CONVENTION CLOSED AMID WILD SCENES Delegntes Forced to Abandon the Tent as & Itenult of the Threats of Tloodlums from the French Quarter of the City. MONTREAL, July 9.—When the big tent of 4he Christian Endeavorers was examined this merning, it was found that some of the ropes had been cut by the hoodlums lust night. Although assured of ample police protection Sceretary Baer thought it better to call the tent meeting off. The program was carried out efsewhere, however, The closing scenes inside the drill hall tonight were characterized by much warmth and enthusiasm. Outsile the scenc was equally impressive in another way. Thous- ands of people were congregated on the Champ de Mars and on Craig street in front of the hall and for blocks to the east and west. The element of a riot was there in full force. The talk about Karmarhar's ill-timed re- marks had spread ull over the French part of Montreal and in the crowd were muny who burned at vhe insult. OThere were thousands assembled who had resolved to protect the Christian Kndeay- orers when they left the hail if n ary. Occasionally the voluntcers and their ad- herents fell into line and marched around the block, enclosing the Champ de Mars, and the opposing crowd did likewise, marching around the block to the west of the Champ de Mars. They eyed each other jealously, moment the bitter feeling - In evidence of this the partisan were shouted by thousands of lusty voices and pandemonium rejgned. Every Ono Expected n Riot, This was the situation when the doors of the hall were thrown open. Everybody ex- pected a riot. The delegates emerged from the hall and turned to the west end. In- stantly the volunteers formed a cordon at the edge of the sidewalk and handkerchiefs were produced and held around their necks. This was the distinguishing badge. No one without it could approach the kEndeavorers from the opposite side of the stand. Slowly and without any manifestation of alarm the delegates made their way along. “Then came @ burst of song. ‘At the 88, at the Cross,” floated out upon the air and the re- sult was something wonderful. Almost perfect silence fell upon the crowd. flhe Frenchmen on the Champ de Mars stood silently gazing at the procession of Endeuvorers, which marched to the time of the piece of music they were singing. All emerged and passed out of the dangerous lo- cality in safety. The militi who had nlo\\'iy moved west with the crowd, turned right about face and marched down east to a short distance below the drill hall, singing “Onward, Christian Soldiers, Marching as to War.” * Disturbed by French-Canadians. At 2 o'clock when the mecting in the tent was called to order a large number were there to hear Anthony Comstock of New York ia his address “Foes to Society, Church and State.” It was weli received. During its delivery, a large crowd of not too well dressed French-Canudians gathered on the court and pulice staton steps and peered at the speakers plntfog zhmuwgdn‘):% where the canvas had been dropped 1o let in the air, At this stago they were quict, but they became noisy afterwards and had 10 be dispersed by the police, and one of the leaders was taken nto custody. This sum- mary action _induced them to scatter after singing the “Mareiliaise? as a sort of re- joinder to “Stand Up for Jesus” which was sung at the close of Mr. Comstock’s address. Foes to Church, Sovlety and State. Coming directly to his text, Mr. Comstock nominated the foes to church, society and state as intemperance, gambling and evil reading. Of the three, the last was the worst that the world had to contend with. Why? Because of its eful effect upon the young people. A child’s heart was a chamber of imagery. The four walls of that chamber must be decorated. The child ear- ried into it many pictures, and this spirit of evil stood by secking to wurn the child's mind in the direction of that which was bad. What agency could do more to corrupt thun the impressions formed by reading evil lit- erature? [t lefta picture that could not be turned to the wall; a picture that haunted natious forever afterward, try ever so to blot it out. It was no small thing to stand between these chambers and the “beasts of prey and worse than beasts of prey.” This matter would leave u stain on the purest mind that only the grace ot God would remove. This matter was being dis- seminated through the mails into Canada and all parts of the United States, What He Had Found in the Malls.

Charles Perry Mills of Newbury. port, Mass., brought the meeting in the big teut to a close, Sixteen Thousand In Atteudance. Before the adjournment the treasurer made the official announcement that the number of delegates attending the conve tion was 16,000, He also assured the timid delegates that no violence need be feared at the evening session of the arill hall meeting, for ample police protection had been asked for and promised. However, it was not deemed nJ\'iinblu 10 hold an evening service in the tent. ‘This anunouncement was veceived in si- usuul the drill hall was crowded this noon. ‘The meeting was more than ly enthusiustic, probably because the convention was nedring its close. Rev Bishop Samuel Tallows of Chicago was the presiding oficer while the ordinary routine of the proceedings were enlivened by cornet duets, Au address on “Gospel Temperauce” was given by Mr. Francis Murphy, the tewper- wnce evangelist. His speech was of the ordinary probibition charapter. A native Canadian, Mr. A. W. Milbury, now of New York, then told the conveution just “How to Reach the Masscs.” His advice to his hearers was simple, “Ciet out after them." Au address on the “Religious Press, its Purt in Our Work,” was next delivered by Kev. K. A, Dupuing of Bostou, Dr. Douglass on Soclal Purity, “Soclal Purity,” by Rev. Dr. Douglass of Moutreal, the most prominent Mothodist divine in Canada, wus expeeted 1o ve of o rather sensational nature. The venerable preacher is such a determined opponent of the Roman Catholic church that something of u sturtling uature was looked for. Doug- lass had therefore to submit his manuscript 10 the convention censors.

The tent program for tonight was carried owt in_St. James Methodist church in th English part of the city the cons cration sefmon was preached by the Rev Fay Mills, the well known American ¢ gehst. The drill hall was divided into states at the closing meeting and fully 10,000 people, in_spite of the riot rumors, were present. It was the grand wind up of the twelfth annual conventio Rev. 1. H. Lewis of Westminster, Md., preached the closing sermon. Couseeration services brought the formal proceedings to a close. The opening of the World's fair on Sunday is a favorite topic of discussion among the Christian Endeavorers, They were at it again this afternoon in the drill hall and Mr. V. Towsley of the Chicago committee of the He sent a telegram referring to President Palmer’s motion for the closing of the gates on Sun- day, stating that the motion was to be sot- tled July 11, and if the committee was well represented, the rule for Sunday closing would be fed. Again in the evening when the general resolutions were read ana endorsed unani- mously they contained resolutions solemnly protesting against thie-desecration of Sunday by the opening of the Columbian exposition on that day, deploring the action of the local directory in the matter as contrary to the will of the people and a; flagrant breach of good faith, and declaring that the local dircctory of the fair has brought lasting rrace upon the exposition. Snthusiastic Endeavorers got up on their chairs and hurrahed at this, while the ladies ved their handkerchiefs and added their voices to the general uproar. Then the meeting held silent prayer for a minute and the chairman prayed audibly for those committeemen who are in favor of the closing. con el HONOLULU AFFAIRS.

Tnformation from a trustworthy source at kliffe this evening is that telegrams ve been ved contirming Miller's state- ments as to where he was July 4 and Miller's story was that he was at Bist ik, Mo, the morning of July 5, and no one has brought forward any evidence to thecon- trary.

[Copyrightcd 1593 by James Gordon Bennett.] Marra, July 9.—[New York Herald Cable ~Special to Tug Bee]—The widely pub- lished story of the touching and heroic scene on the bridge of the ill fated Victoria during the minute before her capsizing, when Vice Admiral Tryon is reported as telling Mid- shipman Lanyon: ‘Jump, save yourself,” to which Lanyon replied: “I would rather stay with you, sir,” is, I believe, wholly ape- cryphal. Every drowned midshipman doubt- less dicd bravely, and as a man should die, without cry or entreaty, but the cold facts do not warrant any confidence in the Lanyon incident. When Dr. Eilis, after having been sucked far down by the sinking Victorin, rose to the surface, greatly exhavsted, he saw the ad- miral's coxswain safely occupying the center of a large ife buoy. Dr. Ellis latd his hand on the buoy for a moment's rest, when the coxswain told him to go away. This is the sole blot on the otherwise splendid behavior of everybody. The tension of the survivors' nerves was curiously ilMistrated last night when a mid- shipman and a marine jumped overboard from the Orion while under the influence of nightmare. Both men dreamed that they were again about to sink with the Victoria. Both men were saved. A conspicuously gallant and unselfish act was performed by Lieutenant Furquharson of the Royal Marines, who, coming upon Vice Admiral Tryon's secre! Mr. Paw- sey, while the latter, bruised, exhausted, helpless and hopeless, was about to finally sink, supported him ith difficulty, but suc- cessfully, until both wese picked up by the rescuing boats. Another heroic action was that of Naval Cadet Robert West, who distiuctly saved the life of Commauder Jellicoe, who was ill and powerless to help himself. Commander Jellicos had been brought up from the: sick bay by Dr. Elhs, but they became separated after the Victoria capsized. Both Far- quharson and West, the latter a mere boy, are the two heroes of the Vactoria disaster. ADDRESSED BY BISMARCK, Strong States Rights Sentiment of the Prince Eiiclts Enthuslasm, Beruiy, July 9.—About 400 excursionists from the principality of Lippe Detmolt wisited Prince Bismarck in Freidrichsruhe today. Both the prince and the princess responded to the cheers of the excursionists Dby appearing on the balcony of the palace. Prince Bismarck made a notable speech concerniug the relations of fhe smaller cxpressed the opinion that their parliaments ought to influence the policy of the empire more powerfully by criticising the_action of their representatives in the federal council of the empire. The number ot votes held in the federal council should not bediminished, lest the German ewpire be supplanted by a great all-controlling Prussin, The prince coneluded with these remarkable word: “Youare seventeen free states having a single vote each in the federal council. 17 I de- duct the Hanseatic cities, which differ sorad- lly from all the others, there are fourteen ch stat nd fourteen votes in the fed- al council are a weighty matter if they koep If_added to the Prussian votes, ¢ would give Prussia a majority of the council. The council may be di- s it were, in three categories—the small states with @ vote cach, Prussia wi cighiteen votes, and the middie states tenty-four votes. Thus you sce what weight the small states have. I wonder no politician has arisen in one_or the other of them to turn this state of affairs to account. Kegrets of the Prince, 1 regret the fact that the national idea has not caught_fire in the parliaments and goy- ernments of the federated states as twenty or twenty-five years ago 1 hoped it would. Unfortunately, I am not strong enough to appear in the Reichstag. You must thore- fore oxcuse me if in a political occasion, such as your greeting creates, 1 inflict_upon you my jeremiades. (Loud applause). I hope tnings will change 1 time and that the bureaucrats whom Arminus conquered will 1ot become autocrats again. “There is danger at present that they will onco more, with their bloodless, oppressive hubits, giin dominion over us, and that what the sword has won will be lost. 1 will not say by the pens of diplomats, but by burcatcricy, by officialism, by the lazy, di- latory policy of waiting for others to do what is necessary; of waiting, in fact, for the government to do it. 'The princes are well-intentioned ~gentlemen, but they nece: Iy are dependent on the ofticials, the min- d councillors. “My fear and_anxiety for the future is that the national idea may be stifled in the coils of the boa constricter of bureaucracy which has grown rapidly in the last few s, Only the federal council and the shistag can help here, and the former has the right to assert itself. 1f the statesman- like, in sight of burcaucracy, do not suffer, the opportunity is offered to the members of the federal couneil and Reichstag to come to the front with men of intelligenco, working in havmony for tho highest interests of the atters of Much Importance. 1 wish to emphasizo the fact that T at- tach the greatest importance, nov to dis- cussions in the federal council, but the right of members of the federal council to speak whenever they please in the Leichstag.

To this end it is uecessary that God should preserve the house of your priuce, 1 therefore beg you o join me in wishing that iod may graut long life to Waldemar, priuce of Lippe.” 5 Iepeated cheers were given for the priuce.

GEORGE'S IATTLE ROMANCE, Duke of York Alloged to Have Bees-Mar. ried Bofore He Wedded May of Teck. Nothing has baen said publicly here. that is since the announcemfent of the betrothal, about the painfully suppressed romance un- derlying this latést and most pompous of royal weddings, cables Harold Frederic from London to the New York Times. Probably the London papers of that date observed a discreet silence Abowt Mrs. Fitzherbert when George the Fourth wedded the {ll- omened Caroline. But it is hardly without significance that the Daily News yesterday printed a long account of this bygone mar- riage scandal, or that one of ‘the papers Wednesday morning eontained an obscure reference to a nameless beautiful lady at vhe state performance of the opera on the pre- vious evening. Vague reports of & story reached London months ago, and were kept within narrow circles for a time. It flost began to spread because o rich tradesman received a hint from a friend who was in the secret to in- sure his ventule in_wedding presents, ete., against a possible failure of the marriage. Last Wednesday the report becam esuddenly so definite that long odds wagers are said to have actually boen at Loyd's against éu marriage taking place the following ) A Of course it fs well nigh impossiblo ot a tangible corroboration of a tale of this characterwhen so masly powerfulones of the earth are vitally concerned in shutting itup. Enough solidity xists to the various phases. of the stery, however, to make it clear - that #ill have a definite -place In those chron- iques scandaleuse *which constitute the shaded side of British dynastic historv. The most authentic version which comes to me, and rests upon the autharity of one who has guthered the facts at fiest hand in Malta, - upon his word of honor not to divulge tho family name volved, is that between four and five years ago George was married by the Roman Catholic ritutl to a daughter of a British nuval officer of high rank, and that there are two childron by the marriage. Of course the contractfug ‘parties knew that by the royal marringe uct this was really no marriage at all; but the theory is that George, who was then not in direct line to 'the throne, .counted on his elder brother's marriage and having heirs, when the irregular connection would be uc- corded a quasi sanction ‘such as was given the duke of Cambridde and other collateral English princes. By thelligat of this occur- rence it may be seen hbw infinitely more tragic was the death of ¢hat elder brother, Clarcnce, than at the time appeared. It helps one now to comprehend all tho strange, ob- scure vacillations and ckoss currents which marked the conduct of the royal family dur- ing the succeeding year, with the protracted breaking up of the Marlborough house me- nage and the lo"fi almless journeying abroad of George and his mother, the princess of Wales. Even the lust sveek has scen a curt, official notein the London pupers correcting, onbehalfof the princess of Wales,a mistaken report that she atterded the court ball on tho 80th.

The probability that the bill will be passed by a large majority has greatly fncwsased in the last forty-eight hour Herr Von Koscial Koscielski and Doctor Von Jazdswki, leaders of the Poles, have pledysed to the government the solid vote of their party. A considerable group of clericals-have refused to support Dr. Lieber's proposal to send the bill to a committee. The chancellor and his agents are very confident. FRENCH MINISTER(AL CRISIS, M.

Admiral Wandelkolk was formally de- clared a traitor by the Brazlian government a short time ago, on account of his supposed sympathy for the revolutionists in Rio Grande do Sul. His formal declaration in avor of the rebels will inspire them and and their leaders with new hope. It is re- ported that there are 500 men on board the ship commanded by Admiral Wandelkolk. He proposes to capture the guuboats sent by Brazil to defend the town of Rio Grande do >ul, while the revolutionary lund forces attack the town itself. Through the co-operation of the land and sea forces it is hoped a substantial victory may be won, Foderal Authorities Aroused, ‘Wandelkolk's activity has aroused the au- thorities at Rio de Janeiro and President Piexoto has ordered the cruiser Republica to proceed immediately to Rio Grande do Sul and give battle to the rebellious admiral Tho wires have been cut and some days may pass before definite news of tte operations at Rio Grande do Sul are obtained. The Buenos Ayres correspondent of the Herald says that Admiral Wundelskolk issued a manifesto to the Brazilians, calling upon the people of Rio Grande do Sul and other states to revolt ugainst Pxosident Piexoto, whom he calls a tyrant, and not worthy to rule over the republic.

EGAN FORMALLY CONDEMNED, Chili's Minlster of Foreign Affairs Tells Congress His Oplnion of Patrick. [Copyrighted 1893 by James Gordon Bennett.] VALPARAISO, Chili, (via Galveston, Tex.), July 9.—[By Mexican Cable to the New York Herald—Special to Tre Bee.] —Foreign Minister Blanco's reply to the request of Earique Montt in the Chamber of Deputies for an explanation of the complimentary letter sent to Patrick Egan by ex-Foreirn | Minister Errazuriz did not afford much com- Gy note of Senor Errazuriz was purely a per- sonal one. Senor Blanco said that he en- dorsed the views originally expressed by Seror Errazuriz i regard to Mr. Egan when he denounced him in a letter written to La Patrid. He did mot pretend to discount the opinions held by the ex- Chilian minister of foreign uffairs. The let- terto Mr. Egan, he said, was written by Senor Errazuriz in reply to one from Mr. Egun, asking if the story published in the Herald regarding the ex-minister’s desire to securo a place on the Chilian claims com- mission was obtained from official sources.

How Cholern May Be Contracted. “I would like to ask those who contend that cholera cannot be contracted except through the digestive organs to explain how it was that it used to take six months for caravans to bring in the discase from India, while today it comes along in five wecks!
