Pittsburg, Nov 19.-The general
missionary committee of the Meth
odist Episcopal church opened yester-
day morning with a full attendance
and renewed strength for its third
week Of work. The apportionment or
funds for the foreign mission field
was on the boards, and the discussion
took worldwide range.
The proceedings were in part
as follows: Bishop j. w. Walden
presided The Rev. DR.. Leonard held
that the work could not be carried on
IN the foreign field if the per cent
cut were made on the appropriation
OF last year Relief was provided by
going through all the appropriations
on the per cent cut basis, and then
allowing the open door committee
to take the special contributions The
"open door committee lis new COM
mittee, appointed at this meeting to
go into new work in Porto Rico, the
Philippines and other new fields. The
discussion became SO warm that Col
onel E. l.. Dobbins stopped it and
forced vote on a call for the previ~
GUS question.
The Bulgarian question bobbed
us, as was expected. DR.. Buckley, who
had been waiting for five days for
the matter, said: Bulgaria has swal-
lowed up 100000. and the whole in
come is 279 members in the midst If
maryelously bigoted church.
The American board is unwilling
to take the work off our hands Now
we are there and boxed up to go on
The missionaries there must have
fine conversational powers, as they
I'LL all visitors with encouragement =
Secretary Leonard wanted to read
15-minute report on Bulgaria. DIR.
Buckley protested with heat and said:
1t is unprecedented. II DIR. Leonard
has a cut and dried report, why
didn't he read it to the committee. in
stead of infiieting 1t on the general
committee"
General ]. F. Rushing moved that
DIR. Leonard be heard, but the secre-
tary was defeated and the previous
question was called by Colonel Dob
bins. Bulgaria got $6,229. Then the
discussion broke out on the question
of continuing the committee. Bishop
Cyrus D. Foss said: Discharge the
committee and let the patient live
Dismiss the physicians and let the
Bulgariaps have chance for life

was chairman, was killed by vote of
L to 10.
