Secre tary Barton read the report of the European Turkey nnd the eastern Turkey missions , Marathl , Madura and Ceylon missions In India , Japan , Austria , Spain and Mexico. The report showed that every post brought appeals for larger liberty and a more ag gressive work In the work of evangeliza tion. . Among other things Dr. Barton eald : "Since the war the missionaries in Spain have traveled freely nnd have carried on their work as before without the slightest word or look upon the part of any one that any Ill-will was entertained , while in some places it has 'been ' made most evident that the people were especially eager to greet nnd honor Americans. " Secretary Smith's department was sur veyed , himself , In substance as follows : "Tho missions Included are eleven In number , two In Asia Minor , the western Turkey and the central Turkey missions ; three In Africa , the Zulu , the west Central Africa and the east Central Africa missions ; two In the PaclBc Islands , the Mlcroneslan missions nnd the work of tbo board In the Hawaiian islands , nnd four In China , tlm Shnnsl , the North China , the Fee > Chow and the South China missions , 'Tho event of the year In Micronesia IB the ending of the Spanish occupation of Ponapo nnd the transfer of the Carolines to the German empire.

The award of' the Anglo-Venezuelan boundary arbitration comn mUfilon Is regarded by the afternoon papers BS eminently satisfactory from the English point or view , but ns hardly a proof ot the practicability of universal arbitration. Thi- Pall Mall ( lazetto taya : "Without doubt Oreat Urltnln has done urcommonly wc-ll , n * Is proved by the comments ot former Presi dent Harrison. If It wore not already sufficiently obvious , U Is now made clear that the arbitration hns shown the disposi tion of ono government to bo patient and pleasing , rather tlian risk a sinful and un natural quarrel. Thla must have Its Im pression In America and thus must have sown good ecpil , which has already grown Into a flourishing plant. " The St. James Gazette nays ; "The out- come Is not the result of arbitration , but or friendly compromise , as stated by Former President Harrison.

There are oth er * bosldes the Venezuelans who should not recognize thnt Great Britain will not suffer what she considers her rights to bo sub jected to the terrorism of warlike menace , whether In ono part of the world or in another ; whether by a great power or a small state.

There Is nothing very tangible In today's war news , but the situation remains as , strained as ever , unless hope may bo de rived from the apparent fact that the forces on the frontier are regarded toy both aides as wholly defensive for the present and from the stacment that Mr. J. H , Hofmeler , the Afrikander leader In Capo Colony , Is still prepared to endeavor to secure the ad hesion of the Transvaal government to the "Irreducible minimum , " proposed at the Bloemlonteln conference -.to , , ' President Kruger , by Glr Alfred Milncr , , the B.rjtiqb. high commissioner , If the Imperial govern ment will stand by the high commissioner's original proposal. Ittmiorn Affect Stock The Stock exchange was Influenced during the opening hours today by vague rumors that Queen Victoria had cabled President Kruger and President Steyn holding out the ollvo branch , and by a report that the Boers had been defeated In a small engagement. Prices rose , but there was a speedy relapse when both stories were discredited. Sir William Vernon Harcourt , the distin guished liberal statesman , member of Parlia ment for West Monmouthshire , has another slashing attack in today's papers upon the policy of the secretary ot state for the colonies , Joseph Chamberlain. He reiterates his original statement that Mr. Chamber- Iain's assertion that the Transvaal refused to redress the grievances of the outlanders is the reverse of the case , and he Insists that Great Britain Is responsible for "slam ming the door in the face of President Kruger Just when arrangements were approaching preaching a settlement.

According to trustworthy re ports ho said : "Everything points to war because a spirit of falsehood has overtaken other countries and because the people ot the Transvaal wish to govern themselves. Although thou sands may come to nttnck us , we have noth ing to fear ; for the Lord Is the final arbiter and Ho will decide. "Bullets came by thousands nt the time ot the Jameson raid , but the burghers were un touched. Over a hundred wcro killed on tbo other side , showing that the Lord di rected the bullets. The Lord rules the world. " J. M. A.

On hid arrival at 'Capetown he found the situa tion on the Natal border BO grave ho wired for Immediate transportation for himself and stnff to Durban , and the British second- class cruiser Forte was placed at his dis posal. A London news agency publishes the fol lowing dispatch from Volksrust , Transvaal , dated October 3 : "An unconfirmed report Is In circulation here that tbo time allowed tbo BrltUu troops to withdraw from tbo Transvaal bor der will expire at \ o'clock tomorrow after noon and that failure to cucnply with the demand will be considered tantamount tea a declaration of war. " The British foreign oflke this morning In formed the Associated I'rws that absolutely nothing wns known there of any Transvaal demand for the withdrawal of the British truops from the frontier. A meeting of liberal members of the House of Common * , Including several former mem bers of liberal cabinets , was held this morning at the private residence of th leader of the liberal opposition in the hcuce , Sir Henry Cainpbell-Bannerman.

Late advlcro from Capetown this after , | noon Indicate a widespread Impression there j that ( , unless the Boers begin hostilities by ] Thursday , thy will not fight , but yield to the Imperial demands , when formulated. The Cape House of Assembly last evening agreed to a motion Instructing the Cape . government ( to demand the speedy return to | Capo ( Colony of any and all rolling stock now | I In | the Orange Free State or the Transvaal. A special dispatch from Johannesburg says the Boer olllclala there continue to urge the British subjects who remain to leave , and It Is 'believed ' that all who do not will | bo ] marched , under escort , along the railway until a train Is reached to carry them off. Orders have been issued from Pretoria closing < all the saloons In the gold fields. The Transvaal government has token over the I Perrelra mines and all the mlnea In the gold i fields. A group of five of the Eckstein mlnea ' have been clpsed. Additional transports -with troops from India arrived this morning at Durban , Natal , and will proceed to the front Immediately. It Is rumored there 'that the Boers are with drawing from the Natal border owing to lack of forage. Montague White , , consul general of the South African republic in London , informed the Associated Press today that the Trans vaal nnd the Orange Fre Stale agreed some days ago to present a joint demand to Great Britain to withdraw its troops from the fron tier , but ho asserts that ho advised against its preaentatlon and-so far as he knows , the demand has never reached the British foreign office. Gavin Brown .Clark , liberal member ot Parliament , who telegraphed to Pretoria portions tions of the speech , delivered last Saturday by the president ot the council , the duke ot Devonshire , which Mr , Clark thought af forded an opening for a pacific settlement , boa received the following reply from Pre toria , under data'of. October 3 : Iteply t'rta 1'enceinnkcr. ' "The'go ennnoirtft the South African re public are gratified' ' 'to learn that powerful influecca flro nt work to secure a peaceful settlement. Considering , however , the man ner In which their five-year franchise pro posals were rejected , after the government had every reason to believe that they would bo accepted , considering also the abandon ment of the Joint commission proposed'by Great Britain , as well as the declaration that the British government regards all former proposals as abandoned and Is formulating fresh proposals , the government of the South African republic docs not feel nt liberty it self to reformulate the rejected proposals. "If the desire for peace be earnest and sincere an excellent opening Is afforded by the Transvaal's acceptance of the Joint com mission , n proposition emanating from the British government , which , If carried out , would undoubtedly bring a satisfactory and honorable bettlement. " A London news agency publishes n dis patch from Paris saying It Is rumored thcro thnt a seml-ofllblal exchange of views is proceeding between Russia , Franco ana Germany with reference to the Transvaal crisis.
