Chambersburg, Pa., cbalrman of the standing committee on Freedmen's mis- slons, presented the thirty-seveath annual report of the board of missions for Freed- then, The report says the year just elosed has Been one of activity and sucoess; the growth of the work hsn been nérmal and healthy, More money was received during the year than for any similar period in the last elght years, Attemtion Is directed to the good work done by the" schools. Nearly 11,000 puplls havé come under Pres- byterian instruction, The number of min- iaters on the fleld has increased from 201 to 209 and the number of ohurches and misetons from 342 to 383, The “treasurer's report shows cash on hand March 31, 1901, 2,560, Recelpts from all sources during the year snded March 31, 1902, were $155,804, After all expenditure including salaries, printing, interest and In- vestments, were deducted there remalned & balance of $1,057, The report does not include in any way the $88,254 contributed by churohes and schools for self-support, A detalled report by synods accompanied the statement of the board. Report of Board for Freedmen, Rev, Dr, B, P, Cowhn, secretary and treasurer of the Board for Freedmen, next took the platform, ~ He sald that the Presbyterian church would have to bestir itself and do Iits share among the Freed- men If the day was to be ushered In when the Freedmen could take their stand, net only as political, but spiritual equals of the whites. Rev. John MacGoniglé ‘of Bt Fla., also made an appeal for the Freed- meén's misslons, He commenced by saying that the negro was not religious by nature, He was only emotional and superstitious The average colored preacher In the south, he sald, was lgnorant, “They play upon the emotlons of their peoplo on Bunduys,” ho sald, "by preaching about & paradiss of lasiness as w reward for the good, and a hell for the wickéd, On week days they set examples which will lead those that follow them to eternal per< dition,” Mr, MaeGonigle offered. an Imlnflfl.nt to the report of the standing committee rec ommending that the contributions of the church to the Freedmen's work be increased 60 per cent during thé coming year. The report of the Fresdme: board, with Rev, Mr, MacGonigle's comment, was ac- cepted and adopted, Rev, Dr. A, McKinley of Steubenville, O., presented the report of the board of educ: tion. Augustine, Good Financial Showin The board Announces ‘that /it ‘has met all the financial engagements of the year without Incuring any debt, hut . has a somewhat diminished balance {no the hands of tho treasurér, The recelpts from the churches, Sabbath schools . and. young peoples’ socleties amounted to $44,170 us compared with §43,940 last year. Only the fact that the number of candidates en- rolled for the yeaf was abnormally small made it possible to carry out the purpose to make a better provisfon for them than in recent.years, $100 ‘bofng given to stu- dents in the' olleg! seminary courses and $80 to etudents in the prepara. tory course. This is the highest rate paid since 1804, The number of didates under. the care of the board during ths year was 572. The income was acardely sufficfent.to provide for them and the repoyt:points out that if there should be_an {nérease of say 100 mext year there would ‘be tle lfll\'w with regard to the $10,000 12" be hflM for the emergency. No Addition to. Rewerve Fu There were received by legacies during the year $2479. The amount pald to'candidates this year is $56,680, as cormpared with $46,333 last year, Under the dirctimstances it has not been poesiblé to make any sdditions to the reserve fund, The number 'of new recommendations acted favorably upon is 140, as compared with 127 acoepted last yesr. The number of renewed recommiendations for this year is 433, as compared with 478 during the pre- vious year. Thé déérease in the number of candidates continues, although apparently at & less rapid rate. The board believes the piblication of views that the church hias too many ministers already, fortified by statis- tics tending to h 1 beyond existing 'opportunities for service, be reckoned with as among the causes which discourage. young men from devoting thelr lives to work in the éacred office. We have given much consideration to this subject. Not a few appear to be of the opinlon ‘that we cannot'expect young men to offer their services until the un- leasant features attending servios in the min are removed or ameliorated. We belleve " there ‘18 Toom for great Improves ment in the church’s management of its affairs and trust that with persevering seal it will continue to seek to remove all de- fects from ‘s system, but the ways of the falthful minister never be m: from many trials and diMculty e 1iitle ‘confidence In the. supposed divine call of any man who does Bt feel prepared to face them.

PREFER TO CRITICIZE RATHER THAN HELP, Refers to Pending L ation as Most Important Plece of Constructive Work Sinece the Civil War. WASHINGTON, May 19.~Only & brief time was devoted by the senate today to consideration of the Philippine government bill, Mr, Dolliver of Iowa supported the bill, which he sald was one of the most important pleces of sonstructive legisiation presented since the olvil war, He ar- raigned the demeeratic minority for its op+ position to the measurs, He insisted that the Philippine insurrection, as a military proposition, was a thing of the past and de. clared that In mo circumatances should the United Btates relinquish the Philippine The chair Jald befora the sanate the letter of the Fremch government transmitted through Ambassador Cambon to the sscre- tary of state, expressing the thanks of that government for the saympathy evinced by the president and the congress and the: natfon of the United States toward the sufferers from the oatastrophe in Martinique, The communieation was referred to the commit- tee on foreign relations. Indian Land Provist A jolnt resolutfon was oftered by Mr, Stewart and adopted providing that the part of the Indlan appropriation bill, which relates to subjecting to entry certain min- ing lands in the Spokane Indian reservA- tion, shall take effect when the allotments to the Indians are completed, A Dbill providing for the retirement of Surgeon General Sternberg as a major gen- eral was passed, Mr, Dolliver of Iowa then began his ad- drees in support of the Philippine bill, He #ai4 the pending bill presented the most important constructive work #lnce the ofvil wa And yet, ho sald, he was disappointed that not a single helpful suggestion has been made by the minority, He suggested that the democrats had evinced a studied avoldance of the matter in hand. The ar- guments advanced by the minority simply were ‘‘a most reckless indictment of the United States in its civil and military gove ernment, No Republican Wants to Quait, Mr. Dolliver declared that no fepublican, on party grounds, would ask for a cessation of hostilities, in the Philippines, for every man must know that-no political advantage could be gained by an attack upon the army of the United States. The charge had been made, he sald, that the government had entered upon a wicked conspiracy against 10,000,000 peaple, He has listened - to the maliclous tirade through which an attempt had been made to Impeach the motives of this govern. ment. He was sdatisfied that the party in power could make Its way through this voleano of malevolencs and malice with- out harm to it, Mr, Dolliver paid a beautiful tribute to the late Preaident McKinley and his polley in the Philippines, #aying that in Mo- policy there was not & note of greed or covelousness. lr. Dolliver had found it difcult, as he “plunderers” and “carpetbaggers’’ flung recklessly from the 1ips of demo- cratic statesmen, to determine just where whetheér he was really in the sen- ate of the Unuo« States, n Mr. Dolitver said: of the United States is more likely to.cede back the valley of the Mississippl to the lawful heirs of Napoleon the Great than to leave the Philippine archipelago to:become the prey of anarchy or the prize of some Huropean power."

Mr. Warren explained that the Selfridge board claims had been omitted from the bill, the house refusing to agree to them.

An appeal was taken and the chalr was overruled to 108. The question then was on agreelng to the amend- ment, Mr. Foss urged the members to consider what the amendment meant. Past expe- rience, he said, had proved that it cost 50 per cent more to bulld ships in government ards than In private yards and he cited Texas and Maine. Mr, Foss quoted Admiral Bowles as having sald that if he were per- mitted to make the conditions he would build ships cheaply in government yards under private contracts, but he would make the hours of labor the same as in private yards; he would wipe out the leaves of absence; would pay the labore: n the pavy yards by the plece and would wipe out all holldays for which they are pald.
