E. E, Strong, Mrs. J. G. Grncey and the
Rev. A. Woodruff Ilulsey, D. D.
At the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
ohuroh moetiug, Dr. E. M. Bliss, of tho
Independent, dwelt upon the press as a
means for tho distribution of mission
ary information. Ho contradicted what
he said in a very widely extended im
pression that tho press is not interested
in missions and claimed they are inter
ested whenover they have the genuine
missionary news.
At tho meeting at the Church of tho
Strangers. Mrs. Wellington White, for
merly of tho Presbyterian board of
China, created a profound impression by
her startnng pieturo of a procession of
blind she had seeu iu China.

New York, April 80. Carnegie hall
was not filled when the Indian mass
meeting, under the auspices of tho Ecu
menical conference, was called to order.
President tieth Low, of Columbia uni
versity, was tho first speaker. Ho con
trasted the population of tho United
States, 75,000,000, with India's 250,000,
000, and snid tlmt tho United States, to
bo as thickly populated, would havo
750,000,000.
Mr. Low then introduced Rev. Dr.
John H. Barrows, president of Oberlin
univorsity. Mr. Barrows described the
differences in tho selfishness of castes.
He said that India was a continent
rather than a country. A contiuent
with nearly 300,000,000 peoplo, one-third
of which wero on the verge of starva
tion.
Bishop Henry C. Potter said that the
evident interest displayed at the' meet
ing should focus itself. It should be.
come operative and active.
Rev. Dr. Johnson, a missionary of
Central India, said ho had passed
through three Indian famines. He told
some pitiful and pathetio stories of the
sacrifices of . womou especially of
women for their children.
The daughter of Rami Bey was in
trodnced by Chairman Low. Her story
was about 250 girls saved in the famine
of 1897 b7 her mother. Others also
talked.
Chairman Low announced that 20
students from the Union theological
seminary would take up a collection,
and added:
"The Chinese merchants of British
Columbia united a few days ago to send
a collection for the sufferers in tho
burned city of Ottawa. If the Chinese
have learned tho lesson of brotherhood,
how much more should we exemplify
it."
A list of names of prominent men
was read as composing a committee to
collect mouey for the famine sufferers.
The contributions tonight amounted to
$1,0(T7. Miss Helen M. Gould, who oc
cupied one of the boxes, pledged $200.

BOER DELEGATES COMING.

The Hague, April 80. Tho member
of the Boer peace commission will sail
from Rotterdam to the United States
next Thursday evening by the Holland
American lino steamship Maasdnm.
Dr. Leyds aud Dr. Mueller will not
accompany the delegates.
Tho delegates will visit Amsterdam
today.
London, April 80. The Standard's
announcement that General French's
cavalry is returning to Bloomfouteiu is
clear proof that thore is no further hope
of catching the retreating Boers, and
tho Loudon papers are beginning to dis
play impatience at the practical failure
of the elaborate operations of last week.
The Staudard says: "It is disheart
ening to find that these elaborate ma'
noeuvres have had so small a result."
The Daily Chronicle remarks: "We
are reluctant to criticise Lord Roberts,
but it is impossible to shut our eyes to
the fact that daring tho List ten days we
have gained very little from our enor
mous display of force
Without doubt these operations have
beeu of a very exhausting nature, and
will entail further delay. Tho Bloem
fouteiu correspondent of tho Times,
writing on March 8, after tho Paardo,
berg affair, describes Lord Roberts
army as a "wreck," because it was
without horses and without transport,
Tho Bloemfontoin correspondent of the
Post speaks now of the urgent neod at
present and always of more horses.
There is very little news from other
quarters. ,

GOV. TAYLOR IN KENTUCKY.

For
Frankfort. Kt., April 30. Tho pros
enSb of Governor Taylor in this city was
known to tho local officers and to those
in charge of the prosecution, and tho
fact that a warrant of arrest' was not
served upon him is construed to mean
that the indictment in this case will bo
held up aud no process issued on it for
several days. The governor later went
to Louisvillo.
, The indictment was returnod in open
court the day after those against Finley
Powers, Culton and others were re

record and is now understood to be in
the possession of Judge Can trill.

As soon as the reception commi teo

less distinguished guests. Immediately

Through I'lttsburg Not on a
Political Tour.
Pirrsnuito, April 30. Tho special
train of Admiral Dewey, over tho Bal
timore and Ohio railrond, arrived here
last night. The train did not go into
tho station, but was transferred at
Laughlin Junction. A large crowd of
people had assembled to see tho admiral
at the different stations, and he greeted
them from tho platform of the car. The
trip from Washington to Pittsburg was
uneventful. At Connellsville about one
half of the population of the town was
present to greet tho admiral. Ho de
clined to discuss politics with those who
called upon him, saying the trip had no
political significance whatever.
PORTE MAY SETTLE BY A TRICK.

Constantinople, April 30. Theporto
has not yet replied to the note handed
to Tewlik Pasha, tho Turkish foreign
minister, by the United States cluirgo
fl'nffnires, Mr. Lloyd Grisconi, regard
ing the indemnity claim, nud the situa
tion is unchanged.
In some quarters it is believed that a
settlement will yet be mad-j by meansof
some arrangement with private Ameri
can contractors, concealing tho actual
payment, and thus relieving the Otto
man government from admitting re
sponsibility for tho losses occasioned at
the time of the massacres.

MONEY PLENTY, RATES LOW
.
Uiulnesa Not Expanded Enough to Take
Vp New Circulation 8ome Gold
Goes Abroad.
New York, April 28. R. G. Dun &
Co.8 weekly review of trade, issued to
day, said in part:
Gold beLans to go abroad, and prices
of iron products break sharply in the
same week. Four months of thQ new
year have passed and business does not
so expand as to neod the largo increase
of circulation which the new monetary
bill has permitted, nor enough to sustain
all the extraordinary advance in prices
last year.
The reaction iu prices came where it
was expected least, in the industry more
fully orinui.ed than auy othor to check
competition and iu the brottch which,
through contracts covering rod making
and other machinery and through pat
ents, seemed more fully controlled than
any other. Reduction of $20 per ton in
wire nails, barbed wire and galvanized
fence and 18 in smooth wire showed
that no control can afford to hole prices
so high as to check competition. In a
week tho prices of iron products have
declined 5.8G per cent, and. since Feb. 7,
10.8 per cent. As tho wire and nail
prices have been relatively the highest
others in the iron and steel industry can
be expected to fall in like measure. But
pigiron is weaker. No. L local coke at
Chicago $23.50 and southern pigiron is
also lower. Plates and bars cau bo ob
tained for about 1.8 cents in good con
tracts both at the east aud at Pittsburg;
tho proposed advance in sheets to 8.40
cents has not been attempted, aud cut
nail mills, which have gained much by
selling at 70 cents per keg below wiro
nails, will now lower prices also. The
stoppage of a dozen wiro aud noil mills
besides rod mills at Joliet, and another
of the National Steol company, indicates
some change in the actual demand.
Wool has not changed in quotations,
though some sales of fair amount are re
ported at such prices as 81c for Ohio
XX and 55c for clothing territory clean
ed, but manufacturers ore not disposed
to do anything, and the west asks prices
which dealers have no roasou for lay
ing. The demand for woolen goods is
smnll aud disappointing, and except in
staples, which are steady because well
sold np, prices are not oucouraging.
Tho prodneo market is inactive, though
wheat yielded a fraction aud corn gain
ed lb for tho week.. Exports of both
continue larger than a year ago.
Failures for tho week were 204 in the
United States, against 184 last year, and
22 in Canada, against 23 last year.

News received in London from tho
Orange Free State indicates that
though tho Boers havo evacuated Thaba
N'Chu they have only dono so in order
to occupy stronger positions. On Sun
day, April 29, General Do Wet made an
effort to turn French's eastern flank,
which was only foiled by the cavalry
after vigorous manouvering. The
Boers ,iold the ridges to the eastward
whence they will probably fall back
when the pressure of superior numbers
increases.
' The British casualties sustained dur

chance of catching tho main bodies of
the burghers has disappeared, is to
harass the Boers and prevent any wcU
organized retreat.
