NOT ACROSS THE YALU.
Newchwans Reports That Japs AIRS
Still In Korea.

NeWcnWang reports inat Japs Are
Still In Korea.
Newchwang, April 26.-The Russian
authorities here deny that there have
been any important engagements re-
Gently on the Yalu, but they report the
destruction of a few japanese junks by
the Russian volunteers.
The japanese have not arrived at the
Yalu in force, according to the Russians
in Newchwang, nor have they crossed
the river at any point. The Russian
forces are still in possession of all
points on the west or Manchurian side
of the river, which they occupied orig
inally, and consequently the execution
of the plan of falling back on Feng-
huancheng and Liaoyang, which is at
tributed to General Kuropatkin, the
Russian commander in chief, has not
been begun.
After having been detained for two
weeks and thoroughly examined by the
Russian authorities, the two Japanese
servants who came into port on the
press boat Fawan have been released
They were deported to Chefu.

CANAL PAYMENT.
Government Making Arrangements to
Turn Over $40, OO0, 900.

Washington, April 26.-Payment by
the United States for the Panama ca
nal concessions and property will be
made in a few days, perhaps before
the end of this month. The subject
was discussed at the meeting of the
cabinet, but no decision was necessary
as the arrangements practically have
been completed for the transfer of the
property and the payment of the mon
ely. AT the request of Attorney Gener-
al Knox the war department will des-
ignate a suitable person on the 18TH
mus to receive the property there for
the United States. Had the members
of the canal commission not left Pan
ANA for the United States they would
have taken over the property for the
government Who the agent will be
has not been determined.
1t was expected that the payment
for the canal property would be made
to the new Panama Canal company
through New York banks, but it has
been decided that the payments shall
be made in Paris.
A syndicate of French bankers will
advance the S4O.0O0.O00 necessary to
liquidate the Indebtedness of the Unit
ed States to the canal company. The
money will be handed to the company
by Assistant Attorneys General Day
and Russell, who are in Paris. Tho
syndicate then will draw directly OH
the United States treasury for the full
amount it has advanced. This plan
was adopted as the simplest and most
feasible proposed for the transfer of
the money.
Only few matters Of minor impor-
lance We're considered by the president
and cabinet, and the meeting lasted
less than an hour.

CHURCH IN POLITICS
Senate Committee Confines Its
Investigation Of MOrmOnism.
THATCHER ON THE STAND.
Deposed Apostle Was In Line For
Brigham Youns's Seat When His Po-
liticaI Views Aroused Ire Of First
Presidency.

Washington, April 26-The Smoot
investigation before the senate COM
mittee ON privileges and elections was
opened by Attorney Van Colt for the
defense calling upon Moses Thatcher
to resume the stand.
Mr.. Van Colt Intercepted Mr.. Thatch-
er 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 ques-
ton of Senator Dubois as to the result
of Mormon official running for a po-
litical Office in opposition to the wishes
of the church authorities he said:
ut might result as in my case, but
free American citizen has a right to
retire from his church Office, and be-
lieve every man who loves his country
would resign such Office under these
circumstances"
Mr.. Thatcher defended the church
and the political rule. He admitted,
however, that his views had been mOdi-
fed in regard to the church interfer-
ence, but insisted that he knew of no
instances where church consent had
been given or refused Mormon candi-
date 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. He said he was dropped from
the rolls in April, 1896, and formal ac-
ton was taken by his quorum in No
vember, 1896. Continuing, he said:
Il suppose am the only man of my
age in the Mormon church who has no
priesthood"
And you were denied the right to
enter the templer asked the chairman.
Yes, sir" He said he was denied
entrance to the temple by the door
keeper, at the order of the first presi-
dency, and had never made application
since, and he added:
"And am glad to say that l am a
free American citizen"
"Since you were deposed as an apos-
tle?" Chairman Burrows asked.
Won't DivuIge Sacred Ceremony.
Yes, sir" Mr.. Thatcher discussed
his defeat in politics, speaking frankly
of the popularity of former United
States Senator Rawlins and also of the
church opposition to his own candidacy.
All questions were answered with the
exception of several by Chairman Bur
rows in relation to the ceremony which
is performed in the endowment house.
II 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 itY
II think l have"
"What would be the effect If you
should disclose the nature Of the obli-
CATION or ceremonyT'
"No effect, except upon my con-
science"
No further effort was made to OBJ
tain description of the ceremony, and
Mr.. Thatcher was excused. The hear
ing was adjourned, and the committee
went into executive session.
Chairman Burrows was authorized
to report a resolution to the senate
requesting permission that the com
mittee be allowed to take testimony
during the recess Of congress. The pur-
( pose is to authorize the committee To
j proceed with the investigation in Utah.
