WATER INUNDATED THE SHORE.

Chicago, July IA phenomenon known to
Geneva and other Swiss lakes as seiche made its
Appearance on Lake Michigan to-day. In con-
vulsion the lake sent big wave landward, and
residents along the shore suddenly found the water
tapping at their doorsteps. All along the lake
front the waves swept up against breakwaters or
over the beach. Steamers were tossed about at
their docks, smaller craft were thrown on Shore
boats broken and in several instances loss Of
life was narrowly ayerted
Two boys who were bathing north of Lincoln
Park were saved after they had been carried out
by the receding wave. A fisherman was rescued
by the Evanston life saving crew, and another
bather, an Evanston boy pulled out Of the
water ne in danger of drowning.
At the weather bureau the barometer indicated
sudden high pressure, followed by equally
sudden drop. A wave of heavy atmospheric press
ure passed over the city. and it struck the
lake moving from west TO cast, the water was
pushed out With the pressure released the wave

LECTURES AT NORTHFIELD.
INTEREST IN THE REV c. CAMPBELL SroRGANs
SERIES CONTINUES.
fly TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. !


East Mortified, Mass, July 1.-THE Rev. G.
Campbell Morgan continued his series Of lectures
this morning on 1.-THE Crises Of the Christ" The
interest in these lectures continues undated. Many
of his listeners have been present every morning
since the opened In the summer Bible School,
and they expect to remain through the month.
1.-THE Cruciixion of Christ has been the division
of his series of addresses, which has occupied the
last few mornings. This morning, under this sec
tion he spoke on the subject 1.-The Kingly Exodus"
Christ he said when He to the cross, came
bearing the sins Of the world. Going from the
cross He passed out king. and left wide open the
door that all who desired might in with the
Saviour and leave behind them their sins. Divine
kingship is based upon the fact that God is the
Creator He is the Sustaner, the sole proprietor OF
all men. No escape these facts. God has
never surrendered the reinS of government The
story of the fall of man is rebellion against God;
the result, God revealed the divine kingshp in His
Son Jesus Christ. Christ is Gods anointed king
for the accomplishment of certain ends, but this is
not the eternal arrangement In eternity there is
the sovereignty of God. That point must come in
Divine Providence.

MAY BE MOVE IN HosTILITIEs BETWEEN PENN
sYLvANIA RAILROAD AND GOULD INTERESTS.
The fact came out yesterday that A J. Cassatt
president OF the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
had resigned from the board of directors of thu
Mercantile Trust Company. and Wall Street was
inclined to regard his action a move in the hos
tlities which are apparently in progress between
the Pennsylvania Railroad and Gould interests as
the relations between the trust company and the
Gould properties have many years been more or
less close. An officer of the Mercantile Trust Com,
pany said yesterday afternoon. however: "The
resignation has no special significance. Mr. Cassatt
mas resigned as director OF other similar institu-
lions IN New ork, merely because he could not
ind time to attend their meetings" 49,
1t learned that Mr.. Cassatt had resiere5 a1so
