here, as the Russians. are proceeding
deliberately with their plans, and ser
iOus land operations are not expected
for several weeks. However, minor
collisions in northern Corea may oc-
cur at any time. The report of Major
General Plug, that the stacks of a
Japanese cruiser sunk near Chemulpo
have been seen, confirms the theory
that the Japanese are following their
traditional policy of concealing their
losses. A naval expert to Novosti
predicts that Corea will prove mouse
trap for the Japanese and adds: mot
one-hundredth part of the yellow Ma
poleons will get out alive" The
weather at Port Arthur during the last
few days has been much warmer, in

ident Joseph Smith to the stand today
Attorney Worthington resumed the
cross examination for the defense. He
asked if statistics, showing the proper
tion of polygamists in the Mormon

that when the Utah commission was
created in 1882 and undertook to ad-
minister the laws of the territory 12-
600 polygamists were excluded from
voting. LAS the women vote in Utah.
he said, 'and as it requiredtwo women
to one man to form polygamy in a
state, probably the number of males
excluded did not exceed 1000" At
that time the population was about
100000, including about $4,000 Gen
tiles, Dubois said that he wanted eX-
cluded from this total. those not in a
condition to enter the state of polyga-
my. He said that Smiths percentage
included babies and children and he
objected to having Smiths statement
go before the country unchallenged
After a further statement of the
number of polygamists' families in
Utah, Smith read from the interview
he gave a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press in 1902 as follows: In
1890, at the time of President Wood
ruff's manifesto. there were 2,451 such
families. In October, 1899. it was
found that this number had been re-
duced to 1,543, it is now ascertained
that it was still further reduced to 897

Of them are of advanced age. Hiram
Smith, the presidents son, is now %
years old and has wife but is not

apostles In regard to his cousin,
John Henry Smith, Smith said he was
strongly inclined to believe that he
was cohabitating with plural wives"

Il think Mr.. Parker is entirely right

To the policies of the Republican party,
aided by a Providence which has uncOv-
cred large gold supplies
1T might be well TO authorize the re-
demption Of silver dollars in gold, TO
make our legislation symmetrical, but
this authorization would not bring about
any considerable presentation of silver
dollars, l feel sure. They are not avail
able.
If the dollars should be presented,
the circulation of silver certificates
would be reduced. These are the bills
of small denominations. This would
cripple the retail operations of the
country and create prompt demand to
bring the silver back into circulation"
