A dispatch received from Manila
last Monday states that it has been
raining and storming almost con-
stantly for two days, and the country
along the American south and bay
lines is literally flooded.
The soldiers are suffering great dis
comfort. The 18th infantry regiment
at Pasay is in the worst position, be-
ing practically surrounded by water.
The bridges that were used for get
ting supplies have been washed away,
and some of the companies are now
separated by streams six feet deep.
In many cases the men are sleeping
with three feet of water beneath their
hunks, which are elevated on cracker
boxes. The company cooks, when
preparing the meals, stand knee deep
in water.
Some of the roads leading to Pasay
are simply impossible, and the rice
fields on all sides are one great lake.
A high wind blew over several tents
of the I'd reserve hospital.
Manila bay is impossible of naviga-
ton by either launches or canoes, and
no vessels are leaving the harbor.
The U. S. transport Centennial is
ready to sail for San Francisco with
discharged soldiers, but the latter
have to sit around the water frcnt all
day, drenched to the skin, waiting for
a launch to take them to the steamer.
The river Pasig and all the other
streams are swollen and the city
streets at all low points are covered
with water.

is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines

(From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, n, CO.
1t may be question whether the editor of
newspaper has the right to publicly recommend
any of the various proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet preventive ofsuffering
feel it duty to say good word for Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy We have
known and used this medicine in family for
twenty years and have always found it reliable In
many dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while physician is awaited We do
not bel ieve in depending implicitly any medi-
cine for a cure, but do believe that if bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on
hand and administered at the inception of an attack
much suffering might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician would not be re-
quired At least this has been experience for

CLOSE OF The CHRISTIAN EN-
DEA TOR CONVENTION.

The 18th international convention
Of Christian Endeavor closed Mon
day night amid scenes of impressive
solemnity attending the utterance OF
s'The Last Word" by the president
and secretary in each of the great
tents respectively, following from
each state and country represented
and, last exhortations from M. e.
Bishop Vincent of Kansas and Evan
gelist Chapman of New York.
The following statements as to the
attendance, ETC., were given:-
without doubt the attendance at
this convention has very much ex-
ceeded that of any other Christian
Endeavorer's convention ever held
in the matter of those present at the
various meetings. That is to say
that out of the $4,000 Endeavorers
registered which is the estimate of
the reception committee and includes
members, there have been more who
attended meetings than at any previ-
GUS times. The estimate of attend
ance at meetings gives total of 1885,,
500. There were $4,000 Endeavorers
in attendance, including Detroit del
gates. -
Chairman w. Fl. Strong of the local
committee responded to the compH-
ments rendered before the mighty
audience and attributed the success
of the convention to individual faith
fulness.
Great Britajn's leading representa-
tives, Messrs. Tressider and Mursell of
London and Pollock of Glasgow,
stood together and sang "Britain for
Christ. Then all sang ''God Save the
Queen" and "America." DR.. J. Viii
bur Chapman preached the conclud-
ing sermon in tent Endeavor from the
texts, Luke 6:6 and 1O-the story of
the healing of the man with a wither-
ed hand. The closing address in tent
Williston was made by Bishop John
FL. Vincent of the Methodist church.
The tendencies of the '99 gathering
along educational lines has caused
this convention to be called the ed
vocational convention. It's general
trend is conceded to have been to
broaden, as we'll inspire the young
people, rather than to have led them
toward narrow forms of spirituality
or intolerant religious views.
The last quiet hour, early morning
service was largely attended. Mis-
sions was the topic in both the great
tents at the morning meetings; for
eign missions in Tent Endeavor;
home missions in tent Williston. In
the former meeting the foreign mis-
sionaries present were introduced to
the great audience by "Father En-
deavorer Clark"
The introduction of missionaries by
President Clark was one of the fea-
lures of the convention. Thirty of
the workers in heather fields spoke a
sentence or two in the languages
spoken on the scene of their labors,
and retired. The hand clapping
greeting their appearance and retire
ment was almost constant. D. B. Ed
dy of Leavenworth, Kan, member of
the Vale band, spoke of "The Great
Resources of Missions"

that Bryan will be the nominee of his
party in 1900, though am aware that
great many of the democratic lead
ers profess to be for him. German is
popular in the East and if nominated
would put up stiff fight, but he
would hardly be satisfactory to the
radical element of his party in the
South and West. The democrats are
in bad position, for there never was
time when they had so little Presi-
dental timber, and if Bryan should
be nominated, it will he largely due
to the scarcity of available candi-
dates.n

When President Mckinley a


nounced that the officers of the new
regiments of volunteers, to be enlist
ed for servicce in the Philippines,
would be chosen from the troops
which had seen service, with few
from the regular army, he meant ex-
actly what he said, but it has not pre-
vented great pressure, political and
otherwise, being brought to bear up
on him to give commissions to men
who have had no military experience
whatever. This pressure, great as it
is, win hardly succeed in landing
single commission. In fact, its very
existence is almost an insult to the
President, as it implies doubt of his
word. The Presidents POSITIONS the
proper one. The more efficient these
volunteer regiments are made, the
greater their value will be to the
country, and nothing can add more to
their efficiency than to give them ex-
perienced officers. They are intended
for the hardest kind of service, as the
understanding is that as soon as the
rainy season is over in the Philippines
Gen. Otis will start the most aggres-
sive campaign he has yet waged
against the Filipinos, and these vol
unteers will participate in that cam
paign.

n:iterate Russian Peasants.

The illiteraey Of Russia exceeds that of any other country claiming to have g civilized government. The Humani- tartan states that in 10000 villages of the vast empire there is not a school. and it is estimated that Tot 20 per cent of the population of the empire has acquired even the rudiments of 8 common school education. It has been figured out that if the czar would dis band 100 GOO men of his immense army he would thereby save money enough to provide a school for each of these villages. It is not surprising that the czar should desire to reach some arr arrangements with the other nations which would permit him to partially disarm.
