Young Mormons in Salt Lake City are
being organized into n movement to quit
the church ct the general conference next
month unless President Joseph i. Smith
and tho other leaders cease living IN
poY&amy. Great secrecy is being main
tanned, and it Is impossible to learn just
how far tho movement has gone. One
Of It's promoters declares 800 already
have agreed to tho compact The church
leaders gre seeking to head off tho move
mont 'lhc plan is for tho young men in
the agreement to make formal demand
ut tho conference that the leaders keep,
In spirit and letter. the promises made
to the people OF tho United States to
cease polygamous marriages and TO keep
tho church out OF politics. Those active
IN tho movement tako the ground that
tho young MormonS should assert them
selves on the side of good faith with the
people of tho nation. For MI that, more
Of them will allow tho use OF his name
publicly. Tho reason given is tho fear
tho church authorities will whip those
IN tho agreement back into line separate
ly If any names arc given.

quire the cooperation of the police, MS
the people on the isthmus had no idea Of
sanitary principles, he said, to make the
territory healthful. He estimated the
cost ut 100000. The completion of
the canal, he said, could be accomplished
In eight or nine years.
Answering Mr.. Hepburn, Prof. Burr
said that where men are careless in their
habits on the isthmus the mortality Is
high. He had not heard, he said, that n
thousand men lost their lives for every
mile so far as work has been done, nor
had he ever heard Of graveyard con-
tanning 5000 graves OF laborers, or OF the
fact that of 800 Chinese 500 died in three
months.
Prof. Burr was subjected to many
questions, bearing mostly on the amount
of excavation by the two French COM
panes, and said they had excavated
about 100000 yards, two-thirds Of
which was useful, leaving 1,000,O00,0O0
cubic yards still to be excavated.

ADMIRAL TOGO. later report mas II,
because they lacked ammunition, most
OF 1t having been sent TO Port Arthur.
A woman was killed by n shell ana
several sailors wounded.
Several bombardments of Port Ar
thur and Dalny eliminated In battle
between the Russian torpedo hotilla
and Japanese torpedo boat destroyers
encountered in the Lao THE Shan
strait. One vessel was sunk on each
side, and there must have been con
siderable loss Of life. This was follow
cd by n severe bombardment of the
harbor, In which there was some loss
OF life, two women in the town being
among the victims.
st. Petersburg promptly denied the
story that Port Arthur had been aban-
doned. When one reflects that such
action would necessarily include the
destruction Of the Russian fleet and the
abandonment or removal inland of the
many coast defense guns IN the forts
about the city, not to mention those at
Dalny, and the surrender Of authority
over southern Manchuria to the Jap
ancsc, one can understand how improb-
able was the story.
1t must be conceded that the Rus
slams are making an astonishingly fec
bic display OF ability and rcsouvceful-
ness In meeting the attacks Of Admiral
Togo. Their losses are heavy and they
do not rctaliate upon the enemy in Il
way sufficient even to Gampen his ar
dor. The battle of the torpedo boat
| destroyers showed courage, but from
the Russian and Japanese official re-
| ports 1t Is clear that the Russians
| failed to hold their own against an
| inferior number of Japanese vessels.
| The fighting was close and furious
until the Russians retreated. Other
Japanese torpedo boat destroyers cap
| tured Il Russian destroyer, which sunk
| while being lowed away.
Apparently the gunnery Of the Jap
| Nncse is distinctly more effective than
| that Of the Russians. Capt. Shokiro
| Asai seems to have fought as did
| Wainwright at Santiago, going close
In aud hammcrng away regardless OF
| consequences, though coping with SUI
| rCrior numbers.
The heavy homhardmcnt of the forts
| md the city which the big guns Of the
hatteships carried on for three hours
and half on Thursday was more cf-
| fectivc than such bomhardmcnts usual
| ly are. Admiral Togo having arranged
his cruisers in such q manner that they
| could observe the effect Of each shot
and signal to the battleships to correct
the aim.
