Teles ta The Star PRESBYTERIAN MISSIONS. The Church Keeps up its Good Work Whether the Money Comes or Not. Saratooa, N.Y., May 21.—The time of the Presbyterian Assembly this morning was occu- pied in hearing the report and recommenda- tions of the board of foreign missions, Dr, David J. Burrill of Minneapolis, chairman of the standing committee, read the report. The total number of missionaries now in the field is 576. The work in China was especially encourging, notwithstanding the relations between the government and China, The re- sultin Corea is almost marvelous. The treas- urer’s report was of a less cheerful nature. The receipts of the board from all sources during the year were §794,066, a decrease of $53,749 over last year and of $107,095 in 1887. Deficit carried forward to the new year $60,275.93. The number of churches contributing is 3,744, a falling off of 13. The contributions of the women’s committees and Sunday schools saves the deficit from being even larger. Never but once before has the board been so encompassed with trouble. Something must be done to raise money. There can and will be retrenchment. Over one million dollars is needed for the coming year. We are perplexed but notin despair; cast down but not destroyed. We petition the assembly to devise some means of assistance. It was asked that u special collection be taken in all the churches some Sabbath in June or October. The moderator here requested Dr. Crosby to take the platform. ‘The assembly rose and stood while Dr, Crosby offered a prayer. : Dr. Burrill then made a stirring address in support of the recommendations of the report. He was frequently interrupted by applause. Rev. Dr. Ellenwood, one of the secretaries of the board, followed Dr. Burrill, He thought the Presbyterian church was trying too many things with one collection. The report was adopted. eS SULLIVAN TO FIGHT IN VIRGINIA. He and Joe McAuliffe Will Mect inthe Old Dominion in July. New York, May 21.—Col. J. M.

Word has just been received by the Salt Lake Tribune of the killing of Mr. Collin of the firm of Collin & Kilpatrick, contractors of Omaha, last Tuesday near Pieoche, Nev. Two men who were employed by Collin quit work and demanded their pay. Collin told them that they could not quit aud that he would not pay them, One of them got a Winchester and the two made another de- mand, Collin still refused. One of them, taking out his watch, said they would give him just exght minutes to settle, holding the watch in his hand, while the other held the gun in close proximity to their victim, Collin did not appear to weaken, and at the end of the eight minutes the man shot and killed him. ‘The tragedy is said to have been witnessed b; a number of people, but no attempt was mat to avert it and no arrests were made. The pub- lic sentiment appears to be with the men who did the killing. Ex-Queen Isabella in London.

Rumors have been in circulation for some time of a plan to remove the National Con- servatory of Music, now situsted at 128 East 17th street, to Washington city. A reporter of The Evening Post today sought an in- terview with Mrs Jeanette M. Thurber to learn what foundation there might be for these reports, Mrs. Thurber said that it had been suggested by citizens of Washington that its work would be more truly national in charac- ter if located at the national capital, and that the Washingtonians and leading public men there from all parts of the country have mani- fested much interest in the project and wished to make the national capital the center of the beaux arta. “I suggested,” continued Mra, Thurber. “that as Chicago is to have the world’s fair and New York # naval parade, the capital of the nation shonid have a permanent memorial of the oc- casion which would add to her material wealth and to her reputation as an art center. at the same time furnishing a much-needed place for meetings, &c, “The suggetion was received with much favor, and as the boundary corner-stone of the District of Columbia and the location of the seatof the government was laid the 15th of April, 1791, so the coming 15th of April, 1891, would be a most appropriate centennial occa- sion for iaying the corner-stone of such a struc- ture. which might be completed and inaugu- rated in the Columbus centennial year. “For the District of Columbia (named after Columbus, and where our seat of government is located) to omit doing something to com- memorate @ centennial occasion so frenght with public interest. and when other parts of our country are expending many millions for a transient celebration, it would indeed be an anomaly if the District of Columbia and the national capital were passed by unnoticed. _ “Some of the prominent citizens of Wash- ington said to me: ‘Now that you have sug- gested a cage will you furnish ‘the birds?’ and from this suggestion came a serious proposal that the work of the National Conservatory of Music of America should be transferred to Washington. The proposition was formally submitted to the trustees of the institution, and after full consideration this resolution was una: ew York as been suggested lig citizens of Washington that the National Conservatory of Music of America now located at New York would be more suitably located as a national institution at the capital ot the nation; © ‘Resolved. ‘hat when proper accommoda- tions for the institution have been provided at Washington and the necessary legislation ob- tained it be removed to that city.’ “Of course it will take probabiy two years to erect the contemplated buildings, and in the meantime the work of the conservatory will continue in New York as usual, It may be that as our work develops we may adopt a sug- gestion made by Dr. W. T.
