Mr.. Talmage expects to reach here

The FrancO.Americans.

NEW YORK, October l9.-The French
residents Of New York, at meeting last
evening, appointed a numerous commit
tee to solicit subscriptions among the
Franco American population of the
United States, for the completion of the
colossal statue of Liberty. The sub
scription books were opened, and many
subscriptions received.
General Hancock,
In obedience to orders received from
Washington, is busy in directing the dis
position of the troops in his command.
He has issued orders to the following
companies to proceed at once to Column

The Herald on An Eastern War,
Editorially commenting upon the
trouble in Turkey, the Herald saws ap-
pearances indicate that the question IS
likely to be left to the soldiers, and that
diplomacy, whion has often saved the
Ottoman Empire from an impending des-
tiny. has reached the end Of its rope.
In regard to the consequence of this
war, the Herald says there can be no
doubt that it will be Of great advantage
to this country, as it will render mac.
cessible all the Black Sea ports. The
grain countries of the Danube and of
Southern Russia will cease to add
their great contributions to the supply
OF the markets Of Europe, and the
deficiency must be made up from this
country. There will be great demand

Missionary Progress.

In fifty years the number of native
Christians connected with the missions
of European and American socities has
increased from 10000 ia 1925 to 900, ,O0(
in 1875. And this, with good reason, is
claimed to be an underestimate. Al
no time has the work been more pros.
porous than at present. Never before
have heather men and women been
more willing to listen to the preaching
of the gospel, and everywhere the
preaching is accompanied by the pow.
er of the Holy Spirit. At the full tide
of success the work is checked by de-
crease in the income for its support.
There has not been an extravagapt
outlay upon the Missions demanding
an application of restrictive measures.
The entire outlay of the Christians of
the United States upon Foreign Mis-
sions does not exceed two millions of
dollars annually. The following is
such record of the expenditures as
we have at hand: Methodist Board,
including a full share of the cost of ad-
ministration, ,S342 900; American Board,
$40, 900; Presbyterian-North, $3.50, 900;
Presbyterian--South, $4,000; United
Presbyterian, S67 900; Baptist, $242, ,OOO;
Episccpalian, $4,000. Total, 81, l,74s,-
900. The amount expended by Bible
and Tract Societies, and by churches,
whose reports we have not before us,
will not carry the total above two mil
lions ofdollars. The outlay has been
stated as being from three to fonr mil
lions, but such a statement is certainly
incorrect. There are about four mil
lions of communicants connected with
the evangelical churches of the United
States. They have given about fifty
cents each, yearly, for the support of
Missions to the heather. They are to-
day refusing to give that very moder-
ate amount.
