NOYES TO BE DISMISSED Attorney General Knox Finds Alaskan Judge Guilty of Mis conduct. WASHINGTON, Feb., 23. Attorney Gen eral Knox baa delivered to the president his findings In the matter of the charges filed against Arthur H. Noyes. judge of th second division of th United State court for Alaska. Th charge allege incom petency and corruption, although the at torney general say the charge of dis honesty wa not pressed. After reviewing the cas at length th attorney general concludes hi report a follow: Such waa the end of thia Nome litiga tion, out of which has sprung so much complaint, bitterness and public scandal. After review it remalna that the actual consequences of those proceedings In the Alaska district court were to bring that court into dlcrespect, and to Impair public confidence in Its wise and Impartial admin istration of Justice. In view of the foregoing, and after th most careful consideration, I have con cluded: , First That the appointment of a re ceiver in th case referred to, without no tice to the defendants, and - the refusal upon hearing to discharge the receiver, and the consequent dispossession of the defendants of their property, were not justified under the facts, the pleadings and the principles of equity. Second That there is no justification shown for the refusal by Judge Noyes to settle a bill of exceptions at the- Instance of the defendants and for the refusal to allow them an appeal. Third That after an appeal had been allowed by the circuit court of appeals, and after a writ of supersedeas had been served on Judge Noyes, the plaintiffs and the receiver. Judge Noyes- attitude toward the writ was one of hostility and obstruc tion, which waa totally inconsistent with his judicial duty toward a superior court and toward the litigants, seeking through that court reversal of his judicial action. Fourth That Judge Noyea should forth with be removed from office. Th president will app.-ov of the find ing and promptly dismiss Judg Noyes from office.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 23. The topic of chief Interest, In senatorial circles today, and, in fact, everywhere In official Washing ton, was the fight In the senate yesterday between Senator Tillman and McLaurln of South Carolina. Numerous conference have been held among senator as to what hould be done to preserve the dignity of the senate and to manifest Its sentiment with reference to th two senators who violated Its traditions. While no plan of procedure ha been agreed upon, It is learned that there will be deliberate action and It I likely it will not be less than thirty days before tbe South Carolina sen ators are restored to their full power as senators, this deliberation on their case being in tbe nature of a punishment, since they will not be allowed to 'address the senat nor to vote until no longer in contempt of the senate. Senator Burrows Is chairman of the com mittee oa privilege and election, and to night he said that In advance of any meet ing of the commute he could not say what would be done, but ha added that the matter Is of such serious Import that It must receive careful consideration. It will be a day or two before the committee meet to take up the resolution referred to it by the senate. Reqalre Farther Apologies. It Is Understood the conferences among senator have shown that the South Caro lina senator have not been sufficiently pun ished, and that th commute wll require further apologies to be submitted to it In writing, with the assurance that uca apology will be made to the senate, before the senators have been sufficiently purged of the contempt. , Th whole matter, as stated in the sen ate report yesterday, is without precedent, and the aenate 1 now to make a precedent in tbe matter of punishment and in re quiring sufficient apology. Th conference today developed th fact that th senators regard the matter with all the seriousness with which they dealt with it yesterday, and that they intend to take such action as will prevent. If possible, similar epi sodes occurring in the future. Tillman and MeLnnrln Reticent. Neither Senator Tinman or McLaurln were disposed to enter Into any discussion today regarding th happening In th senat yesterday. Senator Tillman, how ever, did say, in reply to questions as to whether there had been any developments In the case, that nothing haa occurred. He said: "So far as my own purpose are - concerned. I am simply awaiting de velopment, anfl will act In accordance with ,4rmm4 u' hv nnfnM ttiflmanlvfta -' iitc MitaMrtnacUtofl rt. nt,k n.',t'lfcr menu , - i PHILIPPINE DAY IN SENATE Even tha ' Prince's Visit Is Hot to Interfere with Vote on Tariff Bill. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. In accordance with the agreement heretofore reached, the senate will begin voting at 4 o'clock tomor row on the Philippine tariff bill. All the time of the day's session previous to that hour will be devoted to speeches for and against the bill, the time to be divided between the supporters and th opponents of the bill. The opinion ha been advanced that ye terday'a episode between Senator Tillman and McLaurln might hav tbe effect of causing a postponement of the time for taking the vote in order to permit those senators to speak who have desired to do no, but there is no probability of any change of program. The senate regards a unanimous consent agreement sacredly and never allows anything to Interfere with it According to the present program, Prince Henry will be a witness of a part of th ceremony of tallying th vote on tho first bill, and he will be allowed to observe It either from the floor of the senate or from tbe gallery, as he may prefer. Probably all of the members will be presented to him, but it is not intended that his pres ence shall interfere in any way with th prosecution of th business of th aenate. The Irrigation bill now hold th place of vantage on the senate calendar, next to the Philippine bill, and probably will re celve the attention of the senate after the Philippine bill Is out of the way. There la, however, some Impatience on tha part of the friends of the ablp subsidy bill over th present arrangement, and .if th Irrlga tlon bill should consume a great deal of tlm there may be an effort to displace it. All will depend upon th action of th re publican steering committee. Tbe bill making appropriation for con gress and th different department of tba government will be reported to the senat during the week and probably will be taken up tor action th next day after It 1 re ported. On Thursday th ssnst will unit with th house la tha ceremonies In honor of the memory of President McKlnley.
