fellowship from Mr.. Cannon by the
bishops, court of Ogden, has resulted In
formal order from the high council
of the Weber stake at Zion, in Utah,
sitting in Ogden, accommodating
Mr.. Cannon from the church. The
action was based on editorials written
by Editor Cannon assailing the policy
of the higher authorities of the church.
Mr.. Cannon admitted the authorship
Of the editorials complained of and
insisted that he should be permitted
to prove the truth of his assertions
which he had made. This point the
ecclesiastical court declined to concede
and the order of disfellowship and ex-
communication followed.
Coincident with the excommunica-
ton of Editor Cannon, was the filing OF
charges against Charles A. Smurth-
waite, merchant Of Ogden and Nor
mon Of influence, summoning him be-
fore the bishops, court to answer for al
legged rebelhous utterances against
the authorities of the church, and par
ticulary against President Joseph +.
Smith. Smurthwaite, basing his &C.
ton upon the Cannon case had ad-
dressed to his bishop an appeal for
free speech, demanding also that the
church retire from political domino
ton Of the state and from CONNER
cialism, demanding an account at the
next general conference in April for
all the church moneys, demanding an
accounting Of the property of Presi-
dent Smith since he became president,
and demanding also that members Of
the church obey the laws Of the land.

KuEopatkin Keeps St. Petersburg
Guessing as to True Situation.
CANNOT DISPUTE TOKIOS FIGURES.
War Council HAS Decided to Com
duct n "Last Ditch" Campaign
. Two Generals Blamed for
Russian Defeat.

st. Petersburg, March 15i-According
to the information received by the war
ONCE tho remnants Of Gen. Kuropat-
kin's army have made good their re-
treat and are now out Of The immediate
danger Of q new turning movement
north Of Tie pass. The Japanese are
reported to 10 completely exhausted
by their long, hard fight and are COM
PEELED to rest and undertake the tasks
Of burying their dead and looking after
their wounded, prisoners and plumber.
Tho war Office admits, however. that
Kuropatkin has not furnished specific
information as to the whereabouts OF
Gen. Kawamura who has been reported
to be northeast of Tie pass or Of the
Japanese columns reported to he push
ing north by forced marches west OF
the railroad. Kuropatkin has also left
the war Office In the dark In regard to
the number of prisoners captured by
the Japanese, having made no detailed
report about the separate units. There
fure the general staff Is in no position
To contradict the Toxic dispatches de-
failing the losses. lg
While Kuropatkin has assumed full
responsibility for accepting a battle at
Mukden he has complained to the en-
peror that his plans miscarried largely
through the failure Of two generals
whose names cannot be learned, to ex>
ecute his orders. He also throws blame
one some Of the troops which failed to
respond properly at the critical mo-
ment. '. .u
The war council held at Tsarskoe-
Selo at which War Minister Sakharoff,
Gen. Dragomiroff and others were pres
emit is understood to have decided the
question Of continuing the war In the
affirmative. Ways and means were dis
cussed but decision on some points II
Is understood was reserved. The ques-
ton Of Kuropatkin's successor was also
dicussed but the emperor has made no
final decision. Grand Duke Nicholaae-
witch, second cousin Of the emperor
and inspector general Of cavalry, Is
again mentioned and Gen. Gripenberg
is said to be a candidate together with
Gen. Grodekofi but the weight Of opin-
ion Of the emperor's advisers now favor

Of KIeff, who formerly was Gen. Drag.

HEROES AT FATAL FIRE.


New York, March 15.-At least
score of persons were burned to DEATH
several were so badly hurt that they
may die, and 40 others received slight
or hurts, in a fire which practically de-
stroyed a five-stOry tenement house in
Allen street early Tuesday. The fire
had gained great Roadway before 1t
became known to most Of the tenants
and many of them were cut on before
they could make an attempt to save
themselves. Thrilling rescues and dar-
Ing leaps for life marked the fire. Many
persons were carried from the blazing
building. Firemen climbed the walls
on their scaling ladders, braved the
flames and reached the imperilled ten
ants.
Heroes developed at this time. Lieut..
Bonner, son of the former fire chief,
Ascended the now red-hot FIRE escape
I've times. Four times he came down
with woman or child In his arms.
The fifth time he was making for the
street with an unconscious woman
when his strength gave way. He stag
gered and would have fallen to death
had not comradc come to his as
sistance. As Bonner reached fourth
story window on one of his ascents
and dragged little girl from window
where she stood surrounded by flames
she pleaded with, him to leave her on
the escape and 60 in after her little
whom she had carried to the
window. He had fallen unconscious
and was roasting she said. Bonner
jumped through The window, and It
seemed to those below as. II he was
going into furnace. He found the
little boy Just inside the window and
carried him out.
