Insist That the Frontier Between Greece
and Turkey Be M Traced by tbe Military
Attache* or tbe Embassies and Empht-
else Their Determination to Secure
Prompt Action.
Constantinople, July 10.—The col
lective note of the powers demanding a
cessation of the obstruction of peace ne
gotiations, which was presented by the
embassadors to the Turkish government
Friday, is couohed in the most severe
terms. It insists that the frontier be
tween Greece and Turkey be as traced
by the military attaches - of the embas
sies of the powers and emphasizes the
unanimous determination of the powers
to secure a prompt conclusion of peace.
As, however, the note does not fix a
date in which a settlement of the ques
tions in dispute must be effected and as
it does not mention the steps it is pro
posed to take in the event of Turkey
net deferring to the wishes of the pow
ers, there is ere at doubt as to whether
the.note will have the desired effect.
SCRAMBLE TO GET SEATS.
Ban Francisco Pavilion* Too Small to Ac-
commodate the Kndcavurora.
San Francisco, July 10. — All the
Christian Endeavorers now assembled
within the city’s walls are here for a
purpose and that purpose is not one of
recreation or pleasure. That all the as
sembled Endeavorers take a deep and
pensive interest in the proceedings of
the convention is manifested by the at
tendance at the daily sessions at the Big
convention halls With them all is
enthusiasm.
Never has San Francisco been called
npon to entortain such a throng of peo
ple as has been gathered together for
the ’97 congress. There have been re
vival meetings and religions gatherings,
nil sorts of conventions and some pretty
big political gatherings in San Fran
cisco, bnt the Christian Endeavor con
vention is a revelation.'
Profiting by the experience at the pre
vious sessions of the big convention
when they came too late to get within
hailing distance of the Mechanics’ and
Woodward's pavilions, many Endeav
orers were up with the coming of day,
determined to be among the fortunate
ones in securing seats. All roads seemed
to lead to the headquarters at Mechan
ic's pavilion. By 8 o’clock they came
pouring in from the east, west, north
arid sonth, on foot and in street cars,
until the broad entrances to the big
frame structures were crowded with
humanity.
The weather was quite cool, just cool
enough to bring bdek the color which
had been temporarily driven from the
cheeks of thousands of pretty young
women, with the hardships of a trans
continental journey.
At 9:39 o’clock all the 9,000 seats were
filled, while several people formed a
fringe of humanity ground the onter
edges and packed the aisles until tne
police and fire departments cried enough
and barred the doors to farther ar
rivals.
WEATHER NOT SO WARM.
Backbone of the Hot Wove Is at Lilt Be

Washington, July 10.—The intense
heat of the past few days in the central

the atmosphere, has been broken by tbe
forward movement of the trough of low

coast to Oolorado.

The women who have been accustom
ed to wearing hate adorned with the
plumage of birds, doubtless never
stopped to oonsider that for every
plumage a bird’s life was token. If
they had thought thsyio donbt many
would have felt it wrong—as we think
it Is to wear them. The plumage (is
reported) which adorns the bats and
bonneta of the fashionable ladies rep
resents a fearful slaughter of the moat
beantifnl songsters of tbe world. Eng
land imports more than 25,000,000 dead
birds every year, the feathers of which
are manufactured Into articles of per
sonal adornment for women’s wear. In
tbe whole of Europe the number of
deid birds so used is 300,000,000 a year,
which seems almost impossible, but
statistics show it.
