The general impression is that the

"The example of fraternity Is not
given in the far east by the mysteri-
cal ENJOYS of the Russian church.
These orthodox missionaries are in
telligent, immoral, keen traders,
ready for every kind of brutality and
every kind of dishonesty towards 9th
er Europeans. On the other hand,
they are easy going IN matters con-
cerning religion, and all they ask of
the Japanese is the right to molest
the French missionaries. If Russia is
victorious she will endeavor to extend
her political influence through the
ministers of her national religion and
she will do so to the great prejudice
of the religious proteges of France

has received, according to an an.
nouncement made here last night, a
message from Viceroy Alexieff asking
to be relieved of the command OF
the Russian land and sea forces in
the far east.

suit of the appointment of the vice

the czar, who has not been in perfect

murder.
Levine went to Droome street to-
night where the Jaffe family lived

arrested was committed on, April g.
Poval was killed with an axe In his
sleep and his legs and arms cut off

ONE RESULT OF WAR.
Paris, April 20.-(London Times)-
The Roman Catholic periodical Les
Paroles Francaise says: "The only
result of the Russo-Japanese war as
yet certain is the ruin of the French
Catholic missions. IL the Russians
turn out victors in the struggle, the
sympathy which binds France to the
empire of the north will not save the
priests who propagate the Roman
Catholic faith, for a violent hatred
has always existed between the Rus
sian popes and the fathers of the
French missions. The scenes which
are daily occurrence between mem
bers of the orthodox and Roman Cath
olic faiths at Jerusalem are the exact
models of scenes illustrating the bis
tory of Christianity in Japan.

ONE WOMAN
CREATED A TEMPORARY
DISTURBANCE IN
CONTINENTAL CONGRESS
Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution.

Washington, D. O., April 19-The
continental congress of the Daughters
of the American Revolution was In q
temporary ferment today when one
woman defied 1t by opposing q resolu-
tion protesting against the retention In
the United States senate of Reed
Smoot, the Mormon elder.
The single dissenter was Mrs. Ida
Hustled Harper, delegate from Califor-
MIA, a newspaper woman, biographer
of Susan b. Anthony. q historian and
traveller. She stood up by herself in
the main aisle to be counted against
"the Daughters of the American Reyo-
luton mixing In things that do not
concern them"
The resolution was offered by Mrs.
Little, state regent of New York and
seconded by the chaplain general, Mrs.
Teunis 8. Hamlin.
"I'd Just like to have chance to
talk to that question" declared Mrs.
Harper. 'I'd tell this congress thing
or two that would surprise these wo-
men" she declared with flashing eyes
but she only counted one no and there
were 300 ayes. So Senator Burrows
of the senate committee on privileges
and elections will get the resolution
against seating any Mormon in the
United States senate.
BY this time the congress was In a
turmoil. Motions were made, votes
taken and delegates were declaring
that they did not know what question
they were voting upon. but they went
right on voting only to demand that
the vote be taken over, and is usually
was.
The annual attempt to break the
power of the national board again fail

for the establishment of O court of ap.

WAGON AxLES
Were Whiskey Kegs and Peddlers
Sold Liquor to Indians.

Sold Liquor to Indians.
(TopelSa, Kas., Capital.)
An entirely new scheme of whiskey
peddling has just been discovered In
the Indian Territory, and it seems to
have been going on for months. The
officers of the district northwest of
Herbert have known for some time
that whiskey was being sold to various
parties, but not until yesterday were
the peddlers caught. They had trav-
eled around the country in an old
wagon drawn by poor span of Indian
ponies and were, presumably, buying
eggs and poultry. They would sell
small bottles Of liquor to farmers and
Indians through the neighborhood and
81 pint was the usual price. The
officers discovered that both axles Of
the old wagon were of iron and very
large. These axles were hollow and
would hold about four gallons each
The peddlers would remove small
bolt and insert a pump and draw the
desired amount Of whiskey.
One of the peddlers admits having
sold whislSey in this way for Ave
months, and has made enough money
to buy farm in Texas. He says he
will sorve his time in jail and then
buy farm.

INJURED BY EXPLOSION.
Four Men Hurt at Ingram LlthIa De-
 pot on Third Avenue.

Four men were injured yesterday morn ing by the explosion of a boiler in the Ingram Lithia Water depot at 2o1s Third avenue. J. N Martin. the plumber in charge of the work, had one leg shat tered by the explosion and he was other wise bruised.
 Frank Farmer, a negro assistant had his right leg broken by the explosion and he also received some other injuries. A. B. Ingram. one of the proprietors of the store, had some serev bruises as a result of the explosion, and Manly Rivis, a boy employed there, was badly shocked and bruised.
 Martin was carried to the Hillman hospital in Lige Loy's ambulance and his injures were given medical attention. The negro was carried to his home on Seventeenth street and Avenue A in the ambulance of Green & Co Martin lives at East Lake. At the hospital last night 1t was stated that he was resting as well as could be expected.
 The boiler was part of a heating plant, and was being tested just after it had been installed. The four people injured were standing near the boiler and 1t seems wonderful that they were not more severely injured.
