Charges Filed Against Florida Judge.

The house of representatives on
Thursday devoted its entire session
to the discussion Of impeachment
charges against Judge Charles
Swayne of the northern district OF
Florida. A dramatic incident occurred
when Mr.. Littlefield (Me.) called on
Mr.. Lamar (Fla), who filed the
charges against the Judge, to admit OF
reputation of an alleged interview
which the former claimed tended to
incite the people to commit an act OF
violence against Judge Swayne. Mr..
Lamar admitted giving an interview,
but emphatically denied any sugges-
ton from him that could be construed
into advising assassination or murder.
He said that, although Judge Swayne
was known to be the most lawless
man in Florida, he had remained free
from bodily harm.

STOCK GROWERS WALKED OUT.
Would Not Remain In Organization
Which Admitted Packers to Mem
bershlp.

The National Livestock association
was rent in twain at its session in Den
yer on the 18th, by the adoption of a
new constitution. which admitted the
packers to membership. and provided
an open door through which the rail-
roads of the country might at any time
become factors in the control OF the
organization.
The cattlemen, horse and swine
growers, together with representatives
of some of the affiliated industries, re-
fused to agree to the new constitution,
withdrew when they considered It's
adoption probable. and in the after
noon formed a new organization under
the name of the American Stock-Grow-
ers' association, whose aim 1t will be to
WELD dominating influence in the in

Roughly speaking, the sheep grow

CHINA WILL ENTER DENIAL.
Celestials Will Claim to Have OBJ
served Neutrality

The note of Secretary Hay relative
to the Russian charge of violation by
China of the laws Of neutrality which
is to be presented to the Picking author
tiles by Mr.. Coolidge, the secretary OF
the American legation at Picking, Will.
IT, is expected, be rather welcomed by
the Chinese government as afording
it proper opportunity to make formal
reply to the Russian charges. 1t is
certain that there is nothing in Secre-
tary Hays note in any degree menac-
ing or calculated in any way to touch
the pride of the Chinese. 1t is further
believed that the Chinese government
in anticipation of such action by the
secretary of state, has practically pre-
pared its defense. This will amount
to a sweeping denial of the accuracy
of the Russian charges upon many
points and a declaration that where
the Russian statements are founded
on facts they d. not constitute viola
tions OF the law of neutrality, as &C.
cepted by the powers.

BRAVE SOLDIER IS BLAMED
sToEssEL CONDEMNED FOR SUR.
RENDERING PORT ARTHUR.
Story Being Circulated That Surren'
der Was Not Necessary and That
Soldiers Bitterly Resented
Such Action.

Correspondents from the scene OF
operations in the far east are now
sending in story which places Gen;
eral Stoessel, the defender Of Port
Arthur, in bad light, and which is
intended to show that surrender of the
port was really unnecessary. In a dis
patch from the headquarters Of the
Third Japanese army, appears the fol.
lowing:
Proposals for the surrender OF Port
Arthur were first made December 20 at
a council of war. General Stoessel
was in favor of surrender, but some
Of his general officers and the troops
were not consulted. The first news
they had of the surrender was January
l, after General Stoessel had commu-
nicated with the Japanese.
The scenes following the surrender
were disgraceful. Drunken soldiers
filled the streets and refused to obey
their officers. Many of them de-
stroyed the guns upon the positions
they had defended and came into the
city without permission. The infantry
loudly protested that the fortress had
been given away. They threw their
rifles and ammunition into the harbor
and proceeded to break into ware
houses and loot and drink vodka I'M
til in helpless condition. 1t was evil
dent that the surrender was not neces-
sary, as there were 81 900 effective
men in the fortress. The supply of
ammunition was short, but it was not
exhausted. Food was scarce but pri.
vate stores were not requisitioned by
the military. There is no difficulty in
getting good meals in the city even
now from the stores in private pos
session. A portion of the fortress was
capable of defense for months longer.
1t was the opinion of the non.combat-
ants at Port Arthur that the surren-
der was unnecessary as the troops
were willing and able to fight to the
bitter end.
General Stoessel was much blamed
for what was characterized as dis
graceful conclusion of a splendid de-
tense which ended with the death OF
Major General Kondratenko, who was
loved by the soldiers and was the life

A HUNTERS PARADISE.
Utah Great state for Game, According
to Bounty Payments.


The arrest of Charles Jones of Salt
Lake City, on charge of extensive
bounty frauds in Salt Lake county has
revealed deplorable state of affairs
In both Salt Lake and Weber counties.
Salt Lake county has issued sup
posedly fraudulent bounty certificates
totalling 10 444 between October /,
1904. and Janaury 3, 1905, while in We.
Der county S11 .2S3 is the sum paid out
for the supposed extinction OF wild
animals
At Ogden, on Tuesday, w. r. Swan,
an employee in the Office of the county
clerk, and A. II. Conlisk, member of a
prominent family of the Junction City,
we're arrested on charge of being i'm.
plicated directly in the fraud
Mr.. Conlisk has been employed as
assistant ticket seller at the Union de-
pot, but since last April has made af'
fidavits in support of claims to the ex-
tent of $2,30S50. The form of affidavit
filed out by him and by all others col
lecting bounty money requires that
they make oath to having killed the
animals themselves and within the
past sixty days.
According to the bounties paid out,
the slaughter of wild animals in We
Der county was phenomenal during the
past few months. During the entire
year of 1904, $12,946 was paid in boun.
ties for coyotes, wildcats, wolves,
mountain lions and bears supposed to
have been killed in that part of the
state. The coyote is the popular wild
animal among the hunters of Weber
county, as well as in Salt Lake county.
During the year $40 coyotes were
made to bite the dust. In addition to
these, 4O6 wolves were slaughtered,
1896 wildcats, 10S mountain lions and
only As bears.
Salt Lake county appears to be the
champion hunting grounds of the
world, however, and has at least four
hunters whose names will long be re-
membered by ordinary sportsman. Ac.
cording to bounties paid Edward King
killed 1855 coyotes, 314 wildcats. 100
wolves, 121 mountain lions, Al bears,
during the past hunting season, while
Edward Cooke slew 903 coyotes, 1877
wildcats, "a wolves, 73 mountain lions,
and ~ bear. James German collected
bounty on S42 coyotes, 106 wildcats, So
wolves, AZ mountain lions and Is bear,
while George King succeeded in bag
ging only 622 coyotes, 104 wildcats, 65
wolves, 5 mountain lions and bears
There seems to be no end to the
bounty frauds perpetrated in the state
and 1t is believed that at least $4,000
has been paid out on fraudulent
claims. TIL matter has been taken up
by the legislature, and 1t is probable
the bounty law will be repealed.
More arrests in connection with the
extensive frauds are expected.
