RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
We renlllrm our mlherenco to the pilncl
plea which , under God's blessings , hav
made the Chilstlnn Endeavor movcmen
what It IB today.
1. And foremost , personal devotion to ou
Dlvlno I ord and Snvlor , Jesus.
2. The covenant of obligation embodle
In the prayer meeting' pledge.
3. Cotiflunt religious training for nil kind
of service Involved In the various coin
mlttfca.
4. Strenuous loyalty to the local churc
and denomination with which each soclut
Is connected.
5. Wu reafllrm our Increasing confldcnc
In the Interdenominational , spiritual fe
lawshlp , through which we- hope not tc
organic unltv , but to fulllll our Lord1
pr.iyer "that they all may bo done. " Th
fellowship already extends to nil evangelic !
denominations , and we should greatly di
ploro any movement that would Interrui
or Imperil It.
C. Chrl tlan Endeavor stands always nn
cvervwhi'iu for Christian citizens. It IB a
foievcr opposed to the naloon. the gamblln
den , the biothcl nnd every like Inlqult ) . :
stands for temperance , for law and orde
for Sabbath keeping , for a pure politic !
atmosphere In a word , for rlghteouxncs
And this It docs , not by allying Itself with
poliuc.il party , but attempting through 11 :
quick consciousness of Its Individual men
liers to Intluence all parties and nil conuni
nltlcs '
7. That nil monies gathered by the vnrloi
H clclies of Ch Istlin Endeavor for the cnuj
of missions be alvvitS sent to the mlssloi
ary boards of the special denomination I
\\hlcli the particular society belongs.
8. Christian Endeavor has for Its ult
irate aim a purpose no less -wide and lofl
than the bringing of the world to Clirl-
Hence , It Is an organization Intensely evui
gellcnl nnd mlsslonarj In Its spirit and (1
sires to clo nil It may under the direction i
the chuichus and missionary boards for ml
slonafy extension the world around. \ \
rejoice In the growing friendliness of Chrl

E. "Bmlley of Denver , Colo. , led the servlc

concerning Christian Endeavor and
: he missions.
Miss Ella D. Mcljaurln said In part : "The
gifts of Christian Endeavor societies to the
missionary boards have Increased yearly ,
even when contributions from other sources
have decreased and many societies are sup
porting their own representatives on the
Held. A little country society In Illinois , or
ganized In May , 1894 , meeting In a school
house , consisting of twenty-two members ,
support their own missionary In China ,
eleven members raising the entire salary
of $300. Christian Endeavorers have not
only given their money nnd their prayers ,
but thousands have looked Into the face
of the World Saviour and asked : 'Lord ,
Lord , what wilt Thou have me to do ? ' And
this morning from the east and the west ,
from the north and the south , from away In
the heart of Asia , down In Africa and across
In Europe , comes our rallying cry : 'For
Christ and the church , ' the peoples , tribes
and tongues are hearing In their own
language the wonderful works of God. "
At the close of this address Rev. W. E.
Park of Glovcrsvllle , N. Y. , presented the

Rev. O. P. Glfford of Buffalo , N. Y. , deliv
ered an address on "The Light of God , the
Llfo of Man. " His effort was a spiritual
one and produced on his hearers a profound
Impression.
The address of Rev. J. II. W. Stuckcnburg
on "The Christian Personality" followed.
"The epoch of personality , " said the s , eaker ,
"means a new era. We have had an en-
thu la m for nature , but now we have a pas
sion for humanity. Things have ab orbed
the attention ; now man Is the supreme con-
rern. Political economy las dlscu ed rlchss ,
national wealth , value and such things ; but
now Iloscher , one of the foremost economists ,
pronounces man himself the beginning and
the end of economic science , and Europe and
America echo the thought. Colerldgo
afllrmcl that property Is the grand basis of
government , but we are far bejond that and
know that men are the grand basis , while
property Is but an attachment to the per
sonality. On education the great aim has
been to teach men something ; now the aim
Is to make them something. "
Dr. McEwan of the New York state union
then presented the state banner sent by Ilev.
A. A. Fulton , the missionary of China , to

Dr. Puddlefoot's address on "National Need

of the meeting. He said that during the pas
twc'.vo years 5,000 people have been killed b ;
violence In our land and not more * than
per cent of the guilty ones have suffered th
extreme penalty of Hie law. The record o
homicide has risen from 1,467 In 1882 to 9,80
in 1894. In twenty years over 26,000 chlldrc :
had been abandoned by their mothers In Ne >
York. Ho attributed the real cause of s
much crime to the scarcity of churches. I
thousands of towns , villages and communl
tics they have no church. "Of course ,
said ho , "there are oilier causes of crime
The rapid growth of the city at the expens
of the rural district Is one , and It Is as tru
In newer sections as In the o'd , and It work
badly both ways. The decayed towns hav
hird work to keep up the school nnd churc
for lock of material , and the children go int
ttio cities which have as jet n room fo
thousands cf children growing up with notl :
Ing but the street education of the slumi
So thnt today the two points of danger 11
on the frontier and In the great cities. "

"Impress upon the Imperial governmen
the extreme necessity of the Pacific cabli

Interested as stated by Sanford Fleming li

In reply to this the * premier received i

that none of the other agents general hat
received Instructions to co-operate with bin
In urging the construction of the cable. Th
South Australian government alone hai
taken a stand on the question and Its attl

project.
The objection Is raised that statistics 01
the cable are very Incomplete and unsatlsfoc

CHEYENNE. July 15. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Gexvernor Rlcliarda today received
the following letter from a citizen of
Maryvalethe nearest town to the scene of
the Indian troubles In northwestern Wyom
ing :
"Tli3 ten Bannock bucks and six squaws
captured In the labt raid have been brought
In and were given n bearing before our jus
tice ot the peace and fined $75 and costs each ,
a total of about $1,200. As jou understand
It takes a considerable posse to attack their
parties , the scouts are now out and will
repprt In a day or two , when , If there are
less than 100 , we will go to them. If there
are more , as some report , we will bJ com
pelled to have assistance , or all of our past
works \vlll be more than lost , as the Indians ,
now defiant , will become aggressive.
"Some of our people are much scared and
talk of leaving their homes for fear of
trouble here In thevalley. . One of them ,
whose wife Is half Indian , has just returned
from the Fall River basin and reports more
than 200 Indians as being In the region , and
bat they say there will be heaps of Indians
lero 'bje and bye , and then we will light. ' "
The writer asks the governor to prepare
'or emergencies which may arise by having
.roops sent within easy access. The nearest
troops are at Fort Washakle , over tbiee
lays' march for cavalry from the scene of
: he expected trouble. The trouble Is Inter-
feilng seriously with the ranch work of the
region , as the settlers are all under arms
and are ready for trouble Governor Rich
ards said In regard to the troubles'
"This state of affairs was distinctly fore
shadowed In my letter to the secretary of the
Interior on June 17. The same trouble conies
up every year , and the settlements are so
sparse In the best hunting country that the
settlers are practically without protection.
It Is outslds Indians who are doing the mis
chief. At the Lander reservation In this
state , when the Indians get at large , the old
chief , Washakle , sends bis Indian police
after them and brings them In. "
When asked as to the outcome , the gov
ernor said"I think the settlers will be
able to protect themselves by massing to
gether and giving their time and attention
to the marauders , but I must say they should
not b'J compelled to do that , especially
against the wards of the general govern
ment , who are not only supposed to obey the
law like ordinary citizens , but to be under
both civil and military restraint. "

DENVER , July 15. A special to the News
from El Paso , Tex. , says : The Rio Grande
Is pouring a greater flood of water Into this
valley than for many years before. It has
steadily risen for several days , and last night
It jumped up nearly a foot , covering a large
part of the lower town. This part of the
city1 was- supposed tovbo 'protected by a well
built levee , but the river broke In below the
termination of fhe levee and backed up nearly
to the Santa Fe tracks. The houses In this
section of town are chiefly adobe , or unburncd
brick , nnd as the water surrounds them they
melt away. If the river rises much higher
hundreds of houses -will disappear Into the
flood. Alrerdy more than a score of them
have succumbed to the water , and many fam
ilies have taken refuge In the houses of their
friends on higher ground. Citizens who lived
In comfortable adobe houses In the Second
warJ were hurried out of their houses before
dajlight this morning , some of them barely
getting out before their dwell ngs went down ,
William Lo'mann and his family are
peculiarly affilcted A few dajs ago one ol
his two children died of scarlet fever , and
yesterday the other was nlnfost In a dying
condition. Last night while watching theli
suffering chill the parents became aware
that water was lashing the floor of theli
liouse. so soon after midnight they took ur
the child and wadel through the muddy flood
to a higher place , where they were made
comfortable
The TexasPacific railroad shops and round ,
houses , the Internat'oml Smelting company's
works and Rassctt & Lyler's brick yards are
all flooded with water ; also three dairies
John Plnckney and his family were awakeneJ
by the flood just before day and had to wade
trom their house to the embankment of the
railroad track. There Is no telling whal
course the channel of the river will take
before the flood subsides.
Floods like the present one always changee :
the bed of the river and It Is believed Uncle
Sam will lose several square miles of terrl
tory by the river moving farther northeast
Information from San Marclal , N. M. , Is tc
the effect that the river Is still rising.

SOFIA , July 15 Stambouloff , ex-premlei
of Bulgaria , was returning home this even ,
Ing from the Union club , accompanied by
colleague , M. Petchoff , when they were at
tacked by four persons , armed with revolver !
and knives. M. Stambouloff received severa
wounds In the head and lost a quantity o
blood. His condition Is serious. The assail
ants attacked the carriage , compelling tin
coachman to stop , M. Stambouloff's servan
fired his revolver , b.ut missed the mark. M
Stambouloff Jumped out and Immediately re
celved a cut which almost severed his ham
from his wrist. M Stambouloff then tried ti
escaps , but was followed and stabbed In tin
head and received a revolver shot , when hi
fell to the ground , where his assailants con
tlnued their stabs , badly wounding his othei
hand. Ho declares thathe saw gens d'armei
running away , as well as the assailants.
The shots were heard at the Union clul
and friends came out and found M. Stam
bouloff covered with blood and surroundee
by several persons and gens d'armes. nom
of whom had noticed where the assailant :
had fled to. M. Stambouloff was taken ti
his house and laid upon a bofa. The doctori
declare that one , and perhaps both , of hi
bands must be amputated , and be may pos
slbly die.
While surrounded by Ms political friends
the chiefs of police wanted to enter the house
but the wounded statesman's wife sternl :
forbade them to do so , and accused them o
complicity In the crime. She told them t
search for the culprltu. Several arrests hav
been made. There U great Indignation fel
In the city. The attack was made upon
frequented street. U la generally remarkei
now that the latest number of the govern
ment newspaper organ violently attackei
M. Stambauloff , accusing him of being a for

personal vengeance of persons who nufferci
during his regime as premier.

WASHINGTON , July 15. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Captain H. F. Hodges , engi
neer corps ofilcer In charge of Im
provement of the Missouri river nt
and above Sioux City , has submitted his
annual report for the fiscal year ending
June 30 , 1S95. to Chief Engineer Cralghlll.
The report says that the complete rectifica
tion of the river In the vicinity ot Sioux
City would require a contraction of the chan
nel to suitable width for n distance of about
five miles by spur dikes , supplemented b >
mattress revetments. For purposes of this
work $10,000 was allotted from the river nnd
harbor appropriation August 17 , 1894 , and
$40,000 set aside from the appropriation for
the Missouri river from Its meiiith to Sioux
City , by the sundry civil act March 2 , 1895.
The latter sum was allotted for the protec
tion of the river In front of Sioux City on
the Iowa side. With the $10.000 work was
begun In the construction ot two spur dikes
Immediately above the old svstcm , to stop
the cutting which was beginning there and
for the protection of the old dikes by "T"
beads. The work of construction was begun
as early tn the spring ns the condition of the
river would permit and was finished May ,
1895. The two new dikes nnd two "T" hnads
for the old group were built before the funds
were exhausted.
The report says that nil contracts
were completed satisfactorily nnd on
time , except that with F. D. Halm of Jasper ,
Minn. , for the necessary broken stone. The
contract was carried out by his bondpinon.
however , nt the specified rate , l.SOO yards of
stone , twelve R white oak piles , S.500
feet B. M. of pine lumber , and 441orils of
brush being used. The piles were furnlshe-d
nnd driven by contract. The remainder of
the work was done by hire of labor.
The dikes and "T" bead have not been In
place long enough to give Indication e > f sta
bility. They have already caused arvelluns
to form , reaching well abo-.u low wai r ami
extending 100 fet or more below the rnds of
the heads. It Is hoped thnt In the course of
a few seasons they will build out ! he bank
nearly to their extremities The entire cost
of the work was $10.000. "he project lor ex

sundry civil act contemplates the uimitiuc-
tlon ot spur dikes at Cumlng Bluff three-
quarters of n mile above all old workr.
Twenty dikes ore projected , spaced from 200

WASHINGTON , July 15. Two more naval
engineers have broken down physically and
will bo relieved as a result of severe work.
One Is Chief Engineer Magee , who has been
an Invalid at the New York navy yard ever
since he was detached from the Monterey
and a victim of fireman's heart disease. He
was retired Satuiday and ordered before a
reviewing board. The second Is Chief En
gineer Herschel Main , who has a record of
hard service and hair breadth escapes that
few can match. He was In charge nf the en
gine on the Ill-fated Trenton when she went
down before the Samoan hurricane and be
haved then with great coolness and gallantry
Ho was also on the old Saglnaw when she was
wrecked on a reef off Mlday Island In the
Pacific , and It was largely owing to his abil
ity and Ingenuity that the ship's company was
saved. When the ship was wrecked all of the
navigation Instruments were lost. Engineer
Main , who was not supposed to bo a scien
tific navigator , manufactured a sextant from
the dial of an old steam guuge , with which
a boat was navigated safely to the Hawaiian
Islands , 2,400 miles distant , and relief ob
tained for the ship's company.

cast blank , with scattering references to
Clinton N. Powell , Attorney Williams , Siiper-
Intendent Smith of St. Paul , Cooper of Des
Molncs , Mrs. Sudborough and Mrs. Pcattlc.
The opposition to Dr. Marble was as yet
without a candidate , so the six contended
themselves with voting blank ballots and
occasionally giving n complimentary vote to
their friends.
At the end of the thirty-sixth ballot It
was evident thnt both sides were determined
to die In the last ditch nnd that an election
at that time was Impossible. 'i'lie Marble
men wanted to adjourn to Wednesday night ,
while the opposition wanted to delay the
matter two weeks In order to gel their
candidate groomed. A half duzcn amend

the .worst of It In the transfer of funds.
Ho suggested tlio possibility that
money that really belonged In the
school fund had been transferred to the
