MISSION WORK FLoURIsHING.
Reports Submitted to Southern Presby-
terrain Assembly

The report of DIR. S. II. Chester of Nash
VILE. secretary of foreign missions. to the
forty-third general assembly of the Presby
terrain Church of the United States. the
Southern Presbyterians. which convened at
Lexington. Va. yesterday afternoon,
showed that the total number of additions
to mission churches during the year was
1.JT4. an increase of 10 over last year.
The number of accessions in the African
mission was 1877. The receipts for the year
from all sources were $3.50. 45S. a gain of
churches taking part was 1872 and the aver
age contribution per member was s1.T1.
DR. s. l.. Morris OF Atlanta read the re-
port of the home missions committee, which
shows that the contributions have been
larger than last year s1.153 More new
churches have been organized and more
new territory occupied than ever before.
The receipts were $41 033 and the disburse-
ments $50 80. The balance on hand March
81 1893. was $S.06S.
The large bulk OF the home mission funds
is spent in the three synods-Arkansas,
Florida and Texas. The Indian territory is
the most hopeful and fruitful field In the
Presbyterian Church. the report says The
mission schools have increased from eight
with seventeen teachers and 800 scholars. to
eleven schools. with twenty-three teachers
and nearly loo scholars A dozen new
churches have been organized in Indian
territory and Oklahoma. The committee
asks for $50. 900

REGARDING AN ASSESSMENT.
Question Touching Right Of District in
Cutting an Avenue.

An interesting question. has been brought
before the Commissioners by s. j. Block,
the attorney for the Bruce estate. involving
the right of the District in cutting Stanton
avenue through the property owned by
Hannah Bruce and the assessment Of her
estate for all the area of her original prop
erty. including the street itself.
Hannah Bruce died in 1891, at the age
of 1O4,' writes Mr.. Block, leaving two sons
by two husbands as her only heirs at law,
Thomas Solomon and Richard Bruce. In
1872 the District authorities made a public
road, named Stanton avenue cutting her
land composed of four acres in two. By
making a deep cut through one half Of the
remaining land was ruined. There is no
record In the surveyors office or elsewhere
that l could find showing how the District
OF columbia got its title to the road afOre-
said
There have been three sales for taxes,
the property being advertised as four acres.

trlct has a title to the aforesaid public ave-
nue. the advertisement under which the land
was sold for taxes is incorrect and void II
the estate still owns the part upon which

the matter be referred to the surveyor

as the property is defined by fences and

road, proved to be BIB acres. the road con-

DER LIST Of MEMBERS.
Merger of Spanish War Soldiers Or
CARNATIONS Has Been Delayed
in Consequence

The hearing in the case of William
Christopher Liller of Lancaster, Pa, the
former adjutant general of the Spanish
American War Veterans, whose mail is be-
ing held up by the Post Office Department,
has been concluded and decision will be
rendered by Attorney General Robb for
that department as soon as the brief of the
plaintiff is presented The hearing was
held before Mr.. Robb, the Spanish-Amerf-
can war veterans being represented by Col.
Russell Harrison and Attorney r. w.
Haynes of this city. A Mr.. Mayer of Phil
adelphia appeared in the interest of Liller.
Gen. Coryen of Pennsylvania, commander
in-chief of the Spanish War Veterans gave
the principal testimony against the con-
tentions of Liller.
It was alleged that Liller, who was de-
posed as adjutant general of the Spanish
American War Veterans at the Indianapolis
national convention, caused to be sent
through the mails to the numerous camps
of that organization circular letter pur-
porting to be authorized by the Postmaster
General notifying said camps to continue
their correspondence with him as national
adjutant general.
Denied by Postal officials.
The postal officials state that no such
authority was given to Liller, and that the
use Of the Postmaster Generals name by
him was unwarranted. hence the fraud
order stopping his mail. Liller then de-
clared that he was not responsible for the
circular letter, that it was issued by Com
ntander-in- chief Somers, and that as adju-
tant general he simply vised 1t. Col. Som
ers in turn denied any such responsibility,
and stated that the order was Of Liller's
own connivance. Col. Somers issued pub
lie statement to this effect.
At the recent hearing before Attorney
General Robb a certain written statement
was read in Liller's defense. When asked
to file the statement Liller's representative
declined to do so under orders from Liller.
Later however the statement was filed.
Proposed Merger Delayed.
In their efforts to secure from Liller the
rosters of camps and other official papers
of the Spanish-Ameriean War Veterans
Association the officers of that body claim
that they are meeting with many difficult
ties. These papers are necessary to bring
about the proposed amalgamation with the
Spanish War Veterans. with headquarters
in this city When process was served on
Liller to recover the documents In ques-
ton 1t is alleged he first stated that the
papers had been sold at sherif's sale and
he had bought them in. Later 1t is alleged
he informed the officials that he had burned
all the records and papers
This fight between Liler and the organi-
cation has delayed the proposed union of
the two associations which is strongly IA
vored by President Roosevelt.

Du Chaillu's Birthplace.

From the New York Tribune.
One can understand why historians might
be uncertain as to the precise date Of the
birth Of Christ and Of Homer. and why
there should be difficulty in determining
the place where the author of the Had first
drew breath. 1t is more puzzllng. though, to
observe the discrepancies In the accounts
of Du Chaillu's origin which are contained
in biographical dictionaries. Equally repu-
table works disagres. IN the American
Who's Who he Isl SAID to have been
born in New Orleans In 1888. and In the
English publication having the same name
he Is credited to Pafis.' and. though the
day is identical-JulSb 31Athe year Of his
birth is set down as 1885? ANY one who Is
familiar with the practice Of the editors of
the first mentioned book of reference would
take it for granted that the sketch which
1t contains was submitted9to the subject be-
fore printing. Yet that pFscaution may not
have been practicable and there is no
reason to think thato the English WHO'S
Who Is conducted with less care than its
namesake At any rate, the bulk Of the
testimony Is in favor of a foreign birth and
the earlier of the two dates Increased con-
fdence In some of the statements to that
effect Is inspired by the fact that they are
accompanied with such details as the place
Of his naturalization and the newspapers
which published his first important articles.
1t requires no effort of the imagination
however. to perceive that the task of Sc
curing an authentic biography Of Du Chail-
1u was beset with peculiar embarrassments.
During the first few years OF HIS public ca
reer he was so generally looked upon as q
Munchausen that there was no great de-
mand for accurate information concerning
him. The time having arrived when this
was wanted. he was usually inaccessible
himself. His parents were probably dead.
He seems to have had no brothers and sis
ters. at least in this country. Moreover.
he was unmarried
