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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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. Wife of General Wilson Dead. Havana, April 80. The wife of Ma jor General James H.
