Enthusiasm prevailed | from the opening to the of the vice, which was conducted in the presence of a congregation which filled | the building to its utmost capacity.| On the stage sat about 100 ministers of the gospel of the Methodist church, well as many prelates who had be invited from other churches tc pate in the ceremonies. The splendid choir of the F t Methodist Church of Oakland rendered a number of stirring hymns, in which the congregation joined with unbounded enthusiasm. | Although it was 10:30 p. m. before the| ces came to a close, the vast con- se o ser gregation remained until the last words of the benediction had faded from the lips of Bishop Earl Cranston. The lecture hall had been handsomely decorated for these meetings. Flags of all nations were suspended from the side walls, while the balcony railing | was entwined with red, white and blue streamers. At intervals about were | placed mottoes by noted missionaries | of the past. Prominent among these were the names of Pierson, Judson and Ellis. At the back of the stage was the motto wrought in letters of black upon a silver white ground, “No Man Careth | for My Soul.” Above this was an im- mense map of the world, which showed the principal portions of the earth in which the Methodist Episcopal religion | flourished. The principal address of the evening | was made by the Rev. Homer C. Stuntz, | who chose for his subject “Methodism | in the Philippines.” On account of the absence of sev- eral of the clergymen who were un- avoidably detained from coming to the city, their places had to be filled by substitutes. LISTEN WITH RAPT ATTENTION. Bishop J. W. Hamilton of this city acted as chairman of the occasion. His tions of sincerity for the faith which he was laboring, and his intro- ductory address was received with | profound interest and attention by all j those within the hearing of his voice. Bishop J. M. Thoburn, who was on the programme to speak on the sub- | ject of ““India,” was not present. He is | now in Seattle suffering from a broken leg, but he sent a message from the north which was read by the Rev. George B. Smyth. Bishop C. D. Foss | took the place of Bishop Thoburn and delivered an interesting talk on “In- dia.” 'Then came a solo by Hana | Shimozumi, the little Japanese girl. | | Her singing aroused great enthusi- |asm, and she was compelled to return and repeat her song.. Rolla V. Watt, chairman of the finance committee, was in one of his happiest veins. He opened up his remarks by telling a serious story, ending with a jocular {wind up, after which he begged the audience to put their hands deep down into their pockets and give all they could toward this good and noble caus Calling upon the ushers, he said, “Pass through the audience as rapidly as possible, but don’'t on any account miss anybody.” By the way the money jingled and rattled as it fell into the boxes it is | evident that a goodly sum was raised. GOSPEL IN PHILIPPINES. Notices were now read regarding future meetings of the session by the Rev. Dr. Evans and the Rev. Dr. Ste- phens. In the absence of Bishop Da- vid H. Moore, Who is no": on the ocean. Dr. Stuntz was called upon to fill his place.

In one little town, away out in the country, we held a meeting in a basement and peopl walked for miles to hear us. They fllle the basement to overflowing and a large nun ber had to stand out on the grass. In. t distance I saw a Jittle party of twenty-one people Who had walked twenty-two miles over the rough country roads to hear us preach In that number was one Woman ore than sixty years of age. That day we de twenty of ‘the brightest conversions I | ve cver seen and 1 have never seen such cagerness to join the church.

In another local- wé had_a native Filipino. preaching the gospel. He was all very well during the early morning hours, which he faithfully devoted to religion, but in the afternoon he took tick- ets to a cockfight. After a great deal of per- suasion we asked them to try to give up. the cockfighting business, and after ten days' med- itation he came back to us laughing and crying in the same breath and said that the devil had come into his chamber and frightened all the cockfighting out of him. T do not know what a devil of that kind would look{ like. He had made $11,500 clear money out of the cockfighting business, but has given all of that up and is one of chest workers. nday when I was going to church T passed a house of worship of a different de- nomination from ours and outside I saw twenty-eight fighting cocks tled up by the legs to the fence, while their owners were inside worshiping. This will all be changed very soon, because from all sides we hear the same cry of the people that they are coming to lay their hands on the hands of Jesus and they are going to do what Jesus teils them. There will be meetings at the Alham- bra Theater to-day at 9 o'clock, 2 o'clock and 7:30 o’clock, and to-morrow at 9 o'clock and 7:30. The afternoon will be devoted to an excursion around the bay. The closing session will take place Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. e S5 % S REPORTS TO BISHOPS. Prelates Hear News of a Distinguished Ecclesiastic’s Suffering.

Bishop Warne reported to the house | that on his way to San Francisco he had called on Bishop Thoburn, who is | lying at the hospital in Victoria as a| ult of a fractured leg which he sus- | tained after leaving Nagasaki en route | to the United States. After the plaster | cast was removed on the arrival of the | distinguished patient in Victoria it was | found that the bones had been mis- which necessitated a painful operation. A message was received by the house from Bishon Warren, who arrived America too late after his long journey meetings being held here this week. The Bishop notified the house that he will meet the Bishops next week in Los Angeles. One of the main subjects before the House of Bishops was the question of episcopal supervision in foreign coun- tries. —_———— PERSONAL. F. C. Lusk, an attorney of Chico, is at ‘the Palace. Dr. D. W.

At twenty minutes to 2, while the House was in an uproar caused by the clamor to secure recognition, nearly all of the members having left their seats and crowded about the Speaker’s desk, Bell moved a suspen- sion of the rules for consideration of his bill and the motion prevailed. Livernash and Wynn hurried down the 'aisle and Livernash gave notice that he wished to be heard. When the clerk had concluded the reading of the bill the Speaker apportioned to Beill and Livernash each tweqpty minutes in which to present their case, although less than twenty minutes remained of the session. A little clearing was made in the space before the Speaker's desk and in this Bell took his stand and spoke tersely in explanation of the bill for a then, reserving the bal- ance of his time, he stood aside. When Livernash began to speak there was a general cry of “Vote! Vote!” He continued talking, however, until Willlams asked leave to present a resolution conveying the compliments of the House to Speaker Cannon, with which the session was brought tb a close. And so again had Livernash prevent- ed the passage of Bell's bill. — BOLT OF LIGHTNING STRIK LABORERS Five Men of a Section Crew Are Ren- dered Unconscious and One Y W April 28.—A bolt of lightning struck among a sec- tion erew working on the Silver King branch of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company in Shoshone County, Idaho, yesterday.
