report showed that in the past four years

illogical schools, one for men and one
women, During the last year he ap-
pointed / 1,179 ministers and 575 Christian
women to work in his country. He con-
cluded his remarks with the following
words: "Our sun has risen in India never
to set again. We ask that all remember

split on their report. Judge Lawrence,

which recommended that us the pres
ident had for reasons of his own signed
the bill, the matter be filed and nothing
be done.
DIR, Leonard denounced the president
and congress and said the Chinese had
the same right here as other foreigners.
DIR. Edwards, of Chicago, said it was
q political measure. 1t was rushed
through Democratic house, passed by
our noble senators and signed by our
well nigh unimpeachable president
solely for political effect. He moved to
refer it to the committee on missions.
| DR.. Payne, of Cincinnati, believed the
conference should show that it does not
approve such political measure, and
moved to send the matter to the church
committee. He was wildly applauded.
DR.. Buckley denounced all reference
to politics. Finally the matter was re-
ferred to special committee.

and iowa Get a Share of the
Flood.
CHICAGO, May 7.-Rain storms with
out parallel in recent years have pre-
vailed throughout the western country
for two days, and the amount of dam
age done is enormous. Traffic on the
Rock Island road between Joliet and
the Mississippi river has been suspended
owing TO the numerous washouts along
that portion of the line, with the result
that the entire system is practically tied
up.
At Joliet hundreds of families had to
quit their homes and go to the bluffs,
fearful that the dam would go out in
which case the middle of the city would
ibe placed under water. The factories
have from one to nine feet of water in
them.
In this city the rain has come down in
torrents, and the sewers and the river
have been pouring volumes of sewage
into the lake, very near the point where
the city's water supply is obtained.
Easements in every district in the city
were flooded, the Ozark flats at Thirty
ninth and Wabash avenue being the
worst sufferer, with five feet of water.
The Worst i'm Thirty-five Years.
A dispatch from La Sale, TIs., re-
ports the greatest food known in the
Illinois valley for thirty-fve years. The
water is about twenty feet above low
water mark Several factories have
been compelled to suspend on account
of the food. Altogether IA good deal Of
damage has been done, which will ag
.gregate many thousands of dollars.
Naperyille, His, reports that the Du
Page river has risen four feet and has
flooded the works in the vicinity.
Fifty miles west of Peoria, Ills, on the

Parts of the city have been submerged,
