BABIES GETTING SCARCE.
Episcopal Bishop of Indiana Sounds
Note of Alarm.

Episcopal Bishop Francis of the do
cese Of Indiana declares that the short
age of babies in the church is alarm
ing, and that the homes of wealthier
members of the church in Indiana
have an average of only about one
child to the family.
Women in the finer homes OF the
country do not want babies nowadays" &"
said the bishop tonight. We have a
constantly increasing number of adult
baptisms, but the baptism of infants
is decreasing. This is not because
they do not have their babies baptized,
but because there are fewer babies.
The Living Church Annual" the
Episcopal almanac for the year. just
published, shows how alarming is this
shortage OF babies in the church. The
number Of baptisms of infants has de-
creased so per cent in fourteen years
This is in the face of an increase Of
communicates.
Not only is there shortage of
babies in our church, but all over the
land, in the wealthiest homes. 1t ap-
pears like a repetition of the career

EVENTS in WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
Chinese Treaty Ratified.

Ihe Senate in executive session raG-
fed the treaty for the extension of the
commercial relations between the
United States and China, and then re-
moved the injunction of secrecy. No
opposition was manifested by any SEN
ator to the treaty. although Mr.. Mel
son, Republican, OF Minnesota, made a
long speech in which he criticised the
convention as making insufficient pro-
vision for the trade of the United
States. He said it indicated that the
hand of Russia had been shown against
this country. making 1t impossible for
the United States to receive the con-
cessions needed in the way of open
ports. He said that the ports of Muk-
den and Antung, which are opened un-
der the treaty, are in fact inland ports,
accessible only to vessels of light
draft. He blamed Russia for this con-
ditior of affairs, and warned the SEN
nte<hat we may yet have trouble with
s..dt country over the Manchurian
question, which he said had been re-
sponsible for the inability of the Unit
ed States plenipotentiaries to obtain
the opening Of other important ports
under more favorable conditions.
VIE attitude taken by Mr.. Nelson
as Upheld in speeches by a number
other senators, although it was
rgued at the same time that this
-reaty is an entering wedge to our
trade and that it was the best China
was able to do under Russian duress.
Mr.. Lodge urged the Importance of
having the treaty ratified and said that
the State Department considered i'm
mediate action as essential. He de-
clared that the ratification probably
would have bearing on the settle
n,ent of the far Eastern question. Sen
ators Morgan, Cullom. Spooner and a
number OF others agreed with Mr.
Lodge
1t was stated by some Of the speak
ers that II Russia had objected to the
treaty it had not been apparent, and
on the contrary it was said that she
had openly expressed her approval of
it. There was no division on the mo-
ton to ratify.
The secretary of war has deter
mined to take no further action toward
the utterances of Major General Mac
Arthur in Honolulu recently in which
he is alleged to have predicted war
between the United States and Ger
many. In cablegram to the depart
ment General Macarthur explains that

Secretary Roots Letter.

The letter of Secretary Root to
Senator Proctor, acting chairman of
the committee on military affairs, dat
ed November 18th last, giving resume
of the military record of Gen. Leonard
Wood and stating the chief considera-
tions which led to his nomination as
a major general, has been made pub
lie. After quoting from remarks com
mandatory to General Wood, made by
Generals Miles, Lawton, Graham and
Forsythe. the letter recites that upon
these and similar evidences of fitness
President Mckinley appointed Cap
tain Wood colonel of the First Volun-
teer cavalry in May, 1898"
The secretary also quotes from the
concentrations of Generals Young,
Wheeler, Sumner and Shafter on Cen
eral Woods conduct in the Santiago
compaign, and says General Woods
appointment as commander of the San
tiago province appears to have been
based upon statement made by Gen
eral Shafter in dispatch to the de-
partment in which he said he thought
General Wood by far the best man to
leave in command of Santiago"
The secretary reviews General
Woods subsequent military career, say
Ing in this connection:
THE high estimate put by the
i Secretary of War upon General Woods
services as military governor is shown
in the published orders of the War
Department" referring to the general
orders of March 20, 1903, and July T.,
1902, which have heretofore been pub
lished. The secretary adds that the
opinions expressed in those orders also

Terms Of Friar Purchase.

Governor Taft informs the War De-
partment that an agreement has been
reached for the sale of the friar lands.
1t is in contemplation to sell the land
for the benefit OF the Filipinos them
selves, for the money will go into their
own treasury. Payment will be made
by bonds. either turned over directly
to the friars, or sold by the Philip
pine government at the best price OBJ
tainable. the proceeds being given to
the orders. The lands are to be sold
as far as possible to the tenants who
live upon them now, and on longtime
payments, at very moderate rate of
Interest on the deferred payments.
The main purpose is to create the
greatest possible number of landlords
in the Philippines, for it is believed
such a body would be a strong con-
servitor of peace and do much to dis
courage future revolutionary move
ments.
The question of the withdrawal of
the friars has, it is said at the War
Department, practically settled itself.
or the immense body of friars in the
islands at the outbreak of the war,
only 200 are said to have remained,
and nearly all of these are at Manila.
Even II a few remain, it is felt that
their power to further embarrass the
future relations of the government and
people in the Philippines has disap-
peared.
1t Is not doubted that the President
and Secretary Root will approve Gov
ernor Taft's arrangement, particularly
as it appears that the people of the
United States are not to be charged
with any of the money required to buy
the friar lands.
