TRUSTS AND WAR TAXES.
House Democrats Caucus assd Decide on
 Line of Action.

Washington. May 29.-The democratic members of the house held caucus in the hall of the house tonight to con- slider the trust question, which ia to be brought before the house during the next three days and other subjects of legislation and party interest The caucus was attended by about eighty democratic members. MT. McRae of Arkansas acted as chairman and MT. Cummings of New York secretary. At the outset MT. Richardson offered resolution in favor of the repeal of war taxes. MT. Levy of New York offered substitute protesting against con- gressional adjournment until action has been taken to reduce or repeal the war revenue taxes. MT. Richardson supported his resolution in a brief speech The Levy substitute was de- feated and the Richardson resolution adopted withou. division.
 The trust question was then taken up MT. Ball of Texas presenting resolutions favoring an adverse vote on the anti trust constitutional amendment, and a favorable vote on the proposed demo- cratic antitrust substitute bill. The resolution further provided that in the event of the defeat of the substitute, support would be given to the anti trust bill as reported.
 The resolution brought out extended debate and considerable difference of opinion as to the manner of dealing with the trust issue. In the course of the discussion, MT. salmon of New Jer- sey, intmated that without reference to the action of the caucus the would fav- or the constitutional amendment. The democratic members of the judiciary committee, Messrs. Terry, DeArmond, Lanham and others favored action along the lines of the Hall resolution.
 The Ball resolution was finally adopt ed, with minor amendments. As to the substitute antitrust bill the reso- lution states: We believe that the adoption of these drastic provisions will demonstrate the power of congress to destroy combinations, monopolies and the consolidation of capital familiarly called trusts''
 Should the substitute fail of adoption, the resolution then provides for sup porting the antitrust bill reported by the majority. As to this measure the resolution says: While not satisfactory to the democratic minority, and not likely to remedy the trust evil, this bill does make an effort toward harassing and outawing these enemies of the pub- lie, and democrats are not willing to vote down any measure tending to that end" The resolution further urges dem ocrats to vote against the constitutions al amendment unless it be so amended as to leave the states unhampered in enacting antitrust laws.

London, May 30-3:30 a. m.--Lord Roberts is bivouacking in the suburbs of Johannesburg tonight and intends to make a victorious entry at noon to- day. Judging from his dispatch he must have private information regard ing the dispositions of the garrison in the fort as he does not seem to expect opposition Lord Roberts cavalry have flowed on beyond Johannesburg A DOT tion is understood to be a t Zuurfontein seven miles north of Johannesburg and withon twenty miles of Pretoria Lord Roberts, although with a broken bridge at Vereeniging and a wreck of railway behind him, has somehow managed to get forward sufficient sufficient supplies for his large force.
 As he has been able to Go so much it Is considered possible that he will be outside of Pretoria Friday. The rapid ity of his advance is thought an extra ordinary achievement even by grudging continental critics.
 The Boers, who were expected to fight along the line of hills known as Kip Riverberg abandoned the eastern end of the range, near Lord Roberts ad- vance line; but they stood their ground on the extreme right near Van Wycks Rust, where they met General Frenchs turning movement.

 Until June c.

New York, May 29.The first hearing in the suit brought against the Ameri- can Ice company to have its certificate revoked began this morning before Myer Nussbaum, the referee appointed by Judge Chase. Among those sub poenaed were President Morse, Secre- tary Robert A. Scott and William H. Gelshenen, president of the Garfield Ma tional bank, and William H. Burke, secretary of the dock board. At the hour set for the hearing President Morse was not present and it was after o'clock when he walked in. Counsel for the defendants endavored to secure postponement of the heraing until June 6, but this was opposed and on motion of MT Coyne an adjournment was granted until Friday. This order re- lates only to the examination of Presi- dent Morse and the hearing of the other parties subpoenaed will be had on Thursday next. At to-day's session of the board of aldermen the resolution in troduced at the last meeting calling for a committee of five to investigate the charges that city officials hold stock in the American Ice company was tabled by an almost unanimous vote.

Eir. Couarr CaIIrfor Aid,

Washington, May 20.-Advices indi- cate that the situation in China has assumed a very critical phase, and one calculated to tax the entire resources of the Chinese government. The state department has placed the flagship Newark as far up to the Pei-Ho river as the Taku forts, which is the nearest point to Pekln that the ship can reach.
 Minister Conger has appealed to the state department for the protection of a marine guard for his legation. The department has sent authorization to call upon the nearest United States naval vessels for assistance It is not known officially whether he has availed himself of the permission. The ship he would naturally look to would be the Newark, and it is assumed that he has already communicated with Admiral Kempf on board that flagship.

San Francisco, May 20-In accordance with the power vested in it by the board of supervisors of this city to-day the board of health has quarantined Chinatown and that section of the city Is now surrounded by q , cordon of police who refuse to allow any one to pass in or out of the district unless he is provided with proper permit. The quarantine order also includes the street cars, which are not allowed to pass through the district. It was only after a spirited meeting of the supervisors that 1t was decided upon thls action.
 Mayor Phelan has issued the following statement to the Associated Press: "ThC situation in San Francisco is as follows: Between March and May 15 nine dead bodies of Chlnamen taken from the Chinese quarters showed evidences of bubonic plague. Since the latter date no person sick of plague has been found nor has there been any death. The city board of health keeps m a constant inspection In Chinatown, and, in consequence of the de- cision of the federal courts. preventing in- oculation of Chinese about to leave the city, the Chinese district itself twill be quar- ant!ned in order to protect outside terri tory from even the remotest possibility of contagion. There Is no fear whatever among the people of San Francisco nor is there any danger. There has been no in- lection in the city proper, although China town has been open during this period. The measures adopted are merely precau- tionary. No fact Is concealed and no dan ger need De apDrehended. "

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE
CAME TO 4 CLOSE IN CHICA GO
 YESTERDAY
onsidered to Hnve Been One of the Most Noteworthy Stnce Methodism tl0n-some of tho Important Matters Disposed of.

DASb~"N' O's
 Chicago, May 29.-The quadriennial conference of the Methodist Episcopal church came to an end to-day after a session of four weeks. The conference is considered to have been one of the most noteworthy since the days when Methodism was divided over the slave ry question: and has resulted in many radical changes in the laws and polity of the church. The conference was one of the largest in the history of the by thousands.
 Principal among the important &C., tions of the conference were the aboli tion of the time limit on pastorates; the ratification of the equal representa- tion amendment as proposed by Rock River conference, together with the seating of the provisional lay delegates; the adoption of new constitution, subject to approval of the various an- nual conferences, including the substi- tuition of the words of Hay members" for the term 'laymen," thus permitting the seating of women in the general conferences; and the election of two ad- ditional missionary bishops There was huge amount of routine business which was practically settled in com- mittee.
 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 and were, fol- 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, total and unconditional, of the five year linn it on pastorates. One thing the con- ference did not do was to modify para graph 24S of the discipline, which, among other things, forbids attendance upon theaters, circuses and dancing.
