Officers Are Elected and Fresno Is Chosen as the Next Meeting Place of the State Convention--Notes of Leaguers and Last Night's Concert HE Epworth League convention, which closed its labors yesterday, will soon become a memory. The 19,000 delegates from all parts of the country who registered at headquarters are gradually departing, and ere the close of the week the pres- ence of a white cap or a leaguer wearing a badge will have become a novelty. Nevertheless, the committee head- quarters at the Pavilion were very lively yesterday. After to-day the committee will take up its old station in the Young Men's Christian Association bullding, where the final business of the conven- tion committees will be completed. Thousands of people thronged the Pa- villon yesterday and last night. The va- rious county and private exhibits were a source of interest to all beholders. These exhibits may be inspected to-day for the last time, as the building will be vacated to-night. The quarters of the registration, enter- tainment and reception committees will be open to-day. Chairman W. H. Waste of the reception committee has dispensed | with the further service of his army of aids. Mr. \\'?Zle has been untiring in his efforts to satify the delegates in every possible manner, and his services were highly appreciated. Yesterday afternoon, at -an informal gathering, a number of delegates from the East and from points in the interior of the State voted him thanks for his labors in theig behalf. There were some addresses, and the af- fair proved to be a most pleasant one for all concerned. Movements of Leaguers. .

VICTORIA, B. C.; July 22—A strange | story of a fire on one of the steamers run- ning to Alaska is brought by the steamer which arrived to-day. The master | | when the Nell was lying off the creek | near Port Simpson, waiting to get into the ; Georgetown Mills, he saw a large steame! with tall spars like an American pas. | senger steamer, seemingly on fire off Dun- das Island. She was standing still, and | with his glasses he made out a cloud | of smoke which almost obliterated her | hull and rose about 100 feet above her | spars, and it seemed at times as if there | was fire in the dense smoke. Now and | again the smoke obliterated her smoke- | stack and high spars completely. For | three quarters of an hour the steamer | stood still, with the great cloud of smoke | rolling from her, and then, while the Nell remained off shore waliting for high water | to get into the creek the steamer sud- denly turned around and headed straight for Dundas Island, as though those oni her Intended to run her ashore and let thelr passengers off. When she got well in toward Dundas Island the cloud of smoke arose higher, covering the steamer was no longer visible. The bellef of the master of the Nell is that those on the steamer succeeded in | getting the fire under control, for al- | though there was a monster cloud of | smoke there may not have been a very great blaze. With the fire out the steamer | may have swung around from where he last saw her well.in on Dundas Island and proceeded on her voyage. vl MAY MAXKE ENGLAND HER FUTURE HOME Tivorced Wife of D. R.
