CLIMPSE OF WORK CIVEH
Pauer Read to Woman's Board.
Recruits and Money-Volun-teers-The
Women.
So radically does the "Inland China
Mission" differ from other enterprises
of the same sort that it may be call
ed most remarkable. A quite complete
account of the undertaking was given
in Mrs. W. A. Bowen's paper read
before the Woman's Board at Central
Union Church on Tuesday afternoon.
J. Hudson Tavlor. fm
unique, growing and effective work,
has visited Honolulu and is known
personally to a number of people here
Following are extracts from Mrs
Bowen's contribution to mission lite
rature-
Organization under the name was
in 1865 and was to some extent the
continuation of an earlier work. J.
Hudson, Taylor was sent to China in
1863 by the Chinese Evangelization So
ciety and for several years worked un
der the auspices of that body. Subse
quently he and the Rev. John Jones
continued to work as unconnected mis
sionaries and established a church at
Ningpo. Early in 1860, Mr. Taylor
wrote to a firiend in England of the
need for further help, and returning
home himself, sent out in 1862, Mr.
Jas. Mead and his young wife. Later
several others were sent out. Some of
the distinctive features of the mission
are:
That it is pan-denominational and
international. The workers are mem
bers of all the leading denominations
and have gone out from England,
Scotland, Ireland and Wales, Finland,
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany,
Switzerland, the United States, Cana
da, the Australian colonies, Tasmania
and New Zealand.
The workers have no guaranteed sa
laries, but trust only to the Lord to
supply their needs.
No personal solicitation or collection
is authorized by the mission, volun-
ary contributions alone being receiv
ed. It may be added that names of
donors are never published.
Direction of work in the field is car
ried on by missionaries, who, as super-
ntendents of work in various provin
ces help and guide those of less experi
ence.
All the operations .of the Mission
are systematic and methodical and are
in accordance with and one integral
part of a general and comprehensive
plan for the evanglization of the whole
of China. The aim of the Mission is
not to secure in the shortest time the
argest number of converts, but to
bring about in the shortest time the
evangelization of the whole empire,
regarding it as of secondary impor
tance by whom the sheaves may be
athered.
Following up the plan of exploring
China from a missionary point of view.
stations were opened in twelve capi
tals of eleven provinces as well as in
subordinate cities. At the close of
893, 123 stations in fourteen provinces
had resident missionaries.
One must be impressed with the
wonderful working of faith in carry
ing on this great work. To meet the
many perplexities, Mr. Taylor could
only pray for aid. He wished to sup
ply the gospel for as many of 130,000,
000 people if possible. The first peti
tion was for twenty-four workers, and
these came. Upon every occasion
when recruits have been needed there
have been offered prayer for a specific
number and in every instance the en
listment quota has exceeded the draft.
No missionary has gone without
first being sure of funds needed for in
dividual work and support. No debts
are ever allowed to be contracted either
in the field or by the workers at home.
Contributions of as much as $5,000
have been received and later duplicat
ed, without a name being given. Ac
cording to the latest reports the
strength of the Inland China Mission
is: 131 stations, 106 out-stations, 5S3
missionaries, 12 ordained pastors, 89
school teachers. 140 Bible women, 134
organized churches. Dispensaries have
been established by consecrated phy
sicians. A movement of this sort naturally
would attract all manner of people
and supporters. A party of new work
ers consisted of seven young men.
Five were graduates of Cambridge
University. The other two resigned
commissions in crack regiments.
However, this is largely u woman s
j work and they have proven themselves
eager for it and capable. In writing
of the Mission, Geraldine Guiness
says: "There are no homes in China
as we count homes. One
fifth of all the women in the world are
found in China a number so vast as
to be almost inconceivable. One baby
girl out of every five is cradled in the
arms of a Chinese mother. One little
maiden out of every five grows up in
Ignorance and neglect, drudging in the
daily toil of some Chinese family or
crying over the pain of her crippled
feet in a wealthier home. Amongst
all the youthful brides one out of ev
ery five goes weeping in China to the
tyranny of a mother-in-law she dreads
and the indifference of a husband she
has never seen.
One-fifth of all the women in the
world are waiting, waiting in China,
for the Savior who so long has waited
for them.
Wanted for Decorations.
John F. Hackfeld, in charge of the
Imperial German Consulate here, was
asked yesterday concerning the adver
tisement he is publishing in the Ger
man language. Mr. Hackfeld explain
ed that the message was directed to
men who had won medals in the ser
vice of the German Empire in the wars
of 1864, 1866 or 1870-71. The holder of
a decoration for being in any or all of
those campaigns is to receive a spe
cial medal. This new medal was de
cided upon by Willian Third last year
and was struck to commemorate the
lOuth year since the birth of the late
Emperor Willian First. Such names as
are sent to Consul John F. Hackfeld
will be forwarded without delay to the
Imperial Foreign Office.
Condition of Minister Kins
Capt. James A. King, Minister of the
Interior, is again out of office tem
porarily. He returned but a few days
ago from Sydney, having made a trip
to that place on account of an illness
from which he had suffered for many
months. "Captain King's condition was
much improved by the voyage, but aft
er being on duty in the Cabinet again
for a few days he finds that he is not
entirely recovered and will at once
look to his health. The trouble now is
insomnia, which ft is believed can be
remedied by a visit to Hawaii. Henry
E. Cooper, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
is again acting Minister of the Inter
ior.
Leilanis.
An enthusiastic meeting of the Lei-
lani Boat Club was held at the Hawai
ian Hotel last evening. Chairman Col-
burn of the Building Committee report
ed that he had collected $640 for the
building fund, and that he was en
deavoring to collect and raise the bal
ance of $360. As soon as this is done
the building can be started.
It was unanimously voted to enter
a crew in the shell race for the Fourth
of July, and, if arrangements can be
made with the other two clubs for ac
commodation in way of boats, for the
barge race.
'An Island God" Author.
Mr. Mumford, author of the Hawai
ian novel mentioned in this paper yes
terday morning, was a visitor to the
Islands for several months a year or
so ago. He came here to visit his
friend and Harvard classmate, R. F.
Woodward, of Kamehameha Schools.
Mr. Mumford is a wealthy man fond of
travel and adventure and with a de
cided literary bent. He read the novel
to friends here while it was still in the
manuscript. The appendix, a short his
torical sketch well done, is by R. F.
Woodward.
More Money Needed.
Mr. W. W. Hall says that an erron
eous impression concerning the finan
ces of the Hawaiian Board seems to
prevail. There have been answers to
the appeal published in this paper, but
a considerable sum is yet required for
liquidation of accounts before May 15.
A number of the contibutions men
tioned in some of the town papers were
made some months ago. Mr. Hall is
still anxious to receive moneys to
avoid the prospective deficit.
DEPENDABLE BARGAINS.
Now that the stock of the fire sale
is out of the way, L. B. Kerr will
turn over a new leaf and offer to the
trade a personally selected stock of
beautiful dry goods at prices with
prices attacked which competition cam
not touch.
REPORT ON WHARF
Senate Lays Right to Parchase
Bill on the Taole.
KAPIOLAHI PARK BILLS TABLED
Cable Franchise Act Deferred.
Lfght Wine and Beer Act
Is Passed.
SENATE.
Sixty-seventh Day, May 4.
Cecil Brown, P. C. Jones, C. Bolte,
Mark Robinson and John Ena were
elected members of the Council of
State by the Senate. Senators Wilder,
Waterhouse, Wright and McCandless
were also placed in nomination but de
clined to run. Other nominees were
J. A. Kennedy, J. B. Atherton and
George Carter.
The Special Committee that has been
considering the bill to grant the Oahu
railway wharf privileges made a re
port recommending that the bill be
laid on the table. The report describes
the purposes of the bill and makes a
resume of the proceedings now being
had in the Courts on the wharf ques
tion. It briefly outlines the conditions
of the lease of land to the railway com
pany in 1890, and the Government's
claim for obtaining possession of the
land after 90 days notice. The report
further states in part:
The Government has rested its claim
In this case on the right given to the
Minister of the Interior by this agree
ment, and that the Government has the
right to take the property for public
wharves, and that such public use is
superior to that proposed by the rail
way company.
The railway company, on the other
hand, claims that its wharf plan pre
sents superior public advantages over
that of the Government.
In regard to the question as to
whether the Legislature should take up
and decide questions of this nature
your committee are of the opinion that
all cases which can be settled by the
Court should be left for the Court to
settle.
As legislators, we were elected to
pass appropriations and make laws for
the country, but not to execute the
laws or to sit as a court of equity.
The Legislature has the power to in
terfere with the policy of the Execu
tive, but in our opinion it is unwise to
do so unless the course being pursued
by them is manifestly unjust, or is
against the public interests.
The report states that the case now
on trial between the Minister of the
Interior and the railway company is
not one in which parties would unjust
ly suffer loss unless the Legislature au
thorized the settlement of the claims,
for this company has the advantage in
going to Court of being backed up by
laws which grant liberal rights and
privileges.
The Committee believe that, because
of this right of the company to go to
Court, it would not be right or proper
for the Legislature to interfere with
the Executive. The report concludes:
Honolulu harbor is so limited that
your committee wish to express with
emphasis our view that the Govern
ment should obtain and retain control
of all the water front possible in the
harbor, for it seems plain to us that in
the near future it will be necessary to
expend much larger sums of money for
developing the wharf capacity of the
harbor than any individual .company
or corporation, would be ready to
spend for that purpose.
The report was adopted.
Senator Holstein reported to the
Senate on the visit of the Committee
to Molokai settlement. The commit
tee expressed the heartiest commenda
tion of thfi on-nrlurt nf settlement af
fairs and of the appearance of the
settlement. The report briefly describ
ed the visit and stated that but few
complaints had been received from the
members of the settlement. The
committee stated that the water ques
tion would be passed by as an appro
priation of $20,000 had been insertea
in the loan bill and the Board of
Health had the matter under consider
0i
ation. At the meetinc IipUI nt Tr-io,..
papa in the afternoon requests were
made by the afflicted. They wished
their rations of flour, bread and rice
placed on a basis of money valuation,
that awa and opium be allowed those
formerly in the habit of using them,
that kerosene oil be allowed at the
rate of one quart per person, that the
mail route be changed from Kauna
kakai and Honolulu direct to the set
tlement, that a resident Magistrate bo
allowed them. They ask that $3,500
be appropriated for a wharf. They
also ask for coffee shops for which a
51.UU0 appropriation was made at tho
last session. Their final request is
that their relatives be allowed to visit
them semi-annually.
The committee stated that the ma
jority of the complaints has been pre
sented to the Board of Health for con
sideration. The committee stated that
upon investigation it was found that
the rations furnished the members of
the settlement were ample. In con
clusion the committee said that they
deeply appreciated the work of the
noble Sisters and Brothers there re
siding for their help and assistance
in rendering comfort to the suffering
and afflicted in that distressed colony.
The report was received by the Sen
ate. The light wine andbeer license bill
came up on third reading. Senator
Baldwin's motion to indefinitely post
pone was lost, as was also his motion
to amend to require the approval of
the Executive Council before the
granting of a, license and to strike out
the requisition for the endorsement of
a majority of the electors. The bill
then passed third reading by a vote of
8 to 5.

it was announced that the Prwsi.
dent had signed the bill providing for

cuit Judge, the bill annrovinir h
compilation of the Penal Laws.
Minister Cooper gave notice of his
intention to Introduce a bill amendine-
the law relating to Chinese immigra
tion.
The answer of Minister f!nnnPr
the questions presented bv Senatni-
Kepoikai relative to the wharf at Ka
hului were read and received.
The House bill regulating the duty
on sake to 60 cents passed third read
ing by a vote of 8 to 5.
The bill allowing the withdrawal
free of duty of alcohol from the Cus
toms House by the Queen's Hospital
passed third reading.
At 11:45, the' Senate adjourned to
1:30 o'clock.
At the afternoon session, the land
act prepared by the President was tak
en up and passed with the exception
of Section 2, stricken out. This sec
tion permitted the Executive Council
to expend proceeds from sale of public
lands for the purchase of other lands
for public purposes. The opposition
to this provision was on the belief
that it placed too much authority in
the hands of the Executive. Third
reading of the bill was set for Frldnv.
The Senate laid on the table the bill
to allow leaseholders of the KapiolanI
park lots to purchase their lease holds,
and the bill providing for the reversion
of the lots to the Government at the
expiration of the terms of the leases.
It was only after considerable discus
sion that action was taken. Senator
McCandless thinks the leaseholders
have a "soft snap" and said so very
plainly. He argued that the beach
lots are absolutely necessary for the
neaun or tne poor people of the citv.
that those particular lotes are practi
cally the only ones left to the Gov
ernment for such purposes. He feared
that the leaseholders have a desire to
obtain possession of the lots by hook
or crook and that unless the Legisla
ture took definite action they would
pass out of the control of the Govern
ment.
The Senator stated that even thoueh
the Government still held the right
for free passage along the beach for
the Dublic. the leaseholders were not
dispossed to permit such passage antf
made disagreeable remarks about peo
ple who went along.
Senator Brown explained the condi-
