ATTACKS PAPERS
Mormon Smith Yesterday Pitched Into His Many
 Critics.

Salt Lake City, April 1O.-Apostle Hyrum Mack Smith, son of President Joseph F. Smith, attacked yesterday at the Mormon conferences the critics of the church and especially newspa- per writers and said President Roose- welt was obliged to have a guard when he travelled because of the libelous statements and cartoons aimed at him in the newspapers. Apostle Smith said further:
 "In President Roosevelt we have q friend and he has friends among the latter day saints. And we will be true to him and true to old glory because we are true people. President Roosevelt will give us a square deal. We will do all we can to sustain Presl- dent Roosevelt, for we are true to him and we will demonstrate it in the fu- ture as we have in the past"

WORK OF CHINESE BANDITS.

Harbin. Manchuria, April 1O.-InfOr- nation received at the Russian head quarters seems definitely to establish the fact that only Chinese bandits un- der the lead of Japanese officers. to- gether with some Japanese cavalry, are operating westward toward Tsitsi- har, their object evidently being to raid the railroad communications. There is. however, a real turning movement eastward of Kirin said to be under the command of General Oku. The roads have grown desper- ately bad. On the fiat ground there are seas of mud. Japanese prOclama- tiOns have been issued giving the state of the roads as an excuse for the date of their entry into Harbin having been changed from April 10 to April 20

sky's chances, but they are all based on the theory that the whole squadron has reached the China sea. The Novoe Vremya highly comments the admiral for having safely accomplished the diff ficult feat of bringing the squadron through, declaring the die is now cast. The Bourse Gazette manifests mdis- guised pleasure at the scare in British shipping circles and the furry in in surance rates produced by the sudden appearance of the Russian squadron off Singapore after the British had convinced themselves that the squadron would never go to the far east.
 Japan says the BOurse Gazette, ''now stands to lose the mastery of the sea. together with the fruits of all her successes on land"
 Other papers express doubt as to whether sea fight is imminent, ex- pressing the opinion that Rojestyensky is likely to await Rear Admiral Ne bogatoff and that Admiral Togo will retire closer to his base before accept ing battle. {, Strict orders have been issued to the officers on duty at the admiralty moi to make public any portion of the long report which arrived here yesterday from Singapore.

 Bobcat, Then Ragged . Lion.
 Apropos of the widespread fame of John Golf, the Roosevelt hunting guide." comes the story of a recent ex- perience in which the two young sons of the famous pountaineer were the heroes, says dispatch from Glenwood Springs, Colo. Sent out by their father to look up stray stock, they returned with a live bobcat and dead noun tain lion.
 The boys. whose ages are eleven and fourteen. heard that a prize had been offered for a live bobcat- They took two of their fathers dogs and soon had n large cat at bay in shallow cave. They roped the cat and dragged 1t to a pole cage they had built. Here the an imal made hot fight, clawing and bit ing both boys and the dog before 1t was caged.
 Leaving the cat to be brought in by wagon, they started for home, when their dogs treed a large mountain lion. The elder boy had a rifle and brought the beast down at the first shot.
