KEEN INTEREST
IN ST. PETERSBURG.

81 Petersburg. April 19.-The keen
est interest is manifested in the dis
patches referring to the Russian
squadron. The Admiralty claims to
be as much in the dark as the public
concerning Rojestvensky's plans.
The report is not credited that the
feet was seen off Hong Kong as that
IS far OF the route.
The conviction is growing that the
Japanese division is concentrating
dose to Japanese shores and it is
also believed Togo will decline to give
battle in the open sea.
Admiralty officials believe that Ro
jeStyensky has more than an even
chance if the two squadrons line NJ
in an open fight. Ii is believed that
iogos tactics will be night torpedo
attacks in an attempt to scatter the
Russian ships. putting some out OF
action and picking off the damaged
TesSels in daylight.

Toxic, April 19.-Although not re-
ported directly, it is believed that the
Russian Second Pacific squadron con-
tinueS the occupation of Kamranh
Bay or some other port of AMMAN,
where it is expected to remain until
joined by the Third Pacific squadron.
The report that Admiral Rojestvensky
is maintaining a patrol and examin-
ing neutral shipping off Kamranh Bay
increases the irritation toward France
for permitting the use of that port as
base of operations. The Japanese
government continues silent regarding
representations on this subject which
have been made known 10 France
The press. however, continues its agi.
tajiOn against France, demanding Wig

GIRL PER)URER
NOT FRIENDLESS

SPRINGFIELD, H., April 6.-In the
upper house Of the Legislature to-day
an unusual resolution was presented.
1t bears on the case of Miss Inga Han
sen, a former Salvation Army girl Of
Chicago, who recently was found guilty
OF perjury and given an indefinite SEN
tence in the penitentiary. The resolu-
ton requests the Governor to have the
case investigated, and then, If in his
judgment the case warrants it, to pre-
vent Miss Hansen being sent to the
penitentiary and to grant her full
pardon.
Miss Hansen's conviction was the
outgrowth Of a suit for $50 900 damages
brought by her against the Chicago
City Railway Company, in which she
alleged that she had been deprived of
her sight and speech and the use of her
limbs as the result of injuries re-
ceived in a street-car accident She
claimed that her partial recovery was
a miracle wrought by prayer, while the
company alleged that her injuries were
only pretended.
The resolution cites the statement
made some time ago that the railroad
company had expended $50, 900 in Sc
curing the conviction Of the young
woman, and the fact that many per-
Sons believe her innocent The resolu-
ton was made a special order for
Tuesday.

SUSTAIN SMITH
As A PROPHET

SALT LAKE, April 6.-Joseph F.
Smith was sustained as prophet, seer
and revelator by unanimous vote OF the
members of the Mormon church at the
opening session Of the seventy-fifth an
nual conference to-day. When the vote
was taken to sustain the twelve apos-
ties, two hands were raised in dissent.
One of the dissenters arose to explain
his vote, but as not permitted to
speak, President Smith merely stating
that he could present his objections to
the proper authorities. The incident
created a profound sensation. The
members who dissented afterward
stated that they desired to protest
against sustaining such officers OF the
church as live in polygamy.
Among the apostles sustained were
Apostles Taylor and Cowley. In his
testimony before the Senate investigat-
ing committee at Washington, Senator
Smoot stated that an investigation was
being made by the church into the
charges that these two apostles had
taken polygamous wives since the
manifesto and that If the charges were
proven he would not vote to sustain
Taylor and Cowley. Senator Smoot
was not present to-day, nor e Apos-
ties Taylor and Cowley.
