I inclose herewith a memorandum in which the circumstances which have induced this government to ask those of other nations to join inthe proposed interna- tonal sanitary conference are set forth, and which concludes with a statement of the specific Gegnosinions which the President Would cCesire to submit to tae confer- ence. In view of the urgent necessity which, according to the experience of this government, exists for prompt action in reference to this matter, I have to instruct you to Jose no time in calitug the attention of the government of to this subject, by trans- initting for its information a copy of the memo- randum above mentioned, and by asking it at the same time to take into consideration the ex- pediency of holding a conference of the char- acter proposed, and requesting it to commu- nicate its views on the subject to this govern- ment at as early a date as may be conventent. You may add that it 1s peo by the President that such delegates as may be appointed by the Several powers to attend the proposed ¢onter- ence should be authorized to conclude, it deemed. expedient upon consultation, an international convention, relation to any proper subjects for international sanitary regulations to be pro- Posed for the consideration ot the governments interested. In order that the proposed confer- ence, ifagreed to by the several foreign govern- ments Interested in the subject, may be held at as early a period a8 practicable, the President deems it expedient to suggest the first day of January, 1Ss1, as a suitable date for the assem- bling of the conference in the city of Washing- ton.

The state firemen’s cor- vention 1s in session here with delegates from every section, and the principal streets are spanned with evergreen arches, the sidewalks are nearly covered with smaller arches, and the faces of the bulldings are profusely decorated With bunting and flags. day emblems of mourning will be thickly interspersed. Chief Morris had been exceedingly nervous for weeks in anticipation of the great gathering of fire- men, and his triends have feared that the strain had effected his mind for several days past. He felt the weight of his responsibility so keenly that it unquestionably unbalanced his mind, and at two a.m. he arose and stepped into the closet at his rooms and nearly severed his head from bis shoulders with a razor. He was serving his seventh term as chief. He was about 3S years old and unusually popular. The commit- tee of arrangements has decided to go on with eee maton; many companies being en route ither.

The arrest of Brockway, the famous forger, in Providence, R. L, as mentioned in THE Srax yesterday, has resulted in establishing the fact that he was in Baltimore at the time of the bank forgeries, and managed the whole affair. The Baltimore Sux of this morning says :—The interest In the recent forgeries on Baltimore banks, which, owing to the tardy proceedings in the case of Bell, now before the supreme court of New York, seemed dging out, is revived by the arrest in Providence, lt. L,on Monday, ot Chas. O. Brockway, the notorious forger, and several companions or accomplices, for forgery on the Fourth National bank ef that city. Brock- way is said to be the most expert and danger- ous forgerin the country, if not in the world. Hes sald to have managed all the bank for- feries in this country for years, receivin, ion share of the spoils. He completed two years ago a six years’ sentence in Auburn. Nearly every kank in New York has been victimized by him, but his operations have extended all over the country. His most recent effort was the successful forgery on the Third National and National Mechanics’ banks of this city, which netted over $10,000, for which George Bell is now held in New York awatting the decision of Judge Beach, of the supreme court, on the habeas corpus writ, which de- cision is expected to-day. Detective Pinkerton, of New York, met Brockway at Coney Island thé other day, it is stated, and alluding to the Balti- more case sald, ‘Well, some ot your work, I s°e.” Brockway replied, ‘Oh, no, I didn’t plan that job.” But the detective thinks he did. Marshal Gray says he does not think Brockway came to Baltimore, though he undoubtedly planned that ratd on the Baltimore banks. Brockway has always been a hard man to catch, and it 13 con- sidered doubtful now if the New York de- tectives have succeeded in working up a too strong case for him to break. Brockway sent an accomplice named Joseph Cook into the Providence bank with a forged check for $1,327, which was paid. Cook was by a detective who was waiting in the ‘and Brockway was arrested outside. The detectives were aided in discovering the Co! the Providence banks by a tray loyed to engrave the plates from which the Ree Soke were made, but informed the de- still in the peer Se ag z 7 COOk and Somers were arraigned in Providence yes- they pleaded not guilty.

LOCAL NEWS. WORSHIP IN THE Woops. Last Day of = ™M. P. Camp Meet- ng. [Correspondence of The Star.) JACKSON GROVE, A.A.Co., MD., Aug. 15, 1890. The camp meeting which commenced on the 5th ‘nstant was formally closed last evening, and by the trains this morning most of the tent- ers left the ground. Although It has not been a great success spiritually, ff has been one of thi most enjoyable camps feld {n this section, and has doubtless done much good. Miss Parthenia Phelps ‘was thrown from a bu ‘ yesterday and was badly bruised abont the head and should- ers, Miss Newman, who came up from Bowle yesterday morning, was taken serionsiy fl. The congregation was larger yesterday than on any previous week day of the camp, and tncluaed quite a number of Baltimoreans, who returned home Jn the evening. At the nine o'clock am, prayer meeting yesterday Rev. Mr. Gray offi- ciated, and the experience meeting, in charge of Rey. J. D. Kenzer, followed. At ii o'clock, the preaching was by Rev. C. B. | Middleton, of Hampden, from John xx, part of 25th verse. At3 o'clock p. m.. Rev. Mr. Jones secupled the pulpit, and preached trom i Timo- thy, 1,5. At night, Kev. Mr. Smith, of Howard, reached from 40 to 42 verses, “the healing of the lepers, ig with a powerful exhortation. Several penitents presented them- selves, and there were some conversions, This meeting was kept up till 10 o'clock, but a num- ber of people remained around the stand and conducted what might be termed “an old Jashioned meeting” until near midnight. Dur- ing the evening 2 ist of converts, and those Who were determined to lead a new fe were taken by Re Ivy. Murray to be transmitted to the churches they selected, and Rev. Mr. Gray made a very feeling address. This closed ‘a very pleasant’ meeting. There was, however, during many of the services considerable courting going on, and last nighi there was probably a8 much of' ic to the square inch as could be found In the most favored locality in Washington. This was the source of much complaint on the part of the old folks, ahd It was proposed 10 some of the ministers this morning Uiat at the next: meeting a court- ing tent be erected, so that love-making will not Interfere with religious services. C. Washington Grove ( E.) Camp Meeting. [Correspondence of The Star.) MontGoMERy Co.,Mp., August 17, 1889. ‘To-day the weather was pleasant, and as was expected there was a large influx of visitors from the county. In all, there were about 2,500 people present. The s:30 a.m. service was conducted by the Rey. John Deale, of Wesley chapel, and was well attended. TEMPERANCE DAY. At 10:30 a.m. the Tabernacle was filled with attentive listeners. The meeting was under the auspices of the Maryland State Temperance Alllance, and was presided over by the Hon. Allan Bowie Davis. It was opened with singing “Yield not to Temptation.” After the opentag exercises the presiding elder announced that a collection would be taken up towards defraying the expenses of the camp, but the congregation ‘were not very liberally inclined, as the Ccollec- Uon only netted about $27, an average of about two cents each. After the collection, Miss Mosher recited a poem entitied “Is It Nothing to You?” which was greeted with great applause by the audience. The first. address was deliv- ered by Hon, William Daniels, president of the Maryland State Temperance Alliance, who set forth the evils of the liqucr traffic trom physi- cal, inteliectual and religious standpoints. “He referred to the fallacy that the cure of this evil was in the increase of prosperity, intelligence and religion, saying they had been utterly powerless in this and European countries to destroy or even check the evil; but on the contrary the evil had frequently done its most terrible work im communities that were both prosperous and intelligent. He spoke of the encouraging re- sults of the work of the State Temperance Alll- ance in securing local option in eight counties ot ee, with eight counties yet to vove upon ft. die was followed by the Rey. J. McKendree Rielly, of Georgetown, whose address abounded in wit, humor, convincing arguments, and pathetic appeals. This service occupied nearly Ubree and a-half hours, and delayed dinner and prevented the children’s meeting. At 3 p.m. the tabernacle was again crowded With people. The meeting was presided over by John T. Mitchell, who, in opening, read a selection of Scripture. Miss Mosher was intro- duced and recited a poem entitled, “Vote Against Kum.” Mr. James 5. Hallowey, of this county, Was introduced and made a Very able acdress. He was followed by Mrs. McKendree Riely, She made an earnest appeal to ali to stand firm and vote in such a way as to secure the success of local option. Charlie Nye was then introduced, and for half an hour he held the audience completely under his control. At times they would be laughing, and then sud- denly he would melt them to tears by the re- Cital of the sorrow and suffering caused by rum. Towards dusk the greater part of the visitors had leit the grounds. EVENING MEETINGS. At6 p.m. Mry, Kelly held a young people's meeting. These meetings are increasing tn at- tendance, and are becoming very popular with the young folks. At 7:30 a large congregation assembled in the tabernacle to listen to the Kev. L. M. Gardiner, of Ryland Chapel. He took for his text 1 Cor., x, 4,—“* And that rock was Christ.” The sermon Was practical and full of food for thought. Rev. J. F. Deale followed in an earnest exhortation, the result of which was the conversion of a young lady. Shortly after the exhortation, and while the choir was singing, a man, who had been imbibing rather more than was good for him, got up and commenced thanking the ladies for singing, saying: * Thank you, indies: thank you; very much obliged.” He was quickly takea. out, but he did not go far, for about 11 o'clock he was staggering alopg one of the avenues, and stumbling St One of the tents he lay there until an officer removed hua from the grounds. It was reported on the grounds this eveping that a lady was severely Injured by falling from a carriage, but the particulars nave not been obtained. The census of the camp was taken to-day. ‘The population 1s $40. This includes only thuse tenting on the grounds. A son of Mr. Stonestrect, one of the butchers at the camp, died during the night, he having injured himself by falling off a hay rack, PERSONAL, The choir is strengthened by the addition of Mrs. Thomas Monroe, nee Hatte Goodwin, who ‘will be remembered by so many as one of the sweetest singers ever on this camp ground.

The city of Chicago paused from work while her sireets were crowd- ed with visitors from all sections of the Union todo them honor. Nearly every house they passed was gayly decorated In honor of their presence. Every possible place that afforded a view of the march was occupied.
