Christian Hosts Gather For Conference
at San Francisco.
ENORMOUS CROWDS PRESENT
Delegates and Visitors Coming In Rapidly
on Every Train —/ The Interesting
Programme Provided For tlie
First Day’s Session.
San Francisco, July 9.—Christian En—
deavor delegates and visitors have ar-
rived in such numbers during the last
24 hours as to have literally taken pos-
session of the city. All through the late
hours of the night and every hour this
morning trains arrived from the east,
north and south arlng thousands of
'them. Special boats carried the crowd
across the bay, and at the ferry they
were met by scores of white capped
guides, whose sole duty it was to make
the delegates welcome and to pilot them
to the headquarters at the great pa.-

vilion, Where every delegate is regis—
tered and directed to quarters. Fully
two-thirds of the delegates were wom-
en. Most of the state delegations are
supplied with literature, and it is not
confined to Christian Endeavor publi-
cations. There are also pamphlets pro-
claiming the fruitfulness of the soil,
beauty of scenery, vastness of the in-
dustries and the fields of labor.
The busiest scene is about the Cali-
fornia headquarters, where badges were
distributed and information was given.
The work of decorating the different
state booths is about completed, the
coat of arms of each state having been
arranged throughout the building. One
of the largest and handsomest booths is
that of Oregon, decorated in purple and
gold, the state name appearing in gold
letters. Washington has handsome
quarters, violet and white being the
predominating colors.
Thousands In Attendance.
The total number of arrivals so far is
about 16,000. The last of the big eastern
delegations are expected to reach San
Francisco in a. few hours, though strag-
glers are expected throughout the week.
Two sections of the big Pennsylvania
delegation arrived in the early hours,
and were closely followed by two train—
loads from New Jersey. Theywere met
at the Oakland mole by committees
from the San Francisco headquarters
and eSCorted to headquarters amid
cheering and the singing of “America.”
Michigan’s delegation, nearly 500
strong, is trying to secure the conven-
tion for 1899 for Detroit, with some
prospects of success. Ohio is the most
formidable rival.
The Rev. Francis E. Clark, known as
the father of the Christian Endeavor
movement, made his first public ap-
pearance in California at the First
Presbyterian church in Oakland. Ow-
ing to the blockade in the railway
yards he could not cross the bay as
soon as he expected and yielded to the
requests of the Oaklanders to hold a
meeting In that city while waiting to
cross. The Endeavorers of Oakland
turned out in thousands and gave him
a rousing reception.
The board of trustees’ annual meeting
will be held at the Palace hotel on
Tuesday, July 16. It will be necessary
to postpone this meeting, which was
originally scheduled for the 7th, until
the arrival of a number of trustees who
are delayed en route. This meeting will
be important, as it Is to 'decide where
the convention of 1899 is to be held.
The convention was called to order
by Chairman Rollo. V. Watt.
With every mail comes a batch of
greetings to the big convention. The
eyes of the Endeavorers in the remot—
est section of the world are turned up-
on the great gathering that was called
to order this morning by Chairman R01—
19. V. Watt. Those of the societies that
have found it impossible to send dele-
gates have forwarded greetings that
will be read at the great gatherings.
They are coming from India, France,
Japan, Germany and other alien lands.

FINAL WORK ON TARIFF BILL. I
Lewis of \Vaslilfipj‘on Says the House In
Not Cottage-u»: 111; to Consider It.
Vfas .ington, July {ls—Immediately
after the reading of the journal in the
house today Mr. James Hamilton Lewis
mused “a message
from the senate.”
This was the tariff bill, presented by
,Secretary Cox in person, and its re-
lccipt
was accompanied by applause
from Republican memb/ers.
Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, rising
while the secretary was reading, was
recognized, and offered for considera—
tion an order from the committee on
rules for the disposal of the tariff bill.
Mr. Lewis, however, insisted, and the
speaker heard him make his point. It
was that the house was unconstitu-
tional and disorganized, not being com-
petent to consider the tariff bill, hav-
ing “merged itself out of existence by
an adjournment sine die.” This, as he
contended, was a matter of the highest
privilege, affecting the very existence
of the house itself.
Speaker Reed said that the present
occupant of the chair was far from
holding that there were not some ques-
tions which took precedence of a report
from the committee on rules. Since the
rule was adopted making a report of
the committee on rules always in order,
the first Speaker in power Luled glut
nothing could intervene to shut out a
report of the committee on rules.
The present occupant of the chair,
however, was not satisfied that that
ruling was strictly correct, but the
gentleman from Washington, having
made his point that the house was not
constitutionally in existence, the speak—
er said he would overrule it, and the
house could proceed to consider the re—
port ordered by the gentleman from
Pennsylvania.
“From that decision,” said Mr. Lew-
is, “I respectfully appeal.”
“The chair declines to entertain the
appeal,” said Speaker Reed.
“Then I move to postpone for ten
minutes.”
“The chair regrets that the gentle-
man from Washington did not read the
rule.”
“The gentleman from Washington rc-
grets that the speaker should make
that reflection upon the gentleman
from Washington. I did read the rule,
but it may be that I differ from the
honorable speaker in the construction
of it.”
“That being the case, the chair must
give preference to his own view of the
rule.”
Wheroupon Mr. Lewis subsided, and
the order from the committee on rules .
was read. It provides for immediate.
nonconcurrence in the senate amend-
ments in gross and agreeing to the con-
ference asked for by the senate, the
conferees to be appointed Without in-
structions. The resolution was agreed
to—143 to 104.
The conference committee on the part
of the house was announced as follows:
Dingley, Payne, Dalzell, Hopkins and
Grosvenor, Bailey, Wheeler and Mc—
Millin.
To Demand l‘Ielton’s Release.
Washington, July 9.———With the tariff
bill through the senate, work in that
body resumed normal conditions today.
During the routine business Mr. Ber—
ry (Ark.) offered the following resolu-
tion:
”Resolved, by the senate, that the
president be, and he is hereby, request-
ed to demand the release of Ona Mel-
ton, a native born citizen of the United
States, who was taken prisoner on
board the Competitor and is now con-
fined in a Spanish prison in Cuba.”
No Monetary Commission Message.
Washington, July 9.—The proposed
message of the president to congress
recommending the appointment of a
commission to consider the question of
a. revision of our currency and national
banking laws was not transmitted to-
day, and will not be for several days.
