The annual meeting of the general ■ committee of the Freedman’s Aid Sp- . ciety and the Southern Education So ciety was concluded at the HanSon Place M. E. Church, Brooklyn, N. T., on the 9th. ’ Bishop W. P. Mallaliev, of Bos ton, presided at the business meeting. The question, of the liquidation of $35,- 000 indebtedness to the Methodist ,Book 'Goncern was referred to a finance'com mittee of . five aDpointed by the chair. A. claim of the Eev. J. W. Hamilton, of. the,New England confertaoo, also referred to a similar commitlee. A - motioM ft^iK macle Oraustoii, but finally withdrawn, .that the . com mittee on appropriations keep within the limit of the $106,000 voted for school purposes from 18,98 to 1899, and that the amount should not be drawn upon pre- yipus to the beginning of the year! ■ A report of the confei'ence committee to .the effect that the con esponding secre tary b® instructed to write the pastors : bf 6ach ichurch ai the beginning of the c,onference ' year, requiring a Eipecial colleeiioh to be takeri up for the benefit of the .society, be -made every three teoiths thereafter until a response is r.eueived, was adopted. The Eev.: Dr:' ; : John Pearson, of Cincinnati, .secretary . of the, committee.oh building, to im- , provements., reported that his coinmit- 'tee : .was in urgent hee^^ of $9,000, of . which $7,000 was. for indebtedness al- ■:. ready iacurred, and asked for an appro- : priatioh' 'coverihg ' ;the ' ainount.

He has announced the appointment of the sub-committees, and those on the pension and the legisla tive, exeontive and judicial bills have been, called to meet Nov. 27, a week in advance of the assembling of Congress. As the house is fully organized by the appointment of all the standing com- mittees, it will be «xt>ected to get to Work as sooil aS .it rgassembles. Jor tbs regular session on Mondaj',' . Dec. 3. Ordinarily it requires a month to or ganize. the house, and thehionth.Of December at the regular session sees practically nothing dn.the ^yay of legis lation accomplished. But the organiza tion of th.e house at the special session this year will save valuable time, and it is almost certain that at' least one of the regular appropriation bills and probably two will have been passed before the Christnias recess is taken. Most of the menabers who have alreadj’' arrived in town express the opinion that the com ing session will be the shortest regular “long session” of Congress in years. Ordinarily the lohg session lasts from six to ten months. Mr... Hopkins, of Illinois, one of the prorninent Bepubli- oan 1 eadera, predicts that Gongress will have coinpleted its work and adjourned before May 1. " The first annual report of Postmaster (General James A. Gaiy to the president has been made iMblic. Its ^feature is tiie strong . advocficy of postal savings depositories, a. scheme over which Postmaster General Gary has worked for many months in the formulation of plans to present to the president and congress. He says the time is ripe for their establishment and that the adop tion of a well organized system would confer a great boon upon a large, num ber of people and ul timately be of ines timable benefit to the whole: country. The estimates for the revenues and ex- pen,ditiires for the -fiscal year ending June .30, 1899, are; Total postal rev-, enue for 1897, $82,665,463.73; add 5 per cent.-v $4,188,373.13; .Estimated revenue for 1898,$86,678,735-85; add 7 per cent., $6,075,911. 51.
