VICTORY FOR ENDEAv0RERs.
Eloquence Of DR.. Stewart Of Harrisburg
Carried the Day.

Christian Endeavor won a victory In the
Presbyterian general assembly. Its friends
eliminated most OF the report OF the commit
go and discharged that body. The sum
total OF the assembly's action comprised the
adoption OF "a statement OF relations be.
tween individual societies and churches
which was directed to be read In the vari-
Gus societies, andof a provision for the col
lection Of Christian Endeavor statistics.
Provisions were also made for COMMITTEES
OF five to report ON the brotherhood OF An
drew and Philip and on Boys brigades.
This victory is largely due to the eloquence
OF two Pennsy ylvanians. led by DR.. George b.
Stewart, OF Harrisburg, who made the prin-
cipal speech. He contended that the So
cietIes desired ecclesiastical recognition In
the sense OF right to exist In the church
and to manage their own affairs, subject
only to the church session.
Elder Sheppard, Of Philadelphia, moved
to strike out section, and 1t was carried
with applause. The clause provided for
a plan to unite the Presbyterian societies.
A motion was made to expunge sections
which provided that the stated clerk send
out statistical blanks, and on that DR.. Breed,

Broad Gaugers and Woman's suffragists
Form a New Party.

About 800 people attended the Broad
gathering after the close OF the convention In
the Art gallery. over which A. L. Moore, OF
Michigan. presided. The meeting was not OF
one mind, many calling for the formation o.
a new party to be known as the Union Re-
form party, but fully rs many urging that
nothing be done, and that they attend tho
convention In the evening and fight to the
last, after which they would be better able
to take the wisest steps. The women de-
clared they had been insulted, and the West
ern delegates that all had been kicked out OF
the convention. Dickie and Wardwell were
maligned as assassins OF the party.
From the close OF the afternoon session un-
Ill the opening Of the evening session, the
floor and rooms OF the hall were crowded
with delegates In the angriest moods, loudly
CRYING against the action OF the Narrows and
attestlng their determination to bolt. A
number OF the hotter heads Of the delegates
tore the Prohibition badge from their coats
and trampled on them. The argument 20
let the dominant faction ha We things all its
own way seemed to have been entirely for
gotten, some OF the leaders Of the boilers be-
ing the ones who most loudly asserted before
the convention their intention to stand oy
the party. The women we're after both tac,
tions, and claimed the Broads had stabbed
| them In the back.
The Broad Gaugers who bolted proc eeded
| to Braun's Hall, go Fourth avenue, to hold
and organize a convention Of their own. The

SILVER PARTY'S APPEAL.
Chairman Mott Urges Friends Of the White
Metal to Renewed Effort.

The national silver party, through Its
chairman, J. J. Mott, issued from Its head
quarters In Washington an address to the
friends of silver. This address recites that
since the founding of the national silver
party, on January 22, the work OF organi.
zation has been steadily but quietly pursued
and the country aroused to a pitch OF excite
ment unknown since the civil war. II de-
clares that the secret Of success In the pend
ing conflict consists of lining up for the
battle, and that the convention OF the party
to be held In st. Louis on July % will un-
doubtedly be one of the most important con-
ventions and notable gatherings ever assem-
bled In this country.
Upon the wisdom OF Its acts and that OF
the Peoples party convention, to be held at
the same place and time, depends, the ad-
dress declares. "the vital question as to
whether we can have just settlement OF the
money issue Of our generation"
The friends OF the party are urged to push
the work Of organization with all possible
vigor, the purpose being to unite for action
all believers In the restoration of free silver
and prosperity" The address concludes as
follows:
The Republican party ia committed to the
gold standard through the platform OF 80
per cent OF the state conventions and any
straddle that may be made In its national
platform will deceive no one. The Demo-
cratic party must not expect the country to
accept any candidate 1t may name acquiesced
In by the gold wing Of that party.
"The question OF vital Importance Is Tor
silver men to name candidate for president
whose nomination will be readily acquiesced
In by all believers In monetary reform.
"Friends OF silver look to your interests,
and organize now, while the fruit Ia ripe foi
plucking. Do not wait on the problematica
action of any party"

INDIAN MOUNDS OPENED.
Several Skeletons Found in One. People
With Small Brain.

Warren X. Moorehead and W. G. O'KaDe,
curators of the Ohio Archaeological Society,
have spent several days in the vicinity OF
Coshocton, searching for relies OF prehis-
torical race, whose mounds dot the Muskin-
gum Valley and Its tributaries. One large
mound on the farm Of John Ponteus was
opened and developed quantity OF charcoal
and bone. In smaller mound five skele-
tons were found.
The skeletons unearthed show that these
people were shorter in stature and OF a
heavier and more muscular build than the
average people Of to-day. The skull Is even
thicker than that OF the negro, low facial
angles, prominent jaws, magnificent teeth,
but very small brain capacity.
A small mound In the vicinity OF Wal
honding was opened and here was found
the skeleton OF man. Just above him In
the soil were found about 10 flint arrow
heads artistically wrought.
A mound ON the johnson farm about nine
feet high was also opened and here were

4 FESTAI BOARD OF DEATH
HORROR IN MOSCOW.
Over 1000 Persons Killed at the Cars
Popular Fete.

In mad rush to get FREQ food, beer, gifts
and amusements, offered to the populace by
the Gar In honor Of his coronation, thous-
ands of Russians OF the lower classes were
trampled under foot by many more thous-
ands of their fellows, and hundreds were
killed. The loss OF life exceeds 900 and the
injured number several thousand. The Gar
ordered that 1000 roubles be paid each
family that has lost member through the
catastrophe. In addition, the state will
pay the the expenses OF burying the dead,
while the physicians at the hospitals and else
where have been instructed to spare nothing
to alleviate the sufferings Of the injured.
Although the Official report places the
number OF dead at 1,136, It Is probable that
the exact number OF victims will never be
known. The vice-mnyor reckons that 1886
persons were killed and 2s6 fatally injured.
The official accounts do not include many
dead and injured who were removed by
friends.
At the vegankofrsky cemetery alone the
number OF dead exceeded the official figures,
1882 bodies being there. Thirty bodies were
found In an old disused well In the middle OF
the Hoydynsky plain. The well had been
covered with planks, which collapsed when
the crowd passed over them. Among the
bedies In the well were two living persons
who had been made insane by the horror Of
their position. Their rawlings when rescued
we're terrible to hear.
Saturday was appointed the great national
fete day and 500, 900 people had gathered on
the Khodijnskoje plain to attend the great
free feast given them by the newly-crowned
czar. A stampede started and 1900 people,
more or less, were trampled to death, while
fully as great number were mangled and
maimed. Many have since died and hun
dreds Of others cannot recover.

They Include Methods Not Used at 0ths
Places.

II seems to be assured that the Christian
Endeavor convention, which is to be held In
Washington City within two months, will be,
so far as human preparations can make 1t,
the greatest gathering OF the kind ever held.
The convention will be notable for the
number of new features In the programme.
and the number, extent and character OF
these enlargements are remarkable. They
will have large part In influencing the
character OF the convention and In deepen
ing its spiritual effect. More than has beeu
the case at all prior annual Christian En-,
desvor gatherings, everything possible will
be done this year to secure apiritual profit
from the convention and to extend practical
evangelistic effort. These twin thoughts
spirituality and evangelism, will be manifest
cd from the very beginning OF the meetings
For the preliminary and preparatory services
Wednesday evening, July 3, the general sub
ject is 1.-THE Deepening OF Spiritual Life,
