After the veto of the bill it failed of
passage despite the urging of the
Deseret News. the recognized organ of
the church. The coming candidacy of
Smoot for the senate was announced
as early as 1902. The witness spoke of
considerable opposition among repub-

Smoots candidacy and frequent ex-
pressions of opinion were made as to
the proprety of sending an apostle of

Salt Lake had issued a statement call

in which he professed not to know that
certain apostles of the church were
still living in polygamous cohabitaton
and proposing to furnish him with the
names and dates to prove that his as

that way. A wrangle in the church
council ensued regarding the Smoot

Smoot positively denied having given

gan for the possession CT the important
position at Simou Cheng, which IS To-
Gated at the j%uncture of the Feng

while a third, under Gen. Oku, movcC
up east OF the railroad from TIA Tthe
kiao, 20 try 10 cut off the Russian
force there from Hal Cheng. If the
latter move is successful, this force will
be crushed. A portion of Gen. KurO-
ki's army at the same time advanced
against Gen. Count Keller's position at
Dkhavuen, east of Liao Yang. trying
the favorite japanese plan of out,lank-
Ing him on the right. Still further
