METHODIST
CONFERENCE

MATTERS OF INTEREST
An Effort Will Be Made to Restore
the Time Limit on
Pastorates.
MATTERS OF INTEREST

The preliminary announcement of
the annual meeting of the Troy Con
ference has been issued. The confer
ence will meet this year in the Metho-
dist church at Gloversville, of which
Rev II. H. Murdock is pastor, the week
begipning April 6, The presiding
official, Bishop Earl Cranston, d. D.,
Ii. D., of Portland, Ore, is new
conner for the Troy Conference, never
having presided overthe deliberations.
Among the matters TO be considered
at the general conference will be the
consolidation OF the book concerns of
the denomination and the restoration
of the time limit. The record for long
service in the Troy Conference is at
present held by Rev Phillip Goettel of
the Pawling avenue Methodist church
of Troy. tie is completing his
eighth year as pastor there. II is not
impossible that the question OF redus-
ing the number Of districts of the Troy
Conference will come up for discus
sion in Gloversville, The conference
has now five districts, but many think
that four or even three presiding elders
might do the work of the FIVE now SER
wing. A reduction in the number
would mean a saving of perhaps four
thousand dollars a year, which money
could be used for some other purpose.

WASHINGTON, FEB. lO.-lniorma-
ton has reached here that nearly 2O,-
600 japanese troops have just been
landed at Chemulpo, the first division
of large force that will be thrown in
to Korea as rapidly as possible in the
enort thoroughly to occupy the stra-
tegic points in the Hermit Kingdom
while the Russian fleet is bottled up in
Port Arthur.
By one conversant with the japanese
plans II is stated that the repeated at
tacks on Port Arthur are not to seize
that place at present unless an unex-
pected weakness In the Notifications
should develop. They are part Of n
well defined plan for the harassing of
the Russian feet until Korea can be
occupied. The bottling up of the feet
there enables the landing of troops in
Korea without the convoy Of a large
number of warships.
The taking Of Port Arthur will form
the second number Of the war pro-
gramme. First. however, 1t is learned
that the japanese are now working to
cut the line of communication well up
on the railroad running from New
chwang to Port Arthur A large Jap
anese force will land at Newchwang
shortly for this purpose.
Advices froGr Tokyo say Goro Taxa
'hira, the Japanese minister at Wash
ington, has officially advised his gov
ernment that he is receiving numerous
offers of large contributions to the
war fund from Americans and requests
Instructions as to the policy of the gov
ernment in the matter. 1t is considered
probable that Japan win refuse to ac-
cept this prorered aid, while stating
that the government is deeply gratified
at this and other expressions Of Amer
lean sympathy.
A Chefu dispatch reports the arrival
Of 10000 Russian troops from Irkutsk.
They are now nearing Harbin.
During the maneuvers outside Pr
geon bay the Japanese succeeded in
landing $500 men, but 250 Cossacks
had preceded them. The Cossacks fired
seven volleys, afterward charging with
bayonets, completely routing the Jap
anese.
Admiral Alexeief. the cars viceroy,
nas established his headquarters at
Mukden
The Russian feet from Vladlvostok
has sailed in the direction Of Korea or
south Japan.
1t is reported that the feet intends to
lombard Japanese ports.
Enormous military activity contin-
ues, but the government carefully con-
ceals its plans and does not indicate
the date OF any movements. Although |
every moment of delay enables the
Russians TO become better prepared |
for the conflict, the Japanese apparent
ly are unconcerned and confident They |
fully realize that the limited capacity
Of the Transsiberian railway. the dis
tance Of the Russians from their base
Of supplies and the lack Of communica-
ton by sea sets limitations on the pro
posed accomplishments of Russia in
anG Siberia, They feel that
no danger attaches In that quarter and

Consumption

The only kind Of consump-
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle Of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use Of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.
