ENDEAvOR CONVENTION.
Plans for the Great Gathering at Wash.
ington Next Month.

Washington, June 2S.-Muoh enthus-
iasm is manifested here over the arrange
ments for the International Christian En-
deavor convention, now fast nearing
completion. The city will soon put on
gala attire and the officials in charge of
the public parks and gardens have laid
out Christian Endeayor monograms and
combinations of the letters Y. P. S. G.
E., with gaily colored leaves, in the
parks of the city. The work of the floral
decorations will be very artistic. The
churches are actively planning for elabo-
rate decorations. The decorations of the
stores will exceed those of the previous
gatherings. Three mammoth tents are
about to be erected on the White lot.
Nine simultaneous meetings, with an
audience of forty Thousand, will be con-
Quoted throughout the sessions of the
convention. The programme has been
nearly completed, and includes some of
the best speakers in this country, and
several widely known clergymen and
mission workers from across the seas.
The list includes Postm aster Gen eral
Wilson, Hon. John Wanamaker and Hon.
Neal Dow. Great attention has been
given to the work of organizing the
choir, which will lead the singing at the
meetings. Over 4500 members of the local
societies have been rehearsing the past
tw months.

EARTHQUAKE TOUCHED HAWAII.
The Island Republic Gets Little of jap
ans Tidal Wave.

San Francisco, June 28--The tidal
wave which recently visited the northern
provinces of Japan with disastrous re-
suits, was felt In the Hawaiian islands.
A Honolulu correspondent, writing un-
der date of June 20, says: A succession
of tidal waves struck the western side
of the island of hawaii on the 18th,
doing great damage, but causing no loss
of life. Tho first wave struck Kawaihal
at g. Is, demolishing the wharf Of Kailua
80 miles south and at 49, 80 a. m., de-
stroying the lumber yards and flooding
the lower floor of Miss Pariqua's hotel
After damaging various wharves and
landings on the Kona coast, the tide
sorrounded the south point, striking Kau
landings at 9. 40 a. NJ, doing little dam
age. Hilo was reached at 10 a. m., the
water rising only eight feet, without
serious damage being done. In 1aysona,
Kona coast, the sea came up to 30 and 80
feet above the mean time. Tho tides
continued to come in all day at half hour
intervals after ebb and flow. Altogether
the Indication are these waves came
from the north west, Honolulu harbor ex-
periencing but slight effect At the mar
row head of the harbor, there was an
alarming succession of deep Gibbs and
flows every half hour. AT the harbors
on the east side Of Kauai, the sea ebbed
and flowed SO as to seriously move ves-
sells and boats. No satisfactory theory
is mooted as to the local Of the terrestrial
convulsion causing these waves.

YALE BOYS SHOW UP WELL.
An Animated Scene on the River Yes
terday.

Henley, June 27.-After the morning
practice all the crews rowed over the
course against time. Bob Cook stated
later that the Yale men are improving
very fast, and expressed himself as
as we'll pleased with the days work.
The Yale, Leander and New College
boats were rowed over the first half of
the course in 3.28. Yale rowing Ss
strokes. Leander 81 and New College 36.
The New College and Leander crews
finished the course, both rowing slowly
in 7.04. The Yale men put On their bont
new fin of aluminium, replacing the
wooden one Before starting the rud-
der pin caught on the fin and was bent
in. During the row over half the course
the rudder had to be held up on the port
side, thus impeding the progress of, the
boat greatly. The Trinity Hall first and
second crews raced over the course, the
second crew leading by one length.
They started even again at Fawley's
court boat house and at the finish of the
other half of the course the first crew
was the winner by length. Yale's new
boat, which will be used in the race for
the grand challenge cup, has been trans
fe1red from the boat house to a tent
where it will be rigged. Monday, Bob
Cook says he raised the stroke of the
crew today and will keep up practice
at between 80 and AZ strokes per minute
until the race takes place.

A1tgeld's opinion of Whitney Interview.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 2s.-In reply to
question as to what he thought of W..
G. Whitney's interview yesterday, Gov.
Altgeld today said: ''The American
people are not ready to become the vassals
of the English money lenders, and their
American agents. The policy this govern
ment has pursued for more than twenty
years, at the instance Of those eastern
speoulators. oompels the prod ucers and
consumers of this country, who bear all
its burdens, to give those English money
lenders 50 worth of labor, 50 worth of
property, and 50 worth of their life
blood, for each dollar they ever got from
those Englishmen. This is destroying the
country, and the Democratic party IN
tends to condemn this policy In the most
emphatic terms, and no matter how
much Doodle those eastern spectators
may be willing to spend, they are going
to have very difficult time in trying to
prevent the party from expressing its
honest conviction on this subieot''

New London. Conn, June 28.-A
shocking double tragedy occurred here
today, and the bodies Of James Romkey
and his wife Mary, are at the undertake
er's rooms. No Que here has any positive
knowledge as to where their relatives
reside. Romkey killed his wife and him.
self by shooting with a revolver. The
couple for sometime have been employed
in the Bank. street laundry. He was fore
man and she was helper. They have
not lived very happily for many months.
Recently Romkey got employment at
South Weymouth, but returned Thurs
day. and has since been boarding at the
Washington house.
He retired at H. 80 this morning, arose
about 5, dressed, and proceeded to West
Colt street, where his wife lived IN
lower tenement Of two-story house. He
evidently planned to kill her. Mrs.
Ronkey slept in the front room, and the
window near the bed had been raised and
was held up by wire screen. Romkey
removed the screen, jumped through the
window, and opened fire on his wife who
was probably asleep.
He fired four shots, all taking effect.
After the first shot, she fled from the
room. up stairs, at the top of which the
fourth bullet was sent through her
brains After killing his wife, Romkey
| went to his boarding place. reloaded his
revolver and went out of the house and
fired bullet into his forehead and an
| other into his heart. Romkey's wife re-
fused to live with him, saying he abused
her. 1t is said that he met her on the
street last night and tried to persude her
to live with him, but she would not
listen to his proposition. 1t is known
that she wanted divorce.
Romkey alleged that sh0 was living
with Morris Mcdonald, and it is declared
that Romkey met Mcdonald when 60
ing to his wife's house this morning and
he told an acquaintance he would have
shot then, but he feared arrest which
would have prevented his shooting his
wife. Romksy was about 40 years Old
and his wife abou 33. He was Can
adian. Mrs Romkey's parents are sup
posed to reside in Charlestown, Mass.

Mrs. Romkey WIS among the dead Wom-

He wants rest and immunity from
visitors, when he takes his vacation, and
for that reason, will either spend fort
night with his cousin, Col Osborn at
Roxbury, Mass, or make a tour Of the
lakes on one of Mr.. Hanna's boats.
Some of his friends are urging the lat

Major Mckinley has received upwards
of a hundred Invitations from friends,
| asking him to spend his vacation with
them, and many handsome country places
at the seaside and in the mountains have
been put at his disposal. He has declined
all, and it is quite likely If the weather
should remain cool here, that he will not
leave Ohio this sum mer.
When the campaign is we'll under way,
and the hosts of minor candidates are in
the field, each hoping or expecting to
carry his district or state, the demands
upon Major Mckinley for speech making
will be urgent and frequent. Several
Republicans of influence and high stand
ing, have talked with Major Mckinley
upon this point, and some Of them have
endeavored to secure from him promise
to make speeches in their states.
Major Mckinley has not committed
himself nor has he said that he would
not yield to their demands upon his
strength and time. He prefers to remain
in Canton during the campaign. At
