STR Goderick Cnmeron's Yacht.

A Montreal special says; Sir Rode
rick Cameron, OF New York, passed
through the city Monday on his way to
Ottawa to interview the Minister OF
Marine in reference TO the seizure Of
his yacht at Buctouche. Sir Roderick
has fishing cottage at Tadonsac,
where be passes several months every
summer salmon fishing. He ar
rived there few days ago in
company with number of New
York friends, and sent his yacht
round by sea in charge Of the captain,
Sir Roderjck's son being also on board.
During the voyage she encountered some
heavy weather, losing her jibboOm and
springiDg her mast. She was conse-
Quently forced to put into Buctouche,
New Brunswick, for repairs. There
she was seized by the customs authori-
ties on the ground that she had infringed
the customs regulations, as she had not
the necessary papers. 1t appears that
the captain had in his possession
the usual license issued to yachts
by the United States Secretary Of
State, which entities them to
enter and leave any British port with
out reporting to the customs. The Cap
tain failed to show bis papers and fine
Of 800 was imposed. The customs Of
ficials also seized a quantity Of linen,
crockery, and other articles which were
being conveyed for the use Of the house
at Tadousac. These were subsequently
released on the payment Of 525 to recoup
the officer for his trouble in making the
seizure. Sir Roderick refuses to pay
the ;i00 fire.

A man Of Gesture.

The Hon. Joseph Cannon, the loud
talking member from Illinois, cannot
speak q minute without striking out
vigorously with his left arm. The
faster he talks the swifter his left fist
flies through the air at the
Democratic side OF the House
His compliments in that direc.
ton are always lefthsnded. One day
two OF three sessions back, "Sunset y
Cox had the floor in the midst Of ar
important debate. Cannon jumped VI
to ask him question, and as usual SCI
his left arm in motion, with the long
bony forefnger violently vibrating to-
ward tho head of the New York hu
morist.
II will grant the gentleman request
upon one condition." said Cox.
"What is it?" asked Cannon.
THAT you put your left hand ii
your pocket and keep it there until YOU
get through with your question:" re
piled Cox.
Cannon was not little nonplussed
at the novelty Of the contract, but pro-
ceeded TO comply with the terms. lie
did not get half through with his ques.
ton, however, before out flew his fist
on level with "Sunset."

Failure aUd Right.

a New York special says: Quite a
commotion was caused down town
in the sugar district when it was
learned that the large sugar commits
sion house Of j. De Rivera Il Co. had
failed, and that the senior partner,
Henry g. De Rivera, had fed. The
failure is the most mysterious that has
taken place down town in years, and
the trade, as well as the junior men,
btrs Of the firm, are yet unable to
explain Dc Riyera's flight.
The firm was established forty years
ago. Perry R. King, who was MEN,
Der Of the firm up to the suspension
two years ago, and who has since then
been intimately connected with the
finn and carried its power of attorney,
said that he had been summoned from
out Of town to look after the firm, and
had not had an opportunity as yet to
acquaint himself with the situation.
lie could assign no reason for DE
Riyera's flight. Mr.. De Riyera's habits
have always been steady and correct.
lie is a eidOwer, forty-fiye years Of age,
ard resided with his children in east
Ihirtieth street.

Ths BolA Warrior sends PROPOSE
sion which General Miles
aGranea

An Albuquerque IN. NJ specislssy
General Miles has been here two days
perfsctipg plans for the conditional sur
render of Geronimo. While Miles has
prosecuted a vigorous campaign Geroni-
mo has kept out Of the way and is now
in the mountains in Mexico two hun.
bred miles south Of the Arizona line.
One of Geronimo's band returned few
DAYS ago to the San Carlos reservation,
from whom it is learned that Geroni-
mo is without ammunition, food, or
horses, and wants to surrender.
It is strongly surmised that he has
brought in an offer Of surrender with
terms, but Miles's lips are sealed re-
gsrding the matter. In his anxiety to
bring the Apache troubles in the South
west again to a close General Miles has
concluded to accept conditional sur
render. The General has chosen q
number of White-Mountain Apaches to
conduct negotiations; Of these, Sub
Chiefs Kattah and Martinez arrived to-
day from Fort Apache, and will pro-
coed south tonight, with army officers,
to the front. A band of about twenty
more Of these Apaches will reach here
tomorrow on their way to the front,
and will be followed by General Miles
and staff. Miles assumes all response
bility of the surrender, feeling that the
country will back him in winding up a
tedious campaign.
Your correspondent learned from a
very reliable source that Miles will not
hesitate to grant Geronimo whatever
terms be will demand. All he wants is
to get the big chief in his clutches, and
he doubtless will never have another
opportunity of going on the war-path.
Miles has surrounded his plans with
the utmost secrecy, but what his pur-
poses are regarding the future Of Gero-
nimo can only be surmised. L. Q. c.
Lamar, Jr., OF the Interior Depart
ment, was in conference with General
Miles and Governor Ross here yester-
day, TO further, it is surmised, the pro-
position for the permanent removal OF
the hostile Apaches from the South
west. Mr.. Lamar will return to Wash
ington in day or so.

the book Of Matthew 10 succession, aud
expects TO complete this book by the
end of the session.
Major d. W. White spoke the first
dsv. lie is An exceedingly earnest
evangelist, ana about forty years old.
Major white delivered very practi-
cal address and very appropriate to the
opening of the meeting, in which he
urged the young men to 9 renewed con-
secration preparatory to the blessing that
was to be given to them, and that they
must not depend upon the enthusiasm
Of the meetings, but to seek inspira-
ton individually.
Rev. DR.. Morehead, Of Xenia (0hio)

Brooks, pastor Of Q Presbyterian
church of St. Louis; DR.. A. 7. Pier.
son, Of Philadelphia |; DR.. A. G. Cor
don, of Boston, and Rev. W. Clark
are here to conduct the meetings on
different days.
The meetings thus far are having
their good effect, and by the end Of the
session it is hoped that Mr.. Moody's
wishes will be realized-that is, to got
every body perfectly in love with the
Holy Bible. 1t is indeed thrilling to
see nearly three hundred young men so
eager to know the hidden and mighty
truths of the Bible, which Mr.. Moody
and others make plain and interesting.
One hour day is given to the study OF
college-sssociation work under Mr.. l..
Wishard and Dir. &. Ii. ODER.
Large numbers of State Young Mems
Christian Association secretaries in
struct the students, and the SUBJ
ject Of college prayer-mseting, Bible
training, and intercollegiate work,
and individual work is taken up
and discussed. Three principal meet
ings are held a day. In the morning
at s o'clock Young Mems Chris.
tisn Association. From 10 to IL
o'clock Bible study, under Mr..
Moody and others. The old version as
well as the new are used. together with
a good supply Of note books, which the
students make good use Of and are
found to be valuable. The ministers
who assist Mr., Moody are men Of great
experience and distinction, and, together
with Mr.. Moody's master mind, nothing
but the best results can be had from
instruction under and associations with
these noble men. Professor Towner
has a class in music, which he instructs
every evening at O'Clock, and one in
harmony. at 9 A. NJ, and all those who
care to train the voice are offered rare
opportunities, as Professor Towner has
a powerful yet very sweet voice, and
understands music thoroughly.
A more detailed account, as well as
extracts from the addresses, will be
