CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTO: WASHINGTON, May 5. dred retired army officers will soon be- gin to draw increased pay as the fruits of wholesale legislation by the last Congress. Judge Advocate General Da- vis has rendered an opinion to Secre- tary Taft that those officers below the rank of brigadier general who served creditably in the Civil War and have since been retired may at once be given the rank and pay of the next higher grade, as provided by the army appro- priation bill. Those who served in the Civil War and shall hereafter be re- tired will be given the rank and pay of the next higher grade when they leave the active lis Secretary Taft will probably effect thie wholesale promotion through a blanket order affecting all the officers s0 benefited. Much scanning of records is necessary, however, as it is expressly ulated that the service in the Civil must have been creditable. War Department is not much in- to regard ordinary breaches of pline not serious enough to merit court-martial T as detracting from a creditable record. ————— COURT OF CLAIMS GIVES JUDGMENT FOR UNCLE SAM Decides That the Government Right- fully Collected Duties in the Dis- puted Philippine Cases.

He was will- | ing, he said, to see any man elevated | to episcopal honors, regardless of color, | when that man should attain to such worth and distinction as would war- rant this high recognition. A resoluticn was offered by the Rev. Horace Jacobs of the Central Pennsyl- | vania Conference to request the pub- lishers of the Daily Christian Advo- cate, the official organ of the confer- | ence, to withdraw from its advertising | columns all reference to Sunday news- | | papers. One of the publishers of the | Advocate gave assurance to the con- | ference that if the resolution should be | withdrawn there would be no further cause for complaint on that score, | which was taken to mean that Sunday ' newspaper advertisements would not be | accepted hereafter.

NO VACANCIEN AT EXPOSITION Secretary Announces That All Departments Are Re- ducing Number of Help MANY ROYAL VISITORS ‘Dedication of the German Building Is Attended by Prince Hohenlohe’s Party| | ST. LOUIS, May 5—The maximum of laborers employed on the World‘li | Fair grounds has been reached and | from now on the number will be di- minished daily as the exposition ap- | proaches completion. | Secretary Stevens to-night made the | following statement: i Instéad of having places for mere salaried | employes, the various departments of the expo- sition are now every day rapidly reducing the number heretofore employed. Very soon hun- dreds will have been laid off. *By making this fact generally known the press will save many worthy people from wasting their time and money and at the same time confer a favor on much worried exposition chiefs. A false notion that there are still vanacies to be filled In the service bf the exposition is bringing many young jeople from a distance to be disappointed in their hope of enjoying the exposition on & free pass and a comfortable salary. A letter was received to-day from Prince Kalanianaole of Hawaij, an- nouncing that fcrmer Queen Liliuokal- ani, Princess Kalanianaole and himself would arrive within a few days to spend several weeks visiting the expo- sition. The feature of to-day’s programme was the dedication of the German building, which was attended by Prince Hohenlohe, the Princess Elizabeth Ho- henlohe, his sister; Prince Ratibor, cousin of Prince Hohenlohe; the Prin- cess Ratibor, sister of Prince Ratibor, and Prince Victor Ratibor, the latter's nephew. Several members of the royal party will proceed to California after visiting the exposition for several days. The reception to-day was held in the Hall of Oak, which contains the bronze statues of former Emperors and reign- ing Princes of Germany. Dr. Theodore Lewald, the German Commissioner to the World's Fair, received the guests. The French section in the Fine Arts Palace was formally opened to-day. The guests were received by M. Andre Saglio, French Commissioner of Fine Arts, who delivered a brief address. Sir Chepg Tung Liang Cheng, Min- ister of China to the United States, arrived in St. Louls from Washington to-day to attend the banquet to be given Friday night by Prince Pu Lun, Imperial Chinese Commissioner Gen- eral to the World's Fair. —_——————— FORMER SAN FRANCISCAN IS ARRESTED IN HONOLULU Thomas I Dillon, an Attorney Well Known Here, Is Accused of Em- bezzling Bankruptcy Funds. HONOLULU, May 5.—Thomas I. Dil- lon, who a number of years ago was assistant City and County Attorney of San Francisco, was arrested to-day on a warrant from the Federal court charging him with the embezzlement of $750 while acting as trustee in bank- ruptey in the case of a Japanese named Kajita. ————————— BOSTON, May 5.—A proposition to memori- alize Corigress in behalf of Canadian réciprocity was defeated to-day in the Massachusetts House of Representatives = — number of pastors refusing to accept their appointments and of churches i refusing to accept their pastors was in- significant. The world-wide scope of the work of the church as represented in the body was indicated by the brief review of the administration of Bishop Moore in China, Korea and Japan; of Bishop Vincent in Europe; of Bishops Joyce and Warren in South America;: of Bishops Thoburn, Warne and Warren in India; Bishop Hartzell in Africa, and of other Bishops who have visited Mex- jco and other countries where missions are maintained. Three features of the last quadren- nium were emphasized as standing out prominently—the twentleth century thank offering movement, Which brought $20,000,000 into the treasury of the church for the work of education, philanthropy and debt paying: thel open-door emergency missionary re- vival, which has inspired the church with new generosity, and the bicenten- nial observances, which all over the English-speaking world commemo- rated the two hundredth anniversary of John Wesley's birth. The American University at Wash- ington was strongly commended, as well as the woman's coliege of Balti- more, which indirectly suffered severe losses during the recent fire in mati city. %he relations between the Methodlstl Episcopal church and the Methodist | Episcopal church South were declared to be growingly fraternal and intimate. A common hymnal, a common cate- chism and a uniform order of service are almost ready for publication, and these will draw the bodies still more closely together. The suggestion was made that some mutual arrangement should be made whereby transfer of ministers and members from one of these denominations to the other should be exnedited and made easy. FOREIGN FIELD SUPERVISION. | The question of supervising foreign | | mission fields—whether by occasional | | visits or general superintendents from this country; by the residence of one | | of them irt a mission fleld for a period | of four years at a time; or by the per- manent supervision of a missionary Bishop, whose episcopal services shall be confined to that particular field— | was urged upon the conference as one | of the most important questions to be | considered. The time limit in the pas- | | torate was referred to as one of the| | matters which would claim attention, | | but no judgment was expressed for or | against the proposition urged in some | auarters for its restoration. It may be recalled that the time limit of a Meth- | | odist pastor was five years until the | General Conference of 1900 removed it | entirely, so that under the present law a pastor is appointed for a year, with indefinite privilege of reappointment. It is understood that some of the Bishops desire a limit of some kind td be re- stored, but the fact that no proposal to reirstate it was made is taken as evi- dence that the Bishops as a body are not ready to recommend its restoration. Warnings were given against the current evils of the time, political cor- ruption, the liquor traffic, the tyranny of trades unionism, the greed of un- scrupulous employers, lynching, the negro question and Mormeonism. A rec- ommendation was made that a new chapter on popular amusements be added to the discipline, admonishing Methodists to guard their spiritual life and to avoid such amusements as have a dangerous or demoralizing tendency. The chapter is led to take- the i place of the pres paragraph number 248, which occasic®:d much discussion | at the General Conference at Chicago four years ago. The address as a whole made a deep impression and was re- ADVERTISEMENTS. BB TALK OF THE TOWN The Tailoring House M S aking San Francisco Famous!
