CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoReRS.
Their Worlds Convention Promises to
Be a Great Gathering.

The first worlds convention of the
Young Peoples Society OF Christian En-
deavor will be held in London, beginning
July 10. This convention promises to be
the greatest on record; 10000 Americans,
the largest delegation that ever crossed
the sea in body, are expected to be
present, and with the Endeavers in the.
United Kingdom and those from the con-
tinent and other foreign countries the to-
tai number will probably reach 60,o00,
representing 4,000,000 members. The
convention is. % be held in the Alexandra
Palace, an immense structure just out Of
London proper.
The task of caring for such a great
crowd is one of no mean proportions and
many difficulties have arisen in the path
of those who have in charge the arrange
ment of the. details for the reception Of
the visitors. The principal one of these
is to find boarding places for the dele
gates. Every bed in the hotels. boarding
houses and private homes of the Endeav-
orers has been engaged for the eventful
week and. still 5000 of the expected
guests would have no place to lay their.
head, to say nothing of filing their stom-
achs This difficulty can be averted,
however, in the minds of the managers.
1t is planned to lodge these 5000 home
less ones in the Alexandra Palace. The
structure has a great banqueting hall
and this lange, room will be divided off
into dormitories, enough of them to hold
1,200 young women. This leaves $500
young men to be cared for and for this
army the managers planned to erect a
mighty eRcampment under canvas, like
any other army would have. One thou
sand tents are needed, but the job of get
ting them is q hefculean one. All the
tentmakers of any consequence in Eng
land are engaged in turning out tents for
the great army of British soldiers who
are at war in South Africa. The manag-
ers of the convention were therefore
obliged to place their orders with small
tentmakers who are also rushed with
work and so they hardly know where the
tents are coming from, but they do know
that none of the guests will be left out in
the cold. Another setback for the dele

Electrical Trea

A German authority has recently an
nounced the discovery of tree in the
forests of Central India which has
most curious characteristics. The
leaves of the tree are of a highly sem
sitive nature, and SO full of electricity
that whoever touches one of them re-
celves an electric shock. 1t has a very
singular effect upon magnetic needle.
and viii influence it at a distance of
even seventy feet. The electrical
strength of the tree varies according to
the time of day. it being strongest at
midday and weakest at midnight. In
wet weather its powers disappear alto
gether. Birds never approach the tree,
nor have insects ever been seen upon 1t.

tries from that date unless the British
Government receded from its contention
that it was entitled to exercise the right
of suzerainty over the affairs of the
South African republic. Within a few
hours the English premier replied
through the Office of the secretary of
state for the colonies that the question
was too grave one to be answered with
out reflection, and the next day the in
vasion of Natal by the Beers began, three
columns pouring in from the Free State
and the Transvaal. So far as can be es-
timated. about $4,000 Beers were put in
to the field, and as every man was tine
marksman, fighting behind defenses prac-
tically impregnable, the burghers had ad-
vantages on their side that only numeri-'
csI superiority, patience and time could
overcome. Therefore, the Beers scored
many successes, the British suffering sew
eral disastrous defeats before they learn
ed the art of war as practiced by the willy
mountaineers.
No figures regarding Beer losses have
ever been given out it being the practice
Of the burghers to bury their dead as soon
as possible and make no report on them
whatever.
Bloemfontein, the capital of the Orange
Free State, was entered by the British
March II, this resulting in breaking the
backbone of the Free Staters' resistance.
President Steyn fed to Winburg and es-
tablished his capital there. but was later
compelled to abandon the place, and the
Orange republic being declared out of ex-
istence. hundreds of burghers gave up
their rifles and returned to their farms.
From that date the advance of the invad-
ing forces was not checked; the siege of
Wepener was raised after several sharp
engagements had been fought, the border
OF the Orange Free State was crossed
and the territory OF the South African
republic entered for the first time since
the opening OF hostilities; Mafeking was
relieved after a siege OF PA days, and the
march upon johannesburg, the metropolis
OF the Transvaal, was begun in earnest.
II was thought there would be serious
resistance ar the Gold Reef City, but

tempt driving he British back. and the
town was surrendered May 80 without a

all foreign observers spoke of it as

Beers have chosen to open it to the Brit
ish, due only to the,desire to avoid use
less sacrifice of life and property. They
might have delayed the inevitable end
somewhat, and might have inflicted
heavy losses ON the enemy. But save the
capital and their country they could not,
and they concluded TO bow to fate. The
South African war is over. Peace is now
a question of few weeks, if not of days.
The South african republics are extinct,
and Great Britain has won through over
whelming superiority of numbers.
At o'clock Tuesday afternoon, almost
eight months after the declaration of war,
Lord Roberts entered Pretoria. While
the eommander-in-chief of the greatest
army Great Britain ever put in the field
was fulfilling the promise he made to the
guards at Bloemfontein to lead them into
the capital of the Transvaal, England
was celebrating the event with wild en-
thusiasm. Throughout the length and
breadth of the country the news spread
like wildfire. Based on the recollection
of recent European wars, when the oecu-
patton of the enemy's capital signifed the
end of hostilities, Lord Roberts terse
telegram was taken universally to mean
the practical finish of the war which has
tried Great Britain's military resources
as they were never tried before.
In London the mansion house and the
war Office almost instantaneously became
the centers for jubilant throngs. Flags
appeared as if by magic, and traffic had
to be diverted through other streets. Hat
less and coatless men and boys ran
through the city alleys to see for them
selves the bulletins announcing the news
and to join in the thunder of cheers or
add their voices to the joyful throngs
singing God Save the Queen"
Judging from Lord Roberts phraseolo-
gy, the occupation Of Pretoria was not
accomplished by any loss of life. One of
the first things done by Lord Roberts

Because of large British flag flying

British flag to the breeze ON the princi-

on the warden and requested the removal
of the flag as offensive TO old soldiers
and liable to incite riot. The request
was refused At o'clock large com
Tnittee of Grand Army men called on the
warden and requested the removal of the
flag. This request was refused and the
committee was ordered off the premises.
The committee refused to go. The war
den said no power on earth could make
him remove the flag A crowd of hun
dreds began to gather. Mayor Green was
called and he warned MeClaughry he was

Mayor he demanded the flag be forth

and order, McClaughry again refused,
but Mrs McClaughry called a negro SER

flag. The crowd then dispersed.
