Dear Coioyed American ::
We have been ten days at sea with no

Shut in from the world, as the captain
announced when we reached the break.
water line Saturday night, June 0, 9:SO
o'clock. We have, thus far, travelled
1884 miles. We expect to reach
Queenstown, Ireland, sometimes We'd
nesday the 81, then We have s44 miles
to 60 to Liverpool. The voyage, so
far, has been, to say the least, cham
ing. There are 13O passengers, all fret
class. This ship does not carry second
class passengers, 30 all are On terms OF
perfect equality In this ideal world.
The three colo1ed dele gates have bees
greatly sought after to aid in the noon
tide service, and our very presence any
where on boald seems the occasion for
marked courtesy from the captain and
chief purser. Today we had occasion
to seek the purser In his office which is
rol ed off from the staterooms etc., to
separate aud restrict the territory OF
the steerage passenger. As he SAW as
approaching him he came forward, and
IN the most fstherly and courteous
manner, bade US to wait until he should
make it easy for US to pass, by unity
ing the rope. This 10 q courtesy have
not observed to be extended to any
other of the very large number OF
women on board. There are more
steerage passengers aboard than others.
They number 145. The crew, includ'
ing officers ETC., numbers 9S. Such
courtesy and attention from all on
board was never dreamed OF BY me, and
take 1t as fit prelude to the joyf
awaiting us at the termination of this
voyage, when we shall enjoy the hos.
pitality OF our Scottish friends. Ne
coIored faces are On board save those of
the delegates to the worlds convention.

keep his eyes wide open to prevent his admin

1t is a little puzzling to understand why the
administration is preventing action on the
Nicaragua Canal bill at this session of Congress,
but perfectly plain that 1t is doing so, through

is something behind the desire to postpone
this legislation, which has been endorsed by
all the political parties and by the public
sentiment of the country as well. OF course

Easfer Day,

Sunday was typical Easter Day. The at
mosphere was almost balmy Snd bright and
warm sunshine filled the air and awakened
that joyous feeling which should be expert
enced by everyone on this, "the happiest,
gladdest festival OF all the Christian year"
The different places OF worship in and around
Bel Air were thronged, and the services were
in full keeping with the day. The new and
attractive Easter costumes were very much
in evidence, and the ladies Of Bel Air looked
as they always do, winsome and charming,
only perhaps little more so than usual.
At Emmanuel church the services were OF
a special character. The chancel and altar
were more profusely and elegantly decorated
than ever. The extensive conservatory be-
longing to DIR. Howard A. Kelly had been
placed at the carte blanche disposal of the
ladies, and the result may be better imagined
than described. The music was inspiring. A
large choir rendered the different numbers in
style and with vim and energy which well
repaid them for the labor In rehearsing. II

Mrs. Stifer, Misses Grace Street, and Margare

at the ofTertory were the chief features. th
latter being especially well rendered. Tn
sermon was upon the text, snow is Chris
risen from the dead, and become the first fruit
OF them that slept" Cor. 10 20. 1t was a
earnest, forceful and convincing exposition
of the resurrection and its results. The offel
tory was a special one and will be used towar
the extingutshment Of the floating debt of th
the church. The receipts for the day wer
nearly $40. The children's collection for th
ChiIdren's Mission Fund amounted to $2l, 9
against $l3 in 1889.
