Why Uncle Sam Refused 1t on the Hazle-
ton, Pa Riot Case.
Washington, July 1.-THE officials
here confirm the advices from Vienna
that a plan of arbitration proposed as
q means of settling claims growing out
of the Hazleton, Pa, riots had been
rejected by the United States. This
probably disposes of the matter. At
the outset the state department called
the matter to the attention of the
governor OF Pennsylvania, who in turn
awaited the action of the jury at
Hazleton which tried the sheriff on the
charge of murder. The jury acquitted
the sheriff, whereupon the Pennsyl-
vania authorities held that they could
not recognize a responsibility which a
jury had held did not exist.
The state department took a similar
view, whereupon Arstrfa-Hungary pro-
posed arbitration of the claims. 1t
is this last proposal which is rejected,
which seems to close the matter, as the
claims are hardly considered of suf-
ficient Importance TO justify Austria
Hungary to go beyond the diplomatic
representations she has already made.
Vienna, July 1.-THE American re-
fusal to arbitrate the Hazelton, Pa,
riot case has caused surprise and dis
appointment here, especially in view
Of the proceedings of the peace confer
nece at The Hague.

The following statements as to at
tendance, ETC., was given out by Secre-
tary Baer: without doubt the attend
ance at this convention has very much
exceeded that of any other Christian
Endeavor convention ever held in the
matter of those present at the various
meetings. This estimate takes into ac-
count the great convention at Boston
in 1895. That is to say, that out of the
$4,000 Endeavorers registered, which is
the estimate of the reception commit
tee and includes Detroit members,
there have been more who attended
meetings than at any previous times.
The estimates ofattendancea at meetings
gives a total of 29S,5 500. There were
$4,000 Endeavorers in attendance, in
Guiding Detroit delegates. Thirty
thousand five hundred persons stimuli
taneously attended strictly Christian
EndeaYor meetings. These figures do
not include the sixty-six noon evangel-
istic meetings, which had total at
tendance of $4,000, and 100 professed
conversions"
The chairman of each state end PROV
incial delegation, and those from
abroad, were called to the platform and
testified each for his people and their
aspirations as Endeavorers. Then the
respective delegations sang together,
waved flags and gave other evidences
of enthusiasm. Secretary Baer stated
that although the attendance at Detroit
was $4,000. as against Sc, 400 at Bos-
ton, the meetings in Detroit were at
tended by larger numbers than were
those at Boston
