EXPECTED OPPOSITION FAILS.

B0ers Not Yet Ready to stem Lord Rob-
erts Advance.
London, May 9.-Although the Brit
ish expected considerable opposition at
the difficult drift Of the Zand river, the
latest advices from Smaldeel, Orange
Free State, indicate that the federals
are not yet ready to take a determined
stand to stem Lord Roberts advance.
The latter's front indeed is so wide
and overwhelming in numbers that it
Is difficult to see how the Beers can
help being ousted out of Virginia sid
ing as they were out of Smaldeel, even
II they elected to give battle. The
same considerations would probably
affect the situation at Kroonstad. hence
the belief that little real opposition
will be encountered south Of the Vaal.
The repairs to the bridges over the
Vet river and the Vaal are expected to
retard the general march from Small
deel and Fourteen Streams for three
or four days, when General Butler will
also be ready. The general idea is that
Lord Roberts will direct his right on
Harrismith in order to get in touch
with the Natal army coming through
Van Reenen's pass. A dispatch from
Maseru, dated May s, says the Beers
have deserted both Ladybrand and
Ficksburg In panicky condition, ow-
ing to reports that the British had &C.
cupied Zenikal, thus threatening their
retreat to the TranSVaal

LAITY NOT ADMITTED.
Membership in Annual Methodist Confer
ences Is Denied.


Chicago, May SIN the most inter
esting discussion the Methodist gener-
al conference has engaged in since ii
began its sessions at the Auditorium
1t was decided not to provide in the
constitution Of the church for admis.
sion Of laymen in the annual confer
ences, and if they are to be admitted
hereafter 1t will have to be by consti.
tutional change. DIR. Charles j. Little
Of Evanston brought up the matter,
and 1T was promised for while that
sensational proceedings would mark
the business session.
Sitting as lawmaking body, the
general conference began to consider
recommendations for modifying the or
ganic law of the church. The report
OF the commission on organic law APP
pointed four years ago was presented,
and article. by article the document
was taken up. The first ard second
articles. concerning pastoral charges
and quarterly conferences, were APP
proved without debate. Then came arti
Gle 3. which is as follows:
annual conference.-the travelling
preachers shall be organized by the
ences, the sessions of which they are
required to attend"
DR.. G. J. Little, president of Garrett
Biblical institute, obtained the floor
and declared the effect of accepting
this would be to prevent the admission
of laymen to the annual conferences
except by making constitutional
change. That brought new and most
interesting subject before the confer
ence. DR.. Buckly next got the floor.
Every word DR.. Little has uttered
Is absolute truth" declared the ever.
present little editor. "but it should be
understood that it is held by the best
authorities that under the constitution
it is impossible to invest the laymen
with powers in the annual conferences.
l would lay over this article and have
a small committee to consider the sub
ject and report if it would be desira,
BILE to have the constitution changed
to admit the laymen to the annual con-
ferences. / move that a committee of
seven consider this article"
DR.. A. Il. Leonard brought before the
body the whole subject by offering as
a substitute motion that the article
should read that the annual confer.
ences shall be composed Of equal num-
bers of travelling preachers and lay
men, as hereinafter provided" etc.,
But this was too previous" evidently,
for it was laid on the table, and DR..
Buckley's motion remained and the de.
bate continued.
Laymen were heard next, and two Of
them-Locke of Maine and Jacob b.
Graw of New Jersey-argued against
adding still further IN tba nrjvilppeS
Of the laity. Mr.. Locke said the lay
men could wait, and Mr.. Graw de-
clared there was nothing for a laymen
to do in an annual conference, Chief
Justice Charles b. Lore Of Delaware
also opposed admitting the laymen.
DR.. Buckley's motion was then put
to vote, and lost, and the article was
adopted.

STRIKE RIOT IN MARYLAND.
Three Men Severely Injured I'm Battle
with Non-Union Men.

Lanaconing, Nd, May 9.-Rioting
broke out among the miners in the
Georges creek region, which, if con-
tinued, will necessitate the calling out
of the state troops. Three men were
seriously injured.
Twelve hundred miners who had
been engaged to work in the George
Greek mines, while on their way to
the pits, were stopped by large force
Of the union men and the result was a
pitched battle in front of the entrance
to the Ocean mine. James Kenny was
hurled over an embankment fifty feet
high. He is not expected to live. Rob
ert Moses was also thrown over an
embankment and severely injured. Out
of the 1000 men who had intended to
work only fifty were able to get into
the mines. The others retreated.
1t is said $500 union men are now
out, and nearly all the mines will be
closed. Sheriff Martin and his depu-
ties have succeeded in restoring tenn
porary quiet by making arrests.
