Foreign Secretary, - Rev. Dr. Barton,
Presented an Elaborate Report to
tne Amencan Board of Commission
,rs -ncvicws Situation and Makes
.Suggestions.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 11. "The An
nual Survey of the Missions" was pre
sented at-today's session of the Ameri
can Board of Commissioners for For-
eiga Missions, which is holding its1 an
nual meeting here, by Rev. James L.
Barton, D. D., of Boston, the foreign
secretary of the board.
After referring to the eight honored
missionaries of the Board who have
died during the past year, Secretary
Barton began his survey of the field
with a review of the outstanding polit
ical events of the year; the revolution
in Mexico; the difficulties of the flew
regime in administering the Turkish
government; China's rapid step for
ward towards representative govern
ment and the change to Republican
government in Portuguese West Afri
ca. All - these changes, he affirmed,
have made conditions for missionary
work brighter. A larger religious lib
erty is looked for in Mexico with more
emphasis put upon education. Liberty
of the press, freedom of travel, and
freedom of speech have been continu
ed in Turkeq though under some .per
haps necessary limitations. The rapid
suppression of the opium trade and the
advance ofother reforms in China aug
er well for better conditions in that
Empire. And if the statement of Por
tuguese officials can be relied upon,
missionary work in Portuguese Africa
will receive more liberal consideration
in the future, than in the past. The
relations between the natives and the
government in Natal "have also been
greatly improved under the new gov
ernment there. J
Readjustments in mission fields and
m otner management Decome neces
sary from time to time, as in the case
of all living and" growing bodies. Dr.
Patton's visit to several of the mis
sion fields this year and the sending
of a commission to Turkey next year
for a Conference of all Turkish mis
sions to reveiew their interests togeth
er and to decide upon new plans and
policies are an indication that the the
Board is endeavoring to keep its work
well ih; hand, and adopted to new con
ditions as they arrive. In the interest
of missipnary comity and efficiency
certain transfers of missions have been
made or are contemplated. The Mis
sion at Guanf has, been passed over to
the General Baptist Foreign Mission
ary society 01 lnaiana; lieguLiuLiuiis
are in progress with the: Methodist
Episcopal Church, North, with refer
ence to passing over the . American
Board's work in Spain to them, as that
body is especially well equipped for
work in European countries. Certain
changes in the Micronecian Islands and
in some parts of Turkish missions look
ing toward better co-operation with
other missionary societies are still un
der consideration.
As one look over the fields to note!
the more conspicuous events or me
year, attention is called to the decis
ion of - transfer the Psugshwang Sta
tion to "Techou in North China only
eisiht miles away, bur; ''on the. railroad
and Grand Central, a wide awake and
important location which offers a bet-
er centre for missionary work. In
West Africa, plans are maturing for
the organization of training school for
young men to providep Teachers1 and
teachers for the .work of evangelization
in that country. In the Madura Mis
sion the new plan? of giving into the
hands of the native churches, a large
responsibility and control in general
work of the" mission while still m its
infancy, promises, a real advance, ai
Van and Mardin,, in Eastern Turkey,
the call is ''becoming very urgent for
enlarged educational work. The sta
tion at Van is called upon to supply
educated' leaders for not only Eastern
- J
Turkey, but Southern itussia, am
Western Persia, and feels the need ot
a school of college grade. .Similarly
Mardin, which touches Arabi people's
to the south, feels the need of an insti
tution nf srrade that will enable it to
train native preachers and teachers.
In stormy Albania, where the sky
seems now brightening a little, the
Board has decided to make Elbasan ite
centre of work. It plans to build a
house on land already purchased, to
be followed in' time by hospital and
school. - " '" ' '.'

work in several fields of the Board,

San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 11. Re
turns from the Constitutional amend
ment election throughout the State in
dicate, that the woman ''suffrage pro
vision made a close run. Returns from
1,367 precincts' in Jhe State give 60,98
in favor and 63,589 against. The' back
country vote helped the suffragettes.
Woman suffrage's fate in California
depends on San Francisco's vote.
With half the State's precinctsoutside
of 'Frisco heard from, the suffrage has
about five thousand majority. The
Statey apparently votes strongly for
the ballot for women. Later returns
may swell the majority. In 'Frisco
the vote was heavily against.
Later Woman suffrage has been de
feated in California. With seven pre
cincts uncounted, San Francisco's ma
jority against granting suffrage is 1 3,-
273. The majority in the State f avoi-
ing granting suffrage will not exceed

ties and the desperate need of advance
to improve them; situations of which
Rhodesia in Africa, Shangi in China,
and the central mission in Turkey arc
conspicuous examples but whose urg
ency is hardly less than that of most
of the twenty missions, Secretary
Barton answered the question, shall
they" go forward? by saying: "Un
der these circumstances ,to tell them
that they cannot advance because in
neither can adequate re-enforcements
be" found nor can appropriations be
made to meet the increased expense
involved,l.'tor majt them- feeiR&nesi
abandoned Just as they are about to
gather the harvest for which they
have toiled so long."
It is interesting and encouraging to
note that in spite of the financial
straits of recent years with the conse
quent repression, some real enlarge
ment has been made, although almost
all of it has come through special
funds from outside sources." In all
$700,000 has been spent or is about
to be spent on new plants, buildings,
etc. in the various fields.
As the work of mission centers in
the task of evangelism, it is good to
report that there has been a real prog
ress during, the year in the develop
ments of churches and in the more'
aggressive spirit of evangelism in
many lands. A successful American
merchant in New York maintained an
experienced and tried native evange
list In Central Turkey. The Central
Turkey Mission is. putting evangelists
of its own number into the field. In
Japan, the Kumi-ai churches are be
ginning to organize a systematic and
aggressive campaign1-to evangelize the
masses outside the chief cities. In
some parts of China, notably at Fen
chow in Shansi there seems to be an
almost -phenomenal trend towards
Christianity. India also presents some!
striking signs of mass movements to
ward Christianity. The East African
Mission plans to set' apart one of Ats
men as director of the evangelizing
forces in outside fields. The great and
hardly touching Sabi Valley district
beyond tnem is continually appealing
for the light. In Austria the spirit of
evangelism pervades the churches.
Secretary Barton then reviewed the
educational advance of the year. The
sum of ,000,000 has been received fori

Fund, whose goal is se$ at ?2,000,000.
The first Institutions to receive its aid
are those trainingjpoung men for the
mlnistry-Pne"lnfluence and power of
education- is deepening constantly
throughout the east, especially in the
training of girls.' .Industrial educa
tion is not being over -pressed, but in
some countries, like Africa, is of large
importance. .
The statistics of the year, while not
a -sufficient Index of growth, show ad
vance in many wa.ys. The missionary
body remains about 'the same in num
ber. The native laborers show an in
crease of more "than 140. Churches and
schools have made gains. The figures
of medical work cover 2 hospitals and
37. dispensaries, and show record ser
vice to cover 35000 patients last year,
and total treatments in hospitals and
dispensaries being 244,000. Native con
tributions amount to the substantial
sum of $295,360., When the value of a
dollar in many of these places is con
sidered, this gain is most significant. .

far as their navigability is concerned,
These estimates will be gone over .by
a board of army officers of which
General W. H. Bixby is the head and
,in due season forwarded to Congress
by the Secretary of War. These esti
mates will be necessarily pruned in
order that the river and harbor appro

be enacted at the coming session of
Congress, may be kept within the thir-.
ty -million mark, as word has gone
forth to the Chairmen of Committees
having appropriation bills in charge
to cut appropriations to the bone.
In anticipation of a river and harbor
bill at the coming session of Congress,
a number of very important water
way conventions, interested in dis
tinctive projects will be held ' during
the month of October, commencing
with the Lake-to-the-Gulf Deep Wat

which contemplates the. building of
an inland passage from Maine to
Florida, meets in the City of Rich

of October and which,' according to its
president, Hon. J. Hampton Moore,
member of Congress from Pennsylva
nia, will bring, together a larger -number
of delegates than have attended
any of the former sessions of this or
ganization. Following closely on the heels of
the Richmond convention comes the
