METHODISTS ADJOURN.
Twenty-third Conference Closes
After 4 Weeks Session.

Chicago, May 29.-The twenty third
delegated quadrennia1 conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church came to an
end today after a session of four weeks.
The conference is considered to have
been one of the most noteworthy since
the days when Methodisn was divided
over the slavery question and has re-
suited in many radical changes in the
laws and polity of the church.
AS result the church will enter upon
the twentieth century a different body
from what it was before the conference
met.
Principal among the important ac-
tions of the conference were the aboli-
tion Of the time limit on paStorateS;
the ratification Of the equal represen-
tatiOn amendment, as proposed by the
Rock River conference, together with
the seating of the provisional delegates;
the adoption of a new constitution sub
ject to approval by the various annual
conferences, including substitution of
the words lay members for the term
'laymen," thus permitting the seating
of women in the general conference:
and the election of two additional mis-
sionary bishops. There was a huge
amount of routine business, which was
pra ctically settled in committee.
The first day of the conference, May
2, saw laymen and preachers given
equal representation. Under the belief
that this would be done, provisional
delegates were on hand, ana were 1Ol-
lowing this action admitted as regular
lay delegates, making the 1900 confer
ence the largest of it's kind in the his
tory of the church.
OF great interest to Methodists was
the abolition unconditional of the five
year limit on pastorates. The confer
ence did not modify paragraph 248 Of
the discipline, which among other
things forbid attendance upon theaters,
circuses and dancing.
Trustees of the American university
at Washington were named and ap-
proved. At 70 o'clock all business was
laid on the table and the usual COM
plimentary resolutions attendant upon
the closing session were adopted. The
venerable Bishop Bowman, now super
annuated, then made a brief address of
parting to the delegates. The minutes
of todays meeting were read and the
roll was called. brief prayer by
Bishop Warren followed, and shortly
before o'clock the general conference
passed into history.
The resolution to censure President
Mckinley for his position on the army

gle is utterly hopeless. Neiher per-
suasion or liberal use of sjambOk can
induce the men to stand.
Steyn is equally emphatic for peace,
but Kruger is still obdurate. The strong
feeling of the Pretoria peace party, how
ever, may at any moment carry the
point.
While the reports of a possible border
conflict between the Beers and the
Portuguese are not credited here, the
uneasiness of local officials continues.
All sorts of sensational rumors are
af1oat. The latest is of the hauling
down Of the Portuguese flag at the
Portuguese consulate in Pretoria. The
Beers are undoubtedly strengthening
their commanders on the border.
According to a special dispatch from
Lorenzo Marques, there are nine hum
dred Beers on the Portuguese border.

SCHLEY'S FLEET.
To Remain in American Waters For
Six Months Yet.

New York, May ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Admiral Schley's fleet will remain in
South American waters for the next six
months at least. The belief that his
ships would have to go to Cape Town
to be dOcked or else come home for that
purpose soon has been met by an order
from the navy department Suspending
for his fleet the regulations which COM
pels the docking of every vessel once
in six months. This period was already
overdue for all three ships of the South
Atlantic station, but as there appears
to be no particular reason for the Chi
cago, the Montgomery or the Winning
ton to develop great speed at the pres
ent time, the urgency Of docking is not
recognized. It is admitted, however, at
the department that in case docking
was imperative in the case of one of the
vessels she would be brought to the
erence to sending her to Cape Town,
warship would be welcome in British
South African waters just now.
Experienced naval officers have been
surprised at the Difference paid to Eng
lish wishes in this respect by all the
great powers In every other war of
recent date the fleets of neutral powers
have swarmed to the vicinity of hes
tilities. At one time it was feared that
the visit of Admiral Schley's little fleet
to Cape Town might induce other mari
time powers to send vessels there, but
according 20 Admiral Schley's friends,
this excuse no longer has any applica-
ton other than to confine the admiral
to South American ports.

STRIKE AT OLEO.
Bill For PrOhibitive Tax Re-
ported FavOrably in Congress.
Measure Will Be Considered
Thursday.

Washington, May 29.-After an ex-
citing contest lasting many months the
advocates of the Grout bill placing an
almost prohibitive tax on oleomargarine
and like imitation buffers, succeeded
today in having that measure favOrably
reported from the house committee on
agriculture. The vote was 10 to in
favor of the bill. The opposition to the
measure had taken form in a substi-
tute, providing additional safeguards
against the fraudulent sale of oleo-
margarine but not going to the extent
of the Grout bill. The vote on the sub
Stitute was first taken and 1t was de-
feated to 9. An effort was then made
to amend the Grout bill by including
within its restrictions old rancid butter,
known as renovated butter
The friends of the Grout bill resisted
all changes and defeated the amend
ment to 9. The bill was then favor
ably acted upon by the following vote:
Yeas-Henry, Baker, Connell, Wright,
Haugen, Dale, Lamb, Conney, Gordon,
NeVille-10.
Bailey (Kan.), Williams (Miss.), Stokes
and Allen-7.
The bill as reported is as follows:
THAT all articles known as oleO-
margarine, butterine, imitation butter
or imitation cheese or any substance in
the semblance of butter or cheese not
the usual product of the dairy and not
made exclusively of pure and unadul
any state or territory and remaining
therein for use, consumption, sale or
storage therein shall upon the arrival
within the limits of such state or terri
tory be subject to the operations and
effect of the laws of such state or terri
tory enacted into the exercise of its
police powers to the same extent and in
the same manner as though such ar
ticles or substances had been produced
in such state or territory and shall not
be exempt therefrom by reason of be-
ing introduced therein in original pack
ages or otherwise; provided, that Moth
ing in this act shall be construed to
permit any state to forbid the manu-
facture or sale of OleOmargarine in a
separate and distinct form and in such
manner as will advise the consumer
of its real character free from colora-
ton or ingredient that causes it to look
like butter. That after the passage Of
the act, the tax upon oleomargarine as
prescribed in section of the act ap-
proved August 2, 1885, and entitled An
upon and regulating the manufacture,
sale, importation and expectation of
OleOmargarine,' shall be One-fourth of
one cent per pound when the same is
not colored in imitation of butter; but
when colored in imitation of butter, the
tax to be paid by the manufacturer
shall be ten cents per pound, to be
levied and collected in accordance with
the provisions of said act-''
There will be majority and minority
reports submitted Thursday. After
their success today, the friends of the
bill expect to urge the matter to speedy
consideration before the house in hope
of securing action in one or both
branches of congress at this session.

WHY He QUIT.
Gen. Hudson Says He Could Not Be
Trammelled.

Gen. J. K. Hudson today made the
following statement TO a State Journal
reporter concerning the matter:
My editorial management of the
Daily Capital ceased yesterday. Mr..
Harold T. Chase succeeds me as editor.
II he is left untrammeled he viii make
clean, independent Republican paper.
He is a gentleman and a scholar, and
in my judgment altogether the ablest
young man IN newspaper work in
Kansas
''As to the cause of my leaving the
Capital 7 do not care to say more than
that there was a difference between
some of the owners of the paper and
myself as to the political policy of the
Capital While I was favorable to sup
porting the state and national tickets
and giving the principles of the Repub-
lican party hearty support, 1 did not
deem a somersault into the arms of the
Albaugh Leland Stanley combine
called for, especially in view of the
very radical opposition the paper had
heretofore given the boss and the ma
chine methods of controlling the party
My editorial of Sunday on the result of
the meeting of the state central com
mlttee was q conservative putting OF
the political situation from my stand
point, and as it was not satisfactory to
Mr. Poperoe, who has a controlling in
terest in the Capital, my further con-
nectien with the paper became impos-
sible.
LAS an editor I have always uttered
my honest convictions on public ques-
ti0ns whether they were popular or not
and 1 have been untrammeled too long
to follow the dictation of inexperiencs d
Adventures in politics and newspaper
work"
There is some talk about you and
Mr.. Keizer going into a new daily
paper scheme"
'Oh. there is nothing in that Mr.
Keizer sold his interest yesterday to
Mr.. POpenoe. Our plans are not en-
tirely formed, but we shall for year
CT more probably engage in some busi-
ness enterprises entirely foreign to
newspaper work or politics"
1T is also rumored that you feel dis
f-lIntled politically, and may leave the
Republican party"
THAT is nonsense, pure and simple.
7 inherited radical Republicanism from
my father, and can never be anything
but n Republican because 1 believe IN
the basic principles and purposes of the
party, and glory in its grand history
ana accomplishments. No indeed, 1 am
a Republican, and expect to work in
whatever line I can for the success of
! TIE party in November"

PLAGUE IN FRISCO.
Serious Legal Complications May De-
lay Its Stamping Out.

San Francisco, May 29.-Legal COM
plications have arisen in the plague
situation and things are very much
mixed The United States circuit court
issued an order restraining the local
board of health and United States
Surgeon Kinyoun from inoculating
Chinese and restraining them from leav-
ing the city. The state board of health
then passed an order asking the city
board of health to quarantine the
Chinese district At a meeting of the
city board called for the purpose of de-
claring an effective quarantine the
question was raised whether or not the
order of the United States court would
not prevent the board from declaring
a quarantine. A reading of the
order convinced the board that
it was very sweeping in it's
effect and it was feared that to de-
clare a quarantine would bring the
board in contempt. After discussing
the matter until midnight the matter
was deferred.

Wales VOTES AYE.
Favors Change of English Law to Per-
nit Marriages of Brother and
Sister-in-LaW.

London, May 29.-In the house of
lords today Lord Strathcona and Mount
Royal moved the second reading of the
colonial bill, permitting the marriage OF
a man and his decreased wife's sister.
Earl Salisbury opposed the BILL which,
he said, would alter the law of inheri-
tance on real property in Great Britain.
The difficulty, he pointed out, rests in
the fact that colonial law was different
from the British law.
The bill passed its second reading
amid cheers, by a vote of 116 to 81. The
minority against the majority bill in
cluded the Marquis of Salisbury and the
Duke of Abercorn.
The majority included the Prince of
Wales, the Duke of Connaught, the
Duke of York, the Duke of Devonshire
and the MARQUIS of Lansdowne.

some mining interests in Missouri. in
which Mr.. Keizer is also interested.
Mr.. Hudson celebrated his sixtieth
birthday anniversary early this month
ard this retirement from the newspaper

State Journal reporter today:
I have been long in this work and
viii now devote my time to business
apart from newspaper work and poll
tics"
Mr.. Keizer said: ''I have other busi-
ness interests to which I will devote
my attention, but I win not engage in
newspaper work. I will take a month
or two for a breathing spell before
engage actively in business again.
1t is rumored that the two men would
Immediately embark in another news
paper enterprise, concerning which
General Hudson said: There is Moth
ing in that story. I am out of the
newspaper business"
Mr.. Keizer said: Il do not know that

emily but General Hudson and myself
have no plans and will make no plans
for the publication of another paper in
Topeka. Such a thought has never en-
tered our minds"
c. L. Holman. the acting business
manager, said today: This change
was made without friction. There will
be no other changes in the office so far
