There was just one point it seemed to him which ought to have attention called to it. At the beginning of last year there was a deficit of nearly $1,000. At the end of the year there was a balance in hand of over $,1000. That was to had made way to the extent of over $2,000, He believed the deficiency last year was partly caused by repairs to the organ. They must remember this, that in accordance with the request which he received by telegraph from the Church Body, he had invited a clergyman to come out to assist Mr. Cobbold in the Cathedral. That gentleman would have to be paid; and the increase of $2,000 was not suffi- cient to pay the salary which he was authorised to promise him.

GENERAL Calixto Garcia, who for many years was the leader of the Cuban insurgents against the Spanishrule, and lately visited Washington to consult with the American authorities about the future government of the island, died in that city of pneumonia on Dec. Irth. AT the close of a lecture delivered at Brighton by De Rougernont, or Grien, the author of the narrative which has attracted such attention in the Wide World Magazine, Mr. Ogden, a magistrate of Sydn, addressed the audience, and detailed an accident which occurred some time age in connection with a diving apparatus in which Grien was interested. Ms. Ogden severely criticised the lecturer's statements, and denounced him as "a polished liar,"

THE Universal Gazelle's Peking correspondent telegraphs that the secret edict reported to have been sent by the Empress Dowager to the Governor of Chinese Turkestan the other day was, after all, not meant to recall the exited Chang Yin-huan, but that if it is any comfort to his friends to know, the edict merely cancelled the sentence of banishment for life to imprison ment for life. This looks the same but really absolves the exile from working on the post-

roads.

AN Edict issued recently states that owing to the state of the Emperor's health he is unable to worship at the Imperial Temple on the 10th day of the 1st Chinese moon and has asked Prince Ching to take his place at that- ceremonial. The Sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, the Sun and Moon and the Spirits of the Land and Grain will be held on the 3rd day of the and Chinese moon. Prince Vi will attend thercat instead of the Emperor to wor ship at the appropriate temples.

Mr. Jackson, in replying remarked that as he said last year, though he was the honorary treasurer Mr. Wright was the real treasurer, Mr. Wright did all the work. He would convey to him in a sort of vicarious way the vote which had just been passed

Sir John Carrington, in referring to the departure of Mr. Spriggs, said that Mr. Spriggs was for a long time a member of the choir, and was a constant and faithful attender at the practices. Besides that he helped the chaplain very greatly and very generously in the minis trations in connection with the church. Ho believed the chaplain had said he had hardly ever been first connected with the Cathedral, The Church

Mr. Jackson (hon. treasurer), in presenting the accounts, said they commenced the year with a deficit of $907.67. That was caused by very extensive repairs to the organ. Had it not been for the expense thus incurred they would have been so much to the good. These repairs absent from a single service since he was cost over $2,000.

The want scriptions in response to the appeal in respect of interest in the matter was very much to be, deplored. He quite saw that to keep- the

church in a satisfactory financial position a more urgent appeal would have to be made to the supporters of the church during the coming year, it would never do for them to drift into debt. Their position now was a sound and satisfactory one, but he could see that with the expenses they had to meet in the future an increased response would have to be made,

Sir John Carrington stated that when the Church Body telegraphed to his lordship asking him to invite an assistant chaplain to come out they thought there would be a generous response on the part of the scat holders and subscribers:

The Hon. R. D. Ormsby said he did not think the prospect before them was unhopeful. They had wiped off a debt of $1,000 and started the year with $1,000 in hand towards the salary of the chaplain. He thought that when the chap. lain arrived they might hope to recsive more subscriptions.
