AT Irllutsk we met the first victims
Of the war, women and children, trying
to get back to European Russia. On
our entrance into the semi-darkness
Of the station we were greeted by wall
ing children issuing from the dirt
heaps and baggage errumbering the
floor. Their waXen faces and blood
shot, sleepless eyes would melt a heart
Of stone. The wild, panic stricken
flight of their mothers from Manchuria
after the startling outbreak Of the war
led to great sufferings. They reached
this place after untold hardships, only
to find they will have to wait for weeks
more till there is sufficient train ac-

been pining, sleepless and motionless,
In this fetid atmosphere, because OUT

According to h story which one Of

Christ and John Brown, Faith Defend
ers, Were Lawless.

SIiiiSt anu dSTn pToWH, Fditn DSreHd-
ers, Were Lawless.
Salt Lake City, Utah, March 16.-The
Deseret News, the official organ here
of the Mormon church, prints an article
under the caption, Conscience and
Law" bearing on the acknowledged
violation of the law by many church
leaders, in continuing to observe fam
lily relations with their plural wives.
The article mentions Jesus Christ n
John Brown among those who were VIC
lators of the law. 1--WE are not making
any comparison" the article avs be
tween the tenets for which the martyrs
for different causes bled and died and
the system which now occasions SO
much disturbance In the land. but we
simply claim hat in all these instances
the defenders Of those faiths were law
breakers, and were then doomed for
their offenses, but are now glorified for
their valiant yet lawless deeds.
Similar acts to those of John Brown
are held in honor by millions Of peo-
pie, and yet many of them condemn the
Mormon leaders for avowing that they
would rather break the law than vio-
late the sacred covenants they have en-
tered into with women whom they re-
| gard, III every sense of the word, their
wives for this world and also the world
to come. The very mention of plural
wives SeHdS MANY soou people iuto
spasms of virtuous anger. 1t is not to
be wondered at, considering the trend
of thought and religious training
through centuries"
In conclusion this article says: "The
Mormon principle of eternal marriage,
which In theory when so promulgated
included the plurality of wives, is We
hemently unpopular. The performance
of plural marriages has been discon-
tinued. The family ties formerly formed
remain in many cases. The parties to
them refuse to dissolve them and stand
ready to risk the legal consequences.
That is the situation. What will sound
sense, fair consideration and Christian
charity demand, seeing hat time is
rapidly and peaceably solving the ques,
| tionn .

RUSSIA is FIRM.
AnnihiIation of Japan, Not Mediation,
Is How Russia Proposes to
End the Contest.

Moscow, March 16.-Referring to the
rumors Of mediation between Russia
and Japan, the Novoe Vremya says the
time for mediation has not arrived, and
it may be a long day. Nothing but
the complete overthrow of Japan, her
election from the continent of Asia, and
the humiliation of her pretensions, can
induce Russia to adopt a conciliatory
attitude to the prayers of the Japanese
for peace"
The Novoe vremya adds that while
the Japanese put, forward demands as
to what Russia shall do and obstruct
the natural evolution OF Russia's policy
in the far east, there a be no room
for discussion, mediation or peace.

For a few moments after the shooting
tho audience was on the verge of a panic.
During the third act of the play the
manager, while passing one of the boxes,
heard a man within exclaim: There he

ately afterwards a shot was fired, and two
men ran out Of the box. Edward Cain,
the treasurer of the house, attempted to
stop them, but was knocked down and
one of the men fired at him, but missed.
The two occupants of the box then ran
from the theater and disappeared. The
performers on the stage fled at the first
shot. The police searched in vain for the
men who fired the shots.
