After the passage of the omnibus bill claims bill and fixing January 28 for the delivery of addresses in memory of the late Senator Hoar, the Senate devoted the day to the Statehood bill. Mr. Morgan spoke for two hour3 against the bill. The speech of Mr. Morgan followed closely the arguments he made against the Statehood legislation proposed two years ago, but he spoke particularly of the ehnrarfer of the nnnnlntlmi of New Mexico and Indian Territory. He declared that the framers of the legislation were of the white race and that it was not the intention of the Mexicans, Indians, negroes and half-breeds should be brought into citizenship. He said that if Arizona and New Mexico were admitted into the Union this clas3 of citizenship would control the elections and that bribes and whiskey might control them. Mr. Mallory presented the minority ( report of the merchant marine commission. It was referred to the com- , mittee on commerce. > -t The omnibus claims bill was passed with several committee amendments. It carries direct appropriations amount- | ing to about $2,800,000. The Senate ad- , journed. The Swayne Investigation. The House of Representatives devoted its entire session to discussion of the impeachment charges against Judge Charles Swayne, of the north- i ern district of Florida- A dramatic , indent occurred when Mr. Little- . flairof Maine, called oh Mr. Lamar, of \ Korida. who filed the charges against tne judge, to admit or repudiate an i alleged interview which the former claimed tended to incite the people ( to commit an act of evidence against Judge Swayne. Mr. Lamar said thai 'although Judge Swayne was known to ; be the most lawless man in Florida he had remained secure from bodily ! harm. Mr. Lamar, of Pennsylvania, chairman cf the committee of seven, ap- . pointed by the Speaker to prepare , the case against Judge Swayne, ex- ( plained that the majority of the com- , in 11 ic" ifiu icttivcu lucu tyiKiuaiuu.') j after most painstaking deliberation and it remained for the House to take } such further action in the case as it ( might deem proper. Mr. Palmer defined what constituted impeachment offenses and said a . judge could be impeached for any mis- j behavior. He then gave a resume cf ( the 12 articles cf impeachment, which his committee had brought in. . Replying to a question by Mr. Cock- j ran, of New York, as to whether any luigatiant was opposed by the alleged j failure of Judge Swayne to acquire a . legal residence in his district. Mr. Pal- ( mer said the evidence abounded in , such cases. He discussed at length , the statute governing contempt cases, | and said it was "so plain that a way- \ taring man or a fcol may not err ^ therein." That, he said, was "where j this man has sinned." { ?'r. Palmer evoked loud applause "( when, raising his voice, he declared his intention of introducing at the j present session a bill which would f give every man punished for contempt ( the right to appeal to some higher j court. t Mr. Palmer reviewed the contempt eases of Delden and Davis, saying that j Judge Swayne claimea that the pun- ] ishment of the two men was moderate, j "I hope" he added. "God will be good to the men that Judge Swayne Imposes a severe sentence upon." Referring to the real estate transaction of Judge Swayne in Pensacola*. s Mr. Palmer said that no other judge '< on pprth urnnl/i havo rlnnn ennh a k tLlng. i Judge Swayne's court, he said, was t reeking with bankruptcies, scandals ? and suicides, and he did not believe the judge had a friend in his district. The Senate and the Mormons. r Nearly the entire day Thursday In ? the Smoot investigation was devoted ? to a continuation of testimony relating ? to political conditions in Idaho. Frank i Martin and F, H. Holzheimer, promi- * nent Idaho Democrats, testified that a j p. ajority of the; Democrats of the State j opposed "an unnecessary attack" on s the Mormon Church, which they said J was the effect of the anti-polygamy { plank of the party's State platform. j James H. Bradley, chairman of the t Republican State committee, told of taking advantage of the Democratic charges in order to get votes for the Republican ticket. He charged also that the Democrats traded off Judge ] Parker, the Democratic candidate for , Fresident, for votes for former Senator Heitfleld, the Democratic candidate 1 for Governor. Just Before the adjourn- ] ment was taken, J. W. N. Whitecotton, ] of Prove, Utah, was called to the stand and- an examination- began in relation to political conditions in Utah. 1 Mr. Holzheimer said there had been no plural marriages in Idaho since the 1 manifesto. He 6aid all young Mormons were opposed to polygamy; that the practice of polygamy in Idaho is only in isolated cases: that there had been a tew cases where children have been born in plural families since the manifesto, but that there are not more than j 20 or 30 plural families in the whole State, and that the Church did not interfere In politics. Mr. Martin said he never had known 1 of any instance of Mormon interfer- \ ence In the politics of Idaho. He said , 1 e had he? * it charged that Mormon ' influence f defeated former Governor Morrison re-nomination, but he t lieved 30 cent, of the peop'-^^^B not credit s charge. The w>* ^fisex- 1 pressed th. >pinion that ! . an an- ' nouncemer jy Senator ' ?6is that he ; intended t' >ush tb* .-scut investigation that p Mormon controversy of c & la%t campaign. Mr. Bradf said that he made a careful investigation of the number of polygamists in Idaho, and to the best of his information there were only 56. He haid that Mormon precincts in which ' Mormon polygamists campaigned showed a falling off in the Republican vote. This information was gdveu to show that the younger Mormons were opposed to polygamy. "It is all bosh," said the witness, "to 1 say that Mormons get everything they 1 want in Idaho?at least, if they do they < want very little." 1 DR. CARR'S SAD END Prominent Physical Kills Himself in Fit of Despondency ILL HEALTH THE IMMEDIATE CAUSE Prominent Durham Physician ; a, Bullet Into His Own Head?Gave Intimations of His Intention?Met Death Calmly While at Prayer?A Brother of General Julian S. Carp. * * Durham N. C., Special.?All of Durham was horrified early Friday morn ing when the news spread rapidly over the streets that Dr. A. G. Carr, one of Durham's old and highly honored cit'icns and one among the best known physicians in the State, had taken his own life. He committed suicide in his elegant home on East Main street at G:45 o'clock, using a 32-eallitre pistol and firing one shot into his brain. The barrel of the pistol was placed in his right ear and the ball reached a vital spot, death following instnatly. At the time of the suicide there were but three persons in the house? Dr. Carr, his' wife. Mrs. Annie Carr, and the cook. The only son who i3 now at home, Mr. William Carr, had left but a few minutes before for the Durham Hosiery Mill, where he holds a position. The muffled shot was lieard by the cook, who was on the first floor almost immediately under the bath room, where the tragedy was ?naeted. She ran up stairs and found Dr. Carr in a small closet, connecting with the bath rcom, in a kneeling position with blood streaming from nis tread. She ran back down stairs and told Mrs. Carr and then told the colored man who was at the stable when the shot was fired. The latter ran into the bath room and then went to the house of Col. Harper Ervin, lust across the street, and told him to come quickly. This he did and just is he ran into the bath room and *?J u Ha ^ oofnr hp raised uit; ucau vsi luc uww., -v jrcathed his last. He never uttered a ivord after the leaden messenger of ieath was fired Into his brain. Coroler Maddry was summoned and examined into the facts surrounding his icath, but an inquest was not deemed jecessary and the body was turned >ver to the undertaker. FAILURE OF HEALTH THE CAUSE. There is no doubt but that failing tealth and melancholia caused by his [ihysical condition caused him to take ;he rash step. For three hionths or nore he had been greatly depressed ind did not seeem like hi3 former ;elf. He wa3 dejected and care-worn. Several time3 he expressed himself as wishing that the end would come so hat he could pass away from his sufferings. No one. however, anticipated that he would take his own life. The dead man was last seen alive )y his son. When Mr. Will Carr started to the hosiery mill about 6:30 j'clock. he saw his father, who was n his r'eht clothes and going towards i :he bath rccm. The position of the dead man when ound was such as to leave no doubt sut that he knelt in prayer and then ired the fatal shot. S. A. i. Reorganization.

A Charlottesville special says that when the news of the action of the Supreme Court In denying a writ or error was conveyed to McCue, he lost his nerve and fainted. iTY^' PROGRESS OF THE EASTERN WAR # Some Hard Fighting is Promised in ET,.?,.r> nw?i ruku*?t St. Petersburg, By Cable.?The War Office does not admit that the appearance of General Mistchenko's cavalry southwest of Llao Yang is more than j a raiding expedition designed to strike he railroad at several points and in- , terrupt the transportation of General Nogi's guns from Port Arthur to Man| cburia, but from certain indications it seems possible that it is preliminary I ;o an operation of magnitude.- GeuI oral Mistchenko has over 20,000 horse- , men, and, moving rapidly, might be able to damage seriously communications in the rear of Liao Yang.

Tokio, By Cable., noon?Late reports from Newchwang indicate that General Mitchento's Cossacks in their recent raiding southwest of Liao Yang deliberately invaded neutral territory and broke the limits of the war zone. The reported Russian note to the powers calling attention to China's ncn-enforcement of neutrality is regarded here in some quarters as absurd. . It is felt that China's weakness and constant failure to enforce neutrality must release Japan from obligation to observe restrictions which Russia openly ignores. While the extension of belligerent territory is to be regretted, it i3 felt that Japan must take steps to protect herself against the repetition of raiding expeditions whose success depends on the violation of neutral territory.
