THE VISIT TO PANAMA
Preparing the Tran sport
Sumner for the Voyage.
A BIG PARTY MAY GO
SECRETARY TAFT HOPES TO TAKE
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES.
It is Expected That the Trip Will Not
Take More Than a Month-Re-
ports of Friction Denied.

The big military transport Sumner, now
out of commission at New York, is being
fitted out for the purpose of taking Sec
rotary Taft and party to Panama. AS
stated in yesterdays Star, the main pur-
pose of Secretary Taft's visit to the 18TH
mus is to give personal assurances to the
president and officials of the Panaman
government that the United States has
no desire or intention to transgress any
of the rights of Panama in utilizing the
canal strip for the construction of the
interoceanic canal.
A Large Party.
Although the final arrangements for
the trip have not yet been completed, 1T
is practically settled that the party will
leave New York about the 14th of No
vember and that Secretary Taft will be
accompanied by Rear Admiral Walker,
chairman of the canal commission; Judge
Magoon, law officer of the commission,
and all members of the Senate and House
committees dealing with isthmian affairs
who are willing to go. Secretary Taft
has been authorized by the President to
take with him whomsoever he pleases to
facilitate the work at hand, and while
the entire personnel of the party has not
yet been fully arranged, it is certain to
be a large and representative one.
1t is expected that the trip Will not take
more than a months time, and the hope
is expressed that the members OF the con-
gressonal isthman committees Will be able
to make the trip.
One reason why Secretary Taft is de-
SirouS of the committees attendance is be-
cause he feels that as they must leSls-
late for the next ten years concerning the
canal strip they will be better qualified for
that important work by a personal knowl-
edge of conditions the 1SthmuS.

BAPTIST MISSION PLAN.
To Raise 100000 for Education of
NatiUe Ministry in Foreign Fields.

Cleveland, May 1S.--A proposed important
innovation was announced to-day at the Baptist
anniversaries now being held in this city. 1t is
the purpose of the Church to raise endow-
ment fund of 100000, to be used in the educa-
ton of a native ministry in foreign mission
fields. The following official statement of the
plan is made:
The American Baptist Missionary Union
marked it's ninetieth anniversary by an ad-
missionary policy. This transfers the en-
phasis from the evangelistic to the educational
phase of the work in foreign lands, and means
not less attention to gospeltztng heathen ma
tiOns, but more TO higher learning. The fact is
recognized that the first stages of missionary
effort passed, and foreign peoples cannot be
Christianized fully until a native ministry Is
raised up. This question has been under discus
sion two days by the board of managers, VINO
presented unanimously a recommendation 10
the society that the Missionary Union should
enter Il campaign to raise S5OO,cpO for a per
manent general endowment fund to be held IN
vested in this country by the union in trust Tor
its educational work in the foreign field; that
this fund be completed within a period Of five
years. and a committee of seven be appointed
have the raising Of the endowment In charge
President Wood, of Newton seminary, VINO
presented the resolution. said il the most
important action proposed in many years. MIL
lions had been raised for educational endoW-
ments in America; it time now to begin
endowmcnts for our mission colleges and uni
VeTSites This 4 far sighted policy ms
100000 put into training native minister's
would in ten years produce greater effect than
ten times the spent on evanSelization by
American missionaries. The union was plan
ming for the future The ordinary receipts OF
the union should not be interfered with. since
endowment funds always came from the few
The resolution was adopted amid enthusiasm.
This policy will affect the missionary work
of the Baptists in all the Eastern countries, es-
peCially in China, pan and the Philippines.
The selection Of the special committee of seven
was left to the executive committee.
