 The Japanese army now in Corea is reaching the south bank of the Yalu river at different points,

TRIAL OF THE BOVINE
 HERESY CASE FINISHED
4 VERDICT REACHED AT MID-
 NIGHT LAST NIGHT


 Until it fs submitted to the Methodist
 Conference Latter Incorporated Un-
 der the Religious Corporations Act of
 Now York state.
 New York, April 7.-About midnight the committee of the New York Meth odist conference that has been trying Prof. Borden P. Browne for heresy con- cluded it's labors.
 The members of the committee ad- mitted that a verdict had been reach ed but refused to say whether it was for or against Professor Browne until report was made to the conference.
 The most important business trans acted to-day was the passage of mo- ton providing for the incorporation of the conference under the religious cor porations act of New York state. This was done at the suggestion of Dr. J. M. Buckley, one of the trustees of the fund for superanuated ministers. Here tofore, the only effective legal organiza- ton existing in the conference was through the incorporation of the trus- tees of the fund in the state of Connect icut, and as there are several churches in Manhattan who desore to transfer their property to the conference, it was thought best to effect an organization in New York state The trustees in both tsates, elected this morning, are the Rev. J. M. Buckley, the Rev. w. H. Barton and the Rev c. H. Buck. The Rev. w. B. Scranton, a mission ary in Corea, and member of the con- ference, delivered short address. He declared that when he first began his work, twenty years ago, there were no Christians in Corea. Now there arc 5000 Methodists alone.
 The Rev. Theodore l.. Cuyler attend ed the conference and offered the as- sembled ministers the greeting of the Presbyterians of Brooklyn. He said: There never was time when the teachings of Wesley were so needed as they are now in America. The age is self-confident: the brain of America is turned with wealth, but if the head is turned, the heart is just where it was when Paul wrote .his epistle to the Romans"
