FRIDAY EVENING. The evening session was devoted to business and was given over to the report of the American Friends Itoarvi of Foreign Missions, of which Mahala Jay of this city is general secretary. The priucipal points of the report are as follows: The called meeting of the Ameri can Frieuds' Board was held at Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana, the 4th and 5th of second month. 1100, At it steps were taken for incorpor ating the board, trustees were appointed, and o&cers were elected,

and the officers were constituted the executive committee of the board. The board decided to enrae in mission work in the island of Cuba, and appointed Zenas L. Martin of Hubbird, Iowa, ageDt and superintendent of the work. By the recently changed relations of the United States to the Spanish West Indies the inhabitants of tboe islands have, in the overruling provi

dence of tioti, become virtually the wards of our government. It is now the business of the United States to look after their civil welfare. It goes without saying that the Christian j eople of America should look after their moral and spiritual well-beinj' Friends have some decided facilities for and callings to this service. Two lar,'e yearly meetings, Indiana and Western, with New York and Baltimore also aiding, are working. anu nave wortea lor many years. among' the Spanish-speaking people of Mexico, iney have experience in mission work amonjj a people similar to the Cubans, and one with which the Cubans are connected by manv ties of friendship and sympathy. The services of Zenas L. Martin are retained for next winter to com plete the needed arrangements for mission property and for building the houses proposed and otherwise aiding in the opening of the mission. Miss hmma llulnps, late mission ary at Matamoras, Mexico, and who goes to Cuba soon, gave an interest ing talk fuh of devotion to duty. She told of her distinct call to Cuba, as she had seven years ago been called to Mexico. She had with her a native Mexican girl, who had been edu cated at Hussey institute, at Matamoras, an institution founded by Friends under the auspices of the Indiana Yearly Meeting. The girl has been connected with the mission for seeral years. She is the only Protestant in her family, the rest tie ing catholics. one enuureu numer ous forms and degrees of persecution but of late her family has consented for the daughter to go, saying, amid a torrent of tears: She is yours. She belongs to your faith and your religion. I can not believe as I'rotestants do, but sne may go in man way so long as she feels inclined to do so. " The girl is handsome, intelligent. but speaks English with diniculty She is accustomed to speak in the Spanish language. Through the in terpretation of Miss Phillips she ad dossed the meeting briefly. Zeuas L. Martin of Hubbard. Ia., agent and superintendent Friends' missionary of ' the work in Cuba, delivered a strong address on the situation in Cuba. The kev-uote of his address was this: "New is the day of Cuba's salvation; aud her opportunity is our obligation." American Chris tians are responsible for the salvation of the Cubans. He deplored the introduction of the liquor traffic and other vices, viciousness and immor ality into the island of Cuba. American Christians must grow in grace. Poverty, vice aud immorality are ttrootnt; in our country. Can we attempt the salvation of peoples in other countries? This government has freed the people of Cuba from Spanish tyranny, but there remains the tyranny of sin; they must be made "free indeed." Allen Jay made a plea for the Cuban missionary work. A n anony mous person gave $100, and other liberal contributions were made, amounting approximately to 2T5. Several Spanish versions oT wellknown l'rotestant hymns were given by the Mexican students and missionaries. A benediction was pronounced by William Hobsonof London, England. He referred touchingly to the Amer ican "open doors" in Mexico and Cuba. Adjourned to meet in joint session Saturday morning. POLITICS. While the Friends who are attending Indiana Yearly Meeting do not discuss politics very much, the followiu incident which occurred yesterday morning during tha discussion of the state of society shows the political complexion of those in attendance: Robert W. Douglass was urging upon Friends t he importance of keeping politics out of the church and the evils of bringing political discussions into religion. "It makes little difference what 3'our politics are " said Mr. Douglass. "If you are a Democrat, all right, but 1 can't see how any member of Indiana Yearly Meeting can be one. " There was a general outburst of "aniens" through the large audieuce. SATURDAY MORNIXO. At the joint session this morning credentials were read for Thomas Newlin, president ot Wilmington colIt ge. Esther Frame sent word she could not be present this year. The epistles for iowa, Canada ana Kansas vearlv meetings were read.

The number favoring the adoption very materially out numbered those opposing the adop tion at this time, and the discipline was declared adopted and ordered printed in the minutes. This disposes ot one the most important questions whieh has ever been brought before Indiana Yearly Meeting.and although the feeling against the adoption at this time was quite pronounced, it is believed that the meeting has done the best thing, thus leading in the final adoption at the quinquennial conference to be held in liMKJ.
