METHODIST PROTESTANT CON-

UNION OF CHURCHES.
REPORT ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECEIVED
COUNCIL OF DENOMINATION IN.
TEREsTED THE ESSENTIAL
FEATURE or PLAN

Washington, May 25.-The Meth
day officially received the plan of un
ion to embrace She Congregational
the United Brethren and the Methodist
Protestant denominations.
The presentation Was made by the
Rev DR.. Washington GLADDEN. Of Co,
lumbus, o., a Congfegationalist and
chairman of the joint committee which
formulated the plan. 1t was received
with hearty enthusiasm by the confer
ence, as was the endorsement by Rev.
DR.. w. M. Weekley of Dayton, o., sec.
retary of the committee and a minister
In the United Brethren church.
The essential feaeure of the plan pro-
vides for general council composed
OF representatives from each denom-

5000 members. The plan, although
formulated last year, has not been act
ed upon by either OF the churches as
whole. For this reason the action Of

the popularity of the movement.
Both Dr. GLADDEN. and DR.. Weekley

GUESSING At JAPANESE PLANS.
Russians Believe Attack on Port Ar.
thus Is Imminent.

thus Is Imminent.
st. Petersburg. May 25.-The pre-
vailing opinion at the headquarters of
the general staff is that the with
drawal of the Japanese upon Feng-
huancheng means that the enemy has
decided to devote himself primarily
to operations against Port Arthur and
that the present object of General Ku-
roki, with the First army, supported
by General Nadya, with the Third
army. now landing near Takushan, is
to watch General kuropatkin and pre-
vent move southwark which would
take General Oku and the Second
army on the Liaotung peninsula in the
rear. A direct attack upon General
Kuropatkin's main force apparently is
not considered to be impending. Moth
ing more than outpost affairs are an
ticipated, although some of these may
be sanguinary. The Russian scouts
are keeping in constant touch with
the enemy and thus far the minor
shiftings of the enemy's detachments
west of the Tayang river and north
ward of Moitingling are considered to
be in the nature of screens. If the
two armies of the Russian commander
in-chief are trying to work force
around in the rear of general Kuroki
or are planning a surprise of course
the fact is assiduously concealed here.

FRENCH ATTACHES OPINION.
Says Russia Will Gain Command o
the Sea.

st. Petersburg, May 25.-Lieutenant
st. Paire, the French naval attache
said in the course of an interview
with the correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press:
THE last Japanese disaster makes
it impossible for Vice Admiral Togo to
overpower the Port Arthur squadron
Port Arthur will hold out until the Bal
tic fleet arrives and then the Russians
will be able to gain command of the
sea-"
The foreign office states that 1t has
not received any protest regarding the
alleged planting of mines by Rear Ad-
miral Wittsoeft outside the marine
limit at Port Arthur.
The admiralty denies the report OF
the capture of three Japanese cruisers
by the Vladivostok squadron, which
has not been outside the harbor for
several weeks.

HARRASSiNG THE NATIVES.
Russian Cossacks Active in Eos.nerr

Seoul, May 25.-Further reports are
being received that the Russians are
advancing along the great south road
from Songchin. Koreans estimate
their number at about 600. The Cos
sacks, who fought with the Koreans at
Hamheung, are supposed to have re
tired to Changchin. The latest reports
from Hamheung are that the Russians
burned 500 houses in the suburbs and
partly destroyed the longest bridge in
Korea, which there spans the Song
chun river. Detached bodies of Rus
sian troops are continually appearing
and they seem to have no definite pur-
pose other than that of harrassing the
country people. Major Takagi, the
commander at Gensan, apparently
wearying of this continued raiding,
has sent force north, the strength
OF which has not been stated and
which is probably intended to garrison
