Report of Various Boards Showing the
work During the Past Year.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-The annual re-
ports of the various church boards made
public to-day, to be taken up by the
Presbyterian assembly from time to
time, show encouraging results in every
branch of the work.
The report of the board of church
erection funds shows that during the
gear there were 329 applications for as
sistance upon which grants were made
aggregating sos, SS1 and loans $61, 1872
This total exceeds any previous year in
the history of the board. More than
one half the churches on the roll do not
contribute to this fund and the board
begins the new year with an empty
treasury and many pressing demands.
The results of tue board of aid for
colleges has not proved disappoint-
ment to the expectations of the church.
During the year the receipts have been
s15, $50 and the sums paid out aggre-
gate 500, $50. Forty institutions have
been assisted and twenty states occu-
pied. The aggregate enrolment of
students is 1902, of whom 2, 795 are en-
gagged in systematic Bible study.
The report of the board in charge of
the missions for freemen shows that
nearly $4,000 annually is being ex-
pended in this direction with good re-
suits. The expenditures last year
amounted to 1893, OO2 while the receipts
were s17s,313. Under this board there
are 152 ordained ministers and $50
churches with a membership of ,29S
and 1912 Sunday school scholars.
During the year the report OF the
board of relief shows that 722 persons
were afforded assistance. ninety-four
new names being placed upon the rolls.
There are seventy-six ministers over 20
years of age retired, the oldest being
"a and thirty-five of the number being
over so. The total appropriation for
this work was 1852, 1872.
The missionary department has Or
gained 992 schools and reorganizea
299, but of this total 255 have ceased to
exist. Into these about $4,000 teachers
and scholars are now gathered.
The publication department has dis

May % Opened High'st LCw'st Closing

The wheat market as stubbOrnly resisted de-
pressing influences today as ii did the sensa-
tional bullish news which failed to cause an ad-
vance Saturday. There were rains in England
and France Sunday which are said to have ef-
fectually broken the long continued drought
1t is expected that as 4 result OF the rains to-
norrow's cables will be lower There was
some buying on the probability Of frost in Kan
sas and Nebraska tonight and it advanced the
orice &c, but the market dropped back again
and closing prices were lower everywhere,
though only Jractionaly lower. The news from
Kansas was as bad as at any time. But, as
vas stated Saturday, Kansas has ceased for
the present to be factor in the situation
Corn declined early on the increased receipts
N the Chicago market the last prices being &c

decrease in the visible and possibly the predic-
don OF frost in the west had something TO do
with ii. Cash prices here we're nc to &c lower

STRIP OPENING.

Secretary Smith Somewhat Perplexed ~ TO
Plan for Opening the Cherokee
Strip.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-''Some time
ago. said Secretary Hoke Smith yes
terday afternoon, 81 said that l was
bound and determined to figure out
some way to open the Cherokee outlet
other than the old-time scampering,
pell-melll, race-horse method popular
in other and former openings To-
day l am bound to confess that
l cannot do it. Every other way
suggested ran slap up against the
law before we got through. After sew.
eral weeks of study must say see no
other way than to open the outlet and
permit the people to make their land
selections the same way they did be-
fore. My people are working night
and day at the preliminaries, and you
can say that we will surely have the
outlet opened by September Is. In
fact expect that will be very near the
opening date.
mo, can not say anything as to
how the opening in its other details
will be managed as we have not fully
perfected our plans. Land-grabbers
and spectators will have hard road
to travel You can say that honest
home-seekers will get their rights this
time
Secretary Smith did not say so, but
the truth is that the present scheme of
opening the strip contemplates only
one land office for the whole
strip. This land Office will not be open
nor transact any business for one
month after the day of opening. Even
then it will not be open for the entire
strip. 1t is proposed to chop up the
strip into small blocks containing a few
townships, and then give each block a
particular and certain day fully adver-
tised before hand on which day men
may file for lands in that particular
block and no other. This will avoid a
rush and permit justice to be done.

MATAAFA SURRENDERS,
The War in Samoa is Over and the Rev.
olution Crushed.
The Rebel Chief Held Prisoner On q
Forefgn Vessel-His Life Saved
Philadelphia May Not Go.

The surrender Of Mataafa and the close
OF the war Of the insurrection in Samoa
were omcialiy communicated to Secretary
Gresham today. The news came in the
form or q brief telegram from United
States Vice Consul Blakelock. It was dated
Apia, July 19. and was telegraphed from
San Francisco yesterday evening. So much
OF II as was made public reads as follows
"Mataafa and his chiefs have surren-
dered and are now prisoners on board of
British and German warships. The war "a
virtually over. Mataafa's life was Ruaran-
teed before he surrendered"
1t is understood that the consul also re-
ported his own course in the matter, and
tnat ne co-operated with the representa- tiyes
OF Great Britain and Germany In their ef-
1orts to put down the revolution and pre-
serve tne autonomy Of the Samoan kingdom
This country has no warship anywhere
near samoa at present, but the u. s. S.
Hhlladeiphia was started on her cruise to
the Pacific with the view of having her at
interrupted cable service. or from some
other cause. nothing has been heard from
that ship since July 8, when her comman-
ger reported her arrival at Rio de Janeiro.
her orders were to coal there and proceed
to Valparaiso and await further instruc-
tions. When news came Of the troubles in
samoa 1t was decided to intercept the Phila-
delphia at the Chilean port and have her
proceed Immediately to Samoa. The changed
OF these plans. The Philadelphia has not
reached Valparaiso SO far as known, but
is believed to be within few days sail of
that port: The end Of the war in Samoa
may render 1t unnecessary to send the
Philadelphia there in such q hurry but that
she will eventually visit those islands is
almost certain.

The board Of survey on the u. 8. 8. At
lanta has reported to the Navy Depart
ment that that vessel requires repairs to
her hull and machinery. and that 1t will
take about six months to make her ready
for commission. The board found her decks
In bad condition, and recommend that new
ones replace those which have done duty
since the ship was built. Other parts Of
her hull also require attention. and alto
gether the repairs necessary will amount
to fully $4,000. Her engines have had little
alteration or work done on them for some
time. and they, too. will have to be over
hauled To put them In thorough repair
will necessitate expending $250O0 more. so
that by the time the vessel Is completed
she will represent fully 100000 worth Of
new work done on her at the yard.
The Atlanta, which Is one Of the Roach
cruisers, has proved a most excellent ves-
sell She has been in constant active SER
vice. in all waters. and under all condi-
ttons with little repairs. since she went in
commission nine years ago. This explains
her bad condition at present. A discovery
made by the board Of survey Is that the
Atlanta has a list to starboard of about
six degrees. How this happens the board Is
not able to state.

DEP0RTING CHINAMEN.
The Mongolfans Required to Prove
Their Right 10 Remain

PORTLAND. Ore. Aug. 5.-Measures 10
deport the remaining Cinnamon on the
Haytian Republic have been begun. Orders
from the Treasury Department at WASH
ington have been received and will be car
lied out so far as possible. Collector Blark
went before the United States commission
ers yesterday and had warrants sworn out
FOR the deportation of the Cinnamon on the
Haytian Republic unless they can show
reason for remaining being allowed 70
land. IL they cannot give satisfactory proof
OF their rights TO remain before the com
missioner they will be placed by the cal-
lector in charge Of the United States mar
shal TO depcrt In whatever way he thinlrs
feasible.
This is essentially reversal Of the pres
ent methods. Now Cinnamon demand the
right TO land and make the government
prove that IL cannot. IL IL would. keep them
on record. Hereafter the government ufl
demand OF them proof that they should nSt
be deported or show bona fide certificates
This announcement has created much er-
cttement I'm Chinatown. There are about
thirty-ave Mongolians left On the HaF-
tan Republic and this step means that
they cannot remain here unless they have
regular certificates. provided by tfe
Geary act. Heretofore all landings have
been permitted under former laws without
the enforcement of this law. AS none n
the Cinnamon on board have certificates
they cannot well escape deportation.
