NEW YORK, May 1l.-H. Maitland
Kersey, agent for the White Star line,
made the discovery last night that the
new rule of the Treasury Department
allowing ships to pass in at night was
not success. 1t looked very nice in
theory. but when put to practical test,
it was found that huge barrier existed
in the way of indignant cabin passen-
gers.
1t was mainly through Mr., Kersey's
efforts that Collector Kilhreath inter-
ested himself in the matter and sue
ceeded in having the rule established,
and now Mr.. Kersey is sorry that he
spoke.
The Britannia, which is the first of
the transatlantic steamships to be
passed under the recent order, reached
Quarantine at $3.50 p. M, yesterday.
Health Officer Doty went out and re-
leased the vessel, and she got under
way, reaching the dock at 11.16.
Mr.. Kersey was on hand, expecting
to find delighted lot of passengers NJ
the prospect of landing. Much to hi:
chagrin, he found matters justine con
trary, and the rs cabin passengers were
on the verge of mutiny. When informed
that the customs inspectors were ready
to pass their baggage, they nearly all de
clared that they would not go ashore
and furthermore, they did not intend &c
have their luggage taken from the vesse
to lie under shed all night.
No amount of arguing could altei
their determination, and the majority
retired. Twelve, however, allowed theii
baggage to be examined. They did moi
leave the pier, though, and returned t.
the ship with their hand baggage aftei
the inspection.

OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAyOR INTEREST


Meeting of the Executive Committee of
Wilmington Union--Methodist Protests
looming Christian Endeavor Events
Monday evening week occurred the
first meeting in the new year Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Wilmington
Christian Endeavor Union. The bust.
ness discussed and transacted was inn
portant, and the Union looks forward
10 fresh impulse to zeal in their work.
In order to make the work of this Union
effeciual, and to secure the greatest pos
sible results, there must be co-opera-
ton and the Endeavorers hope to take
possession OF the strength which is
bound up in this Union, and help to
make the Christian Endeavor societies
q power for good in Wilmington.
One of its epecial works has been the
maintaining of the Sunday Breakfast
Association, which is still progressing.
The aunul report Of this association
will be sent out soon, and it 10 huped
every one receiving a copy will do
something to help along the work. The
poor find their way to these rooms, and
are always there, and the greatest
earthly blessing that can be conferred is
TO find them employment. The sickly,
the lazy and the worst type, the "born-
tired" have to be dealt with according
TO their merits.
METHoDIsTs PROTESTS.
The recent action of the Wesleyans of
England in establishing for their young
people Wesley Guild, instead of a
Christian Endeavor Society or even a
Wesleyan Guild Of Christian Endeavor,
is far from meeting the approval nf all
English Methodists. Asks one writer 10
the Methodist Times. "Is it not possible
| for some means to be devised by which
our new church guilds may be practical
| Christian Endeavor societies, affiliated
with British Endeavor, while none the
less being fully under the control of oui
own conference? AS far as can gather
the guild will adopt Christian Endeavol
| methods to very considerable extent
Why not adopt the name also?"
Says another writer in the same paper
81 must say / think it is unfair to the
Christian Endeavor societies to adop
their rules and methods of work, ant
not acknowledge the source by usinE
| the same name. If it is necessary to ust
| lHS MOIu heeley as DISTINGUISHING
feature, why not call the new society
the Wesley Society of Christian En-
deavor' ?"
CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR IN EGYPT.
Upon arriving at Cairo, the Rev. w
j. Peck was surprised and delighted t
find Christian Endeavor alive and pros
pering in the land of the Pharoahs
They have model society there. Tn
members sing, and sing very sweetly
but not as often us we do in America
There is no instrument, and only tn
Psalms are sung. Their meetings ar
full of bright and helpful prayers, song
and words; and they close with genera
prayer and the singing of u Psalm, an
after the bcnediction every one sits dow
quietly, and remains for a moment i
silent prayer
