Tho House Thursday adopted a resolution directing the judiciary committee to Inquire into the official conduct of Chas. Swayne, judge of the United States District Court for the northern district of Florida, and to "report whether the action of the House is requisite." Mr. Lamar, Democrat,' of Florida, offered the resolution, announcing that he desired to impeach Judge Swayne. A lively debate was had before the resolution was adopted. A number of the members o nthe majority side sought to have the resolution referred to the judiciary committee, that a recommendation might bo had from that committee before voting on its adoption. The minority solidly supported Mr. Lamar in bis opposition to the motion to refer, and several Republicans voted against reference. There were but f?w dissenting votes on the motion to adopt the resolution. The first o fthe appropriation bills? the pension bill?was reported to the House today and notice was given that it will be called up tomorrow ior consideration. Mr. Lamar, Democrat, of Florida, rising to a question of privilege after announcing that he would offer a resolution in which would be embodied a joint resolution of the Florida Legislation, said: "In pursuance of that joint resolution I desire to impeach Charles Sawyne, judge of the United States District Court, for the northern district of Florida, with high crimes and misdemeanors." The rosolution, after reciting in the preamble the reoslutlon of the Florida , Legislature, says: "Resolved, That the committee on the judiciary be directed to inquire and report wnetner tne anion 01 me nsuse is requisite concerning the official misconduct of Charles Swayne, judge of the United States District Court for the northern district of Florida, and say whether said judge has held terms of his court as required by law, whether he has continuously and persistently absented himself from the said State, and whether his acts and omissions in his office of judge have been such as in any degree to deprive the people of that district of the benefits of the court thereon to amount to a denial of justice; whether the said judge has been guilty of corrupt conduct in office and whether his administration of his office has resulted in injury and wrong to litigants of his court." The resolution further authorizes the judiciary committee to send for persons and papers and to do other things essential to the investigation. The birth of the republic of Panama and its recognition by this government was the subject of a spirited debate in the House. Mr. Dinsmore, Democrat, of Arkansas, during the consideration of tho pension appropriation bill, severely criticised the administration in connection wun me canal, and Mr. Hitt, Republican, of Illinois, chairman of the foreign committee, put in a generous defense of the President and his Central American policy. Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, the minority leader, replied to Mr. Hitt, declaring that the minority did not condone the part taken by this government. Nearly the whole of the four hours' session was taken up in a discussion of the Isthmian question. No conclusion was reached on the pension bill. Mr. Dinsmore said the Panama republic had been established and that it exists by the power of the Pnited States and that without that power it could not exist. Nothing had, he said, been gained that could not have been gained in a straightforward way. True Bills Found. Omaha.

Colon, By Cable.?A rumor is in circulation here to the effect that 3,000 soldiers have left Cartagena for the purpose of invading the Isthmus. No details are known, and the rumors cannot be confirmed. It probably had its source at Port Limon, Costa Rica, where it was brought by steamer from Cartagena. The only possible means of approaching Panama is by narrow and difficult mountain passes through the Indian country. The United States cruiser Atlanta is now off the Indian coast. Venice Inundated. Venice, By Cable.?As a result of the extremely bad v.eather, with a violent wind, which has prevailed for some days. Venice was almost entirely under water for a few hours Sunday.

Accompanying these nomination were e those of about 25 civilian appointees, including that of Dr. W. D.

In con| elusion, it has been decided that between the time of the falling of the j gavel on the extra session, signifying r the conclusion of the extraordianry 3 session, and the calling to order of < of the Senate in the regular session of y Congress, an appreciable lapse of e time occurred.

Special.?The Supreme (* Court of the United State3 Monday de' cided that sewing machines may be sold and shipped Into North Carolina r} without requiring the payment of the . tax of $3..'0 required on the manu'act ture and sale of those machines in the State. The opinion was rendered in the case of the Norfolk & Western Rall5 road Company vs. John R. Sims, sheriff r of Person county, N. C. The case arose s In connection with the purchase of a s machine by Mrs. 0. L. Satterfield, of . the town of Roxboro, in that State. She a nr^orpri it frnm Chlcaeo. and it was a v- ??? _ sent "cash on delivery." There was an effort on the part of tj?e authorities to collect the license, on the ground that, as the money was paid in North Caroe lina, the sale was really made there. s The State court accepted this view of a the case, but they were reversed by toe day's opinion, which held that the de8 cision was an interference with interState commerce, and that the sewing ~ machine could not be taxed as long as a it remained in the original package.

' :'1 ; FIXING FOR WAR. * ! ?? .L 1 Our Army and Navy Making Preparations for Conflict # REPORTS MAY ONLY BE A SCARE r ! Qen. Reyes Said Movement of Colombian Troops Was Without His Orders. ? Washington, Special.?Dr. Herran. the Colombian charge d-affaires, has authorized the statement that if the troops from Cartagena have landed near the mouth of the Atrato river, as reported by the French steamer which has arrived at LaGuira, it is directly in [ opposition to the advice of both himself and General Reyes. General Reyes i stated that the LaGuira dispatch was ! the first information he had received of the reported movement of Colombian troops and he declared, however, that 1 if it is true as stated such movement lias iun.ru piatc il yvaa wiuiwut au; v/*ders from him. Upon coming to Washington as the special representative of the Colombian government, General Reyes temporarily relinquished the command of the Colombian army, the duty falling upon General Castro, second In command. General Reyes confirmed the statement recently made by Admiral Coghlan in a report to the Navy Department that prior to hla de- N parture for Washington the Colombiantroops made no hostile demonstration, nor would they until he was heard from. The general has been fully Informed by the President himself as to the intentions of the government of the United States respecting the isthmus. He was told by the President, as was set out in the President's message to. J Congress, the United States had deter-' ,,|j of the new republic of Panama against , ali comers. While this guarantee is contained in a treaty now pending bofore the United States Senate and as yet unratified, the administration has for some time past been acting upon the theory that the understanding is in full force. Therefore all necessary preparations have been made to exert wuaiever pil/Sll'dl IUICC ma; uc ucvw sary to protect the isthmian transit. Colombian troops will not be allowed to cross the frontier into Panama; or, If they cross they will be ejected in due time. The policy of the Navy Department with respect to the entry of Colombian troops into Panama was said today tobe to prevent a conflict before It com- i menced. To this end, the naval com- j manders In those waters have been instructed to keep the Colombian troope at a greater distance from the isthmus at points where a fight with the Panamaian troops is likely to occur. In _ all naval operations, it may be stated on authority, the Department is still ' - H x X? -a 10l/?

A broader interpretation of the duties and responsibilities of the government in this respect had now been given to this treaty by which the protection of the United States will not alone be confined to the canal strip, but to an/ part of the territory of Panama.
