MAY BE ACCEPTED
SUBMITTED TO COMMITTEE
AVI) Wll.il BE CONSIDERED HI
CREDITORS AND RECEIVERS.
Fallen Cotton Kins Reiterate* Hl*
Proposition to Give His Creditors
10 Per Cent, ot Their Claims in
(ash and Long-Tmn Notes for
the Balance—He Will Ursides As.
siKii His Claims Against Hawley
and Hay—*l.loo.ooo Assets.
New York, March 28.—Superintendent
King of the Cotton Exchange, made a
statement to-day to the efTect that
Daniel J. Sully on Saturday afternoon
pied a notice with the exchange to the
effect that his business was in the
hands of receivers and on that account
he could not flis with the exchange a
detailed statement of his assets and
liabilities.
The Sully notice was prompted by the
exchange rule requiring a member to
file such a statement within ten days
after failure to meet obligations. By
complying with the rule as closely as
the circumstances of his affairs per
mitted, Mr. Sully removed any pos
sibility of having his application for
restored membership refused when his
business troubles are settled, the pen
alty for non-compliance with the rule
being a forfeiture of membership
lights.
Statement for Sully.
The following statement was given
out to-day by John R. DosPassos:
"Mr. DosPassos, counsel for Mr.
Sully, appeared before the committee
of creditors in the Cotton Exchange
this afternoon and stated in behalf
of Mr. Sully that the latter desired to
have his affairs arranged and adjust,
ed immediately, and he authorised a
proposition to his creditors of 40 cents
on the dollar, cash, payable within
thirty days, and the balance in notes
without interest, payable in one, two
and three vears.
"In addition to the above he pro
posed to reassign to a committee of
creditors all the rights and titles and
interest of the firm of D. J. Sully &
Cos. ;yid D. J. Sully individually In the
claim or claims which they or he have
against Hawley & Ray, arising out of
their joint transactions and operations
in cotton.
Mr. DosPassos explained that if
the matter were allowed to run along
for an indefinite time the assets of
Sully & Cos. would be diminished and
frittered away by all kinds of ex
penses, and that he appeared before
the committee to have the affairs of
Mr. Sully adjusted on business princi
ples which involved economy and
promptness.
Will Be Considered.
“The committee has no power to ac
cept the proposition of Mr. Sully, but
it was agreed to immediately confer
wilh the receivers and with the cred
itors of D. J, Sully & Cos. for the pur
pose of receiving authority to act upon
the proposition.
“The situation at the present time
is that if the body of creditors agree
to Mr. Sully's proposition he will be
able to resume his Business in the near
future.”
It is assumed the committee of
creditors will meet to-morrow. The
books of the Sully firm show the as
sets to be $1,100,000 as a minimum,
with a possibility of more.

case involving a tract of land, in which
claim was made that Judge Swayne
was interested. The judge's wife had
negotiated for the property, but when
he found it was in litigation, the nego
tiations were dropped. While the suit
was pending before Swayne plaintiffs
and their attorneys brought suit in the
state court against Swayne to eject him
from the property, though *it is assert
ed Swayne never had possession of the
property. The suit -was never pressed
and afterwards the parties were tried
and found guilty of contempt. They
sued out a writ of habeas corpus be
fore Judge Pardee, and he sitting with
two other circuit judges, dismissed the
writ..
Fourth. Hoskins bankrupt case.
The creditors of one Hoskins petitioned
to force him into bankruptcy. The
matter came up for trial on March 31,
and at that time the attorneys for the
creditors asked the court to continue
the case for two weeks until they could
procure certain account books, which
it was alleged belonged to the bank
rupt and which contained material evi
dence for the creditors, and that they
could not safely proceed to trial with
out them. The attorneys for Hoskins,
bankrupt, stated that the books did
not belong to the bankrupt and con
tained no evidence, and that they had
witnesses there to prove this fact.
On March 5 Mr. Richardson, a dep
uty of the receiver in the Hoskins
bankrupt estate, was receiving the
property belonging to said estate from
the United States marshal, and the
books in question were taken by him
from the bankrupt's store. The* bank
rupt told his son to take the- books
from the deputy receiver, and he did
ao, claiming them to belong to him.
But in order to do this, he was obliged
to use force, and he dragged Richard
son, who is an old man, from his bug
gy and brutally beat him so that he
was confined to his bed for several
weeks.
Acted With Discretion.
The receiver filed an affidavit in
Judge Swayne's court, setting forth
the facts nbove Stated, stating that
he believed that the books belonged
to the bankrupt, that they were taken
by force from an officer of the court,
'nd asked for a rule to cite young
Hoskins to appear and show cause why
he should not be punished for con
tempt. Young Hoskins evaded the of
ficers, kept the books and never did
produce them.
•Tudjte Swayne wanted Hoskins to
Produce the books, as they were the
best evidence, but he never did, and
Judge Swayne refused to proceed with
the trial until they were produced, and
In doing so exercised a reasonable dis
cretion. At this lime all of Hoskins'
properly had ben turned over to him.

The foregoing are the charges upon
which it is asked that Judge Swayne
be impeached and the main facts sur
rounding each case as shown by -the
minority report. It also appears- re
cording to the report that though
Judge Swayne was charged with cor
ruption, ignorance and incompetence,
that no evidence to support such
charges were given, and that no evi
dence was offered.to show that bank
ruptcy cases pending before' him were
mismanaged.
Oh the contrary, the report asserts,
the records introduced show that he
has made a good record as a judge
and that in the administration of
bankruptcy cases, as appears from the
attorney general's report, the average
cost of each case has been fan less
than the average cost throughout the
country. i

ment that the report will be signed by
himself, Chairman Jenkins and Rep
resentatives Alexander, Parker and

NEW PENSION ORDER
DISCUSSED BY SENATE.
Carmnrk Thinks It Infringes Vpon
Rights of Congress.
Washington, March 28.—-The Senate
to-day for three- hours discussed the
recent order of the Pension Bureau
making old age an evidence of disa
bility, and then took up and passed the
District of Columbia _ appropriation
bill.
The discussion of the pension order
was based .upon the resolution offered
some days ago by Mr. Carmack, di
recting the Committee on Judiciary to
inquire into the authority, of the ex
ecutive branch of the government to
make such an order. Mr. Carmack con
tended that no such authority exists.
Mr. Carmack characterized the order
90,000 People
vantages. Here are a few:" To sleep like an infant, undisturbed.
To awaken in the morning fresh like the flowers.
To feel kindly towards all .mankind. Cheerful, hopeful, happy. That's how a
Specimen lives.
Would you like to be a Specimen? Are you willing to invest so much as si.oo to feel
about roo per cent, better than you do?
It’s easy if you trv—lmpossiole unless you try.
There is not one soul of the who are not specimens, who would not be vastly
improved by a course of Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic

Now I make this offer. Buy at once two bottles of Johnson's Tonic. Buy them from
some hgnest dealer who does not practice substitution. Pay SI.OO and take them ac
cording to directions. If these two bottles don’t do you SSOO worth of good, come to me

Now at the beginning of Spring is the time to eradicate every trace of Malaria, kill
every Grip Germ and stimulate a sluggish Liver. Use Johnson's Tonic. Use nothing else.

piece of executive legislation ind
5 wSt ** as "another instance of
(X'T’titivo encroachment upon the pre
rpgsttvc of Congress." He quoted from
a service pension bill pending before
Congress to show that the order hail
copied its exact language. "Why,"
Mr. -Carmack asked, and replied that
it was because it had become evident
that no pension "legislation could be
got through Congress. “Then," he
went on. "the secretary said, we won’t
fool with those cattle up there (as
the President once called Congress);
we wen’t fool with those cattle, but
we win accomplish the same result by
executive order, a simple twist of the
wrist.”
Mr. Foraker asked if it was not true
that Mr. Cleveland had issued a similar
order in regard to Mexican pensions,
but Mr. Carmack insisted that the ac
tion of Mexican pensions was the re
sult of legislation and not of an execu
tive order.
Mr. Carmack admitted, however, that
the first step fixing old age as an evi
dence of disability had been taken by
Mr. Cleveland. The order In that cas;
was, however, comparatively reasona
ble, and the precedent has been vio
lently seized upon by the present oc
cupant of the White House to extend
the Brattice.
Mr. Foraker said his understanding
of the order is that an ex-soldier does
not necessarily come into a pension at
the age of 62, but that the fact of age
is only an evidential fact to be con
sidered by the department. The effect
was to give a man of 62 years a prima
facie case before the department.
Replying to Mr. Mallory, Mr. Fora
ker said the age limit had doubtless
been lessened to meet the spirit and
purpose of the pension law as shown
by the enactment in the case of Mexi
can pensions.
The Senate adjourned until to-mor
row. * '
Set Back 40 Years liy a Blow on
Head.
Binghamton, (N. Y.) Telegram to the
New York World.
Edward Smith, a farmer of Nichols,
a few miles west of this city, recently
cut down a tree in his woods. As the
tree fell he stepped to one side, when
he was struck on the-head by a sapling
that had been bent over by the falling
tree'and had suddenly sprung back.
The blow cut a gash in his forehead
and stunned him badly. It was
thought that the injury would not be
serious, and it was not, as far as phy
sical indications went. Instead of re
covering from the blow Mr. Smith lost
all memory of his life for the past for
ty year* and imagines himself to be a
boy again at the age he was forty years
ago.
He goes about the farm on which he
lived when a boy and wants to play
boyish games and pranks as of yore.
MADE A PLEA FOrThF
GROWERS OF TOBACCO.
Trimble of Kentucky Made an At
tack Ipon the Trust.
Washington. March 28.—1n the House
to-day Mr. Trimble of Kentucky spoke
in behalf of the tobacco growers of the
country, and said they should be put
orv the tame plane as the cotton and
wheat growers. He made a plea for
the removal of the tax of 6 cents a
pound on this article, so that the pro
ducers may reach the consumer with
out paying "this enormous and In
iquitous tax " The grower, he said,
had but one buyer, the tobacco trust,
and he said because of this tax "a
foreign corporation is robbing the
American tobacco grower every year
ot upon an average of $14,000,000.”
Although the tax had been reduced
from 12 to 6 cents, he declared the
consumer had not been benefited.
Asa result of the tobacco trust, Mr.
Trimble said that the negro was in a
worse fix than when he was a slave,
because then his master fed and cloth
ed him and cared for him in sickness,
but to-day the tobacco trust had forced
on him half rations and lets him go
hungry and half-naked and had no
compassion for him.
The House' adjourned until to-mor
row. ~ .
PEACH CROP'IS SAFE
IN NORTH GEORGIA.
Chattanooga, Tenn., March 28.—Re
ports from the fruit-growing sections
of North Georgia, Alabama and that
part of TeWneSsee adjSceht to Chatta

ised immense peach crop worth sl,-
500,000 is safe.
From only one section, Rhea coun
ty, Tennessee, comes the report that
the pear and peach crop has been kill
ed by yesterday's cdld snap. The loss
there will reach $150,000.
No Danger of Frost.
Atlanta, March 28.—The weather has
moderated considerably to-night, and
it is believed that there is no danger
of frost in the northern section of the
state, though a light frost may come
in localities. At any rate the Weather
Bureau and the Agricultural Depart
ment feel that the fruit is safe, though
both hesitate to make any positive
assertion on the subject, and will not
d6 so until after the cold weather has
passed.
