Later in Washington.

According TO dispatches received here
yesterday from Boston, the Ormsby
abduction case has been amlcably settled.
After a consultation between George
Ormsby and Mrs. Amy L. Ormsby. both
Of Washington, an agreement was reached
whereby the kidnapped child, Woodbury.
Ormsby was given back to mis- mother.
The child. secured by his father. dis
appeared mysteriously from this city three
weeks ago ana was located at Boston
June 80. Mrs. Ormsby who was divorced
from her husband in September. left
Washington for the Hub on July /, and
began legal proceedings 10 regain possess
sion Of the boy.
II is understood that the agreement pro-
vides that the boy shall live with is
mother at East Aurora. Va The estranged
father and mother are said 10 have left
Boston for that place yesterday. The
abduction case against Ormsby, It is said,
may be continued here later by the United
States attorney.
The case has attracted widespread in

will undoubtedly make the trial in this
city more sensational tina nthe proceed

MEANS MUCH TO CATHOLICS.
American Church No Longer Under
Direction of the Propaganda.

BY direct order Of Pope Plus Y. the
United States. Great Britain. Holland
Canada, and Ireland. have been removed
from the jurisdiction OF the propaganda
and are no longer to be considered as
missionary countries.
Much pleasure was expressed among the
Catholic clergy yesterday at this wide
departure in the church government
Heretofore the hierarchy Of America has
been under the supervision Of the congre-
cation Of the propaganda, composed OF
eighteen cardinals at Rome, all the affairs
Of the churches here being first discussed
by the cardinals and then referred to the
Pope for final disposition
The Pope's recent action is regarded as
a momentous one. and will mean import
ant changes in the disciplinary laws Of
the church in this country, the affairs Of
which will hereafter come directly under
the supervision of Cardinal Merry Del
Val, papal secretary of state The new
arrangement viii simplify. to a great ex-
tent, the naming Of bishops and other
prelates. Candidates names will not have
TO be reviewed by the multiplicity OF car
dinals.
The change is taken 10 indicate that
the great growth of the Catholic Church
in America In recent years has entitled II
to be raised TO the plane within the &C.
clesiastical organization that is now occu-
pied by countries that have been strongly
Catholic for centuries.
