Board of FOREIGN Missions.


LOWELL, Oct. 6.-Before the Board of
Foreign Missions this morning a paper on
Changed relations of foreign MISSIONS was
read by Rev. N. G. Clark. The paper was an
exhaustive review of missionary work for the
last so years, showing how it has grown in
breadth and scope and lost much of the
romance of former days.
Resolutions on the death of Rev. Rufus
Anderson, d. D., were passed and President
Hopkins delivered a feeling and eloquent tri-
butte to his memory.
The nominating committee presented list
OF various committees to be appointed.

Juvenile Strike at Fall River.
FALL RIVER, Oct. YESTERDAY noon from
fifty to sixty boys and girls, aged from 10 to 16,
ring spinners at the Pocassett mills struck
thinking their pay was being reduced while
the mule spinners was not. To-day nearly
all are at work again though few are still
out. They gathered around the mill at noon
and by sh outs and beckonings persuaded one
or two to come out again. The strike is not
serious and all the frames will probably be
running tomorrow. The Barnard mills
where the weavers are out on a strike are en-
trely shut down to-day.

months, numbering its victims by hundreds.
The prevalence of the disease attracted the al

In the Eastern States, also, but as rule the
public at large has as yet had little or no OBJ

OF the two inventions is the best, or whether
either OF them is worth anything or not.

$4,000 which she and another sister sustained

aroused tle atJenIioh OF Une country; and
Whereas, foreign lines of ocean steamships
are multiplying and transacting business in
which our sailing ships were formerly engaged
and iron ships are superSeding wooden in
many important trades; and
Whereas, this change in the mode of trans
portation and in the construction of vessels has
contributed largely to the decay Of our ship
ping interests; and
Whereas, it is of the highest Importance to
the welfare and safety of the Nation that
measures should be Immediately adopted by
our Cove rnment that will assist in the restora-
non OF our commerce and encourage our ship
owners by enabling them to compete with
these OF other countries, therefore be it
Resolved, By this convention of ship owners and
merchants of the United States assembled for the
purpose of taking action on these important in
terests, - =
1st-That we heartily approve the bill entitled
An aet TO repeal and amend certain acts pertain
Ing to the shipment and discharge Of seamen, said
bill having been presented in the House of Repre-
sentatives. May s, 1879, by VIM. Claflin of Massa-
and referred to the committee on com
ment of the New York Chamber Of Commerc aoi tSe
Merchants Exchange, the New England Ship
owners Association and Boston Board Of Trade.
2d-That permission should be granted to take
goods of foreign production manufacture out of
bond free of duty when such goods are to be taken
as stores on board of any ship bound from port in
the United States to a foreign port.
3d-That property as invested in shipping derives
its protection from the government Of the United
States and said property s subject to taxation by
the government it should be exempt from all local
and municipal taxation by special act OF Congress,
leaving It's income only subject to such taxation.
4th-That all compulsory pilotage be abandoned
in the United States
5th-That the government assist in the establish
ment and maintenance of American lines of steam
ships from our own ports to important foreign ports
by the payment OF proper sums of money for the
transportion OF mails to such lines as will render
the most effective service, and without which sub
stantial aid such lines important to the progress
aud prosperity of the nation, cannot exist in COM
petition with the subsidized steam fleets of other
countries.
6th-That results have clearly and forcibly PROV
en- that our shipping cannot prosper or even main
tain itself in competition with the navigation of
other maritime peoples unless it is placed upon an
equal footing, both as regards the original COST eA-
pense of equipment and support at sea. Therefore
we call upon the government to repeal the naviga-
ton laws restricting the registry of vessels to such
bnlt in the United States, but with the pro-
viso that all vessels of foreign build owned by citi
zens of the United States aud sailing under the flag
of the United States shall be excluded forever from
the coasting or inland trade,
