eme Of applause was maintained oy the
clapping of hands.
1t was some time before the oeglhhins
CT the regular song service that Percy .
Foster, the popular leader from Nashlle
ton, took his place at the front OF the
platform, and by sweep or two OF ms
magic baton brought unity and harmony
out of the spasmodic songs oil the aele-
gates. From this time until the closing OF
the session the delegates sang whenever
opportunity presented, and with such
mighty volume Of song as has never BE-
fore been heard in this building.
Already the Endeavorers have made
themselves name as singing Christians,
In the two tents this same program was
practically repeated. The crowds were
present. the same enthusiasm was mani
fest, and the same tendency TO sing the
popular Christian Endeayor songs.
Crowds Of curious on-lookers throngcd
the entrances Of all three auditoriums-
Mechanics hall, Tent Williston and Tent
Endeavor-and gazed wonderlngly on the
delegates as they entered. If the conven-
ton grows as il has begun, and maintains
the same high spirit of enthusiasm, one
scarcely darcs prophesy what will be It's
end on next Monday.
Wont Move to Chicago.
The most important proceeding IN con-
ncction with the convention was she
meeting of the trustees of the organization.
The chief business to be considered was
the offer of H. II. Kohlsaat Of the Chicago
Times Herald, who had agreed to pay
5000 year for three years toward the
maintenance OF the society's headquar-
tiers on condition they be removed from
Boston to Chicago. After a committee
had passsd adversely upon the subject,
and reported, the report Of the committee
was unanimously accepted, and the head
quarters will not be removed from Boston
for the present.

TERRIBLE

One Hundred and Forty-Eight Human
Lives Sacrificed In a Collision at Seattle
Maria p. Run Down and Sunk by the
Steamer Ortigia-Scenes on the Sinking
Vessel Which Defy Description.
LA SPEzzIA. July ga terrible ac-
cident, resulting in the loss of las
lives, occurred near the mouth of the
Gulf of Spezzia yesterday. At 1:S0
o'clock yesterday morning the steam
ers Ortigia and Maria P..ran into each
other, and the latter vessel was Sc
badly damaged that she sank in a very
short time. The Maria P. had on
board, in addition to her crew, us
passengers, bound from Naples for the
River Plate, by far the larger part of
whom were emigrants.
The night was pitch dark when the
collision occurred and the scene on
board the sinking steamer almost de-
fes description. Most Of the passen-
gers were asleep in the hunks at the
time and were awakened by the crash
ing of the steamers plates, deck beams
and deck planks. They were panic
stricken, and rushed pell nell on deck
where they ran hither and thither
calling upon the saints to save them.
From the reports of the disaster re-
ceived here, it is impossible to determine
whether any attempt was made by the
Maria P. to clear away and launch her
small boats to rescue the passengers;
bat, judging from the accounts given
by the excited survivors, it is surmised
that the steamer went down toe
| quickly to allow of this being done,
though one boat got away.
The blackness of the night added to
the terror of those on board, and it is
understood that some of the passen-
gers, crazed with fear. jumped over
board.
The force of the collision was terrific
The 0rtigia struck the Maria P
squarely on the starboard side, and
her stem penetrated the Inflated
steamer for a distance of eighteen feet
When she backed out a great volume
of water poured through the orifce
and the vessel began almost immedi-
atelv to settle.
No mention is made of the Ortigia
lowering boats to attempt to resue the
imperiled people on the Maria P.
Whether the former vessel was dam
aged or not is not known. The sur
vivors are in such a mental condition
that it is impossible as yet to get any
connected story, but from the state
ments of some of the crew it appears
that the disaster was the fault of the
Ortigia.
The crew of the Maria P. numbered
seventeen. OF this number fourteen
were saved in the BOAT that got clear
of the ship. This boat also saved the
thirty passengers who escaped drown
ing.
The Ortigia on her previous voyage
collided in this same spot with a
French steamer, and this fact adds
strength to the belief that she was re-
sponsible for yesterday mornings dis
aSter.

This city was greatly excited this
afternoon by hearing reports of cam
non, and it was soon learned the rev.

lector of customs, upon information OF

nation to the effect that she was
bound on 4 flibustering expedition.
Lieut.. Hay, of the McLane. says
that signals were set FOR the ChiIds to
heave to, but no attention was ppid to
them, and seeing no chance of over
taking her, two solid shots and one
shell were fred before she came about.
She was boarded by a crew from the

Capt. Swain of the Childs is very in
dignant at being fred upon, and says
that he knows no reason why such
action should be taken. He says that
he was properly entered from his trip
at Jamaica and while some slight ir-
regularities did exist in his crew list,
It was owing to the fault of his
brokers at Philadelphia and had been
settled ut the customhouse here. He
sailed from Jamaica on June Ii, and
