SYNOD OF BALTIMORE
REPORTS OS TOlJtG PEOPLE'S SO
CIETIES AMD CHI RCH ELECTION.
Recommendations .Made hy the Com
mitter?Visit to the White
Honne.
President McKlnley received the repre
sentative Presbyterian ministers and elders
who are attending the sessions of the synod
of Baltimore at 12::?) o'clock today, and the
morning meeting at the Eastern Presby
terian Church was somewhat curtailed In
order to permit the delegates to greet the
executive.
Several reports were on the program for
presentation when the moderator. Rev.
Teunis S. Hamlin, D.D., called the assem
bly to order, but only two were ready. The
lirst was the report of the committee on
young people's societies, presented by the
chairman. Re v. Jno. L.ee Allison. Gratifica
tion was expressed that no backward steps
had marked the year's record in this de
I>artment of Christian activities. The re
ports from nearly all societies in the synod
indicated that It had been one of the best
years in real earnest and faithful service.
While there had been a slight decrease in
offerings to home missions, there had been
an increase in gifts to foreign missions and
the fresh air and India famine relief funds.
There had been a gradual increase in ac
tive and associate membership, and several
new societies had been organized.
The committee recommended that the so
cieties adopt at least the 2-cent-a-week plan
of aid for missions and appoint a member
of each society who is interested in mis
sions to manage this fund separately from
other moneys, and that each society be
urged to support the missionary assigned to
its particular presbytery.
Chureh Erection Report.
Rev. De Witt M. Benham, chairman or
the committee on church erection, also made
the report for the year. The necessity for
every congregation having a church of It?
own was strongly dwelt upon. Outsiders
were loath to identify themselves with an
organization that had none. The posses
sion of property ministered to conservatism
and permanency. It promoted a feeling ot
increased se:f-r?spect and afforded the con
gregation greater influence in the commu
nity. Realization of these conditions had 1
moved the general assembly of the Pres- j
byterian Chureh to organize its board of 1
church erection, which arranged to assist j
weak churches in securing houses of wor- i
ship and manses for their pastors. The re- }
sources of this board were divided into
three funds?the general fund, which is sup- i
ported hy regular contributions from all
churches, from which small grants of j
money are made to destitute organizations ,
in need of a building, the loan fund, which ,
is made up from special gifts and legacies, j
and from which money is loaned at ?> per '
cent, with a reduction to per cent for
prompt payment, to churches who desire
to erect better buiSdings than they could
otherwise, and the manse fund, which is
intended to assist needy congregations in
securing hom^s for their pastors, and
which is especially helpful in western
towns.
Since 1*^41 the hoard has granted loans,
without interest, amounting to to
<?.ti2l churches from the general fund, and
has extended aid amounting to ??t!M)25 to
eighty-nine churches from the loan fund.
Five hundred and eighty-four churches ben
efited from the manse to the extent of
fcso.wr:.
(irowlns >??cdM.
The present demand is greater than ever.
New territory such as Alaska. Hawaii,
Cuba. Porto Rico ?ir. I the Philippines is
being opened ujj and Christianity is enter
ing the open doors to drive out superstition.
These extra demands, said the report,
should be met with generous aid from the
faithful.
During the year the synod of Baltimore
drew from the resouri es of the board
and paid in Sl.ti.s~. or iess than she
drew out. The committee recommended
resolutions which were adopted declaring
the synod to be in hearty sympathy with
the board of church erection; satisfied wi:h
its methods and commending its careful
management and urging all congregations.
In the synod to contribute liberally to its
support.
Devotional exercises began at 11 o'clock,
and half an hour later recess was taken!
the synod partaking .?f luncheon, at which
the ladies of the church were hoste?-:es
A popular missionary meeting, which will
be a memorial service for the martv*** d
missionaries in China, will be held tonight '
at the Eastern Presbyterian Church, at
7:3o o'clock, under the auspices of the
woman's societies.
Rennlatlnn Agn inut Army Canteen.
Two important steps were taken at the
session yesterday afternoon. A resolution
was adopted instructing the c-immitiee on
sustentation to enforce its rule that each
church contribute tu all the boards as a
condition to receiving aid from the susten
tation committee. This action was caused
by the failure of many churches to regu
larly give financial aid to the \arious
l? ards. such as college aid. church erec
tion, education, missions and others.
The committee on temperance submitted
a resolution declaring that the synod reit
erate the emphatic protest against retain
ing the beer canteen in the I"nited Siates
army, "in piain violation of the will of the
people and the interpretation of congres
sional enactment." After considerable dis
cussion the resolution was adopted.
There was a large c mgregation present
last night to hear the synodicai sermon,
which was delivered by Rev. Joseph B.
Turner, and to partake of the i^crU's sup
per, which followed.
THE AMJfl'.tL PARADE.
Probable Date of l>i?plxv by Police
and Klre Departinentx.
It Is probable that the annual parade of
the police and fire departments of the Dis
trict will take place Thursday afternoon.
November 15. Such a parade has been held
for the past three years, and today Major
Sylvester, the chief of police, recommended
to the Commissioners that the inspection
of station houses and of members of the
force, the competitive maneuvers and pa
rade take place on the date above men
tioned. This recommendation Commissioner
Ross, who has immediate supervision of
the police department, has approved, and
it Is understood that Commissioner Mac
farland, to whom is assigned the fire de
lartment. will approve Major Sylvester's
suggestion, with the understanding that
the firemen shall, as usual, participate in
such parade. It is understood that the
parade will start at o'clock p.m.
A feature of the parade last year, and
one which was most enthusiastically re
ceived, was the speeding of one of the en
gine companies and one of the truck com
panies of the fire department past the re
viewing stand, the companies starting at
17th atree>t and dashing at full speed, as if
responding to an alarm of fire, from ihat
point to about 15th street. A repetition of
this feature of the uarade is being con
sidered by Commissioner Macfarland. and
if he satisfies himself that there would be
ih? danger to the firemen or to the spec
tators by a repetition of this run, It is
probable that It will be repeated this year.
The reviewing stand will, as heretofore
b?* erected on the sidewalk In front of the
White House, and President McKinley, the
members of his cabinet aud other prominent
officials and citizens will be Invited by the
Commissioners to review the para ie. On
the day of the parade the Hag presented
by ex-Commissioner John B. Wight for the
best drilled company in the police de- |
part ment will t>* awarded. It was won last
year by the company from the first pre
cinct, the year before by the eighth pre
cinct and the year before that by the tirst.
Arcliblnhop Ireland Expected Here.
Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul Is expected
to arrive In Washington today. He will ?e
the guest of Mgr. Conaty, the rector of the
Catholic I'niverslty. A noteworthy fact
coincident with his arrival Is that Bishop
O'Gorman of Sioux Falls, S. D.. a suffragan
prelate of the St. Paul province, whoso
name has been mentioned prominently as
coming coadjutor there, left for Europe a
few days since on official business. It is
learned that Archbishop Ireland has def
initely decided to secure the services of an
assistant bishop at St. Paul, and as the
archbishop and Bishop O'Gorman have
been friends since childhood, both having
studied for the priesthood toother In
France, Bishop O'Gorman probably will re
ceive the appointment.

REPORT OF THK DEPOT Ql'ARTKR
MAST ICR AT IIOMOLil'Ll".
.\o 1'crnoii in the Military Service Had
tin* llabonic 1'IaKue ? More Land
>eeiletl lor Reservation*.
In the report of Maj. Gen. Shafter, com
manditig the department of California, there
is a report from Maj. George Kuhlen. depot
quartermaster at Honolulu. The garrison
at Honolulu consists of two batteries of the
Hth Artillery. In quarters at Camp McKln
ley, four and one-half miles from the busi
ness center of Honolulu. Maj. Kuhlen says
that troops should be quartered in plain
frame buildings rather than in tents, as the
climate along the seashore is very destruct
ive to the latter. Galvanized sheet iron Is
the best material for roofs. Any sheet Iron
not galvanized is wholly useless In that cli
mate. Building operations during the year
have been confined almost exclusively to the
erection of sheds and corrals for animals
en route to the Philippines. No action lias
l>een taken looking to the selection of a per
manent site for a military post In the Ha
waiian Islands. Some difficulty has been
found In securing pasturage for the large
number of animals that have been unloaded
temporarily at Honolulu.
The water supply has been obtained from
the Honolulu system, which Is furnished
by artesian wells. Large extensions are
now being made to the water supply plant
of Honolulu. The city has heretofore been
without sewerage, but a complete plant is
now in course of construction.
I'lague Did Mot Attack the Army.
Speaking of the bubonic plague. Major
Ruhlen says that no person connected with
the military service took the disease. The
only direct effects uf the plague were that
the quarantine restrictions prevented for a
time the use of Honolulu as a port for the
transport service.
The transport service has, however, used
the p >rt of Honolulu quite extensively dur
ing the year. During the year there
stopped at Honolulu, en route from San
Francslco to Manila fifty-three transports,
with troops and supplies, one with supplies
only, thirteen with horses, mules and sup
plies, and one hospital ship. From San
Francisco to Honolulu only there stopped
one transport with supplies, and four wuh
horses, mules and supplies. From Seattle
to Manila there stopped one transport with
supplies, and three with aorses, mules and
supplies. From Portland to Manila there
stopped one transport with horses, mules
and supplies, and two with troop* and sup
plies There were sent from Honolulu to
Munila two transports with horses, mules
and supplies. From Manila to San Fran
cisco there stopped two hospital ships, one
transport with troops and discharged en
listed men. and two transports in ballast.
There have been issued to the transports
32.893 tons of coal during the year. The
average cost of coal was $7.iM% per ton.
Australla-n coal cost per ton.
The quartermaster says no progress has
been made by the local authorities in eon
net tl .n with Increasing the harbor facilities.
The I'nlted States navy wharf, eighty feet
wide and WW feet long, has been completed
and is available for the army transport ser
vice.
Laad Required.
In addition to the land required for mili
tary reservations, he advocates the pur
chase of about thirty acres more, in order
to make It desirable as a military site. One
reservation contains 1,344 acres, and an
other 14,400 acres. The latter Is eighteen
miles from Honolulu, and Is about seven
miles from the railway station at Pearl
City. One of the Indentations of the coast
is called Pearl Harbor. Ha thinks that
site Is very well adapted for a military
reservation. A considerable portion of both
these reservations was leased in 1882 for
thirty years, and these leases will not ex
pire until VJ12. The lands are mostly used
(or grazing purposes.

Gen. George H. Harries, commanding the
District militia, today submitted to the
Commissioners his estimate of th# amount
necessary for the support and maintenance
of the militia during the fiscal year tnding
June 30. 1902. The current District appro
priation bill provides the sum of $52.:>75,
while Gen. Harries' estimate for the com
ing fiscal year aggregates $58,475, an in
crease of $0,100. The estimate is as fol
lows:
For rent, fuel, light, care and repair of
armories and practice s'dps. and for tele
phone service, $18,275 (increase of $3,800);
for lockers, furniture and gymnastic ap
paratus for armories, $40O; for printing end
stationery, $.">00; for cleaning and repairing
uniforms, arms and equipments and con
tingent expenses, $1,000; for custodian in
charge of t'nlted States property and fctore
rooms, $<J00; for one clerk, otiice of the ad
jutant general, $!HX) (new); for expenses of
drills and parades, $1,200 (Increase of S>200);
for expenses of rifle practice and matches,
$3,000; fur expenses of camps. Instruction,
practice marches and practice cruises, $13,
tiOO; for pay of troops, other than govern
ment employes (to be disbursed under the
direction of the commanding general), $17,
000; for general incidental expenses of the
service, $000 (increase of $2oo>; total, $58,
475. Amount appropriated for fiscal year
ending June 30, 1002, $52,375; total increase,
$<5,100.
Note?The increase of $3,800 in the first
item provides for the refitting of the l.'nit?d
States ship Oneida, asslgne.i for the use of
the Naval Battalion, but unfit for service.
Under a ruling of the Navy Department in
1899 the refitting: could be done out of the
regular naval appropriation, but a decision
made during the present year now prevails
and the Navy Department ins:. ;s that the
repairs shall be provided for In the District
bill. The ship is the property of the gen
eral government. Tl?e only additional item
Is for a much-needed elerte in the office of
the adjutant general. Increases of $200
each are estimated "For expenses of drills
and parades," and ''For general incidental
expenses of the service."

RECEPTION TENDERED.
Royal Arcannm Grand Council Cireet*
Supreme Reicent.
A large and fashionable audience gathered
at National Rifles' Armory hist evening to
participate in the entertainment and recep
tion given by the grand council of the
Royal Arcanum to Mr. VV. Holt Apgar of
New Jersey, supreme regent of the order.
The hall was tilled to overflowing, and many
were unable to obtain admission. The pro
gram arranged for ihe occasion was well
rendered, and was enjoyed by all, as the
generous applauds demonstrated.
The entertainment opened with a selec
tion, entitled "Ameer," by Prof, lianlein's
orchestra. Thos. J. Landergren, grand re
gent of this jurisdiction, then introduced
Mr. Apgar. who made a short address.
After an overture by Prof. Hanlein's or
chestra. the Burnt Cork Club gave some
special selections. The jokes and songs were
new and up to date and greatly pleased the
large audience. Through the courtesy of
Mr. H&shim of the Academy of Music.
Bessie Bonehill and others, who are at
the Academy this week, were heard in sev
eral excellent character songs. Seeley and
Wtst, novelty musical artists, also of the
Academy cast, won a liberal share of the
applause.
Vernona Jarbeau, another Acaremy artist,
clcsed the program with several songs and
recitations. Her French and Irish dialect
sketches were very pleasing.
The entertainment closed with a dance.
RECEIVERS PENDENTE LITE,
Actios of Court In Matter Involving
A naloittan Inland.
In the case of Clarence A. Brandenburg,
trustee, and others against Maria G. Dewey
and others, Justice Barnard has signed a
decree appointing W. Mosby Williams and
Artihur Peter receivers pendente lite, and,
unless a certain mortgage indebtedness is
paid on or before August 1, 15)01. Messrs.
Blair Lee and John D. Coughlan are also
appointed trustees to make sale of "Ana
lostan Island," and certain property on the
north and south side of Water street, at the
corner of 35th street, Georgetown.
It will be remembered that the complain
ants. as trustees, under the will of ^.iary J.
Wright filed a bill In November of last
year, alleging among other things that the
property Involved was mortgaged to .-se
cure an indebtedness of about $80,000, made
by the defendant. Mania G. Dewey and the
late Powell M. and Frederick W. Bradley,
and that the Interest thereon was several
years in default. It was asked that the
property be sold under the direction and
decree of the court, and pending such sale
that receivers be appointed to take charge
of the property, collect rents ; nd pay
taxes. The proiXM*ty, it is said, has been
owned by the Bradley family for half a
century, having been conveyed to Yv m. ?
Bradley by John Marbury, executor of
John Carter's will, in August. 1851.
In years gone by Analostan Island was
used as a summer resort, and in later years
the Columbia Athletic Club used it. The
Water street property is used by Tenncy's
flouring mill. The twenty-odd defendants
to the suit were represented by rieniphill &
Peter. J. J. Darlingto-n. Davidge & Davidge,
W. E. Edmonston, Blair Lee and John D.
Coghlan. An unusual provision of the de
cree is that the trustees to make sale shall
serve without compensation.
Dlntrict Taken Appeal.
The attorney for the District of Colum
bia this afternoon noted an appeal to the
Court of Appeals, from the Judgment of
Justice Bradley, announced last Monday,
by which Frank Morris, Lewis Barker and
David Collins were released from the work
house under habeas corpus proceedings.
The principal point raised Involved the fact
that the men had been tiled In the Police
Court on an Information that had not been
sworn to, and that, therefore, the trial was
cull and void.
