New York, Nov. 15.-Much time was
taken up by the bishops of the Central
Methodist committee, this afternoon, in
discussion over the matter of defray-
ing the expenses OF bishops sent as SUI
perintendents to foreign missionary
fields. A resolution was finally passed
that such expenses should be paid by
the society.
Ten thousand dollars was then appro-
priated for office expenses of the so
ciety. and another debate followed
over the division OF the whole amount
Of money for mission work for the
year. 1t gave rise to a heated debate ut
times, but 1t was finally decided that
forty-three per cent. should so to the
home mission work and seyenty-five
per cent. to the work In the foreign
missions. The amount given for the
work in India is $2,S44 more than 1t
was last year.
A special committee OF five, with
Bishop Thoburn ns chairman, was then
appointed to devise means and ways to
raise $40, 600 for missionary work. the
sum to be known rs the twentieth CEN

Work 10 being pushed steadily for
yard at Chicago for the meeting OF
the National Irrigation Congress In
that city on November q, ~. % and
"a.
Irrigation congresses have heretofore
always been held in far western cities
and while the holding of successful
convention in Chicago is big under
taking. the Indications point to a great
success. The opportunity is believed
to be an unusual one to bring clearly
and forcibly before the people Of the
East the burning questions OF water
conservation and forest preservation.
The motto adopted Is Save the Forest
and Store the Floods"
These two questions have attracted
a good deal OF attention during the
past year. All agree that the future
welfare OF the entire West depends
upon preserving our magnificent for
ests and watersheds; which In most
cases are sources of water supply; and
the national irrigation movement has
pushed forward into such prominence
MS to be made the subject of planks In
the national platforms of both the
great political parties.
The congress has secured for It's pub
lie addresses such prominent men as
General Miles, who through his plains
campaigning became strong advocate
Of national Irrigation: Secretary James
Wilson OF the Department OF Agrlcul-
turc, who is heartily In accord with
the movements; Senator Foster OF
Washington: Senator Carter of Mon
tana; Senator Bcveridge OF Indiana;
Senator Perkins of California and
many others. The scientific side OF

enthusiasm with which they expressed
themselves for Democracy would have
