American Board of Missions.


MINNEAPOLIS, October 10th-The Amer
ican Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions this morning listened to report
of the Committee of Thirteen on organiza-
ton. This committee has been at work
for three years trying to get the opinion of
the congregations of the churches at large
as to whether change in the form of the
Boards organization, so as to make it
more democratic and representative, was
advisable. The committee, while it ad-
mitted its efforts in this direction were
somewhat unsatisfactory, recommended no
change.
This afternoon, among others, Rev. T.
E. Clapp, of Oregon, was elected mem
Der of the corporate body. All the old
officers were reelected unanimously.
The next meeting will be held at Pitts
field.
New Silver Notes.
New YORK, October 10th.-A special from
Washington says the Treasury Department
is receiving continual complaints from all
parts of the country that the supply of
small notes is insufficient for the transac-
ton of business. At the same time the ag-
gregate circulation of all sorts is S62 600 900
more than it was one month ago. The sill
yer bill brought less relief than was hoped
for, largely because the facilities of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing were
insufficient. Silver notes of $40 denomina-
ton are now being delivered to the depart
ment at the rate of S250,000 daily. The
Treasury has cut off the exchange of large
notes through the Sub Treasury at New
York.

Railway Employees Federation concluded

and after promise on the part OF Re-
ceiver Dillingham; that the strikers would
be reinstated, the conference ended and the
men will return to work.
