DELEGATES WELL CARED FOR.
SENSATIONAL REPORTS THAT c.
E. VISITORS ARE DISSATISFIED.

The Only Trouble They Have Had is
with Pickpockets who Were On Hand
at the Tent Meeting Last Night-Con-
vention Progress.
MONTREAL, July Some of the
Christian Endeavor delegates who at
tended the tent meeting last night com.
plain that pickpockets awaited their exit
and that more than one attempt at watch
snatching was made.
The delegations from Missouri, Arkan.
sas and Texas arrived in the city by boat
last night, and their arrival about com.
pletes the roll call. 1t is for their arrival
that the presentation of the 1898 com.
mittee banner was postponed uutil Sun.
day. New York will doubtless get this
banner.
The sensational reports sent out from
Montreal that the delegates from the
states are dissatisfied with their quarters
have taken their rise in the individual
kicks from various members rather than
from any considerable body of visitors.
Now that all the delegates have arriv-
ed it is admitted by some of the head
men in the convention that the atten.
dance is rather disappointing, and that 13,
600 IS an outside number for the dele
gates, but this distracts nothing from
the enthusiasm and this morning all the
8 o'clock prayer meetings were well at
tended and the tent and hall were com
| fortably filed.
In the tent Rev. M. Rhodes of St
Louis presided. An open meeting wa
conducted on the Sunday evening ser

apolis. Rev S. v. Karmarkar, an en-
deavorer from Bombay. read paper
