MISSION WORK.
Reports of Those In Charge of the
Annual Survey.

Providence, r. L, Oct 43The annual
convention of the American board of
commissioners for foreign missions was
continued today. The report of the COM
mittee and the treasurer's department
was presented by its chairman, Lucien
G. Warner, who outlined a plan for the
distribution of legacies over a series of
years instead of exhausting them by
consuming them in the year in which
they were SeVerally received.
The annual survey of the mission
fields in charge of Secretary Barton,
D. D., of Boston, secretary of the for
eign department, was read by him.
Secretary Barton read the report of
the European Turkey and the eastern
Turkey missions; Marathi, Madura and
Ceylon missions in India, Japan, Aus
tria, Spain and eMxico. The report
showed that every post brought appeals
for larger liberty and a more aggressive
policy in the work of evangelization.
Opposition to the onward progress of
the kingdom was given all along the
battle line that encircled the world.
Among other things Dr.. Barton said:
''Since the war the missionaries in
Spain have Travelled freely and have
carried on their work as before without
the slightest word or look upon the part
of any one that any i'll will was enter
tanned, while in some places it has been
made most evident that the people were
especially eager to greet and honor
Americans"
Secretary Smiths department was
surveyed by himself in substance as
follows:
THE missions included are eleven in
number, two in Asia minor, the western
Turkey and the Central Turkey mis-
sions; three in Africa, the Zulu, the
West Central Africa and the East Cen
trail Africa missions; two in the Pacific
islands, the AIicronesiasl missions and
the work of the board in the Hawaiian
islands and four in China, the Shansi,
the North China, the Foo Chow and the
South China missions.

WINTER TINE CARD.
It VIII Give Topeka Several More
Trains

General Superintendent Nudge of the
Santa Fe returned at noon today from
Chicago where he attended a meeting
of the operating and traffic officials on
the question of the new winter time
card. 1t has been decided to run the
California limited trains four times a
week this winter instead of tri-weekly,
as was the case last year. The trains
will leave Chicago on each Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday,
and will pass through Topeka west
bound on the day following.
The eastbound limited trains will
pass through Topeka this winter, and
not over the ''cut off, from Enporia to
Holiday, as they were run last season.
The flyers will leave Los Angeles at 6
O'Clock in the evening, and will pass
through Topeka sometime after mid
night, giving Topeka another eastbound
night train four times a week.
The time of the regular trains in and
out of Topeka will practically remain
unchanged in the winter schedule.
