ship Umbrin.
New York, August o5.-The passen.
gers OF the steamship Umbria, while at
sea on Thursday last, arranged for a con.
cert Tor the joint benefit Of tho Sailors
Snug Harbor on Staten Island, and the
Blue Anchor Society, OF Liverpool.
Sir Henry Tyler, President of the
Canadian Pacific railroad, was chairman
OF the committee OF arrangements, The
committee arranged with young ladies
on board to sell the programmes, and
the money WAS to be given 10 the desery.
ing charities mentioned.
But the committee OF arrangements
did not count upon their host, Captain
Mckay. He demanded OF them why
they had inaugurated concert without
his knowledge, and why they had made
arrangements with the ships printer
without his permission. lie said that
no concert could be held if any part OF
the proceeds were to 90 TO American in.
stitutions.
The passengers selected Joseph J,
ODonohue, Of this city; Mrs. Belva
Lockwood, Of Washington, aud Sir
Henry Tyler, the cbairman OF the ar.
rangements committee, 10 call upon the
captain. They explained 10 Captain
Mckay that it would cause q great deal
Of vexa.ion il the concert was not held,
and Mr.. O'Donohue said that it was
unfair for the American passengers on
British steamships to contribute to the
support OF British seamen.
Finally Capt. Mckay consented to the
concert provided the proceeds were given
to the Liverpool Home for the Aged
Mariners. This home provides the En-.
glish passenger ships with programmes,
which are printed on one side only by
them, with picture OF the home and a
number OF cottages which it maintains
al! over England. Inside are printed
the programmes OF tho concerts held
aboard the ship. There were 430 pro.
grammes printed for this concert. The
cost for this was twenty-five pounds.
This money was paid by Miss Lockwood
to Capt. Mckay who turned,it over to
the purser.
Capt. Mckay was in gracious mood
yesterday afternoon when he received q
reporter on board the Umbria. at is Il
small matter" he said, ito make fuss
about. II fact, there wns no fuss at all,
Mr. O'Donohue aud Mrs. Lockwood
came to see me and urged tho propriety
OF joining the Sailors Snug Harbor with
the British Home for Sailors. srg.
gested that it was not quite tho proper
thing to do"
why was it not the proper thing?"
THE English seamen, especially the
mercantile seamen, aro not as we'll pro.
vlded for as the American seamen :"
Captain Mckay replied. "In the English
home at Liverpool arc maintained about
72 seamen, and tits all that the merchant
navy can do to provide for them com.
iortably. II we relaxed our energy one
bit there would be nothing for them but
the workhouss or the grave. The ques.
tion Of the disposition Of the money col.
lected at these concerts has.beon raised
on other ships, and it has always been
settled in the way that settled it."

SUBMISSION, ". Va, August e5.-Nevel
In the history OF the West Virginia con
ference have tho Mcthodists OF the Clarks
burg district turned out IN such large
numbers as they did yesterday at the
annual camp meeting near here. The
day opened bright aud cool, the roads
were moderately dry and everything as,
sisted TO make this 1nal camp meeting
memorable. Commencing at early day
light wagons Of every description from
tho nondeacript, hall hay rigging, half
buck board, 10 the most elegant coach,
from the breaker TO the most stylish
buggy, might have been seen vending
their way over the hills from every direc.
ton, all bound for the same place. Even
the very early morning services were
largely attended.
Tne railroad people had prepared to
handle largo crowd, but even they
were not prepared for tho immense mass
OF people who wished TO take the early
trains, and there was considerable DELAY
at hrst by their having to double theif
road, trains rushing past crowded sta.
lions only to return and pick the pas.
eengers up later, but by noon, through
tde efficient management Of Supt,
Bo%les and his assistants, everything
Was running evenly, and the arrange.
ments for getting the crowd home at
night being admirable. The aBt regu.
lar morning service began at 10 80
o'clock and was attended by large con.
sregaiion. Rev. Mr. Morris, OF Prunty.
town, preached IN old.fashioned camp
sermon, which was listened to
with great Interest.
The afternoon SERVICE though, was
he event OF the day. Ths Rev. D. L.
Ash, OF the Wesley church, Wheeling,
lad consented to preach and by 2 o'clock,
he time set for the opening Of the Ser.
'ice, there was not vacant seat in the |
immense space before tho ministers
iand. After the singing Of Two or three

Ir. Ash stepped out and began bis dis.
'ourse. 1t was scholarly and eloquent
crmon and during It's delivery, It Is
ale TO say that he completely controlled

oibed in the subject OF the sermon.
his service closed at about I O'Clock,
when preparations commenced for the
lomeward trip, and by evening the
rounds were deserted in comparison
'ith the crowd Of the day.
The meeting will close on Wednesday

How do you suppose it would be good
for the pablic il we could not run our

Who would suffer? We think we are
in the right in this matter and are pre-.
pared to stand by it. It's just question
Of whether We shall have the right TO

were present. Mr.. 7. V. Powderly en-.

repudiated tho position now taken by

Mr.. Mcguire was the next speaker.
lie referred Batirically to the relation OF
Mr.. Depew with the present situation.
When Mcguire had finished, Mr..

with a perfect tumnlt of applause. He
said tha. la the building there we're

and action. The strike was nj.
ready won and he proclaimed
1t a victory. Justice was with the
men and with justice came public senti.
ment which was what was wanted, for
some day In the near future that public
sympathy would knock at the State
Capitol and show that the State had &C.
qnired the rails OF the State through this
strike.
Mr.. powderly asked il any member OF

he spoke to him and he called upon that
order TO array themselves on the side
OF labor despitetheir unworthy action. 1t
was not until 7. N. Arthur took charge
that such ntfarious doiugs were made
public. The order must soon snow it's
hand despite its bribed Chief. The
Central road was refusing freight, a.
though it was the law Of the State that
should all take all freight offered. The
law should descend, aud instead OF call
iug out the militia ssizs the road for re.
fusing to do it's duty.
AT the conclusion OF his remarks, Mr..
Powderly offered the following resolu-
tiou, which was adopted by storm OF
unanimous approval:
"Resolred, That it is the sense OF this
meeting that the introduction OF an
armed force in the State Of New York
in time Of peace is an outrage against
the laws OF our State, is in violation Of
every law Of humanity, and should bs,
forever stopped at the next session OF
