Japanese and Russians Are Sparring for an Opening
MERELY MOVING ABOUT
ALarger Force of Russians Than Was Supposed South of the Yalu-Skir- mishes Between Scouting Parties. Japs FOrtifyins in nanshuria.

I.iao Yang, May 13.-The advance guard of the Japanese army has ap- peared six miles below Lien Chenkaun, on the road to Lao Yang. It is not making any further advance. but is erecting strong fortifications. Tl,e Jap anese Notifications were made with the greatest care. A persistent report is current that a Russian squadron of cavalry succeeded in getting hehind the Japanese, who are several squad sons strong, and is occupying Kuan Dian San. The unexpected appearance of the Russians caused the Japanese to immediately evacuate the town and re- tire toward the Yalu. The report is believed to be correct.
 Professor KaraVieff, who has arrived on the train from Port Arthur, asserts that he saw near Polandien station the body of a. Russian soldier, one of the railway patrol, cut into quarters. In a skirrnish near Polandien one patrol was wounded. On the Japanese approach ing the soldier feigned death and it is said Japanese officer shot him in the mouth.

MADE UNCLE JOE SWEAR
The Fruitless and Noisy Illinois Re-
 publican Convention.

Springfield, H., May 13.-After sit ting for more than twelve hours and taking fifteen ballots in which none of the seven aspirants gained or lost ma terially, the Illinois republican con vention adjourned late today without nominating a man for governor. Two attempted stampedes and conferences failing to break the deadlock, the can didates for the gubernatorial nomina- tion at the suggestion of Chairman Jos. C. Canon, agreed to rest on their arms until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
 While the balloting went forward party leaders conferred in fruitless eff forts to get a compromise, but all their trouble went for naught and there is nothing in the situation tonight to warrant the prediction of "a break to- morrow. The convention was long and turbulent. Armory hall was packed and at times, when the scenes were most turbulent, Chairman Cannon threatened good naturedly to adjourn the convention to the state capitol and exclude the public.
 Ut is the damndest crowd I ever saw" he declared.
 The organization of the convention was effected without difficulty. Yates and Lowden were in control and the opposition decided to make no fight against the seating of the Yates and Dowden delegates. There was no dis cuSSion over the platform.

 The judges selected to pass upon the delivery were Judge J. H. Kibbey, Capt. George D. Christy and Mrs. J. H. Mo Clintock. Previously the arguments of the debaters had been secretly passed upon as to thought" by other judges to whom the manuscript had been sub mittel and thought and delivery were given equal consideration in the rating.

That the English parliamentary sys- tenn better represents the current thought of the people than does the CODSIcSSs lnt uD- holding the affirmative and the univer- sity the negative side.
 The university team was composed of Charles Alexander. Miss Martha Will son and John w. Gebb. The normal team was composed of three young women. Misses Louise Lynd.

General Conference and a Great Political Convention
FACTIONS PULL AND HAUL
The Leaders Seeking Personal Advan- tage Over Each Other-The Heresy Smellers Are Displeased With What They Call Whitewashing Report.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 13-Tha Methodist general conference convened at the regular hour this morning with Bishop Daniel A. Goodsell presiding and after the conclusion of the devotional services. resumed consideration os the revision of the rules of order. which has largely occupied the attention of the conference the past two days. The work of formulating the official rules of order has been fraught with many clashes between opposing parliament ary leaders on the floor of the confer ence. who sought to secure the adopt ol of rules that would tend to give their particular factions an advantage in the work of legislation. The general body. however, has been watchfuI and the rules as finally adopted have b-en framed with view to absolute equaIi- tY and fairness. The report of Mission ary Bishop F. w. Warne. of India. which was postponed from yesterdays session, was the special order of the day immediately after the morning re- cess.
 Charges of heresy made by Dr. Nun hall and others against the Garrett Biblical institute and the Boston School Theologic, continue to occupy the at tentiop of members of the committee on education and to be the absorbing topic among the conference delegates. The committee of five having charge of the investigation of this important matter. has made a report to the full committee, but the attacks of Dr. Munhall and other supporters of the heresy charges were so spirited that the committee voted not 10 accept the report. but to re-submit it with in structions to give the matter a mcre careful and thorough consideration
 The report of the subcommittee stated that but eight memorials wei before them on the subject, only four purporting to come from the annual conferences: that three of these me morials had been signed by a total of thirty-five persons and that two of them were In the form of printed cir culars.
 -..This,' the report said, seems to be the total result of the effort to stir up the conferences of the country on the subject After lengthy and some what acrid debate, in which the report was characterized by pr. Munhall and his followers as an attempt to white wash the accused institutions, the re- port of the subcommittee was finally referred back with instructions for q more extended inquiry.
 No feature of the present conference appears to be attracting more attention than the missionary exhibits. At the close of the first week of the exhi- tion a count of the visitors showed total of 40.00O. or about $500 day.

St. Petersburg, May 13.-General Kuropatkin's plans are most carefully guarded. There is an impression that heavy fighting will occur within fort night.

GROWING ARROGANT.
The Altitude of the Japanese Toward
 the Koreans.

Seoul, CMonday) via Shanghai, May 13.-The second Japanese army num- boring 10000 men left Chinampo on eishty-three transports on May 4. The soldiers were crowded on board the essels in the closest manner, one ship having $500 men on board. So closely were they packed between decks that exercise was impossible and very little air was obtainable. but in spite of these dtscomfOrts there was no grumbling. Every precaution was taken to prevent news of the departure of the army from leaking out. The residents o( ChinampO were strictly disciplined and no one was allowed to enter or leave town. Three Americans, however, succeeded in escaping frcm Chinampo on board a junk, and tweve days later they reached Chemulpo.
 The Japanese will probably compel the emperor of Korea to resume his residence at Kauvie palace, from which he fled after the fight of April IA. This would make Japanese influ- ence over the emperor supreme. Jap aHese merchants, soldiers and cnolics are becoming arrogant and the Ko- rrans are subordinated and helpless.
 The Japanese have established a naval base at Port Lazaref on Trough ton bay, a short distance north of Gen. san. The entrance of Port Lazaref is defended by mines.
 The Russian squadron at VladivDstolI is practically bottled up by the Jap anese fleet. Japanese scouting vessels are watching the harbor. It is assert ed here that one division of the sec ond Japanese army landed on Lfao Tung peninsula and it is asserted tha t the rest of this army will go ashore at Taku- Shan.

Cleveland, May 13.-The conference between the Lake Carriers and Masters and Pilots association was abruptly terminated late this after noon. No agreement was reached and a settlement is as far away apparently as at any time since the opening of ne- gotiations. No arrangement was made for another meeting.
 This means that commerce on the lakes will continue to te practically tied up for an indefinite period. as 70 per cent. of All the vessel tonnage on the Great Lakes is represented in the Lake Carriers association. No master who is a member of the Mast CTS and Pilots association can go aboard his vessel, until settlement is reached with the Lake Carriers as- sociation.
