DENVER, Nov. 19.-The Methodist
Bishops and laymen took up the subject
of the needs OF foreign missions to-day,
and as each missionary district was pre-
sented the uniform demand for more
money was made in the face of the fact
that less money than was given last year
was appropriated. The discussion over
the India and China mission fields were
brief because of the fact of limited sum
to draw upon. The Methodist Church at
Rome secured a generous allowance.
Africa was cut considerably and the
money is to be administered from the
New York office.
DR.. Goucher of Baltimore made an
urgent appeal for better salaries for the
missionaries OF India, who he claimed are
living on mere pittances. 1t was decided
to give the India conferences $3.50, ,00j, TO
be distributed pro rata according to the
budget.
The total amount of money appropri-
ated for both foreign and home missions
was Sl.0l9,00a.

and other accounts put the number as
nigh as ten. The robbers were evidently
