Russ and Jap Are Getting Too Close To-
gether for Much Further Delay.
st. Petersburg, March 1.-THE only
piece of important news at this writ
ing from the seat of war is the dis
patch from Port Arthur announcing
a fresh attack on that place by the
japanese fleet. The dispatch contained
no details. Another telegram from
Vladivotok has beenreceived. 1t makes
no mention of fighting and it is as
sumed that all is quiet there.
The reports that the Japanese have
entered Manchuria west of the Yalu
river, and have reached Feng-Huan-
Cheng, on the Picking road, which is
the Russian line of communication to
the Value, cannot be confirmed. If the
information proves true a land engage
ment of some magnitude cannot long
be delayed, as the Russians have a
heavy force south of the line, between
Liao-Yang and Mukden, and they are
also occupying strong positions along
the Yalu. A Japanese column be-
tween them would be in a desperate
strait unless it moved by the flank to
take the Russians on the Yalu in the
rear, and was theoretically supported
by a forward Japanese movement

Witness In the Case Complains of the Fact
Oth Testimony
Washington, March 10.-Several of
ficials of the Mormon church testified
in the Senator Reed Smoot case be-
fore the senate committeeon privileges
and elections. that they had plural
wives and had continued to practice
polygamous cohabitation since the
manifesto of 1890. Smith was re-
called and stood by his statement that
although cohabiting with wives mar
ried before 1890 was the practice, no
plural marriages had been performed
with the church's consent since that
date.
Loren Horner, an ex-bishop, said he
had been prosecuted by Smoot for liv-
ing with and having children by a
woman who was not his wife. He
complained that Smoot had been too
strenuous in the prosecution, h%urrying
his arrest before he had been given
time to arrange his affairs. Nothing
sensational was brought out during
the day.
The prosecution stated that it had
no more witnesses ready to put on
the stand on account of the failure of
several summoned officials of the Nor
mon church to appear. President Jo-
seph +. Smith was asked to use his
influence with the witnesses and prom
ised to get into communication with
them if it was possible to do SO.
While Smith was on the stand he
emphatically denied that the Book Of
Mormon was the Mormon Bible, stat
ing that the King James version Of
the Old and New Testamcnts was the
Mormon Bible.

Captain Hill Tells q Story of the Wal hat
Is New, at Least.
Victoria, b. c., March II. - The
Northern Pacific liner Olympia has ar
rived from Yokohama. Among her
passengers was Captain Hill, who took
the Japanese cruiser Nissihin from
Genoa to Yokohama. Captain Hill says
that when the two japanese cruisers
got through the Suez canal they were
closely followed by the Russian squad
ron. which was evidently trying hard
to keep in close touch with them. The
Aurora Russian), which enjoys the
reputation of being one of the fastest
vessels afioat, attempted to overhaul
the two cruisers, which, however, put
on more steam and ran away from her
with the greatest ease. From the fir
ing I'D done on the Aurora it was evil
dent that she meant business.
In reply to the question as to wheth-
er the gunnery Of the japanese war
ships was due to the presence Of Brit
ish or United States gunners aboard
Captain Hill said most emphatically
that not a white man is employed on
any Japanese warship in any capacity
whatsoever; from the bridge to the
stoker every man is japanese.
