TOO MUCH sLAsHING
is Opposed in the Appropriations

is Opposed in the Appropriations
for Mission Work.
The board of home and foreign NJ. E.
missions continues to grind at " esley
Methodist church, the very character
of the work, involving, as 1t does, tue
expenditure of so much money, making
progress extremely slow.
Yesterday morning the board took up
the consideration of the mission needs
in South America and Mexico. The
chair was occupied by Bishop Mallalieu.
ana the special committee on the latter
submitted its report. The committee
recommended the total amount of last
years appropriation be scaled one
ninth, and that S2,250 of the Mexican
appropriation be given to the South
American work. This would have given
Mexico $780, for the work and $500
for property, aud South America $50, l23
year South America had for all pur-
poses $64, $40 and Mexico S64, $50.
The report was objected to by DR..
Buckley for the reason that he was OPP
posed to much scaling, and. besides, he
did not see the prOpriety of taking
81, 250 from Mexico to give it to South
America.
Bishop Newman made an earnest
plea for the continuance of full forces
III South America. A discussion en-
sued, and Bishop Winden and Elder
Chatfee wanted the report recommitted.
when Bishop Fowler got in one of
his eloquent pleas for renewal of zeal
in Mexico.
He appealed for an appropriation for
the mission work at Guanahuata, with
which locality he became familiar dur
ing Mrs. FOWler's illness in Mexico. He
recited few facts about the work that
has already been accomplished there,
and of the dangers that threaten it. He
said the mission was likely to find itself
homeless in the near future, and adj
vlsed that an appropriation be made to
purchase the present quarters, as the
owner is under the influence of the
priests, and is being strongly urged to
turn them out. The bishop moved that
5000 be appropriated for the purpose
of purchasing the property, and the
motion prevailed. More discussion fol-
lowed, and when the time for adjourn
ment came the matter was disposed of
by recOmmitting it and adding to the
committee Bishop Alden and DR..
Speare.
Yesterday afternoon the committee to
whom the matter of South America and
Mexico work was referred made its re-
port. 1t recommended that $51.67l be
appropriated for the South American
work, the sum to be redistributed by the
South American committee and the
resident bishop, under the approval of
the board, and $50, 37S for all purposes in
Mexico. The report was adopted.
The following sums were appropriated
for foreign missions: Africa, 1898. SlO.-
02O; 1894. 5000. North Germany, 1898,
Sl7,567; 1894, $4,000. South Germany,
1898, S14, 533; 1894. $4,000. Switzerland,
1898, $4,000: 1898. 5000. Norway, 1898,
Sl5,650; 1894, $4,000. Sweden, 1893,
So, 800; 1894, $4,000. Denmark, 1898,
$4,000; 1894, $4,000. Finland and st.
Petersburg. 1893, 81, 754; 1884, s., S72.
The committee on new work and that
on the Hawaiian Islands, together with
several miscellaneous committees on
appropriations. have yet to report, and
it is thought the work Of the session
may be finished today.
