WORK OF CONGRESS The Senate and House Regularly at Work-What They are Doing. Mr. Webb's Fight For Free Cotton. Congressman Webb Tuesday made a strenuous and all but successful ef fort to so amend the Philippine tariff bill as to remove the duty on cotton. On the first vote, the majority ,ed up in su.pport of the North Carolina member, but Mr. Scott, of Kansas, who was in the chair, rescued the sit uation for the committee having charge of the bill by announcing that a sec ond vote would be taken, owing to the fact that there had been so much con fusion in the chamber. The amend ment was then voted down by the small majority of 99 to 95, and mo tion to recommit the bill, made by Mr. Cooper, ranking minority member of the ways and means committee, fail ed to effect any material change in the Republican majority. When Mr. Webb was advocating the adoption of his amendment, Mr. Payne took issue I with him, whereupon the North Caro lina member asked the Republican floor leader if he did not know that remov al of duty on cotton would aid the Republican mill owners of Fall River. Mr. Payne said he did not know that it would, to which Mr. Webb replied that it was the duty of the chairman of the ways and means committee to know a fact so potent. Rate Bill to Go Cver. The Senate Tuesday passed the Mili. tary Academy appropriation bill and beaan consideration of the Indian ap propriation bill. Early in the day, in response to a question, Mr. Elkins, chairman of the committee of inter State commerce, expressed the opinion that it would be impossible to secure railroad rate legislation during the present session of Congress. The Sen ate took up the isthmian canal bill, and agreed to meet an hour earlier to, morrow, in order to advance the bill. Ex-Senator Higgins finished his pre liminary statement in opening the de fense for Judge Swayne. and one wit ness for Judge Swayne was examined. Mr. Elkins, in his statement, regard ing the railway rate bill, said: "No decision as to an effort to pass the bill this session has been reached, but with the limited time at their dis posal, it would seem that there is very little prospect of that result before adjournment, with only ten days of the session left and with much other imperative business to be performed. It would hardly seem probable that the most important economic question of the day could be disposed of in so short a time, and especially in view of the fact that only one side of the question has so far been presented to the committee." Mr. Carmack. a member of the ccm mittee on inter-State coimerce. ex cused himself from speaking for the committee, on the ground that "such joyous harmony exists there as to ob literate party lines." He said he could s assure the Senate that all of the com e mittee are actuated by a keen desire o to execute at the earliest possible moment the promises made by the o President of the United States, and through the medium of the Democratic platform, and to add that it is the intention of the whole committee to be guided in this matter by the Presi dent. Indeed," he added, "I may go tfurther, and say, and the chairman of the committee will correct me 1f dI am wrong, that I am authorized to inform the Senate that all the mem bers recognize in the President the foremost disciple and ablest lieutenant of William J. Bryan."- The state ment caused a general burst of laugh ter, and the incident closed. When the hearing in the Swayne Im yneachment trial was resumed, Mr. Hale presented an order for a vote in the ySwayne case at 4 p. m. Saturday, and asked that it go over. He said he ywould insist 'upon the liberal enforce ment of the rule governing the closing ,arguments In the case. Mr. Palmer replied that the House managers would desire at least six hours for the presentation of the case for the prosecution. He said that each of the managers would desire to be heard. Senate Gets Busy. LThe Senate Wednesday considered at some length the bill providing a civil egovernment fcr the Panama Canal zone. The question of the government's ownership of the Panama Railroad and .its relationship to the general question of government ownership of railroads kwas debated freely. 1A number of witnesses were exam dimed on behalf of Judge Swayne in the impeachment proceeding against him. ~-Washington's Farewell was -read by sMr. Perkins at the beginning of the session. nMr. Hale re-introduced in somewhat different form his resolutiop to bring the Swayne impeachment trial to a ~close next Saturday, saying that he hoped, in view of information received, -he would not be compelled to agamD .call it up. This Information, he said, was to the effect that an'arrangement was being perfected whereby the trial might be terminated by the end of the present week. He added that un less such an arrangement could be consummated he would find some way )fof bringing the matter to the attention tof the Senate so as to get a vote. He esaid that In order to get action upou ~the appropriation bills It was abso lutely necessary to promptly dispose of ~the trial. SMr. Bacon objected to undue expe dition in disposing of the Swayne mat ~ter, saying that while he agreed with Mr. Hale as to the importance of press ing consideration of the regular busi ness of the Senate, he regarded the trial as a constitutional function of great dImportance, and therefore desiring of most careful consideration. He sug gested longer daily sessions of the Sen ate. >Consideration of the till for the gov enent of the Panama. Canal zone was then resumed.

Cleveland, 0., Specal.-Mrs. Chad wick, when placed on the stand in the bankruptcy proceedin.s against her before Referee Remington, she re fused at first to be sworn. After 'on siltation with her attorneys she final1y cnsented to take the oath. She was then asked to state her name. She refused to reply to tais or any other questions that followed. Mrs. Chadwick sought refuge in her privileges as an accused person, and she refused to answer most of the questions on the ground that what she said might tend to aid the prosecution of her criminal cases. Referee Rem ington found in her favor, although he insisted, against her counsel's wish es, in making her give a quasi-expla nation of her refusal. "My financial affairs are so closely allied with the case in the Federal Court that anything affecting the one must necessarily affect the other," said Mrs. Chadwick, and the referee de clared that that explanation of her position was as admirably expressed as it could be. "What they want is to get posses sion of our Information," stoutly de clared Attorney Dawley, on behalf of Mrs. Chadwick. Despite Dawley's objections and his irate declarations that Mrs. Chadwick was being unjustly and improperly im posed on Mrs. Chadwick was . forced to take the stand and be sworn. This she did very gracefully, smiling pleas antly and cheerfully, as the referee administered the oath. But she refus ed to say that she was Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, and smilingly persisted in - that course. Referee Remington-vain ly appealed to her, explained to her, cajoled her, and almost threatened her. Mrs. Chadwick was an interested lis tener to all he had to say, but his conversation moved her not a jot. Fin ally Remington grew a little exasper ated at her cheerful indifference. - Is this by your advice?" he stern ly inquired of Dawley. "I refuse to answer," was Dawley's reply. "Counsel can take care of him self," he said significantly. "I am not under obligations to disclose to any one, not even the court, the nature of my professional advice to my client." Theentire examination was a series - of wrangles and disputes. Mrs. Chad--J wick answered a few questions bprt her answers were remarkably free from information. Finally the court and counsel agreed to resume the hear ing March 13, with the understanding that Mrs. Chadwick would testify free ly on .that date if the criminal cases against her had been disposed of by that time.
