BALTIMORE, February 22.-The Rev. DIR.
Thomas S. Childs OF Washington, has ex-
planned to correspondent of the American
OF this city why he withdrew from the Pres
byterian church and asks to be received into
the Protestant Episcopal church in the dio-
cese of Maryland.
Mr.. Childs says: "There two tendencies

OF the future. l hold as satisfactory the
basis OF Christian union proposed by the
House Of Bishops of the American Episco-
pal church and revised by the Lambeth Con-
ference. The first three terms-the Scrip

to SEE why there should be any more diff sui
ties with the historic epscopate Calvin ad-
mitted it: the best historic scholarship of
our age admits it. The House of Bishops
made their deliverance intelligently and
honestly. They do not ask us to accept any
particular theory of the episcopate. They
ask us to accept the fact; and there is the
fact, whether we accept it or not. We are
unable to see simpler basis of uni than

FOUND HER BABY ROASTED.
Mrs. sorst's Horrible Discovery on
Returning from the Grocery.

NEW YORK, February 22.-Mrs. A. Borst,
living in fiat at 1448 Park avenue, strapped
her five months old baby Emily in little
rocking chair yesterday. before going to the
grocery. and told her other children, Walter,
aged 4, and Alvina, aged 5, to look after
their little sister and amuse her. She then
went out, locking the door. During her ab-
sence Walter climbed on a chair to the man
tel over the kitchen range, where box of
matches lay, and pl ocured some. Then he
lighted piece of paper and ran into the
dining room to show it to Emily. The little
girl was delighted, but Walter found his fin
gers getting scorched and dropped the burn
ing paper on Emily's lap. In an instant her
dress was ablaze. The other two children
were frightened out of their wits when they
saw their sister on fire and heard her screams
and they crawled un1er bed, leaving her at
the mercy of the fire. In about ten minutes
Mrs. Borst. returned, and as soon as she
opened the door she saw. her baby smolder-
ing. She shrieked and ran into the kitchen,
where she got water and poured it over her
child, but the little girl was already dead
and burned nearly to a crisp. The mother
was frantic with grief, and missing her other
children thought some one had stolen them.
She found them hiding under the bed, whence
they were with difficulty coaxed. Alvina

POVERTY STRICKEN VIRGINIA.
Too Poor To Pension a Blind Man
Vino Fought for Her.

RICHMOND, Va. February 22.-The wife
of General A. l.. Long, the blind Confederate
officer who is petitioning the Virginia legis-
lature to allow him an annual pension of
$685. Is in the city today. The lady, who is
the daughter OF General Sumner, a distin-
guished Federal officer, is now and has been
for some years past the postmistreSs of the
town OF Charlottesville, in this state. Soon
after Arthur became President, Malone
made determined but unsuccessful effort to
secure Mrs. Longs position for Jealous
henchman. Such howl was raised against
this attempt to oHst lady, and the wife of a
blind and gallant ex-Confederate, that she
was not removed.
During President Cleveland's administra-
tion some Democrat, it is said, was equally
unsuccessful in his efforts to procure the
Charlottesville postmastership for political
friend. Notwithstanding the experience Of
the politicians with Mr.. Harrison's two pre-
decessors, an effort has been recently made
by an office-seeking Republican to secure
Mrs. Longs place. 1t Is understood though
that this brilliant lady has again been vic
torious, and for the third time has vanquish-
ed those Of the other sex who have been un-
gallant enough to seek her removal Mrs.
Long is lady of rare culture, and, it Is said,
has made a splendid officer Her salary Is
probably about $1,000 year.
A member of the legislative finance COM
mittee says that body would gladly allow the
pension to General Long IL they could, but
the financial condition Of Virginia will not
admit Of such thing.

WORK FOR CANADIAN CRUISERS
Looking After Canadian Wreckers
Instead of Yankee Fishermen.

OTTAWA, February 22.-The report of the
minister Of marine and fisheries contains an
extraordinary story, which indicates that
the wrecker still exists and plies his calling
along the shores of the Gulf of st. Lawrence.
In the fall of last year the steamship Mon
treal went. ashore on the desolate rocks of
Belle Isle. Fl. NJ. S. Emerald came along,
and the reply of the master of the Montreal
led the captain of the Emerald to believe
that his services were not required, and he
steamed away. The following day some
wreckers boarded the vessel and plundered
her. Later on they came into the cove with
their sch0Oners and anchored, then made
their boat fast alongside Of the steamer and
swarmed on board in large numbers. They
intimidated the crew. stole the deck fittings,
sails and gear, and with hatchets anu crow
bars destroyed large portion of the decks
in their endeavor to get at the cattle and
sheep.
Ropes were put down the opening and va
ri0us articles Of the cargo were secured and
removed from the steamer. The cattle and
sheep, which had previously been landed,
were hunted about the island, caught and
killed. the carcasses dragged down the cliffs,
where boats were in readiness to receive
them.
Similar scenes have occurred whenever
vessels have been lost in the straits of Belle
Isle, either upon the Labrador or Newfound-
land coast
The commissioner who investigated the
matter states that il is very difficult to dis
cover and punish these pirates, but some at
tempts to do so will be made.

THE SOCIALIST VOTE.
1t Greatly Surprises the Young Em-
peror OF the Germans.

BERLIN, February 22.-The result of the
German Parliamentary elections has as
founded tie Emperor and abundantly justi-
fed the opposition Of Prince Bismarck to the
practical application of the ideas of state So
cialism entertained by his imperial master.
In view Of the remarkable strength shown
by the Socialists at the polls it must be as
sumed that the number Of the people of Ger
many who prefer Democratic Socialism to
Imperial Socialism is greater than the En-
peror had believed, and also that the num-
Der must largely increase in the near future
through the enthusiastic agitation of the VIC
torious Democratic leaders. The Socialists
are wild with joy at their successes, and con-
gratulations are pouring in upon them from
every country in Europe. Comparatively
little disorder has been observable in any
part OF Germany, fact which is due in
great measure to the advice of the Socialist
leaders.
LONDON, February 23.-rhe Berlin cores

have secured 81 seats in the Reichstag.
BERLIN, February 23.-The Cartel parties

The Abducted Student Returns-Bad
Conduct OF the Freshmen.

ITHACA, N. Y, February 22-The lost is
found. The missing student. E. P. Chaplin,
of the Freshman class at Cornell. turned up
safe and sound this morning. Chaplin is a
pleasant looking, well-fed youth of medium
height, florid complexion, and wears a light
mustache. He carries a paper with him
which he hands to the inquisitiye visitor,
which reads: II hereby swear not to reveal
any particulars of my appearance
to any person whatsoever except at the bid
ding OF the person holding the duplicate of
this OATH"
The duplicate is held by the ringleader Of
the Sophomores who abducted him. He po-
lltely declined to reveal any particulars con-
cerning his capture lest fellow students
should be implicated. He says that since his
disappearance on Tuesday. which was a plan
that had been carefully arranged for three
weeks, he had been treated handsomely and
had nothing to complain of. Books had been
furnished him, and none of his studies had
been neglected. He was In private family

is his earnest wish, will sink from his un-
pleasant notorlety. He said he greatly re-
gretteu tnat his capture had provoked his
classmen to attack the Sophomores so rough
ly today. His sole hope was that the banquet
should be a success and that all implicated
with his disappearance should come out all
right
The faculty have had two meetings, and
their policy will be to keep very quiet and
let the particulars escape gradually. They
had determined to punish the kidnappers,
but now that Chaplin has been released may
let the whole affair blow over.
The Freshmen are very much wrought up
by the whole affair, and their ill-feeling to-
ward the Sophomores eliminated this after

mores as they were preparing take the train

LOOKING TO THE STARS and STRIPES.
The American Flag Waves In the

Significance of the Question of the
Language In Canada.
Bismarck, the Socialists and the
Young Emperor of Germany.

OTTAWA, Ont, February 22.-The action
of the House of Commons last night in refer
ring the question of the official language of
the Northwest Territory to a vote of the
people there disposes for the present Of a
vexed question but it will be heard from
again. for the significance of the measure is
that the new Anglo-Saxon party declares
that this is only first step, preliminary to
an attack on all the privileges Of the French
race, language and religion in Canada. The
ffty-dve French members of the House are
in arms against the crusade. The whole
question Of Canada's future has been thresh-
ed out. and the possibility Of annexation to
the United States as cure for all evils is
frequently mentioned.
The language ofM Bechard last tnight may
be quoted. "If," said he, "this bill should
succeed, this country would be thrown into
civil war. We would then be placed in a
position wherein we must choose between
submitting to the annihilation of the race
and all those institutions that are dear to
our hearts, or standing up like men in their
defense. We would have to appeal to our
courage and to the protection Of the British
flag. Should this be found to be powerless
70 ose us any then there VIII be
our eyes toward the Stars and Stripes, which
will, believe, offer to us full protection
against the rage Of our enemies"
Sir Hector Langevin declared that those
who attacked the French language would
have to deal not only with the million and
half French Of Canada, but with another
million and half in the United States.
Mr.. Charlton pointed to the United States
as a great country, Of one Ian
guage and one national school system,
and In the following language outlined
Said he: ALREADY the second power in the
world is the republic to the south of US.
The greatest Of Briton's colonies is the one
of thsse two countries, is increasing
in a ratio which almost dazzles the
imagination. Well, sir, this Anglo-Saxon
may be somewhat aggressive, but his pur-
pose is nevertheless benefcent one. 1t Is
his fixed determination that assimilation and
homogenity shall be the Characteristic of
every acre of the land over which he bears
sway.
"That is his fixed intention, and whether
he can accomplish it or not / am unable to
say but that he expects to occupy this con-
tinent from the Arctic Ocean to the Isthmus
Of Panama, there is no doubt. My honoIa-
BILE friend asks what he will do With Mexico.
He will do with Mexico just what he did
with the French in Louisiana and the Span
iards in California. BE will say to them,
Here are the institutions and the rights of
citizens. take them and there is no right be-
longing to an American citizen that will be
ALL"
The French of Canada, he added, were
destined to be engulfed in this assimilating
maelstrOm
