CHICAGO, Oct. THE American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions
reconvened this morning. The tellers re-
ported the election of the entire ticket for
officers voted ON last night. Then the
battle between the Conservatives and
Liberals began.
Rev. DR.. Storrs, who had been elected
President, arose and said he was unwill-
ing to accept the position until the board
had defined its position and the terms
under which missionaries were to be sent
abroad. Acting under the rules, made at
the meeting at New York and Mime
apolis, the board had felt it was not iusti-
fed in sending out young men to teach
the heathen the doctrine of probation
after death. He was willing to interpret
the rules literally and commission men
who would say they knew nothing as to
post mortem salvation, leaving the Ques-
ton to God, but he could not accept the
Presidency if the board was to allow mis-
sionaries to teach that kind of salvation
affirmatively.
A resolution was introduced reaffirm-
ing the New York and Minneapolis rules,
literally applied.
L IOlcSSOE GllG Oh auUOV6r, leader OF
the Liberals, declared the rules had not
been literally interpreted. He said Lib
eral men who had been fitted for the
ministry had been excluded from mis-
sionary work. The standard of work had
been steadily lowered for years.
The matter was further discussed at
length by Joseph Cook and DIR. Web of
the Conservatives and DIR. Quint and DR..
Washington GLADDEN. of the Liberals and
others.
The resolution was finally adopted and
DR.. Storrs accepted the Presidency After
some further unimportant business the
board adjourned.

scribing the mission on the Pacific Coast.
| He said when he first went there he ex-
| pected to find nothing but people stepped
in vice and sin, but was glad to find the
young men of the West had not forgotten
| their God.
By unanimous consent of the house.
the Bishop of Kentucky offered resolu-
tions to give the several missionaries
| supreme power in their dioceses. Car
ried.
The missionary address by Bishop Gar
rett requested the young men to leave
their homes and come with him to preach
the word of God in Texas. Bishop Tai
bot of Idaho and Wyoming also spoke.
| AT the afternoon session missionary
addresses were resumed. Bishop Whip
pie of Minnesota spoke at length of his
work among the Indians. Bishop Whit
aker Of Pennsylvania gave his views on
work among the blacks, and the impor-
tance of enlisting more missionaries in
the conduct of a work so well organized.
| He concluded by reading note from an
African chief to the Archbishop OF
| Canterbury. 1t was: "Mr. Archbishop
Send us more gospel and less rum"
