 CASE. CONCLUDED.

Accused Florida Judge submits Long
 statement in His own Defense-A
 History Of His oareer--Hints That
 Politics Are the Cause of the Charges
 Declares He Has Never Allowed
 Anything but Law and Facts to In
 huence Him.
 1 Washington, Nov. 2S.-The testimony in the Judge Swayne case was conclud- ed to-day after the judge had submit ted long statement giving a history of his career as judge. The state ment was defense of his course. He said that the prosecution of the elec- tion frauds of 1888 created a bitter feel ing against him. The Florida district was divided by a political act of dem ocratic congress. signed by democrat 1 tc president. He then went into an ex- tended argument to show that he was resident of the northern district of Florida. Judge Swayne also went over l the contempt cases in his court and de- tended his acts, the facts of which were nearly all set forth in the minority re- port in favor of Judge Swayne and in previous testimony taken. Referring to the case Of D. T. Davis and Simeon Belden, he said that nothing was shown that would indicate malice on his part. Judge Swayne defended his course in the Hoskins case. No tender, he said, was ever made by Hoskins in his court for settlement. He said he saw no grounds for suspicion that a conspiracy existed to break up Hoskins' business. He believed, and the testimony showe6s that the books taken by young Hosldns were taken on the advice and with the aid of the alleged bankrupt, Hoskins. He denied that he had in any way prejudiced the case of young Hoskins, 1 for whom contempt warrant had been issued. Judge Swayne Justified his acc ton in sentencing w. c. O'Neal to sixty days in Jail for contempt.

He never made, he said, but one trip from " " dAS " rloiiud III q pr1Ndte crtr. He made one trip in the same car to the Pacific coast and paid for the pro- visions himself. He asserted that dur ing his term as judge he never allowed. l anything to influence his acts outside of the law and facts.

Chamber of Deputies Begins Discussion
 Os Measure.


 OS Measure.
 Paris. Nov. 2s.-The chamber of dep uties to-day began the debate on FL nance Minister Rouvier's bill establish ing an income tax. The measure, which makes sweeping changes in the fiscal system and is due largely to the grow ing strength of the socialists but has the approval of the government, SUD- presses the present taxes on doors, windows and other evidences of person. al property amounting to the total of $40, ,000,000.

Over $500 the rate gradually increases, the highest rate being about ? per cent. on incomes about $4,000.

JAPANESE ACTIVE ON

 There VIII be No Cessation of Hos-

 burg Hears That Latest Assault on
 Port Arthur Has Been RepuIsed.
 St. Petersburg. Nov. 28.-General sakharoff to-day telegraphs as follows:
 The Japanese attack onTsinkhetchen was checked by our artillery fire. and the fighting ceased at o'clock in the evening of November 27. At no point did the enemy advance nearer than with in six hundred paces of our positions. Tn the midst of the battle blinding snow storm came, causing suspension of hostilities and when the weather cleared at o'clock in the afternoon, a turning movement against our right flank was ohserved.''
 General Kuronatkin, under yester- days date, reports that the Japanese offensive movement which began No- vember 24. near the village Of Tsink- hetchen, on the front of the left flank, was of an indecisive character up to 4 ?. m. November 26, and was checked I by the Russian fire. Although the fight X ing had then lasted three days the Rus sian troops were in excellent spirits.
 A later dispatch from General Kuro- patkin reaorts that the night of No vember 27 passed quietly at Tsinkhetch- en, but the Japanese resumed the of lfensive at o'clock this morning on the Russian left flank.
 The opinion is now expressed by the general staff that the Japanese intend taking the offensive, as they cannot af- ford to wait till the Russians are fur ther reinforced. It is held that the fighting to the eastward Is doubtless with the purpose of feeling out the Rus sian positions preparatory to an ad- vance Tn that direction; but as there are about 1000 Russian troops south west of Sintsintin, where fighting oc- cured on November 26, and probably twice as many more in the mountains between Bentsia9utze and sintsintin any Japanese move from this quarter would entail serious fighting. At the same time correspondents at the front continue to scoutssti1e idea or serious I fighting being imminent.
 London, Nov. 9.-Generals Kuropat- kin and Sakharoff are sending daily long detailed accounts Of apparently rather unimportant fighting, which may, however, possibly turn out to be the beginning of another great battle holding the fate of Mukden.
 Japanese in London decline to believe that there will be a cessation of hostili- ties til spring.
 General sakharoff, in addition to his report of the Japanese attack on Tsin- khetchen, announces that the Japanese in force occupied the village of Nan ihantga and the adjoining ravine in front of Poutiloff Clone Tree) Hill. No further news from Port Arthur has been received beyond reports from Shanghai that the storming of the Rus sian stronghold continues.
 According to the Daily Telegraph's dispatch from Chefoo. very few of Ad- miral Togo's ships are now seen block ading Port Arthur.
