nieiite ev ry part of the city. Through
nil the late hours of the night and early
hoars of tire morning trains have ar
rived from the east, north and south,
bearing thousands of delegates and vis
itors. Special boats have carried the
crowds across the bay, and at the ferry
they were met by scores of white capped
guides, whose sole duty it is to make
the delegates welcome and to pilot them
to the headquarters at the great pavil
ion, where every delegate is registered,
and direct them to comfortable quarters
in some part of tho city.
The scenes at the pavilion resemble
u national political convention, except
that more women remain in evidence
on this occasion than usually attends
these gatherings. Fully 2,000 delegates
are of the gentler sex. Their presence
tends to make the scone more striking
in color and more animated in spirit.
All the streets and the business district
of the city and tho neighborhood of the
different headquarters are congested
with thousands of visitors. Every one
seems to be on the move, as if cooling
breezes from the sea are more welcome
utter journeying through the alkali
plains.

ef delegates poured into the pavilion
throughout the night aud forenoon and
y ung w unen engaged in the rogistra
tii n booths were kept busy. They came
in driblets and they came in rushes, bat
the registration department was pre-
I'ured for anything, and not even”the
big Massachusetts delegation could rat
tle them.
Most of tho state delegations are sup
plied with literature and it is not con
fined to Christian Endeavor publica
tions. They are pamphlets proclaiming
the resources of the state.
The liveliest scene is about the Cali
fornia headquarters. There are 3,000
Kndeavorers in California and it seems
if most of them intend patting in an
appearance at some time during the
convention. Not the least attractive
part of the pavilion is the score of pretty
California girls, who are engaged in
distributing badges and imparting in
formation to those who calL
The work of decorating the different

installing of the coat of arms of each

ument—No Action at This Section.
Washington, July 8.—The proposed
message of the president to congress
recommending the appointment of a
commission to consider the question of
a revision of the currency and national
banking laws, will not be transmitted
for several days, if it goes in at all,
which is a matter of doubt
The president is now undecided
whether or not to send in any message
for the reason that a number of ths
most important leaders of the party in
the senate and house have made strong
representations to him of the inadvisa-
bility of sending a message to congress
while the tariff bill is in conference
Senators Allison aud Quay, Repre
sentative Dingley and others called at
the White House aud had .a long con
ference with President McKinley. They
urged him to reconsider his determina
tion to send a special currency message
to congress and gave as a reason the
sentiment in congress was snch that it
would be likely to arouse feeling aud
cause friction that would delay final
action on the tariff bilL
After the conference Secretary Porte/
announced to the newspaper men that
it had been decided that it would not be
expedient to send in the message for
several days at least, and that it might
be deferred altogether till the next ses
sion of congress.
HENRI ME*ILHAC IS DEAD,
Distinguished French Dramatist and On*
of tho Forty Immortals.
Paris, July 8.—Henri Meilhac, the
noted dramatic author and member ol
the French academy, is dead. He wat
born in Paris in 1832. At the age of 2d
he begau to contribute with pen and
pencil to The Journal Ponr Hire, and in
1855 saw his first dramatic efforts, “Sa-
tauia” aud “Garde-toi, je me garde,’•
produced at the Palais Royal, but with
out much success.
Five years later he collaborated with
M. Ludovic Halevy in two plays, which
were presented at the Vaudeville, while
a year later he collaborated with M.
Arthur Delavigne in “La Vertu de Oel-
imeiie.” In spite of its improbable
plot the play became very popular.
With MM. Halevy and Delavigne he
co-operated in producing a large num
ber of plays, from “La Belle Helene”
in 1870 to “La Roussotte” in 1881.
The play which is perhaps the best
specimen of his art as a playwright is
“Decore;” which was written without
collaboration and produced in 1888. His
“Margot,” in 1890, an A "Brevet Supe-
rieur,” produced in 1892, were almost
equally successful.
Iu 1869 he received the decoration ol
the Legion of Honor; in 1884 ho was
promoted to be an officer of tne legion.
He was elected to the academy in 1888
in succession to Labiche.
Suspension In the Pittsburg
District Aimes; Complete.
ONLY PEW MINES BEING OPERATED
**»• Owner. Admit That More Men Are
Out Thau They Believed Would Join In
the Movement—Arrangements Made For
Demonstrations at Two Towns—There
Hay Be Trouble.
Pittsburg, July 8.—There are but a
few new features in the mining situa
tion in the Pittsburg district, and these
are generally favorable to the miners.
With the exception of a few scattering
mines, the only miners at work are
those at the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal company and the Cannons-
burg Coal company. In fact, suspen
sion is almost complete.
A mooing of the first pool miners wat
held and they decided to join tha
strikers. The result is the mines an
practically closed, only a few men be
ing at work. These men are under con
tract and 10 per cent of their earnings
have been retained since the first of the
year to be forfeited in the event of their
failure to keep the contract. It was
thought these men could be brought
out and the fact that they have decided
to quit will have the effect of inducing
others to join the movement
The Panhandle miners also met and
decided to throw down their tools
within two hours after the first pool
diggers quit work. These men are also
under contract. The Beadling men
have also decided to quit It was said
that arrangements have been made for
a demonstration at Gastonville and
Snowdon. A brass band had been en
gaged and it is reported a march will
be made to the mines. If the program
is carried out there will likely be
trouble.
The Siner diggers on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad have decided to re
turn to work. They mine coal for the
eastern markets and claim they will not
be benefited if the strike is either won
or lost.
The miners of the Yeogh Coal com-
pany are meeting at Scottdale. They
were working under a verbal contract
at 50 cents and quit when the general
order was issued. Nearly 2,000 men
are employed at these mines and it is
said they are anxious to return to work.
President Dolan went to Scottdale and
will endeavor to keep the men in line
for 69 cents. *
A number of coal directors when seen
said that the strike is becoming serious
and that more men are oat than they
thought would join in the movement.
Olty of Chlnago Uu a Quarter of a Million
Dollar Conflagration.
Chicago, July 8.—The dock ware
house of the Chicago and Alton com
pany, ex tenting from Van Boren to
Harriaon street on the west bank of tha
river, has been burned. Besides the
warehouse, which was stored with mer
chandise, about 40 loaded freight cars
Were also consnmed. The loss is esti
mated at $200,000 to $250,000.
The steamer Ohemnng of the Buffalo
and Niagara Falls ronte, which was be
ing unloaded at the docks, was slightly
damaged. When the fire communi
cated to the Chemnng a large number
of sailors were asleep in their banks and
several of them had some narrow es
capes.
There was a panic among the men
asleep in the dock hous9 when they
were hastily awakened by Watchman
Sntfie of the Alton company, and some
were badly braised in escaping from
the blazing structure. Sntfie remained
in the building on the dock honse. So
long as his escape by the main entrance
was impossible he was forced to jump
from a window. He was injured but
not seriously.
Sparks from a passing steamer are
supposed to have caused the fire.
FOUND HIS WIFE IN OCEAN.
Mrs. A. G. Stacsr Was Enjoying a Swim
With Another Man.
San Francisco, July 8.—Mr. A. G.
Stacey of Topeka, Kan., a well known
newspaper man of that place, came to
San Francisco looking for his wife,
whom he married two years ago, and
who, as he expected, was among the
Christian Endeavor delegations from
the Sunflower state against his will.
Mr. Stacey arrived here Tuesday
morning ahead of the Kansas delega
tion and took his station at the ferry
landing to watch for his wife. Nol
finding her among the Kansas contin
gent he went sightseeing at the, Olid
Bouse. After watching the seals dis
porting themselves for some time he de
cided to take a swim at the Sutro baths.
Great was his surprise, when plunging
into one of the big tanks, he literally
swam into his wife’s arms. Mrs. Sta
cey was enjoying a swim with another
man, aud when Mr. Stacey announced
his relationship to the lady, Mrs. Sta
cey’s companion fled iu great haste.
Mr. Stacey conducted bis wife and
their young daughter to the entrance oi
the baths, where they met a number ol
Kansas ladies who are delegates to the
convention who took Mrs. Stacey with
them.
HALF A DOZEN CREMATED.
Kentucky Farmer and Hu Family or Five
Burned to Death.
Pinevjlle, Ky., July 8.—HughJJoeson
and family of five, who live 15 miles
north of this place, were burned to
death, being nnable to escape from theii
cottage, which was fired over their
heads. The dead are:

Mary Joeson, his wife.
Fannie Joeson, a daughter, 14 years
old.
John Joeson, a son, 10 years old.
A daughter 8 years old. /
Maggie, a daughter, 6 years old.
The remains of all six were found in
the debris. The fire was undoubted-y
of incendiary origin and the Bell conn
officers are taking steps to discover the
guilty party or parties.
Famous Turnpike Charter Sold.
Chattanooga, July 8.—The charter
of the once famous Cumberland turn
pike was sold to Cumberland county at
Crossville for $75. This was one of the
first roads bnilt in Tennessee and over
it emigrants came from North Carolina
and Virginia when it was bnt a trail.
When the stage coaches were in vogne
the mail from Knoxville to Nashville
was carried over this road, and over it
passed “Old Hickory” on his pilgrim
age from the “Hermitage” to Wash
ington to take tne oath of office as pres
ident of the United States.

United States Marshals on Guard.
Bellaire, O., July 8.—Reports from
Dillouvale and Long Run mines, on the
Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad, where
trouble was expected, indicate that all
peaceable. Six hundred miners,
chiefly Poles, started to work at Dillon
No. 2 under the protection of United
States marshals aud several trains of
coal left for the north. A committee
from Long Rau waited on the Dillon
men who went to work and urged them
to come out The miners’ officials say
they are iu good shape and that the re
turn of the miners at Dillonvale is of
no coDseqnence. Not the slightest out
break has occurred.
West Virginians Still at Work.
Keystone, W. Va., Jnly 8.—All the
coal mines in the Flat Top and Elkhorn
fields are still running, and a largely in
creased force has been pnt to work at
many of the mines in the latter district.
The effort being made by the United
Mine workers to have the West Vir
ginia miners join the 6trike will prove
futile. All the miners along the line of
the Norfolk and Western railroad were
bitterly opposed to the scheme and the
operators are now advertising for addi
tional miners. They will ran to their
fullest capacity and both miners and
operators are contemplating a boom.
About 130,000-Miners Are Out.
Columbus, O., July 8.—United Mine
workers headquarters report from 125,
000 to 130,000 miners ont. This is all
who were at work except West Vir
ginia ontside of the Flemington and the
Wheeling district, and the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal company of
Pittsburg. Headquarters have advices,
they say, that the feeling in Pittsbnrg
is that mining for this company can be
stopped.
Strike at Belleville Oft
St. Louis, July 8.—The Belleville,
Ills., coal strike may be said to bo off.
In spite of the order to quit work, only
three mines are idle and it iB said on
good authority that they will be run
ning soon. Miners in and around Mnr-
physboro and other large coal centers in
sonthern Illinois were not in sympathy
with the strike movement and say that
they will not come ont.

Lisbon, July 8.—In commemoration
of the four hundredth anniversary of
the departure of Vasco de Gama for the
Indies, the geographical society opened
the new geographical institute. The
king and queen of Portugal, a number

net ministers were present.
Fatal Fall at a Big Firs
Milleville, Mass., Jnly 8. —Fire here
destroyed the Clarendon hotel, two
houses and two bams. Two tenement
houses were also badly damaged. 1 Dan
iel Keogh, Jr., fell from a root and-sns-
tained injuries which may prove fatal.
The total property damage will proba
bly reach $60,000.
Delicate Compliment.
Among the musical reminiscences of
Max Muller, as printed in Cosmopolis,
is a good one about Mendelssohn aud
Li3zt. The incident occurred daring
Liszt’8 first visit to Germany. His style
of playing was then somewhat new,
and he was,, as fie - remained, theatrical
in his manner. The Leipsic critics were
not effusive. Says Max Muller:
Mendelssohn only, with his well tem
pered heart, received him with open
arms. He gave a matinee musicale at
his honse, all the best known musicians
of the place being present. Well, Liszt
appeared in his Hungarian costume,
wild and magnificent.
He told Mendelssohn that ho had
written something special for him. He
sat down, and swaying rigfit and left
on his mnsic stool played first a Hun
garian melody and then three or four
variations, one more incredible than the
other.
We stood amazed, and after everybody
had paid his compliments- to the hero of
the day some of Mendelssohn’s friends
gathered round him and said:
“Ah, Felix, now we can pack. No
ono can do that. It is over with ns. ”
Mendelssohn smiled, and when Liszt
came up to him, asking him to pluy
something, he laughed and said that he
never played now, aud this, to a certain
extent, was true. He did not give much
time to practicing then, but worked
chiefly at composing and directing his
concerts. However, Liszt would take no
refusal, and so at last little Mendelssohn,
with his own charming playfulness,
said:
* ‘Well, I’ll play. Bnt you must prom
ise me not to bo angry. ”
Aud what did lie play? Ho sat down
and played first of all Liszt’s Hungarian
melody, aud then ono variation after
another, so that no ono but Liszt him
self could have tho told the difference.
Wo all trembled lest Liszt should he
nded, for Mendelssohn could net
-p himself from imitating Liszt’s
.ovements and raptures. However,
Mendelssohn managed never to offend
man, woman or child.
Liszt laughed and applauded, and ad
mitted that no one, not he himself,
could have performed such a bravura.
Child Dead; Mau and Woman Djinfi*«
Cincinnati, July 8.—William Deer, a
lumberman, found the bodies of a mat)
and woman, apparently dying, lying
side by side on a raft of logs moored to
the shore uear the village of California,
a few miles above Cincinnati. Neai
the raft the dead body of an infant was
taken from the water. The man aud
woman were alive, but un able to speak.
Both their wrists were cut and bleeding
and other wounds indicated an attempt
at suicide. Both victims were well
dressed, but Deer was not able to gel
any clew to their identity. A detail of
police has been sent from here to probe
ihe mystery.
American Cruisers at Tangier-
Tangier, Morocco, July 8. — The

Complimentary.
Not long since, at a social gathering
at the houso oi an intimate friend, a cer
tain reverend bishop was jocularly in
vited by tho hostess to sing. Ho de
clined, saying that the following inci
dent would fully indicate what were
his talents in tho realm of music:
He was once journeying through Pal
estine in company with a very close ae-
quaintauce, and one evening, after he
and his friend, who shared the tent
with him, had retired to rest, the bish
op began humming an old tune with
plenty of runs and repetition.
His companion joined in, and tho two
soon started a verse of a well known
hymn. Before tho verso ended a donkey
jnst outsido tho tent brayed as only a
donkey in the oast can bray and gave
vent to the noiso with the utmost extent
of lung power that he possessed.
While tho hills of Judiea were send
ing back the echoes of this most un
timely performance the Arab dragoman,
or guide, put his head inside the tent,
aud, apologizing for his donkey, said
“Hal You sing one tuuo he t’ink he
knows!”—Hartford Times.
Long Term Pastorates.
Ono of tlie hdvantagos of a long pas
torate is that it acmpcls tho preacher tr
dig into the depths of gospel truth, to
avoid sameness and repetition. This is
exactly contrary to the popular imprcs
siou. Wo have often heard men say that
by a change of pastorates they would
gain time for study aud a more thor
ough investigation of the great Chris
tian themes. As a matter of fact, the
jnen who change pastorates every few
years do not usually study as broadly
and deeply ns those who remain iu one
place for years. Tho former find that
they can use their old preparations and
that there are a good many claims upon
them besides those of patient thought
and investigation. Tlie latter are forced
to study. There is a limit lieyoiul which
old sermons cannot bo preached to the
same congregation.—Watchman.
Held the Barber Responsible.
A bright little fellow who has not

At dinner ono evening recently it was
