WORK IN FOREIGN FIELDS.
Committee on Missions Reports at Presby-
terian General Assembly.

Eagle Lake, Ind, May 27.-The first
order Wednesday in the Presbyterian
general assembly was the report of the
committee on foreign missions. The re-
port of the board of foreign missions
showed that efforts had been made to
curtail expenses as far as possible in
view Of the reduced receipts, but in
spite of such efforts an increased de-
ficit was reported. A large part of 1t
was due to falling off in the item OF
legacies.
1t was suggested that an extra eff
fort to eXtinguish the debt of the board
had an effect on contributions TO the
cause of foreign missions. Special praise
was given the work Of the women's
boards and to the young peoples soci-
eties Mention was made of necessary
retrenchment, but the basis of 1t was
not specified Six foreign missionaries
died and eighty-three were sent out dur
ing the year, a large proportion Of whom.
however, returned to former fields or
labor.
The receipts were as follows: From
churches $270, ,479; women's boards, S299.
115; Sabbath schools and young peoples $
society, $54, ,049: legacies, $50, 1856: miscel-
laneous sources, $95,549 Unused appro-
priations and sale Of properties on the
field increased the assets by s60,129. The
total expenditures were 1926, ,061, of which
S57621 was for administration and
printing. The total debt amounted to 1l3, :
299, which was reduced by receipts from
the anniversary reunion fund to net
debt of $97 Asa.
The largest appropriations were made
for work as follows: China, $174,691;
India sl67,372; Japan, $7S,145; South
America. $S0.OS0 Syria, $59,055; Siam
and Laos. 7l,114; Persia, $73193; Af-
rica, SAL 1865. The board has securities
to the amount of s257 $50, the interest of
which is available for current work. 1t
also owns securities Of S3S.102 upon
which it has not yet realized and spe-
cal funds aggregating $S66S66, of which
$135455 belongs to the permanent fund

Is A CENTER OF INTEREST.
Public Attention to the Tariff Debate In
the Senate.

Washington, May 27.-The senate
chamber was a center of interest
Wednesday, as it was expected that the
tariff debate would advance from the
stage Of set speeches to the actual con-
sideration Of the bill. This was the pro-
gramme for the day, as outlined by
those in charge of the bill.
The public interest in the discussion
promised to exceed that on the cuban
resolutions and the galleries were
crowded from the outset. The parlia-
mentary status Of the bill, according
to the calendar, was that of unfinished
business" which gave the bill the right
of way at o'clock, although it was
understood the measure would be taken
up before then If the morning business
was disposed of before that hour.
Allison secured the passage OF a JOINT
resolution appropriating $225,OOO for de-
ficiencies at the government printing or
flee.
At o'clock the senate took up the
tariff bill and the formal reading of the
bill began.
The first vote in the senate on the
tariff bill occurred on Senator vest
amendment to reduce the rate on borax

was defeated-yeas 20, nays "a.

indicted for refusing TO answer ques-
tions propounded by the senate sugar
investigation in June. 1894. was resumed
Wednesday morning. The attendance
was almost as large as on Tuesday.
District Attorney Davis reoffered In ev-
idence the extract of the senate journal
showing the recreancy of Mr.. Havemey-
er to which the defense objected, un-
less the other journals showing the
whole action of the senate upon the case
be admitted. Judge Bradley agreed to
admit all relevant extracts from the
senate journals and thereupon Mr..
Johnson withdrew his objection. Ac-
cordingly the extracts showing the
reports of the committee to the senate
and detailing the facts of Mr.. Have
meyers contumacy were admitted. Mr..
Johnson objected to the admission OF
the printed report of the committee as
evidence and. long legal debate fol-
lowed on this point.
Original Notes Lost.
The government strenuously insisted
that it was admissible as an official SEN
ate report. Mr.. Davis said he was
driven to the necessity of offering this
document as evidence because the orig
inal stenographic notes of Mr.. Have
meyers testimony had been lost The
defense offered to admit the whole
printed record, but objected to the eX-

tives or compounds, carbolic acid and
it's derivatives, napthalin, formalin,
and insect powder are now used for
various purposes where camphor was
formerly employed. Camphor has
been manufactured artificially, at
cost of leaving a margin of profit at
present prices. 1t is therefore appar-
ent that if the production of camphor
from the trees is to be carried on with
profit in this country and the industry
increased to any considerable extent,
the price of camphor must be reduced
to compete with the prices of substi-
tutes now taking it's place.
Camphor has been obtained from
several other plants not at all related
to the ordinary camphor tree, but
only two kinds, BorneO camphor and
Blumea camphOr, are Of any import
ance commercially.
Borneo camphor is obtained from
the camphor tree of Borneo and Su,
u1dtfd, DTyOUdldIlOp AROMA Ilcd. IL Is
deposited in clefts and hollows in the
wood, and has simply to be taken out.
This camphor is comparatively rare
and the supply is consumed almos,
exclusively in China, where it is vai~
ued at from thirty to ninety times as
much as ordinary camphor.
Blumea camphor is obtained by dis
tillation from Blumea balsamifera,
shrub growing in Burmah and he
Malay Peninsula. This is usually re-
fined in Canton, whence about 10000
pounds are exported annually. The
source of this supply is abundant, and
as the industry develops it is likely to
enter more into competition with or
binary camphor. Neither of these
plants can be grown in the United
States, except possibly in southern
Florida. without protection against

Strawberry Culture.

From Bulletin No. 80, Florida Experiment
Station.
Making the Beds.-Where the plOw-
ing was we'll done, as above described,
and the cutaway harrow and roller
employed, the amount Of handwork
required is reduced to a minimum.
Still, the grower should walk up and
down several times and survey the
beds critically, garden rake in hand,
to determine the situation Of any in
CAPABILITIES and remove them. The
beds should lie week or two, then
the rain will settle and firm them and
point out unerringly where the hol-
lows are All roots and sticks should
be collected into piles and burned. All
pieces of sods should be raked off into
the ditch; they interfere with the
stretching of the line in setting
plants.
Marking. Off Beds.-On deep, rich,
mellow land, plants may be set in
rows 20 to "a inches apart, and IS
inches in the row; on thinnish land,
10 inches apart and foot in the rows.
Hill culture is universal in Florida;
atted rows, as in the North, could
not be managed ON account OF the
prevalence of crab grass. The plants
also need to be isolated so that the
sun may be able to shine on all sides
of them and color the berries, which
is not so readily accomplished in
March as in June.
For punch a round pointed wood
en- stake will answer. If the grower
can not Judge distances readily by the
eye he had better construct a four
pointed punch-the points IL or Is
inches apart, as desired, to. be pushed
into bar upon which he can step to
thrust them into the ground. The
points should be steel, to prevent
damp earth from adhering to them;
