ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DELEGATES Address of Welcome by Mrs. Rich- mond and the Response. OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES a Spiritualists from nearly every state in the country and some from Canada assem- bled in Masonic Temple Hall at 10 o'ci this morning to aticnd the opening session of the convention of the Spiritualists’ An- nual Association of the United States zrd Can vhich will be in session here three days, including today. There was no air cf mystery pervading the meeting, as might have been expected by any one who had never attended one of the gatherings of the people who are as- sociated with mystery, in the minds cf Some at least. The nearly 150 delegates, Gecorated with the badges of the order, yeliow and white ribbon, with the letters - S. A.” upon them, wore smiling face: ard scemed at peace with themselves and the worid in general. To use-an expression of their own mediums, which means much to them every spiritualist, “‘condi- tions” seemed favorable. The hall itself was beautifully decorated with bunting vart-colored, with, of course, the national emblem most conspicuous, ile the English colors were also present, n ne fact of the convention includ- the Dominion of Canada. The platform held a huge bouquet of flowers, near the table of the president, Harrison D. Barrett of Boston, while another rested on the table, and pots of palms were effectively grouped about. In each window was a pot of palms, while the walls were gracefully festooned with green vines, and the back galiery was covered with bunting, the whole making a Kaleidoscope of color, highly pleasing to the ey. Besides the delegates present, there were a number of others who had been attracted by the interest they took in spiritualism, many of these being ladies. It might have been mistaken for a convention of bank- crs, from the air of prosperity which pre- vailed. Officers Present. The officers of the association present are: Harrison D.

The report of the committee on rules was made, and a recess was taken until o'clock. When the convention reconvened President Barrett made his report. The President's Report. dent referred to those who had y during the past year, and The ed D: aw touched upon the general business depres- sion that had militated against the financial success of the association. Notwithstand- ing all adverse conditions, he said, he found «an improved condition in the present status of the spiritualistic movement over any previous = - The mei hip of the National Spirit- alists’ A! ation had increased, he said, per cent during the past year, hence the cause of organic effort among spiritualists onger than ever before. He cited the National Anti-Spiritualist Association as evidence of the fact that its opponents are becoming alarmed as to the increase of interest in spiritualism. Another evidence of progress is the strong determination anifest. on all sides among_ intelligent piritualists to draw the line of demarka- tion between the fraudulent and genuine mediums. He sald the fraud must go. He outlined in detafl the work of the as- sociation during the vear and earnestly re ommended the publication of the proceed- ss of the present convention and the his- of the national association down to The association correspond du: the first six months of the past year more than equaled the entire correspon- dence of the eighteen previous months. ‘ne president further urged that the flies of all spiritualist papers ever published in this country be secured and properly bound for future use at the library of the N tienal Association in this city. He recom- ded that the mass etings be con- tinued next year, numbering two per month for the next eight months, and that sve meetings be heid during the months of May, June, July, August and September of next year. Six state associations, he added, had been organized during the past year, and he recommended that the work of state organization be continued during the coming year. He suggested that the United States and Canada be divided into districts and special missionaries commissioned to those districts in the interests of ‘ational Association. Temperance, political reform, social puri- ty, sanctity of the home, stirpiculture and the denunciation of the doctrine of free love were also strongly urged. The presi- cent also favored a secular form of gov- ernment for the United States, and urged that the association protest against any change in the national Constitution, and advocated the equal and uniform taxation of all church property. The president rec- ommended further that a history of mod- ern spiritualism from 1848 to the present time be immediately undertaken by the National Spiritualists’ Association, and that the work should be placed in the hs nds of Mr. Lyman C. Howe of Fredonia, Statistical Showing. The report of Secretary Woodbury, which followed that of the president, showed that the membership of the association had in- creased 33 per cent the past year. Six state divisions were formed during this time, a temple was dedicated at Norw:ch, Conn., and several large associations set- tled pastors. The Mbrary here has been {n- creased by several hundred volumes, and the Veteran Spiritualists’ Union of Mas: chusetts purchased a home at Waverly for poer spiritualists. The spiritualists, the report stated, had co-operated with others to fight ecclesiastical control of the govern- ment, und had opposed the changing of the Constitution. It was stated in the report that the asso- ciation had determined to put two mission- uries In the field to offset the work of the Anti-Spiritualists’ Association. Other reports were read, and the conve tion adjourned until this evening at 7:30 o'clock.

The recent change in the weather has made a big improvement in the condition of fish and game brought to the local trade from down the river, and in conversation with a Star reporter this morning a dealer said that none of the markets could make a better showing than those in th!s city. Rabbits from the surrounding country have made their appearance in market, although not many of them are yet in good condi- tion. The season for ortolan is fast drawing to a close, and although the ‘birds are scarce, those that are to be had are in excellent condition. There has been so heavy a de- mand for woodcock this season that there are but few of them left. Woodcock has been the bird used at most of the big din- ners this season, and this has exhausted the supply. Reed birds have also been in great de- mand this season, and the cold storage stock is now very small. Wild ducxs are getting more plentiful, and with a few cool nights tt is believed there will be good shooting a few miles down. the .river.,. A few rooks have been received from the lower river, but these ducks, the dealers think, are going to be scarce. The scar- city, tney say, Is the result of the sevcre winter two years ago, when so many of them were frozen in Virginia and North Carolina. A few other ducks are also arriv- ing, but only a small number of them ure in the best of condition. From the west some ducks are being received, and while they are fatter than those being Killed in this section they lack the flavor of the Potomac ducks. Venison is more plentiful than it was a few days ago, and it is received in much better condition, owing to the chaaye in the weather. A few diamond back terrapin from the Potomac and James rivers have arrived, and they are bringing the usual algh prices. Spanish mackerel, thought by fisasrmen to be one of the nicest varieties of fish taken from the Potomac, are getting sca ree, and the few that are arriving are bringing exorbitant prices. Rock fish caught in the Potomac have not been equal to the de- mand, and local dealers have had to de- rend upon the big catches at Havre de Grace for their supplies. Big mouth bass are being caught in large numbers, and a few of the small mcuth variety are also coming in. Six bass weigh- ing nine pounds were caught at (unston yesterday, and sent here to a local dealer. The largest one was of the small :nouth variety, and weighed about three pounds. When a svell of cold weather shall come around the dealers expect to et plenty of p'ke and yellow perch, for these fish then make their way to the creeks and the small seines in operation will in all probability catch erough to supply the market. Some extra fine white perch are being caught down the river by the trappers. ——.—__- CRASHES INTO A CAR. Mail Wagon Colli ih a Metro- politan Electric Motor. The United States mail, or a portion of it, at least, was brought to a sudden halt shortly after 9:40 o'clock this morning, at the intersection of 5th and E streets, through the medium of a collision between a heavy mail wagon and a train drawn by niotor car No. 330 of the Metropolitan Ralil- way Company. As a‘ result, several per- sons who were passengers in the car have not yet recovered from 4’ severe fright, and the roadway at the point mentioned is not at all desirable as a course for bicycle riders, being strewn with broken glass. _ According to eye-wftnessés, as the elec- tric railway train approdiched E_ street along Sth street, frory the Horth, at an or- dinary rate of speed, ‘the Mail wagon was drawing near 5th street long E street, frcm the west, the horses moviag at a tepid pace. The driver of the mail wagon was bound for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad depot. Noticing the street railway train, so say several who witnessed the ccilision, the driver checke& his horses, but a moment later, changing his mind, at- tempted to pass in front of the train. He was too late. The tongue of the mail wa- wen struck the front of the motor car, and a3 the motorman was unable to bring the train to a standstill promptly, the tongue scraped along the side of the motor and shattered every pune of glass in the win- dews on that side of the car. Luckily, and almost miraculously, no one was injured, although the car was well filled with yas- scngers at the time. The crash of the coltision attracted the attention of pedestrians for several blocks. The mafl wagon hastened on toward. the depot without delay. The running of the cars was interrupted but a few mo nents, a Local Pensions. ‘The following pensions have been granted: District of Columbia—George G..Curtiss, James R. Reily, Thomas M.

Bishop Satterlee the Presiding Of- ficer—Topics of Addresses and Papers—Evening Program. A convention of the Sunday school work- ers of the diccese of Washington was be- gun shortly before noon today in the chapel of the Church of the Epiphany, Rev. Dr. R. H. Mckim, rector. Previous to the opening of the convention religious services were held in the church proper, during which an appropriate ser- mon was delivered by Dr. McKim, followed by holy communion. The convention was called to order at 12 o'clock by Bishop Satterlee, who made a five-minute address, during which he told of Christ's love for children, and de- plored the neglect of them in some coun- tries. He had himself, he said, seen in the holy land skeletons of children who had been left by the wayside to_die. He urged his hearers to have a high aim in their Sunday school work. He felt distressed, he said, that there were such a large number of persons present, paradoxical as that seemed to be, because he feared that where so many were assembled the pres- ence of Christ would not be felt as mucn as if there were fewer. If, however, all were earnest he would feel rejoiced that he had been disappcinted. The Delegates Present. Dr. L. W. Glazebrook was elected secre- tary. The call of the roll showed that celegates were present from the following parishes: Ascension, 9; St. Thomas’, 7; Epiphany, 24; Epiphany Chapel, 8; Chapel of Good Shepherd, 1; Grace, 1; Incarnation, 1; St. John’s, Washington, . Mark's, St. Mary's, St. M.chaei’s and Ail Angels’ Trinity, 6 St. Mat thew's, 9; St. John’s, Georgetown, 7; Im- manuel, Anacostia, 1; St. Paul’s Church, Rock Greek parish, 2; Advent, 2; Church of Our Savior, St. Stephen’s, Mount Pleasant, 4; St. Alban’s, 1; Church of Our Savior, Brookiand, 1; mission at Langdon, 1; Ascension Miss.cn’ for Colored People, 1. Prayer was offered for missions, B:shop Satterlee leading. Rev. Dr. McKim offered a resolution, which was adopted, that a committee of seven—three clergymen and four laymen, and of which the bishop should be chair- man—be appointed to take into considera- tion the propriety of form.ng a Sunday school institute for the diocese of Wash- ington. $ The bishop named as members of the ; committee Rev. Dr. McKim, Rev. Mr. Harding, Messrs. E. S. Hutchinson, John O. Johnson, Rolia P. Currie and Barnabas Bryan. Bishop Satterlee requested that the committee meet him at 5 o'clock this afternoon. “The Functions and Management of the Sunday School” was the subject of a paper read by Bishop Satterlee. The bishop dwelt at great length on the proper kind of people to be selected as teachers in the Sunday school, and the manner in whicn the schools ought to be managed. Dr. McKim in the Chair. After reading his paper, Bishop Satterlee announced that he was compelled to leave the convention to attend another meeting, and called Dr. McKim to the chair. The latter presided tor the remainder of the session. At 1 o'clock recess was taken. Upon reassembling, papers were read on “Sunday School Lessons" by Mr. A. K. Parris and Mr. John O. Johnson. After general discussion of this topic, Dr. J. F. Billard and Rev. Carl E. Grammer of the Theological Seminary are expected to read papers on “Advanced Class Teach- ing.” During the meeting, Rev. H. L. Duhring of Philadelphia will make an address on “Object Teaching—Illustrative Methods.” This evening the program is: ‘Sunday School Services,” papers by Messrs. Rolla P. Currie and E. S. Hutchinson; ‘Teac! ers’ Meetings,” paper by Dr. D. Percy Hickling; report of committee on organiza~ ticn, and closing service. AMBASSADOR CAMBO) The Diplomat Who Will Represent France in This Country. M. Julcs Martin Cambon, who succeeds M. Patenotre as French ambassador at Washington, stands high in the government service of the French republic, and will undoubtedly prove an acquisition to the local diplomatic circle. He is a younger brother of M. Pierre Paul Cambon, French ambassador to Turkey, and at present holds the office of governor general ot Algeria. He was bern in Paris, in April, 1845, and, having adopted the legal profession, he was admitted to practice as an advocate in 1866. During the Franco-Prussian war he served with credit as a captain in the division of Seine-et-Marne. After the war Was over he was attached in the capacity of a chief of bureau to the Algerian gov- M. Jules Martin Cambon. ernment department. In 1879 he was made general secretary to the prefecture of po- lice of the Seine, and in 1882, when his brother, M. Paul Cambon, left tlre prefecture of the department of the Nord to assume the position of French resident in Tunis, M. Jules Cambon was chosen to succeed him. Seven years later he was transferred to the prefecture of the Rhone, and since 1891 he has been acting as governor general of Algeria. He is a commander of the Legion of Honor. It is not expected that the change at Washington will take place for several weeks. Ambassador Patenotre will remain here until his successor arrives, and will personaliy conduct the negotiations fcr a scheme of commercial reciprocity be- tween France and the United States, under the terms of the Dingley tariff law. ee eee eee CANVASS CONTINUED. No Figures Yet.From House-to-House Visitation. Complete returns from the canvass that was undertaken by the Sunday School Union of this District to ascertain by a house-to-house visitation the church con- nections, &c., of the residents of the city have not been received by the committee. It was found to be impossible to complete the work on Saturday last, and so the can- vass is still going on. Of course, it is not expected that this great undertaking will be accomplished completely and fully as to the entire territory covered. However, it is known that there will be returns from each of the fifteen districts, and a large number of the subdivisions have already been canvassed or the work is now in progress. The canvassers have met with difficulties, as was expected, and in some cases they have been unable to get any in- formation about the pecple they have call- ed upon, principally because they could not find the persons. In some of the divisions the canvassers have not fuily performed their work, and there have been instances of inefficiency. Taking it all in all, it is thought by those interested in the practi- cal execution of this scheme that much information of value will be obtained and much good will be accomplished. —>_—__ According to a report made by the eighth precinct police, the board walk in front of a 2217 15th street is in a dangerous con- FINANCIAL | FINANCIAL.
