The American board.

The SOth annual meeting of the American
Board of Commissioners of Foreign Mis-
sions, held in New York last week. was
characterized by some heated debates and
by blistering criticism of the present man
agcment of that time honored institution
hut the outcome would seem on the whole
to have been on the side of harmony and
liberation. Indignant protests, received
with warm aud protracted applause, were
made against the existing policy of the
prudential committee, which sets up such a
rigid doctrnal standard on the question of
future probation keeps the brightest and
most earnest young preachers out of the
missionary field. One speaker, DIR. Griflis
of Boston, declared it to be notorious fact
in Boston could not he sent into the foreign
field, if they should desire to 90, because of
the disqualification of their theological be-
lief"
1t was urged that there is growing I'M
rest among the churches, that they are be-
coming indifferent to the work of the board
and that they ought to be given direct
and positive voice in its management 1t
appears to be fact that the finances of
the board have suffered because of the dis
approval by many of the churches of the
policy pursued by Secretary Alden An
attempt was made to drop from the pru-
dental committee Rev. Chas. A. Dickinson,
the pastor of the Berkeley street church,
Boston, which during the past year quail
fled Mr.. Noyes a missionary and sent him
into the field ON its own account but the
attempt proved unsuccessful. 1t may be
said, however, that on the whole the under
lying spirit of the meeting was one of earn
eStness and devotion, and at some of the
sessions-notably the one on Wednesday
evenng-the old time missionary fervor was
revived, and the feeling rose to state OF
real exaltation.
1t was DIR. George Leon Walker who sug
gested a way out of the differences and dis.
agreements for the time being at least, by
moving the appointment of q committee of
nine "to inquire into the methods of ad
ministration pursued at the missionary
rooms in Boston, to recommend any chang

but who also remember the eloquent appea

The closing session was marked by an

Claus Spreckes, the sugar retiner, says
his Philadelphia refinery is now ready to
begin turning out 200, 900 pounds of sugar
day, and by next February it will be
making 2,0O0 600 pounds day, and he will
then double its capacity to 1 900 900 pounds
a day. He will build refinery at New
Orleans with capacity Of 200, 900 pounds
a day, and this, with his San Francisco re
tinery, which turns out | 200, 900 pounds a
day, will make his daily product 5000, 600
pounds Mr. Spreckes still wears his war
paint, and declares that he will fight the
sugar trust to the bitter end. The trust, he
says produces 5000, 600 pounds day. so
that when he gets fully started he will turn
out three fourths of the entire amount of
the present supply-"and | shall sell it,
too, Mr. Spreckels adds significantly.
The sugar market is now in democrat
lied condition. There was a drop Tuesday
in the price of refined sugar of one eighth
of a cent pound, making the price cents.
Every decline Of one eighth means de
crease in the income of the trust of so, 600
day, and Mr.. Spreckels looks for a drop
Of a full cent during the next 30 days, rep
resenting a cut in the trust profits of $50, 900
day. There has been a big drop in the
price of sugar trust certificates, and their
holders are anxious to unload The trust
is loaded up with an immense stock of raw
sugar, for which it paid p cents pound
more than the present market price, and
it looks as if the day of reckoning for this
unrighteous monopoly, which sought to
force enormous gains out of the prime
necessities Of life, had come sooner than
ANYBODY anticipated

People who read of abandoned farms
in Vermont should not gather the impress
sion that these farms are abandoned in the
sense that they have no owners, and are

simply unoccupied, as We have heretofore
explained Their owners no longer live

in this way, but their occupation and cult

The literature growing out of Corporal
Tanners brief term of office as pension
commissioner is getting TO be rather volumi-
nous, Last Saturday publication was made
for the first time of Secretary Mobiles letter
Ia Mr.. Tanner written July II in regard
to the ''rerated ~ pension cases. Tanner had
raised the question of authority betw een
himself and the secretary Of the interior,
and Mr., Noble told him plainly that the pow
er which he claimed did not exist under the
law. The cases of socalled "rerated "
pensions, the secretary continues were, ac-
cording Ia Tanners own admission, cases
of arbitrary increase, and each one of the
ten cases was that of an employee of the
pensions bureau, who was drawing good
salary from the government and could well
afford to wait until less fortunate claimants
had been given chance.
After Analysing some of these cases, the
secretary says he proposes To call halt long
enough for at least an inspection, and he
significantly adds 1T may be that this
government is strong and great, and has at
IT. command a surplus that no other nation
ha- ever had but if sums of money 10 the
