»_ The Catholic Mayor of Montreal Gives a,
Cordial Welcome to the? Delegates. .
President Clark Says the Eudeavorers‘,
I 'Are Not Boycotters. ' "
MONTREAL. Julv 7.—Catholic Montreal
gives a hearty welcome to the delegates to
the Christian Endeavor convention. The
convention opened with a song service, fol-
lowed by Scripture reading andrprayer,
and then came the addresses of welcome
by local pastors and others. , . The main in-
terest centered in‘ the address of“-Senator
des J ardins, the mayor of Montreal, who
appeared wearing his chain ofcofiice.‘ He
got a royal welcome fromthe convention,
and when, after prefacing' his remarks by
a few wards of welcome, he said: “While
I am a Roman Catholic myself, and while
Montreal is a Roman Catholic city, that
is, the greater portion of her citizens pr0<
fess that faith, none will extend a heartier
welcome than we will,” the great crowd
cheered the senator almost into astonish-
ment. “It is not a battle of creeds now-
adays,” continued the senator, “but‘a bat-
tle between belief and unbelief,” and there
was another great outburst of applause.
Then the audience sang “God Save the
_ Queen” and “My Country, ’Tis of Thee,”
and Rev. J. W. Cowan, of Tabor, reviewed
the growth of the order. He was followed
by Rev. Dr. Hoyt, of Minneapolis, on
“Christian- Endeavor Possibilities, ” and
Mrs.; Francis E. Clark, of Auburndale,
Mass, . on; f‘Union Christian Endeavor in
Forei’ghéLands.” ‘
The annual address of Rev. Francis E.
Clark, president and founder of the so«
ciety, was delivered at last evening’s
session and was devoted mainly to a re.
sume of the order’s history. Continuing,
he said:
“I should suggest to the Christian En«
deavorers the'cultivation of a larger and
more intelligent spirit of patriotism and
good citizenship; not by joining any par-
ticular party, but by bringing their vote
and influence to the test of the Christian
Endeavor pledge; by not knowingly voting
for a bad man or a bad measure. Such a
course would impel politicians to select
better men for candidacies.
“So, in humbler ways, let your influence
be felt for every right cause. I am glad,
for one, of the stand that .Endeavorers
have taken for the Christian and the
American Sabbath. I believe that the
course of the society on this question has
set an example that we may wisely follow
in the future.
“We have proved, for one thing, that we
are not boycotters, whatever ill natured
people may say. It is not our word'nor
does it express our attitude. » We protested
and petitioned; we did everything that we
. could as individuals and societies to save
the nation from the threatened disgrace,
and now we, each one for himself without
judging others, will decide what he would
have us do in regard to going to the expo-
sition or staying away from it.
“Let it be understood that there is no
power or wish in the Endeavor society to
compel uniformity, or to force the con-
sciences of its members in regard to the
World’s fair or any other. subject. This
convention can pass no votes or resolutions
that are binding upon individuals or so-
cieties, nor can any state or local union,
but it can and should lead us ,in this ..and
every such matter more fully to recognize
our individual responsibility as citizens as
well as Christian men and women." ' -
The" report of Secretary Baer was also
read last evening. The secretary, in giv-
ing the number of existing societies, re-
gretted that all had not enrolled and some
were therefore not enrolled. He urged all
to enroll. _
The official enrollment is as follows: New
York state leads with 2,985 societies; Penn-
sylvania is second, with 2,628; Illinois
third, with 1,822; Ohio fourth, with 1,766,’
and Iowa fifth, with 1.186. Massachusetts
and Indiana are far behind, however. In
Canada there are 1,992 societies. Ontario
leads, with 1,072 societies; N Ova Scotia has
393; Quebec, 135; Manitoba, 94, and New
Brunswick, 89, and so on through the
Dominion. _
The growth in the south has been en-
couraging. Maryland, Tennessee and
Texas each have over 200 societies, and
Georgia, Florida, West Virginia and Ar
kansas each have over 100. with Virginia
and South and North Carolina not very
far behind.
England has over GOOSocieties, Australia

Clause 6, .W‘liich Provides for an Irish-

Opposition of Henry th'o'uchere, Jenn
Burns and Other Radicals. I
LONDON, July 7.—The house of commons
was crowded last night with persons eager
to see clause 5 of the home rule bill forced
through *the committee; ' The members
worked steadily. ' Only an occasional
ebullition of Unionist resentment or bit~
terness disturbed the proceedings.‘ At 9:40
Mr. Balfour, leader ‘of the Unionists, be-
gan-snaking. He ,was. in the middle of a
sentence when the clock struck 10 o’cIOck.
He did not wait to finish it, but resumed
his seat amid deafening opposition cheers
and cries of “shame” and “gag”, ~Almost
immediately Chairman Mellor put the
question of the last Unionist amendment,
which was lost by a vote of 324 to 286.
As the leaders returned from the lobbies
all the members were on their feet to re-
ceive them with cheers and waving hats.
Clause 5, which concerns the Irish‘execu‘
tive authority, was ‘then passed by a vote
of 324 to 289. - . , -
Charles P. Villiers, Liberal Unionist,
who has sat in the house since 1835, was
too feeble to walk unassisted into the
lobby, and was almost carried by his
friends.
Clause 6, which provides for an Irish
parliament, with a legislative council of
forty-eight members, was passed without
debate. _ The vote was 315 to 300.
Henry Labouchere, Radical, John Burns,
Labor, Charles Conybeare, Radical, and
Gavin Brown Clark, Radical, Went with
the opposition in this division, so as to
make known their disapproval of the
creation of an Irish house of lords. The
smallness of the majority and the prepara-
tions of the government to proceed with
the passing of clause 8 caused intense ex‘
citement throughout the house.
The Conservatives howled and the Irish
howled back, while the Liberals cheered
with might and main. Chairman Mellor
tried to obtain the attention of the house.
but his voice was lost in the volume of
opposition cheers.
Eventually the exhaustion of the Union-
ists gave him an opportunity to put the
question of clause 7, which provides for
the constitution of an Irish legislative
assembly. The clause was then carried
by a vote of 325 to 289. The largeness of
the majority evoked loud Irish cheers,
'which were answered by the Unionists.
Clause 9, which contemplates cases of'
disagreement between the two houses of
the Irish legislature, was carried by a vote
339 to 291.
The abatement of the confusion left Mr.
Gladstone an opportunity to move that
the committee rise and report progress.
The motion was carried before the Con-
servatives fairly realized what was being
done. Mr. Gladstone hastily gathered his.
papers and left the house. The opposi—
tion, after denouncing the, premier for his
summary method of cutting off further
discussion, agreed on a motion to adjourn.
Apage and a half of the bill was pushed
through committee last evening. This is
almost as much space as the house in com-
mittee had disposed of in all theprevious
sittings.
The Impecunious Duke.
CHICAGO, July 7.—The friends of the
Duke of Veragua in this country, having
learned that his financial affairs in Spain
are in such a condition as to threaten the
loss of his entire estate, have decided to
raise a considerable fund for the benefit of
his family. Hon. Thomas W. Palmer has
consented to act as chairman of acommitp
tee to receive subscriptions. " .

Soldiers Now in Paris.
the Closing of the Labor Exchanges» Adds,
to the Auger of the Mob—Rioters Fight
Police and , {Troops with Desperate
Bravery. p
PARIS, July 7.—Gangs of rowdies made
disturbances last evening in the Rue du
Chateau d’Fau, round'the Labor Exchange
and in the nearby side streets. By 9
o’cld'ck the rioters had become numerous
and belligerent. They upset and partly
smashed five tramcars and broke many
windows. 'The police eventually were
able'to hold them in check, but not to dis-
perse them. In the fights between rioters
and police several rowdies and two police-‘
men were injured. Few students took
part in the riots. The Students’ associa-
tion has published an appeal to students
to abstain from any future participation
in the riots.
A mob took possession of the Boulevard
Du Temple at 10:30 o’clock, and began
breaking windows. The police charged
twice before they could force the rioters
back. The police used their revolvers, and
several rioters were shot. The roters fired
back, but wounded only one policeman.
Omnibusses were overturned and set on
fire by rioters in the Rue St. Maur and
Rue Oberkampf. The Republican guards
charged the mobs in both streets. The
mobs fought stubbornly, but were routed.
Thirty rioters were arrested. Many who
were wounded were carried ed by their
friends. The number is estimated at
thirty-five or forty.
This morning the streets are again quiet.
The troops have been withdrawn from the
neighborhood of the Labor Exchange.
Policemen guard the Place De La Repub—
lique, the Boulevard Voltaire and the
Boulevard Du Temple. It is reported that
the government has decided to dissolve the
municipal council.
The closing of the Labor Exchange has
caused intense excitement among the
workingmen. As soon as the action of the
government became kno u thousands of
workmen came to the b ildings from all
parts of the city. They were restrained
from violence by several companies of
military and the strong force of police.
The auxiliary labor exchange in the Rue
Jean Lacques Rousseau has been closed
also and is held by troops. The labor
leader, Alleman, in speaking at the main
exchange yesterday morning warned his
hearers against resorting to open fighting
with the government. He said more than
25,000 troops had been brought from the
provinces to Paris within the last five
days. If the workingmen should go into
the streets to obtain their rights they
would be mowed down by the military.
Their fight would be futile, as the country
was :not yet ripe for the revolution.
The most notable feature of the street
demonstration yesterday was the stern si-
lence of the mob. The usual screaming
and shouting were lacking. On the whole
the fights were less violent yesterday than
on Wednesday, says the correspondent.
The most severe fight took place at the
corner of the Avenue de la Republique
and the passage in the Angouleme. The
police, supported by troops, charged with
drawn swords a large mob.
The rioters fought with desperate
bravery. Although almost unarmed they
by inch. As they retreated they smashed
the kiosks and booths and tore up the
smallest trees so as to use them in fight-
ing. The police charged repeated by until
they drove the mob to the cemetery of
Pere La Chaise. There the rioters built
an enormous bonfire and sang and shouted
for some time undisturbed. The police
are said to have fired revolvers at the nfib
and to have received in return several
shots. A police brigadier was wounded.

"“FLOWER‘s P_R_o_N_/IPT‘ ACTION.
The Governor’s Guarantee St ops a Sense-
less Run on a Solid Bank.
WATERTOWN, N. Y., July 7.—-A run was
started on the Jefferson County Savings
bank in this city yesterday. The run sub—
sided shortly after 4 o’clock, when the cm.
core of the bank refused to take advantage
of the usual hour for closing, and contin-
ued to pay all depositors who presented
demands for their funds. This ction, to-
gether with a. guarantee given y Gover.
nor Flower and other prominent finan-
ciers, and the work of influential citizens
among depositors, who were informed as
to the bank’s solid condition, had a most
satisfactory efi’ect.
Governor Flower appeared among the
depositors twice during the day and made
speeches to them. In substance the gov-
ernor said: ”In panicky times like these,
when the people all want their money,
you, by your actions. force the banks to
keep a larger amount on hand than usual.
To get this money the bank officials have
to refuse to loan money on mortgages, and
also refuse to loan it on commercial paper,
and therefore you restrict trade and throw
labor out of employment. By your action
you force the bank to foreclose on the
mortgages held by it. The merchant is
compelled to pay his note or suspend busi-
ness, and the bank is forced to dispose of
its bonds. Thus, in demanding money
which you do not need, you are forcing the
foreclosures of mortgages, driving men
from their homes and causing the suspen-
sion of business industries generally.”
Live Stock Companies Fail.
NEW YORK, July 7.-—The New Jersey
Sheep and Wool company and the Gauze-
voort Market Sheep company, corpora-
tions under the laws of the state of New
Jersey, doing business at the Central Stock
yards, at the foot of Sixth street, Jersey
City, have failed. The announcement has
caused some excitement at the stock yards,
as it is feared that the failure of the firms
will involve the failure of many small
concerns. The sheep and wool company
is backed by ex-Congressman James N.
Pidcock and J. N. Pidcock, Jr., and C.
Brand, of Trenton, is president of the
Lempany. The liabilities will exceed half
a million dollars. What the assets are is
not known. The ofiices of the company
are closed.
Anarchists Will be Protected.
NEW YORK, July 7.—Superintendent
-Byrnes contradicts a report that he in-
tended to prevent a meeting of anarchists
in the Windsor theater this evening. He
said: “I understand that a meeting has
been called by certain persons to express
satisfaction with the action of Governor
Altgeld, of Illinois, in pardoning the Chi-
cago anarchists. These people have aright
under the law to assemble peacefully and
express their views. Some of the leaders
are known to the police as disturbers of
law and order, and it may be well for
them to be careful. So long as they vio-
late no law the police will protect them.”
West POint Cadets Going to the Fair.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-The West Point
cadets are. going to the World’s fair. The
legal objections that were advanced have
been overcome and Acting Secretary
Grant has sent the necessary instructions
to Colonel Ernst, superintendent of the
military academy. ' The cadets (over 300

Lord Derby and Mr. Gladstone.
We. have lost a great intelligence in
Lord Derby—a great intelligence, per:
haps, rather than a great intellect. For
we fancy there is a slight difierence of
signification between the two. For ex-,
”ample, it would be hard to imagine
minds more different in their constitu-
tion than Lord Derby’s and Mr. Glad«
stone's. Lord Derby’s pure intelligence'
wasin many respects much the wider
of the two. He saw with much mere
inpartial vision both what was not to
his mind and what was, but the result
was that he often, especially in early
life, rather chilled than attracted
the sympathy of those whom be ad-
dressed. His light was "eminently 3k
light", cold light—almost at times b1 ‘
light. He seemed to say, “This is my
view, and so far as .I can judge the
complete view, but if you cannot follow.
me that is no business of mine, andI
am quite indifferent whether you agree
with me or not.”
Mr. Gladstone’s attitude of mind is al-
most as unlike as it can be. He seldOm
gives the impression of any detac “gilt
at all. He is eager, vehement, pla ‘ ,
persuasive, sympathetic, in the highest
sense impressive. He is nothing less
than impartial on any subject into which
he enters with his whole mind, but he
makes you forget this in the charm of
his invitation to agree with him. Lord
Derby’s argumentative shots were what
are technically termed “chilled shots”
as compared with Mr. Gladstone’s. If
those shots did their work, they did it
with a certain ostentatious frigidity as
to the effect—London Spectator.
They Had Never Seen Roses.
Two ladies, managers, came into a
school the other morning shortly after it
had opened. One of them wore a bean—
tiful jacqueminot rose, on which the
eyes of the whole school were at once
turned admiringly. Noting this, the
owner of the flower gave it to one of the
teachers for the children.
_ “N ow, children, how many of you
know what this is?” asked the young
lady, holding up the flower. Nearly ev-
ery little one shook his head to indicate
ignorance.
One small boy and a couple of little
girls piped out with great importance:
“It’s a posie, please, ma’am.”
But no one had ever heard of a rose.
Most of the children had never seen one
before. The flower was passed along
and small noses lingered longingly over
its fragrance, while dirty little palms
patted its velvet petals caressingly. ,No
one saw or thought of anything ‘ ‘ t
morning but the rose. The. teacher ' at
it in a glass of water to preserve it, and
when school was dismissed each child ~
was rendered supremely blissful by the
gift Of a tiny petal. As they filed out of
the door each little waif clutched his
treasure tightly in his small hand, while
he murmured softly to himself the name,
“Pitty wose, pitty wose.”—Pittsburg
Chronicle.
An Adjective That Pleased.
There is a mode of speech which may

it net rather, the natural expression of
the charity which never faileth? To: say

Singular Hallucination.
George Smith of Stockton-on-Tees was
charged at Holywell with being ' a wan-
dering lunatic. Smith, who is a sldlled
workman and reSpfi-tably connected, had
some months ago been employed on spe—
cial work at Mostyn iron works, when he
complained that a young woman from
that neighborhood had put him un-
der a spell and had taken out his eyes
and put her own in their place. He was
then. taken in charge by his friends, but
afterward went back to Mostyn for. the
purpose of claiming the return of his
eyes. He was ordered to be sent to the
asylum at Denbigh.—London Tit-Bits.
