Lawlessness.
rom the New York Tribune.

There is no point at which a community
can safely tolerate lawlessness, for law
lessness is habit of mind and becomes a
trait of character Once established, the
obligation of order and obedience is no
longer recognized. Peace and respect for
the rights of others depend altogether on
lack of incentive to violence. This is the
danger threatening our whole American So
ciety. We are raising up people without
respect for law because it is law and the
result is that wherever that feeling prevails
law is obeyed only just so long as popular
wish runs with its requirements rather than
with riot and anarchy.

Convenient "Religion."

From the Baltimore. American. - -.
The Mormon Church. from the evidence of
its head is certainly one of the most ac-
commodating of religions. The doctrines
are according to their claim founded on
direct revelation, but it is optional with
the followers of the church to obey them
at the dictates of interest, convenience or
expediency and the head states, as mere
matter of fact, that he himself obeys his
conscience in violating what he believes to
be the laws of God and man.. 5000

Reason Against Polygamy.
From the Philadelphia Record

Z
Deeply considering the twenty one boys
and twenty-one girls in his fve-wived fam
lily, Apostle Smith ought to see that in any
division of manageable persons on the
polygamous plan there would not be girls
enough to supply the demand. Could there
be a stronger argument for monogamy than
the equality of natural supply of the sexes?

WAR INEVITABLE
AND IMMEDIATE
Negotiations Between Two Nations
Have Passed Diplomatic Stage.
RUSSIA MASSING HER TROOPS
Special Dispatches From Toxic Say
Situation Is Very Warlike and
That Japan Has No Idea of
Sending UItimatum.

Pekin, Jan. 11.-Predictions in the
native press that a war is inevitable
and immediate and that China will
certainly be involved are causing great
uneasiness.
Meny Chinese fear a repetition of
the scene of pillage and murder which
made the year 1900 memorable.
Numbers of the employees on the
railroad between New Chwang and
Shan Hal Kwan have deserted their
posts, thinking that the country ira
versed by the railroad will surely be
the scene of the fighting.
Reports from Manchuria are to the
effect that there is great military &C.
tivity there. The railroads are bring
ing troops from Russia, and the WON
en- and children at Port Arthur and
New Chwang are preparing to leave
The Russian general at New Chwane
has been called to Port Arthur fol
service. Every steamer for japan is
carrying the Japanese from north
China who belong to the reserves.
The Japanese censorship of military
news gives opportunity for all kinds Of
rumors here, one of which is that Jap
anese troops have been landed at Flu
san, Corea. AS cable communication
with Corea is through Japan, it is i'm
possible to obtain reliable news.

Negotiations Between Japan and
Russia Are Ended.
London, Jan. 1~1.-Special dispatches
from Toxic printed in this mornings
papers are very warlike, but add lit
tie or nothing to the knowledge of the
situation. They reiterate that Japan
has no idea of sending an ultimatum
to Russia.
Anxiety is apparently felt in Toxic
for the cruisers Niasin and Kasage,
which left Genoa Sunday, and in o
nection with the departure with which
the Genoa correspondent of the Daily
Mail this morning gives a curious
story to the effect that an iron bar was
found inside the ammunition hold of
the Niasin, placed in such a position
that it short-circuited the electrical ap-
paratus, with, it is suggested, the
object of destroying the vessel, al
though there is no evidence to show
that it's being there was not accidental.
No serious damage was done.
Seoul dispatches report the arrival
of additional Russian and Italian ma
rines there.
Appeal Fol Protection.
The Daily Mails Toxic correspondent
asserts that the negotiations between
Russia and Japan have passed beyond
diplomacy and states that several Co.
ear officials have appealed to the
American legation at Seoul for protec-
ton, but that Minister Allen upbraided
them for thinking of their personal
safety at such a juncture.

NAGEL'S FATAL ADMISSION
The Conductor of the Rock Island

They ColIided With.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 9.-Conductor Ma
gel, of the west-bound Rock Island ex-
press which was wrecked heal Will
lard, Tuesday, when II persons were
killed and 80 injured, has admitted, in
a deposition made from his bed in a
local hospital, that he and Engineer
Benjamin had orders to wait for the
freight with which they collided. Con-
ductor Nagel said:
1--WE had orders to wait for a special
stock train at Valencia until 1888 and
to pass another stock train at Willard.
We were late and passed through VAL
encia at l a. MN, and no stock train
was in sight. At Willard we saw a
| stock train standing on the sidetrack
and made no stop. l supposed the en-
gineer thought that the two trains had
been combined.
81 could not see the number of the
engine on the sidetrack on account of
the steam, and because we were rum
ming so fast. We were going 90 miles
an hour. Engineer Benjamin and

"Of course, wars involve loss of life and
property, and the inevitable penalty of
sorrow to many h~earts"-here the stern
face softened lightly-"but it brings its
reward in a renewed and vigorous
manhood. And it is my belief wal will
continue as long as this world whirls."
Gen. Chaffee, like Gen. Young, whom
he succeeds, has run the gamut from
private in the ranks to the highest mil
itary rank in the army. He was born
in Ashtabula county, O. At the age Of
IS he enlisted at Warren, O., as a pri-
vate in the Sixth United States regular
cavalry, and served through the civil
a From 1865 to 1896 he was on the
western frontier fighting Indians, and
the following year was in charge of the
Fort Leavenworth training school. At
terward he was in command of the cav
airy training school at Fort Riley, and
in May, 1898, he started for Cuba. Since
the Spanish wal he has been with the
American forces in China and the Phil
ippines.
Gen. Geo. L. Gillespie, who has been
since May, 1901, chief of engineers,
succeeds Gen. Chaffee as assistant chief
of staff with the rank of ma~jor-gener-
al. This is the first time that an en-
gineer officer has been in the line of
supreme command Of the army in SC
years, Gen. McComb being the last Of
ticer in that branch of the service to
occupy such a position.

MAKES A FULL CONFESSION.
HiGhwayman S%hOckIey Declares He

Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 11.-John
M. Schockley Sunday made a full con.
fession of the murder of Motorman
Gleason and Conductor Brighton, who
were shot and killed by a lone high
wayman who attempted to rob them
in the car late Wednesday night. In
his confession Shockley declares he
had no intention of killing his victims,
but they put up such a vigorous fight
when he attempted to rob them that
he was forced to shoot them in self
defense. After the tragedy, he says,
he contemplated suicide, but his nerve
failed him when he put his pistol to
his head.
Shockley says he is heir to consid.
cradle property and he wants to sign
this over, without reserve, to aid the
families of his victims. He says his
parents live in Maries county, Mis-
souri,.

Tugs Arrive at Seattle With Those
Rescued From the Clallam.
Seattle, Wash, Jan. 10.-A report to
the Times from Port Townsend says:
The tug Sea Lion arrived here at nine
o'clock bringing in the first news Of
the loss of the steamer Clallam in the
straits early Saturday morning. The
Sea Lion brought "a survivors. The
tug Richard Holyoke arrived at 1880
o'clock with four additional survivors.
Owing to the high southwesterly gale
and heavy sea the Clallam became UNI
manageable Friday afternoon, when off
Discovery island. Heavy "a broke
the lights and the vessel began to fill.
All the women passengers were
placed in three boats which capsized
alongside and all were lost. AS a re-
suit of the Geographic advices from
Victoria from which place the Clal-
lam's predicament was seen, the tug
Richard Holyoke was dispatched from
Port Townsend. She got a hawser
aboard the Clallam and started to tow
her into shelter. Owing to the high
wind Capt. Roberts of the Clallam was
unable to inform Capt. Hall of the
Holyoke of the condition of the Clal-
lam. About one o'clock the tug Sea
Lion, which had been sent to aid the
vessel, spoke the Clallam and learned
that she was laundering and steamed
ahead and notified the Holyoke, which
cut her hawser and assisted the Sea
Lion in rescuing the passengers.

HERO OF FIVE WARS
Lieut.. Gen. Adna K. Chaffee Is Now
Chief of Staff.

He Says ''Battles VIII Always Be
and When They Are No More

VIII DeteriOrate."

Washington, Jan. 10.-With the re-
tirement of Gen. Young, Gen. Adna R,
Chaffee becomes Northumberland and
the head of the general staff of the
United States army. He has been NOM
mated by the president to the senate
for the rank of acknowledgement.
Gen. Chaffee is the hero of five wars.
Gray and grizzled by more than 40
years in the service, and now in his
sixtieth year, Gen. Chaffee is a strong
type of the American soldier who rises
from the ranks by sheer force and
ability to command.
"The finest soldier in the United
States army" is the admiring estimate
of his brother officers place upon him.
Gen. Chaffee holds strong and clear
opinions. "An occasional fight is a
good thing for a nation" was his view
of what Sherman thought Vas hell
1t strengthens the race; puts virility in
it; makes men, real men, the kind OF
men you feel you can depend upon
! when there's trouble in the air.

Despite the early ~hour-4:30 a. NJ
many people gathered ashore to see
the warships leave and to give a last

darkness the brilliantly lighted ships
could be clearly seen. The Italian
sailors on board the departing ships
exchanged loud salutations with their
countrymen on the docks or OIL the
steamers anchored near them.
The Kasaga left first. The Niasin
sailed half an hour later, both appar-
emily going in the direction OF Naples,
but no one knows what route they will
take, even the commanders, before
leaving, having acknowledged that
they were in the dark regarding the
instructions contained in their sealed
orders.

Had n Fire The Very First
Night 1t Was Opened.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Sworn testimony
was given, Saturday, that a fire broke
out in the ~Iroquois theater the very
first night that the theater was opened.
This first fire only preceded by a few
weeks the great disaster which resulted
In the loss of hundreds of lives.
The testimony regarding the fact of
the initial blaze was given by John
Bickles, a workman employed on the
construction of the theater. He said:
81 was in the basement the night the
theater opened, in a short passage
southwest of the stage. A heard a loud
report, and flames came over the parti-
lions over my head-the partitions in
the basement under the stage. The par
titions rise from the floor about eight
flames came from another room from
where happened to be. There was a
crowd rushing around the door, and ]
could not see in. | was told it was
some kind of a gas tank that exploded
In the light of this evidence the rec.
ord Of testimony taken to date shows
that there were two previous direct
warning to the Iroquois management
before the catastrophe. Joseph Dough.

that there was a fire on the stage q
