CAPTURE THE CAPITAL.
Christian Endeavor Hosts Take Possession
of Washington.


Washingt surrendered to an army
of young people who swept down upon
the nations capital under the banner
of the Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor. The opening
days session was preceded by sunrise
prayer meetings. 1t was intended to
have the sessions held in three hinge
tents designed TO accommodate 10000
people each. and designated as tents
Williston, Washington and Endeavor,
but a storm the night before demol-
ished tent Williston and consequently
the other two were crowded. Prcsi-
dent Francis L. Clark presided at tent
Wash'1 gton. After devotionals w. ii.
Smith, OF Washington. made an adj
dress of welcome, to which Rev. II. j.
Service, of Detroit, responded. Cen
eral Secretary Willis Baer read his re-
port and then President Clark deliv-
ercd an address. In tent Eudeavor
the services were conducted by Rev.
Howard Il. Brace, of Boston, and the
addresses and reports were duplicated
here.
The weather continued disagrecable,
but the zeal and cheerfulneSs of the
visitors were not dispelled by gloomy
weather and the second days sessions
were well attended. The junior work
was the principal topic of the day.
Better weather greeted the busy En-
deavorers the following day and the
exercises were carried through with
great earnestncss and enthusiasm. A
popular feature was the grand chorus
directed by u. s. Foster, of Washing
ton. and the full L. 5. Marine band
under the leadership of Prof. Fanculli.
Evangelistic services for the general
public were held in the tents in the
evening. The board of trustees de-
cided to hold the '0S convention in
Nashville. Tenn. Sermons in every
church in the city, UNCONVENTIONAL and
missionary rallies were the features of
the fourth day.
The last day was made one of con-
secration. In tent Washington the
Armenian relief movement occupied
the morning. Rev. ID. Fay Mills, of
Fort Edward. n. y. took occasion to
score u. 5. Minister Terrell, President
Cleveland and the state department for
advising the withdrawal of the mis-
sionaries from points of danger in Ar
menia during the massacres, and for the
administration failure to interfere in
Turkey while, he alleged, they were
fomcnting trouble with Great Britain
over Venezuela.

Yellow Fever Worse Than War.

Advices from Havana say that panic
prevails in the Spanish army in conse-
quence of the terrible increase of yell
low fever. 1t is estimated that fully
40 per cent of the eases prove fatal.
In Santiago de Cuba there are over
1850 soldiers in the hospitals. Maj
Gen. Linares is stricken and his life is
despaired of. The physicians and
nurses are utterly incapable of coping
with the disease. The epidemic is also
very serious all along the trocha. In
some eases whole companies have been
stricken. Gen. Arelas and nearly
every member of his staff are i'll. In
Baracoa, Holgran and other places in
eastern Cuba the fever is raging with
great virulence and it is spreading to
the central points. From Matanzas
comes most distressing tales. In that
city it is said that the mortality is
about go per cent and that it is becom-
ing difficult to bury the dead. The
hospitals of Havana contain nearly
5000 patients and every day the num-
Der is being increased.

One of Lincoln's Answers.

Speaking in a recent speech of cer- tain Washington experiences in Lin coln's time, MT. Depew said: "While I was there MT. John Ganson, of Buffalo, was member of congress. His face and his head were hairless and polished like a billiard ball, He was a demo- crat, but supported the president The conditions of the army were very blue in the east and in the west. Ganson came in one day and said: MT. Presi- dent, I an rislling my reelection in SUD- porting your war measures. The cam paign seems very unsatisfactory. Of course will not give out anything you tell me. What is the situation at the front?' MT. Lincoln, in his searching and sad way, looked at him for mo- ment as if he were about to reveal the secret of the whole army, and then tumbled Ganson out of the reception room by saying: 'Ganson, how clean you shave.'"
