BERLIN, March 1.-THE Emperor William
in letter to the pope informs him that he has
appointed Bishop Kopp Of Breslau one Of the
delegates to represent Germany at the labor
conference and asserts that he depends upon
the support OF the Catholic clergy in settling
the social question. In replying to the letter
the pope thanked the emperor for appointing
Bishop kopp and declared that himself and th.
church had always been interested in the ques-
ton, which, he said, would be best solved by the
application of the principles advocated by
Christian people, which were Sunday rest and
religious education.

A Bank Wrecker,s Return.

CHICAGO, March I'D. c. Spencer, to whose
bad management was attributed the ruin and
misery which followed the collapse of the Cook
County national bank and the State savings in
stitution In 1877, arrived in Chicago YESTERDAY.
after an absence of over thirteen wears.
As banker Spencer's career is without
parallel in the history of Chicago
and almost Of the entire country. In the
ruin of the institutions which collapsed under
his management the savings of many hundreds
OF poor people were swallowed up and wide
spread misery and destitution entaiied. As pres
ident Of the State savings institution he loaned
immense sums to himself on promissory notes
and worthless paper. with the result that
the institution soon went down. The
Cook County national bank had
failed in the panic Of 1873. Just before the
crash OF the State savings institution Spencer
absconded and located in Stuttgart, Germany,
where he has lived since that time until re-
Gently, when he returned to this country. The
indictments which were found against him at
the time OF the failure have long been stricken

NEW LIGHT ON BURCHELL.
Some Believe He is the Victim OF False
Suspicion.

woopsrocK, ONT. March 1.-THE excite
ment over the murder OF Benvell and the ar
rest of Burchell 10 TO large extent dying out
and the people are beginning 10 turn their ~
tention 70 the evil system OF pupil farming.
There are many here who believe Burchen TO
be innocent, and base their belief upon the fact
that some mistakes have been made a. regards
his Identification.
In the hrst place, Conductor Poole and the
tram hands are positive that Burchell and Ben
well got on the train at Eastwood on the morn
ing OF February L. while station Agent Dunn
and his assistant Jones are equally positive that
neither OF them got of there and that
the gun case referred to in Poole's evidence
was not put Of there. Jones identifies the
prisoner as man who took a train for Hsmil-
ton during the afternoon, and this strengthens
the belief that Jones is correct when
he states that Burchel did not appear
there during the morning. Another
singular thing 10 that on "Wednesday.
February 19, Pelley is positive that Hurchel
was with him at Niagara Falls, but Fred Mill
man, who knows Barcheii we'll, il also positive
that upon the same day he saw Burcheu here.
The only conclusion TO be arrived ct 10 that
Burcheii has double and that the prisoner
wall probably have no difficulty in proving en-
alibi.
Burchelrs friends here received word today
that Nicholas Murphy, &C, of Toronto had
been retained by friends OF the prisoner in
England 10 defend him Burcheli himself.
