Convention Which Starts on
Wednesday.

DETROIT, July 3.-The Sabbath was
strictly observed on the Christian En-
deavor grounds, the site of the inrerna-
tional '99 convention. Some of the
concessionaires, who had been slow in
getting their tents and equipments in
place, asked permission to work Sun
day, but consent was promptly refused
by John Strong, chairman of the gen.
eral '99 committee, who stated that
nothing inconsistent with Christian
principles would be allowed on the
grounds. Works of necessity, such as
preparing and serving meals, will of
course, be permitted next Sunday, as on
other days,
All the local committees will, this
week, transfer their quarters from the
thirteenth floor of the Majestic building

flags of the newly risen white city,

The Americans were guided in their

TROUBLE AT CLEV LAND.
day aud May he Another
Strike.

CLEVELAND, July 3.-There were ru.
mors of more trouble among the en-.
ployes of the Big Consolidated Street
Railway company. There may not be
another strike, but meeting of EN-.
ployes was called for today at which
the question CT whether the company
has lived up Co its agreements with the
strikers will be discussed
The men claim that some parts of the
agreement have been violated, and es-
pecially with respect to the placing of
non union men on runs, though the at
torney of the strikers during the nego-
tiations leading TO the settlement says
the company is living up to the agree
ment. The union leaders say that the
company must be forced to treat the
men fairly.
President Everett of the Big Consoli.
dated said that he held the union men
responsible for the trouble that has oc.
Cured since the settlement of the
strike. He said he had evidence that
the assaults on non-union men had been
melted by the strikers who had returned
to work, and he even charged that men
and boys had been employed to throw
stones at the cars.
Mr.. Everett declared that he would
begin prosecutions within a few days
against several of the more radical oi
the union men who, he said, had beer
melting riots.
There was a feeling of uncertainty al
to the outcome of the meeting today
and the belief was growing that there
would be further trouble.

weu-Known General Reported to Be
Promoting the Scheme.
HAVANA, July 3.-La Lucha today
said i'll part:
Cuba during the last few months has
been a land of many surprises. The
latest is the establishment of royalist
party. The new organization is unim-
portant at present, numbering fewer
than 90 members, but a well-known
Cuban general, who claims to be a de-
scendaut Of Charlemagne, is reported to
be the ell of the party.
"Ihe Cuban general referred to is un-
derstood to deny that he is the head of
party with such objects, but there is
considerable evidence that such move.
ment is on foot He is the officer who
was recently reported to Governor Gen
eral Brooke for collecting 30 centimes
from Spanish merchant on the ground
that 1t was an assessment for fund de-
voted to driving out the interveners.
General Ludlow has been made aware
of his successful attempts to collect
money from gambling houses under
threats to use his influence to have
them closed if the proprietors refused
his demands.
For political reasons it has not been
considered advisable thus far to proceed
against him, but he has been warned to
discontinue these practices and it is be-
ieved now that he is more interested in
making money than in starting a new
party.

DRRYFUS SPEAKS LITTLE.
Partial Paralysis of Speech Owing to
Long ~Icnce-His Compos-
ure Remarkable.

PARIS, July 3.-As the outcome of
the governments prudence all France
remains tranquil. Maitries Demage
and Labor, with Mathieu Dreyfus and
his wife, arrived last evening at Rem
nes. The town is quite tranquil.
Maitre Labor, who will defend Cap
tain Dreyfus before the courtmartial,
has never seen him. Madame Dreyfus
only obtained permission to visit her
husband thrice weekly for an hour.
His compOsure is the theme of all
tongues. 1t seems that in the train one
of the officers began to read news
paper, but although Dreyfus had not
seen paper since he left France, he did
not display the slightest interest.
He speaks very little, and seems to
suffer a partial paralysis of speech,
owing to his long silence. Even on
board the SfaX he had to communicate
with the officers by writing.
He is credited on good authority with
the following: "My condemnation and
sentence We're the symbol of anti-Jew-
ish odlum. My judges were involun-
tarily deceived. May my undeserved
expiation put an end to all racial or re-
igiOus teuds in the army and III that
