The BAPTIST Convention.

At the annual meeting OF the Baptists Of
the United States at Washingto on, several
thousand persons were in attendance. One
day was given up TO a convention to dis
cuss the proposed establishment OF ~ gem
eral baptist education society. This con-
vention was due to a suggestion by Dr.
Moorhouse at the annual meeting OF the
home missionary society last year. Rev
DR.. y. e. Lorimer OF Chicago was elected
chairman. His subject was the Bap-
fists and higher education in the North
west. He deprecated the doctrine that re.
liglon had no place in a college curriculum
Ii such doctrines prevail the only schools
where religion would be taught would be
those OF the Roman Catholic church, which
meant that this people would become a
Roman Catholic people, or what was in
hnltely worse, an anarchical or athe-
lstic one. DR.. Lorimer referred to immigra-
ton and Romanism as the perils that
threatened the West. At the present rate
OF increase, he said, there would be 25, :
600, 600 OF people OF foreign birth vest OF
the Mississippi in the year 1900. They
had, he said, nothing to hope for from Ro-
manism. Upon the conclusion OF Dir.
Lorimer's address some time was given to
general discussion
1t was decided to form an educational
society. Unlication OF the two branches
OF the church was favored The principal
address was by ike Rev DR.. WAY.
land Hoyt of Philadelphia, who said that
the president Of the United Staets might,
IN his opinion, have been engaged in better
business than when he gave official recog-
milton to Romanism by sending a gilt to
the pope. This sentiment was received
with vociferous applause.

Decision on Tree Claims.

The secretary OF the interior has estab-
lished a new principle in the matter OF con-
tests against timber culture entries.
Amelia Waite had made timber culture
entry for eighty acres OF land in the
Tracy district, Mimi. James Linderman
initiated a contest against the al.
legged entry, charging Noncompliance
with the law in the matter
OF planting and cultivating trees,
and with his affidavit OF contest
filed his application for entry OF the land.
The testimony at the hearing established
the fact thas Mrs. Waite had planted and
had in good growing condition one half
the quantity OF timber required by law
The secretary claims that she may amend
her entry DO relnquishing one half the
land she had entered, and on sub.
uniting final proofs showing full
compliance with legal requirements receive
patents for the remainder-forty acres
The practice heretofore has been to con-
slider a timber culture entry as an entirety
and upon evidence by contestant show
ing failure to make a full compliance with
law, to cancel the whole entry, allowing
the contestant 81 preference to enter the
land in controversy.
