Resolutions Were Killed.

The attitude of the Roman Catholic
church toward the public school sys-
tenn of the United States furnished a
subject of sensational debate in the
Methodist general conference at Los
Angeles. Monday While there was a
strong disposition on the part OF GER
tain delegates to have the conference
adopt resolutions committing 1t to ex-
IRENE utterances upon the subject,
there was an overwhelming sentiment.
as 1t developed. against any such ac-
tion and the entire matter was finally
disposed OF by referring It to COM
mittee. from which 1t is unlikely ever
to be reported.

however, General Kuroki ought to be
able to drive back General Kuropat-

a central position and can strike
either to right or left, an advantage

WAR WILL BE LONG ONE.
This Is tho Conclusion Reached by
Russian Leaders.

st. Petersburg dispatch says:
The swift march of events at the the
alter Of war-the virtual abandonment
by the Russians OF all their advanced
positions along the Manchurian lit
toral has created deep impression
among the people and feeling OF APP
prehension which the authorities con-
tend Is unwaranted by a calm consld-
Grafton OF the situation. While not
attempting to minimize the import
ance Of the advantages gained by the
enemy In the occupation of the Lao
Tung peninsula and the advance from
the Yalu river, the general staff new
ertheless declares that II 1t had not
been for General Zassalitch's rash
stand at the Yalu the retreat and con-
ceutration of General Kuropatkin's
army upon It's normal line of defense
would have been regarded as a mas
terly piece OF strategy.
The equanlmity of the government
Is shown by the free publication OF all
news kilograms from abroad, some
being OF a most sensational character.
At the general staff the one dominant
idea Is that the developments OF the
last few days make II certain that the
war win be bitter and long.
The real truth seems to be that |
General Kuropatkin has not much |
over 100000 men south OF Hardin.
and he is determined to pursue the
plan which he mapped at first--to al
low the enemy to follow him back
into the heart OF Manchuria until
strong enough to assume the often

RUSSIANS PREPARING TO
EvAcUATE NEW cHUANG.
Forts Have Been Dismantled and Ar
tiIIery Made Ready for Shipment.


tiIIery Made Ready for Shipment.
Advices from New Chuang, under
date of April Z. say there is every in
dication that the Russians have de-
cided to evacuate New Chuang Troops
have been leaving here all day long
The forts have been dismantled and
all the artillery has been placed on
board trains. All the local transpor-
tation has been commandered by the
Russian authorities.
There is current a native rumor
that Japanese transports are in Foo
chau bay ION the west side of the
Laio Tung peninsula, and about sixty
miles north of Port Arthur), but this
report lacks confirmation.
The fear is held here that II the
Russians leave and the Japanese do
not at once take possession of New
Chuang the brigands, who are now
across the river near Yingkow, will
pillage the place. The foreign resi-
dents are prepared to resist the bri-
gands should they come over. The
British consul has requested that a
gunboat be sent to New Chuang.
The Russians probably will destroy
the gunboat Sivoutch before leaving.
The vessel is at New Chuang.
Passengers arriving at Chefoo on
the steamer Petrarch from New Chu-
ang say that when they left New
Chuang the Russians had commenced
to evacuate. Some guns had been
taken from the forts and many troops
had already gone. In other respects
New Chuang was quiet. The passen-
gers understood before their depar'
.ure that the Japanese had cut the
but they learned no particu-
ars.

CAN'T ENFORCE LAW
JUDGE DECLINES TO HOLD
COURT AT TELLURIDE, COLO.
States That It Would be a Farce to
Attempt to Enforce Civil Law
Under Present Conditions.

At Telluride, Colo, on Tuesday
Judge Theron Stevens adjourned the
May term of the district court, as San
Miguel county Is under martial law.
No action was taken on the applica-
ton to make permanent the iniunc-
ton granted by the court at Ouray,
restraining the Citizens alliance and
mine owners from interfering with
the return of the deported miners to
their homes in Telluride
In announcing bis decision Judge
Theron Stevens referred to the fact
that when he came into town he was
forced to walk through files of SOL
diers who had been stationed at the
depot with orders to arrest deported
union men who, it was falsely report
ed, were returning with the Judge.
Judge Stevens said: IL can only
believe from the indications, from the
demonstrations that have been made,
from the conditions which seem to
exist here, that the executive and
the military and portion of the peo-
pie of this country are willing that
this court should be opened and such
business transacted as meets the ap-
prevail of the people: that such orders
of the court as meet the approval of
the military commander and por-
ton of the people of the county may
be executed, but that such portion of |
the orders of this court or the de- |
crees of this court as do not meet |
with the approval of the military and |
the people of this county may not be |
executed. Under such circumstances /
the court would not be in a position
to enforce its lawful orders, or what
It conceives to be its lawful orders
Such being the case, 1t would simply
be farce to attempt to enforce civil
aw in this county"

The end of the first week of the
thirty first general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church at Los
Angeles sees much of the preliminary
matter and details disposed of and the
great gathering nearly ready to take
up the more important work before it.
All Of the standing committees have
been organized many of them have
appointed their subcommittee and
mapped out the work assigned to their
special attention.
In the initial sessions of the leading
committees one question above all
others has been brought prominently
to the fore. 1t is the question of
whether the present conference shall
restore the ministerial time limit Of
three or five years or permit the pres
ent plan of unlimited tenure, which
was adopted at the general conference
four years ago, to continue.
