they would have to give up the opportu-
nifty Of seeing the English boat. More
over. there were several tugs sent out by
the newspapers, and most of these got
close enough to the visitor to give her o
becoming welcome. Tho feet Of vessols
was the largest that ever sailed to meet
an incoming yacht.
Vigllant was towed down through the
Narrows to Sandy Hook and dropped an
ehor In the Horseshoe. Defender turned
westward on leaving the dock and went

chelle 1t was long waiting for the boats
shat went to meet Valkyrie, and for the
crowds on shore, for the whole afternoon
wore away without a sign Of her. The
dock at Quarantine was crowded with
people when, at $3.50, the word was given
that the English craft was heading toward
she upper bay.
At 9:45 Valkyrie, In tow. slowly passed
Quarantine and was boarded by the health
officer. Tho cup challenger looked trim
and neat. Her sails were snugly slowed
and on her decks were apparently all the
members of her crow. Hearty cheers of
welcome were exchanged with the Eng
hish sailors, and then, tho usual formali-
hies having been complied with, Valkyrie
continued her journey up the bny.
OF Quarantine Valkyrle was boarded
by representative of the Associated
Press, who obtained the following story
OF the voyage from Captain W. w. Gran
field: 1--WE left Gourock on July "a with a
full crew of forty two men. After leaving
Tory Island on the 2Sth, Sunday, we ran
into fresh north northwest gale, accom-
panied by high seas, which blow hard for
twenty-four hours. and then moderated.
ION Wednesday morning, July 81, 1t
commenced to blow again from north
west to southwest, and it blew hard for
fyo days, when the weather moderated to
alight southwest wind, which lasted up
to Cape Race There we caught north
east wind, which carried us to Sable Isl.
and, when the wind became light and loft
us becalmed at times and lasting up to
our arrival here.
'We sighted Shlnnecook light at noon
today, and at $3.50 this evening, when
twenty miles west of Fire Island, we were
taken inflow by Tho World tug G. p
Raymond. We made 3,016 miles in all,
and one day only made about seventy
miles. We never carried away q rope OF
yarn through the voyage"
Valkyrie looks monster. When you
step on board of her you can almost fancy
yourself on an ocean steamer. Her beam
ts simply immense and she shows tre-
mendous length. Her bowsprit for her
ketch rig Is very short, quite little spar,
and her masts are splendid sticks. In a
word, she may be labelled dangerous.
Valkyrie anchored off Liberty Island
for the night and was taken to the Erie
basin this morning
Valkyrie's time of passage was twenty,

Tho chinese vioeroy Responsible.

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 19-The Ledger
received by mail from Shanghai the first
copy to reach this country Of the report OF
Rev. DR.. ]. Endicott, d. D., who was del
egated by the American and Canadian
missionaries to investigate and report
upon the Chengtu riots, In Szechuan
province. DR. Endicott's conclusions arc
briefly as follows: 1.-THE officials had am
plo power in their hands to quoll the riot
at its very beginning, for there was an
abundance OF soldiers, with arms and
ammunition, at Chengtu. Had the Of
hcials been friendly some OF these forces
would have been quickly utilized to quell
the disturbances. The vceroy ia directly
responsible for the riots. He is known to
be anti-foreign."

AT west Church.

The opening hymn at West Presbyter.
Ian Church OH Sunday forenoon WAS sung
with a remarkably attentive and interest.
ed congregation OF one'third the usual
number.
In point of popular interest the redeem.
ing feature of the public worship was the
thoroughly studied, orthodox faithful l. and
able sermon by hev. Francis l.. Smiley
OF Denver. Col.
His text was 1--WE are his witnesses. So
also is the Holy Ghost whom God hath
given to them that obey Him."
All the works OF nature attest that God
has never been without His witnesses. His
highest Witnesses are human beings be.
ginning with Adam AMI Eve, who were
perfect witnesses until they sinDed. and
thus all human beings became imperfect,
though IL Ia well for man that God has
never been without human witnesses.
The preacher here gave the line OF prln.
oipal scriptural witnesses. Tho greatest
oil all these was Jesus. the Son of God,
VINO iilled the main body of the sermon.
Christ was perfect witness and brought
humanity to know God as Father. Still
the sin that ended his earthly life courses
IN conflict with his followers today SO
that some belle their profession to bring
Jesus and tho worlds people together and
stand between jesus and the people. with
the result OF keeping the people from
coming to Jesus because they are, such
imperfect Witnesses The world looks
for the character OF Jesus in their lives.
Under these circumstances IL is the Holy
Ghost In the lives of honest and otedi ent
Witnesses. and In the holy scriptures
practically preached through thor lives,
that is the true witness. The world gets
its Impressions of our Heavenly Father
and blessed Saviour through the lives of
faithful. Holy Ghost scrlptural Christians.
Lord: Teach US how to grow without try
Ing to grow Teach US how to live with
out trying 10 live.
The preachers deeire was for the spirIt-
ual life OF God to be naturally lived In the
lives of Christians.
He did not make much noise but he ap-
peared to be brainy, remarkably studlous
and consecrated.
