Rights accorded to the buffalo RE-
formers College Faculty

Manhattan. Kan, July 1I.-Thomas E.
Will. of this city. to whom has been Of
fered the presidency of the new College of
Social Science. which the Buffalo Reform
Conference decided to establish in Bos-
ton. said yesterday:
'The institution is to be founded pri-
marily on the principle of most absolute
liberty of belief. teaching. speaking. and
publication.
Too many institutions have curtailed
the right of their professors to speak their
minds, because of the effect 1t might have
on the income.
The new college will have in its fac
uIty several who have suffered from just
this sort of thing. Prof Edward W.
Bemis, who was dismissed from Chicago
University because of his advanced views
on political science, which he insisted on
/ expressing publicly. will be member OF
| the faculty. as win Prof. John r. Connors,
/ who was dismissed from the Syracuse Uni
yersity because of his opposition to trusts
and mOnopoliss.
/ As members of the faculty of the new
/ college these men will have absolute free
/ dom of expression, but the other side of
/ the questions will not be without hearing.
Z Railroads, trusts, bankers. anu W al
] Street corporations OF all kinds will be in
| vited to send representatives to present
| their views to the students. SO that both
: sides of all questions may be presented
fairly.
"Profs. Bemis and Connors will prob
/ ably conduct the department of investiga-
ton Prof Ward, of Manhattan, and Prof.
Frank Parsons, OF Boston, will assist in
the teaching and extension departments
1t is hoped to secure Willis J. Abbot TO
conduct the department of publicity, and
it is expected that Prof. George ID. Her
ron. the Rev. w. ID. p. Bliss, and other
socialists of national reputation will lee
ture under the auspices OF the institution
1t is not TO be inferred because most
OF the instructors are to be socialists that
the institution is to teach nothing but
socialism. All branches OF social science
are to be taught

KEPT IMMURED IN A PIT.
Inhuman Treatment of n Child by
His Degraded Mother

New York, July 11.-Immured in a mar
row, noisome cell, exposed to the ele-
ments, with only rag for raiment and
fed on crusts tossed TO him from window,
as to some animal in cage-such was the
fate from which Juan Gonzales, a wretched
lad of four years, was rescued yesterday.
The chiId's mother and three other women,
all bearing every evidence of moral and
physical degradation, were arrested and
arraigned before Magistrate Olmsted, in
the Jefferson Market police court. They
were sent to Blackwell's Island.
The mother calls herself Maria Garcia
Gonzales She is a small. dark featured
woman, twenty-five years old, who speaks
English fuently, but with a strong Span
ish accent. Like her companions her
clothing was dilapidated.
The four women were arrested on the
! ground floor of a ramshackle frame tene-
ment in the rear of No. 357 West Twenty
fifth Street, where they lived in two small
rooms. squalid and almost destitute of
| furniture.
The discovery of little Juan's fearful
condition and his rescue are due to Captain
Ross, of engine company No. 10, whose
! quarters are next door to the tenement.
In the rear of the tenement is a little en-
closure, bounded on two sides by walls
of the frame house. on the third side by
the blank rear wall of house in Twenty
sixth Street. and ON the fourth by the side
of a rear one-story extension of the en-
gine house. 1t is eight feet square, and
( from the top of the engine house wall
I about ten feet deep. On the three other
: sides the walls are high, making the bot
tom of the pit almost dark.
! II was in this hideous den that little
I Juan lived for year before he was dis
! covered by Captain Ross. Two months ago
/ the captain, happening to be on the
roof of the extension. glanced down into
/ the pit and was horrified to see there
a tiny lad, clad only in a garment that
/ barely reached to the hips. Hearing the
| exclamation of horror that broke from the
1 lips of the fireman, the child glanced up
/ and, uttering a shrill cry of terror, ran
/ across the den with an apelike gait and
cast himself face down in a corner.
| Thinking the child had been placed there
| only temporarily for punishment. the cap
! tain dismissed the matter from his mind
! A week later. happening to be once more
on the roof of the extension. he again saw
! the child. The little one was clad as be-
fore and was sitting on an old coal scuttle,
4 holding in his arms dead cat, to which he
! was grooming weird lullaby.
Enquiring among the neighbors, the cap
tain learned that the child had been in the
! den for year. and that, so far as could be
! discovered, he was never taken into the
house. even at night or In the most inclem-
! eHt weather.
Then Captain Ross determined to take
action. He notified the police and the So
| ciety for the Prevention CT Cruelty to
| Children. Detectives Schunn and Perkins
and Agent Fogarty watched the child for
two days. and then descended upon Mrs

Fritz Andrea. former sergeant, and VIII
liam H. Reeves. a former private of the

incendiary and untrue in nearly every
particular and likely to create a false i'm

in the Philippines.
II don't know who these men are, but
they deserve to be punished for their talk"
said General Anderson. They should be
put in jail until they are able to tell the
truth They are simply lying when they
say that our soldiers fight the Filipinos re-
luctantly. Such talk is outrageous, and
should not be permitted. 1 suppose these

sPAIN's EXPORT TRADE.
1t Is Not Affected by the Loss of Her
Colonies.

London, July 1.-THE British consul at
Barcelona, in his annual report, says that
Spain's average exports amount to TIA. 1874. :
446 pesetas annually. The exports to the
Antilles and the Philippines are 1856. .243. .712
pesetas, and having the same netry rights
as the United States. Spain will not feel
the loss of her colonies for the present at
least.
The inhabltantS of the islands speak
Spanish and Catalan. and the Spanish
manufacturers know their requirements
besides having the cheapest labor. Hence
it is said, Spain will keep her trade pre-
dominance in her lost colonies for many
years.
