Convention Two Years Hence. The trustees of the United Societies of Christian Endeavor at Boston have de- cided upon San Francisco as the place for holding the convention in 1897. The meeting in Tent Willistone last night was perhaps the greatest of the three. The address of Rev. Russell H. Conwell drew a great crowd; an address by..Rev. Teunis Hamlin, D.D., of this city, whose subject was “Washington, '06,” was a very strong effort, while Mr. W. H. Pen- nell of this city spoke in Tent Endeavor on the same subject. Addresses by Dwight F. Moody at the Mechanics’ building and by John G. Wool- ley, the Chicago temperance lecturer, who spoke in Tent Endeavor on the “Christian Endeavor vs. the Saloon,” were also great attractions. The choruses, too, at all three meetings surpassed all that has yet been attampted in music since the meeting be- gan. Eight hundred singers were in- cluded in that at Mechanics’ Hall, and each of the tents had a quota of not less than 600. General Secretary John Willis Baer of Boston presided at Mechanics’ Hall, Gen- ral Treasurer William Shaw of Boston led the meeting in Tent Willistone, and Trustee Rev. J. Z. Tyler, D.D., of Cleve- land directed affairs in Tent Endeavor. The denominational rallies held in the afternoon in twenty-seven churches, halls and tents were attended by thousands of delegates belonging to the twenty-seven denominations represented at the conven- ticn. More than one hundred clergymen and laymen spoke at these meetings on almost as many subjects. According to the secretary there has been a gain of 7,550 societies in the year, the largest increase for any consecutive twelve months during the fourteen years of the body’s existence. The total number of societies is 41,229, including 2,645 in the united kingdom; Australia, 1,509; Africa, 80; China, 82; France, 64; India, 117; Japan, 69; Madagascar, 93; Mexico, 25; Turkey, 39; West India Islands, ‘63, and so on until every covntry is represented, save five— Itoly, Russia, Helen’: Sweden and Greece. The total membership 1s 2,473,740. In the United States the denominational representation is as follows: The Presby- terlans still lead with 5,283 young people’s vocieties and 2,269 junior societies; the Con- gregationalists have 3,990 young people’s societies and 1,908 junior societies; the Disciples of Christ and Christians, 2,687 young people’s societies and 862 junior so- Cieties; the Baptists, 2,683 young people’s sccieties and 801 junior societies; Metho- dist Episcopal, 931 young people’s socie- ties and 391 junior societies; Methodist Protestants, $53 young people's societies and 247 junior societies; Lutherans, 798 young people’s societies and 245 junior societies; Cumberland Presbyterians, 699 young people's societies and 231 junior so- cieties, and so on. +o Fire at Rock Enon. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCK ENON, Va., July 11, 1898. At about 3 o'clock this morning fire broke out in the boiler house of the Rock Enon Hotel, at the famous springs, which are so much frequented by Washinston people. The entire supply of hot water for the baths 1s derived from this boiler house. The guests were much alarmed, and for a time is waa feared that the main hotel building would be involved in the conflagration. Some of the ladies fainted, and Mrs. Pratt, the wife of the proprietor, was prostrated by the shock. Prompt work with the fire hose kept in readiness at the hotel quickly subdued the fire in the boiler house and warded off all danger. Had the wind been stronger it is likely a disastrous fire would have occurred. The damage done amounts to $500, and it is believed that it will be necessary to get a new boiler. For some time there was great danger of the boiler exploding. ee Officers Elected. The Brott Rapid Transit Company have elected the following directors: L. A. Grant, N. L. Jeffries, J. J. Hemphill, C. M. Shelley, Jos. J. Reynolds, E. 8. Parker, B. Robinson, V. D. Stockbridge and Geo. F. Brott. The directors have elected the fol lowing officers: L. A. Grant, presiden’ Geo. F. Brott, vice president; P. T. Little, secretary; E. 8. Parker, treasurer. Ni RIETY SEEKING BUSYBODIES,. Senator Hill's Characterization of New York’s Police Commissioners. Senator David B. Hill has written two letters in reply to requests for an opinion as to the propriety of requesting the gov- ernor to call an extra session of the legis- lature for the enactment of a more liberal excise law in New York city. In one to ‘Theodore M. Roche, president of the Young Men’s Democratic Union, he says: “I should certainly favor a suggestion if I believed that it would result in any prac- tical relief. I realize the arbitrary, harsh and technical manner in which the law is now being enforced by the busybody and notoriety-seeking police commissioners of your city; but I fail to discover any effect- ual remedy in the suggestion of an appeal to the governor and the present legislature. It is evident that Gov. Morton would not grant the application, and if granted, the present legislature would not afford the relief desired. Those who are urging a legislative session seem to overlook the fact that the Puritans ‘are now in the saddle,’ both in Albany and New York city Gov.Mcr- ton was born in Vermont, and apparently inherits the illiberal tendencies and the prejudices on the excise question which characterized the rabid republicans of that state. “Relief can only be anticipated through the action of a democratic legislature to be chosen next fall, with a democratic major- ity sufficient to pass a liberal measure over @ governor's veto.” The second letter written to Benjamin Hoffman of New York is of a similar teyor. ——____+ e+ _____ THE ELKS ADJOURN. Wm. G. Meyers Elected Grand Exalted uler. In view of Wednesday night's accident, yesterday's meeting of the Elks was not so largely attended as the previous ses- sion. The first matter brought up for con- sideration was the unfortunate affair, and the Grand Lodge adopted a resolution ex- tending sympathy to all members of the order who were themselves or members of whose families were injured in the acci- dent, and instructing the grand trustees to inquire into the condition, pliysical and financial, of the injured Elks. ‘The committee on laws and appeals re- ported adversely on the proposition to es- tablish state grand lodges, and to make the present Grand Lodge a supreme lodge. The new ritual of the order was presented end adopted. It is said to be unlike that of any other order, and distinctively Elk- ish in character. Reports of other commit- tees on routine business were also read. ‘The afternoon session was devoted to the consideration of routine business, includ- ing a number of unimportant amendments to the constitution. The place of the next meeting was left to the grand trustees, who will make a selection and report to the subordinate lodges béfore January 1 next. These officers were elected: Grand ex- alted ruler, Wm. G. Meyers, Philadelphia; grand esteemed leading knight, George A. Reynolds, Hartford, Conn.; grand esteemed loyal knight, B. M. Allen, Birmingham, Ala.; grand esteemed lecturing knight, W. H. McDermith, Columbus, Ohio; grand treasurer, Percy G. Williams, Brooklyn, N. Y.; grand secretary, George A. Rey- nolds, Saginaw, Mich.; board of grand trustees, W. C. Vanderlip, Boston; Jos. B. Loube, Richmond, Va.; Edwin B. Hay, Washirston, D. C.; grand tyler, George W. June, Indianapolis. The convention then adjourned. es He Stole Lamps. George Wasson, the boy who was arrest- ed several days ago by Detectives Weedon and Horne, because he stole carriage lamps and o:her property belonging to the estate of the late John M. Young, as printed in The Star at the timo, was taken to the Po- lice Court this morning and arraigned. He plead guilty to three charges. The officers have recovered a number of lamps and cther property. Nothing was known of the theft until the officers learned that the lamps were being sold by the boy, and had the discovery not been made there would have been a shortage when the time for making the settlement arrived. Judge Mil- ler heard the explanaticn of the case, as made by the officers, anc gave the boy six months in jail. LATE SPORTING NEWS Prof. H. 8. Whitdof Cornell Discusses the Leander Fiasoo, ma The Amcricans’"Husiness to Row, but a Private Trifi‘Later Would Have Been Properqiinglish Comments. ITHACA, N. ¥:, ‘July 12.—Prot. Horatio S. White of Cgrngll University, an old Harvard athlete, shows in what light the Cornell defeat is-viewed by the navy offi- clals here. Prof.yWhite said: “In review- ing the outcome of the Henley regatta, so far as Cornell is concerned, we feel that the unfortunate termination of the trial is greatly to be deplored. It was the earnest desire of Cornell to meet the Leander crew, and, if possible,-n the first round. It was the manifest business of the Cornell crew, having been duly and officially started, and in the absence of any information as to the difficulty with the other boat, to row over the course and to leave to the officials the duty of settling afterward any irregulari- ties which might have occurred. “At the same time, the general desire in Ithaca was that if the regulations of the regatta should rule Leander out, a private race might, nevertheless, be arranged be- tween Leander and Cornell. Almost uni- versal here is the feeling of regret that the previous friendly relations which had ap- peared to ex'st on all sides should have been marred by such’an unhappy misun- derstanding, and this regret is greater than any disappointment at the loss of the sec- ond heat. “As to the inferences to be drawn from the breakdown against Trinity Hall, the first is that the Cornell crew were badly overtrained. ‘The period of preparation with some of the members of the crew had begun last September on account of their connection with the foot ball team, and with all had continued almost without in- termission since January. The practice on Cayuga lake before leaving was unusu- ally severe, and the period of practice in England was too monotonous and pro- longed.” Protest Against British Humbug. LONDON, July 12.—A letter signed “Harry Williams,” appears in the Sportsman, pro- testing against British Pharisaism in rais- ing up their voices to give thanks “that we are not as other nations.” He says that he had never known a crew to start over again except to add effect to a fore- gone victory. “It ought to be remembered,” the writer goes on, “that the Cornell men are’ our guests. They were drawn against the pick of our rowers and had others to study as well as themselves. That they can nobly row was fully demonstrated when, against the head of Cambridge, they right man- fully struggled till nature would no more of it. Good wishes for better fortune go with them.” Cornell Has No Excuses, A communication has been addressed to the Sporting Life on behalf of the Cornell crew, and signed by Freeborn; “In view of the discussion- of the action of Cornell ‘In Tuesday's race, ‘we belleve that Cornell’s Position in the matter should be clearly de- fined. at “Under the rul¢s Roverning racing, as we understand them, had Cornell not rowed over the course ‘we Would have been Mable to disqualificatiom from entry in any sub- sequent heat, and thereby debarred from further competing tw the Grand cup race. “No one can “hegret the outcome of the lamentable affatt more than the members of.the Cornell crew; @o.. They certainly dtd not come to Engjand to claim a race with Leander or any other crew by default. ’ “The crew never authorized any state- ment to the efféct that Cornell would not consider a proposition for another trial with Leander. However, we did not feel at liberty to suggestsuch a contest till the remaining heats’ were decided. Certainly, it would have béen’'premature on our part to take any action,-in the matter, before our heat with Trinity, since Leander would undoubtedly not-cate to row had we been defeated by anotter crew.''So far as Cor- nell is: concerned in the Grand race, we acknowledge defeat, after a hard race with ‘Trinity. We-have no excuses to offer. We were fairly beaten. “We take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to the English public for the many courtesies extended to us during our sojourn.” MUST THE QUICK STROKE Got Non-Experts Say It Must Give Way to the Lor ger and Slower One. “The short, quick stroke will not do,” is the verdict of many careless observers, bearing in mind Cornell's defeat at Henley. One solemn ignoramus says that years of study by the best masters have reached the conclusion that the longer, slower stroke used by Yale and the English covers more ground than the quicker, shorter and jerk- jer movement, which the writer character- izes as the Cornell. stroke. Cornell's defeat is regarded as proof of the insufficiency of the short stroke. How then explain the speed attained by Cornell in her practice rows over the Henley course? The best time made by the English crews during the recent regatta was 7m. 15s., made by Trinity Hall in the race with Cornell. Cor- nell rowed over the course last Saturday in 7m. 4s., and according to the telegraphic reports repeatedly covered the course in 7m. 15s. Cornell with her short stroke beat in practice best time made at Henley this year. How can the result of the race then condemn the short stroke? A mistaken notion exists In America that the English confine themselves to a long, slow stroke. Mr. B. P. rs, an old Ox- ford man, and a member of a winning Grand Challenge cup crew, said before the regatta: “During the Grand Challenge race I am quite certain that none of the English crews will fall below forty strokes to the minute, and they are likely to reach forty- two or more. I remember in one race in which I took part for the challenge cup we made an astonishingly quick start. Our trainer, who times us, said we rowed ninety-six strokes the first two minutes, and we lost the race after all by about two feet.” Mr. Fortmyer, secretary of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, remarks: “T am a great believer in the Cornell stroke of the distance rowed today, and I think that if all the men had been in proper fix the Trinity Hall boys would have found an extremely difficult job on their hands.” It might be added that Cornell holds the world’s three-mile record for eights. FORFEITED THE GAME. Mall Handlers Could Do Little Else With District Cémmissioners’ Team. With the score 18:to 3 against them, the City Post Officg forfeited the game yes- terday to tho District Commissioners. Up to the fourth innifig the mail handlers could do noting with Fitzgerald's delivery, and, as they made'error after error, and were rapidly making the contest a farce, the umplre decided to call the game in favor of the Commissioners by the score of 9 to 0. This decision knocked the District boys out of fattening their batting aver- ages, but, as the victory puts them one New York’s' Latest Hotel.

Does Not Like the Idea of Yale Representing All Athletics. H. L. Geylin, president of the University of Pennsylvanta athletic committee, in speaking of the reply of Oxford and Cam- bridge to his letter of June 28, in reference to international games, says: “Briefly summed up the situatton would seem to be this: The Intercollegiate Asso- ciation sent a challenge early in March in- viting Oxford and Cambridge to organize a team of representative athletes of Great Britain to meet them in games !n England this summer. To that reply it was said that owing to Oxford's obligation to meet Yale, if insisted on by them, they (Oxford and Cambridg>) cannot accept the Inter- collegiate Association's invitation. Yale, though a member of the association. insists on her privilege and Oxford and Cambridge challenge Yale and Harvard to games to be held in this country. Harvard, however, declines to be a party in accepting the challenge. Oxford und Cambridge decline Yale's acceptance to meet them together and Cambridge accepts to meet Yale under certain conditions. in this country. “The universities of this country must again submit to have the question of the relative strength of American and English universities in track and field sports deter- mined by a contest in which Yale shall represent them.” CAN CARRY GREAT SAIL. New England Yachtsmen Enthusias- tie Over Defender. Defender was taken out yesterday from Bristol and given her first trial under full racing sails. Defender showed up in mag- nificent form, and fully met the great ex- pectations raised by her first spins on Sat- urday and Sunday, in which she carried only her mainsail and lower head sails. Great disappointment was caused by Vigilaht’s failure to accompany and race with her, but E. A. Willard, who manages Vigilant ‘for the Goulds, was unexpectedly detained in New York, and Captain Barr refused to race in his absence. Mr. Wil- lard has wired that he will be on hand to- day to give Defender as hard a race as she will ever be called upon to sail. Defender was timed repeatedly at fifteen seconds in stays from full to full, spinning around on her heels like a top. She has an enormous advantage over Vigilant in this important particular. She stood up like a church under her great cloud of canvas. Her rail was never within a foot of the water. She can undoubtedly carry a still greater spread of sail to advantage, and Oliver Iselin stated last night that she would al- most certainly be fitted with a larger suit. There has never before been such enthu- slasm among New England yachtsmen as Defender’s phenomenal showing has aroused. THE ANALOSTAN REGATTA, To Be Rowed in Front of the Club House Tomorrow Afternoon. It is the usual custom of boat clubs to hold a club regatta at the beginning of each season for the purpose of determin- ing the make-up of the crews that are to be eutered in outside events.

M. ©. A. Convention. At the thirty-first international conven- tion of the Young Men’s Christian Assocla- tion, held at Springfield a few weeks ago, there was an interesting exhibition of the educational work accomplished by the va- rious local organizations. The exhibit rep- resented sixty-six- associations and forty- four different studies, and attracted con- siderable attention as being the work of an organization of 23,000 students. The international committee has placed in the charge of Mr. George B. Hodge, the international educational secretary, the choicest specimens in that exhibition, and this: he is now taking around the country se that different communities can form an estimate of the work that is being done, and also for the purpose of bringing busi- ness men and others into contact with the system that is being followed.

A large crowd gathered about the Met ropolitan M. E. Church late yesterday ternoon witnessed a thrilling sight. Two expert steeple climbers ascended to the very top of the lofty steeple for the pur- pose of making an examination of its con- dition. They made the ascent from a little platform built out beneath the highest window, nimbly climbing a rope rigging that looked like a mere cobweb from be- low. For some time there has been an impression that the steeple was in rather a shaky condition, and some people have gone so far as to express the opinion that it might fall if there were a heavy wind storm. In order to allay any such appr hension the authorities of the church cal ed in the services of an architect, who hi had the examination made, and if any repairs are found necessary they will be attended to, so as to place the steeple in a thoroughly satisfactory condition. ————— He Was Drowned.
