The negro question was discussed by Rt. Rev. C. B. Galloway, bishop of the Metho dist Episcopal church south, of Jackson, Miss., who said: f "I cannot understand how you can canon ise ,ote man for working In Africa and ostracize another for doing the same work at home. The problem of the negro sinks Into insignificance beside the problem Of the. congested foreign Immigration In our towns. Negroes love their country, they i,,ve Christ, they mav believe In a little too much and there may be rather a wider margin between their practice and their profession, but who ever saw a negro athrlHt?" Other addresses at the early session to day were made by Rev. Charles R. Wat son of Philadelphia, corresponding secre tary of the general missions of the United Presbyterian church, and Rev. W. W.

Federation In the Philippines. "The Philippines" were discussed by Rev. James B. Rodgers, senior missionary of the Presbyterian church In the Philippines, who said In part: "The evangelical union of the Philippine Islands is a federation of eight evangelical missions and societies working In the archipelago. After six years' service the missions report something like 12,000 full members in the churches and as many more adherents. "The union has jerved as a ready instru ment for expressing the opinion and senli- 1 ments of the evangelical churches on moral j and civil Issues, and has aided In the de- I feat of the plan for farming out the opium traffic to the highest bidder by arousing and concentrating public opinion both in the Islands and this country as to the danger of the government's plan. The union strives to render efficient service In creating an evangelical literature for the churches in the islands and has a commit tea even now at work on the proposition for a Sunday school paper in all districts. Another committee is also working on the proposition of an evangelical university for the islands." Rev. J. U. Barton, corresponding secre tary of the American Board of Commis sioners for Foreign Missions, Boston, told how In Japan three of the mission boards formed themselves into the Council of Mis sions for Japan In 1877 and formed a Jap anese church of the Presbyterian model.

"Finally between the doctor and Father I was put on Grape-Nuts and cream as it was decided I must have nourishing food that the boy could make use uf. - "Tho wonderful change that came over me was not. Ilka Jonah's gourd, the growth of a single night, and yet came with a rapidity that astonished me. During the first week I gained several pounds in weight, my spirits improved, and the world i began to look brighter and more worth while. And this has continued steadily, till now, after the use of Grape-Nuts for only a few weeks, I am perfectly well, feel splendidly, take a lively interest in everything, and am a changed person in very way."

ANXIOUS TO RETURN (Continued from First Page.) has lately sprung Into being with organiza tions In St. Petersburg. Moscow, the Baltic provinces, Astrakhan, Simferopol and else where, the principal plank In the platform of which Is the rallying of the sober and conservative forces of the nation fur the purpose of attaining long-expected lilertles through co-operation with Count Wltte, Is preaching that all will bo lost und the country plunged Into hopeless bloodshed unless the forces of "law and order" unite to nld the premier. M. Kalsky, who has placed himself at the head of the Ht.

Over 20,000 foreign passports hax-e been Issued In St. Peters burg during the I ant two weeks. Workmen Reply to Wltte. The workmen's council returned a scorn ful reply to Count Wltte's personal appeal to his "brother workmen," ridiculing the government's proferMon of solicitude for the workmen and renewing their ucmands for the immediate abolition of martial law in Poland, etc. The text of the resolution Is as follows: The council of workmen's delegates ex presses astunisnment nt the emperor s lavoruc, who permits himself to call tne workmen of Hi. Petersburg Ills brethren. The proletariat is not related to him In any way. Count Wltte appeals to us to be com passionate of our wives and children. The council, In reply.

'1 he council declares tne working classes have no need of the nenevolente of a court favorite, but demands a popular govern ment on the basis uf univeraul, direct and secret suffrage. Concession. .ot Broad Enough. Count Wltte's attempt to negotiate di rectly with tho strike leaders has come to naught, although he offered concessions Iji the case of the Cronstadt mutineers In the event of their being condemned to deati. But the leaders refused all com promise. "All or nothing," was their re sponse. The Imperial ukase on the land question, issued today, although itV wipes out about $40, 'X0,000 of the peasant's arrearages of debt, which under ordinary circumstances might have been received with joy, Is an other disappointment Tho promises ' of additional lands lire too vague to calm the agitated, starving peasants, who, in the valleys at the Don and Volga, are again marching, pillaging, burning and murder Ing. .

The manager of local branch of the Credit Lyonnals denies the report that the bank is refusing to accept Russian securities as collateral. , On account of the unsettled condition and the heavy fall In prices on the Bourse, however, the bank Insists upon larger margins. The following formal statement on th. subject was made by the bank: The Credit Lyonnals is continuing th. making of advances on stocks, but owing to the fall In state funds and Industrials and the narrow market of the St. Peters burg Bourse, it requires larger margins than formerly. Other banks also are adopting the same course and there is a noticeable disposition on the part of all the bankers to reduco their commitments.

Are Baaed. KANSAS CITY. Nov. 17.-A hearing of the railroad rebate cases brought by the federal government In March, 12, upon behalf of th. federal government against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway, the Chicago, Burlington A Quincy, the Missouri Pacific and the Chicago, Rock Island A Pacific was begun here today I in me i nited States district court before Judge John F. Phillips. The arguments upon behalf of tho government were pre sented by Milton D. Purdy, assistant United States attorney, and Ivan Yalken burg, United States district attorney of the western district of Missouri. Gardiner Lathrop ot Chicago, chief counsel for the Santa Fe, and Judge O. M. Spencer of St. Joseph, chief counsel of the Burlington, represented the railway companies. The railways named were originally en JolnedV by Judge Philps from granting al leged rebates on meat products, salt and coal, and later contempt proceedings were filed In the district court hero by Assistant AttorneyGeneral Purdy, who, alleging that the railroad companies had violated the court's enjoining order, asked the court to cite the companies for contempt, which was done. To this citation the railroads filed demurrers, which were argued today. Arguing on behalf of the Santa Fo rail road today, Gurdlner Lathrop took the stand that the district court lacked juris diction In the case. The proceedings against the Santa Fe, the Missouri Pacific and the Rock Island alleged that these companies gave rebates to th. Hutchinson (Kan.) Salt company In collusion with tho Hutchinsontft Arkansas River railroad, wTilch latter company. It was shown, was controlled and operated by the alt com pany. In the case of the Santa Fe It was alleged In addition that rebates had been granted on coal to the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. The hearing was upon two, motions, one f.0 quash the information In regard to the alleged rebates charged to have been paid to the Hutchinson (Kan.) Salt company and the other to the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. Technical Points Rnlsed.
