The work accomplished at the meeting in this connection is undoubtedly
most satisfactory, but unfortunately we have still to overcome the difficu ty
reoresented by the invariable disinclination, or practical powerlessness, of thelocal

now reported.

of these claims and he will also make such other payments as he
can. He is much impoverished and this is all he can do.
