MENT?
The Student Volunteer Move
ment is widely known as an inter
denominatiOnal missionary agency
having more than eight thousand
institutions of higher learning in
the United States and Canada as its
field. 1t does not independently
commission or support missionaries
but works in cooperation with the
regular mission boards, and through
it's efforts hundreds of missionaries
have been furnished the boards,
and are now laboring in the Orient
Africa and South America.
Among its objects are:
I. To emil. the students in the
colleges and theological seminar
les in prayer and labor for the proc
lamation of the Gospel throughout
the world in our generation.
2. To enroll among the students
of the continent volunteers who
may be sent by the boards to the
different fields for lay or clerical
service.
3. To inform, through its extern
sive system of educational classes,
the Christian students of North
America in regard to the progress
and needs of modern missions. In
over three hundred colleges there
are such classes following the Move
ment's courses.
| d. To arouse students and 9th

New York, Nov. 2S.-Of three cases of

TRADE BU0YANT

ADVANCES IN EARLY DEALINGS
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Falls Over
On Account of Fenrs of the
Brfdge's Stability

New York, Nov 2S.-There was a strong
and spirited opening TO the stock market
this morning, due to the pronounced ad-
vance in London and the encouraging ad-
vices from Paris and Madrid relating to
peace negotiations.

ceptions TO the early buoyancy. Brookls II

There was good buying in London today
apparently on the situation i'm Paris. The
New York market opened high in sym
pathy with this nd perhaps, too, partly
because there Is foot of snow on the
ground in New Y.IA and winter weather
may make business boom. Prices declined
from the high opening in almost all stocks
within the first hour. 1t seemed likely
that the opening figures had been put up
so that any who might wish to get into
the market this morning would have to
do so al a higher level This view of the
situation carries with il the probability
that there will be a recession from the
present high mark. Opinion is very much
divided as to this. The experience of for
mer similar movements seems to indicate
however, that a decline is due, even if
there is TO be a higher range of prices
later.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-As stat
ed in these dispatches, the department
has had in view the acquisition of
coaliEg station in the West Indies. The
government is now without any coaIing
station in foreign country of any i'm
portance, matter of considerable re-
greet among naval officials.
Ever since the trouble with Spain has
been threatened, Capt Bradford, the
chief of the bureau Of equipment, has
been looking over the field very care
fully, and has indicated to Secretary
Long several desirable places in the
West Indies where excellent harbors
exist, which, in his judgment, might be
acquired by the government. One of
these locations is the island of st.
Thomas, Danish possession, where it
Is said the facilities for the establish
ment of coaling station are admir-
able
Secretary Long has recognized the
force of Capt. Bradford's arguments
has laid the question before the sta,e
department officials with a view to the
acquisition of ST. Thomas
1t Is said at the navy department to-
day that no purchase of the island
has yet been consummated, but that
negotiations are under way.
In execution of his policy of prepar-

tailed officers today to command all
the auxiliary torpedo boats recently
added to the naval service. The de-
tails are as follows

Peculiarities of Belief.
There are about $50, 900 Dunkards or Ger
man Baptist Brethren in the United States,
with perhaps $4,000 Amish and Mennonite
Brethren. Although the Dunkards point to
the Scriptures as their only written creed,
they have numerous pecularities of belief
and practice which distinguish them from
nearly every other religious sect. The chief
points Of doctrinal difference between the
Dunkards and other Baptists is shown on
