TAimiflTn V i MANFG CQr U INLAND CHINA Operation of the Mission That is Fonnflefl on Faith. 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. The House bill rpnn!rln(r t,H m an increase in the assessment on pron- rrn.y ysseu miru reading. it was announced that the Prwsi. dent had signed the bill providing for tne temporary appointment of a Cir 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- (Continued on Page 2.) 1 Royal makes the food pure, wholesome and dellclooa. . mm men Absolute! Pure WOVAl BAIWM POWOf R CO.. NFWVOWt- mm 0
