Emperor Williams Recreatons Are
Taken Up in Preparing Statistics
for Reichstag.
One of Emperor Williams recrea-
tionS on board the HohenZollern is
work on statistical tables about the
natives of Germany, England and the
United States. When he returns to
Berlin he will present these tables in
suitable showcases to the reichstag.
He is particularly anxious to show
the peoples representatives that. al
though the growth of the German
navy has been accelerated, it must be
fastened still more if 1t is 20 keep
pace with the American navy. The
emperor is convinced that he has far
better material to man his ships than
exists in America. The men of the
coast districts along the Baltic and
the North seas are unsurpassed, in
his estimation, as naval material.
The number of men in the German
fleet at present is 32,O5S, next year it
will be 34,4S2 and at the close of 1906,
10000 trained, reliable men. For a
long time the Russian and the Japan
ese navies chiefly concerned Emperor
William as a basis for comparison;
now it is the American navy.

Attendance.
Thlrty-first General Conference Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
In Session at Los An
eeles, Cal.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 6.-The
Methodist general conference held
two sessions Thursday, the morning
session being devoted to the reading
Of the quadrennial address of the
board of bishops of the M. e. church
to the general conference, and the af-
ternoon to the receipt and reference
Of memorials from the various annual
conferences.
The reading of the quadrennial ad-
1ress of the bishops of the church to
he general conference was the fea-
ture of the days session. The present
membership of the church was re-
ported at S,031,91S. an increase of
!3S,025 during the four years. The
Sunday schools include an aggregate
Of 3,124,644.
Los Angeles, May Very little
progress was made by the Methodist
general conference Friday, but the
business is being so systematized that
with a few more sessions to clear
away the vast quantity of preliminary
matter the work will proceed rapidly.
The resignation of Senor Bishop Ste
phen Fl. Merrill. of Chicago, was pre-
sented to the conference and referred
to the committee on episcopacy,
Los Angeles, Cal, May .9.-Bishops
ministers and presiding elders in at
tendance upon the Methodist general
conference, occupied pulpits in Prot
estant churches in Los Angeles, Pasa-
dena and all the surrounding cities
and towns within radius of 60 miles
yesterday, and every place of worship
was crowded at morning and evening
services to listen to distinguished
speakers.
Los Angeles, May 10.-The attitude
of the Roman Catholic church toward
the public school system of the United
States furnished the subject of an ex.
citing debate at Mondays session OF
the Methodist Episcopal general con
ference. While there was a strong
disposition on the part of certain dele.
gates to have the conference adopt
resolutions committing it to decided
utterances on the subject. an over
whelming sentiment developed
against such action, and the question
was finally referred to a committee
from which it is unlikely ever to be
reported.
Several other resolutions bearing
on divorce, termination of member.
ship of neglectful members, Sunday
closing of the Lewis and Clark expo
sition, endowment of the American
university at Washington, changes in
the wording of various paragraphs in
the discipline and other questions OF
Importance to Methodists were sub
mitted and debated.

WAR BULLETINS
BY THE ARMIES AND NAVIES OF
TO REsIEeE PORT ARTHUR.

st. Petersburg, May 6.-With Vice
Admiral Togo lowering in the imme-
diate vicinity of Port Arthur and
transports loaded with troops lying at
Pitsewo. 75 miles northeast of that
stronghold, Russia has braced herself
for impending conflicts with the foe
in which she will again play a de-
fensive role, this time, it is hoped,
with better success and, therefore,
with less sacrifice of life than in the
engagements on the Yalu.
1t is understood that the railroad
will play an important part in the eff
fort of the Russians to push the Japa-
nese back to the sea, as it will permit
the rapid transportation of troops.

ordinary foods, The mother says in
telling OF the case:
1t was all two doctors could Go to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally took him
into the country and tried new milk
and that was no better for him. His
Grandma finally suggested Grape-N Nuts,
and / am thankful l adopted the food
for he commenced to get better right
away and would not eat anything else.
He commenced to get fleshy and his
cheeks like red roses and now he is en-
tlrely we'll.
Il took him to Matamoras on a visit
and every place we went to stay to eat
he called for Grape-Nuts and would
have to explain how he came TO call for
1t as 1t was his main food.
"The names of the physicians who at
tended the baby are DR.. Eddy Of this
town and DR.. Geo. Gale OF Newport, O..

SIEGE HAS BEGUN.

st. Petersburg May "A dis
patch received last night says that
Port Arthur is cut off from all com
munication by land, the Japanese hav-
ing disembarked in it's rear, occupied
the railroad and cut the telegraph.
Japanese troops swarming across
the narrow neck of the Liao-Tung pc
ninsula, the railroad and telegraph
communications cut and the Russian
Gibraltar isolated and left to it's own
resources-all this the Russians seem
to accept with great stoicism.
Complete details of the landing are
lacking, owing to the interruption of
communication. No resistance was
made, the few Cossacks who observed
the movement retiring when the war
ships shel!ed the shore preparatory to
Decentralization. Ten thousand men
were put ashore Thursday and the
Decentralization was proceeding on
Thursday at the time communication
ceased.
1t is reported that the Japanese
ships bombarded Port Arthur on the
morning Of May 6 and succeeded at
least in closing the entrance, but no
official confirmation of the latter
statement can be obtained.
