offered no defense. Under these circum- stances a large majority of the Senate held that they had no Jurisdiction, and by vote of 8 10 2 declared MT. Bel knap mot guilty
 Many senators explained that they did not vote upon the merits of the case, but purely upon the legal question: MT. Bell<nap at the time was not civil of ficer of the government and since the ut most penalty they could intiict was re- moval from office the senators felt that they were powerless.
 Swayne's Impeachment
 The last impeachment case before that of Judge Archibald was that of Judge Charles Swayne of the district court of Florida. Charges were preferred against him in December, 1904, that he had falsely certified to vouchers for tray- cling expenses and per diem while hold ing court in Tyler, Tex, and other places outside of his district.
 That was in the haleyon days of free passes. when Almost anybody could ride free for the asking. But Judge Swayne added some new touches that were be- yond the reach of the average citizen. At his demand the Jacksonville. Tampa and Key West railroad, which was then in the hands of a receiver appointed by Judge Swayne, was called upon to furnish a pri- yate car to transport him and his family and friends from Guyencourt Del, to Jacksonville, Fla. On another occasion a private ear was supplied to transport his party to California. The car was well stocked with provisions and equipped with a conductor and porter. All ex- penses, including cost of transportation over connecting lines of road, were paid for out of a depleted treasury of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West rail- road. Judge Swayne approved the ex- penditures when certified to him by the receiver he had named. The Senate, however, found him not guilty on each of these counts The vote varied from S3 to 49 on article l to 15 to 6g on articles 1 and 5.

COTTON GOODS LESS ACTIVE 0F LATE

New York, December S-The cotton goods markets have been less active of late, but they still hold very firm. Leading mills have all the business in hand they can handle for the next three months. while many have contract that will carry six months ahead. The scar city of spot merchandise of staple character in first heads is very unusual. and some of the largest houses are car rying the lightest stock sheets in years. Distribution of goods is steady. Re- ports from retail centers indicate a healthy holiday movement.
 Many price readjustments are under way. Fruit of the loom Al bleached cotton were priced at SlAc during the week and all spot goods were sold out at once An advance on this price is looked for Tickings, denims and heavy colored goods are well sold and firm.
 Export trade for the week was lly light, but sale of 1000 bales of standard drills for China was reported for delivery in March and April. The business done on staple prints was larger last week than for some time. Prices of cotton goods rule as follows:
 Print cloths. 2S inch 64x6fs, 41-l6c; elx eos, 15-16c: SsiA inch 64x64's, 51ac stand denims oz. 14c: standard prints, 51ze; denms. Boz 14c; standard prints, bIsc; standard staple ginghams, 1-4c; dress ginghams, 9 1-4c.
