He Says Final Adjustment Must BE
Made NOW.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July S.-Hugh O'Don-
nell, the leader Of the workers, was seen to-
day by the Associated Press correspondent.
When asked what he had to say regarding
the assertion of Mr.. FTick that only
325 Of $500 men were directly az
fected by the reduction in wages, he
replied: II frankly admit the truth of the
assertion, but the situation as il now stands
is this: Ii the men were to concede the
point 1t would open the way for general
reduction in all the departments.
1t is matter of strict principle with the
Amalgamated Association to stand firmly
by its men. who are one and oil banded
together for mutual support and the cause
OF one member is the cause Of all. If the
mon went back to work and consented to
the reduction Of wages OF 325 Of their num-
Der, eventually the wages of all the others
would be reduced.
The men will under no consideration
yield to the expiration of the scale ia De-
cember, The output of that season is much
less, and they could i'll afford to lie idle at
that time of the year, as there would surely
be suffering among the poorer classes. No,
sir. the final adjustment must be made

Winchester, susrected Of being interested
with Van Bremen in smuggling operations
with the Eliza Edwards now detained at
San Diego, arrived at home this evening
He has made long statement to the Morn

stating that Van Bremer was a patient of
his for several years, and the object par
tally Of the Eliza Edwards coming down
the coast was to take Van Bremen on a sea
trip for his health. Another object was to
sell the boat as there is no demand for seal
ers, Tor which business she was built, at
present, owing TO the Bering Sea troubles.
Winchester was in Les Angeles on his
way East when he heard of the trouble, and
went tn San Diego to help his friend.
His reason for registering under an as
sumed name was that he was constantly
besieged by reporters and customs officers
and wished to be rid of them. He denies
all knowledge of the story that the Eliza
Edwards was going IN search of lost treas
ure in COcos Island.
The story that he offered money TO the
San Diego Union to suppress news Is en-

How the Society Has Crown

The Christian Endeavor movement is one
oil the most remarkable in the history of the
evangelical churches. 1t is a thoroughly
n0n-sectarian movement, and includes ali
Of the evangelical denominations. 1t was
started In Portland, Me-, February . 1851
eleven years ag0-and now includes over
1900 societies, and numbers over 1900, 600
members.
The society has grown from a modest
effort TO hold together the young converts
of revival in Portland. Rev. Francis K.
Clark, pastor OF Willston Church in that city.
conceived the idea as best calculated to inter-
est the young people OF his church in religious
work. and also as affording needed train
ing for the new beginners, who might other
wise stray away. 1t proved success, and.
attracting the attention Of other ministers.
they promptly followed his example. For
time the work was conducted as purely
local movement with each church, but in
June, 1882, a conference was held, and it
was agreed to organize q general society.
There were then 4S1 members; in 1883 there
were 2670; in 1884. S905; in 1885, 10. o64: In
1886. $4,000; in 1857, 0,000; in 1885, 300, ,000;
in 1889. 100000; in 1890, over 6G0, 600; in
1891, over 100000, and In 1892 1900. 600
The object OF the society, as set forth by
its literature. is ito train young people for
the duties of their own church and denomi-
nation. 1t exists TO make young people
loyal and efficient members of the church
Of Christ. Like the Sunday school, each
no sense outside of that church." 1t is in
tended practically to fill the place among
young adult members OF evangelical
churches that the Sunday-schools fill among
the children. 1t has grown in about ths
same proportion In ell of the great evangel-
ical denominations, and has received the
hearty support of all alike without engen-
dering any jealousies. The motto of the
society is ''For God and the Church." In
addition 10 the society proper there il

dren OF the local churches and Sunday
schools, from which they are when old
OLD enough graduated into the parent So
ciety.
The anniversary Of the establishment of
the ilIst society. February 2. is celebrated
as Christian Endeayor Day" This cele-
Dration takes the form of uniting in univer-
sal prayer for other Christian Endeavor
societies throughout the world and in a
contribution from the society treasury to
the home or foreign missionary board of
the denomination to which the society be-
longs. The society Is not confined TO the
United States. but extends 10 MANY foreign
countries. There are fiourishing societies
in places as remote as Foochow, Honolulu
and other foreign lands.
