OFFER OF SULLY 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. MINORITY HAST WORD FOR SWAYNE. Continued from Kirst Page. 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. he could pay his debts and the only 'hlng that stood in the way of a set- Titt’sP® Stimulate the TORPID LIVER. strengthen the digestive organs, regulate the bowels, aad era uo •JHfIM •§ M ANTI-BILIOUS MFDICINE, In malarial disirhtethew virtues are SsSsSta f ipfjj.

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 Mr. Gillett is authority for the state ment that the report will be signed by himself, Chairman Jenkins and Rep resentatives Alexander, Parker and Littlefield. Representatives 'Nevin, Thomas, Warner and Pearre were ab sent at the time the vote was taken, but Mr. Gillett believes they also will sign the minority views, \yhich would divide the committee nine against eight for impeachment 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?

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 noerga, are to the effect that the prom 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.
