Christian EndssvOr convention. 1t was
eventful because of the incident on the
Champ lie Mars last night, in which some
of the N.ndeavorers were stoned. This
morning the outrage was freely discussed
and commented upon. The gOssiplng dele

discussion of this IA matter: Tor

the event. which has been so much talked
about to-day:

public meeting held On this side Of the tent on
the Champ de Mars for which this convention is
In no way responsible. Some statements were
made and some uttered for which this
convention is not responsible. This should fully
and plainly be understood by all IL should also

the sentiments of this convention. / speak for
you all when l say that there has been no inten-
ton or desire on the part of this convention to
insult any one, toyhurt any ones religious feelings
or to decry their creed. Isn't that your senti-

The convention meeting in the Drill He'll
was guarded by aixty policemen this even
ing. under the command of Subchief La
Pointe and three sergesnts. This step was
taken because of the smouns OF rumors
and talk about the Champ de Mars meet
ing. However, the reputation OF the Oh
noxIous utteraDees of last night by Presi-
dent Clark this morning had a good effect,
for all the French papers came ont this
evening and declared that the utterances of
DR.. Clark were perfectly satisfactory and
insult had been intended Oy tho visitors.
