ANSWER TO CRITICISM OF AD-
MINISTRATIoN.

In answer to the oft-repeated crit
icism that a comparatively small
portion of the money contributed to
foreign missions is really used for
that purpose, the remainder being
used by the societies for expense of
administration, the American Board
of Commissioners for foreign Miss
ions, the Oldest foreign missionary
organization in the U. S. has just
issued the following statement:
1--WE should be glad to have every
Christian in our land consider the
facts concerning the use made of the
funds with which the American
Board is intrusted for the spreading
of the Gospel in foreign lands. Thes1
flcts are stated plainly i'll each an
nual report of the board, but null
titudes do not consider them. Were
they to do so such absurd statements
as that sometimes made that it takes
a dollar to send dollar to the hea-
then would be silenced forever.

PROMPTED RY IGNORANCE

"Dense ignorance rather th an
malice, charity must lead us to hope
prompts such wild a utterance as
this. The racts in the case are all
accessible and that there need be no
guessing in the matter and the
exact truth is that 92% percent of
all the receipts of the Board go di-
rectly to Missions abroad while the
remaining II per cent are needed
to cover all cost of collecting and
transmitting funds including agen-
cies, correspondence, publications
of all sorts, and all salaries in every
department.
1--WE believe few business enter
prises in our own land whether con-
Quoted by individuals or corpora
tiors can make better showing as
to the cost of administration than
this and when it is remembered
chat the business stretches over
not only the greater portion of the
U. S. but that it is conducted in
twenty distant Missions in as many
different sections of the wide world,
thus involving, of course, extra cost
the percentage will be seen to be
remarkably low

MANY PETTY POINTS
Madrid Carping Over the Peace
Protocol Provisions.
INSTRUCTs COMMISSIONERS.
Attention Called to the Distinction Be-
tween Cession OF Territory and Cesslon
Of sovereignty-No Little Concern Over
Philippine Question.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The Times com.
menting upon Senior Sagastas utter
ances, published in Ell impartial, Of
Madrid, expresses the opinion that too
much stress should not be laid upon
them, but admits that talking of the
fate of criminals, ETC., in Cuba, seems
to approach triaing with the main
ssue.
''The reference to Spanish property
in Cuba, the Times says, would i'm.
ply that the United States cannot be
trusted to observe the dictates of
equity and good sense. To enter upon
the negotiations in this carping spirit
will not conduce.to speedy conclusion
of them. In fact, altogether, Spain
appears to be raising rather absurd
contentious"
The Times correspondent in Madrid
says:
"a committee consisting of Duke Al
modovar de Rio, the foreign minister;
Senior Romero Giron, minister of the
colonies; Lieutenant General Correa,
minister of war, and Captain Aunon,
minister of marine, is preparing in
structions for the Cuban and Porto
Rican commissioners, which will be
dispatched on August 81 so as to ar
rive within the time fixed by the pro-
tocol.
I'm those instructions attention will
be called to the distinction between
cession of territory and cession of SOW
eighty. In the latter case, it seems to
be maintained here that buildings and
public works remain the property of
the sovereign power until they are
paid for by the government.
while the government thus devotes
its attention for a moment chiefly to
questions of detail relating to the An
titles, much anxiety is felt with regard
to the Philippines question, which is
likely to create much more serious
difficulties. On this subject very little
guidance is afforded by the studiously
vague terms employed in the protocol.
These words have been carefully ex-
amined, with the aid of all available
dictionaries, not only by the Spanish
ministers, but also by the diplomatic
representatives of several foreign pow
ers, and all seemed agreed that, in
drafting this part of the protocol,
President McKinley's aim was simply
to keep free hand for himself until
he should have time to collect informa-
ton and decide what policy the United
States should adopt in the far East.
"All possible questions regarding
the future of the archipelago are thus
left open, and both government and
public opinion here seem in doubt as
to what line shall be taken by Spain
IN the forthcoming negotiations.
Much will depend, of course, on the
attitude assumed by the United States
government, and consequently the
conflicting currents of American pub
lie opinion are watched here with the
keenest interest. The attitude of the
powers having far Eastern interests is
also much specialized upon. It is be-
ieved that Germany will not allow
great territorial changes without hav-
ing something to say therein"

Pleasures on the Farm.
Oh, It's royal fun to frolic
On the fragrant, new-mown hay.
To roll and romp and tumble.
And to while the time away:
What a Joy to lie and slumber,
Innocent of worldly care,
On the clover in the haymow,
When some others put it there.
What a joy, when one is thirsty,
) Ere as yet tits time to sup,
To consume the sweet ambrosia
That the cows have yielded up
To drink out of the milkpail,
While you poise it in the air
When some other has extracted
The rich fluid that is there.
What joy it is, in summer,
To be free upon the farm;
All, the very air seems freighted
With mystic sort of charm;
Round and over all a dreamy,
Peaceful spirit seems to Turk
That is, If you do the dreaming.
While some others do the work.
