May Be in Touch at Any Moment.


London. April S-The sudden shift
ing of interest in the war from the
land to the sea and the apparently
imminent prospects of fateful bat
tie between the Japanese and Rus
sian squadrons in the China sea, have
revived all the interest here shown
in the earlier developments of the
struggle in the far east. 1t is taken
for granted that Admiral Togo's ships
which were reported to be in the
neighborhood of Singapore in the mid
die of March are still in the vicinity,
and the report from Penang on the
west coast of the Malay peninsula
that IL Japanese ships were seen
steaming ahead of the Russian war
ships is interpreted TO mean that the
former are scouts sent out by Admi-
raj Togo to get in touch with the Rus
SLAMS. and when the object has been
accomplished to retire on the main
body of the Japanese squadron.
Reports about the number of Rus
sian ships vary. but at any rate over
thirty-five battle ships. cruisers, col
liers and torpedo boats have passed
the port of Singapore. The two naval
forces were this afternoon only alb
out fifty miles apart, and may be in
touch at any moment.
st. Petersburg. (4:30 p. m) April
S.-Intense interest was aroused here
today by the announcement that Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's squadron was
passing Singapore but the ad-
mira'ty does not admit that it has
received official confirmation of the
report In fact the officials have OBJ
served unusual reticence for some
time about the movements and inten-
tions of the squadron. All Russia's
hopes of changing the fortune of the
war are staked upon the Issue. and
for some time the admiralty has de-
clared that only peace could inter
vene to prevent a final trial for the
mastery of the sea. Unofficial infor-
nation also indicated that Rojestven-
sky intended to pass through the
straits of Malacc1.
Some doubt is expressed here as
70 whether the Russian squadron has
yet reached a point so far ON the
journey.

Revolt Against Tyranny in Church.

ST. Petersburg, April S.-The re-
volt against the tyranny of church
administration is attracting immense
attention. The clergy are now speak
ing their sentiments quite as openly
on religion as are the liberals in the
political field. The intimate connec-
tion between the movements for the
regeneration of the church and the
reorganization of the state is set
forth in a strong letter published this
morning and ascribed TO high &C.
clesiastic," in which the writer says:
THE church as a living idea is mex
tricably bound up with Russian life,
and when the Russian people realiz-
ed that they could no longer exist
without breaking the shackles of bu-
reaucracy, the church awoke from it's
200 years of lethargy, and its first
murmur was that it was the univer
sal right of every thinking Russian
to do his task with freedom. The wri-
ter halls the day when the church
freed from state control will devote
itself to religion and not to politics"

The removal OF this case to the fed

expense to Rock Island county, which
always attaches to a murder trial. And
then there is the chance of convic-
ton and the following of a death pen
atty in which the sheriff is entitled TO
a large fee. which the county does not
now have to take"
Government JurisdIctIOn.
The jurisdiction is probably held to
be under the United States court on
account of the fact that the alleged
murder took place on the Rock Island
arsenal island. The case will probably
come up for trial about the same time
that it would have here. as the next
term for trial cases in the federal court
is in October The continuance grant
ed here upon motion of the defendants
attorneys would carry IL over in the
