CHRISRAN ENDEAVOR CONVENTION Addresses Delivered at the Two Sessions Today. 3 ge CHEERING THE CITY’S MAYOR. — Mowrneat, July 6.—The Christian Endeavor convention got down to business this morning. At 10 o'clock they were welcomed to the city by representatives of Montreal's religious life. At 6:30 there had been prayer meetings in half a dézen of the largest city churches, but it was not until 10 o'clock, when the first meeting was held in the drill hall, that Montreal had an opportunity of fully appreciating the great multitude that has entered the city’s gate within the past twenty- four hours. The drill hall is a vast structure- @ regiment can maneuver with ease on its spacious floor—but it was filled to overflowing with delegates to the twelfth annual conven- tion. ‘On the platform were representative ciergy- men of all the leading cities of the continent. For a quarter ot an hour the vast multitude sang Gospel bymns with dash and spirit, | and’ then Rev. Dr. Clarke, the father of | the movement, arose and led the audience in repeating the twenty-third Psaim, after which the Rev. F. B. Keene of the Protestant. mission, ‘Japan, offered up prayer. Z | \on there was another hymn; in fact, there | was a hymn sandwiched in between each’ num- | ber on the program. Then the Rev. J. A. Me- | Gillavray welcomed the convention on behalf of the pastors of Montreal. His address was short and was very well received. ‘After him came Senator Des Jardins, the mayor of Montreal, wearing his chain of office. He got a royal welcome from the convention, and when, after prefacing his remarks by a few words of welcome, he said: “While Iam a Roman Catholic myself.and while Montreal is a Roman Catholic city, that is, the greater por- tion of her citizens profess that faith, none will extend a heartier welcome than we will.” THE NON-SECTARIAN SENTIMENT CHEERED. ‘The great crowd cheered the Senator almost into astonishment. “It is not a battle of creeds nowadays,” con= tinued the speak uta battle between be- lief and unbelief,” amid another outburst of applause. Yhen Senator Des Jardins sat down Presi- dent Clark called upon the choir to sing “God Save the Queen,” the audience joining in and waving their handkerchiefs and American and iy and there was another outburst of applause which almost lofty roof. welcomed the delegates on behalf of the young | men of the city. ‘The third address of welcome came from Mr. A.A. Ayer of Montreal, chairman of the 1893 committee. Rev. P. S. Henson of Chicago replied to the addresses, extending thanks for the right royal welcome. Dr. Henson's speech was a witty and patriotic effort. ~ THE AFTERNOON SESSION. The afternoon meeting was devoted to the junior society. An address on the origin and ‘The roll call of the state junior superintend- ents came next. Anaddres« by Rev. Wayland Hoyt of Minneapolis on the ‘Possibilities of the Junior Society” was listened to. DR. WAYLAND HOYT'S REMARKS. Dr. Hoyt began his remarks by saying: “It | im the great art gallery at Dresden. Pictures almost innumerable, far-famed, precious. g!ow japon the walls.’ ‘The masterpieces of the master-workers in form and color are accumulated there—of Carlo Dolce, Paul Veronese, of Corregio, of | Titian, of Rubens, Rembrandt, of many more, esteemed the peers of these. If it be such a day as the one on which I visited it, the gallery is thronged, aud the nowes of a multitude are | around you. People are moving throngh the | halls pointing out to each other the beauties and the excellences of this picture and of that. talking, laughing. “But come with me to a small room cur- tamed from the larger gallery. The room is | full, for in this place is enshrined the heart and paragon of the entire exbibition. And will | you notice the hush which falls on every side. Every eye is reverently held by the one i Raphael's Madonna di San Sisto, per- ps the most supreme picture that every looked from canvas. It is the picture only of the | Virgin Mother and the Holy Child. But as you | stand there gazing the homaging hush over- whelms you. You can see and feel it all—the Him, which is to culminate upon the cross. | | *¥ou cannot help it. You willingly put | | scepter into the child's hand and let him sway | | you. And, will you just now notice—it is the picture of achild which makes the knees of | | your soul bend. Ab! how that picture hallows | childbood. “That is a significant and far-reaching truth to which a strong thinker had given speech——‘I | find a child in no religion but in the religion of Jesua Mohammed seemed to know nothing | about achild. ‘The heathen seemed to know | nothing about children in their mythology. | | Their gods were not born as children. They | were never clothed with the sympathies of | | children. They were gods of terror, gods of | | passion, gods of lust, gods of might; but they | were never gods of helplessness a span long. | | Ob, no. ‘That would not have been natural; | that would not have been divine in their con- |ception. And hence they make no provision for children. But the great | elementary fact of Christianity is the Holy Child, Jesus. Born of a woman, | born under the law, in total helplessness phy- | | sically, Inic a manger, cared for by no man. | | But the child of the Everlasting Father and the | Prince of Peace. So that the gospel of Jesus is | the only religion on earth that makes provision | for a child and is the only religion in which a child is laid as the basis and foundation of its | faith.” “And so Christian Endeavor, on the junior and child side of it, ou this side of its caring | for and nurturing ‘the bors and giris, is the closest chime and contact with that religion which has for its formation a little child. Dr. Hoyt then proceeded to deliver an in- | teresting address, in which he pointed out the possibilities for good of a Junior Christian En- | deavor organization. A free parliment on junior methods con-| ducted by Kev. H. N. Kinney of Wiested, Coun., | was arr interesting feature. sis ‘The meeting closed with an address by Mre. Francis E. Clark of Auburndale, Mass, on “Junior Christian Endeavor in Foreign Lands.” > HAS A KHEUMATIC FooT. | | | | The President Confined tq His Bed at His Seaside Home. Bezzarp’s Bay, Mass., July 6.—A call made at Gray Gables this morning reveals the fact that the President is'eonfined to his room. Secretary Lamont says that Mr. Cleveland has an attack of rheumatism in his foot and knee, a complaint he has suffered from many years and which is no doubt aggravated at this time by the hard | work and severe strain on his strength which | the President has undergone since the 4th of March. ‘The trouble has been hanging about him jfor some weeks, but has now #0 much increased in severity that he will | be compelled to take absolute rest in order that ! | he may be at bis post of duty at the special | | meeting of Congress next month.

New York, July 6.—The professionalelement still controls the stock market and commission orders are searce and hard to execute. The volume of business is still small and the course | of prices remains unchanged. Money today loaned at 6 and 8 per cent, the latter being the highest loan up to 2:30 o'clock. Money accommo- dations are confidently expected to be more easy from now on and 6 per cent loans were quite abundant on the exchange today for the first time in many weeks. The solution of the money question means more to the speculative world at this time and would have a better effect of prices than any other one cause. With this great question disposed of and the return of gold from Europe which must soon occur in payment for our enormous ex- ports of breadstaffs, the confidence which has n lost during this long period of depression would soon be restored and new life given to speculation. Reading's affairs are still being discussed. Master George L. Crawford has tiled his report with the court and has asked per- mission, on bebalf of the receivers, to issue $3,500,000 certificates, which, it is said, would provide for the immediate wants of the company and be very acceptable to its creditors. Five hundred thousand dollars of Speyer & Co.'s loan was paid yesterday by the ‘nance Company of Philadelphia and the loan extended, leaving#®2,500,000 to be event- ually redeemed by the Reading company.

The failure of five national banks in tho south and west were reported today, the most important of which was the First National of Winston, North Carolina, correspondent of the Chemical National, New York, with a capital of $200,000. ‘At'2:45 money had dropped to 4 per cent and quite a rally set in, and the closing figures in many instances were the highest recorded dur- ing the day.

AUTHORITIES ARE WATCHFUL eve reas Panis, July 6.—The action of the police in making arrests at the Charity Hospital yester- day, which brought forth a letter of protest from Prof. Germain See, has caused the most intense anti-police agitation in professional and other circles. The first dispatch stating that the convales- cent patients had hissed the police from the windows of the hospital and had been arrested for so doing was incorrect. It transpires that Police Commissary Dhers, who was in charge of a body of gendarmes that had been strug- gling with the rioters in the vicinity of the hospital. heard somebody in the hospital hissing police. He ordered the arrest of six house surgeons, but when his subordinates attempted to carry out the order the surgeons shut and locked the hospital doors. They re- fused to open them when ordered to do so by the police, and the latter, determined to make arrests and very angry because of the resist- ance to them, burst the doors in and assaulted the surgeons who were standing in the vesti- vale. ‘Two of the surgeons were placed in custody and taken to the prefecture.where M. Loze, the perfect of police, ordered that they at once be released. ‘This further angered the police. and shortly afterward several officers returned to the hos- pital and seized Prof. Vi cian and chemical analy violently. Several surgeons tirely uncalled for aseault attempted. to defend the professor. The police turned on them and handled thems very roughly, inflicting serious injuries on three or four of them. ‘The hospital was in an uproar at this brutal manifestation of police spite, and the hospital staff determined to drive the police out of the building. Some of the surgeons procured re- volvers, and at their muzzles compelled the police to withdra This morning a number of high officials, deeply indignant ut the police, intervened in the matter and demanded of the government that the hospital be protected against further intrusion by police endeavoring to redress per- sonal grievances. Quietness prevails throughout the city today, but there has been no diminution of the bitter feoling entertained against the police. The officers, civil and military, are on the jui vive, and the districts of the city 1n which further trouble may occur are closely patrolied. senders VICTORIA AS A BATTLE SHIP. Uncle Sam Has Smaller Vessels Which Could Easily Have Beaten Her in a F ight. “The Victoria wasa grent battle ship, but not up tothe highest mark asa fighting ma- chine,” said a commodore in the navy toa writer for Tux Stax. “I would not hesitate to attack two vessels like her with one like our new- built Massachusetts. Though slightly smaller, the Massachusetts is faster by a knot, and she has an armor belt all around. Her armament of guns is superior for purposes of war. The 110-ton guns carried by the Victoria repre- rented a type of weapon too tremendous to be useful. Those in control of them were afraid to fire them. Each of them had a life of only twenty roands, ax it is reckoned. In other words, after it had fired that number of shots it became worthless. A faster ship with emaller guns would «imply have to badger such a vessel as the Victoria until her guns should be ren | dered no longer available by being fired a few times and then close with her. ABSURD TACTICS. “Such tactics as those in which the British fleet was engaged when the Victoria was rammed | are absurd and stupid, because they are of no use in actual warfare. ‘Tho French are much | better tacticians than the English. You never hear of their ships ramming each other. Be- sides, the French vessels are faster than those of the English-navy. It is my opinion that the French could whip the British on the sens now if there was a fight between the two nations. However, France cannot afford to get into a row with England or with anybody else, #0 lon; as Germany 1 menacing her. ‘The British hel supremacy on the ocean as long as ships were managed with sails. Whether they can keep it now that « revolution in such matters has taken place and vessels of war are hardly more than floating forts propelled by machinery is to my mind a serious question. A FATAL MISTAKE. “If Thad been in command of the Camper- down at the time of the disaster I would have | held my ram in the side of the Victoria instead of withdrawing it. ‘To pull it out was a fatal mistake. It was like extracting a knife from a wound which 1# certain to bleed the patient to death as quickly as the weapon is withdrawn. ‘The ram served the purpose of stopping the hole toa certain extent. If what I suggest had been done it would not have been difficult to take off all the. people in safety before the doomed ship sank. As for Vice Admiral Tryon, his action in refusing to save himself was noth: ing more nor less than heroic suicide. He folded his arms and went down with his vessel because that was the only thing he could grace- fully dounder the circumstances. He had com- mitted « frightful and unpardonable error, aud was from his point of, view impos- “Capt. Bourke might as well have done the same thing, so-far as his future prospects are concerned. ‘The disaster was not due to bis fault, but ke must suffer for his ill luck. He is a fine fellow, one of the youngest post captains in the British navy and an exceedingly able commander, but be has been unlucky. That a fault not to be forgiven, from the point of view of the British adiniralty. When he ran his ship ashore a while ago he was exonerated from blame by the authorities, but the damage was something like $100,000. ‘Probably he will never get another iinportant command.” CITIES OF THE WORLD. Populous Centers and How They Compare in the Number of Inhabitants. Gen, A. W. Greely has prepared a very inter- esting documentrespecting the populous centers of the world. It illustrates remarkably the enormous growth in the population of this country. For example, it is shown that of the ten cities having 1,000,000 inhabitants three are in the United States. ‘There are sixteen exist- ing cities with a population of 750,000 or more each, and of these the United states has four. Of the 500 cities having « population above 50,000 the countries having the greatest num- ber are as follows: United States, 85; India, 76; Great Britain, 72; Germany, 47; Russia, 34; France, 33; Japan, 17; Spain, 16; Austro-Hun- gary, 15: Italy, 14. Four-fifths of all are sit- uated in these ten countries and one-sixth in the United States. In the 500 cities with a population exceeding 50,000 dwell one-fifth of the 1,480,000,000 peo- ple who make up the population of the world. | Climate has much to do with the aggregation of | great numbers in towns. The great majority | of all large cities are situated in latitudes where | the average temperature is between 45 degrees and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. In the parte of | Europe and America where these annual tem- | peratures prevail there is one city of 100,000 | inhabitants to about every 2,000,000 of popu- |lation. In Russia there is only one such city to | aver 9,000.000, and in India one to over 10,000,680 soula,.-- — With but few exceptions, the populous cities of the world have become such during the pres- ent century. This is illustrated by the fact | that nineiy years ago the United States had no town of 100,000 inhabitants or more, while now it has twenty-eight. England had one only, now it has twenty-four. Gen, Greely lax been at much pains to set down the populations of the 100 greatest cities of the world. Firat. of course, comes London, ith 4,211,000 inhabitants. "What is called dreater London,” including the suburbs, has 3,633,000 people. Paris has 2,448,000. Then somes New York. Next in the list is Canton, China, which is estimated at 1,600,000, there eing no census to go upon. Berlin has 1,579,- 000; Vienna, 1,390,000: Tokio, Japan, 1,161,000: Chicago, 1,100,000; Philadelphia, 1,046,000; St. Petersburg, in winter, 1,003,000. In summer, however, St. Petersburg has only 845,000. These are all the cities which have a million in- habitants or over. Those which have over balf a million are in the order of their rank as fol- lows: Brooklyn, Constantinople, Calcutta, Bom- bay. Glasgow, Moscow, Buenos Ayres, Liver- pool, Budapest and Manchester.

On the main line, the trolley division, four cars were rfinning on a ten-minute schedule and a like state of affairs prevailed on the G treet branch. The cars were manned for the most part by new men, although there are about eight of the old men who have | signed the agreement and are now drawing their $2 for aday’s labor. Receiver Downing said toa Star recorter this morning that as far as possible they were securing the services of men who have had some experience railroad men, but when this was impossible they took the: best they could, and so far they had succeeded in getting a high average of men, Hé thought that by tomorrow morning the road woulg be running along as though there had been no strike at all. No effort bas been made to enforce the objectionable con- tract on the 11th strect line, aud there is no rea- son to believe that there will be any trouble there. ABANDONED HOPE. There is one thing that seems evident today, and that is that the strikers on the Eckington lino have practically given up all hope of win- | ning the fight. The company stated | that unless the men signed the contract | by the Sth Of July they would be oat of a job. and since then they bave said that they would not, under any conditions, take back any of the men who voluntarily went out. The strikers, on the contrary, say that they are sat- istied that if they would give up the struggle now the company would be willing and glad to take them»back at any terms. As proof of this they say that two or three of their men have weak- ened and gone back to work at the old rate of pay. One conductor signed the agreement and gave a bond for $500, secured on his brother's house. He was at work today. The strikers say there will be no difficulty in filling their places. The only trouble will be, they contend, when the new men start to work on the electric line. They say that so much damage will ensue _that the company will regret taking on inex- perienced hands. There were about fifty-four | who went out’from the Eckington road alto- gether. This number is comparatively small and .as there is no labor union of street men in this city the men admit that the chances of ultimate success for them are very small indeed. TRE MEN ARE STILL FIRM, Still they insist that under no circumstances can they be induced to put their names to the odious paper. Mauager Schoepf has stated t “he had no intention of applying that agreement to the horse car line. But the strikers point out that Bejcaas oa usecase 6 niet es car line was concerned. ‘They suy thatif it had not been for the trouble it caused on the Eck- ington line he would have endeavored to put it in force on Lith street as well. The strikers have been told that if they persist in staying out they would be put on a black list by the manager of the line and will never hereafter be able to get employment in this business in Washington or Baltimore. In view of the fact that they have little hope of carrying the point a number of men have already begun to look around for other work to do. Some have succeeded in getting it, while others are still on the lookout. ABENEFIT EXCURSION. © ‘Tho younger men and those without families have not begun to worry themselves about this matter as yet. They make their headquarters at ‘the corner of Sth street and New York. avenue and discuss the situation by the hour. The proposition was made last night to get up some sort of an open air excur- ion for the benefit of the strikers and the idea met witha hearty reception. A meeting was | held on the corner this morning and a commit- tee was sent off to see what arrangements could be made for an excursion either down the river or at same near-by point by rail. The matter was not definitely decided, but the excursion will probably be given in the coarse of a couple of days. AS COMPARED WITH THE FORMER Boss. One of the strikers said to a Stax reporter this morning: ‘Things have been altogether worse since this new syndicate got possession of the road. Under the old management we had twelve hours a day's work and were allowed to lay off one trip for dinner or supper as the case might be and our place was taken by one of the extra men. As it is now, we have to make more trips and we are not given that trip off tor meals. All we have is an eight-minute rest. | That's not very | long for dinner. — Then, too, it ina rule | of the road that if one of ‘the G atreet cars ix above K street on 5th, the electric car must wait for it. This might mean three or four minutes off our eight and the revult would be that we would have to ent our meals on) the jump, while the car was going. | If a trolley should slip off the wire and break the conductor would have to pay anywhere from $1.70 to #2.50, although it might really be no fault of his nt all. For instance, if a trolley car is well filled when it starts off from 7th ‘street the car would probably get as far as Ist street before the conductor would be through taking up fares a chance to get out on the back platform again. If the trolley should fly off and break it would certainly be no fault of the con- duetor, but he would have to. pay the bill just the same, The condition of the road now in so bad that the trolley is likely to slip off at any time, ‘The agreement that they wanted us to kign was the last straw that broke the camel back.” : WILL NoT RESORT TO VIOLENCE. There has been nothing like trouble among the men since the strike began nor is there any tendency to resort to force in settling their diffictities. There have been one or two minor difficulties, but these were rather side issues to the. main affair. ‘This morning Receiver Downing got into an altercation! with a man named Austin, who was formerly an employe of the road, but’ was dis- charged about a month ago. They came to blows, but no serious harm was done to either party. They were both arrested, however, and left collateral for their appearance. ——— THE COURTS, Cmcurt Court, Divistox 2—Judge Cor, Today—J.N. Moeller agt. F. W. Moeller: judgment confessed.

(Continued from First Page.) all papers in the case Mr. Simonds directed that carbon copies be made for himself. This was Mr. Simonds’ motive for obtaining thore copies. retary Noble had authorized Mr. Simonds rocure his copies. Mr. Church said there was no excuse for having the copying made by outside persons. The office was able to do it at the time. A CHARGE OF GRAND LARCENY. ‘There is another aspect to the case of Mr. Simonds, continued Mr. Churgh. He had no right to take those copies without payment. ‘They represented labor by government employes d government property to the value of £35, Therefore, under the laws of the District of Columbia Mr. Simonds has been guilty of grand Hlarceny in taking them, and it would seem to be the duty of the present commissioner to call the attention of the proper officials to the case. Mr, Church charged that Mr. Simonds had also violated sec- tion 5408 of the Revised Statutes and other statutes of a similar nature. Mr. Church called upon the commissioner to seize the documents now in the possession of | Mr. Simonds, anserting that the papers were government property wrongfully appropriated by Mr. Simonds. After a brief discussion of the point of juris- diction raised by Judge Payson Mr. Church rested hisargument anda re-ea4 for luncheon was taken. ‘MR. STARROW'S ARGUMENT. After the recess Mr. J. J. Starrow, counsel for Mr. Freeman, began his argument for the defense. He proposed, he said, to state the position of the different parties and ther acts. He said the commissioner is not called upon to find the defendants guilty of errors of judgment, of hastiness, of indiscretion, but must find them guilty of gross misconduct; of conduct so disgraceful that they are no longer worthy to enter the commissioner's room; of conduct #0 scandalous that they should be shunned. It is not presumed tnat the commissioner will approve all the practices of his predecessor, for it is never the case, but, at the same time, it is not to be taken for granted that attorneys are to te dis- barred for following the rules of practice laid down by his predecessors. Mr. Starrow announced his belief that the Bell Telephone Company had the same right to copies of the 1884 —— that the At- torney General had and_ that , the proceedings contemplated in court should ‘not continue un- los they had such copies. The counsel of the Bell company asked for papers’ in that suit which were plainly necessary to have. Those copies must be obtained quickly. The patent office reported that only three copyists could be put on the work, and it would take them twenty-eight days to copy the 425,000 words required. Thus the assistance of outaide copy- ists was necessitated. For years past it has been customary to permit ontsiders to make copies when the office force was insufticient. In accordance with this custom Mr. Freeman simply did his duty in obtaining, in the usual way. the copies which his clients required. He refuted Mr. Church’s claim that because this was the parent of a live application it was itself thus kept alive. Because the chiid lives the parent lives, was Mr. Church's argu- ment, but this i not the rule of tice by any means, and never will be, said Mr. Starrow. ‘Mr. Starrow created a stir by the announce- ment that he had in evidence a letter from Church & Chureh acquiescing in the statement of the Fatent office that the 1880 July applica- tion was abandoned. Mr. Starrow asserted that as x matter of fact there is no statute guarantecing the secrecy of an application, A caveat isa privileged com- munication and must be kept secret, but not 0 with an application. It is not a privileged r. t the conclusion of Mr. Starrow’s remarks late in the afternoon Judge Payson addressed the commissioner in argument of Mr. Simonds’ case. COMMISSIONER SEYMOUR'S STATEMENT. Commissioner Seymour interrupted the pro- ceedings to say that he would only consider the case against ex-Commissioner Simonds in so far as the charges relate to his obtaining copies of papers while commissioner See to to use subsequently in practice before the Department. He was free to |may that he did not —_intend to bring the grand jury's attention to charges of Mr. Simonds having obtained those papers, and would not criticise the administration of his predecessor. THE PRIDE OF THE NAVY. ‘That's What is Th. Arrangements are now being made at the Navy Department for the trial trip of the triple- screw protected cruiser Columbia, now nearing completion at Cramp's shipyard at Philadelphia.

In leaving the chapel the Dul.e and Duchess of York led the way, followed by the queen. ‘The service concluded with the hymn, “Now Thank We All Our God.” Mendelsobn’s Wedding Merch” was played as the royal party left the chapel, the united processions of leading to the throne attested by her majesty and the other members of the royal family and royal guesta, THE Bakaxrasr.

The lord ‘or and sheriffs met the newly wedded pair at St. Paul's Cathedral and their progress through the lavishly decorated and crammed street was a triumphal one. The finest display of decorations was ac- corded to St. James street, the thoroughfare leading to the palace. The ieading clubs of the city shared in the expense of preparing these decorations. The streets from the Mansion House to Buck- ingham Palace were thronged at an early hour, and as the day progressed the crowds gained in numbers until the streets were almost impasea- ble. It is estimated that over two million persons were on the streets watch- ing the several processions. The balconies and windows along the route afforded ground for thousands of sightscers, and in many ‘ST. JAMES’ PALACE. were paid for them. The police had their hands full in attending to the vast throngs on the streets. cases fabulous A large number of people were caught in the crush and #o badly injured that it was neces- sary to remove them to the hospitals, Others fainted away owing to the intense heat and excitement. These latter eases were taken out to paint her bottom and to permit a thorough inspection of her hull. THE CENTER SCREW 18 ALREADY IN PLACE. The contractors propose to have a private sea trial on the 26th in- stant, and the workings of her engines ‘on that ocoasion will determine the time for her official trial by the government. The Co- lumbia is required to have an indicated horse | power of 21,000.and to develop a speed in the open sea of 21 knots per hour. Large pre- miums and penalties are prescribed for excess or deficiency in the matter of speed. The contractors will receive » premium of $50,000 for each quarter knot in excess of twenty-one knots and will suffer a penalty of $25,000 for each’quarter knot below that rate of speed. Although the trial board bas not yet been selected. it is more than probable that it will include nearly all the officers detailed to inspect the vessel. Prior to her christening as “Columbia,” in recognition of the District of Columbia, this vessel was variously designated as “Cruiser No. 12” and the “Pirate.” She is the pride of the navy and is expected to be “the gem of the AT THE[RIVER FRONT.
