THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1896. 3 ENDEAVORERS GO0 ON THE WARPAT, Armenian Atrocities Are Discussed in a Vigor- ous Manner. -r THE PRESIDENT SCORED. Tent Washington’s Vast Audi- ence Is Fairly Carried Off Its Feet. A FIERY EVANGELIST'S TALK. His Bitter Denunciation of the Admin. istration Is Drowned in Cheers of Approval. - WASHINGTON, D. C.; July 13.—The great event of the last day's session of the Christian Endeavor Convention was the Armenian meeting in Tent Washington. Arrangements had been made for 8 week past and a vast crowd was in attendance. One of the principal speakers was Miss She appeared in Armenian Her sad face and pathetic story of her people’s woes moved the great andi- ence to frequent and audible expressions Her father, a Kirkorian. costume. of sympathy and sorrow. venerable Protestant pastor in Armenia, bas just been released from a TFurkish prison. Two of her brothers are still suf- fering imprisonment, yet she spoke with remarkable forbearance of her persecutors. She did not ask for the extermination oi the Turks. b “As Cbristians,” said she, “‘we believe in God and his power and promises con- cerning the kingdom of heaven and so we | wait and hope for a religious, harvest among them to die in their sins, but we desire to see them nunited with us in the same sal- vation and become possessors of eternal life.”” After her appeal she was again presented to the audience, while Miss Leitch, her fellow-worker, wrapped her in the folds of an American flag and callea upon Ameri- cans everywhere to see that the protection of this Government was extended to her people. This incident brought cheer after cheer from the andience. Evangelist B. Fay Mills took up the ap- peal and in a passionate harangue assailed the governments of Europe, England and the toward the Armenian slaughter. scribed the brilliancy and cunning of the Suitan, showing him to be a man of great ability, and then said: “I have'no doubt that these massacres in Armenia were planned and carried out by the Suitan for his own purpose.”’ Mr. Millslaid the blame for the atrocities He | declared that England stood perjured to- at the doors of the Christian nations. day before God and the nations for her failure to prevent them.

The admin- istration officers have turned a deaf and almost scornful ear to the entreaties and representations of some of our best citi- zens, missioparies, churches and moral societies, and I denounce their conduct as unpatriotic, uncivil, un-Democratic, un- Republican, un-American, un-Christian, selfish, weak, barbaric and criminal in the eyes of the American people and of God and-all men.” ’ Every word almost of these last sen- tences of Mr. Mills was greeted by loud cheers. Men and women on the platform behind him and in the benches before him rose and shouted their hearty approval of the denunciation of President Cleveland. In the midst of the solemn charge of cowardice, distinctly leveled at the chief executive, the Secretary of State and the American Ministér, the whole audience arose 'sportaneocusly, waving flags and banners and crying aloud their approval. As Mr. Mills proceeded they kept on their feet, repeating the cheer of indorsement at every adjective. Finally, when his voice and manner indicated that he had reached the end of his period, six rousing cheers of approval were given. Rev. Wyland Hoyt, who presided, rose in his seat beside the speaker and called upon the audience to reaffirm the charge. Again came the six cheers with hearty en- thusiasm. “I hope the response will echo through the empty White House and extend to Buzzards Bay,” cried Mr. Mills as he took his seat. The board of trustees of the Unitea Soci- eties of Christian Endeavor heid its final meeting for the year to-day in its room at the Ebbitt House, and formally wound up the business of this convention. Resolu- tions were unanimously passed expressing the Turks.

The trustees were gratified during the morning by the reception of a signed statement bearing the names of nearly every State Union of Christian Endeavor societies, approving their administration of the affairs of the society and indorsing their system of government. This statement was called forth by an agitation started in some parts of the West and continued there for several years, seeking to effect a change in the management of the societies. Nocriticism has been directed against officers or trus- tees by the agitators. The aim was to secure a representative form of govern- ment in the society. At present all power over the affairs of the society is vested in the board of trustees and its officers and the board is self-perpetuating. Some of the Western Endeavorers want to change this system so that vacancies in the board should be filled by election eitter in the conventions or by the Jocal unions. Opposition to this proposed change found expression to-day in this formal statement, which bears the signatures of twenty-eight State union presidents, and the expression is so emphatic that the agitation for a change of system isnot likely to be heard from again for some time. The statement was ‘based upon & con- ference petween the trustees and presi- dents of the State and provincial unions. It recites that the signers are conviaced, “that, generally speaking, the conduct of the Christian Endeavor affairs has been wise and in obedience to manifest provi- dential leadings. The movement has been signally blessed in the self-sacrifice and devotion of those, who under God, origi- nated and have so faithfully served it as officers and trustees of the united society.” i declares that the officers and trustees have not assumed legislative functions or controlled the Christian Endeavor move- ment, except to direct into channels of large development and usefulness. While they have been a conmserving influence, they have been of open mind and willing spirit, seeking only the best interest of the cause. The statement further says the Chris- tian Endeavor is not an institution, but a movement. The very simplicity of its organization, its freedom from ma- chinery, combined with high character, sober judgment and willingness to gain light from every rightful source on the part of the officers and trustees, have done much 1o lift it to its present high position of influence. It indorses the recent councils of the trustees of. the united societies and presi- dent of State and provincial unions as a wise step in the progress of the move- ment, and recommends that such council be made a permanent feature in connec- tion with succeeding international con- ventions. This statement bears the following signa- tures of State presidents, among others being: Robert T. Caskey, Utah, T. P. Bar- ber, Colorado; A. F. McGregor, Oregon; Harry O. Scott, Nebraska. Eight meetings in tents and churches closed the proceedings of the convention to-night, in which speeches were made by Rev. Drs. B. Fay Mills, J. Wilber Chap- | man of Philadelphia and J. . Vance of Tennessee. After a brief consecration serviceat each meeting the convention adjourned with- out day. CLAUS SPRECKELS AT OMAHA. g Says McKinley Will Carry California. OMAHA, NEsR., July 13.—Claus Spreck- els, the San Francisco sugar king, and family, passed through Omaha this morn- ing in his private car Corsair, en route to San Francisco from New York. “I have been abroad for the last three months,” said Mr. Spreckels, ‘‘and, there- fore, know but little of interest. The people of Europe were much interested in the American political situation, and took more interest in the financial problem here than in our tariff. T have heard that Bryan has been making great inroads into California, but I am of the private opinion that McKinley will get the State. Of course, there may have been made changes in the State since I left, but still I believe that McKinley will win there."” Mr. Bpreckels said that he did not know whether or not an effort would be made to annex the Hawaiian Islands in the event of a Republican victory in Novem- ber. ik e die G DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. Wreck of an Excursion Train With Fatal Reaults. WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 13.—An ex- cursion train on the Hazelton branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, while round- ing a curve this afternoon betwen White Haven and Freeland, struck a cow. The engine was derailed and thrown down an embankment 200 feet high, and the three passenger coaches were thrown from the tracks upon their sides. William H. Dowd, the engineer, was killed and twenty people, mostly from thiscity, injured. Fireman Mooney jumped out of the cab- window and followed the engine down the bank, receiving serious if not fatal injuries, while Engineer Dowd was pinned under the engine when found. He was so ter- ribly injured and scalded tbat he died soon after being taken from under the wreck. All three of the coaches turned over on their sides. The passengers were thrown over their seats in all directions and all suffered more or less injury. S LR UNWIELDY AEMOR-PLATES, Complaints of Kearsarge and Kentucky Contractor: 4 ‘WASHINGTON, D.

NEWS FRCM GUATEMALA A Small Revolution Which Was Nipped in the Bud by the Government. American Merchants Greatly Inter. estedl in the Coming Central American Exposition, GUATEMALA, C. A., June 26.—When the uprising at Chiquimula broke out, President Reyna Barrios stated that it was nothing but a riot, which would be put down in a day or two. The results have justified his predictions. Three days after the first outbreak the revolutionists were flying toward the Honduran frontier, hav- ing first collected a forced loan from most of the rich citizens of the district. It is cal- culatea they took $25,000 in money and much more in cattle and merchandise. They began by proclaimingfa central junta, composed of Colonel Gonzalez Cuel- lar and a Cuban named La Fuente. Then most of the authorities were imprisoned, the troops under Captain Lone having been - bought over. The convicts were freed and general robbery was the result. The Government at Guatemala City was very active from the first. Threethousand men were set in motion. The artillery corps was dispatched to the frontier under a violent tropical storm and the Minister of War, Don Prospero Morales, left shortly after for Chiquimula. No sooner did the rebels hear of this movement than they evacuated the city, leaving most of their arms by the roadside. About twenty have been captured and are now being tried by court-martial. Peace has resumed its sway again and business is as brisk as usual. Dr. Guzman, president of the Central American Exposition, is actively pushing the completion of the main buildings. An opera company and two comedy troupes have been contracted for at a cost of some $200,000. New York, Chicago and California mer- chants are showing great interest in the exposition, and numerous requests for space have come from our manufacturers. Agricultoral and mining machinery will be specially well represented. McKinley's nomination for the Presi- dency of the United States has been very well received throughout Central Aerica. Joux R.

I cannot change those beliefs even at the biading of a Democratic National Con- vention. Convictions cannot be compro- mised. The Deleware Democracy is dis- tinct from the National Democracy, but it is too early ls’;el to say what its course will be.

Recognizes the Happy Bride as the Child He Believed Lost at Sea, STRANGE STORY OF A WRECK. Two Survivors of the Dana Laudon Disaster Meet After Many Years. PORTLAND, Og., July 13. — To meet one’s father, long mourned as dead, on one’s wedding-day—that is the joyful ex- perience of which Mrs. Edwin F. Burr of this city is telling har friends. To find a daughter whose body he had believed was resting among the coral reefs at the bot- tom of the Pacific Ocean, that is what has filled Abner L. Carrington’s cup of thanks- giving to overflowing. And Santa Bar- bara, that quaint, romantic town in South- ern California, is the scene in whicn this “truth that surpasseth fiction” was given life. Early in the present year Miss Emeline ‘Whitmore, who until six months ago lived with Mr. -and Mrs. B. L. Whitmore, her foster parents, in southeast Portland, being invalided from rheumatism, visited some | wealthy English friends in Santa Barbara, where a few months later the history of her early life was opened before her. Before leaving here the young woman was engaged to marry Edwin F. Burr, a well- to-do business man of Deer Lodge, Mont., and the two were united in marriage on the 4th of July in Santa Barbgra. The romance of Mrs. Burr's early life, perhaps, uever would have been disclosed but for this wedding. A few days ago Mrs, Burr wrote to her “‘dearest chum’ here of schoolgirl days, stating that on her wedding day she had found her real father, whom she bad al- ways mourned as dead. Among the guests at the wedding was Abner L. Carrington, an old gentleman who has made a great fortune in Southern California fruit lands. “This elderly gentleman,” writes Mrs. Burr, “‘made me feel inexpressibly uncom- fortable for the matter of an hour after I had become a wife. You remember the lobes of my ears each had the appearatce of having had a small piece cut out with a sharp pair of pincers. This trifling oddity amazingly interested Mr. Carrington, and | 1 considered him exceedingly ill-mannered | when he made inquiries of me regarding my ears. Later in the evening he asked a number of questions of Mrs. Whitmore, and before midnight Mr, Carrington iden- tified me as his daughter, whom he be- lieved to be dead and at the bottom of the South Pacific Ocean.” Mrs. Burr continued that in 1872, wnen she was 3 years old, her parents, herself and two elder sisters left Sydney in the American berk Dana Loudon for San Francisco. Three days out from port the vessel foundered, and nearly all hands were lost. The story of the disaster and the events following it was related to her for the first time on her wedding night. Her father succeeded in saving himself, and up to the night of July 4 he believed that every member of his family went down with the Dana Loudon. After drift- ing about on asparin mid-ocean for twelve hours he was pickea up by an Australia- bound steamer, which returned to Sydney. He continued his trip on the next outgo- ing steamer, as the Antipodes had nothing but sad memories for him. “That night my strangely recovered fether told me,” continued Mrs. Burr, “that he was first attracted to me by my face, which was identically the same as my mother’s at my age. Then he was startled by my earlobes, which were birth- marks. “But what convinced him that I was his child beyond all doudbt was that he de- scribed three other birthmarks on my erson to Mrs. Whiimore, which even she ;new nothing of, although I had been living with her fourteen years. My father stated that my name was Eleanor Bertha Carrinvton, and that my mother had initialed all my little clothing ‘E. B. C.’ before leaving home. That seemingly un- important statement positively removed every doubt as to my being his daughter. Mrs. Whitmore stated that the woman who had placed me in her keeping also gave her a little chemisette thatI wore when rescued from drowning, bearing the initials ‘E. B. C.” worked in worsted and which she still retained.”” On this occasion, though, Mrs. Whit- more supplied the missing chapter of the romance. A passengeraboard the ill-fated bark whose name is. unknown to Mrs. Whitmore, saved the child and they were rescued by a British vessel S8an Francisco- bound. On the Cpu.“‘. the man died, and Mrs. Emeline Cartwright, a Californian, who had taken an ocean trip for her healith, adopted the waif, giving her her own name. Mrs. Cartwright begged them to care for the South Pacific waif. Among the other things Mrs, Cartwright gave them of the child’s belongings was that chemisette, the last link positively establishing the identity of Eleanor Bertha Carrington.
