Slate and Great Britain, f Applause.1 T am glad that though you remember the glories you have forgotten the shames of the war between u more than a hundred years ago. The glories of that war were for you and the Thames for us. Now we stand shoulder to shoulder, resolved that peace, so far as these two nations are concerned, shall be maintained by every Just and righteous means." Kev. Joseph Walker, of Queensland. Australia, voiced peaceful sentiments in behalf of the land under the southern cross. He advised Americans to be cautious lest, in teaching patriotipm, they foster the spirit of war. "What Great Britain wants." said Dr. Walker, "and what I believe America want. Ls for men to live for their country Indeed, but to bo opposed to everything mean or unjust and work together for peace, for the glory of God and the coming of His kingdom. . The English-speaking races, animated by the fear of God. are one, and nothing. I believe, can now disturb the peace of the world." The last address was by Rev. Dr. R. F. Wibwn. of Hamilton, Ont., who asserted that he had married the Epwcrth league to the Christian Endeavor in Canada and that the pair had got along together famously. ''As long as the rulers of these two great countries." said the speaker, have characters ns exalted and motives as good a those of Queen Victoria and President McKlnley we need have no fear for peace. In the fifteenth century England destroyed the Spanish armada. Last year your navy Unlshed the Job. In Canada, as citizens and Christians, we are one with you of this great Republic one with you in the desire to Improve the efficiency of the public schools, to -abolish the saloons, to preserve the sanctity of the Sabbath and the sacredress of the home, to keep the ballot pure and to maintain the priceless principle of peace." At the close three cheers were given for President McKlnley, Queen Victoria. Admiral Dewey, the Society of Chrictian Endeavor and Mayor Maybury. of Detroit. I benediction was pronounced by Rev. Dr. John Henry Barrows, president of Oberlln College. MOUXIXG MEETINGS.

It In 1H Agnlu and Drenched the People In the Tent a. This morning's "quiet hour" In Tent Endeavor was more largely attended than either of the previous ones. The spirit of genuine piety Is especially apparent In these early morning meetings as compared with the more outwardly enthusiastic gatherings of later hours. The last meetings in the big tents before Monday opened In Tents Endeavor and Wllllston at 10 o'clock, with the usual great crowds on hand and the singing as spirited as ever. The main topic of the day In Tent Endeavor was "Saved to Serve." "Selfconsecration" was the general theme in Tent WIIll3ton. The presiding officer in Tent Endeavor was Rev. J. Z. Tyler, of Cleveland. Rev. Dr. McLaurln. of Brooklyn, led the devotions. Various topics related to the general theme of the service were treated by the .following speakers: In the home, "The Juniors," Rev. George B.

Turner, Lincoln. 111.; "How the Pastor May Help the Young People," Rev. W. F. Wilson, Hamilton. Ontario. In both tents resolutions which bad been adopted by the board of trustees were read, calling on all Endeavorers to do their utmost toward preventing Congressman Roberts, of Utah, from assuming his seat in Congress. The resolutions follow: "The board of trustees of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, speaking in behalf of over 3,000,000 Americans, solemnly declare their conviction that the seating of Brlgham IL Roberts, of Utah, as representative at large from that State in the Fifty-sixth Congress would be, and would be generally understood to be. a condonation of the crime of polygamy; a blow at the sanctity of the marriage relation and a peril to the purity and Integrity of the family, upon which our civil and religious institutions so largely rest. "We, therefore, confidently call upon our rruresi'nuiiivpx in i m" tim i if n;i i i.nnirrHSH in rise above all partisan and sectional, and personal considerations and in defense of our reputation and character as a law-abiding peoplt to deny Mr. Roberts a seat among our national lawmakers." Accompanying the resolutions was submitted a memorial to Congress to be signed by Endeavorers, urging utmost endeavor 'towards accomplishing Mr. Roberts's expulsion, "in accordance with the provision of the National Constitution, Article -1, Section 5, as follows: 'Each house may determine th rules of its proceedings, punish Its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.' " The memorial also urges submission of a constitutional amendment to the legislatures of the States defining legal marriage to be monogamlc and making polygamy and polygamous cohabitation a crime punishable by severe penalties, including disfranchisement and disqualification from holding any federal or state office. Rev. H. B. Grose, of Boston, presided over the Tent Wllllstcn. session. Rev. Dr. M. Rhodes, of St. Louis, conducted the devotional exercises. Many delegates took advantage of an open parliament to give personal testimonies. On the general theme of consecration addresses were delivered as follows: "Our Conquering Covenant," Rev. W. T.

NO SCALE AGREEMENT

TIX-FLATE WORKERS AMI EM PLOYES STILL FAR APART. Latter Inalst They Cannot Grant the Advance of SO Per Cent. Asked Strike of Cigar Maker. CHICAGO, July S.-Little progress is be ing made by the conference of the American Tin-plate Company and its workmen, though a practically continuous session was held from 9 a. m. to 7 p. m. to-day. Adjournment was taken to Monday morning. Roth sides are as much at sea as to the final outcome of the conference as they were at the close of the session Friday. The chief cause of the long delay Is the Inability of the company to convince the committee of the workmen that it cannot afford to pay the 20 per cent, advance asked for. This advance, it ls claimed, is simply the restoration of wages to the old scale that prevailed previous to 1803, when the workmen consented to a reduction of 10 per cent., following it in 1SD5 with a further reduction of 15 per cent., both suffered in the hope of helping the manufacturers to tide over their difficulties. The company contends that the price of raw material has advanced more than that of the finished product, and that they fear foreign competition. The delegates say that if the company can make it clear that it cannot pay the 20 per cent, at present prices of plate or from prices to be made after the scale ls signed, they will wllllnglj accept such lesser rate as can be demonstrated to be proper. CIGAR MAKERS STRIKE. Four Thousand People Thrown Out of Work at Tampa. TAMPA, Fla,, July 8. A general lockout of the cigar makers occurred here to-day. Four thousand people are thrown out of employment by this action of the lead'p? factories of the city. It means that fully JSO.OOO weekly will be withdrawn from circu lation while the lockout is on. The manufacturers decided on the step taken only after every possible effort had been made to adjust matters amicably with their employes. They conceded every point to the cigar makers, except that which demanded the abolishment of the system of weighing fillers at the Manrara factory. Oa this point the split wza made. The Manufacturers' Association refused to accede to the demand and the men refused to receds from their position. Twenty of the leading factories closed to-day and others will follow. The suffering among the families of the cigar makers will be intense within a week's time until the lockout is lifted. There is much excitement in the streets and meetings are being held by the cigar makers In many parts of the city, but there has been no disorder thus far. Miners Return to "Work. WILKESBARRE, Pa, July 8. The 1,800 miners employed by the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, who went on strike a week ago because the company Insisted on the men using safety lamps, returned to work today.

WASHINGTON, July.8.-The State Department is relying on the press reports for the details of The Hague conference. Consequently, it is not in possession, as yet, of any official statement of the mediation and arbitration plan which is the prominent measure now before - the conference. Ac cepting the press reports as accurate, it may be stated the project is eminently satisfactory to our government, for it is pointed out the arbitration scheme is noth ing more than an elaboration of the simple American proposition with which our dele gates were charged before they left the Lnited States. It is true the pending proposition is credited to Sir Julian Pauncefote, but that was because he had skillfully and with great ability elaborated the details of the American principle to meet the nice ob lections expected to be interposed by the European delegates.

His Revenge. Detroit Free Press. One of Detroit's business men, who has a delightful summer home on the top of a hill between Birmingham and Pontiac, tells of an experience he had last season. "When out there I always take a nap after my noon meal. No tropical resident thinks more of his siesta. One afternoon I was awakened by a loud shouting at the front gate, which is at least 600 feet from the house. I went to the front door, rubbing my eyes and badly out of temper. 'What do you want?' I called sharply to the man. who sat coolly astride his horse as though I had no rights that he was bound to respect. ' 'Have you seen a stray dog pass here in the last hour?' " 'No!' I snapped, and turned back Into the house. There the thought and inspiration for revenge seized me simultaneously. I hurried to tho kitchen, grasped the big dinner horn, returned to the porch, waited till my tormentor was at the top of the opposite hill half a mile away and then blew a blast that seemed to echo from the horizon. He turned to see me waving a towel over my head, and, recognizing the signal, dashed recklessly down the hill, spurred his horse to the top of the bluff on which I live and fairly threw him or his haunches at the gate. 'Did you recall seeing him, after all?' he hallooed. " 'Oh, no.' I answered pleasantly, 'I Just wanted to ask whose dog he was.' "I don't think that I ever heard any other man swear so fluently." London's Dinner. Cassell's Magazine. "Little more than a half of the bill that lxndon settles every year goes into the pocket of the English farmer. From the ends of the earth comes this vast supply. This great ogre of a city of ours, before whose gastronomic 'efforts the feats of all the giants of legend and fairy tale fade Into insignificance, has taken his toll of the wild ranchers from boundless Western prairies, of the beautiful chestnut-colored herds of the Andaluslan mountains, of the piebaldcoated cattle that the honest Dutch tend as their own children, and of the sturdy oxen of the north German plains. Canada and Australia send us lambs and sheep, the River Plate our ox tongues, Hamburg and Rotterdam our pigs. What an advertisement for the Navy League! What an object lesson for those who declare our fleet Is overgrown! It passes human comprehension to think what would become of London If our command of the sea were lost and the foreign supplies failed! if the lrf.Of0 live cattle from America that swell the metropolitan cattle herd during the year never reached their destination; if Holland's halfmillion of sheep were forced to remain on the home pastures in short, if the hundred and forty thousand tons of meat, neither bred nor fed in these Islands, that London annually consumes, ceased to appear in the butcher s shops of the metropolis." Russia's Calendar to De Changed. Atlanta Constitution. The Russian government, after a long fight with the Gregorian calendar, has decided to ground ita colors. It is now officially

stated that the Czar has determined to abandon the old style of Julian-Greek calendar, which is twelve days behind the now universal system of the Gregorian cycle, and which has been a source of annoyance to Russians doing business with other countries, who were compelled to use Kith dates-, S3 well as to foreigners trading with Russia. The St. Petersburg Astronomical Society has taken the matter In hand, and with the cooperation of the ministers will appoint a commission to be composed of sixteen persons, nine of whom are to be members of the Astronomical Society, who will arrange all the details. It is the purpose of the new stylo calendar to go into effect in VjQI. ONLY ONE CASE OF FEVER

City of Havana Exceptionally Healthful Danger from Vera Cruz. HAVANA, July 8. Brigadier General Randall had all the barracks occupied by his command disinfected, believing that prevention is better than cure. The local papers strongly urge the Marine Hospital Service to establish a quarantine against Vera Cruz, where the deaths from yellow fever average fifty a day. The city of Havana is exceptionally healthful now, and it is thought arrivals from Vera Cruz seriously menace the public health. Of the two persons reported on Thursday to be ill with yellow fever one has been proved to be suffering from typhoid. A meeUng cf the Santiago Society of Havana will be held to-morrow to arrange for the holding of a dinner on the 17th inst. to celebrate the Spanish sunrrender. Only those connected with the army or the navy and press 'representatives engaged in the Santiago campaign or who havfe been on duty there since are eligible. The autonomists are making a strong effort to secure admission to the Cuban national party. They are encountering bitter opposition, as a majority of the Cubans regard the autonomists as a little worse than the Spaniards. At Manzanillo, Enrique Cespedes, chief of the Second Brigade, has presented a pay roll for 2.U0O men. Moales's list had only 1.213 names, and it was agreed to pay that far. Cespedes, however, refused. He said all were equally entitled to wait the arrival of the supplementary lists. At Sancti Spiritus 207 men have been paid, and 240 were refused pay for various reasons.

NEW YORK, July 8.-Messrs. Weeks, Battle & Marshall, counsel for Roland B. Mollneux, to-nlgnt gave out a statement made by Mr. Mollneux. After reviewing the death of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams, his quarrel with Harry Cornish and what he terms the persecution of the district attorney's office, he concludes: "I have no desire to bias the opinion of any one in regard to the charges against me. I have absoluteconfidence that these charges will be ultimately dismissed, but 1 do not desire that the public shall remain In the dark as to the evidence against me, and I wish to show that I have been for some reason unknown to mo bitterly persecuted, my business ruined, my family rendered ill and the character of my wife, which is dearer to me than life, aspersed. I only ask for fair play and for an impartial disposition of the charges against me." Love? II r Telephone. New Orleans Times Democrat. "No, I am not engaged anymore," said a newly arrived drummer to some friends at the Grunewald last night. "I was broken oft by the long distance 'phone, confound the thing! How did it happen, did y' ask? Why, it was like this: 1 was In Atlanta a few weeks ago and called up my fiancee in Macon to let her know when to expect me. The service costs fifty cents for three minutes, and I calculated I could deliver my mesage in about fourteen seconds. But after I gave the dear girl the date she Insisted on holding me about a lawn fete that some of the young people were getting up for the next day. "I wriggled and writhed, and after she had imparted $2.50 worth of details I broke In and told her that somebody else wanted to use the 'phone. 'Oh, no they don't she replied, 'the operator here says you may have it as long as you wish,' and on she flowed the legend of the lawn fete. She told me how all the girls were going to be dressed, what they had cooked for lunch, and how Annie Jones had refused to go with Billy Smith because it was rumored that Billy played cards on Sunday. I groaned. I had been struck for about $7, and time was flying at the rate of 16 2-3 cents a min ute. . . " 'What's the matter?' she asked anxiously, 'you don't seem Interested.' 'Yes. I am I replied, with perfect truth, 'I am weighing every syllable Then repeat what I have been saying she ordered; 'go all over It and don't miss a word That was too much. I yelled 'Ring off I' and banged the receiver on the hook. Next day I got a package from Macon, returning the engagement solitaire. There was a sarcastic "little note in which she thought my suggestion about the ring was excellent and had acted upon it at once. Plague take long-distance 'phones! I never want to ses on again in my life." Servants' Livery. Harper's Bazar. As an example, let us take that work most looked down upon by the people who undertake it domestic service. A coachman, butler or footman is ordered to shave and wear a livery and 1 have never heard of an Instance where any objection was raised. As for the footman, the livery into which he crawls without a murmur is often as absurd a set of clothes as any ever invented, and in this unmistakable mark of his cahlng he ls even made to stand waiting by the hour outside a shop, carrying some little pampered pet of a poodle, and so lacking in human dignity Is he that he is apt to play with the dog and while away the time as best he may. On the other hand, a housemaid or nurse who objects to wearing a cap is not an unusual experience, and is especially one to be expected if the maid In question be American born. The argument Is, of course, that the woman has more self-respect than the man, and that she has an additional dose of self-esteem when she ls a free American-born citizen. But this is so thin an excuse that one may look straight through It and see the lamentable lack of self-respect in a person who has not sufficient dignity to dignify whatever work ls undertaken, be It even of the most despised kind. If we are ashamed to openly acknowledge to the world what we are doing to earn an Independent living, we are not too good for the work we do, but the work is too good for us. The Unfortunate "Xevr" Child. Boston Transcript. The Mothers' Clubs of New York State have discovered that the poetical works of the Immortal Mother Goose are unfit for childish minds. It is proposed, therefore, to substitute for Mother Goose the rhymes of "Mother Truth." a collection of nursery songs on such natural subjects as animal?, flowers, etc. The objections to Mother Goose are that when the rhymes are not a vulgar, senseless jangle, they are bloodcurdling and grewsome. and that they give false ideas of animal life. While recognizing the need of literature of some kind for very young children, the members of the Mothers' Clubs think it should be free from suggestions of cruelty and terror. One of the members says: "I was ehocked upon reading the time-honored 'Arabian Nights' to find it such an undesirable book for my child." "The Arabian Nights" will therefore have to go with Mother Goose. It will find itself In agreeable company, in Its retirement, notwithstanding Mother Goose was sometimes careless in respect, of her grammar, capricious in her rhyming and entirely iudlfterent in regard to concrete facts. Not Too Much Diverted. Detroit Journal. The hired assassin bowed. "I understand," he replied. "You wish me to kill him In such a way as to divert suspicion altogether from yourself." "Of course I wish to retain the lecture privilege," said the beautiful woman, now for the first time betraying in her manner something of anxiety. Losses by Fire. KANSAS CITY. Mo.. July 8.

USING K CAST NET, Arrests Made for Violating the Flab. Deputy Fish Commissioner Newhouse last night arrested Edward Wilson and Henry Tingle on the charge of violating the fish laws. The men were found using a castnet in the river near Maywood. They were arrested about 10 o'clock and taken before Justice of the Peace Hawking of West Indianapolis. A fine of to and costs was assessed in. each case. On Friday night Deputy Newhouse arrested Bsslck WIshat. who was fishing with a castnet In Eagle creek near Oklahoma, WIshat was also fined Jay Justice Hawkins, Omar In the Philippines. Boston Transcript. A lot of people have been struck with the concluding passage in one of Mr. J. F. Bass's recent letters from Manl'a. in which, after describing the deadly ni&ht s work of a gunboat on the PasJg river, he tells how he was surprised by the act of a corporal of volunteers on the deck of the boat In lifting up .his arms at the rising of the sun, and exclaiming: "Wake! for the sun who scattered Into flight The stars before him from the field of Night, Drives Night along with them from .heaven, and strikes The Sultan's turret with a shaft of light." It should not be surprising that a corporal of volunteers should be able to quote from Omar Khayyam, since the ranks of the volunteers, like the ranks of European conscript armies, contain plenty of college men and other men of education. I fancy Omar ls better known In the ranks, for that matter, than he is at headquarters. What interested me, when I came to this passage In Mr. Bass's letter, was the thought of the Journey which Omar had traveled in making his appearance on the Paslg river in this form. He had scanty appreciation In Persia, and but few copies of h!s verses have ever been found In India. He should have gone on that way, on the lips of men of his own faith, to the far Oriental islands, where these Mussulmans have lived for centuries. Have his Rubalyat ever been spoken In those islands in any other tongue than English? Very likely not. And since the people out that way have thus missed their birthright and don't know their Omar Khayyam, why, this is a fresh point in Justification of the Anglo-Saxon invasion of the Philippines. They have failed to get what belonged to them, and we are simply carrying It to them. Stranse Effects of Red. London Sketch. Why does the bull so strongly object to a red rag? While the professional physiologists do not, as yet, appear to have found any very satisfactory explanation of the fact, a French manufacturer of photographic materials professes to have discovered that bulls are by no means the only members of the animal kingdom that are excited by anything red. A very large number of hands are employed In the manufactory, both male and female, and most of the work has hitherto been performed In 100ms to which all the light that was admitted came through panes of red glass. Hardly a day passed without some terrific disturbance taking place among the work people. Now It was a duel almost to the death between two of the men. now between two of the women: sometimes the melee was general. Workshop regulations were absolutely ignored, and no amount of fines or other punishments seemed to have any permanent deterrent effect. This state of affairs was assumed, until recently, to be inseparable from work carried on in uncomfortable conditions. At length it occurred to some bright spirit that the red panes of glass might be at fault, and It was decided to try what the effect of green panes would be. The effect was Instantareous From that day a sudden peace fell upon the whole workshop that had never bfcen known befoie. Bickering and tijrhtin ended as If by enchantment, and voice of man or woman was never raised above a whisper. Ills Theory. Puck. "Yes," said the old Cjherman. who was taking out the party, "there's lots of people go fljhln that aon't know nothin' about it, an they don't catch much fish, but I think they're the mans of other people catchin lot of fish." "How ls that?" asked one of the party. "Well, the fish get so .used to bltln at hooks an not gettln caught that they get carelecs and people that know how to fish land 'tea.
