A ARUSStAN BLUFF.
10 British View Of Charges Brought
Against China Alleging Violation
OF Neutrality.

A London dispatch says: The Rus
sian governments note regarding Chi
nese neutrality has not yet reached
the British foreign office
In diplomatic quarters the circular
is regarded as move to forestall
complaints of Russian transgression
of Chinese territory coming from ia
pan, but not as indicating any imme-
diate or serious acton on Russia's
part in the near future. The very
fact that there has been no haste in
presenting the circular to Great Brit
ain might indicate that this is the cor
rect view. =
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minis.
ter, who has not yet received official
notification of the circular, visited
Foreign Secretary LaIsdowne Satur-
day afternoon, and the Associated
Press understands that they discuss
ed the circular Informally.
Minister eIayashi prior to his visit
to Lord Lansdowne said to he Asso-
ciated Press: ..-
"The japanese have not replied to
the innumerable allegations OF
breaches Of neutrality and of inter
national 'law charged b. Russia since
the war, but the Japanese government
probably will reply to this formal
charge"
! Baron Hayashi thought, however,
that 1t was in line with other charges
and similar to "the yellow peril"
scare He said Great Britain, the
United States and Germany all had as
great interest, in China as Russia had
and. being well represented there,
knew from their own agents whether
it was necessary to interfere.

STOESSEL AT NAGASAKl
Vanouished Hero Of Port Arthur Ar
rives on Japanese Soil - Closing
Act Of Great War
" Drama.

The Japanese transport Kamaaaru
from Port Dalny, January IL, with
General Stoessel and others aboard,
arrived at Nagasaki, Japan, Saturday.
Preceded by a few police officers, and
followed by his retinue, General Stoes-
sci slowly wended his way up the
hill to a prettily situated bungalow on
Inasa hill, where he will be quar-
tered.
Half way there some dozens OF Rus
sian officers, finding that their late
chief was arriving, ranged up from all
directions and saluted in respectful
silence. The party then entered the
house.
The closing act of the great drama
caused feeling of sadness which was
not dispelled by the glorious weather,
beautiful surroundings and kind re-
ceptions accorded to the Russians By
the japanese.
French Are Criticized.
A Toxic special says: The French
are SHARPLY criticized for permitting
the ships of the second Pacific squad
ron of the Russian navy to make
prolonged stay at Madagascar. There
fore, the Japanese people and press,
realizing the peculiar position in
which France was placed, were not
disposed to judge her actions too Sc
verely, but The .Asahi recently said:
cit is no longer possible to overlook
the French non-neutrality nor her dis
regard for the obligations of neutral
nation. Coaling the ships OF the sec
ond Pacific squadron in French ports
has eliminated in allowing Rear Ad-
miral Rojestvensky to remain for II
days. awaiting reinforcements, and
in the use of Madagascar as a base
Of operations against the Japanese
feet, now reported in the Indian
ocean. f,-..>
"Such action is nothing less than
hostile, and if France is sincere in her
promises of strict neutrality, the ships
OF the second Pacific squadron ought
long ago to have been sent away or
.disarmed.
Further temporizing for the pur.
pose of rendering assistance to Rus
sian vessels must be considered a Sc.
rious breach of neutrality

POKER FOR GENT1EES.
Defense in smoot investigation Put
Up Versatile Witness, Who Talks
Of Morale OF Mormons.

Testimony intended to prove that
the Mormon morale is of the highest
type and to refute the word Of wit.
nesses who have declared the con.
trary to be true; was offered by coun-
sci for Senator Reed Smoot a. Wash
ington Wednesday. W. ]. McCon-
nell, formerly United States senator
from Idaho, and twice governor OF
his state, and Representative s.. l..

tea in favor of pressing the inTestisa'
tion to a conclusion, and with that
end in view 1t was announced that
beginning Thursday longer sessions cf
the committee will be held.
Both witnesses examined denied
many statements directed against the
Mormon church and It's alleged inter
ferences In political affairs.
Mr.. Mcconnell described his occ"'
patton as former merchant, politician
and lawyer for his friends. He was a
senator of the fifty-frst congress and
was governor OF Idaho from 1898 to
1896 inclusive, serving two success
sive terms. He is member OF the
Presbyterian church.
The witness was asked to describe
the political conditions and took up
early days when he said he had lob
lied before the legislature When the
first effort was made to disfranchlse
the Mormons. He declared that he
was prejudiced against Mormons. ut
that he found that most Of the gen.
tiles were practicing "the science,
which in our country is called poker"
He said he had never known Mormons
to gamble and drink. He followed
this testimony with review OF his
acquaintance with Mormons during
the agitation against the religion in
Idaho. He assisted in bringing about
the repeal of the test oath OF citi-
zenship and afterwards went among
the Mormons on lecture tour. He
had observed, the people, he said, aid
their morals was of high, praise
worthy character.
Senator Knox asked counsel to In.
form him as to what part Of the case
the examination of Mr.. Mcconnell
was relevant. Mr.. Worthington said
he was unable to answer that conun.
drum, but that great mass of IT.
relevant testimony was admitted for
the protestants to which objection
had been made and overruled. He
said the testimony Of Mr.. Mcconnell
was in reply to this and practically
to that of Charles H. Jackson, chair
man of the Idaho democratic COM
mittee, who testified that no candidate
for Office. democratic or republican,
could stand against the Mormon
church.
