QUIET IN THE BALKANS.
Russian Officials Believe Peace Will
Prevail.

St. Petersburg, March 1O.-Careful
inquiry concerning the outlook in the
Balkans develops that the prevailing
opinion in government as we'll as in
diplomatic circles is against an out
break of war in the spring, although
the danger is not considered passed.
A perfect understanding exists be-
tween Russia and Austria and besides
the Russian authorities appear to be
completely satisfied regarding the at
titude of Bulgaria.
What assurances the authorities
have concerning Bulgaria are not
known, but they do not tally with
direct information from other sources
representing Bulgaria as mobilizing,
with having her plans perfected for an
invasion of Turkey and as being conf
dent that she can defeat the Turks
single handed.
It is a mistake to imagine that Rus
sia is so engrossed with affairs in the
Far East as to be unable to give atten-
ton to the Balkans. She has care
fully refrained from removing troops
from the vicinity of the Roumanian
frontier and will be prepared, if nee
essary, to assume her share in the
event of war.

The ice which was carried down the
river during the night has formed
gorge near Plymouth which throws the
water back into lower parts of Wilkes
barre. In consequence there are five
feet of water in the streets and it is

The ice is banked thirty-five feet

other outlet the water has spread over
the little town of Forty Fort, which is

Paris, March 1O.-The case of Co

pany came up during the day before
the first chamber of the tribunal of the
Seine, M. Ditto presiding. There are
two cases before the court, the first
seeking to prevent the transfer of the
canal concession to the United States
and the other relative to the right Of
Colombia to hold shares in the COM
pany. The arguments during the day
were upon the first case. Both sides
were represented by strong array of
counsel. The opening argument in be-
half Of Colombia was made by Maitre
CASTOR Brunei. He cited the original
concession requiring the express au-
thorization of Colombia before any
transfer could be valid and asserted
that Panama did not now exist as a
free and Independent state, but was
simply a revolutionary organization.

Burrows Questions the Witness.
Chairman Burrows asked the wit
ness to identify the Book of Mormon
and then. turning to the revelation of
the prophet, Joseph Smith, he asked
specifically in regard to the manner
In which it was revealed and was in
formed that it was revealed to him by
God.
Chairman Burrows asked if polyg-
amy was taught in that book and Mr..
Smith answered that it was emphati-
cally forbidden.
Reading from the book, which is
called the Mormon bible, Chairman
Burrows called attention to the words
of God in reference to David and Sol
ONION and his displeasure because of
the fact that he kept more than one
wife and many concubines.
The chairman asked if that did not
prohibit polygamy and If that was the
case when the law of the Lord changed
In order to permit the practice.
Mr.. Smith said the book or the law
had not been modified and that the
chairman had read only a part of the
chapter.
Mr.. Smith took the book and read a
verse which declared that when the
Lord wanted his seed propagated he
would command it. -
This, the witness declared. justifles
polygamy when a person, is command
ed by the Lord to enter that state. He
said the command comes to individ-
uals as revelations from the Lord.
Senator Dubois asked q number of
questions in regard to the revelations
received by Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Van
Colt, for the defense, objected to the
character of the inquiry. f.

ANxIOUSLY AWAITING NEWS.
Believed In Toxic Naval Battle Has
Taken Place.

Toxic, March 1O.-It is believed here
that there has already been decisive
naval engagement in the vicinity Of
Vladivostok and tidings Of it are snx-
iously awaited. The Japanese fleet did
not, it is said, go to Vladivistok for
the purpose of bombarding the town,
but to locate and attack the armored
cruisers Gromoboi, Rossia, Rurik and
the cruiser Bogatyr, the Russian fleet
stationed there.
1t is understood here that when the
Japanese fleet arrived there on Sun
day last it found the Russian squad
ron absent. If this is true it gave the
Japanese squadron advantages in the
way of avoiding battle close to the in
shore batteries, at the same time put
ting it in a position to prevent the
Russian ships re-entering the harbor.
It is doubted that the Japanese with
drew their entire squadron unless the
location of the enemy had btSBl dis
covered, as it meant surrendering the
advantage of being in a position be-
tween the enemy and the enemy's
base.
There is a. strong possibility that
the Japanese found the Russian ships
in the vicinity of Possiet bay and gave
them battle there The names and the
number of the ships in the Japanese
squadron have been kept secret, but
it was probably sufficiently strong to
divide into two divisions, the one to
guard Vladivostok and the other to
cruise in search of the Russian ships.
The Japanese are quite confident in
the ability of their squadron to sig
nally defeat the Russian ships and
laughingly say that the big Russian
cruisers, which stand unusually high
out of the water, make excellent tar
gets.
