THE SAN. FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, -MAY 8, 1904 ey PORT ARTHIR'S | LAST MESSAGE Press Dispatch Covering Sit- uation Up to Time When Communication Is Severed STOESSEL IS DEFIANT Issues Order Calling Upon the Garrison to Fight. to the Last in Town’s Defense ADVERTISEMENTS. PORT ARTHUR, Friday, May 6 (delayed in transmission).—Six of the enemy’s cruisers are continually In sight off Port Arthur. H A parade of the garrison here was held to-day in honor of the Empress’ | nameday. Lieutenant General Stoes- sel in a speech to the troops alluded to the latest phase of the war, by which Port Arthur is threatened on the land side, and expressed his firm confidence in the endurance of the defenders of the peninsula. The general's address was recelved with cheers by the as- sembled soldiers and sailors. Lieutenant General Stoessel has is- sued an order to the troops of his command as follows: “On April 830 and May 1 the enemy crossed the Yalu River in great force and our troops fell back to positions which had been previously selected. Yesterday the enemy effected an im- | portant landing on the Liaotunsg Peninsula, south of Pitzewo, and In the | Vicity of Kinchow Bay. Now our work is beginning. Naturally, the enemy will destroy raiflway communication and endeavor to drive our troops back | to Port Arthur and besiege this fort- | ress, Russia’s bulwark in the Far East. | We will defend it until the arrival of the troops which are coming to re- lieve us. “I consider it my duty to call upon you to display unceasing vigilance and caution and you must be ready at all | times to demean yourself toward your | general with the dignity and order be- seeming the glorious troops of Russia. No matter what happens, you must not lose your heads, but remember | that everything is possible in war, and that we shall be able, with God’s help, Our STOVE DEPARTMENT has not béen talked about for a month, so we are offering a special this week that you won't forget for a year—a big “IMPERIAL RANGE” at what would be cost te any firm that did not buy in carload lots.

A ! | resolution presented by the Rev. J. W. | E. Bowen, celored candidate for Bishop | { lution by the Rev. of Chattanooga, Tenn., struck a re- sponsive chord, and ‘the conference adopted it by a standing vote,and re- ferred it to the committee on episco- pacy, with instructions to prepare a memorial giving appropriate expression of honor and respect. \ The session of the General Confer- | ence was presided over to-day by Bishop Willar F. Mallalieu, and a large number of resolutions from the yarious annual conferences were re- ceived, discussed and referred to the proper committees. Debate on several of these resolutions brought out ex- pressions of opinion from many of the leading ministers and laymen, A reso- C. B. Perkins of San Francisco gave promise for a brief | period of an interesting forensic con- | test, but a motion by the Rev. Dr. | | James M. Buckley to lay on the table jcut the matter short. | tions from printing g}l adveritsements The resolution | was to the effect that the episcopacy committee, which will consider the question of retiring, increasing or di- minishing the number of Bishops to be eleeted, be instructed to hold open ses- | =ions, as the rule adopted to hold exec- | utive sessions “aroused -suspicion in | the minds of many brethren that un- | complimentary things may be said of some of our honored Bishops.” A score of delegates were on their feet in an instant, clamoring for recognition by the chair, Bishap Mallalieu recognized Dr. Buckley, however, and upon his motion the matter was tabled. Another resolution which also was promptly tabled, and which doubtless would have brought out some interest- | ing debate. if allowed to be discussed, was by the Rev. Dr. Clippinger of In- diana, who wished the conference to adopt a rule forbidding church publica- relating to the sale of individual com- munion cups. The conference adjourned at noon to meet next Monday morning at 9| o'clock. % { Regarding the question’ of restoring | the time limit in the tenure of pastors, ' which up torfour years ago was a rule characteristic of the Methodist : denomination, sentiment seems to be about evenly divided. The Rev. Dr. | Jesse Bowman Young of Cincinnat, | one of the best posted delegates in the ' present conference, said to-day: “It does not seem at this éarly’ stage | of the session that the conference is ready to restore a time limit to the pastorate after only four years of ex- | periment with the present method. ‘There are now before the committee on itinerancy petitions and memorlnls] from various lay and clerical confer- | ences pro and con, some asking and others protesting against any change.

There will be mass meet- ings at the conference hall to-morrow afternoon and evening, when addresses will be made by many prominent mem- bers of the conference. number of others scattered throughout the mountain ranches and stock camps. The detectives are making their way toward Landusky, where, according to reports which reached here to-night, a cowboy supposed to be the notorfous | outlaw is in full flight. A rancher near Landusky had a horse | stolen from its stall several nights ago, i but upon entering the barn yesterday | morning he was surprised to find the | lost animal standing in the manger with the saddle still on. The animal was breathing heavily and was covered with foam and dirt, indicating a hard | and long drive. Going quickly to the| door of the stable, the rancher dis- covered a man in the garb of a cowboy, carrying a rifle, disappearing in the brush. Around the fugitive’s waist were strapped two revolvers. The returning of the stolen horse in | such a manner s a favorite trick of | | Curry, the outlaw having acted sim- | | flarly in this section on two other oc-| | castans. i Two Men Lose Watches. Fred Richards reported to the po- lice last night that he was robbed on the water front early yesterday morn- ing. Richards was drunk and claims that two men stood him up and took a valuable watch and chain from him. D. L. Heape of 1771 Jackson Street re- ported the burglarizing of his room Friday night. He lost a watch and several toilet articles. e E. H.

Liquozone is the result of a process which, for more than 20 years, has been the constant subject of scientific and chemical research. Its virtues are derived solely from gas—Ilargely oxy- gen gas—by a procgss requiring im- mense apparatus and 14 days’ time. Each cubic inch of Liquozone rep- resents the virtues of 12350 cubic mcFes of the gas. The result is a product which does what oxygen does. Oxygen is the nerve food, the blood food, the scav- enger of the blood. It is the very source of vitality, the most essential element of life. But oxygen is a_gas and unstable, while Liquozone is fixed and concentrated. It vets an excess of oxygen virtues into the blood, to go wherever the blood goe:. The re- sult is a vitalizing tonic with which no other known product can compare. _ But the great value of Ligquozone lies in the fact that it kills germs in the ADVERTISEMINTS. | There is nothing eise known which | body without killing the tissues, too.{ | will do that. Any drug that kills | germs is a poison, and it cannot be taken internall For that reason i medicine is practically ‘helpless " in’} 1 g s0 n that we publish on bottle an offer of | $1000 for a dise germ that it cannot kill. The reason is that germs arey veget , and an excess of oxygen— the very life of an animal—is deadly to vegetal matter.
