The committee appointed to examine the

ns follows through Rev. Russell T. Hall of
Connecticut :
REVIEW OF THE YEAR.
"The committee appointed last year for
the examination of the report of the execu
tive committee beg leave to offer a report ,
after a careful cxSmlnatlon of this document ,
wli loli la a somewhat extensive matter , as
you will .see. The Innovation which win
Inaugurated last year had , I suppose , for Its
liu the securing ot a careful examination
of so voluminous a report and a presenta
tion of the salient points contained In it at
this time. Of course , I have no desire to
present more than a very brief statement of
theio points , which Is as follows :
"Tho committee to whom was referred the
report of the executive committee of the
Congregational Home Missionary Hoclety beg
leave to report as follows :
"The work of the sixty-eighth year ot the
society Is presented In this volutnlnotu re
port with all the fullness of details , which
lias been cuitomnry.and Is doubtless wise. The
record of that work carried on this year In
forty-seven stales and territories- , and among
foreigners of many races ns well as among
native Americans , Is so vast and multi
farious ns to make n respectable volume In
Itself. Wn have examined It with care , and
on the whole we consider that the locicty
has abundant cause for ttninltfnlncbs over the
acopo and results cf the year's woik accom
plished In spile of the most serious financial
disturbances known In thU country for a
generation. It is true that fewer new
churches have been organized than In the
previous year , but practically the same num
ber of missionaries 2.000 In all have been
kept nt work. The additions to the churches
by confession have been 1,259 more than In
1892 , and the report for 1894 , which will In
clude the fruit of many revivals during the
past winter , will doubtless disclose ellll more
remarkable gains. Hard times seem once more
to have been times of refreshing from on
lilgh , both In our self-supporting and our
aided churches.1 As In former years. It ap
pears that the hcmo missionary churches
nro much more fruitful In conversions than
the stronger churches , and thereby have
proven the reason of maintaining them ,
"In three new directions the society has
fccen pushing UH work of late years. Were
ro glad to find that an unusual degree of
Biicccf.i has attended the labors ot the work-
cm In each Ot these now fields , ns compared
\vlth the older work. Missions among Ihu
foreigners have been extended , especially
in Massachusetts and the northwest , and
tested by the number ot conversions this
.ivork has been more successful than any
other of the successful enterprises ot the
society nnd It * auxiliaries. It Is encourag
ing lo find that Scamlanavlans , Germans ,
Trench , Bohemians and others nro good
lunterlnt for Congregational churches. The
licw work In the southeast seems also lo be
prospering as far as numbers go , and also
to nil appearance In the establishment ot
piopcr relations with the negroes nnd their
chinches connected with our Congregational
tody. There scorns no reason to doubt
the final success of tlicso efforts to build up
tmo churches ot our order In that region ,
ncceptlng gospel Ideas ot icllglous equality
among all races of men. Wo are also glnd
to note thu rapid organization ot the women
of our churches Into unions auxiliary to the
Jlcine Missionary society , nnd hope for Mill
further progress In this direction.
"It is upon the financial side of the situ-
Htltni , and that alone , that wo discover nny
Ulsheartcnlng facia in I hit. report of the cx-
ecutho committee. These matters nro pre
sented so completely and so Intelligently
that It U easy to grasp the salient points.
/The / wholly impreccdcnled and unexpected
loss of $150,000 In receipts Is of courto the
prime tact. Hut upon further examination
| t oppturt that more than half ot this
( hrlnkago Is In legacies , which probably will
partly at least bo made up hereafter , when
estates shall have been 'icttled that arc now
Jn executors' hand * . A uhrlnkago of 170,000
n contributions from the living U unplean-
nt , ot course , but not nt all iturprlnlng or
Bmlnouj , In view ot the. pecuniary disaster *
ct tha year past. Expenditures have been
Increased very little during the year , and
( or tbo Immediate present and the n ar fu
ture appro rlatloni QAYI bern rcJucoJVe \
regret the necessity of this latter measure ,
but we can see that no other course Is possi
ble.
COMMITTEE COMMENDED.
"Wo also regret the largo debt of $125,000 ,
but wo cannot sec that the executive com
mittee has acted unwisely either In the ex
penditures that necessitated the debt or In
borrowing the money , The work of a vast
organisation Ilko the Homo .Missionary so
ciety cannot bo arrested or even curtailed
suddenly without serious damage , and any
honorable expedients that will tide over an
emergency and thereby prevent damage are
Justifiable and commendable. Wo sympathize
with the secretaries and executive committee
In the distress nnd suffering Imposed upon
them when nn overdrawn treasury compels
them lo cut donn appropriations and restrict
the natural and wholesome expansion of
their work In many directions. Wo also
sympathize with the brethren In the field In
their personal privations , and their disap
pointment over the withholding of the mentis
necessary for the development of the work
entrusted to them. It seems proper also to
acknowldgu here , though the fact belongs to
the record of the coming year rather than
this ono , the generosity nnd devotion of the
entire administrative force In reducing their
own salaries 10 per cent. Such a spirit as
bus been Hh6wn In the homo ofllco and tn
the field ought to touch the hearts of our
people In all the churches , and should help
greatly toward the speedy wiping out of the
debt.
"As an expression of the feelings of the
society at this time , and In view of the state
of things dlsclobcd by the sixty-eighth report
of the executive committee , wu offer the fol
lowing resolution :
"Resolved , That we rejoice with the ox-
ccullvu committee in the great and encour
aging spiritual results of the work of the
year Just closed , and heartily approve of
the mean * ii cd by them to meet the deplor
able diminution of contributions and lega
cies , whilewe lament thu Inevitable re
striction of the work of the society and the
contraction of a seilotis debt. We urge
upon our brethren and upon the chureheH
the necessity of special and determined
effortM to Increase their home missionary
contributions to such n figure as will wipe
out the debt nnd remove the present puln-
ftil restriction of their woik.
"I think I need add but a word In support
of these resolutions. The work we have un
dertaken must go on , nnd the loss of con
tributions and legacies nnd the present finan
cial distress should offer to properly consti
tuted , conscientious Christian men a reason
for giving largely to help the society out of
Its present dlfllcultles. There are two
things that might bo enlarged upon here.
The first is the exceedingly favorable spirit
ual allowing that has been made. If It could
be fthown that the missionaries were Idling ,
Inefficient and unproductive ; If tt could bo
shown that there was no result worth while ,
we should feel dlfferenlly , but when acces
sions to the churches have been swollen as
they have been and where revival after re
vival Is reported , nnd where the churches
seem to be gathering strength In every di
rection , it Is time that the debt should bo
paid and the work of the society should be
not icstrlctcd , but enlarged. The other point
Is this : H Is sometimes said that there Is
never more than ono duty offered to nny
man at any ono time. That may be true
In n certain' Ecnso , but every pastor of a
contributing church knows that the number
of applications for aid are Infinitely more
numerous and pressing than by any possi
bility can be attended to , pud the selection
of objects to be aided Is a necessity , and I
therefore believe and I think I speak In
behalf of the committee In this respect-
that the churches and the pastors and our
brethren everywhere should see that If they
are lo do any work that It there Is any
work of our church that more than another
demands continuous and enthusiastic sup
port It Is this. The Congregational Home
Missionary society demands and should re
ceive at this time above all others a recep
tion In our affections and a support with our
substance which shall make glad ( he hearts
of the Eccretailca aud missionaries who have
h.een bearing this heavy burden and making
these sacrifices that the work might go ou.
1 move the adoption ot the resolution. "
On motion ot Mr. Moore the report was
accepted and thq resolution adopted.
OWICERS ELECTED.
Election ot ofllcerH followed. Dr. Clark
moved thai this matter be left to the nom
inating committee to nominate a ticket.
Carried.
Dr. Clnrk explained that there are three
classes of voting members a llfo member ,
who Is made so by the payment by himself
or some friend of $50 ; the annual member ,
appointed by his churcli , two from each
church ( each church Is entitled to appoint
two delegates to this me'etlng ) , nnd annual
member appointed by the state body.
Messrs. Stokes , 1'owcll nnd Wild were ap
pointed as tellers.
Dr. Clark H Is suggested that all minis
ters entering their names upon these cards
enter their names as reverend , or if they
want their titles to appear they can enter
them.
A Member I move that all honorary and
academic titles be dropped.
Mr. Mooie It Is the usage of the national
council nnd has been for a long period ot
tlmo to omit these titles.
The motion was cart led.
The president then called for the report
of the nominating committee.
Dr. Sturtevnnl The committee on nomina
tions Is prepared to report. Wo have been
furnished with a list of the present incum
bents and the same will be presented to a
considerable extclit. There Is In fact but
one change which wo have made from the
present Incumbents , and that Is the omis
sion ot the name of William A , Watermann
of Illinois and the substitution ot the name
of Hon. W. II. Alexander of Omaha. We
most cordially love and honor Brother
Watermann , and are full of tenderness and
sympathy toward him. As the vice presi
dents are from different states , and a chapge
ot locution gives us two vice presidents in
Illinois , for that reason the committee has
made this substitution. There Is one other
substitution , which Is that of Hon. J. H.
Merrill of Iowa for the name of James G.
Merrill of Maine. The officers as nomin

DULL DAY IN THE SENATU.
Ul cu > 8lon of the Tobacco and Agricultural
Hchcdiilcs Occupies the Day.
WASHINGTON , June 6. Before entering
upon the discussion of the tariff today the

u house bill and the others senate bills.
Among the senate bills passed were :
Granting right of way through the Wlnno-
bago and Omaha Indian reservations In Ne
braska to the Eastern Nebraska & Gulf
railroad ; granting right of way through the
Leech Lake Indian reservation In Minnesota
to the Northern Minnesota Railroad com
pany.
Mr. lUackburn reported favorably a reso
lution from the committee on rules for the
appointment of a special committee of five
senators on the existing public distress , to
whom should be referred the petitions of
Morrison I. Swift and others bearing upon
this subject. It was adopted without divi
sion.
sion.When the tariff bill was taken up today
Mr. Jones asked leave to withdraw the com
promise amendment of the tobacco schedule
which made the rate on leaf tobacco and
unstcmuied 11.60 and $2.26 respectively and
restore the house amendment , In which the
rates are ? l itml $1.23 respectively. The
move was a surprise to senators on both
Hides , as by agreement the compromise para
graph was adopted pro form with the under
standing that the subject shall bo considered
later.
The other Jones amendments to the to
bacco nchedule were adopted. Tney fixed the
rates on tiller tobacco , unstemmed , nt 35
cents per pound ; stemmed , nt 60 per pound ;
tobacco , manufactured or unmanufactured ,

Dolpb , In the course ot his speech against

condemnation on the free trade tariff. From
advice * ho had received Oregon had elected
n republican governor by from 10,000 to
15,000 plurality ; two republican congressmen
by about 10,000 plurality , and the entire op
position to the republicans In the legislature

DECLARED AN ARMISTICE
Deputies and Miners Agr.o to Await the

CRIPPLE CREEK , June C. A message
was received from Bull Hill early today
announcing that a part of the miners'
icouts , who were'stationed In the vicinity
of Glllett , encountered n body of 400 dep
uties Just after dawn. The scouts re
treated before thp deputies and quickly gave
the alarm to the miners' garrison.
Preparations wcro made to rcceUo the
deputies , and a battle Is expected within a
fey hour * .
Glllett Is only five miles from Bull Hill.
A dense fog prevails , nnd this will help the
miners , who know every foot of the ground.
The telegraph wires between Cripple Creek
and Bull Hill have been cut and It Is diffi
cult to get news.
The deputies have arrived at Beaver
Park , five miles from Bull Hill , where they
have gone Into camp. The miners feel
that the reported settlement of the strike
reached at Denver by arbitration was
merely n trick to cause them to disarm.
They say they "will resist any attempt by
the sheriff's deputies to arrest any of them
until the strike Is settled. After the mines
are opened , they say , the sheriff can arrest
any of the miners he wants.
The leader of the deputies has offered
not to attack the miners If they will sur
render 200 of the strikers for whom the
sheriff has warrants. The strikers refused
and will resist any attempt to make arrests.
The deputies have two Galling guns and one
Napoleon ,
By an agreement reached this afternoon
there will be no battle between the fortl
fled union miners on Bull Hill and the army
of deputy sheriffs who are now encamped
on Beaver creek. The aspect of affairs was
decidedly waillke until 3 o'clock this after
noon. Although the deputies cut all the
telegraph wires between this city and Mid
land , the miners were quickly Informed by
their scouts of the advance of the sheriff's
force and prepared for battle. They were
willing to surrender to the militia , but de
clared they would never submit to arrest
until after the troops arrived. Mayor
Lindsay and President Parker of the First
National bank called up Sheriff Bowers by
telephone nnd begged him to stop the depu
ties until the troops could reach the camp.
Sheriff Bowers agreed to thfs , and there Is
every rtason to believe that there will be
no further hostilities. Alexander Mcln-
tcsh , representing the miners , announced
that they would lay clown their arms imme
diately on the arrival of the state troops.
The deputies will follow tne state troops to
the miners camp and servo warrants which
they are said to hold for 200 strikers.
DENVEIl , June 0. Governor Walto says
that the movement of the deputy sheriffs
against Byll Hill to arrest strikers is In
violation of an armistice.
TELEGRAPHERS MUZ55LED
DENVER , June G. The telegraph opera
tor nt Divide says that deptitles with rifles
are standing guard ovci.Itlni ; and will not
permit him''to , ' send any "me/sages about1
what Is going on or deliver messages con
veying Instructions to correspondents. As
the deputies control all the telegraph offices
On the Midland Terminal road thcro Is no
prospect of receiving news until the censor
ship Is abandoned.
With regard to tltflr refusal to abide by
the terms of their agreement the mine own
ers say that after the Insurrection Is put
down and their property restored to them
they will arbitrate as to wages , hours , etc.
Sheriff Bowers soys ho has warrants for the
arrest of 200 miners , which he will serve.
Ho expects the 'strikers will make a deter
mined opposition.
In accordance with Governor Walto's In
structions the entire state militia Is on the
move for Cripple Creek. General Brooks has
received private Instructions from Governor
Walte , which , In connection with the move
ment of deputies today , may reopen the
question nt Cripple * Creek nnd hasten a
bloody conflict. General Brooks' Instructions
are to proceed with his troops as far as
Colorado Springs ; when there he Is to get
the consent of every mlno owner to abide
by the articles of agreement and not go u
step further unless his mission there Is suc
cessful. If successful , ho will then go to the
Cripple Creek district and get a like ac
knowledgment from the miners. If assent
of both sides Is * obtained he Is to carry out
the Instructions of the governor as outlined
last night , but not until then.
One of the grievances of tha striking coal
miners In Colorado has been the Issuance of
scrip In payment for their work , which they
have been forced to accept as money , and1
use at the companies' stores. Governor
Walto claims that this Is a violation of
United States law and will ask the federal
authorities to make a thorough Investigation.
The attempt to Induce the miners In thu
northern part of the state to strike In sym
pathy with those , In the southern part has
failed.
Rev. Myron Reed , pastor of the First Con-
gregatlonullht church , has been summoned
by the board ot trustees of that church to
explain his expression of sympathy for the
strikers at Cripple-Creek and condemnation
of the deputy sheriffs. The sociological
sentiments to which Mr. Reed has given ut
terance In his sermons of Into have dis
pleased many members of his congregation ,
and about half of the audlunco walked out on
Sunday , to show their disapproval.
DIVIDE. Colo. , Juno 0. Fully 1,000 dep

OSKALOOSA. In. , Juno G.-Speclal ( Tele
gram to The Dec. ) Company F of Oskaloosa
went to Kvnn this morning and camped at
the mouth * of the American Conl company's
mine. Aa In nil former canes the strikers
kept to their camp and made no demonstra

vote on moving against the miners In spite
of the militia. The vote was u tin and the
conservatives prevailed. Company F re
turned to Osknloosn at G:30 : a. m. As the
strikers only make threatening demonstra

go to work , Company F wjll bo ordered out
every morning nt 4 o'clock unless the

FHOSTHUKG , Md. , June C. The presence
of the t\\o regiments of the Maryland Na

had n disquieting effect upon the strikers.
For the Hrst tlmo they fear the advent of

It Is believed now that It Is a question ot
only a little time before tlfo sober second
thought will prevail , and that the rush for

At the EcKart mine about seventy-five
men went down Into the shaft of the 350

considered a most encouraging sign.

An attempt was made to blow up with

a miner who refused to go out. Lancaster
and his wife were asleep In the house nt
thn time , and their escape from death was
*
hardly less than miraculous. Thu bed In
which they were sleeping was against the

McKEESPOHT , Pa. , June C. No attempt
has been made to start up the tube works
today. The strikers are swarming around
the works and the depots. Every point In
being watched by them and trouble will
surely follow any attempt to Introduce new
workmen or deputies.
The eastern deputies expected by river or
trnln today did not nppear. When the first
train arrived from Braddock there was a
largo crowd at the station to meet thu offi
cers and when It was found they wcro not
on board the strikers dispersed and went to
the mill entrance.
The strikers have obtained three largo

Homestead strikers two years ago and thu

train was hauling several cars of coal , taken
from a siding near Clay City , and was bound

PEKIN , 111. , Juno C. There was a bloody
battle at Little's conl mines , five miles down
the Illinois river from 1'ekln , today. Word
was received here that 500 miners from the
west of the river wcra about to attack Uio
mine. Sheriff Frederick swore In a posse
and net out for the eccne. The strikers had
assembled at Bcntonvlllu and crossed the
Illinois on ferries. There were about 400
men and some women. The sheriff and his
possa rcmonstratciV'wlth the mob In vain.
The leader of the. strikers , with a revolver
In his hand , cried out : "Follow me , " and
the crowd cheered on the miners. The two
Littles and their sons and n colored ma'n
rctreated--to the .shaft and opened nro on
the Attacking partyHomo - > ot whom wcro
seen to fall. The fire was returned , and
hundreds of shots \\ero fired Into the shaft.
The Littles hoisted a white nag , but the
flrjng did not cease. The shaft was set on
lire ! and up shot the flames. It was feared
that the powder house would bti llrcd , and
the crowds retreated. The killed arc :
JACK JACKSON , a colored miner.
El ) IILOOM , one of the strikers.
The wounded arc Ed Porter and Petqr
Little of the besieged party , the former being
