FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Anniversary Of the State Society Held
at Rochester.

Interest in tia work of foreign mis-
sions was renew ed at Rochester when
the Methodist Missionary society held
its university. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Mrs. F. e. White eff
Blue Earth City. The report read by
Mrs. White showed that the society
enjoyed a..year--of unparalleled success
and prosperity. The gain in member
ship was 1877, making the total MEM
bership LIS. During the year there
was raised by the auxiliaries of the
conference the following sums:
Fairmont district, $713. rs; Mankato
district, $685.. So; Pipestone district,
1888. 81 ST. Paul district, 81, 1876

Mrs. Joyce, wife of the bishop, was
introduced and addressed the society
in oongratulatory vein. She brought
tidings to the society from Miss
Rouse, who has gone from this confer
ence to the foreign field. In the course
of her address, Mrs. Joyce noticed the
difficulties which confronted the
workers in foreign lands through con-
tagious diseae. She said that the cry
for more helpers was constantly com
ing from every part of the field. There
are many ready to go and carry the
gospel, but there are no funds on hand
to send them.
Miss Stone, Chinese girl, was in
troduced and spoke of her own coun-
try, its needs and the outlook for
Christianity. Miss Stones father was

Methodist church. Her home was in
central China. Her father died from
the effects of injuries received at che
hands of the Borers. She is in this

self for work in her native land.
Miss Stone said that China was
awakening and realized need which
must be met and satisfied. She declar-
ed that the needs of China could no.
be met by western education and cuI-

The Execution Stayed.
SEA ISLAND CROP
REPORTS DIFFER.
Frost Puts 1t at S4,42O Bales and
Young at S3,674 Bales.

The sea island cotton crop
report for 19O1-1902 has just
been made by Savannah cot
ton exporters. Henry w. Frost &
Co. of Charleston and Savannah
show it to be "a. 420 bales, while L.
Gourdin Young shows it to be 1854.
A variance generally exists between
the crop figures of sea island stats
ticians. The same Is true with the
upland cotton crop, New York statis-
ticians differing in their totals from
New Orleans figures.
MIR. Young's total is 1854 against
SS.725 last year. He reports South Car
Gina as receiving S641 against S,377
last year; Georgia 52.2S3 against 54,9T4
last year, and Florida 22,77O against
1884 last year. He further reports The
exports S0.576 against 5000 last year..
with 25.7S6 to Great Britain against
24,016 last year; the continent 5,944
against 6,10S last year. and domestic
$3.50 against 50, 452 last year.
The crop of 19O1-19O2. as reported
above is 1864 bales, being 5,051 bales
less than the crop of 19O0-1901, and A.
631 bales less than that Of 1S99-19O0
Mr.. Young further says: 1t seems to
be an established fact that the acre
age devoted to the culture of sea ISL
and cotton during the past few years
has been sufficient to produce a yield
of 100000 bales. This was the accepted
condition; last spring twelvemonth, hut
again has the crop fallen short of this
figure; the cause, unpropitious wealth
err. The quality of the crop was good
with an unusually small proportion nf
the lower grades. In weight the Caro-
lima bag averaged 347.4 against s57 81
pounds last year. and the Florida and
Georgia bale 5000 against 1872. 02. The
average price of Carolinas was about
26c per beund, equal $90.4 per bag;
that of Floridas and Georgias 20. 13c
equal to $7S.5S per bale.
Henry w. Frost & Co., put the crop
at S4,42O against SS725 in 19OO-O1. 1888
in $4,000, 67,764 in 1889, 1878 in
1878, 102.067 in 1S96-97 and 92,718 in
1S95-96. They report 8,e41 received
from the islands, 5000 from Georgia.
and 22,770 from Florida. The report
exports of 81 1922, with 9,724 to Liverpool,
1922 to Manchester, 5.676 to Havre, 432
to Bremen, and ,1g8 to American
mills. Stock at Savannah Aug. 80,
1902. 1876 bales.
Frost & Co. say of the outlook:
There has been limited demand for
such bags of Georgia cotton of the new
crop as class fancy at zoe. But this
inquiry is not general, and the feeling
is that we. will see a decline of about
1c, as soon as the receipts are larger
and admit of more general buying At
this decline we think it probable that
there may be sufficient demand to take
such cotton as is marketed during this
month.
Later on. with continued good crop
advices, pointing to a total yield of
about 100 600 bales, we may see some
further decline,

Il believe that especial stress should
be laid on the industrial feature of
such an institution. The more skilled
artisans we have. the more intelligent
farmers we have. among the negroes
OF the South, the better. for them and
for the South. Education along these
lines cannot fail to command the sup

from them may do much to stimulate

Mr.. Robert T. Waller, a member of

the matter. He said there will be a
meeting of the committee in a short
while, as the time fixed for the cere-
monies is drawing near, and there is
great deal of work to be attended

Will be invited. While there are
many who are opposed to the
President as a man. they recog-
nize that it is the President, and
not Mr.. Roosevelt, whom we are

view of the fact that Gen. Greene was
next to Washington in command, and
was so closely connected with the af-
fairs of the government-so instru-
mental in its establishment, and so
generous in its support-that the chief
executive of the national should be
present on the occasion of the renter
ment of the remains. The ceremony
is one in which the whole nation is
interested. and it is but fit that the
nations representative be present"
Whether the President will be
invited has not as yet been definite

would go through Council, and while
1t is not known what the sense of
that body is on the question, 1t is
thought that they would not decline to

John Anderson Seeks Recovery
From Empire Dredging Company.
A suit for the recovery of $4,000 dam
ages was filed in the City Court yes
terday afternoon against the Umpire
Dredging Company by John Anderson,
who has been until recently an en-
ploye of the company.
Anderson complains that ON July 0,
while in the conduct of the labor as
signed to him by the company, which
was at that time dredging the Savan-
nah river, he was painfully injured
through the negligence of the COM
pany. He had been assigned 10 the
task of removing all sticks. stumps
and other foreign matter which was
scooped up in the mud. and which in
terfered with the passage of the mud
through pipe laid for the purpose of
transporting 1t.
While so engaged, chain
which hauled the buckets of
mud broke and struck him on the
head and shoulders. cutting and bruis-
ing him. The CHAIN he says, was de-
fective, being old and worn: and this
the company knew, or ought to have
known. The petition was filed by

PRICE OF COAL UP

AND 80 CENTS ON SOFT COAL.
SHORT SUPPLY THE CAUSE.
DEALERS UNABLE TO SECURE COAL
FROM ANTHRACITE REGIONS.

Months-When Exhausted Con-

COal-This Too Has Been Affected
by Agreement-Savann Last City
of Importance to Increase Prices
Hard Coal Now Selling in Anthra-
cite Regions for 50 "A Ton.
The price of coal, both hard and soft,
went up yesterday morning as the re-
suit of an agreement among local deal
ers. Efforts looking toward such an
agreement have been in progress for
some days. Under the terms of the
agreement, hard coal, of which the
price has been $3.50 a ton will now
be sold at $3.50, and soft coal, instead
of Sc, as heretofore, will be sold at
$3.50.
The dealer who engineered the adj
vance said that the raise in price had
become a necessity because of the
small stock on hand, and the inability
to get more.
Caused by short stock.
No trust has been formed, he
said, nor is there any desire TO
squeeze" on the part of the dealers,
but the situation demanded that a
step of this sort be taken.
The whole stock of hard coal now
in Savannah, it is estimated, amounts
to but 1900 tons, and this, at the nor
NAL consumption for this time of
year, will last but two months, or
Whereabouts. When this stock is ex-
hausted consumers will have to fall
back on Alabama coal. That is now
being sold here in quantities, and there
is no trouble in getting it, but this,
too, has been affected by the increase
of price. The former price was &c.
1t has been increased to $3.50.
The Last to Advance.
Savannah, 1t is said, is the last city
of any consequence to put up prices.
Other cities have been making in
creases from time to time ever since
the effect of the suspension of mining
in the Pennsylvania and West Virginia
fields began to be felt. Even with
yesterdays advance the price of hard
coal here will be less than it is in
what may be called the anthracite re-
gions, for 1t is now selling in New
York and Philadelphia at 50 ton.
