A CONNECTICUT BABY FARM.
The Place Was Started by Former Mission
ary OF Hartford Mission Association.

Hartford, CT, Dec. 20.-At a special
meeting of the state board of charities
today, Secretary Whittlesey presented a
detailed report of a baby farm that he had
recently discovered at North Canaan,
about a mile from the Massachusetts, line
The place is an old farmhouse, known as
Maplewood farm, occupied by Abel
Stevens and wife. 1t is in an isolated
situation.
According to the story Mr.. Stevens told
Secretary Whittlesey that they We're
started in the business of farming illegiti-
mate children about 13 years ago by Mrs.
Virginia T. Smith, former missionary
of the City Mission Association of this
city. Mrs. Smith availed herself of its
advantages for placing number of un-
fortunate mothers and babies since that
time
The farm came to light through the
selectmen of Vernon finding girl named
Louisa Long Ehrler, who lives with her
grandmother, about to become a mother
and public charge. This girl was sent
to the Connecticut Industrial school for
girls when years old.
In 1890 she was taken from the Tolland
county temporary home by Mrs. Smith
and became a servant at her home in this
city. There she became enciente by Mrs.
Smiths hired man, John Cooney, 60 years
old She was sent to Maplewod farm
where she gave birth to child which in
six months was given to Christian Ell
niger, New Britain.
She remained at Maplewood two years
longer until last October when she was
sent to her grandmother in Rockville be
ing again about to become a mother
The girl told the Rockville authorities
that the father of this second child is
Willie Baldwin, a 14-yearold boy en-
ployed by Abel Steven. The boy confirms
the girls story.
The investigation conducted by the state
board of charities shows that children
were received at the Stevens place from
all parts of the state and Massachusetts
and young girls had been taken there to
have children. There are six children in
the house at the present time, five from
towns in the state and one from Massa-
chusetts. Mrs. Smith placed a great many
children at Stevens house, paying as a
rule So q week for their board.

uNKERING cARLISLE'S BILL.
to Be Bunched and Offered as a
Substitute Bill.

Washington, Dec 20.--Mr. Springer of
Illinois, who has charge of the banking
bill in the House, had conference, this
morning, with Secretary Carlisle, regard
ing the criticisms made by the opponents
of the measure As result of the con-
ference. several amendments were aged
upon which Mr.. Springer believes will
meet some of these objections. The
Carlisle bill, for example, limits TO 20 per
cent. of the capital stock the circulation
which can be taken out under it, Under
the seventh section of the bill, it is claimed
by some members that certain banks hav-
ing more than 70 per cent. circulation,
would be permitted to take out circula-
tion to the full amount of 80 per cent OF
the capital stock, instead of 20 per cent.
This apparent but not real conflict, Mr..
Sprinoer explains, will be remedied so
that there will be no confusion, and II any
hank has such an excess il will be re
ouired to retire it by depositing green
backs for payment in the manner now re
ouired by law for retiring the circulation.
IL is believed that the amendments agreed
upon by Springer and Carlisle, today, as
well as Others that Mr.. Springer announced
his purpose of offering, and such as the
Democratic majority committee may deem
necessary to perfect the bill, will be
combined with those portions of the bill
which now meet approval and he offered
ms substitute for the Carlisle bill to
avoid the tedious delay which would re-
sult from their consideration as separate
propositions.

THE WAR ABOUT OVER.
The Emperor Of China Hastens His
Commissioners to Japan,
With AbsuIu.e Power. II Is Said. to Put an End
to All Hostilities.

London, Dec 2o.-Important dispatches
were received, tonight, indicating clearly
that practically the war between China
and Japan is ended. Whatever the in
structions conveyed to the commanders of
the respective military and naval forces
from the governing powers of the two
empires is not told in the advioes, but as
surances are given in quar-
tiers known to be thoroughly cogui-
zant of diplomatic affairs, that the
Emperor of China has been prevailed
upon to hasten the commissioners to Japan
and these ENJOYS have such power Of con
cession as will, without doubt. enable
them to bring about an immediate and
thorough end of hostilities.
The details of their authority are not
given but the presumption is not ignored
in diplomatic quarters that the conccs-
sions asked by the Japanese government
have met with the acquiesencc of the
reigning powers of China

LEGATIONS NOW GUARDED.
The Chinese Authorities Grant Passports 10
Foreigners for Their Guards.

London, Dec. 20.-A dispatch from
Tien Tsin To the Central News says that
Prince Ching. President Of Tsunli famen,
is wholly to blame for the refusal of tho
government TO issue passports to foreign
guards to proceed TO Pokin toprotcct their
respective legations.
The protests of the various foreign rep
rcscntatives against this action, resulted
in dissensions in the Imperial council,
and Prince Ching has been granted two
days leave Of absence ON the plea OF Ill
health. 1t is probable that he will resign

to the British legation passes for 90 men,
