ST. LOUIS. June 27.-Troubles which
have been brewing in the California
Worlds Fair committee official family
almost since the opening Of the exposi-
tiOn, but which have been known TO
but few outside the Mission building,
eliminated to-day in the resignation of
/. 3. Willis, secretary Of the commit

Pardee was here TO sever his connec-
ton.
Clarence Willis. son Of the secretary,
who has been attached TO the commit
tee as draughtsman, also resigned. The
entire Willis family viii withdraw from
the State building The only statement
that Willis would make was this:

the job. I have worked as long as
thought I could do the State any good.

the work finished TO the present time

complaint is that I have been over
worked. I have not had one day to see

Secretary Willis said nothing about
some things that have been gossip
among a few Of the California colony
for weeks. One Of these is that there
have been strained relations between
Mrs. Virgins. wife Of one Of the COM
missiOners, and Mrs. Willis, and that
for more than a fortnight they have
not spoken nor taken their meals at
the same time in the upper part Of the
State building. which is reserved for
the exclusive use Of the official family.

tion Of social precedence, as sometimes
occurs at the court Of King Edward.

man Metcalf said to-day that when a

the Democratic convention. This, it
is said. has been his policy since that
time Metcalf asserted that, in his
opinion, the New England States
would demand a man who would make
a positive statement Of his position.
and unless General Miles made one
they would vote against him. National
Chairman Stewart said to-day:
General Miles is a very able man.
He has been a consistent friend of the
anti-liquor movement and in a broad
sense a prohibitionist, but even those
who arc pressing forward his name for
the nomination by our party this year
do not say hew he stands on the meth

HIGH ALTITUDE CAUSES
DEATH OF AN ASSAYER
Mining Man Dies as Result of Sudden
Change From Low Elevation to
Mountain Top.

SALT LAKE. June 27.-Sudden
change from a low elevation to an
altitude of 10000 feet is given as the
cause of the death of Jackson Taylor
at the mining camp of Alta yester-
day. Taylor came to Utah about
week ago from his home at New
burgh, n. Y. He graduated this year
from the Columbia School Of Mines
in New York and was employed as
assayer at a mine IN Alta. Alta is
about twenty miles distant from Salt
Lake and is on the summit Of the
wasatch Mountains. more than
mile higher than Salt Lake.
The remains were brought to Salt
Lake by team to-day and will be
shipped to Jackson's home in New
burgh.

ST PETERSBURG, June 21.-Lieu-
tenant General Sakharoff's dispatch re-
ceived tonight confirms the belief that
the great decisive battle of. the cam
paign between General Kuropatkin
main army and the armies of Generals
Kuroh and Oku is imminent. The three
armies aggregate 100000 men, and their
outposts are to-day in touch all along
the line. The Japanese evidently tried
to draw Kuropatkin as far south as
possible, holding out as an incentive a
check to the advance Of Oku's main
army.
Meantime Oku swung sharply to the
eastward to join Kuroki toward Cha
pan Pass, Kuroki at the same time
moving a strong force by the right
flank toward Haicheng.
The main Japanese advance contin-
ues along the main Fengwangcheng-
Liaoyang road, avoiding the Maotien
Pass by detour to the northward. The
advance in all points is being attended
by skirmishing.
Nothing is known here Of the exact
point at which Kuropatkin's main force
is concentrated, though it is believed
that large part of the Liaoyang force
has been moved TO point between
Kinchou and Tatchekiao.
According to a press dispatch from
Tatchekiao to-day large force has
pushed southwark from Tatchekiao
against Oku. While Kuropatkin is thus
extending himself the Japanese, with
great mobility. seem to be trying to
concentrate for the purpose Of striking
the Russians in flank and rear.
NAVAL LOSS A SEVERE BLOW.
Viceroy Alexieff's message tonight,
with a brief dispatch from Rear Ad-
miral Withoeft, naval commander at
Port Arthur, throws little additional
light on the sea fight off Port Arthur.
The Admiralty and the Emperor are
awaiting further details with the same
eagerness as the general public. The
latter to-day for the first time re-
ceived information through the me-
diums of foreign kilograms that fight
has occurred.
The loss of three vessels of the Port
Arthur fleet is admitted to be a severe
blow, especially if not purchased by

greater loss to the Japanese than re-
ported by Vice Admiral Togo.
The meagerness of the report is myS-
tifying the authorities, who continue to
believe there has been a later fight,
which has not been reported.

who, though personally a brave sailor,
never before blew his flag over a
squadron. It is pointed out that he
could not have been forced to get out
of Port Arthur, as the situation there
is not yet by any means desperate. If
he fought his way back through the
investing fleet 1t was because one Of
his patched-up ships had broken down
or for some other urgent reason. If
he arrived at the outer harbor at night
he probably did not want to go into the
inner roadstead, because the narrow
ness of the channel made night naviga-
tion dangerous or, possibly, because
one of his ships stranded at the en-
trance of the channel. Nothing else
could account for his remaining in the
outer roadstead, where he would be ex-
posed to the attack of the Japanese
torpedo boats at night.
SKRYDLOFF MAY BE RAIDING.
There is belief that the Vladivo-
stok squadron put to sea on Saturday
and is likely to be next heard of in
the Korean Straits. The Associated
Press has received a curious dispatch
from a Russian correspondent at Vlad-
ivostok, who took pains to say that
Vice Admiral Skrydloff's squadron
probably would be unable to go out
again for weeks, as the ships had to
go into drydock for the purpose of
thoroughly overhauling their boilers
and cleaning their hulls, preparatory
to putting to sea to meet the Baltic
squadron. The dispatch added that
some of the torpedo boats had been
battered by storm during the last ex-
pedition to the Japanese coast. In con-
clusion, the. correspondent saws that
nothing has been heard of Vice Ad-
miral Kamimura'S squadron.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-By order
of Cardinal Gibbons, who is one of the
most bitter denouncers Of divorce in
the Catholic church, Roberta A. Dab

Father Carroll was bribed by a sum of

HOUSTON, Tex, June 27.-Mrs.
Julia Rogers, a comely young married
woman, appeared before Justice of the
Peace Matthews to-day with face
that bore evidence of intense physical
suffering. To the magistrate she ex-
hibited proof of inhuman cruelties
heaped upon her last night by her hus-
band, Monroe Rogers. The story she
told would have done ample justice to
the torture chambers of the dark
ages. The jealousy of her husband,
which, she claims, was without foun-
dation, is responsible.
With eyes streaming with tears, Mrs.
Rogers exhibited her arms, upon
which were frightful burns, arranged
so as to distinctly form the letters of
mans name, and he the one who
the jealous husband believed had in
vaded his home. With his wife gagged,
bound and hung UP by the feet, the
jealous husband took his time at heat
ing irons and branding the flesh of the
helpless woman. After completing his
f1endish work he left her in her sus-
pended position, but removed the gags
that she might cry for help.
In places the burns reached to the
bone and nothing but death viii erask

atrocity he was about to perpetrate.
He procured a quantity of rope, en-

feet and then gagged her. Removing
her clothing, he suspended her by the
feet with a rope looped through the
transom of a door. He then lighted

inches long. He held the file over the
oil blaze until it was red hot and be-
gan burning the fiery letters. Smoke
and the fumes of burning flesh filled

shoulder and wrote down the arm to

The letters were not small, being
two to three inches in size, and the

would stop and reheat the instrument.
