HUGE. TENT FELL.
Serious Accident Marred Christian
Endeavor Convention at Denver.
Movement Started to AmaIgamate
A1bYOung Peoples Societies of
Protestant Churches-BishOp
JOyce's Opinion.

Denver, Col.s July 14.-The big Tent
Endeavor, ewhereothe Christian En-
deavor convention has been held for
the past four days, was blown over
yesterday afternoon at four o'clock
while more than 5000 people were at
tending the proceedings. The injured
numbered nearly a score, but fortu-
nately none sof them were seriously
hurt. The presence of mind of A. M.
Ramsey, OF Chicago, who sprang to a
chair and called to the people to hold
up the canvas and poles, undoubtedly
prevented danger Of suffocation, but
as it was many women tainted and
were extricated from the folds of the
canvas with much difficulty.
A movement of signal Importance
in the religious world has been
launched by the Christian Endeavor
convention, now in session here. 1t is
a tentative proposal to work for the
amalgamation of the Christian En-
deavar society, the Epworth league
and the Baptist union and it will be
presented in the form of a petition
from the Endeavorers to the other ma
tional bodies. In taking the initiative
in the advocacy of such union the
Christian Endeavor society points to
its priority of establishment as justi-
dcation.
DR.. Doyle presented some carefully
prepared Immigration statistics and in
the course of his address said: MANY
of those who come to us from distant
lands have no intention of spending
their days here. They are undesirable
socially, politically, intellectually,
morally and spiritually. They have
no understanding or comprehension
of our political principles and institu-
lions and display the densest ignorance
upon political subjects. They are
morally and spiritually degraded. Our
foreign problem at home is thus seen
to be very great one. We must Ameri-
canfze and Christianize them or they
will Europeanize and un-Christianize
us. In this work the church must bear
prominent part.
Impractical. Says Bishop Joyce.
Minneapolis, Mimi, July 14.-Bishop
Isaac w. Joyce, president of the Ep-
worth league, does not believe that the
Christian Endeavor suggestion made
at Denver for the amalgamation of the
Christian Endeavor, Epworth league
and Baptist Young Peoples union is
practicable Each, he says, stands for
its own denomination, the Christian
Endeavor society being Congregational.
The Epworth league represents all
branches of the Methodist church in
America.
Sees Danger In Mormonism.
Denver, Col, July 13.-Rev. A. X.
Wright. of Boise, Ida, a delegate to
the Y. P. S. G. E. convention, created

and declaring that the present leaders
of Idaho, Utah and some other states
had formed alliances with the Mormon
church He predicted that there would
soon be ten Mormons in the United
