GALL SOUNDS FOR MIgalONS Episcopal Conference Finds Need of Active Work. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 7.—The Epis- copal Missionary Conference came to an end to-night. In the opinion of prominent divines it has brought out distinctly the following things: The Episcopal Church has a call to mis- slon work in Latin American lands; it sadly needs young men for mission work both at home and abroad; its present sup- ply of funds for prosecuting its mission work and for entering upon its larger op- portunities is inadequate; the laity and even some of the bishops and clergy are responsible for the apathy which prevails throughout the church toward missions; the church at large needs a revival, a fresh baptism of the holy spirit and sys- tematic instruction in order that zeal for missionary work may. be aroused, stimu- lated and sustained; the men of the| church should be systematically organized for the purpose of coming to the aid of the | missionary cause and sharing the burdens which have so long devolved upon the women and children. The Right Rev. Peter T. Howe, bishop of Alaska, sald: “We sadly need money for schools and for helpers. e are the only denomina- tion in Alaska that trains the natives to help us in our mission work. We have | three hospitals in Alaska. We want to| build more, especially -one at Cape Nome. | Our native schools could be planted every- where, but we have not the money to plant them."

Murder May Have Been Done and the Police Will Investigate. ALAMEDA, Dec. 7.—Lashed fast with & plece of sash cord to a section of terra cotta sewer pipe, the dead body of a baby girl, apparently about two months old, was discovered this afterncon by Fred Johnson of the sloop Gazelle, tied up at the Walnut-strest wharf on the estuary. Johnson first observed the remains from the deck of his boat yesterday as they were being washed about by the action of the tide In the shallow water near the shore, but says he paid little attention ta them, as he then thought they wers those of a drowned pup. To-day the body drift- ed In nearer to the Gazelle and Johnson discerned that the object he first believed was a dead canine was the corpse of an infant. With the assistance of two boys the little body was taken from the water and Deputy Coroner James Fowler waas notified of the find by Wharfinger Ollle are Ol Zingg. There was no clothing the body by which it eou]? w neither were there any external of violence noticeable. The remains thoss of a perfectly developed child. The cord which bound the body to the sewer pipe was tightly wrapped several times around the dead infant’s breast. D’Ia.g;ny Coroner Fowler sald: s case appears very mysterious ta me, and as there might have been mur- der done I reported the matter to Chief of Police John Conrad, who intends to maks an investigation. 1 could detect no n{: of violence on the body and whether the little one died and was thrown into the estuary or was tossed drowned it is difficult to say. judge that the remains are those of a child from six weeks to two months of age. If it was an instance where a child died and its parents were too poor to bury it, I think it would have been more likely for them to have Interred it secret- ly, rather than have it sink in the estu- ary. 1 have communicated with Coroner Mehrmann and it is very probable that an autopsy will be ordered to determine the cause of death. I am of the opinion that the body was in the water about three days.” TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Frank A.
