When asked by His disciples, ‘Where I've ye?’ He told them to come and See. They went, they saw, and were so impressed that they never Jeft Him, but followed Him every- where. They were not disappointed in Him, for they found in Him all that they had hoped to find. Yet, my friends, some did not follow Him to the end. They turn- ed back, for those were the kind who fol- lowed Him for what they could get out of Him. They were the kind of people who breakfasted with Christ, but did not wait to sup with Him. And, my friends, there are a great many of those cbout In the world today. A great many, I guess, are right here tonight. “These kind of people follow Christ for what they can get out of Him. When He was on earth many followed Him out of curiosity, the same reason that has brought many of you here tonight. Many went be- cause they wanted to see Him cast devils out. They wanted to see the particular kind of devils they were. Then, many went because they thought He was going to set up an earthly kingdom. They wanted to id when He did that. You peopie hington know the kind of ielks they were. They wanted an when they found out that the kingdom was to be a spiritual one they turned their | backs on Christ and left Him.

No one can pic- ture its glories and its joy. See how we strive to retain this poor earthly life. What would we not give for it? Yet it is rothing but a life of pain and suffering. In the life eternal there is no sorrow, no tears, po pain, and how little we care for it. Christ can give it to you if you but seek | Him. Oh, my friends, seek Him now, with all your hearts, before you leave this hall tonight. You won't have to go down to |pull Him up; you won't have to go up to pull Him down. He is right here. Ask Him now, and you will receive this Divine gift. “You don’t have to know how to use fine words. He will understand your heart, if you really want Him, and sa Remem- ber the little boy who prayed by saying his alphabet over and over. He knew God would spell out all he wanted to say. So He will spell out all you would say to Him. But let your prayer come from the heart. That is all.” ‘The command in his text, explained Mr. Moody, commanded people to “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you.” “This text Is more quoted, perhaps, than any other in the whole Bible,” said the evangelist. “Let its grand command be your first thought. If you seek the king- dom of God first, all will be well with you here and in the world to come.” Mr. Moody told of several touching in- . |eldents in which the Mjunction had been | urged by mothers and fathers, and closed | that he would like to give a little luncheon A nis colleagues for the purpose ng some of the Bordeaux product. The Senator, his mind filled with tariff facts and figures, did not hesitate a mo- ment to grant the request, never thinking of the possible construction that might be put upon it, and so the luncheon of today was carefully and neatly spread in the com- » room, and the Senator gave quiet notice to his friends of the other house where they could find a delicate pate, a | choice morsel of caviare and a glass’ of | Bordeaux of the finest bouquet. | Meanwhile, however, the fact had leaked out to other ears who Mr. Knowles was, nd a good friend generous informed the Senator that luncheons in committee rooms might be safe enough and innocent enougn under ordinary circumstances, but that under existing circumsta! with the iff schedules under special and tmme- diate — consideration, committee Toom lunches might prove very disastrous. So the first tip about the luncheon was | followed soon after by a second one that the cheon was of, and it is said that the clerks and messengers and waiters this afternoon at the Senate feasted high on pates and caviare, and that Mr. Knowles’ express charges away from the Capitol were almost as heavy as those on the other route. os Will Wed an Indian Girl. A special from Cherokee, Swain county, N. C., says: “Thos. W. Patten, recently ap- pointed superintendent of Cherokee Indian school, is to be married on Washington's | birthday to Miss Lillie R.

The 420th hymn followed, and the Rev. R. H. McKim led in prayer. Then the choir sang that grand hymn, “Almost Per- suaded,” the Rev. Jos. T. Kelley following with a brief talk upon the mercy of God, and urging all to accept it. Mr. Moody, after asking the choir to sing ‘Believe, and Keep on Believing,” invited the workers present to go about the hall and speak words of comfort and entreaty to those who needed them and were willing to listen. Some time was spent in that work, and the vast audience at length dispersed after the hymn, “God Be With You Until We Meet Again,” had been rendered by the choir and audience. Shams and Hypocrisy. The meeting at Convention Hall yester- day afternoon was undoubtedly the largest afternoon meeting in the history of Mr. Moody’s work here, and it is estimated that not less than 5,000 people attended, the gallery even being crowded. Leader Foster was absent, and Mr. Harry Kimball led the great choir, the first hymn being “Revive Thy Work.” The Rev. L. B. Wilson of Wesley Chapel followed in prayer,and then Mr. Sankey and Miss L. E. Elliott sang “I Shall Be Satisfied, I Shall Be Satistied, When I Awake in His Likeness.” “Savior, More Than Life to Me,” was sung by the choir, when Mr. Sankey rendered “Nothing But Leaves.” At Mr. Moody's request, the choir and audience sang ‘“‘Come,Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove.” ‘When the last note had died away, Mr. Moody addressed the throng, speaking of shams and hypocrisy. He said there was a great deal of both in and outside of the church, and remarked that some people were made very uncomfortable to hear the truth spoken about them. A great many people nursed pleasant sins which they well knew that they would have to relin- quish before they could become ail that God required them to be. And there were lots of people who went to church just so long as they were told unpleasant truths. But it was the truth they should hear, and it was the truth they should heed. If they did not there was no hope for them. Mr. Moody then went on to tell his hear- ers many plain truths, and closed by this reference to spiritualism: Christ apd Spiritualism. “And now there is another point where I may hurt the feelings of a great many of you, and I want to notify you before hand, as I expect to have your forgiveness be- fore it is done. How many of you as soon as there is one of your family that has gone from you for all time does not listen to the promptings of so-called friends and go off in secret to try to win back some message or token from the dead. What would Christ think of such a performance? The idea of my going to a room with a lot of people and turning out the gas while the tables hop around and spirits give me mes- sages of the beloved ones I have los' “No,” he cried. “If there are any mes- sages that God has for me from my beloved ones He is going to give them to me in broad daylight, and won't wait till the gas is turned out, and I have paid for my ad- mission to hear the truth from Him.” ———— _— THE EAST FLORIDA CLAIMS. They Will Hardly Be Accepted as a Set Off to the Mora Claim, The Spanish claims against the United States, which the Spanish minister here is said to have cabled to his government as advancing toward adjustment, by reason of the admission of their justice, are closely | identified with the early existence of this government, They arose through the inva- | sion of Florida by the American army,about the beginning of this century, when Florida was a Spanish province. The troops seized or destroyed some personal property of Spanish subjects, who after the cession of Florida took up their residence in Cuba, declining to give allegiance to the new flag. In the treaty of 1819 negotiated between | Spain and the United States an article was included providing for the settlement of the | damages sustained by these Spaniards. The | claims were referred to the territorial courts of Florida and they fixed the dam- ; ages for the actual loss or destruction of property, and, in addition, allowed the claimants 5 per cent of the amounts fixed upon for the delay in settlement, running through twenty years. By rather loose phraseology this second- ary award was termed “interest” and from this all the trouble has arisen. When the claims came before Secretary Woodbury in 1836, he took refuge in an old statute for- bidding the payment of interest, and paid most of the principal of the claims, but | struck out the allowances for delayed pay- | ments. Prior to this Congress had made an indefinite and continuing appropriation {for a full settlement. From this point | down to the present time the East Florida claims, as they are known, have vibrated | between the Department of State and Con- | @ress, and many reports have been made jon the subject. Generally, the executive contended that further congressional ac- | tion was required, while the legislative branch of the government held that it had clothed the executive with ample power to settle the claims and had made the neces sary appropriation. Every Spanish min- ister to Washington in the last fifty years | has pressed for a_ settlement, but so far without success. The present minister, Mr. Muruaga, has taken his turn at them, and [apparently he feels encouraged to belleve that he had advanced toward a settlement, but it cannot be learned here that the end jis yet in sight. It is probable that, togeth | with a number of other Spanish claim ; against the United States and of th United States against Spain, they even- {tually will form the basis ‘for the ap- }pointment of a joint commission, which jis really needed to adjust these com- ‘ plicated and vexatious matters. The amount | of the claims is said to be in the neighbor- | hood of $1,000,000, It is not likely that these ; claims can be regarded as a set off against |the famous Mora claim, inasmuch as the | United States has repeatediy insisted that because of Spain's admission of the sound- J Bosd of this claim it must be considered apart from disputed claims, o- PRINCESS COLO: | 'S CASE, Its Legal Status May Be Affected by a Case Now Pending. It is said by the legal authorities about the United States Supreme Court that the status of the contention between | Prince and Princess Colonna may be ma- | terfally affected by a case soon to be heard | before the court. The differences between | the prince and the princess have recently attracted attention on both sides of the | Atlantic and have been intensified by the princess’ escape with her children from | | France to this country, in spite of a de- {cree in the French courts giving the cus- tody of the children to the prince.

Gov. O’Ferrall’s Message Arouses the Virginia Legislature Against “Law- less Marauders From Maryland.” A second and prolongei battle between thirty Maryland oyster beats and one Vir- ginia oyster police boat at the upper end of Tangier Island, Monday afternoon and night, is reported. It seems that after Saturday’s battle, when Capt. Reed of the police boat Tangier retired because of lack of ammunition, he secured another supply and about thirty men, and returned to the ettack on Monday. About 5 o’clock the steamer Chesapeake, Capt. Hudgins, commander of the Virginia force, appeared on the scene with sixty men aboard, all armed. The two boats opened a vigorous fire at once on the dredgers with cannon and musketry. The attacked vessels replied with Winchester rifies, and firing w kept up until 8 o'clock at night. The moon was full and shone brightly upon the scene. The flashes from the guns were witnessed from the pier at Crisfield, and the boom of cannon and musketry reminded the inhabi- tants of the memorable battle in Hampton Roads in 1882. The schooner S. W. Stephenson, E. T. Lowe, master, and the schooner W. E. Price, W. E. Dize, master, were captured, with their crews, although the masters es- caped in a yawlboat. While doing so their boat was pierced with nine balls. The schooner Stephenson discharged 900 shots from Winchester rifles, and the schooner Price 995 shots, before surrendsring. Six other boats fired an equal number of shots. The steamer Chesapeake is reported to have aa Pilot house riddied and other damage lone. The steamer Chesapeake took her prizes to Tosley, Accomac county, Va., and turned them over to the Virginia authorities. It was reported at Tosley that the schooner James E. Stansbury of Baltimore, Capt. M. White, was sunk in the engagement, and that a cannon ball from the Chesapeake passed through the cabin of the Tony Frost. The Tangier put a cannon ball in the hull of the schooner Moore & Brady. It is also reported that Capt. Thomas of the state schooner Pocomoke captured a Maryland schooner dredging in Pocomoke sound. The people of the Eastern Shore of Virginia are reported to be jubilant over the capture of the vessels, and Gov. O’Ferrall telegraphed his congratulations to Capt. Hudgins. No Yielding to Marauders. Gov. O'Ferrall’s message to the Virginia legislature, described in yesterday's Star, giving an account of Saturday's battle, cre- ated considerable ex~itement. It began by referring to the fact that oys- ters in Tangier and Pocomoke sounds, on the Maryland side, are very scarce, while the beds on the Virginia side are rich. For this reason, the governor said, the dredgers from Maryland are determined, at all haz- ard, to make depredations on the Virginia beds. He said further that the statement that the Virginia sloops-of-war had been de- feated by the marauders was most humiliat- ‘ng to him, and he urged the legislature to take steps at once to put him in the position to defend the honor of Virginia and to pro- tect her interests. He declared that it is not merely a material question, but one in- volving the dignity of the commonwealth. When the clerk of the house of delegates read Gov. O’Ferrall’s peroration, in which the governor asked if Virginia would tamely submit to the high-handed lawlessness of Maryland marauders, ere were vigorous cries of “Never! Neve: The governor's message, in conclusion, recommended the passage, immediately, of an act authorizing the construction of two men-of-war, strong, swift and armed with guns of improved pattern and long range, the cost of which, he thought, would not ex. ceed $15,000. He said he would also be pleased if there could be such reciprocity between Maryland and Virginia as will ai- low the law officers of each state to pursue violators of the law in Tangier and Poco- moke sounds into the waters of the other, and there make arrests. —- fog ood Gibson of which is known as the fighting county of Virginia, rose in his seat, and with great vehemence moved that the governor of Vir- ginia be authorized to declare war against a of Virginia oysters. is was received with great applause. The matter was finally referred to Fare mittee on the Chesapeake. pe oo Culpeper county, GEN. SHELB’ NOMINATION. It is Discussed by the Senate in Exec- utive Sess: 4 Almost the entire time of the executive session yesterday afternoon, amounting to about two hours, was devoted to a discus- sion of the merits of Gen. Joseph O. Shel- by, whose nomination as marshal of the western district of Missourl was under con- sideration. The nomination had been ti ‘orably reported by the committee on Jud ciary without objection, but Senator Chand- ler called attention to a charge made by an ex-confederate in a New York paper to the effect: that elby had, while an officer in the ntederate army, practiced great cruelty toward Union soldiers and others, instancing one raid in which he said Shelk had reported that he had “killed seventy- five soldi negroes and Yankee school teach Mr. Chandler asked for an ex- planation of this statement. Senators Cock. tell and Ve responded by testifying to personal knowlelge of Gen. Sheiby, and said they knew the reports to be without foundation, or greatiy exaggerated. They produced the official reports to show that no such report had been made. Other speeches were made, and the nomination went over without action, because it was discovered that there was not a quurum of the Senate present. ew Charitable Gitts, erday morning’s session of the convention of the Sons of Benjamin at Baltimore the delegates unanimously voted the following contributions: Hebrew Hos- pital and Asylum, $100; Hebrew Orphan Asylum, $100; Hebrew Benevolent Society, $100; Hebrew Friendly Inn, $100; He- brew Literary Society, 50; Talmud Tauro = Societ: The new offi- cers elected were installed as follows: Fer- dinand Levy of New York, grand master.

The Discussion as Continued im the Senate Yesterday After The Star Re- port. Yesterday afternoon, after The Star went to press, the debate on the government Printing office bill was continued for up- wards of an hour, though no action was taken and the bill went over until today. Senator Vest said that it was proposed to pay $175,000 for the 60,000 feet of ground that were to be purchased. If the present site was not utilized, what would be done with the buildings and the land which the sovernment already owned there? They could not be sold except at a sacrifice, and the building was good for nothing except a would have to be a long delay consequent upon the erection elsewhere of a new fire engine house and stable, and the cost would be too great. Mr. Vest predicted that it would not be long before the Baltimore and Ohio tracks would come into the city on a viaduct, which would make North Capitol street a clear thoroughfare from the Capitol to the printing office site.

Senator Carey advocated the selection of the Carroll square just south of the Capitol, only 1,600 feet, as he said, from the new Li- brary building. He pointed out that if econ- omy was an object the purchase of the Property in the printing office square would end in the expenditure of half a million lars, and this was equally true of the the corner of Delaware avenue and C He showed many objections to the lot, and then discussed at length the Square.
