SABBATH PROGRAMME.

Visiting Clergymen Address Christian
EndeavoreTs at Washington.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Although the
Sabbath was not one of rest for the
large army of Christian Endeavorers
who are still in Washington, there
were no demonstrations of secular
nature, but the locol committee had
prepared programme that provided
for meetings practically from sunrise
until late hour in the evening. The
attendance at the numerous services
was very gratifying. Rarely has the
Capital City been the Mecca of SO many
distinguished divines and Christian
workers on other fields as on the present
occasion and the people have not been
slow to take advantage of their presence
in order to hear the Gospel as preached
by them. About 80 of the pulpits Of
the city were filled by the visiting
clergymen at the IL o'clock services.

ST. LOUIS, July 13-The impression
seems to be strong among local Popu-
lists that if tho Democratic ticket made
at Chicago is endorsed by the Populists'
national convention on the 22d it will
only be after hard fight.
Teller is still our man." said a well
known Populist and silver party man,
land watch what l tell you, we will
nominate him. We figure it best FOR
the silver cause to nominate Teller. He
can carry the silver Republican states
and can secure more electoral votes
than Bryan. Bryan will carry the sill
yer Democratic states, and, between
Teller and Bryan, we count on securing
enough electoral votes to prevent Nc.
Kinley's election. If this can be done
the electoral votes for silver will hold
together and will select Teller or Bryan
for president. This is the latest plan of
the Popuiists.'

KEY WEST, Fla, July 18.-Advices
from Cuba state that panic prevails in
the Spanish army in consequence of the
terrible increase of yellow fever in the
last few days. It is estimated that fully
40 per cent of the cases prove fatal. In

Der is being increased. Friday 450 sick

from dwelling on the disaster. Almost
without exception they had been pas

CHICAGO, July 13.-The Democratic
convention met for its last days work
depleted in members, tired in body and
mind and listless in spirit. There were
no eager thousands in the galleries to
encourage ambitious speakers with ap-
plause. Among the delegates there
was no desire to punctuate the days
proceedings with pyrotechnics. The
nomination of candidate for vice
president, always a perfunctory duty in
a national convention, failed as an at
traction The smallest crowd of the
week, probably less than 5000, was
ranged on the shelving sides of the
amphitheater. Sound money delegates
from the East nearly all had departed.

with delegates in peevish, discomfort

would have stood out as notable con.
