FIVE MILLION FOR
FOREIGN MISSIONS
Report to NJ. +. Church, North
Conference, Shows That Amount
Raised in Four Years-No-
gro Bishops for Colored.

Minneapolis, MINI. May TO-
Contributions received in the last
four years by the general commit
tee for foreign missions of the
Methodist Episcopal church, aggre-
gated s5,i77, 259, according to the
committee report presented to the
general conference last night. Tab
ulation of the contributions showed
that the proportionate increase in
special contributions has been
greater in that period than the in
crease in the regular contributions.
The report recommends that the
general conference carefully con-
slider the question of special gifts
with a view of harmonizing the do
nations with the needs of the diff
ferent fields.
The question of separate contri-
buttons for foreign and home mis-
sion fields is also presented to the
conference in the report and atten-
ton is directed to the progress in
foreign missions in the past "a
years showing an increase of 400
missionaries and 1891 native
preachers.
The difficulties met by mission
aries by reason of revolutions in
two of the most important foreign
fields, Mexico and China, are
touched on in the report which
finds cause for rejoicing that the
future in both fields is bright.
The Woman's Home Missionary
Society has acquired property
amounting to S2,360,244, which is
used for homes, missions and hos
pitfalls. The work of the society is
done among southern whites, ne
groes, Mormons, Indians, immi-
grants and foreign population of
large cities.
The question of whether negro
churches shall have a bishop of
their own race is being debated to-
day.
The conference approved the
worldwide peace movement and
commended President Taft for the
part he has taken in it. Former
Vice President Chas. w. Fairbanks,
who is prominent in the church,
arrived last night.

TEXAS DELEGATION
SOLID FOR WILSON
Canvass OF County Convention Re-
turns Indicate New Jersey Gov
ernor VIII Control Convention

Dallas, Tex, May i0.--A careful
canvass of the Democratic county
convention returns shows there is
not even the remotest possibility
of Gov. Wilson'S opponents captur-
ing even one Of Texas 40 delegates
to the national convention at Bal
timore. The Wilson men have a
sufficient majority in the state
convention to override any action
of the districts.
The returns show that Harmon
men have a majority of three in
the seventh district, while in the
ninth district the balance OF power
is held by contesting delegates, and
in the fifteenth by Clark delegates.
In all other districts Wilson men
are in majority.

to him that not before In five years

The man dragged it out. held It in
