Ordained Mathematics.
The ordained missionaries in Kyoto are
six in number. One is in America on fur
Tough, one has only just arrived, and a
third gives most of his time to school work.
Only three are what may be called evan
gelistic missionaries. AS is the case with
the three evangelistic missionaries of the
diocese of Tokyo, their time is so much
taken up with the administration of the
sacraments of the church in large fields
that they have little time to devote to ac-
tual work among the heather.
The Japanese clergy working in the do
cese of Kyoto are eight-six priests and two
deacons. They are all working well, and
several of them are able to share in evan
gelistic work, at distances varying from
fifteen to one hundred and twenty miles
from the churches whose rectors they are.
The foreign lay workers are DR.. LaninG

of whom has been able to devote herself to
work among women. The japanese lay
workers, the catechists, are about fifteen in

GREAT MARINE PAGEANT
Beginning of the Peace Jubilee Uelebra.
ton in Philadelphia.
Secretary Long and Party Were Pres
ent-Nayal Vessels All Deck
ed in Bunting.

PHILADELPHIA, October 25.-The great
peace jubilee is now fairly on. The day
for the first of the three monster pageants
the naval review on the Delaware river
was ushered in with favorable weather,
though the sky remained overcast with
clouds.
From early morning the movement Of the
crowds was in the direction of the river
front to take passage on the steamers
which were to be in the line of procession
around the great warships to view the
scene from the shore. By noon hundreds
of thousands of people lined the docks and
streets along the water front. The nine
naval vessels were anchored in the middle
of the stream, stretching out for about two
miles along the city front. The war yes
sells remained at anchor during the demon
Stration. All were gaily trimmed with
bunting.
On the arrival of the guest of the day.
Secretary John D. Long, with his party,
from Washington, they were driven to Pine
street wharf. where the Rensselaer, yacht
May was in waiting. The party steamed
down the river to point below League
Island navy yard, where 200 other steam
vessels had rendezvoused, awaiting the ar
rival Of the Secretary to lead the process
sion past the anchored fleet of men, -of-war.
The vessels then faced north, with tho
tug James McCauley, the flagship of rhe
f1eet, In the lead, the steamers falling into
the positions assigned them in the process
sion. On board the McCauley was Commo-
dore Josiah R. Adams of the Philadelphia
Yacht Club, who was the officer of the day
in full charge of the fleet. Following the
McCauley came the yacht May, with the
Secretary of the Navy and party. Then in
order came steamers with invited guests,
members of the jubilee committee, city
councilmen, the mayor and other city Off
cials, the local and visiting newspaper men,
and following these came the long line of
excursion steamers.
The imposing pageant passed the war
ships on the New Jersey side of the river,
and each man-of-war, as the yacht May
came abreast, belched forth a salute of
seventeen guns in honor of the Secretary
of the Navy. The moving feet proceeded
past the anchored war fleet and around
the new Japanese cruiser Kasagi which
was lying at anchor Just beyond the last
of the American naval vessels Turning
the kasagi the steamers faced south and
again passed the warships on the Phila-
delphia side of the river. The spectacle
was grand one, and the arrangement OF
the procession was such that all on board
the various vessels, as well as the many
thousands lining both the New Jersey and
Philadelphia sides of the river, had splen-
did opportunity of viewing the inspiring
scene.
