NASHVILLE, July 9.-Many enthusi-

of the Christian Endeavor convention,
and all were we'll attended yesterday.
Beginning with the morning prayer
meeting, followed by numerous de-
uominational conferences in the differ
ent churches, the morning was busily
spent. In the afternoon two great
services were held at Hall Williston
and the Auditorium, Centennial park,
and at both meetings speeches of the
highest order, OF great force and well
prepared, were delivered.
Last night equally as well attended
meetings were held in the same halls,
and strong and eloquent addresses de-
livered.

OERVERA'S PRISONER.
The Hero's Story of His Exploit
With the Merrimac.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July o.
Lieutenant Hobson says that on enter.
ing the harbor with the Merrimacs he
was fired upon by the batteries, the
Vizcaya and Spanish soldiers, who
firing across from each side, killed sew
eral of their number. He further said
1.-THE Merrimac's steering gear broke
as she got to Estrella point. Only three
of the torpedoes on her side exploded
when I touched the button. A huge
marine mine caught her full amidships,
hurting sthe water high in the air and
tearing a great rent in the Merrimac' Is
side.
"Her stern ran upon the point.
Chiefly owing to the work done by the
mine, she began to sink slowly. AT
that time she was across the channe
but before she settled the tide drifted
her around.
They lay on the deck until daylight,
with the shells and bullets flying over
them and crashing into the vessel.
Some of the men wanted to drop off,
but he made them stay, and only splen-
did discipline saved their lives. Then
he said:
Gas the Spanish lannch came toward
the Merrimac we agreed to capture her
and run. Just as she came close the
Spaniards saw US, and half dozen ma

rifles at our heads. is there any Off

ProYidentiaI.

At Manila Dewey destroyed the
whole Spanish fleet without injury to
a single American ship and with but
one death and about half dozen
wounded in his whole fleet as a result
Of the terrible battle.
At Santiago Sampson even eclipsed
this astonishing and, up to last Satur-
day, that unparalleled victory. He de-
stroyed the whole of Cervera's squad
ron of splendid fighting ships without
injury to his own vessels and with but
one man killed and two wounded.
There is food for deep, serious and
devout thought in these facts. Good
seamanship, nor good management can
account for the practically unscathed
condition of our fleets in battle in
which the Spanish vessels-as good as
ours, ii not better were totally de-
stroyed, while poor Spanish seamanship
cannot account for it all, for the Span
ish are not such poor seaman as this
would seem to indicate, while their
bravery is splendid as the reports show
Indeed, the conclusion must be in
evitable to the thinking mind that
the hand of Providence was working
on the side Of the Americans in both
these instances as it has worked on our
side throughout the war.
Evidently the Divine Ruler of our
destinies has chosen the forces of the
United States to work His will.
Therefore let us render unto Caesar
the things that are Caesars and unto
God the things that are Gods and for
the glorious victories vouchsafed our
starry banner let US give thanks to

The appointment of Colonel w. S.
Simkins of Dallas to the position of
paymaster in the United States army
is a striking illustration of the fact
that the last yestige of sectionalism
is being swept away. Colonel Simkins
is said to have fired the first shot at
Fort Sumter in 1891 and which pre-
cipitated the Civil War, and now
serves under the same flag then OPP
posed. Is not this circumstance
without parallel in all history?

THE SOCIALIST PARTY
Mrs. Avery Addresses a Big Audience in
U. V. l.. Hail. Sunday

U. V. l.. Hall, Sunday.
U. V. L. Hall was crowded Sunday eve
ming with socialists and their friends, the
occasion being the first lecture in series
by Mrs. Martha Moore Avery of Boston.
The subject of the evening was Three
states of production According to the
exposition of the speaker production is
divided into three states: First, the primi-
tive state, where tools alone were en-
ployed; second, the manufacturing state,
In which machinery appeared and dis
placed its predecessor; and third. the mo-
nopolistic state of the present time. At
the close of the address the audience pro-
pounded questions bearing upon the many
phases of socialism, which were clearly
answered by Mrs. Avery.
Edgar s. Goodwin. of whom Mrs. Avery
is the guest, presided.
The next lecture in the course will be
by Harry Carless of New York, one of the
grand organizers of the party. The lee
ture will be illustrated with stereopticon
views taken in various parts of the coun-
try. and will be delivered IN Horticultural
Hall, ladies and gentlemen both being cor
daily invited.
Addison W. Barr, one of the most prom
inent socialists of the local sections, has,
at the request of his comrades, delivered
his Horticultural Hall rally speech before
Comrade Samuel II. Kisloffs photograph,
and socialists and other visitors at the
latter's store are entertained with a very
graphic representation Of Mr.. Barr's elo-
Quent effort.
The Carl Marx class in political econo-
my met in Franklin Hall, Sunday. with
Mrs. Martha Moore Avery in charge. The
meeting was devoted to a general discus
sion OF socialism The next meeting. win
