Love Feast aud Afiiliation of the
Leagues Probable Movement Against
the Seating of Mormon Roberts.

INDIANoPiIs, July 20.-The opening
session of the fourth biennial interna-
tional convention of the Epworth
Leagues OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church South and the Canadian Meth
odist church occurred this afternoon.
The mammoth tent was raised IN the
courthouse lawn. Across the street
from the tent is Tomlinson hall, and the
opening session of the league was held
in the two simultaneously.
Tomorrow morning the league meet
ings will be extended to the English
Opera House, about three blocks dis
tant, and thereafter sessions will be con-
Quoted i'll the three places at the same
time.
The estimates of the various commit
tees placed the number of delegates at
from 1000 to 10000.
There is not much business TO come
before the convention. Bisop w. y.
Ninde of Detroit styled the convention
"a love feast and affillation of the
leagues" Probably the only point OF
contention will be the selection of the
next meeting place in 1901. Los An
geles and San Francisco have both prof
fered cordial Invitations.
Five packages of literature against
the seating of Congressman Roberts
have arrived. directed to the Rev. T. G.
Tiff of Salt Lake City 1t is stated that
Mr.. Tiff will come as delegate to the
convention, at which he will attempt to
inaugurate a movement against the
Mormon congressman.

Men Failing to Get Commissions Urged
to Become Privates.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-The war de-
Dartment offered extra inducements TO
expedite the recruitment of the ten vol
unteer regiments. Nearly all the com-
missions having been issued, many OF
the disappointed applicants were ad-
yised to enter the ranks, as in that way
it might be possible for them to secure
commissions. General Corbin said that
the policy of the administration will be
70 fill all vacancies which may occur
hmong commissioned officers from the
ranks. a number of applicants for COM
missions have enlisted as privates In the
different reg iments and have been ap-
nointed non commissioned officers
Wherever possible, and consequently
are next in line of promotion to con-
missiOnad rank i'll the event of a va
cancy.
Another method OF securing recruits
was TO offer commissions to men other
wise qualified who will undertake to
furnish in each case not less than 40
men who can pass muster as soldiers
and will enlist for service III the Phlnp-
mines. There were several cases of this
kind during the past week. A former
officer of the Texas volunteer infantry
recently told General Corbin that he
would guarantee to recruit 200 good
men froia Texas, provided he was as
sured of commission. General Corbln
promised him second heutenancy II he
would recruit even 40 men for the vol

Twenty-one. strikers were arrested,

The rioting that took place in New
York was of serious nature, infinitely
fiercer than any that has taken place
yet III the borough across the river.
Scores of people were injured, and
severely injured, in the Second avenue
district. That great thoroughfare was
crowded with a jeering, bowling mob,
almost its entire length. The great
tenements gave forth their workingmen
residents, who backed up the strikers.
Several policemen were removed to
hospitals with broken bones and torn
scaips At least one striker or strike
sympathizer had his skull fractured,
and boy had his skull fractured. In
Vulnerable passengers on the cars re-
ceived bad wounds.
