st. Petersburg. Oct. 5-The mill
tary critics at ST. Petersburg share
in the general uncertainty as to how
to size mp the situation at the front.
If Field Marshal Oyama makes his
anticipated advance they seem to BE
agreed that the strong screening
movement in progress imediately east
of Lao Yang is a feint and that the
attack will be made from the west.
The tactics of the Japanese at Lao
Yang will be repeated and General
Kuroki will try a wide f1anking move
ment from the east. Some critics
ponit out that the conditions at Port
Arthur may force change in Oya-
mas plan of campaign. The cont1n-
ued failure of attacks on the fortress
and the enormous losses sustained
by the besiegers they think may CON-
pei Oyama to dispatch some veteran
troops from the Manchurian army to
General Nodzu's support. as the re-
Inducements arriving at Port Arthur
are mostly reserve men.
Unstinted praise is bestowed On
Lieutenant General Stoessel for the
fierce defense made by the garrison,
which is naturally increasing the
hope that the fortress may hold out
In the meantime General Kuropatkln
is also receiving reinforcements, es-
pecially artillery. Nevertheless all
the experts express doubt whether
Kuropatkin contemplates more than
a passive resistance at Mukden
where they say the typographical 'on
ditions are unfavorable for defense
The critics agree that Tie pass is
better position both for defense and
offense being protected by the Lao
river on the west and offering strong
position on the Kama range on the
east. The general conclusion is that
the Japanese forces will show their
hands in very short time. Evidence
is accommodating chat the Japanese Of
ficers are in touch with bands OF Chi
nese bandits operating on Kuropat-
kin's right flank. and continued re-
ports of agitation among the Chinese
spread by the anti-foreign propagan-
da are increasing.

Judge KimbalI's Views.

The letter of Judge Kimban, referred to

date of October D. 1885, In this letter
Judge Kimball says:
Il desire earnestly and vigorously to pro-
test against the unwarranted and uncalled

the official report of one of your subordi-
mates, the health officer, to the Commits
sioners, which is published In today's Star.
THE Judges of the Police Court are not
subordinates to the health officer, and he
has no more right to cali their action into
question in an official report than he has
that of any other of the judges in the Dis
trict The judges OF the Police Court are
sworn officers and are doing their duty
under their oaths, and in lheir decisions in

PROTECTION OF PUBLIC.
Suggestions Regarding Theaters Ap-
proved by Commissioner MacfarIand.

Commissioner Mcfarland this afternoon
approved a number of recommendations
made by Chief Engineer Belt of the fire de-
partment for the better protection of the
public in case of fire in local theaters
Fire Chief Belt recommends that the
managers of the theaters be informed
that they are required at all times to
keep the automatic skylights and the fire
escapes free from ice and snow and other
distractions, and that before beginning
each performance it should be ascer-
tanned that the skylight is in good work
ing order.
He suggests further that the private fire
men employed by the managers of the
various theaterS must not perform any
duties during performance other than
those assigned them by the Commissioners,
and that all fremen must report on the
stage five minutes before the house is
opened to admit the audience and must re-
main until the house Is empty.
During the performance private fremen
must take position the side of The
stage opposite that on which the fire alarm
box is located, the regular fremen detailed
by the fire department taking their posi-
tons the side of the stage nearest the
fire alarm box. with the workings of which

An inspection ordered by Chief Belt Sat-
urday night after the heavy snow storm

theaters in the city working properly.

CAUSED MILD SENSATION.
Attempt Made to Show That Defendant
Tried to ssFix' the Jury.

zled railroad tickets, early this afternoon

its testimony in chief In winding up their
case in chief Assistant United States Attor-
neys Easily Smith and Keigwin caused a
mild sensation by endeavoring to prove that
the defendant had attempted to fix" the
jury that sat in connection with the first
trial of the cause.
The charge was that Mr.. Gassenheimer

Mrs. Ellis Explains.

Attorney Van Colt asked the witness what
she meant by saying that she believed her
husbands last marriage killed him.
Mrs Ellis ascribed worry and the con-
science, as the cause of her husbands ILL
ness. She said she believed her husband
knew he had broken the laws of the land
and of the church.
James H. Wallis, ST., who diyulged the
Endowment House oathS, was recalled by
Attorney Worthington, representing Mr..
SmOot, and said that he had been telling of
these obligations for several months, per-
haps a year, but he could not remember
any one except Mr.. Owen, who is employed
in gathering testimony for the protestants.
MIR. Wallis corrected his testimony in re-
gard to the oath of vengeance. This oath,
he said, contains nothing concerning ven
geance upon inhabitants of the earth'' but
is pledge to aVenge the blood of the slain
prophets upon the nations of the earth"

HAD A SHORT SESSION
PRO TESTANTS AGAINST SMOOT
NOT READY TO GO ON.

When the Senator Reed Smoot investi-
cation was resumed today George Rey-
nolds, high official of the Mormon
Church. was recalled to correct his testi-
mony, and then Mrs. Fred Ellis of Salt
Lake was sworn. She is the daughter of
Agnes Cannon and married her cousin,
Abram Cannon, when she was nineteen
years old. She testified that she was
Abram Cannon's first plural wife, and
that her husband married Lillian Hamlin
In June, 1896. He was at that time one
of the twelve apostles. Mr. Cannon, ac-
cording to the witness, then had three
wives, and he told her he intended to
marry Lillian Hamlfn. He told her that
Lillian had been engaged to his brother
David, who had died, and she therefore
wanted to marry Abram.
Mrs. Ellis detailed a conversation she
had with her husband. In which she told
him she did not think he could marry LII
liam Hamlin. Mr.. Cannon said he could
marry outside the state: that he woul6
marry her for the time and that she
would be David's wife for eternity. II
told him that if he did marry Lillian"
said the witness, that l could not live
with him when the church or the law
would not recognize his marriage.
Married on the High Seas.
Mrs Ellis told Of the departure of Mr..
Cannon and Miss Hamlin, accompanied by
President Smith, who is said to have per-,
formed the marriage ceremony on the
high seas and of their return.
They returned about July 6, 1896. Mr..
Cannon was i'll and died about three
weeks later. HE confessed on his death

Mrs. Ellis could not testify from her own
knowledge who performed the ceremony be-
tween her husband and Miss Hamlin and
said she had supposed President Smith had
done SO until he testified on the stand here
last spring.
On cross examination Mrs. Ellis was ask
ed why she opposed the marriage between
her husband and Miss Hamlin. She said it
was because she believed the manifesto
prohibited such marriages. She went to the
counsellor to President Smith and asked
him If such marriage explaining the case,

STEAMER SINKS AT SEA
Forty-one Passengers Aboard Escape
in Open Boats.
The Kelvin, From New York, City Foun-
doris In MId-Ocean and Passengers Drift
HeIplessly For Seventeen Days.

San Juan, Porto Rico.-The steam
ship Kelvin, which left New York City
for Montevideo on October s, with a
crew and passengers totaling forty
one, foundered in the open sea two
days after she left this port.
The Kelvin struck heavy weather
from the time she left this port. The
heavy seas finally swamped her and
she filled rapidly. It was impossible
to close her port holes and she took
in great volumes Of water in this way.
When. it was apparent that the
steamer was about to founder the boats
were lowered and everybody taken
aboard. There was plenty of room for
all in them, but because Of the dam
ger Of going below it was impossible
to get as large a supply Of provisions
IS was necessary for SO many people.
For seventeen days the little party
lrifted about helplessly. They en-
iured awful hardships, which were
aggravated by hunger and thirst.
The weather continued rough and
for days there was no telling what
minute a boat would be. overturned.
Nevertheless the boats managed to
keep together, and OIL the seventeenth
lay they were sighted by the schooner
Cordelia Hayes and brought here.

High Thinking and Old Age.

That mental power helps to keep the
body strong and to preserve 1t from
decay cannot be doubted. The longest
lived men and ome have been, as 4
rule. those who have attained great
mental and moral development. They
have lived on a higher plane than
other men, in a serene upper region
above the jar, tumult and fret that
weaken most lives. 1t was at the age
