Several speakers followed with speeches
OF conciliatory nature. and when Vice
Moderator James put the recommends
lions of the committee to a vote they
were adopted. and 1t was believed a tense
situation had been succeeded by harmony,
which had heretofore marked all the
deliberations Of the assembly. but it soon
developed that the storm had not yet
spent its force.
DR.. William D. Merrill OF Chicago Sc
cured the floor and complained that he
had been refused recognition until too
late to offer an amendment to the COM
mittee's recommendations. The vice mod
orator ruled that the amendment could
not be considered. as the report had been
adopted. but commissioner after as
surfing the friends of the report that he
had voted for its adoption and thus estab-
lished his right to make the motion,
moved that the adoption Of the report
of the committee be reconsidered. and
the motion carried.
DR.. Merrill then offered his amendment.

Missionary Work Discussed at
Presbyterian Assembly.
DONATIONS RECORD BROKEN
Reported the Largest in the History
of the Church.
LIVELY TALK OVER REPORT
Sentiment Indicated a Reorganiza-
ton Of Administration Agencies
Of Presbyterian Society.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. May 27-Foreign
missionary work was reported on and dis
cussed at the general assembly OF the
PRESBYTERIAN Church in the United States
Of America today. Great progress in this
field of EVANGELISM was indicated by the
report of the foreign mission board. Not
only has the work prospered by the great
number of new communicates added to
the rolls of the church. but 1t was shown
that the natives in many foreign fields
were contributing sums Of money large
enough to make many OF the missionaries
self-surporting.
The evangelistic spirit developed in the
native churches. the spirit or co-opera-
ton among the many denominations In
the foreign field and the unity of the diff
ferent branches Of the Presbyterian
Church in foreign missionary work were
matters upon which the board laid spe-
cial stress to show the happy state OF
this field of effort.
1t was shown that in spiritual results
the last year had been the best In the
history OF the board.
The board reported that more money
was contributed this year for foreign mis-
sions than during any previous year in
its history, the total amount including
legacies. being more than 81 800, OO0 OF
this sum churches gave S5S6,0OO, an in
crease Of S91. 900 over the preceding year.
The total expenditures for the year
amounted to S1.453, 900. A portion Of the
deficit reported was due to the fact that
less was received from the Cumberland
churches than was appropriated for them.
Reason for the Deficit.
The main reason for the deficit was that
while the legacies account fell off during
the year. approximately 100000 was re-
ceived which had to be applied for spe-
cial purposes in the foreign field by di-
rection and insistence of its donors.
A shorter catechism. which will be
couched in simpler language than the
short catechism'' now in use by the
church. was recommended by the COM
mittee on bills and overtures. This cate
chism must cover the system Of faith and
practice taught in the Holy Scriptures.
and is intended for home instruction and
for the Sabbath schools. but 1t shall not
be one Of the standards Of the church.
This shall be known as an intermediate
catechism. and a committee Of six min
listers and three elders. Of which the
moderator shall be the chairman. will re-
port on the recommendation at the next
general assembly.

BENNlNorows LAST cHINAMAN
Colony of One Lone Celestial Has Mi
grated to New York.

Seid Sam, Chinaman who went
under the American name Of John Lee
and who up to a few days ago main
tanned a laundry on North street, has
moved himself and his household
goods TO the metropolis and at the
present writing the census returns for
Bennington would show that the com
muuity has no cinnamon living within
it's limits.
John had not been at his former
place of business for a number of days
for the reason that he had taken up
enforced lodgings at the county jail.
John and his landlord didn't agree for
the reason that John didn't pay the
rent and as the owner Of the property
wanted a tenant who would return
some revenue, eXtradition papeIs
were taken out against John and plac-
ed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff
Nash for service. John resisted, be
ing deposed from the place and even
pulled a gun when the officer appear
ed with the writ Of eiectment.
After his arrest and incarceration
officer Nash, who realized that the
celestial was under the influence of
intOXicants Of some nature at the
time, refused TO appear against the
chinaman and Tuesday a writ charg-
ing the washee-washee with assault
was made out and the native OF the
Flowery Kingdom was told that un.
less he got out Of town before the pa
per could be served upon him that
there would be trouble John didn't
