TmE GaEaT CoSsUMxAIIOs Our readers
will observe from the extraordinary an

mon with the country at large, they have

domain Of partial achievement into that Of
full and triumphant accomplishment.

AMERICAN PTIsT MISSIONARY
UNIoN.-This association is now in ses.
sion at Philadelphia. Owing to the dit:
ficulties between the Executive Board
located in Boston, and the missionaries
in Burmah, the annual receipts have de-
creased from $4,000 to S97, 900. which
state Of things has necessitated disas-
trous retrenchments. From Greece and
Africa the missionaries have been with
drawn, while those in India are laboriro
only in feeble manner. The present
session is presided over by Hon. Ira
Harris Of New York. According to the
annual report, the receipts for the year
from all sources amounted to $97, 1903 II.
and the expenditures $97,797 Ga, and
the amount of appropriations remaining
unpaid is $16,382 50, making, with pre-
vious liabilities, total amount of liabi-
lities of $53,376 II.

Tariff in the House.

On Monday last Mr.. Morris, of Pennsyl-
vania, offered a resolution in the House
of Representatives instructing the Com
mittee of Ways and Means in favor of
revision of the present tariff with
view, among other changes Of so aug
meuting the duties on articles coming in
competition with domestic manufactures
and products as to afford increased pro-
lection to American industry and labor"
Its reception was objected to by the ad-
ministration side, and Mr. Morris moved
a suspension of the rules, upon which
the yeas and nays were ordered. As this
was as fair test vote upon the subject
of increasing the protective features of
the present tariff as is likely TO be had
during the present Congress, we add the
analysis of it given by the Washington
correspondent of the philadelphia En-
quirer:
"The yeas were eighty-six--the nays
one hundred and one. The yeas were
composed of seventy-one Northern Re-
pu5licans and Americans, eight Northern
Democrats, and seven Southern Ameri-
cans. The nays comprised sixty-five
Southern Democrats, twenty-nine North
ern Democrats, and seven Republicans
and Americans. Politically divided, all
the Democrats but eight voted against
the proposition, and all the Republicans
and Americans but seven voted in favor
of it. Geographically divided, seventy
nine Northern men voted in favor of,
and thirty-two against the proposition !;
while sixty-nine Southern members voted
against, and only seven in favor of it,
James B. Clay, son of the founder of
the american System" being, of course,
much greater and wiser man than his
father, voted against the measure !''

A STRANGE EvENTFUL HIsToRY-
Quite recently a steamer from Green riv-
er landed at Evansville, Ind, man past
80 years of age, blind, and paralyzed,
without friends, and no one knowing
from whence he came or where he was
going. A benevolent negress gave him
shelter in her cabin, and he died on Thurs
day.
After death, papers were found on his
person which proved the neglected suf-
ferer to be DR.. John Pollock Holmes,
member of the College of Surgeons.
London, and formerly for sixteen years
in the employ of the Hudson Bay Com
pany, the friend of Capt. Parry, the Ar
tic navigator, and the associate of many
of the first people of England. He was
celebrated as an inventor, and among his
effects were two large gold medals awar-
ded him by medical societies for his val
liable invention of obstetrical and surgi-
cal instrument. When in the Hudson
Bay employ he obtained information
which enabled him to render Capt. Par
ry good service in the manufacture of
pemican for the exploring expedition, for
which Capt. T. expresses many obliga-
tions, and the Admiralty voted DR..
Holmes an acknowledgement of 9150.
The old man had letters from eminent
gentlemen in Tennessee and Mississippi,
and was evidently person of correct
habits and great intelligence. The sum
OF $3.50 was concealed on his person land
in his last moments he spoke of sister,
but gaveno clue to her name or residence
or that Of friend on earth. His case
is a painful lesson of the sad vicisitudes
Of life.
