An Inspiring Missionary Meet
 ing.
AT TRINITY CHURCH.

The missionary meeting held in Trini- ty church on Wednesday, May 4, was 8 grand success in every way. The neigh boring parishes If Danbury, Bedding Ridge, Monroe, Sandy Hook and Brook field were well presented in the good siz d congregations. The Holy COmmu- niOu was celebrated at | o'clock by the rector, assisted by the arch deacon, Rev Fl. M. Sherman, of St PauIs church, B idgeport. This service was followed by a short missionary service with 8 brief address of welcome by the rector. The usual monday prayer for missions was said at 12 o'clock.
 The archdeacOn gave a very instruc- tive address upon the great work ready done by the Woman's Auxiliary and the greater possibilities of woman's influence in the future ir church work as we'll as in all walks in life.
 A luncheon was served by the women of the parish in their usual hOspiCable manner.
 The afternoon service was at o'clock. Three addresses were made by visiting clergymeu. Rev C. E. Woodcock of An sonia spoke most elOquently and impress sively upon the importance of the prop CT training of children in religious work and knowledge. Rev J. D. Skene of Danbury emphasized the importance of the right foundation for missionary work-the ideal of the life of Our Bles- sed Lord and, folloWiDg His example, uuss lfishness in His disciples. Rev W. k. Hooker of Wilton showed plainly the necessity of the missionary character to the church's very existence and that the cause of missions not only involves a duty but great privilege.
 Appropriate prayers were used in the service and most suitable hymns were suDg by the congregation. The whole gathering was planned by Miss Juliette Peck of Green wich, one of theGmaDagers of the Women's Auxiliary of Come cti- cut, assisted by the rector.

ton, the election returns from Mus

Alex. Mcmillan, a voter of the Fin

received IL votes there, but whether
there were IL or Is votes cast he does
not remember. On the basis of a

SPAIN nUST YIELD.
Result of Elections Has Strengthened the Ad-
ministration's Hand.

New York. Nov. IA dispatch to
Instead of paying $4,000, 900 as an
Indemnity for the cession of the
Philippines tn the United States.
President Mckinley intends to re-
about $1,000, 900 expended III public
improvements. President Mckinley
and his cabinet have carefully noted
that the sentiment expressed
throughout the country by the cleo
tions has been i'm opposition to the
suggestion To- indemnify Spain to the
extent OF those proposed.
AZ WAS put out by the authorities.
it was intended to give the capital
of the entire debt floated, with the
Philippines as secured and amount
ing to S40,0 00, 900. What will be paid
by the United States, according to
the present Intention of the president
is the debt contracted by Spain for
harbor improvements and public
buildings. All told, this does not
amount to n very large sum, being
fixed at about 81, OOO, 900. Friends of
Spain say that it is an outrage for
the President to offer such Il small
sum.
perhaps it would he the best
thing for Spain if she would rid her
self OF the Philippines" said N of
these gentlemen, but surely it is not
right that the United States should
satisfy only a small portion of the
debt, leaving her with the remainder
on her hands and with IL low treas
ury to meet it,"
1t is not believed in official circles
here that Spain will withdraw her
commissioners from Paris. She has
no desire to loose the Canary islands,
and she is apprehensive that in case
OF a resumption of hostilities the
government of the United States
would seize and perhaps hold them.
A high administration official says
that in case of the withdrawal of the
Spanish commissioners the United
States would complete the military
occupation of the Philippines and
would take such other steps as it
might deem advisable for the pro-
lection of this country's rights in the
far East.
From Mr.. Day the officials have
learned that the American commits
sioners have submitted to the
render the islands, and it is said now
that the American commissioners
are 81 satisfactorily indorsed by the
receIt elections in the United States
that the Spanish government will ac-
cept the American proposal.
