THE CAPTAINS TESTIFY. The investigation of the charges brought against the captains of the river steamers—the Randall and the Wakefield—for alleged racing, ending in a collision on the 24th of June about forty miles down the river, was begun this morning in the office of the board of supervis- a inspectors in the Maltby build- The examination of witnesses was conducted by Capt. John H. Cooper, inspector in charge of this district. Capt. Edwin F. White, who is also an inspecter in charge of this district, sat with Capt. Cooper, and occasionally tock » hand in the examination. Gen. Dumont, the supervising. inspector general, was present at intervals during the hearing. The witnesses were allowed to tell théir own story and then Capt. Cooper questioned them. A stenographer took down the evidence, which will be con- sidered by the inspectors, who will submit a Feport to the supervising general. ‘The facts Ae they were brought out show that the captains of the two vessels were, to say the least, rather stubborn. While some of the wit- nesses refused to speak of the affair as a race, yet as both vessels were going about as fast a they could go and hed on a high pressure of steam, it appeared, as Capt. Cooper re- marked, that the conditions for race. seemed to be present. The hearing was begun at 10 o'clock and was continued without a break into the afternoon. The Testimony. The notice sent to the captains of the two boats stating that charges of violating the rules had been preferred against‘them was read by Capt. Cooper. CAPT, OWENS OF THE WAKEFIELD. ‘The firet- witness was William B. Owens of this city, the captain of the Wakefield. He collect | stated that he had held that position since the 15th of Febraary last, and was in charge of the steamer on the 24th of June. The regular ‘speed of the vessel was about twelve miles per hour and the steam pressure carried was never | $10 more than forty pounds, He then made a statement of what happened from the time he came out of Smith's wharf. ‘The Randall, he said, blew a whistle when he got out. The whistle was answered, and when above Chatterton the Randall blew again, and he answered, letting them know that it was dangerous to pass his bow. He said that the signal for the Randall was for the right of way. The two vessels ran along side by side and at times came within each other's suction. The Wakefield beld her course, From ‘Thorn's Gut to the black* buoy the vessels ran together. The passengers on board his vessel were not frightened, and the first time he knew that there was any alarm was when he read the newspapers, When asked why he did not slow down the captain said that the other boat had Plenty of room to pass. MR. VICTOR KAUPFMANY. The examination of Capt. Owens was sus- pended in order to hear the evidence of Mr. Victor Kauffmann, a reporter of Tax Evexixe Stan, who was obliged to leave the city. He testified that he was on board the Randall on the 24th of Juae. He was on the deck and his attention was called to the Wakefield, which close that People on board the converse. It seemed to him that they were racing. The boats drow nearer, and be supposed that the suction of the boate drew them together and they collided. The shock Was not sufficient to throw the people on board down." Then the Wakefield dropped back and the Randall continued on. On crose-examination hestated thathe was aft ‘on the boat, on the starboard side. The mem- bers of the crew jeered at each other and called out. He shought that the space then between the boats was about twenty feet. The boats struck at the paddle box. ‘The witness testified to the fright on the part ofthe women on boerd the Randall. He ex- plained that the collision was not more serious for the reason that the boats were near! lel and they struck at a slight angle. The witnese believed that the vessels were racing aud that the Wakefield was trying to pase the bow of the Handail and the latter did not wish to take her water. Capt. Nowell of the Randall asked one ques- who, it was men on Wakefield. ‘The witness replied that as far as he could judge they were the deck hands. At the request of Capt. Cooper the witness read the report of the affair, which he had written, that was published in Tax Star of MR. CLUSKEY CROMWELL. ‘The next witness was Mr. Cluskey Cromwell, a reporter on the Evening News. He testified that he had written the article which appeared im the News, in which he stated that the boats were racing and there was talarm on the part of the passeagers on the He said that the boats coliided and the shock was quite perceptible on board the Randall.

Lancaster, the president of the Maryland Democratic Club, which had chartered the Randall, asked witness to say nothing of the occurrence in the newspapers, and the witness said that he could not do it. It was the impres- sion of the witness that the officers of the boat were rather reckless in allowing the racing. DR. N, CHAPMAN, Dr. N. Chapman then testified that he lived at 920 G street and that he was on board the Randall on the day in question. He was on the bow of the boat and saw the Wakefield come out of the landing, and first he thought the Wakefield was going to pass the Randall, but he saw that she could not doit. Then it occurred to him that they were racing and a Mr. Cook- sey, who was standing near, called his atten- tion to the smoke stack of the steamers showing active fires. The boats came together. He thought that the approach was made by the Wakefield. The force of the collision was sufli- cient to throw him from his feet. As a mem- ber of the committee he thought he ought to stop the racing,and went to the pilot house and spoke to Capt. Nowell, who said that they were merely taking his right of way. The witness told him that he ought to consider the passen- gers, who were greatly frightened, and that be should stop racing. There was no doubt about the boats racing. He was asked if Capt. Nowell was the man he spoke to in the pilot house. The witness, turning, said that he was the man, but he did not recognize him before. “Tsuppose," remarked Capt. Cooper jokingly, “that he looks differently when he is racing.” DR. CHAS, ALLEN. Dr. Charles Allen of this city was the next witness, who testified to the eollision of the two boats and the fright of the passengers on F | board the Randall.

The Morning’s Session of the Christian Endeavorers, Seven Thousand Perso: @ Hall—Pockets ofthe Delegates Picked—Parade of a Brigade. Monraest, July 7.—Some of the Christian Endeavor delegates who attended the tent meeting last night, complain that pickpockets awaited their exit and that more than attempt at watch snatching was mado. The delegations from Missouri, Arkansas and Texas arrived in the city by boat last night and their arrival about completes the roll call. It was for their arrival that the presentation of the 1898 commit- tee banner was postponed until Saturday. New York will doubtless get this banner. ‘The sensational reports sent out from Mon- treal that the delegates from the states are satisfied with their quarters have taken their rise in the individual kicks from various mem- bers rather than from any considerable body o/ visitors. Now that all the delegates have arrived it is admitted by some of the head men in the conv. tion that the attendance is rather diseppointing, and that 13,000 is an outside number for the delegates, but this detracts nothing from the enthusiasm, and this morning all the 6 o'clock prayer meetings were well attended and the tent and hail were comfortably fillsd, In the tent Rev. M. Rhodes of St, Louis pre- sided. An open meeting was conducted on the Sun- day evening service by Rev. J. A. Roulthaler of Indianapolis. Rev. 8. V. Karmarkar, an En- deavorer from Bombay, read « paper, “A Voice detailing Christian ' Endeavor work in that far-off land. Treasurer Shaw of Boston conducted a ‘‘question box.” which was participated in by many of the delegates Present. The mal interest centered in the drill ball, where tho orators. of the morning were assembled. The delegates marched to the meeting with banners flying and singing En- deavor hymns, Seven thousand people were assembled in the drill hall. The, papers read were: | “The Pledge,” by Herbert L. Dale of Worcester, Mass.; “The Committee Work,” by E. A. Hardy of Lindsay, Ont.; “The Consecration Meeting,” by Rev, E. M. Young of New Britain, Conn.; “Christian Endeavor Fellowship,” by Rev. E. Dillon of Toronto, and “Christian Endeavor Society, a Typical Chureh {nstitution,” by Rev. Kerr’ B. ‘Tupper of Denver. REV. E. K. YOUNG'S REMARKS. “The consecration hour is to the Christian the season of realized nearness to God. Thought is centered upon Him. Energy is directed toward Him. Devont search has found Him, Appropriating faith reveals His presence. It is the supreme hour of Christian life, for it is the hour of entire self-surrender and unques- tioning trust. It is borne in upon the con- sciousness then, as at no other stage of develop- rience, that strength does not come by struggling, victory 1s not achieved by violent contention and God is not found by an im- tient eagerness that keeps the soul in unrest- Ing pursuit. In the quietness of submission, in the attitude of voluntary captivity, in unre- served compliance with the Divine will, when the ‘spirit of highest heroism before man stands as a little child before the face of God,’ there is realization such as never came to the foul in the strain of pursuit and the incessant struggle for possession. "it's the marvelous paradox of our religion that strength lies in weakness. Surrender is the condifian of conquest. Submission is mas- terabip. Abasement is exaltation. Emergence from the consecration hour is into continuing fellowship with Christ and conscious nearness to God. ‘The altar has sanctified the gift, sur- rendered eelfhood has brought induement of superhuman power. God is henceforth a re- vealed presence. It is then that the doctrine of the Divine in- welling passes into bliswful experience. The dimly ‘apprehended truth that the Creator dwells His creatures brightens!into a clear and comforting realization. God fills the whole sphere of being. He isthe eloment in which we live, the inspiration of all we do. We are walled in by His love, sheltered by His care and protected by His grace. The consciousness that He abides with us brings down upon our lives the strength that is infinite and puts into ‘our endeavors the courage and patience that prophesy victory. ““T esteem it the highest privilege of my min- istry to be there myself, in the midst of these questionings and longings and faltering hopes tnd confessions, and put the precious promises of the Word over against the burdening doubts and fears, and lead their young lives into a new experience ef the Father's love. All the con- ditions of that meeting are favorable for pas- toral counsel. It is the hour when the mind fe tractable, the heart impressible, the spirit hungering and thirsting and every door open to welcome the truth. The consecration meet- ing is the pastor's golden opportunity. “Conspicuously in every place of meeting should be displayed the injunction of St, Paul: “Yield yourselves unto God.” By its side hie sublime’ paradox, ‘When [ am weak then am I strong,” and over all the inspiring assurance of the prophet: “They that wait upon the Lord shall ronew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.” REY. DR. K. B, TUPPER’S ADDRESS. “My subject this hour, as already announced, is ‘The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, a Typical Institution of Our Cen- tury’—typical because representative and illus- trative of three fundamental elements in the activity and success of modern Christianity. And may the great head of the church and of Christian Endeavorers, our common Lord, sanctify to us this simple, sympathetic discus— sion. “With the recognition of the fact that the Church of Christ has hud in every age of ite history some special phase of thought and ac- tivity, some peculiar mission of reform, if I wore called upon to characterize, Christianity in our nineteenth century of enlightenment ani progress, I should designate its prominent, reponderating aspect as clearly three-fold: ‘rat, the church at work; second, the church unitedly at work; and third, the church unitedly at work in a unique way for the eleva- tion and salvation of that ciass among us who, in the coming generation, are to be the strong est pillars of our natural structure, namely, the youth of our day. ‘Each human being,’ writes a noted American ‘author, ‘is permitted by his Creator to pass through a form of golden ‘age, which, according as it is shaped and de- veloped, lends to glory or gloom. We call this period ‘The flower of youth” or “The.iower of manhood.” “Now, the church of God, through the Y. P. 8. C.

Again Postponed.

NOT SERIOUSLY ILL.| No Belief Here That Mr. Cleveland is in Bad Shape. WHAT THE CABINET MINISTERS SAY. Their Knowledge is Confined to Press Dispatches. MR. THURBER’S STATEMENT. ‘Telegraphic reports from Buzzard's Bay re- ceived in this city today state that President Cleveland is suffering from an attack of rheumatism which confines him to the house, and that Dr. Bryant, who is with him, says that President must have absolute quiet and rest. It is fur- ther stated that ‘the President will remain through July, but will not transact any public business, He will later on give necessary at- tention only to any official business of im- Portance that may come from Washington.” Beyond the meager information conveyed in the dispatches, supplemented by the assurance of Dr. Bryant ‘that the President is all right and only suffering from rheumatism,” nothing can be learned of the President's condition. RUMORS A8 TO HIS CONDITION. The fact, however, that the President is acknowledged to be incapacitated for work since his arrival at Buzzard’s Bay has given rise to rumors that his condition may be more serious than those around him will admit It is recalled that he was not incapacitated for work when he left fashington, for on the afternoon of his ure he held a cabinet meeting, at which it was decided to call the extra session of Congress. One of the rumors current here today, proba- bly growing out of the Cg aoe ‘that his trip must have operated to bis disadvantage, is that the rheumatism may ha: xtended from his limbs to the upper portion of his body, threatening his heart, and that his "physician fears thai work or worry may aggravate it. In connection with this rumor it is said that the Presidents trip from New York to Buzzard’s Bay in Mr. Bene- dict’s yacht was attended with rough weather and easterly gales, which may have brought on 8 more severe attack with an extension of the locality. Of course, as no information is obtainable here touching the President's health on the voyage, the rumor is not susceptible of con- firmation. WHAT CABINET OFFICERS SAY. Members of the cabinet who are now in the city have received no intimation, they say, that the President's condition isin any way serious, and add that their knowledge of his indisposition 1 confined to the report carried in the press dis It is not believed here that the rumor that Mr. Cleveland is suffering from cancer of the mouth has any foundation in fact. PRIVATE SECRETARY THURBER'S STATEMENT. A Stan reporter called on Private Secretary ‘Thurber at the White House today and was assured by him that there was nothing serious the matter with the President He based this statement on the fact that beyond » little run down by hard work President was in his usual robust bealth when he left hore last Friday, and, furthermore, on the fact that he has heard nothing from the President since his arrival at Buzsard’s Bay. He was sure he would have been informed if the President had been taken seriously ill. RESULT OF OVERWORK. Mr. Thurber explained that the rheumatic attack was undoubtedly the result of overwork, and was merely the reappearance of « trouble to which he was subject at intervals. He was confident that it will soon yield to treatment, of which rest was the principal feature. There was no delay in the President's arrival at Buzzard’s Bay as he orig- inally plannéd to arrive there about Wednesday or Thursday. He took the sea trip for rest and recreation, and purposely | stead avoided haste, and ft was also for that reason he had kept away from “the madding crowd” for afew days, No mail has been sent to the President from the White House, and none will be forwarded that is not necessary for the dispatch of public business. This isin accordance with his instructions before his departure, and no change in the ar- rangement bas since been made. INQUIRING RECEIVED AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Many inquiries, telegraphic and verbal, were received at the White House yesterday and today in regard to the Pres dent, and Private Secretary Thurber re- sponded to them all that there was nothing at serious the matter with him.
