Big Fairs Fate in Balance.

Owing to the small attendance thus
far at the st. Louis Exposition, Treas
ury officials are much interested in
knowing the amount of the first pay
ment on the government loan of
81, 900 900, which is expected to be
made Friday. Today the Fair

Gus moneys received from concessions
and at the gates. OF the total the
government is to receive 40 per cent.
Private estimates put the first payment
at $3.50, 600. Much curiosity is eyinced
as to the exact figures, as they can be
used as a basis for estimating whether
the payments of $500, 600 semi-monthly
on and after July Is, which are manda-
tory. will be forthcoming or whether
Secretary Shaw will be forced TO carry
out his threat and become nominal re-
ceiver for the big show.

Boy and Bull Fight.

In fight with terocious bull, Amos
Shelly, s years old, of Mt. Joy, Pa,
saved his lite on Monday by thrusting
his fingers into the animals eyes as it
made a rush at him. The battle between
the bull and the boy lasted quarter of
an hour, when the boys brother came
to his rescue and drove the bull away
with stones. The boys collar bone was
broken and he was covered with bruises
and wounds. Amos, who is the son of
the late Rev. Abraham G.. Shelly, lives
on farm four miles from the village.
He started for the COW pasture to drive
the cattle to the stable. The bull is
we'll known for its ferocity, and its horns
were cut of. AS the boy was about to
drive the cows out of the field the bull
rushed at him, and before he had time
to get away struck him with his head.
The force of the blow threw Amos
down, and the bull continued to hit
him until he rolled him down a hill
into rayine. The animal followed and
struck the lad time after time, until all
the clothes were torn from its body,
and he was almost buried in the mud.
Amos was almost insensible when he was
rescued by his brother.

withdrawing the ticket and opposing the admission of Utah as a state was raised.
 Judge Powers spoke of Thatcher's candidacy for the senate and said that four days after Thatcher announced himself on a platform opposed to church interference in politics he was deposed as an apostle. After his de- feat an effort was made to bring about an investigation by the legislature on the charge that his defeat was accom- plished by ecclesiastical interference in the election. This effort was unsuc- cessful and, according to the witness, Thatcher was then made to recant his antagonistic view of church interfer- ence.
 The witness also told of two teachers in Mormon churches and schools being deposed from their ecclesiastical au- thority because their political prefer ences were not approved by the church and of Nicol Hood, who wrote litter adversely criticising the election of Reed. Shoot to the senate on the ground that the high church authori- ties should not accept such positions.

THE SENATE.

Washington, April 22-The genef al deficiency appropriation bill occupied most of the senate's time today, but before it was taken up Mir. Gallinger spoke at length on the tariff policy of the republican party. While the read ing of the deficiency bill was in pre- aress, Mir. Cullom delivered a speech O. the Chinese exclusion order He ex- pressed an opinion that there should be explicit Legislation re-enacting the ex- isting exclusion laws, but he opposed the remaining house provision and moved to strike it out.
 Discussing the act of 1902, he said thas the exception made in that law in favor of treaty obligations had reference to the treaty of 1894, which was the only treaty bearing on Chinese immigration then in force. He thought it desirable that there should be a specific re-en- actment of the former Chinese exclu- sion laws. He, therefore, would favor the retention of such portions of the house provision as would accomplish h this result.
 Later MT. Cullom offered an emend- ment 10 strike out the labor portion of the Chinese exclusion provision. MT. Lodge also offered an amendment ex- cluding Chinese and other aliens whose immigration is encouraged by agree ment with any transportation company
 Later Mir. Cullom offered an amend senate was brought to the amendment by the house of the bill for. the gov ernment of the canal zone, and some embarrassment was created by naming Mr. German as democratic conferee on behalf of the senate in place of Mr. Morgan, who is the senior democratic member of the committee on inter- oceanic canals. with the result that both senators declined to serve.

Grosvenor said that no man on the stump ever made a better impression than did Roosevelt in the campaign of 1900. His dignified manner of presiding over the senate and his modesty in his Intercourse with senators was com ::lendable. Then came the crisis in his life. the death of President McKinley. Throughout the last four years Roose- welt has developed. and his utterances have been patriotic and sound. He challenged the democrats to name single instance where Roosevelt had
 dictated to congress, adding: 'I have never known public man, holding a high position who was more amenable to public sentiment than Theodore Roosevelt. As between Roosevelt and Mckinley there has been a less de- termined purpose to carry out his own views by Roosevelt than by Mckinley"
 Four years ago. MT. Grosvenor said he was against Roosevelt for vice president. but today he believed he was more dangerous to the democratic party than any other man in the coun- try. There would be no one cheated when Mir. Roosevelt was nominated at Chicago.

St. Petersburg. April 22.-The follow ing telegram from Admiral Alexieff has been received by the cZar: A ser ies of reconnoissances carried out on the Yalu river has shawn that the Jap anese are concentrating in considerable Q force. It is believed they have about one division north of Wiju. They are also beginning to concentrate troops at Wiju, from which they have moved the Koreans.
 information has reached me that quantities of material, apparently parts of pontoon bridges, are collected Oppo- site the island of Madeikhe. Our scouts have killed two Japanese scouts, one of whom appeared to be an officer.
 ''On our right flank our scouts exc cuted daring reconnoissances extending over several days, on the left bank Of the Yalu, as a result of which it has been Cscertained that there are only a few troops south of the river Poma- kua, but that the Japanese there were in boats. A Russian detachment of two officers and thirty-two men pro- ceeded thither in three boats. The de- tachment, however, was discovered by the emmy and shots wre exchanged. three of our riflemen being killed. Staff Captain Smeizin and eleven riflemen were severely wounded and Lieutenant Pushkin and four men were slightly wounded. The detachment returned to our bank of the river under cover of two of our guns"

THE JAPANESE CAMPAIGN.

Seoul, April 22.-The belief is general here that no attempt will be made to cross the Yalu before the end of the week, by which time, arrangements for concerted Japanese movement and a simultaneous rush toward the river at three distinct points will have been perfected. The second Japanese army is supposed to have left Japan on April 16th and will probably attempt to land near Port Arthur. The other forces will try to land On the Manchurian coast near Taku shan or Ia Tung Kao. part of the general advance will be toward Lia0 Yang. Another division. 16,e00 strong under General Inouye, will be against the Russians at Chiu Tien Chang. -Wiju Is the Japanese base in northern Koea.

KOREAN OPERATIONS.

Seoul. April 22.-Rumors concerning heavy fighting on the Yalu river are still unconfirmed. Beyond admissions concerning constant skirmishing, noth- ing is obtainable from the military au- thorities here. A vague idea prevails that frontal attack is imminent.
 Seoul. April 22.-A special messenger from Gensan brings additional details of the recent Russian attack on Song jin in northeastern Korea. The mes senger reports that the Russians burned the Japanese consulate and the Korean customs warehouse, rifled the telegraph office and finally, it is sup posed, retired to the northward. The presence of the Japanese squadron along the east coast of Korea VIII. 1t is thought, efectuaily stop all future Russian marauding expeditions.

 Several times efforts were made by counsel for the defense to show that his story was based on hearsay, but the attempts were met by an array Of facts taken from signed statements of mem bers of the church, documents which are part of the records of the state and affidavits of persons present at various places where the influence was manifested and other evidence

It is believed that as launches were employed they werS mining the en- trance to the harbor ir order to pre- vent the Japanese from forcing an en- trance. and attempting to destroy the remaining ships.
 It is evident from the closing of the entrance that Viceroy Alexieff has no intention of letting his ships go to sea again even against an inferior force, though this may not be the policy of Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who will de- termine on a plan of operation when he assumes command.

 The paper regards the idea of British mediation as convincing proof of the possible necessity of an Anglo Russian unGeTstandinG adding:
 The friendly mediation of Great Britain for m adjustment e the Russo Japanese conflict, when the proper time arrives will undoubtedly render a double service to Great Britain as well as to Russia
