Japanese and Russians Each
 Lost a WarShip
MARAKOFF. IN COMMAND
An Early and Decisive Movement Is Anticipated in COnsequence-The Japanese Have Begun Landing Troops in Korea Farther North.

London, March 5.-Little change in the far eastern situation is reported this morning. It is apparent that the Japanese are busily engaged in trans porting their forces into Korea. and that this work is facilitated by the inactivity of the Russian navy.
 According to the Sevastopol cores pOndent of the Daily Graphic Admiral Skrydloff learned privately from Port Arthur that the Russian battleship Retvizan lies in such a position as to block effectually the exit of battleshiDs from the harbor, passage being prac- ticable only for cruisers.
 The Japanese officer, who has charge of Japans financitl and commercial in- terests in England, declares that his government has been collecting large stores Of Welsh steam coal for years, so that today it has a supply sufficient for the needs of the navy for many years to come.
 According to the Tokio correspondent of the Standard the mikado has sent a personal message to the emperor oi Korea, assuring him that war was de- clared solely with a view to securing a permanent peace. and expressing his sincere wish that the recently con- cluded Japanese-Korean protocol would increase the intimacy between the two countries.
 On the strength Of a statement made by a missionary at Shanghai the cor respondent of the Daily Chronicle sends a doubtful report that twenty eight Japanese sailors have landed al Tengchau. west of Che Foo saying their vessel had been sunk as the re- suit of an engagement with a Russian warship, which also went down.
 No Russians were saved. but 200 Japanese were rescued by Chinese iunks. This action is reported to have occurred between Port Arthur and Mi2o Islands in the Liao Thieshau channel

He called for a copy of the book of the doctrine and cove nants and read portions prescribing the manner of taking more than one wife. It set forth that if one wanted to espouse a second virgin he must do so by obtaining the consent of the first. but if the consent of the first were withheld, he was at liberty to proceed without it. It was also set forth that where the first refuses her consent to share her husband with another wo- man, she would be destroyed" In reply 9 question the witness stated that this meant that she would be des- l troyed by the Lord. He stated that the matter of getting the consent of a wife to marry again might as well be eliminated entirely.

LAPS LET THEM PASS.

Tokio. March At is evident that several vessels laden with coal, pro- visions and other cOntraband articles, have recently effected the passage of Tsuearu strait and have succeeded in reaching VladivOstok. Japan evidently refratned from making special effort to prevent their passage and 1t Is rot impossible that she calmly permitted the delivery of the oOntraband goods, calculating they would prove useful 10 herself later on. The Nlod-Vost7k squadron evidently has been instructed by the Russian government to remain close to the NIadivostok batteries in preference to risking q fight in open seas.

Secretary Stoddard was seen last
 night regarding the Associated Press
 dispatch regarding his resignation.
 Mr Stoddard submitted his resigna-
 tiCn some time ago. He desired its
 acceptance by April 1. He expressed
 relief on the receipt of a telegram
 yesterday afternoon announcing that his request had been compiled with. MT. Stoddard's resignation would
 have been submitted a year ago. but
 about that time a fight which had been
 the most prominent political event in this territory within a
 year was begun and charges against the secretary were lodged with the department. That put an obstacle in the way of his resignation. The
 charges were met, answered, and the answer was satisfactory to the depart ment officials who declared the incl dent closed. A sufficient period having elapsed. MT. Stoddard rendered his resignation.
 Mir. Stoddard will now give his per sonal attention to his extensive mining
 and other affairs, which have necessar- i lily been neglected during the last three years for his official duties.
 Concerning the successor of MT. { Stoddard there is great deal of spec ulation. No less than a half-dozen person in and out of the territory hav- ing been mentioned as his probable successor in the event of his retire
 ment from office. Among them are Territorial Auditor Nichols, Garrett Ryan of Phoenix, George B. Wilcox, clerk of the court at Tombstone, and R. O. Johnson, justice of the peace at Douglas.
