STRANGE DIsAPPEARANCE.-Mrs.A An
ME Marshall, wife of Mr.. John Mar
shall, track foreman of the Washing
ton Southern Railway, disappeared
from her home on Queen street, be.
tween Payne and West. on Friday
night last under singular circumstances,
and some alarm is felt for her safety by
her family and friends. She left her
bed on Friday night about 11:30
o'clock, telling her husband she could
not sleep and would 60 down stairs.
She dressed and left the room. Her
husband from a window saw her going
rapidly down Queen street, and
started for his clothing to dress
and follow her, but she had hid
den his clothes and he lost some
time in finding them. AS quickly as
possible he dressed and went out, but
though he went all around the neigh
borhood hunting for her he was un-
successful in finding her. Her
relatives living in Fairfax county
have been telegraphed to, but she
has not been seen by them.
Mr.. Marshall, the husband of the miss
ing woman, repudiates the suggestion
of suicide, but the other members of
the family are greatly alarmed, fearing
that she has either made way with her
self, or has wandered off and met with
some accident. When Mrs. Marshall
left home she took nothing with
her except small bundle of
unfinished clothing. She had but
little money, and neither of the
ticket agents in this city recollect sell.
ing a woman of her description q ticket
to any point on their roads. Mrs. Mar
shall lett home under strange circum-
stances on a former occasion. She is
about fifty years old. Of late her men
tai powers have been waning. Her
husband will leave here this evening
on the 4::25 Quantico accommodation
train in hopes of finding his wife some
where down the road, as she had said
recently that she would visit her re-
latives in that neighborhood ifshe had
to make the journey on foot.

A Question for Mr.. Baynrd.

From the New York Herald.
1t was a compliment to Mr.. Bayard to
ask him to deliver the opening address be-
fore the Edinburgh Philosophical institute
Mr. Lowell was asked in his time, and the
position is a distinguished one which only
distinguished men are invited to fill. Mr.
Bayard delivered an Grafton of which the
London press speaks handsomely. But in
the course of it he said this:
in my own country l have witnessed the
Unsuitable growth of a form of socialism
styled protection, which has done more to
corrupt public life, to Danish men of indie
pendent mind from public councils, to blunt
the public conscience and to lower the tone
of national representation than any other
single cause
Now, without saying word in favor of
protection, it is still desirable to ask
whether this denunciaton Of it comes fifty
from an American ambassador in England.
He is there as the ambassador, not of free
traders, not of the democratic party, not
even of democratic administration. bat
of the United States. Protection, mistaken
policy though it be, is the policy of a grea
party which represents half of the people
Of the United States Is it, then, for the
American ambassador to announce in Eng
land that half the American people are
welded to a policy which is corrupt and
ccrrupting? To say it at home is one thing;
to say it abroad is another, and for an am
bassador to say it is to use his great Office
to disparage in the view of England the
country he represents.

Needs of the Police.

Major Moore's annual report as chief OF
the District police is not bit too generous
In its estimate for increased appropriations
for the coming fiscal year. He asks for
more men because it is plain that there
are today not enough to properly control the
streets and avenues of the city and the
suburban sections. The police force has
not kept pace in size with the growth
of the city and the exceptional spread OF
suburban interests, which should be guarded
quite as carefully as those in the more
thickly populated neighborhoods. 1t would
be a mistaken policy If Congress should fol-
low the ancient rule of a decrease of this
estimate for the mere sake of appearances
as Major Moore is evidently not estimating
with this in view but is hewing to the line
In his calculations. 1t should not be for
gotten by the legislators that the great
value Of property belonging to the gov
eminent. while 1t may be directly under the
charge Of a separate corps of watchmen,
creates an exceptional duty and RESPONSE
htlity for the police force. the members of
