The report was very en- couraging, showing steady growth in the mission work of the church. During the past year 17 new fields have been opened, making a total of 85 mission fields within the bounds of the synod. Several of the mis- sion fields have become self-support- ing and others placed on the list of augmented charges. The report was ably seconded by Rev. D. McG. Gandier, who dwelt upon the importance and the needs ef our home mission work: Instan- ces were given showing the good work dore by the - missionaties. During the past year over $18,000 had been required. For the en- suing year over $28,000 would be needed, the increase being needed because of the new fields that have been occupied and the synod being given charge of the mission work in the Yukon.

Rev. W. L. Clay of Victoria reported that pre- -parations were being made in all the presbyteries of the synod for an active canvass in all the congrega- tions. A conservative estimate of the amount this synod was likely to raise was placed at $40,000, $6000 of this to be raised by Kootenay Presbytery. Rev. Prof. Bryce, L. L. D., of Manitoba, gave reasons why the western Presbyteries should not for- get the common fund in their de- sire to wipe out debt on church property. One was that $175,000 of the common fund was tobe di and two of them upset at the junction with the main Red Mountain track, delay- ing the passenger train till 6 o'clock.

A voice trom inside said: “What do you want?” He said:. “I want you.” Then a bullet came through the door from the inside. He. heard: no other remark, ; He then started to walk to the stairs, but-when ‘he had gone about five feet, two shots in quick succession were fired from behind and one of them wounded him in the back. His legs dropped from under him and he -fell backwards with his-head to. the north, - He could not tell which of the two shots hit him, :He was then hit on hands of Albi. There was~an in- candescent light burning in the hall and he saw Albi distinctly. Albi was on his knees, with one hand on the back of McArthur’s collar and the other coming down on him with the pistol in it. He could not say how often Albi struck.him. remember it, nor- did he remember saying anything. Between the firing of the first pistol ‘shot and the: time when he became. unconscious, he saw Albo in the hall. He came on the scene shortly after the two shots were fired “and while Albi. was hitting him. ‘He did not recognize Albo. He heard the man’s voice, but could not say whether he heard any words... Albo was ‘the only person he saw ‘or heard in the hall. Under cross-exaamination by. Mr. Hamilton, McArthur said he went to the International ahout 9 o'clock and watched the show. He had been drinking, but was not drunk when he left there. He talked to some people at the theatre, but could not. recall any of their names.

He entered Win- burg today. after a brisk fight, in which the Boers fell back so quicily that one of their guns, in addition to a Maxim, was abandoned.” Australians Won the Crossing. The saine dispatch, describing the crossing of the Vet river by the British says: “The Boer forces entrenched on the opposite ban': prepared to con- test the crossing.
