AWAITING NEXT MOVE.
Russians Do Not Know What the
Japanese Will Do.

st. Petersburg, March 3.-Since the
disappearance of the Japanese fleet
from before Port Arthur the Russian
authorities have been awaiting anx-
iously for the next move of the Japa-
nese ON the sea. There is an inclina-
ton here to believe that the Japanese
have been discouraged by the failure
of their attacks and perhaps losses
they have not announced.
1t is evident even from the meager
information regarding the Russian dis
positions in Northern Korea, that the
plan for checking the Japanese land
advance is perfected and that heavy
reserves are. being brought up to the
Yalu river.
Every energy of the authorities is
now directed to prevent blockade on
the Siberian Railroad. Twenty new
sidngs, each of 1900 feet, are being
erected. Owing to the heavy movement
of rolling stock carrying reinforce
ments. war munitions and commits
sariat stores eastward, there is great
danger that in bringing back the empty
cars the whole lines may be stopped.
With the sidings now building the
authorities hope to be able to keep the
line clear and to send eleven trains IN
each direction daily.

fully that he was violating state laws.
President Smith also testified that
Reed Smoot had to get the consent

MISSOURI COLLiDES

The Latter Vessel Has Her Port Pro-
peIler Damaged.
Washington, March 3.-Rear Admiral
Barker cabled the Navy Department
from Guantanamo under yesterdays
date as follows:
ION making passage from Guantana-
mo to Pensacola, Fla, the Missouri's
steam steering gear became disabled,
and she collided with the Illinois, dam
aging the port propeller of the latter,
but with slight injury to herself. The
Illinois has been ordered to the navy
yard at New York to. have her pro-
peller replaced"
Beyond this information the officials
of the bureau of navigation state they
have nothing. AS is the usual course
of procedure in such cases, the admiral
in command will appoint court of
inquiry to fix the responsibility. 1t is
not believed at the department that
the damage to the Illinois is very SER
ious, or that it VIII take any consid-
cradle length of tifh be to make the nee
essary repairs. Should these be COM
pleted without much delay the IL
linois will accompany the squadron TO
European waters. as originally plan
ned.
The accident to the Illinois is de-
plored all the more because by order
ing her to New York. the men will
be deprived of their target practice,
and thus be prevented from securing
their proper rating.

Some Time-VariOus Reports from
the Far East~-Japan Rules as Mis-

of Port Arthur Is Looked for.
London, March 4.-The Far Eastern
news published this morning consists
chiefly of more or less reliable reports
of Japanese military movements, and
the general idea among correspondents
appears to be that no important lal.,.
battle is expected before the end of
March
A dispatch to the Daily Express
from Chemulpo, dated March 2, says
that 1900 Japanese troops have landed
at Chinampo and gone to Ping Yang.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph asserts that three sep
arate Japanese armies have landed in
Korea, and the Paris edition of the New
York Herald publishes a report from
Che Foo to the effect that six Japa-
nese cruisers, escorting ten transports,
have been seen steaming in the direc-
ton of the gulf of Lao Tung.
Cabling from Che Foo, under date
of March 8, a correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says that although
Japan has lost small cruiser, and
that the machienry of two of her war
ships has been damaged, these prob
ably have been fully repaired, and in
any event, Japan has complete COM
mand of the sea and will effectually
isolate Port Arthur. He anticipates
the early renewal of naval movements.

AN EGYPTIAN CUTTER.

Port Said, Egypt, March S.-As a re-
suit of a collision between a Russian
torpedo boat and an Egyptian revenue
cutter at Kantara, in the canal, the
cutter was sunk. There were no cas-
ualties. The Russians stood by and
saved the crew. The canal will be
blocked for at least twenty-four hours.
Three of the four Russian torpedo
boats which returned here yesterday,
after having sailed ostensibly for AL
sHers. were considerably weather
beaten. They were refused an addi-
tional supply of coal and ordered to
leave port.
The Russian ships at Port Said and

Ter, of counsel for. the protestants, was
directing his questions to ascertain
how the church regarded polygamous
cohabitation. Mr.. Smith said it was
realized that such cohabitation was
contrary to the law, and he went fur
Their to say that the manifesto had
left him and others with plural fam
lilies in the unfortunate situation of
being compelled to defy the law or
desert their families. For himself, he
said. he had preferred to take chances
with the law" rather than to disgrace
himself and degrade his family by
abandoning his wives and the chill
dren they had borne him. He admit
ted that he had had children by all
of his five wives since the manifesto,
and said he had acknowledged them
openly without interference or disturb
ance from the people of Utah, whom
he characterized as liberal and broad
minded.
The defense will take the witness
President Smiths statement was
brought out by Mr.. Tayler's ques-
ton:

contrary TO the rules of the church"
IL Did Not Cease.
Mr.. Smith spoke with great feeling
and directness. saying:
I'm regard to the status of polygamy
at the time of ,the manifesto, want
to say that after the hearing before
the master of chancery / understood
that we should abstain from relations
with our plural families, and that
rule was observed up 70 the time the

the only prohibition was that plural

LEAVING YIN K0W.
Fears That the Japanese Will Soon
Take the City.


Take the City.
Yin Kow, March S.-The Russo
Chinese Bank is closing, preparatory
to removing to Mukden. Women and
children are preparing to leave Yin
Kow in anticipation of the arrival of
a Japanese fleet, which is expected
when the river opens, probably a fort
night hence.
On account of the impossibility OF
defending the coast at Yin Kow until
such time as a thaw permits the con-
struction of entertainments and forts,
the Russians have prepared to retire
up the main railroad line. There are
practically no defenses here, and al
though the shifting and reshifting of
troops and artillery to the small forts
at the mouth of the Lao river has
the appearance of an intention to de-
fend Yin Kow, the military authorities
depend upon an inland engagement to
put stop to the Japanese advance.
AS far as is yet known the only
plans decided upon are, first, that Gem
Kuropatkin's headquarters are to be
at Mukden, Viceroy Alexieff proposes
to remain at Mukden indefinitely, as
that city is the center of the Chinese
administration, and has a viceroyal
bureau; second, that the plain west
of Tashihchiao, which is almost i'm
possible of defense, will be held if
possible, on account of the railroad
connecting with Port Arthur; third,
Hai-Ching and Lao Yang are the ex-
IRENE limits to which troops will be
withdrawn, on account of the exposure
of the railroad at these points
That the japanese will arrive before
a thaw permits the construction of
defenses is thought here to be practi-
cally certain. 1t would appear also
that the authorities expect Port Ar
thur to be besieged.

THE FIGHT BETWEEN
WHITES AND BLACKS.
The Trouble Is Described by One of
the wounded Negroes.

the wounded Negroes.
Fort Smith, Ark, March BIN ad-
dition to John Hopper. ]. C. Butler
and c.. A. Blevins, white men, Walter
Jackson, negro. was killed in a con-
hict between whites and blacks at
Bokoshe, Indian Territory. Wednesday
evening.
William Price one Of the colored
men shot, arrived in this city to-day
and is now at the hospital. He says
that on Tuesday negroes were order
ed out of the camp and went. They
returned Wednesday, armed and ready
to resist an attack They were stand
ing in a group on the depot platform,
awaiting the arrival of train, seven
teen in number, when one of the white
men who was killed. without any
warning, shot at Jackson, who return
ed the fire, and both men dropped dead
about the same time.
Both whites and blacks began shoot
ing, the latter scattering in all direc-
lions and seeking places of safety.
Their flight put a stop to the conflict.
Price says many were wounded.
The negroes were employed on the
Midland Valley Railroad. and their
presence was objected to by the white
laborers. Everything is now quiet,
though there is an under-current of
excitement which may cause further
bloodshed If the negroes do not leave.
A party of negroes who took part
in the shooting arrived here this aft
ernoon and the police, under instruc-
tions from Indian Territory officials,
are rounding them up. Two have al
ready been placed under arrest.
