GENERAL HOWARD. SPOKE
lECTURED BEFORB CHRISTIAN EN
DEAVOR CONVENTION.
Opposed to Spirit "Which. "Would
"Wrench Prom Man "What He Ha
IiOved and Believed In.
CINCINNATI, July 7. The weather to
day -was perfect, and the Christian En.
deavorers spent a busy day, .From morn
ins till evening, and during almost every
hour of rhe day, there were services going
on in some part of the city. The day
opened with three quiet-hour meetings of
one hour each, held in three of the largest
of the city's churches, and conducted by
Rev. Floyd W. Tompkins, of Philadel
phia, and Rev. Mr. Woelfkln, of Brooklyn.
The meeting at the Central Christian
Church was to have been conducted by
Bev. J. "W. Chapman, of New York City,
who is seriously ill at his country home
at Winona Lake, Ind., and a large con
course of people had assembled there in
expectation of hearing him, but the meet
ing was declared off. The various pulpits
about the city were occupied during the
rest of the day by the visiting ministers,
whose topics were "Twenty Years of
Christian Endeavors."
The attendance at these meetings was
large, and especially so at vthe St Paul's
M. E. Church, where Rev. Charles M.
Sheldon, of Topeka, Kan., spoke.
The afternoon -was devoted to three
simultaneous evangelistic meetings in the
Music Hall Auditorium. These meetings
were classified for men, women and chil
dren. The attendance at all was large,
and much evangelistic work was accom
plished, especially at the men's meeting,
in the Auditorium Endeavor. This meet
ing was to have been conducted by Rev.
Mr. Chapman, of New York, and in hi3
absence a representative of the laity,
"William Phillips Hall, of New York City,
conducted it President Clarke occupied
the chair a portion of the meeting.
The meeting of the women in the Audi
torium proved to be a temperance meet
ing. It was conducted by General Secre
tary John "Willis Baer, of Boston. The
burden of the remarks were for temper
ance, not only in the use of Intoxicating
drinks, but of tobacco as welL The at
tendance at this meeting was the largest
of the three evangelistic sessions. .
In the Auditorium Ohio, the children
held sway, led by the new field secretary,
Clarence E. Beerman, of Lancaster, Pa.
Treasurer "William Shaw, of Boston, and
Miss Kate H. Haus, of St. Louis, ad
dressed the children, admonishing them
in the ways of righteousness and illus
trating the dangers of cigarettes and
other smoking and bad reading, that chil
dren are so apt to contract In their young
days. Mrs. Frances E. Clarke, of Boston.
wife of President Clarke, spoke of the
Junior Christian Endeavor, and Its ac
complishments for the young people.
At the conclusion of the big Music Hall
Auditorium rallies, three special meetings
were held in the Central Christian Church,
the Ninth-Street Baptist Church, and
the Second Presbyterian Church, all in
the central part of the city. The meet
ings were large and enthusiastic. Treas
urer Shaw, of Boston, presided at the ses
sion at the Central Presbyterian Church.
General O. .0. Howard, of Burlington,
Vt, spoke in part as follows:
Address of General O. O. Howard.
"Since the incoming of what is called
higher criticism, and during the last two
decades of theoretic evolution, taught to
our young men in colleges, it has become
the fashion to lay stress upon the earthly
life, the naturalistic life of men, women
and children here and now. Even in our
best sermons, we miss the Old Testament
Scriptures. Illustrations abound which?
snow more reading of other books and
less study of the Bible. ItJ seems to have
been the custom, with our younger clergy
men especially, to treat children and
youths as they do plants. Their environ
ment is studied; the development is begun
and corelations continued from babyhood
to the kindergarten, from the kindergar
ten to the grammar school, with the in
dustrial thrown in; from the grammar
school to the high school; and from the
high school to the college, academy, pro
fessional, trade or commercial stage.
"I do not object tto the severe criticism
of the Scripture text, and the most
searching investigation as to what holy
men of old really wrote when they were
Tnoved by God's holy spirit, but I do dis
trust all tierce triumph which some men
manifest when they show or think' they
have shown that Washington was not a
good man; that Shakespeare did not write
the books reputed to him, and that Moses
was not the composer of the Pentateuch.
I object tto the partisan spirit which un
dertakes to wrench from us that which
we have loved and trusted and believed in
and worked with from our spiritual child
hood to our spiritual manhood. Truth we
want. Truth we welcome. So let us
have the whole truth, and send forth men
and women into the field as missionaries
arid endeavorers to exalt the Savior, and
who are able to teach the simple truth,
which men and women need, and proclaim
the good tidings of great Joy continually
and without reservation. As we proclaim
the truth in our enlarged possessions, in
all our sparsely settled country, amid
the new and Ignorant and superstitious
population, far away in Hawaii, from
shore to shore of Cuba, and among the
Porto RIcans, and the 8,000,000 Filipinos,
obeying our Master's last command to
preach and teach everywhere, let us see
to it that we give no uncertain sound;
that we deliver no uncertain tidings, no
lame and weak proclamation. Heeding
this method, the old and well-tried meth
od, the successful method, we shall have
abundant fruitage."
Salvation From the Saloon.
The meeting at the Central Christian
Church was conducted by Secretary Jphn
Willis Baer. This was a temperance
meeting, and was addressed by Colonel
George W. Bain, of Lexington, Ky.; Rev.
Anna H. Shaw, of Philadelphia, and Oliver
w. bpewart, of Chicago. Mr. Stewart J
spoKe ot -aaivauon .From the Saloon."
He said in part:
"Salvation from the saloons. "Who
needs it? The drunkard needs it. The
business man needs it, from the sinful
waste of the llauor traffic The Govern
met needs it from the period of saloon
rule and control of its institutions. More
than all others, the Christian needs it He
needs salvation from his own guilt and
complicity In the sinful policy that his
Government now pursues. "Who can save
him from his guilt? He alone. He must
save himself If it requires him to build
a new party. He must save himself,
though It takes him into a party that he
long has ridiculed, and has never even
dreamed that he would ultimately sup
port He must save himself or he will
be lost, and with him eur institutions,
coirtmerce and prosperity."
The meeting at the Ninth-Street Baptist
Church was for the foreign missionaries.
The German Christian Endeavor Society
held its first meeting in the Phllllpua
Church, Dr. Clarke being the main speak
er. During the evening there was a shift
ing of the various ministers, who occupied
local pulpits in the morning.
It is estimated by the local committee
that there are at least 10,000 visiting En
deavorers in this city, and many more are
expected to arrive tomorrow. The at
tendance will not Teach the limit that the
local committee had made provisions for,
but Speaker Clarke is more than pleased
with the Tesults. He stated that during
the recent period of extreme torrid weath
er that swept the country from coast to
cdast from the Gulf to the Great Lakes,
he had some fears that the attendance
would be small, and-is gratified that the
Endeavorers risked the discomforts of
travel to attend the "convention. x
Tho convention begins Monday, a it
does on the rest of the days of the ses
sion, with the quiet-hour meetings, con
ducted by Rov. Floyd; Tompkins, of Phila
delphia, and Rev. Cornelius "Woelfklng. ot
Brooklyn. A third Tf these meetings was
scheduled to have been conducted by Rev.
Mr. Chapman, of New York, but, op ac
count of his illness, the committee has
canceled his engagements. A number
of special meetings in several churches
will be held in the morning, as will also
one to be devoted to tho session of the
"Twentieth Century Home," at the big
meeting in the Auditorium.

States exported over 510.000,000 worth of
domestic product. The United Kingdom
purchased $408,000,000, and Germany, $134,
000,000 worth. Our agricultural exports to

record, excepting thoso of the extraordi
nary year of 1S98, when a value of $459,000,
000 was attained.
In our trade with Germany, the exports
for 1900 were decidedly in excess of any

of nearly 100 per cent in the five years'
period.
The principal part of our agricultural
exports in 1900 found a market in Europe,
sales to European countries having an
aggregate value of $739,000,000. With the
exception of the phenomenal year 1S98,

OUTWITTED BY OUTLAWS
OFFICERS MISS THE MONTANA
TRAIN? XQDBERS.
It Is Believed the Latter Are ob
Their "Way to the "Hole-la-the-
Wall" in IVyomlBff,
ANACONDA, Mont., July 7, Special
dispatches from a staff correspondent of
"the Anaconda Standard, on the ground,
are to the effect that there is but little
hope of the Sheriff's posse overtaking the
men who held up the Great Northern ex
press train at Wagner, Mont, last Wed.
nesday. The correspondent has just re
turned from tho section of country where
the posse was expected to overtake the
robbers. His account Is that the pursu-t
ing party has been outwitted, and that the
robbers have eluded It.
There are two theories presented. One
Is that the outlaws, who are far better
P. IP YOU DON'T TAKE IT SOME ONE
mounted than their pursuers, have al
ready crossed the Missouri River and are
well on their way toward the "Hole-in-the-Wall"
country in Wyoming, the most
notorious refuge of criminals in the
United States. The Hole-in-the-Wall Is a
fastness practically Impregnable, and
capable of being successfully defended by
a few men against almost any force. The
region between the point in the Missouri
breaks and the Hole-ln-the-Wall is sparse
ly settled, a few scattered cattle ranches
being the only evidences of human habi
tation. Pursuit over this wild section, ac
cording to old plainsmen, is virtually
hopeless. ,
The other theory is that the robbers
have gained the intricacies of the 'bad
lands along the Missouri Biver, near the
Uttle Rockies, and are there awaiting
the time when the chase shall have grown
cold, and then seize a favorable opportun
ity to ford the river at a place where
crossing could not be effected by men' un
familiar with the river and its treacher
ous windings. Every foot of the ground
Js an open book to the robbers, who have
used the vicinity as their stamping-ground
for years.
The officers are still In the field, but it
Is the opinion of those who are on the
ground that the scene of active pursuit
must now be transferred to Yellowstone,
Custer or Dawson County, through one or
more of which the robbers must pass to
reach the Hole-ln-the-Wall.
Policemen Killed Prisoner.
LEADVILLE, Colo., July 7.At 3 o'clock
this morning A. L. Cassldy was almost
Instantly killed by Policeman J. J. Mc
Donnell. Cassldy waoA the way to jail
to answer a charge of breach of the
peace, when he started to run away. The
policeman called to him to halt, but he
continued running, and the officer shot
him down. Cassldy came here from Crip
ple Creek last Fall, and has a wife living
at Colorado Springs.
Arrest of Priest Causes Sensation.
MEXICO CITY, July 7. The arrest and
imprisonment in communlcado of Father
IcaEa, a parish priest of the Church of
Catlrina, has created a profound sensa
tion. He is accused of . grave crimes
against women, and hi accusers are the
husband of one of the women, and Senor
Terrazas, once editor of a fanatical ultra
clerical weekly paper. The case will be
the? great Judicial event of the year.

BLACK WEEK IN GERMANY
Depression on Bourses the Worst
Since April of Last Year.
BERLIN, July 7.-Although the failure
of the Treber-Trocknung Company was
expected after the Leipsic crash, the
event caused the deepest depression on
all German bourses. This and other fac
tors made last week the blackest since
the reaction began in April last year. De
clines were scored in every department.
The market's weakest spot was indus
trials, the condition of which was panicky.
The week's reports from Industrial cen
ters were unfavorable, the declines In
Iron shares ranging from 8 to 16 points,
and in coal shares from 8 to 20 points
The transactions in American railway
securities for the week were next to
nothing.
LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Conditions Improved, hut Actual
Business Worse Than Ever.
LONDON, July 7. - Paradoxical as it
may sound, air the conditions of the Lon
don stock exchange, during the past week,
have improved, while actual business has
been worse, if possible, than ever before.
Money has been exceedingly plenty, and
prices generally better, hut dealings from
various causes have been at about the
lowest ebb. An annoying feature of the
week's stagnation fs the fact that large
sums of money are actually yearning for
investment, but the public, from the force
of many weeks' habit, refuses to do any
thing but "sit tight"
Consols were a shade better for the
past week, and nearly two points above
their quotation during the recent slump.
Home rails, as predicted, improved slight
ly. Northern lines were from to 1
better, while Southern lines remained sta
tionary, or had but fractional losses.
American securities, with a few excep
tions, quietly continued their upward
trend during the past week, although the
actual dealings during this time were
comparatively small. It Is Interesting to
note, however, the change In the tone
of English financial writers toward the
American market. These writers say the
American boom created a rush of specu
lation, which has now become legitimate.
Tho Investors' Review, which is notorious
ly bearish In Us tone, alone dissents frqro
the favorable commentaries on the Amer
ican market, "declaring that under the
surface a financial crisis is impending in
the United States, and warns bankers of
the enormous amount of American bills
afloat here, and suggests the throwing
out of a certain class of bills, in order to
precipitate an Immediate panic, which the
Investors' Review- says could be better
met now than after more American se
curities have been floated here.

LETTERS OF HOHELOHE.
A KeTr Words on Emperor William'
Famous Telegram to Krnger.
LONDON, July 8. By far the most In
teresting comments upon the career of
Prince von Hohenlohe, many columns of
whloh appear in the London morning pa
pers, are those of the Times, whose Paris
correspondent makes Important revela
tions regarding the dead statesman.
Among many confidential letters and con
versations attributed to him -while Im
perial Chancellor Is the following sum
mary of his estimate of Emperor "Will-
"His greatest falling is that he does
not think there are any limits to his will.
It Is almost impossible to tell beforehand
where he will be and what he will do. It
often happens that weeks pass without
my seeing him. Then ho suddenly ap
pears. I am amazed at his knowledge of
details of what is going on."
Regarding Emperor "William's famous
telegram to Mr. Kruger at the time of the
Jameson raid, Prince von Hohenlohe said:
"If the Emperor had known that Jame
son had so many song of respectable Eng
lish families with him, he would not have
sent the telegram. He thought Jameson
had only filibusters with him, and that
It was an act of brigandage."
On his appointment to the Imperial
Chancellorship he wrote the following:
"I know what a burden I am taking on
my old shoulders. I hope for nothing, and
am resigned to everything."
Inhuman Atrocities of Boers.
LONDON, July 8, Tho Daily Mail gives
Bensatlonal prominence thla morning to
mail advices from Vlakfonteln ,relatlve to
the Boers' inhuman atrocities that the
censor would not allow to be described
by cable.
"A couple of Boers," says the Dally
Mail's correspondent, "who were armed
with Martinis, walked: around among the
dead and dying. Some they turned over
to see If they were dead. If it were oth
erwise, then one or the other of the Boers
shot them as you would shoot an ox. I
saw four killed In this way. One young
ster pleaded for his life. I heard him
say: 'Oh. Christ, don't ' and then bang
went the rifle. That is what happened."
The Dally Mall protests vigorously
against the suppression by the censor of
such details.

HARDLY CABINET TIMBER
CABINET OFFICERS RESENT TALK
. A "OF CORTEIYOU. '
Ittv,- Ho-vrcvcr, Is aCnnnble Man,
aad McKinlcy -yf)ll JJndonbtcdly
Look: Out for Him.
WASHINGTON, July -From time to
time the suggestion Is made that when a
Cabinet change occurs next the Presi
dent's secretary, George B. Cortelyou,
will be gfven the Cabinet place, 'When
ever this Is mentioned to a Cabinet offi
cer, It is vigorously denied, and la re
sented with considerable vigor. It is not
known whether the Cabinet officers have
expressed their opinions to the President,
but they have made it plain in many
quarters that the selection of Mr. Cortel
you would not meet with any especial
favor from them. Now, as a matter of
fact, there is not any real reason why
a Cabinet place should not be given Mr.
Cortelyou, and there Is, a possibility that
the President would be glad to recog
nize him. If Mr. Cortelyou is attentive to
his own interests he would not take a
Cabinet place, except it might be a. stepping-stone
towards securing a good busi
ness position In the near future. The
precedent for appointing a private secre
tary to a Cabinet position was established
when Cleveland came In, a second time
and selected Daniel Lamont for the po
sition. But during the Interim between
Latnont's career as private secretary to
the President and his being made Secre
tary ot War In Cleveland's next Adminis
tration, four years had elapsed, and In
that time Lamont had developed a won
derful business capaplty, and had been
engaged In large affairs. He was to a
certain extent associated with William C.
Whitney, one .of President Cleveland's
first Cabinet officers, and one of the most
prominent business men in New York, as
well as one of the leading Democrats of
the Nation.
Mr. Cortelyou, on the other hand, ha3
had no particular business training. Sev
eral years ago he was one of the steno
graphic clerks in the Postoffice Depart
ment. During Cleveland's second term he
became ithe private secretary of the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General, the
celebrated Bob Maxwell, who was the
headsman of that Administration. Cortel
you showed a great deal of tact and was
a first-class official. A young man named
O'Brien was Mr. Cleveland's confidential
shorthand clerk, and he resigned the po
sition to become a Washington corre
spondent of a Boston paper. Cleveland
and Maxwell had been old chums in Buf
falo, and the President mentioned to Max
well the loss he was sustaining In O'Brien,
who was a first-class stenographer and
a good all-around man. Maxwell suggest
ed Cortelyou for the place, saying he
hated -to lose him himself, but that he
would find him a first-class man. Cleve
land said he would give him a trial.
That Is the way George B. Cortelyou be
came an official of the White House.
Thurber was the Private Secretary, but
Cortelyou was the stenographic secretary.
Cleveland became fond of him, and liked
him for his careful, painstaking work.
When President MoKlnley came In, Cleve
land had a good word for nearly all of the
men that had been associated with him
In the White House, and among them
Mr. Cortelyou. Mr. Cortelyou continued
with President McKInley In the confi
dential position he had held with Presi
dent Cleveland, while Porter was private
secretary. When Porter resigned, Cortel
you had all of the business so well In
hand that he was made secretary, and
the President has had no reason to regret
it. In fact he has found him to be a
very efficient man. He Is not only pri
vate secretary in the- sense of giving ad
vice and considering everything possible
for tho President's official and personal
welfare, but he Is ready at any time to
take anything tho President has to say in
shorthand, which is more than many other
private secretaries have been able to do.
The objection which the Cabinet has to
Mr. Cortelyou may be summed up In a
word they think a Cabinet position Is a
little larger thaa that of a successful
stenographic clerk, and that la all that
Cortelyou Is. This may be so. and the
possibilities are that the President will
look for something else for Mr. Cortelyou
towards the end of his term.
Gomez Likes Roof-Gardens.
General Maximo Gomez, Cuban patriot,
soldier, statesman and scholar, has ac
quired the roof garden habit in Its most
acute and vlrtilerit form, says the Phila
delphia. North American.
The rpof garden as it rears itself heav
enward. In New York. Is absolutely new
to the man who has lived his life in Ha
vana, where two-storied houses are the
rule, and where but two elevators are
used in the whole city.
"How do T like your sky theaters?" he
said. "Immensely. Tlrey are beautiful as
a spectacle, and there Is something na
tional arid epic about your cakewalk. but
Mt seems very hard work for the young
ladles. Now In Cuba we permit our
s"ejves to be amused by cockfights, which
seem, more polite."
Naturally qne's American ideas are
shocked at the suggestion that a cock
fight is more polite than Charmion or
Norman Whalley and the other charming
rdof-garden ladles in this week's bills, and
I ventured to suggest that Idea to the
Illustrious Cuban.
"Ah," he said, "I mean that it seems
rather brutal to see-these handsome ladles
-worlt ao-hard on a hot nlght-to amuse an
audienc0 that might enjoy Itself quit as
D
UL

well at the expense of a pair of gamo
fowls."
He seemed surprisedt and even pained,
that American audiences weren't edu
cated up to the point of being amused
at seeing two birds kill each other, and
tranquilly repeated his opinion that ac
tresses must feel the heat to a pitiful
degree.
As between amusements in Havana and
In New York, It Is painfully evident that
General Gomez prefers the Cuban idea.
He detests the bull fight, as most Cubans
do, by the way, but it Is evident that ho
considers the cakewalk and the roof gar
den ballet a form of torture that should
be frowned upon.
TO EXAMINE DAIRY EXPORTS
Government Will Inaugurate a Sys
tem of Inspection.
WASHINGTON, July 7. The agricul
tural appropriation act for the current
fiscal year authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture, in hl3 discretion, to apply
the law for the inspection and branding of
live cattle and products of the dairy in
tended for exportation, the purpose being
to enable our exporters of dairy products
to give foreign buyers the assurance ot
certification by the Government of the
United States of the purity, quality and
grade of our dolry products. Secretary
Wllson has decided to exercise the au
thority conferred on him by establishing
in tluj customs districts of Boston. New
York, Chicago and San Francisco a sys
tem of inspection of dairy products, but
first will have experts in those districts
gather all possible data in order thatef-"
ficient regulations may be drafted for th'o
conduct of this new service. A beginning
will be made In a tentative- way with the
purpose in view to bring about a practical
and honest system by which all people
may be properly protected. It Is stated
at the department to be "probable that
at an early date tho owners or shippers
of products for export may, upon applica
tion, have the same marked and certified
as to the purity and quality, provided they
are above the minimum grade, yet to ba
fixed."
