Our Responsibility In Arbitration.

New York, Aug. 5.-A special dis
patch from Washington says Japan
will insist that the United States as
sumo contingent responsibility in the
matter of arbitration Of her differences
with Hawaii on the subject of immi-
grafton and the tariff. 1t is understood
that this is one of the essential condi-
tons upon which Japan will consent to
arbitration, and that If this RESPONSE
bilfty Is not assumed by the United
States Japan will break off negotiations

demand by naval demonstration in

The Coal Strike.

Under the Wilson tariff the importation
Of bltuminous coal amounted to Tour mil
lion tons year, aud the same tariff led to
the closing OF furnaces, tho shutting down
Of mills and factories and rendering men
Idle In all sections Of the country. Hence
the demand for coal was decreased, miners
wages cut down to the foreign Standard
and the strike may thus be accounted.
Whatever loss and suffering may result
from the strike are justly chargeablc to the
Wilson tariff Thank heaven It has AZ
Inst been supplanted by the Dinglcy tariff.
and We may expect more dotnund for coal,

San Francisco, Aug. 5.-The steam
ship Australia arrived here last even
ing from Honolulu. The Australia pas
sed the Moana 125 miles from Honolulu
and consequently did not bring any
news that may have arisen after the
arrival of the Moana. When the Aus
tralia left, on July 20, nothing was
known by the general public of the
plan for raising the American flag
Everybody was in a state of uncer-
tafnty and the people were anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the Moana,
which was expected to bring decisive
information as to what was to be done.

Nassilon, O., Aug. 6.-The Hawaiian

sue no more six months residence per-

sion, following the lines Of American
legislation, means much to American
laborers. The following statement was
obtained by Watson H. Wyman, and
mailed via San Francisco. Mr. Wy
man also sends the following informa-
ton from Honolulu:

triotism Of the islands that they are
ready to make contract today. when
annexation Is not even a certainty, that
will result in the gradual diminution Of

In 1856 and 1887 the annual conventions
were held In Saratoga. n. Y, and were

first of these conventions was in

meeting that has since been adopt

LOS ANGELES SEES THEM.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 2.-The ad-
vance guard OF the army of Christian En-
deavorers arrived In Los Angeles to-day
from the East. though IL was plainly ap-
parent that the majority of the tourists
were not mem bers of the organization
which will convene in San Francisco.
The first detachment of visitors confirmed
the expectation that many Eastern people
who were m erely in search of climate and
sights would take advantage of the cheap
excursion rates to come to California.
The Christian Endeavorers in the great
parties that came to-day were easily dis
tingnis sha BILE by their badges and they were
welcomed by local mem bers of the organ
ization, who in committees awaited the
coming of each train.
The regular Santa Fe overland and two
special trains came in from the east
loaded with passengers. Delegates and
others were conducted to local headquar-
ters in the Y. NJ. Z. A. building anG there
they were made to feel at home. Carriage
drives and other amusements were pro-
vided for the visitors and all see med to
have general good time. Tomorrow
the great crowd is expected to arrive.
Fully nine trainloads are booked TO come
in. The local committees expect to be
equal TO the rush of guests. The special
excursion train for San Francisco will
leave on Monday

ADVANCE GUARD.
Some Endeavorers Arrive at
Oakland.

The advance guard of the army OF in
coming tourists arrived at the Oakland
mole shortly after II o. clock last night.
The regular overland train of the South
ern Pacific, d ue at S:45 O'Clock last even
ing, was run in three sections and was four
hours late. This one train, or properly
speaking three trains in one, brous hit
nearly 1000 tourists.
Yesterday the regular transfer company
was advised that the baggage would con-
immense quantities of baggage that must
be cared for during the coming week, the
company has largely increased its force of
agents and teams. Checking agents have
been sent East as far as Salt Lake.
The chief. problem confronting the
Southern Pacific is how to feed the tour
lists between Ogden and the ocean. Com
missary cars have been sent forward with
large quan titles of provisions and many
dining-cars have been added to the regu-
lar equipment.
The fact is now fully realized that vast
number OF passengers are coming on the
regular trains. The majority OF the Chris
tian Endeavor people, proper, travel in
special trains, with ''diners" attached.
The low rate. however, has brought 10 the
rail- many tourists who do not belong to
organized delegations, and they must be
provided for.
The railway managers recogniz, that
the capacity of the Southern Pacific sys-
.em is about TO be tested as il was never
tested before. Method, discipline, eau
ton and activity must be used at Oakland
mole to prevent confusion or worse when

more societies. banded together in this
way for mutual helpfulness. They have
been found exceedingly useful and have
largely stimulated the growth and in
creased the value of individual societies.
The young people who form these unions
meet once in two or three months for
discussion of methods of work, or the
fundamental principles of the society, or
for meetings OF prayer and conservation.
These meetings have been found OF spe-
cial value in promoting the spirit OF
brotherhood and Christian fellowship
Although the Society OF Christian En-
deavor to-day stands as one OF the great
est religious movements in history, its
beginning was about as inconspicuous as
could be. Only a little band OF young
people. fired with what was then thought
to be momentary enthusiasm, resolved
to make themselves more useful to God. :"

resolution, nor did the newspapers of the
country print single line about it. Even

Islands, Mrs. Leonard. From the society
of the foreign church of Hilo, Hawaii,
Mrs. Herbert Austin has already arrived.
1t is expected that the delegation from
Humboldt County and one from Portland,
Or, will arrive on Saturday by steamer.
Reports from the East indicate that the
number of special trains havr increased;
the mum Der reported yesterday was fifty
two, and in addition it is stated that the
regular trains are being crowded with
travellers TO California. L railroad COM
panies, in common with the general pub
lie, are exceedingly surprised at the Won
derful increase in the amount of travel 10
California. The Southern Pacific Com
rany, which Will handle this traffic from
ogden west, is taking the greatest care to
prevent accidents. Trains will be run one
hour apart, and, as far as possible, no train
VIII be permitted to leave any station un-
til the train ahead OF il has left the next
station on the road in this way it is be-
lieved that even the possibility OF acci-
dents will be avoided.
Arrangements have been made by which

the Christian Endeavor Convention will

they had promised to do by the next
morning. On the contrary, they were
more enthusiastic than ever by the next
dav.
When the time came for the weekly
prayer meeting every mem ber was pres
ent and several more who were anxious
to become mem bers. They were taken in,
Of course, and from that time to the pres
ent have been constant workers in the
cause.
The most striking feature about the
organiza don of the Society OF Chris
tan Endeavor is the earnestness that
marked its progress. The mem bers all
meant what they said, and when they
promised to do certain thing they
did not make the mental reservation,
'if convenient The idea was that
their religious duties were to be given
preference over all other duties except
prevented by sickness or family distress.
When the young people agreed to go to
the weekly prayer meeting they did not
mean that they would go provided there
was nothing better (?) to do. such as al
tending place of amusement.
They meant that they would go unless
it was absolutely impossible to do So.
And the increase in the attendance at
subsequent prayer-meetings and church
services soon showed that they meant
just what they said.
1t is hardly likely that more than a
dozen of the older members of the church
really believed that the young people would
do all that they promised. Even the pas
tor, DR.. Clark, has since stated that he
SC rcely believed i: would be success. 1t
seemed like asking too much OF youth to
give up many of the so-called pleasures of
The San Francisco call., 1897-07-03

life for church duties.
That the young people have done what
was not expected of them has been re-
buke to all doubters and dem onstration
of the fact that the greatest pleasure to be
obtained in this world is that which comes
from religion. The conte em plation of the
beauties of divine thought is the present
and highest IDEAL of the human mind.
In less than year after the formation
of the original Society of Christian En-
deavor several branches bad been formed.
The idea seemed to be just what was
needed to increase the efficacy of church
work and all were eager to adopt it.
Wherever tried it has ways proved the
greatest success and has been incalculable
aid TO hundreds of pastors.
Seventeen months after the form alton
of the original society and in the summer
of 1882 the first convention of Christian

il one brother would say to another:
Come with me and | will show you the
word of God and the good it has done me
and my friends. Read and believe, and
induce others to do the same"
Before the eventful evening at DR..
Clark's was over the young people had all
decided to do several things. They would
be better Christians themselves and at
tend all the church services. They
would not miss single one
of the weekly prayer meetings and
would make constant efforts to induce
theiryoun friends to attend. There was
to be no coaxing under promises of straw
berry festivals nor Sunday school picnics.
Those asked were asked in straightfor-
ward way to do their duty for the great
Masters sake.
1t was late when the young people got
to their homes from that social evening

oped, in less than four years. He could
scarcely realize that he was not dreaming.
The first annual convention held out
side the State of Maine was in 1884. This
time about twenty societies met in the
Kirk-street church in Lowell. Mass, of
which Rev. c. A. Dickinson was the pas
tor. The reverend gentleman had from
the beginning been a stanch friend of the
movement, and was largely responsible
for it's spread in Massach usetts. This con-
vention differed little from preceding
ones, except in its being larger. But it
was doing good work. 1t was Tightening
the bonds of good-fellowship and showing
the many members what great interest
was taken in the work by others. 1t was
spreading the news of what was being
done and increasing the desire OF men,
bers to do all they could for the society, so
as to help it to still higher position.
