Some Signs of Progress In

Encouraging Reports Are Reaching the Leaders
OF the Movement, According to Bulletin
Issued by the Executive Secretary.

The commission Of the Protestant Epis-
copaI Church on the World Conference
on Faith and Order has just received
notice of the appointment OF a commits
sion by the Church Of ireland.

message OF the General Convention and
beg to express by heartfelt desire for
the speedy union OF all Gcd's church

The National Council of Congressional
Churches, which met in Kansas City, was
greeted at the opening Of its session by
a message OF fraternal greeting from
the convention of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church assembled in New York. A
most cordial message was received by
the convention Of the Episcopal Church
from the Congregational Council in re-
ply.
An evidence of the deepening desire
for Christian unity, and Of the recogni-
tion OF the only power by which It can be
brought about. Is seen in the increasing
efforts for public and private prayer.

quiet reigned in the ships saloon.
The night was dark but the weather
was clear, and after passing Cape Cod
| Capt. WiIlett retired to his room, leav-
1 ing the ship in charge of Chief Mate
| Charles Johnson. The second engineer,
Owen Shaffer, was OH duty in the en-
gine room.
Engineer Shot Down.
About % a. m. Johnson was walking
along the deck from the pilot-house to-
ward the pantry. to get lunch. when ne
saw several figures running forward. At
that moment Shaffer emerged from the
engine room door. AS he did so several
shots were fired at him and he fell, with
bullet through his head.
As Johnson leaned over the PROSTATE
form of the engineer he received two
shots, one in the arm and one in the
knee. .E
The shooting had aroused Capt. Will
lett, who came running forward amid
a rain of bullets. Not being hit. he made
for the pilot house. AS he reached the
steps he was seized from behind. He
was quickly bound and borne to his
room, where an armed man stood guard
over him.
The shooting had now ceased. Two
officers had been wounded-James John
son, the chief engineer, and the mate
and one, the second engineer, was dead.
The other members Of the crew Of fif-
teen had surrendered.
A piece of iron was tied to the body
of Shaffer and it was thrown into the
sea.
Before daylight the vessels course was
changed, and later in the day Capt Will
lett saw from his window that the
Chesapeake was steaming along the
Maine coast east of Portland.
On December s the Chesapeake put in
at Seal Cove Harbor, Grand Manan
Island. and Capt" Braine went ashore.
On his return the steamer was headed
for the st. John River. Her coal was now
nearly gone.
on Dipper Harbor, about twelve miles
below St. John, the ensign was hoisted
union down, to attract the attention of
a pilot boat that was waiting for the
steamer.
The boat came alongside, and Capt
Parker climbed from her deck over the
rail Of the Chesapeake. He. reported to

1 men were found on board. The others
had landed and disappeared in the
woods. A third man was found on the
schooner.
The Ella and Annie was towing the
Chesapeake cut of the haTbor when the
u. S. S. Dacotah appeared. Her COM
mander, being the senior officer present,
ordered the steamer taken to Halifax.
Here the vessel and three prisoners were
turned over TO the authoritis.
The prisoners were released and imme-
diately decamped.
Vessel Returned to Owners.
The provincial authorities were much
Incensed by the apparent violation Of
neutrality attending the seizure Of the
Chesapeake in a British port. The
United States naval officers made the
point that they were succoring a United
States vessel in distress.
The AFFAIR caused some friction, but
on February 25 the vessel was ordered
by 4 Canadian court to be surrendered
to her owners
Meanwhile three OF the Adventures
were apprehended at st. John. The
United States demanded them as pirates.
Agents Of the Confederacy sent TO Rich
mond to secure commissions for the lead
ers, to show that they were Confederate
officers.
The Confederacy ordered Mr.. Holcomb
to proceed to st. John and lay claim to
the steamer. which, with her cargo was
worth nearly 100000. Before he could
reach Halifax, via Bermuda, the Chesa-
peake had been released and the men
held at st. John liberated on a writ Of

ligious bodies there.
A clergyman Of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church in Rhode Island has suggest
ed weekday. evening prayer meetings for
unity. Doubtless many such meetings
are being held. lady in England has
suggested the formation of prayer circles.
Perhaps other efforts of the same kind
can be made elsewhere
At the meeting held November Ie, OF
the advisory committee, with the executive
committee, Of the commission of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, the follow
ing resolutions were passed:
That a suggestion be made to each
commission to consider the advisability
and feasibility OF raising a fund from
among its constituents, OF such amount
as it may deem proper for the carrying
on of its own work.
That contributors to any such fund
should be advised that each commission
will feel at liberty to make appropria-
tions to a joint fund in case occasion
arises.
That the time has come to begin the
consideration of the steps to be taken
before the topics for consideration by the
conference can wisely be formulated.
That each member OF the advisory COM
mittee should recommend TO the commits
sion Of his communion the immediate
OF how the following ques-
tions should be answered:
"(a) What should be the nature Of the
bodies or groups which are finally to be
charged with the duty OF formulating
topics for the conference?
"Cb) What can be done by each COM
in the way Of preparing a state
ment OF the topics which that commits
sion thinks Appropriate for ultimate con-
sideration at the conference?
That the statements prepared by each

blockade into Wilmington. n. c
This part of the plan was to be frus-
trated by the recapture of the vessel
in Nova Scotian port.
The plan was one of the boldest of its
kind put into execution in the course
Of the war. 1t was without the sanction
Of the Confederate government, and
therefore came under the head OF
piracy The men who conceived it were
soldiers of fortune, who had served
the Confederacy. but who al the time
Of this affair held no commissions from

Before the incident was ended the
Confederate secretary of state. Judah
p. Benjamin. instructed a special COM
missioner Hon. J. P. Colcomb, who
was sent to Canada for the purpose. to
claim the ship as a legal prize of the
Confederate States, captured by an ad-
missabIe strategem in the due course
Of war.
The recapture of the vessel in Nova
Scotian waters by a United States YES
sci raised a question of the violation OF
England's neutrality. The case excited
much interest, but was finally amicably
settled by the return of the Chesapeake
to her owners.
On Board as Passengers.
The Chesapeake, a screw steamer of
$50 tons. had once before figured in an
incident of war, having been used by
the authorities at Portland, Me, to cap
ture Lieut.. Charles Read, C. S. N, and
his party when they ''Cut OUT the rev.
enue cutter Caleb Gushing on June q,
1868.
The captors Of the steamer were in no
way connected with Read, but the orig
inator of the plot TO seize her had been
a prisoner Of war in Fort Warren, Bos-
ton Harbor where Read was confined,
and knowledge of the character of the
vessel undoubtedly was obtained by
him while there.
This man, known as Capt. John Par
ker-though his name was LOclIe-had
been captain OF 4 Confederate priVateer,
the schooner RetribUtion. His vessel
was condemned as Unseaworthy in the
