BLOW WATNAVAL MILITIA.
New YorI's Adjutamt General Declines
 to Make Annual Cruise.

Washington, May 1.-The severest blow which the naval militia has re- ceived since it's conception several years ago, is said by the department officials to have been administered by the adjutant general of New York in letter just received announcing that the New York state naval militia would not accept the navy departments offer to make their annual cruise on the Prairie this year. The reason assigned for the abandonment of the cruise is that the New York organization desires this year to devote the time to work with>the small boats and launches,s and reconnaissances along shore. As sev- eral other state organizations also have declined to accept the navys aid this year. the officers interested in the movement are discouraged and are in- clined to revert to the alternative naval reserve project. The New York militia was scheduled to go to sea on the Prairie early in August next The of their cruise and similar action by some of the southern states will lead to a general advancement of the remaining dates for the practice cruises of the state militia organiza- tions.

ROBERTS, FINE STRATEGY.
Capture of Winburg and smaldeel Part
 Ofa Great MOvemcMt.

Smaldeel, Sunday, May 6.-The move ment that eliminated in the capture of k Winburg and Smaldeel was part of a great general movement extending from General Hunter on the west to General Rundle on the east. General Roberts remarkable strategy resulted in plac- ing everywhere five British to one Boer. Out of what appeared the inextricable confusion of divisions and brigades or der was quickly evolved, and the Boers were compelled to meet Lord Roberts under unfavorable conditions. What is more important is that the British are now able to wait. Their front and strong positions are safe in the knowl- edge that their fanking columns will advance and outfank the Boers.
 Yesterday the Beers really held a strong position, from which earlier in the campaign they could only have been forced by hard fighting. General Hamilton's arrival at Winburg Val though not directly outfanking the Boers, made their position extremely uncomfortable. General Hutton's move- ment on the left was even more suc- cessful than at first imagined. Forty Boers were killed. The march to-day was short, but General Pole-Carews division marched fifty-eght miles in -four days.
 General Fuckers division is marching on the left to-day, and General Max wells brigade will be able to cross the river before night. Lord Roberts has been very strict in his examination of the farms, with the result of disclosing the fact that nearly every house is a miniature arsenal, Mausers, Martinis and abundant ammunition being found. If these had not been discovered the army would be leaving in it's rear the material, in men and arms for a dan gerous movement among the inhabi- tants.
 All along the railway the culverts, wherever of any size, have been utterly destroyed, but the engineers hope 10 make a detour in some cases and in others they will fill up the gaps. Three of the four spans of the Vet river bridge have been utterly destroyed and it will be necessary to make a tempo rary line down the river bed as at the Modder. Reports have been heard this afternoon, showing that more culverts and bridges are being destroyed to the | northward.

WILL EXTEND THE STRIKE
Threat of D. l.. d A. Me n to Bring or d
 to Terms.

Buffalo, May 7.-At the conclusion of the meeting of the striking car repairers of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, held at East Buffalo tonight it was semi-officially announced that if the company did not come to terms with it's men at once, the strike would be extended on the line. As given out, the programme is to call out the men in the big locomotive shop of the company at East Buffalo and also the switchmen in the East Buffalo yard. There was al- so talk of extending the strike down the line of the Buffalo division, but this appeared to be an after thought The executive committee of the car repair CTS association to-day notified the mas ter mechanic of the Lackawanna .hat the sliding scale would not be consider ed. This seemed to change the deadlock and to-night's meeting was the next step.

TROUBLE IN BRIDGEPORT
Mayor Issues Warrant for Arrest of
 Democratic Aldermen.

Bridgeport, May 7.-At a meeting of the board of aldermen tonight the re- publican members elected c. H. Elem ing as harbor master to succeed the late Archibald MacNeil. The election was protested, however by the demo- cratic aldermen. The meeting was the occasion of a very lively meeting. The democratic members were not prepared to vote and were holding caucus, when the mayor issued a warrant for their arrest that they might be brought into the meeting and make a quorum. The warrant was served on one of the members by Deputy Sheriff Dooling, and the officer was obliged to provoke q scene, as the member would not submit peacefully

Jsmrs G. Woodward of AtIants, Gs.,
 Breaks tho Pledge.

Atlanta, Ga., May 1.-The city coun- cil tonight adopted resolution calling on Mayor James c. Woodward to re- sign his office. The resolution was the culmination of sermon last night by Rev. L. G. Broughton in which the min ister made a violent attack on the may or's personal habits. The resolution calls upon the mayor to resign before the next meeting of the council two weeks from to-day. The leader of the opposition to MT. Woodward says the mayor is in honor bound, under the terms of the pledge made last summer to resign. The mayor tonight declined to say what his action would be. His term expires January 1 next.

STEEL WIRE CO.'S TROUBLE.
Letter of Messrs. Seligman and strauss
 Explaining Their Resignation.

I
 New York, May 1.-The directors of | the American Steel and Wire company
 met here to-day. John W. Gates, the chairman of the board, did not resign,
 as had been predicted, but the directors
 who have chiefly opposed him, Henry | Seligman and Frederick Strauss, did. Messrs. Seligman and Strauss left the meeting before it's close and about half
 an hour later gave out copies of letter
 addressed by them to the board of direc-
 tors, in which they explained that they were getting out because MT. Gates was staying in. MT. Seligman and Mr. | Strauss have represented in the board the interests of the banking firm of J. i 6 w. Seligman & Go. Members of this | firm dissuaded Washington Seligman l GIenry Seligmans cousin) from contin-
 uing his legal fight against John w. Gates, which he had begun through ex-
 Justice Daly and Attorneys Lamb and Voss, by assuring him that MT. Gates would resign the chairmanshlp on or be- fore May 7 Below is the letter of
 Messrs. Seligman and Strauss
 ITO the Board of Directors American Steel and Wire Company:
 "Gentlemen-We have to-day resign ed from the directory of the American
 Steel and Wire company because John
 w. Gates did not at to-days meeting retire from the management of the company, as we had been given to un- derstand he would do.
 "Our reasons for continuing to act as directors until now may perhaps de- serve further explanation. On the morning of the April meeting of the board we received assurances from sources on which we thought ourselves entitled to rely that the resignation of MT. Gates as chairman would be offer- ed about May 1. While it is true that by continuing in the board we exposed ourselves to possible misconstructon, we risked this in the belief that by de- lay we should accomplish that which every one must recognize as demanded by the best interests of the company, namely, MT. Gates retirement from the management; and we realized that un- der the bylaws of the company to force MT. Gates retirement was practically impossible, and that these assurances promised more substantial results than the contemplated attempt to force his immediate resignation. MT Gates, however, continues to control the com pany, and under these circumstances it becomes impossible for us longer to con- tinue in the directory
 Messrs. Gates, Elwood and other di- rectors declined to discuss the letter of Messrs, Seligman and Strauss. It is that the two gentlemen named were the only ones to resign from the board

STOLE CUBAN POSTAL FUNDS.
Arrest of Chief Neeley,th Governments
 Agent-Nfarly S36 .000 Taken.

New York, May 7.-C. F. W. Medley, chief financial agent of the government at Havana, was brought to this city to- day on charge of stealing nearly S36, 900 of postal funds. Late this afternoon Medley secured the required $20,000 bail and was released. A. c. Smith, a friend of Neeley's said that Medley had been for fifteen months in the postal service in Cuba and during that time he had handled millions of dollars. The short age in Neeley's accounts, he said, was doubtless due to clerical errors and it would be strengthened out at the proper time. Smith also said that Medley while in Cuba had been concerned in several speculations and that his last enter prise was the shipment of a cargo of cocoanuts.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE
QUESTION or LETIR VENT AND
 ERECTION OF BISHOPS.
Growing Sentiment Among the Dele- gates That None of the Present Bish- ops should be mtttee on
 EplscoPncy May Recommend Differ

1 Chicago, May 7--As the time ap- breaches for settling the question of
 how many bishops are to be elected hy
 the Methodist general conference the
 sentiment is growing among the dele
 gates that none of the present occu-
 pants of the high office should be retir-
 ed and placed on the superannuated list. | It seems probable that because of the
 advanced age of several members of the | Episcopacy, the committee on Episco-
 pacy will recommend the election of five | additional bishops. Three will be for work in this country and two to super wise the missionary work in Asia This 1 is the programme in favor with ma jority of the members of the committee
 on Episcopacy. The committee to-day
 began active work on the questions re- ferred to 1t by the conference. Chair
 man Buckley was authorized to appoint subcommittee on tenure of office, mis- sionary bishops, districting of bishops,
 Episcopal residences and general refer
 ence. A score of memorials were read
 and referred to the appropriate commit
 tees without discussion.
 There are twenty or more avowed
 candidates for the office of bishop not
 withstanding the fact that it is not
 likely that more than five additions to
 the present board of Episcopacy will
 be made. Among those most promi- nently mentioned for bishops are Dr. J.
 D. Hamilton of New York, Dr. F. J. Berry of Chicago, Dr. Henry Spell meyer of Newark, Dr. T. B. Neely of Philadelphia, Dr. William r. McDowell of Colorado and Dr. W. V. Kelley of New York. It Is probable that much opposition to the election of a colored bishop will appear when the matter is taken up by the conference. The south ern delegates, it is said, will vote solidly in favor of the innovation, but hun dreds of representatives of northern conferences, it is stated, will oppose It. A great number of white candidates for bishop, it Is believed, will operate against the chances of Dr. J. F. Bowen of Washington, the leading colored as- pirant and several prominent delegates declare that the election of Dr. Bowen by the present conference is by no meana certain.
 Members of the committee on tempo ral economy listened to the reading of a mass of memorials and resolutions sug- gestirg changes in the management of the church's affairs. Chairman King was instructed to appoint six sub-eom- mittees, and the different documents were referred to these sub-committees without being discussed. The commit l tee on temperance listened to the read ing of several memorials referred to it | by the General conference. One memo rial condemned President Mckinley for laxtty in enforcing the anti-canteen law | and was generally discussed, but no ac-j tion was taken. Another recommenGc I | the book of discipline so that | of the church who rent prop erty for saloon purposes may be brought to trial They were all refct- red to the subcommittee.

4 RFEITER ARPESTED.
Harry Taylor Confessrs Co Passing
 spurious SEQ Notes

Philadelphia, May 7-Another chapter
 conspiracy was made public to-day by
 the arrest of Harry Taylor charged
 with passing the counterfeit $20 notes
 found in circulation last week. Taylor
 confessed his part in the conspiracy
 He was given hearing before United 1 States Commissioner Fdmunds and | committed in default of $10000 bail for 1 trial Taylor admitted having passed all the spurious notes of the Manning head denomination recently discovered here.
 Harry Taylor is a brother of Arthur | Taylor, now awaiting sentence for hav- ing engraved the cigar revenue stamps and the counterfeit Monroe head S10O silver certificate, which resulted in the arrest of Jacobs and Hendricks, the Lancaster cigar manufacturers. and
 Ingham and White, formerly United States district attorney and assistant. respectively
 Chief Wilkie and Detective Burns of the secret service, accompanied by Dis trict Attorney Beck. to-day visited the county prison and had an interview with Arthur Taylor and Baldwin s. Bredell who assisted Taylor in engraving the counterfeit cigar stamps and the Monroe $100 note. These two admitted having engraved the Manning head $20 notes and said they had induced Harry Tay- Tor to circulate them. About 150 notes were struck off and of this number Tay- Tor passed about fitteen. The remaind- CT, he said, he had destroyed
 Chief Willde, in speaking of the ar rest, said: This was a scheme on the part of Taylor and Bredel to bring the government to terms and was the result of the advice of some disreputable law yer. The idea was that after the notes were circulated to wait until near 5he time for sentencing Taylor and Bredel and then for the latter to inform the government that they could furnish it with plates of which the secret service knew nothing. Their object was to se cure a lighter sentence" Chief Willia said the lawyer in question was prob | ably guilty of conspiracy to obstruct justice, but he would not state whether any other arrests would follow. 1

RETREAT OF THE BOERS.
A Stand at Kroonstnd LikeIy-Roborts
 and Kiteht n 1T Direct Artillery

A Stand at KrOonstnd LikeIy-Roborts
 and Kiteh, n ~r Direct Artillery
 London, May S-4:2O a. m.-The Boers are everywhere retiring before the Brit ish, except on the Natal frontier and at Mafeking, to the inner circle of their defenses. They appear determined not to fight until the Kroonstadt hills are reached. Lord Roberts is expected to do another forty or fifty miles and thsn to wait for time in order to bring up supplies and to repair the railway. There are one or two hints in the dis patches from the front that he may rest for few days at Smaldeel
 General French's 10000 cavalry have not been mentioned in the official or unofficial dispatches for four days. It is by no means likely that he is :dle, and the conjecture is that he is eithar the Ladybrand district. Fifteen 1hou- sand British are now operating 'n the western frontier of the Free State.
 According to advices from Maseru, Basutoland, several thousand Free Skaters arc north of Ladybrand where they have collected great herds. The district is rich in food for men and horses, and the Boers seem resolved not to move nortbward, but to be prepar ing to resist where they are If they are let alone they will menace the line of communications after the main Brit ish army has passed into the Trans vaal.
 Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener per sonally directed the artillery in the Vet river engagement. Queen Victoria will send signed photograph to Colonel Kekewich, the hero of Kimberley. Six thousand four hundred and fifty-eight troops are now at sea on the way to South Africa. No others are under or ders to go except as recruits to fill up the losses of regiments at the front.

Another Dock Fire,

New York, May Fire tonight de- stroyed a large section of the docks and sheds of the New Jersey Storage com pany, connected with the Standard Oil .company's constable hook works, caus- ing a property loss of $500, ,000 There Is some suspicion that the fire was started by strikers, who for the past week have been troublesome at the oil works and at the Oxford copper works which adjoin.
