SOLDIERS BODIES MOVED
AT TH0MAST0N,

Barnesville, Ca April 26.-Thomas-
ton has had one of the most interest
ing incidents of this years Memorial
Day exercises in Georgia, and while
it shows the love of this generation
for the heroes who fought for the
South nearly half a century ago, it
was also an event that brought vivid
ly to mind the sorrow of the old war
days, when death came to almost
every home.
Some time ago the Ladies' Memorial
Association of Thomaston decided tina
1t would be best to disinter the bodies
II the soldiers cemetery, which had
been neglected, and move them to the
Glenwood Cemetery, where proper care
could be taken of the graves and
where exercises could be held each
Memorial Day. In accordance with
this plan, forty of the remains of Con-
federate soldiers have been removed
and reburied by the side of thirteen
other Confederate graves made during
the war. All of these soldiers were
Mississippians. and although they have
been buried there since 1854, the bones
were fairly well preserved. The but

BALTIC FLEET is NOT
READY TO SAIL FOR EAST.

st. Petersburg, April 26.-The report
that the Baltic fleet is to leave Libau
Thursday for the Far East is incor-
rect. Some of the ships are just go
ing into commission, and those being
completed connot be finished before
Luly.
The reports may be attributable to
the fact that some school ships are
going out to train the naval reserves.
The battleship Borodino left the ad-
miralty works to-day for Cronstadt to
receive her armor and heavy guns.
The admiralty is giving earnest con-
sideration to all questions in connec-
tion with the dispatch in July of the
Baltic fleet to the Far East
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, who will
command il, and Rear Admiral Wire
MUS have been in consultation. Ad-
miral Rojestvensky originally favored
the Cape of Good Hope route, but it is
more probable now that colilers and
supply ships, we'll protected. will go by
that route, and that the battleships
and torpedo boats will pass through
the Suez canal. The two divisions
will rendezvous in the Indian ocean.

BACON ON THE TARIFF.
He Does Not Expect Low Duties for
Many Years.

Washington, April 26.--In the Senate
to-day Mr.. Bacon concluded his tariff
speech begun yesterday, continuing to
cite instances in which domestic pur-
chasers of American manufactures are
required to pay higher prices than
purchasers of the same articles resid-
ing in other countries.
MIR. Bacon said he did not expect a
low tariff in the United States for
many years. first. because the revenue
necessities of the country render it
impossible, and. secondly, because the
business affairs of the country are
so adjusted to make it impracticable.
He contended. therefore, only for n
reasonable tariff and for a moditica-
tion os some of the schedules. under
which, he said, were abuses.
After a coloquy with Mr.. Aldrich
regarding tariff revision, Mr.. Bacon
since last summer that no changes
would be undertaken at this session,
saying that the entire programme had
been arranged on the occasion of the
visit of the Rhode Island senator and
half dozen other senators to the
summer home of the President and
| that Congress had not dared to disturb
! the ARRANGEMENT.
| The Senate took a recess until 10
o'clock tomorrow. Mr.. Allison said
that he hoped final adjournment
might be secured Thursday next.

Further Discussion of the Interfer-
ence of the Church.
Washington, April 26.-In the Smoot
investigation before the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections to-
day Mr.. VanCott cross-eXamined Mr..
Thatcher in regard to his views on
church interference in politics. The
witness said he had no fault to find
with the political rule. but in answer
to a question of Senator Dubois as to
the result OF a Mormon official run
ming for a political office in opposition
to the wishes of church authorities, he
said:
ut might result as in my case, but
a free American citizen has the right
to retire from his church office. and
l believe every man who loves his
country would resign such office under
these circumstances"
Mr.. Thatcher defended the church
and the political rule. He insisted that
he knew of no instances where church
consent had been given or refused a
Mormon candidate for political office.
Mr.. Thatcher stated that at the time
he was removed from the apostolate
he was IN line for the presidency of
the church. Continuing. he said: Il
suppose l am the only man Of my
! age in the Mormon Church, who has
no priesthood"
And you were denied the right to
enter the temple?" asked the chair
man.
Yes. sir" He added And I am
glad to say that l am a free Ameri-
can citizen"
Since you were deposed as an apUe'
tle?" Chairman Burrows asked.
Yes. sir
Mr.. Thatcher answered all questions
with the exception OF several by Chair
man Burrows in relation to the cere-
mony which is performed in the en-
dowment house.
Il think l should be excused in re-
gard to that" replied the witness.
"Why?"
Because of the general sacredness
| of the ceremony"
Have you taken any obligation not
to reveal it?"
"I think l have"
Chairman Burrows was authorized
| by the committee to report a resolution
to the Senate requesting per
mission that the committteN be
| allowed to take testimony dur
| ing the recess of Congress. The
purpose is to authorize the committee

LONDON IS AWAITING
MORE NEWS OF THE WAR.

London, April 27.-No further news
from the seat of war has reached Lon
don, and there is no condemnation OF
the reported Japanese reverse on the
Yalu. Stirring news, however, is hour
ly expected, both from the regions of
the Yalu and Vladivostok.
The general opinion that Vice Ad-
miral Togo is waiting for the Vladi-
vostok squadron is confirmed by the
Daily Telegraph's Toxic correspondent,
who says there is no doubt that the
japanese are taking steps to cut off
the retreat of the Vladivostok war
ships.

of an alleged daring scheme of the
Russians to coal the vessels of the
Baltic fleet at sea on the way out and
after their arrival in the Far East.

Under full steam a strong squadron
of Japanese armored cruisers was OBJ
served this morning. making it's way
northward in the Japan sea. 1t is
believed that the vessels are on their
way to attempt to cut off the Russian
squadron that appeared at Won-San
on the east coast of Korea yesterday.
1t is feared, however, that as the Cars
cruisers are superior in speed to those
OF the Mikado, they may escape in
safety to the shelter of Vladivostok.
1t is also stated that the Japanese
have succeeded in Turing the Russians
from protection of the Vladivostok
guns and that there is another Japa-
nese squadron between them and their
retreat. but these are mere rumors."
