To-day it i8 put at 1,440,0 n the estimated number adherents was 200,000,000 e X During the century the per cent » in povulation has been about 41 The per cent Increase in the number of istians for the same period has been re than 185. In the ar 1890 there were about 211,000,000 under Christian government Since then the number has been constantly increasing until to-da it . h reached ¥0,000. There are a milllon and a half of converts to show for this century of work among the heathen. Since we gathered here last Sabbath 2000 souls, at the lowest esti- mate, have been brought into the light of Christianity, and that among Pagan nations only. And who shall lift the veil of the next century? We may not generalize amid the smoke of battle, but the backward look makes one thing clear: Everything is going right.

SRt Y | The United Stat that arrived s transport Leelanaw, vesterday from Honolulu, narrowly escaped total wreck Saturday on a reef south of Montara. She came nto port leaking and at once transferred | the cargo in her hold to the transport | Rio Janeiro, preparatory to going upon ’lh", drydock for inspection and repairs. She wa ore several hours on the rocks, not far from a point where several have been totally wrecked. The sea w luckily smooth and only a small swell was stirring from the time she struck to the time when she was worked | off into deep water. She is not badly in- jured. Yesterday as she lay beside the Rio, shifting her cargo, she was able to keep cut the water with her donkey pump. The story of the wreck is told b Captain Storrs, who commands the Le lanaw, . | “The vessel grounded on a reef to the south of Montara,” he said, “‘about six- @ | teen miles from the bar, during a fog_so 4 | thick that I could not see the lookout.

A meet- ing of themen held yesterday afternoon at A. O. F. hall, 102 O'Farreil street, Jame: Ryan presiding, and after discussing the | sttuation decided to issue orders that all n“miun that it w: work on United States army transports out until the eight-hour system is acknowledged. It was also decided that any boilermaker who works on any 20| transport until the eight-hour rule is| adopted will be declared a ‘“scab” for life. Chairman Ryan announced that the meeting had been called for the purpose | | of taking action on the recent orders of | the Fulton and Risdon Iron Works, which insisted that nine hours' work and ten hours’ pay should constitute a day’'s work on all contracts on United States trans- now inside ten hours at 32 cents per hour, while on outside jobs they work | refuse to work on transport contracts at | that rate, demanding $3 % for a day's work of eight hours. These shops paid their men $3 25 for eight hours’ work for only one week, then insisting on the old rate, to which the boilermakers would not agree. The men claim that Captain Barneson, | superintendent of the transports service, | had agreed with them that on transport contracts eight hours would be considered a day's work, and had so declared him- elf to a committee of hoilermakers. The Kisdon people insist that the committee | had misunderstcod the captain’s | ana, acting on the suggestion of the com- mittee, the captain was called on and he | declared himself in favor of the eight- | hour system.
