The meetings are to be held in the
large government drill hall and on the
Champ de Mars adjoining, where a large
tent will be erected, in which services
similar to and simultaneous with those
in the hall will be conducted. The drill
hall will seat 5000 people, and the tent is
to accommodate 5000 more. The regu-
lar sessions will begin Thursday morn
ing, July 9. at 10 o'clock, though on the
previous day there will be a meeting Of
the trustees at Windsor hall and large
preparatory meetings in the evening in
the different evangelical churches. Many
of the most eminent divines viii take
active part in the proceedings. and cele-
brated evangelists, lay orators and tenn
perance workers have been assigned
places on the programme Of the four
days proceedings.
President Francis E. Clark, d. D., has
positively announced his intention to be
present. He win be home in ample
time, as he leaves Liverpool on the
Alaska on June II, after the meeting
Of the national convention OF Chris
tan Endeavor for England at Bradford,
which he will attend. DIR. Clark had a
rough, time Of it in Turkey. where he
undertook to foster the work of the So
ciety. and he viii probably have some
thing to say,to the convention about his
experiences. The government got after
him and did everything possible to him
der his work. confiscating his books and
other literature and ~forbidding him to
use the name of the society in his ad-
dresses Many Of the societies there
have been broken up. and if the Chris
tan Endeavor movement progresses in
Turkey it will be despite the efforts Of
the authorities.
President Clark and Secretary Baer
will make their ANIMAL reports on Thurs
day night. alternating between the drill
nall and the tent SO that the audiences
in both places may have the benefit of
hearing them. There will be no regular

The French eggs are esteemed the most

The preparations already made by the
local committee, however. promise ample
accommodations for this vast number,
and it is quite certain that all will be
cared for at reasonable rates. The city

Eek Attorney General 4. A. Ayers, of
this place, returned from Baltimore last
week, where he had boon n attendance
on the United States circuit court of
appeals as attorney in behalf OF toe
present management OF the South
Atlantic and Ohio railroad. This is o
very important case and there is much
diversity Of legal opinion as to whether
the case comes under the Jurisdiction
OF the State or Federal courts. Mr.
Bailey, who has large claim against
the road which the company deny,
had himself appointed receiver by the
State court. Then the Federal court
decided that the State court had no juris.
diction in the case and appointed Messrs.
Haskell and Conklin, who Mr.. Bailey is
trying to Dust. Tho United States circuit
court Of appeals will have final decision
whether the case comes under the State
or Federal courts. The arguments are
all in, but the decision is not ye known.
This place will build SEQ, 900 school

done last summer, but owing to the

hoated in time for its completion. 1t is
certainly very badly needed.

BANKRUPTCY BILL DEBATE
And Incidentally tho House Touches on
Free Silver Coinage.


WAsHINGTON, Dec. IA resolution
was reported from the committee on
accounts and adopted, authorizing the
employment eff several additional clerks
and laborers and assistant doorkeepers
in order to bring the capitol force up to
standard OF proper efficiency.
On motion OF Meyer tho house went
into committee of the whole tC
consider the resolution providing for
the appointments of joint com mittee to
investigate the rank, pay and matters
relating to the personnel OF employees
in the navy. Yesterday when this
resolution was being discussed the
morning hour expired while an effort
was being made to secure quorum.
BY unanimous consent the report OF
the naval affairs committee was read.
The morning hour expired before a
vote could be taken and the bankruptcy
bill was taken up.
Bailey spoke in opposition to tho
measure and announced his intentio to
offer a substitute for it which would Ia
brief, comprehensive and inexpensive,
providing for voluntary bankruptcy
Oates spoke in favor OF the bill and
denied that the only relief which might
benefit the debt.ridden people was tho
free coinage of silver. Ho did not think
that any abundance of silver would ben.
efit the poor, as they would have no
equivalent to exchange for silver.
benson, interrupting, said that the
price Of cotton and commodities would
be advanced, wages raised and an in
creased metallic circulation distributed
where it was most needed
mild free coinage discussion fol-
lowed between the Alabama Congress-
men, the point of difference being the
ratio. Returning to the bill he re-
piled at length to the statements Of Dem
son, which he said were both extreme
and vituperative. TO Denson's asser-
ton that this bill would drive the last
nail in the coffin of liberty, he quoted
Madame Roland's dying exclam alton:
20 liberty, what crimes have been com
mitted in thy name!"
The present bill, be eaid, was the
mildest and most humane bankruptcy
bill which had ever been presented for
the consideration of Congress. The
Federal constitution authorized the
enactment OF such legislation.
At the conclusion of his remarks,
Oates gave notice that, when the bill is
taken up tomorrow, it will be under
tho five minute rule, general debate
having been terminated.
At $3.50 o'clock the House adjourned
until IL o'clock to. morrow.

WASHINGTON, Dec. T.-From the fact
that department clerks have been set
to work making copies of all Hawaiian
documents not already in type, it is
inferred that the President has given
instructions to comply with the Hoar
resolution, adopted by the Senate yes.

ment to that effect is made.
1t is understood that everything
bearing on the subject of tho relations
between the United States and Hawaii
since the provisional government was
established, including the instructions
to Minister Willis, will be furnished to
the Senate. Prominent officials say q
very strong showing will be made by
the additional papers to be made public.
The correspondence will cover twelve
years and the result will probably be-
one of the bulkiest executive docu-
ments on record. The main in forest
will center round this point: Will the
President deem it compatible with the
public interests" to include in his re-
Spouse at this time the instruc tions
originally given to Minister Wills and
any subsequent correspondence that
may have led to the modification of
those instructions if such has been the
course taken?

present and took part in the proceed
Jugs, which were varied and interesting
Among the special features was an en-.
