BAPTIST MISSIONARIES.
MANY DIFFICULTIES ENCOUN
TERED IN FOREIGN FIELDS.
National Feeling Retards the Work in
Japan-The Blacks of Africa Want
White Preachers-China's Macedonian
Cry.

CINCINNATI, May 2b.-At this morn
ing's session of the American Baptist
missionary union, work in different mis-
sionary fields was discussed. The com.
mittee on place and preacher report
Philadelphia for next year, and Rev. W.
w. Boyd, of New Jersey, as preacher.
Reports of work in Africa, Ja-
pan, Burmah and many other
places were made. They invariably
showed advancement. Rev. w. F. Tay-
lor, of Indianapolis, in speaking Of
Japan, said the people OF that country
had become conscious of their strength
Japan for the Japanese" is the cry.
This has proved hindrance to mis-
sionary work, but is not altogether an
evil. In Africa, Rev. Mr.. Burtrick said,
there is disappointment in securing col
ored missionaries, and in securing a well
come for them there. The Africans
want white missionaries.
At the closing session this afternoon
officers were elected. Rev. Geo. w.
Northrup, of Illinois, president; Rev.
H. S. Burrage, of Maine, recording Sec
retary.
A number of addresses were made by
missionaries who were present. The COM
mittee on China reported urging that pas
tors lead their people in mission studies ;
that one hundred men be sent out as the
Baptists' ratio of the one thousand
asked in the Shanghai conference.
Missionary Berchet, of China, gave
interesting facts as a medical mission ary,
and urged larger attention to this phase
OF mission work and influence, pleading
that each station have medical mis-
sionary. Rev. DR.. White, of Minnesota,
offered resolution to this effect, which
was adopted.
DR.. Baldwin read report on European
missions. "Romanism," he said, lis a
great hindrance to the cross. The mis-
sionaries in these peculiarly difficult
fields call for large sympathy"
Several missionaries spoke on the
same subject.
This afternoon joint meeting of the
mission society of women was held, and
many addresses were made setting forth
the work to be performed.
In the evening, although the mis-
sionary union had formally adjourned,
Pixies opera house was filled with an
attentive audience, DIR. Yambie, with
the aid of stereoscope, giving illustra-
tions of many mission fields and
workers. The week of anniversary meet
ing was then concluded with benedic-
tion by Rev. DIR. Duncan.

THE MAN FOR THE PLACE,
MAxwELL'S FATE STILL HANGING
IN THE BALANCE.
Protege-The San Francisco Worlds
Fair Association Endorses Him.

CHICAGO. May 26.-The confirmation
OF Maxwell, as chief of the horticultural
bureau of the worlds fair, still hangs
fire. Thelspecial committee has not yet
reported. Commissioner De Young
writes from San Francisco that the state
ments made against Maxwell have given
his friends in California much annoy
ance. De Young has made an inyesti-
cation since his return to the coast, and
fnds that Maxwell has had general
experience in horticultural matters, and
is undoubtedly the man for the place.
SAN Francisco, May 26.-At a meet
ing of the executive committee of the
San Francisco worlds fair association
today, there was considerable discussion
over the proposition to endorse the ap-
pointment of Walter S. Maxwell as chief
of the bureau of horticulture of the
worlds Columbian exposition. Among
those who spoke were M. HI. DeYoung,
M. M. Estee, Irving M. Scott and Mr..
Jacobs. A resolution endorsing Max
well was finally adopted, with one dis
senting voice, that of Mr.. Estee.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The seal fish
cries matter was considered at cabinet
meeting today at length, but no conclu-
sion was reached. Secretary Foster
and the assistant secretary of
state will have a special confer
ence with the president tomorrow, with
the view of determining plan of action.
The president fully appreciates the ne
cessity for prompt action in the matter,
and is doing all in his power to arrange
that there may be no further delay in
the departure of the revenue cutters to
the Bering sea, for the purpose of pro-
tecting the interests Of the United States.
If these vessels were to start now they
would not reach the fisheries until the
middle OF June or fifteen days after the
opening of the season, and it is under
stood that fifty-nine poaching vessels
are now in the vicinity of the
Bering sea, threatening the pursuit and
slaughter OF seals. The North American
commercial company's steamer left San
Francisco for the seal islands about a
week ago, and will probably arrive there
by the end of the month, when en-
ployees of the company will at once
proceed to take seals and continue to
do so until the entire number allowed
by the law is secured, unless some order
is received from the officials at Wash
ington to the contrary.

The New Orleans Grand Jury Finds Tha

The New Orleans Grand Jury Finds That
Bribers Cannot Be Punished.
New ORLEANS, May 26.-The grand
jury has found an indictment against
McCrystal and Cooney, two of O'Mal
ley's assistants, for attempting to bribe
jurors. But the grand jury is not in a
pleasant frame of mind, for after inves-
tigating bribery for over week it has
made the discovery that there is no law
to punish offenders. The bribery act
covering the matter has no penal clause.
When the case of Deputy Sheriff
White, charged with bribery in connec-
ton with the Hennessy case, was called
today, Leon Burthe, the principal wit
ness for the state, was found to be miss
ing. Inquiry elected the fact that he
had gone to St. Louis after the summons
was served on him. The shipping away
of the principal witness in the first of
the bribery cases called, is regarded as
strong circumstantial evidence against
the accused.

which Henry Allen, nephew of Com

slice of the estate left by the latter.
Allen states that by his un-

the commodore's young widow and ten
children (by the first wife) which he
left, but the rest of the estate, $125 200,

The mother of the plaintiff began con-

Pending further discussion the hour
for adjournment left the matter yet to
be settled. The admissions already
made by Judge Hand imply a saving of
not less than $50, 900 year, as the result
of following Simmons's recommends

rest OF his recommendation are adopted,
a saving OF at least $50, 900 annually will

SMASHED THE RECORD.

The Present Term of the Supreme Court
A Business One.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The United
States supreme court, during the term
ending tomorrow, will have completely
smashed the previous high rec
ord of cases disposed OF at one
term of the court. settling 617
cases against 470, which heretofore
has been the largest number passed upon
at single term. The number of cases
presented sunusually large, but of them
only fifteen, which have been argued, go
over until next term for decision. 1t is
probable that the opinions in these cases
will be written for announcement soon
after the court reconvenes.
