BALTIMORE, May t. 'Immi-
grafton" was the principal subject
OF discussion ut the conference OF
Charities and Corrections today.
President Antwerp Of the New
York State Eoard Of Charities read
n paper on the subject. He COM
n1ended the action Of the Treasury
in placing the execution Of the law
at New York IN the hands Of Fed
eTal officers, anu advised like action
at other ports. The paper speaks OF
the growing number Of Immigrants
from the south and interior Of
Europe, whose language is almost
beyond cur ability 10 acquire, who
have no INCLINATION TO acquire ouTs,
ard whose vague conception OF
citizenship is not in keeping with
the American standard. II the in
coming Of these ignorant aud I'M
desirable classes is not checked,
enough ignorance in time may be
impaired 10 Overwhelm the stability
Of our government itself.
4 paper by Mr.. Wilmington Of
Boston set forth that, while the
population Of Massachusetts, for the
last two years had increased by 90
per cent and the wealth but so per
cent, the expense for pauper sup
port had increased $50 per cent.
This great increase Of pauper ex-
penditure was due to wholesale i'm
migration into the United States.
The annual commitment Of insane
offoreign birth is in a ratio Of three
% one OF native birth.

We dare not anticipate.

We dare not anticipate.
Rev. DIR. Henry Van Dyke OF
New York was delighted with the
report, and did not accord with the
views Of DIR. Patton. He denied
the legislative right Of the assembly
Ia saying that there il no line Ia the
digest that eonfers that power. The
presbytery existed before the gene
raj assemtls, aud never sa-e II leg
islative power. There can he nO
action to change the standards ex
cept by mutHal cooperation between
the assembly and the presbyteries.
The report seemed 10 him Van
Dykel a peace measure prescribing
a fair and practicable method Of
coming 10 an understanding. DR..
Van Dyke added that for twenty
years he had been growing con-
WINGED that q revision was sure 10
come. ''1Ou can no more stop y
than vol can keep hack the spring
piling up last winters ice"
Judge Wilson Of Philadelphia
spoke rs a member Of the committee.
He said the report was not made
primarily 20 favor revision or anti
revision. 1t was framed as the best
way TO extricate the church from
the conflict as TO the force and
meaning Of the adoption act. which
has gone on ever since It's enact
ment. In making the report we
aimed to keep what is vital, and, at
the same time, 10 put the
GREAT ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLE
forever hereafter beyond dispute,
except by those bound to have a
fight any way. The report does not
interfere with the legislative power
Of the assembly, II It had any, but,
on the other baud, gives II greater
power Of conservation and regula-
ton. Practically any amendment
10 the standards must be formulated
in the assembly, because the presby-
teries have not needed facilities for
consultation. They may propose, but
the assembly must coordinate their
PROPOSITIONS. TIE Assembly ought
not TO have such legislative power
a. 30 defeat amendments proposed
hy one-thini Of the pTesbyteries and
adopted hy twO-thirds. Presidepl
Patton has no legal foundation FOL
