The War in the East.

Niuchwang, May 19.-The japanese
fleet was sighted ten miles north of Kai-
Chow today. japanese troops have
marched several miles inland from Kai-
Chow, destroying four miles of railroad
and capturing a commissariat train.
London, May 19.-The Odessa cores
pondent of the Central News wires that
the whole of the Russian Black Sea fleet
has been ordered to be held on a complete
war footing from August LIST. In the
meanwhile the fleet is divided into two
squadrons which are executing series
of practical evolutions in Crimean waters.
1t is reported, adds the correspondent,
that an arrangement has been arrived at
whereby Turkey will allow the fleet to
pass through the Dardanelles for service
in the far East.
London, May ia special dispatch
received in London this afternoon an
nounces that the japanese cruiser
Koshine and the battleship Hatsuse
have been sunk.
Chefoo, May 19.-Russian refugees
from Dalny report that the japanese
fleet suffered severely during the recent
operations before Port Arthur and Dalny.
They say that during bombardment of
Port Arthur on Monday, the battleship
Shikishima and the cruiser Asama, struck
mines and sank. The crew of the bat
tIeship, numbering $50 men, the re-
fugees report, we're nearly all lost. The
Asama sank slowly and her men we're
saved. The refugees also report that the
battleship Flu struck a mine and was
seriously damaged. The Russian consul
has telegram from Dalny conveying
the rumor that two japanese battleships
were lost at Port Arthur Monday. No
confirmation of the Russian reports
have reached here. There is a belief
that the Russians have magnifed the re-
ports of the sinking of the japanese
cruiser Miyako in Kerr bay, Dalny, in
to a serious japanese reverse. The re-
fugees state that Russian torpedo boats
went out to rescue the japanese on the
sinking vessels, but japanese reinforce
ment came up at that moment, and they
were forced to retire. One Of the fire
ships sunk in the harbor, they say, has
been removed, thus reopening the pass
age of the harbor, though it is still
dangerous to attempt a passage. The
fleet has been ordered to remain inside
till the arrival of the admiral.

Williams Hits Roosevelt.

Congressman John Sharp Williams
was the principal speaker at the
Mississippi press banquet at McComb,
CITY, Tuesday night. He began by
saving that the prospects OF democratic
success were brighter than in many
wears. and for that reason he would de-
part from custom and discuss national
politics.
Mr.. Williams briefly reviewed the work
of the recent Congress. He said that the
republicans had given the democrats so
many telling issues that it would be dlth-
cult to select from them. Roosevelt, the
speaker declared, would prove the heay-
lest load his party has had to carry in its
entire history.
His arbitrary freaks and cratic capric-
es had alarmed and disguised the con-
servative men Of his own party, and he
would be on the defensive from the in
ception of the campaign to the finish.
There was every popular evidence that
''Teddy the Terror was not wanted and
none that he was wanted.
A splendid opportunity, Mr.. Williams
said, was offered to the democrats if they
would nominate candidate who would
command the confidence ofthe sober con-
servatism of the country and adopt a
sound platform. Judge Alton B. Parker,
of New York, was the man to nominate.
HHe is wise, patriotic statesman of
the TiIden school, who knows how to
stay at home and keep his mouth shut, "
said Mr.. Williams. "The democracy
does not need any dictators or verbal
cataracts, but calm, conservative think
ers, and Judge Parker fully meets the
demands of the hour"
From all sections came evidence, sal
Mr.. Williams, of restoration of demo-
cratic political sanity which foreboded
the rout of Roosevelt in the November
election.
The Hearst forces have been active there
of late, but it is believed that the speech
of Congressman Williams will demolish
the movement in the State and that
Judge Parker will have the support of
the Mississippi delegation to the st.
Louis convention.

ELECTION OF BISHOP.

The Methodist General Conference in
Los Angeles, Cal, yesterday voted for
eight bishops, but elected only one
Joseph F. Berry, editor of the Epworih
Herald, who received more than two
thirds Of the entire vote cast on the
first ballot. One other ballot was taken,
but the result OF this will not be known
until today. DR.. Berry received an
ovation when the figures were an
nounced.
The committee on temporal economy
yesterday afternoon decided to recon-
mend to the general conference that the
size of future general conferences be re-
duced from basis of two delegates to
every As members of annual conferences
to basis of two for every 60 members.
This would reduce the size of general
conferences to $50 members instead Of
$50 members, on the basis of the present
church membership.
The conference rescinded the decision
to adjourn on Saturday, May %, and
fixed Monday, May 80, as the date of
final adjournment.
An afternoon session was held in order
to hear the report of the tellers on the
first ballot for bishops.
Iu addition to the new bishops, one
of whom may be colored, it also is pro-
posed to elect colored associate tor
Bishop Hartzell, of Africa. DR.. Cam
phor, of Monrovia, Liberia, is being
urged by the missionary officers for the
position, and if the Office is created it
is likely that he will be chosen to fill it.
The overcoming charge of heresy
is again egitating the delegates. Its
latest appearance is in the committee
on education, where it provoked the
most acrimonious discussion that has
occurred between delegates Of the pres
ent gathering. The outbreak came as
result of the report OF subcommittee
on the memorials received by the con-
ference relating to alleged dangerous
doctrines disseminated by some of the
theological schools of the church.
DR.. L. w. Munnall, of Philadelphia,
led the supporters Of the heresy. He
was combatted by DR.. Chas. ]. Little,
president of the Garrett Biblical Insti-
tute, and Prof Milton S Terry, of the
same institution. Much feeling was
manifested by both sides. After hours
ofheated debate, in which strong charges
against the accused institutions we're
made and as vigorously denied, the mat
ter was referred to the subcommittee for
more extended report. A resolution
recommending a change in the marriage
ritual, to exclude the word "obey," " was
referred to the committee on revision.
Colored people are applying to the con-
ference in an attempt to secure the
election of a colored bishop. The con-
ference disregarded the appeal, but the
colored contingent is insistent and is
making a great fight

church should approach it. This is the
first American bishop to act on the Pope's
order.
