MONEY FOR MISSIONS.
Methodist Episcopal Committee Decides
to Make Different Distriaution of
appropriation.

New York, Nov. 16.--In the morning
session of the general missionary COM
mittee of the Methodist Episcopal
church the consideration of the pro-
posed reduction of $4,000 in the money
for the foreign missionary field was
taken up. 1t was decided to make this
reduction SO as to distribute it over
the entire appropriation for home and
foreign fields. which is about $1,2OO,-
900. OF this latter amount the foreign
field gets 81 per cent. or about $614.-
600, the balance, or about $463. .46S.
goes to the home field.
In the afternoon the whole session
was spent in receiving and acting upon
the reports of the committees on ap-
preparation for mission fields.
For southern Asia it was voted to
devote these amounts: For north
India, $4,000; for south India. $4,000;
for the Philippines, $1,000, with the
Recommendation that $4,000 in addi-
ton be asked for out Of the thank
offering.
Bishop Hurst asked: "Is this fund
for the Philippines to be distributed
from home or abroad? From Manila?
And what does Manila mean? 1t is
under the United States flag and when
Bishop Warren or any other bishop
goes there it is not as bishop but as
d superintendent He is simply citi-
zen. President Mckinley himself has
ordered the Philippines put down as a
part Of the United States on the maps
and so it cannot be a foreign mission
field"
After several bishops had spoken to
this question, it was finally decided
that the matter of Jurisdiction was
something for the general conference
to decide. Bishop Thoburn of India
said before the discussion closed:
For we all know, and it hoks quite
probable just now, the United States
in ten years will be governing a hun
dred millions of Chinamen."

FIND RUINS IN MEXICO.
Interesting New Details of chineae Mis-

Revelation for the Scientists.

Monterey, Mex. Nov. 16.-The report
that American officers have unearthed
ancient records in Peking showing that
the Chinese discovered America 1,5OO
years ago, and erected temples in Mex
leo. has aroused the greatest interest
among the scientific men of Monterey
and throughout this country. The
Chinese temples alluded to are in the
sssts g S0nGrs. 0s che Pacific eeast.
The ruin of one of the temples was
discovered near the town of Ures in
that state about two years ago.
One of the largest stone tablets found
in the ruins was covered with carved
Chinese characters, which were partly
deciphered by learned Chinaman
who visited the ruins at the request
of the Mexican government This
Chinaman made the assertion at the
time that the ruins were those of q
temple which had been erected many
centuries ago by Chinese, but his state
ment was not received with credence.
I 1t has long been claimed that the
Indians OF the state Of Sonora are de-
scendants Of these early Chinese set
tiers. They possess many traditions
and characteristics of the Chinese II
the report of the finding of these rec
ords in Peking is verified, an expedi-
ton will go from here to explore fur
ther the ancient ruins of the temples
of Sonora.
The substance of the news from Pc
king is as follows: MA Twan Lin, a
Chinese scholar, in recent search
among the musty official records of
China brought forth an account of the
voyage of Hwui Shan to 'Fusang'
(MeAico), where he left five mission
aries, in the year 499."

Alarm Throughout Europe.
NO IMMEDIATE DANGER.

Attributed to Overwork In Come ction
with the Chinese Crisis--DeaSh of the
Peace PreSe,,yer Would BE q World
Wide Caaareity.
Rome, Nov. ia rumor is current
In Rome that the illness of the czar is
due to poisoning, and it is asserted that
cipher kilograms have been received
at the vatican saying that an attempt
was made to poison both the emperor
and empress, but that the latter was
not affected. This story, however, is
not believed. King Victor Emmanuel
telegraphed for definite information
and got a quick reply that the ear
was as we'll as could be expected.
London, Nov. 16-The impression ex-
lists in most European capitals that
the illness of Emperor Nicholas is more
serious than it is reported to be- but
this is probably based upon knowledge
that the cars constitution is not
strong, and is little likely to resist a
serious attack.
In Copenhagen the illness is attri-
buted to oyerwork in connection with
the Chinese crisis, and there is also a
suspicion that the hygenic conditions
and water supply at Livadia may be
faulty.
The dowager czarina receives news
by courier twice each day. Her de-
parture from Fredensborg had been
officially fixed for Nov. 26. Prepara-
tions have since been made for her to
leave at any moment and the fact that
she has not started indicates that there
is no immediate danger.
1t is feared. however. that even if
no complications ensue the attack may
be Of long duration. There is no news
from st. Petersburg on the subject be-
yond the official bulletins, which indi-
cate that the attack is only slight. no
high temperature having yet been re-
ported.
hension with which the announcement
of the fact that the czar was suffering
from typhoid fever filed Europe em-
phasizes how much the peace of the
world is dependent upon him. But for
the statement contained in the official
bulletin that his majesty's malady is
taking a thoroughly favorable course
the news Of his illness would have
created nothing less than consterna-
tion. 1t is generally felt at the present
critical state of international affairs
that even a temporary weakening of
the influence of so favorable factor
in the maintenance of the worlds
peace justifes grave anxiety, especi-
ally as the czar is regarded in Europe
as a kind of counterpoise to Emperor
William. Public anxiety will there
fore remain strained until the none
too robust monarch recovers In polit-
ical circles any other issue of his ma.
jesty's malady is regarded as night
mare.
The London newspapers comment on
the cars illness with peculiar sym
pathy. The Times remarks that it has
always been believed in England that
the czar ''reciprocated the national
sentiment toward him and cherished
real regard and reverence for our be-
loved queen"
The Times also says: "The czar has
exhibited consistent attachment to the
countries Of peace

st. Petersburg, Nov. 16.-The Rus

brating the 10th anniversary of the
treaty Of Peking, by which Russia ac-
quired an immense amount of terri.
tory. The Novoe Vremya, however,
unfayorably compares Russian diplo.
macy then with European diplomacy
now, and says that it is authorized to
state emphatically that an effort will
be made to press a campaign for a
separate place by Russia in the nego-
tiations with China. This is not, how
ever, understood as representing the
governments views.

MAN PUMPS FOR FIVE DAYS.

Keep the Bark Ahoat With Difficulty and
Are Exhausted When Rescued--Water-
logged Derelict is Set Afire by the Cap
tsin-s Orders.
Philadelphia, Nov. 16.-After floating
on the ocean in helpless condition in
q sinking vessel for five days, Captain
Anderson and his crew of 13 hands of
the Norwegian bark Highflyer arrived
here yesterday, having been rescued
by the British steamer Georgian
Prince. During the five days the crew
was at the mercy of the waves, they
only saw two steamers The first one,
according to Captain Anderson, came
within half a mile of his vessel, and
answered the distress signal by raising
flag, but steamed away without Civ
ing any aid. 1t was transatlantic
liner. The second ship sighted was
the Georgian Prince. The Highfyer
sailed from Campbellton, P. e. l., for
Newport, Wales, on Oct. 10, with a
cargo of lumber. Eleven days out the
bark encountered severe gale, which
tore away her sails and strained the
vessel so that she sprang a leak of nine
inches an hour. All hands were kept
busy at the pumps so that the bark
could be kept afoat.
Captain Flett of the Georgian Prince
made report of the rescue. in which
he said: "Nov. 5, sighted the Norwe-
gian bark Highfyer showing signals
sf distress ana On coming near found
that the captain and crew wished 10
abandon the ship, as she had sprung a
leak and was in a sinking condition.
! then ordered my boats to be got
ready to take them OF board my vessel.
The captain reported to me that the
wholel crew had been continuously
working at the pumps for five days
and nights and that the crew were ex-
hausted, fact l could see when they
! came on board, as they were scarcely
able to get on the Georgian Prince
without help. After consulting with
the, captain, who said the derelict
would be waterlogged before morning.
as the water was gaining nine inches
; an hour and lying in the direct track
of steamers, decided to destroy her
and sent the boat back with my first
and third officers and crew and set
fire to the bark in two places. could
see her burning high for two hours
after steamed away"
