When the day is completed there will liavo been eight great gatherings, provided tho rain, which began falling Just after tho big morning meetings assembled, docs not check operations. Tho tendcnclco of tho 'D9 gathering along educational nnd other practical lines has caused this convention to bo called the edu cational convention. Its general trend Is conceded to havo been to broaden, ns well na Inspire . tho young peoplo, rather than to have led them toward ...iiiuw luriuH ui spirituality or intol erant religious views. Tho last quiet hour early morning service was largely attended. "Mis- u.ui.o nuo iiiu iuijiu in uuiii wiu grcui tents at tho morning meetings; for eign missions In Tent Endeavor; homo missions In Tent Wllllston. In tho former meeting tho foreign mission aries present were Introduced to the great audience by "Father Endeavor er" Clark. Tho first address was by Ilev. Dr. A. McLean of Cincinnati. His topic was "Tho Great Need of Mis sions." One of tho prlnclpual addressee In Tent Wllllston was by ltov C. N. How ard of Rochester, N. Y entitled "Our Country's Greatest Peril." QUICK WORK IS PROBABLE. Itcpubllbnns Klkcly to Complete. Tlielr Convention Soon. LEXINGTON, Ky., July 11. The republican stato convention, which meets hero tomorrow, may bo a record breaker for quick work. Tho demo cratic state convention nt Louisville two weeks ago broko tho record other wise, being In session an entire week. Three candidates for the democratic nomination for governor Gocbcl, Stono nnd Hnrdln went Into the con vention, each having about one-third tho delegates. There arc also three candidates for tho republican nomination for gover norTaylor, Stone and Pratt. Attor ney General Taylor claims that about two-thirds of tho delegates aro In structed for him. His friends claim that tho delegates for Colonel Stone nnd Judge Prntt cannot affect tho vote for Taylor by any combination be tween themselves or even with candi dates for tho minor places. Colonel Stono nnd Judge Prntt aro T expected hero today and their friends promise some surprise, but the present Indications arc that the Taylor men will organize tho convention nnd bo able to carry through what Is known ns "the Taylor slate." Taylor is called tho natlonnl administration man, whllo Governor Bradley and other stato ad ministration men aro considered ns favoring some other man. If tho re sults of tho county conventions nro ratified, tho convention hero this week will be as brief as the recent conven tion at Louisville was protracted. Since both Stono and Pratt were distanced In tho race beforo tho county conven tions, there havo been efforts to con centrate on Hon. John W. Ycrkes or somo other dark horse, but so fnr those movements havo collapsed. 1 Annnnl Indian I'ntrwow. DECATUR, Neb., July 11. The an nual Indian powwow opened nt this placo today. This Is tho big event among tho redskins In this part of tho country, and thero were n Inrge num ber on hand today to enter upon tho festivities, which will last for two weeks. Delegations from the Omaha reservation and from somo of tho South Dakota tribes havo been coming in for several days, and thero are not less than 200 aborigines present. They havo brought their tents along with them, and theso make quite a village, pitched out on tho prairie. Tho big man Is Yellow Smoko, a noted chief, who resides on tho Omaha reservation, nnd tho ceremonies aro being con ducted near his lodge. Chiefs and squaws tako part In the powwow and aro having n great time with their In enntntions and dances. Thus far tho ' Indians nro peaceable and thero Is Ht tlo probability of . trouble. Tlio Spnlnards Invade Mexico. CITY OF MEXICO. July 11. Span lards formerly In business In Havana nnd other Cuban cities nro now arriv ing here looking for Investments nnd say that by October fully $130,000,000 of Spanish cnpltal will havo been with drawn from the Island for Spaniards of wealth do not want to risk a long periods of political unrest and posslblo coming Into power of professional Cuban politicians. This wealth which Is being .tnken away by Spaniards. Is good cash and will mainly bo taken to Spain for Investment whllo somo will como to Mexico. Spanish mer chants nnd planters now hero, report tho English ns being tho boldest In vestors now In Cuba nnd declaro tho Americans are timid and havo lost many largo businesses which havo passed Into English hands.

Ho said: "Tho provisions of the Paris tribunal's award aro totally Inadequate. I am confident that seal life Is not one tenth ns great ns In former years. Tho destruction of tho herd Is still pro gressing under pelagic sealing. About three out of every five are recovered, tho other two sinking. Fully three femalo seals are Ulletl to two males." Members of tlio Joint Commission Ito- port Knowledge Onlned. SEATTLE, Wash., July 11. Tho Fairbanks boundary commission has returned from the north. Interviews with tho members indlcato that tho watershed on Whlto pats back of Skaguay nnd Dyen, will bo accepted as the international boundnry line at that point. Tho Whlto and Chllkoot passes constitute tho storm center of the Alaska boundary. At those points the Canadians hope to secure conces sions thnt will cnablo them to anchor down a port of entry Into tho Klondlko gold flcldB. All other parts of the country thereabouts whoro concessions aro looked for aro of llttlo Import ance compared with tho Linn cnnnl which Is tho key to tho situation. Senator Fairbanks, when interviewed, placed importance on tho fact that ho must sit with tho Joint high commla slonors In August, but declined to stato what lines of argument ho would tako up. Rcgnrdlng boundary mattcrB that wero discussed during tho four weeks spent In Alaska, Senntor Foster de clined to speak. "Personally," ho said, "I nm opposed to yielding nn Inch of United Stntoa territory. A careful Investigation, however, demon strates that thero may bo different constructions placed upon treaties In volved ns regards channels, tho Flt uatlon of lesser Islands, and tho like. Dut In the main tho United Stntoa Is plainly given a strip north of Portland canal, or thereabouts, ten marlno lengues Inland, except whoro n well defined mountain range pases tho boundary nearer tho coast. This strip runs to Mt. St. Ellns. Many contend nt tho passes that tho watershed back of Skaguay and Dyoa Is tho dividing line. On one side nro tho headwaters of tho Yukon, and on the other the streams flowing Into Linn canal nro formed. Between theac two districts, thero Is n chain of mountains, in tho opinion of somo, which bring tho boundnry lino somo eighteen miles nearer tho coast. This seems to bo a fair ex planation of tho American view of tho boundnry line. By this construction of tho treaty, It Is hold England will rocelvo tho benefit of every point thnt can bo fairly and honestly granted. On tho other hand, however, the Can adians and many of tho English hold thnt the boundnry should bo drawn thirty miles, or ten mllinc leagues In land from tho headlands. By such a construction of course. Linn canal would bo on Inlet Into Canadian terri tory, and ten marlno leagues inland from tho headlands nt tho ontrnuco would bo many miles south of Skag uay and Dycn and honco Cnnada and England would havo tho coveted port of entry without question of doubt. As I look upon It, personally, Linn cnnnl Is a part of tho ocenn, thereforo It would bo unfair to draw n lino thir ty miles lnlnnd from tho entrance to bodies of wnter to that nature and call It the boundary under tho treaty." ON TIIE VERGE OF REVOLUTION. Depreciated Currency Cnuscs Great Dis content In ftuatoinala. SAN FRANCISCO. July 11. Several leading citizens of Guatemala, Just ar rived on the steamer San Juan, confirm tho report that a revolution is threat ened In that country. A prominent plnnter now hero said: "Tho Inflated currency, combined with tho surplus product of coffee, explnlns tho condi tions. Of late years every bit of arable land hnB been used for the growth of coffeo, with n result that thero Is over production." Tho Call says that President Cnbrera la charged with having ordered tho coinage of a silver standard piece, .C00 flno. In placo of .835 fine. This brought n storm about his ears and he laid tho blamo upon the superintendent of tho mint, who now lies In Jail. In order to adjust matters, Cabrera made a do mnnd upon tho banks for subsidies of sliver. This was refused, with the re sult of tho expulsion of President Dovella of tho Bnnk of England nnd tho forced flight of Alexnndcr A. Brahmsen of the Bank of America. Sliver has been made contraband. All Guatemallans who attempt to ship It aro apprehended and Incarcerated. Tho trensury, foreign relations and public works portfolios in tho cabinet nro now vacnnt, no ono cnrlng to ac cept either ofllce. The floating of $2,500,000 In paper In which tho laboring people nrq pnld, and which is practically worthless, has led to much suffering In all parts of tho country. LOYAL TO AGUINALD0.

A dispatch to tho Trlbuno from London, Eng., snys: Tho completes bucccis of John R. Bartlett's campaign In tho English oil seed trade Is assured When ho camo to England five months ngo tho managers of tho linseed nnd cotton seed crushing mills and refineries vero competing sharply with one another nnd adopting no methods for self pres ervation. Ho has drawn CO per cent of this great trado Into an amalgamat ed company. Ills plan of operations has been adopted by n majority of tho trade, Including all tho stiongest com panies and firms. Ho has mndo con tracts with seventeen corporations nnd Arms nnd purchased twenty-eight mills and twclvo oil refineries, with plant, business nnd good will. Tho British Oil nnd Cnko mills, limited, has boon orgnnlzed to carry into effect theso agreements made by him and his brok ers and conduct tho business for tho common ndvantago of tno majority of tho trade. Tho sharo cupltnl and de benture stock of tlio consolidated company Is 2,250.000, but ,C 500.000 1b reserved for future development of tho business. Tho BrltiBh Oil nnd Cnko Mills, lim ited, Is an exact reproduction of tdm Uar amalgamations In America, with tho slnglo difference In detnll that tho stock Is not watered. Tho now com pany Is neither a trust nor n monopoly but simply ono of many Industrial amalgamations which nro formed tero as readily ns In America. English law sanctions such consolidations and they recelvo tho support of the groatcst financiers, nnd there la no popular ugl tatlon against them. Tho Consolidated compnny will bo powerful enough to control production tho disposal of products Mid tho Im provement of plants will bo tho reduc tion to tho English oil trade. While allowing Mr. Barllett to carry out his own plan without modification, tho British trado Is acting entirely for Itself nnd Independently of nny Amer ican trado amalgamation. Thero is as yet no concerted action hot ween trades of the two countries, nor any nttcmpt to regulnto prices by nn International trust or combination. Some basis of common action may bo arranged In tho future. TEST NEW RAPID-EIRE GUNS. Tito DcsIkiis of Six founders Wlilcli Kellpso l'lovlous Records. NEW YORK, July 10. A new rapid fire gun designed for the protection of mlno fields nnd a novel seml-nuto-mntlc six-pounder for tho navy has been successfully tested on tho prov ing grounds of tho Drlggs-Scabury Gun nnd Ammunition company nt Dorby, Cann. These guns wero built for tho nrmy nnd navy respectively under contracts awarded at tho begin ning of tho war with Spain and will probably play an Important part In tho plan nnd scopo of national defense. Tho nrmy gun Is a slx-pounder of tho Drlggs typo nnd is mounted upon a parapet carriage, which admits of tho piece being fired with tho snmo rapid ity as upon a nnval mount, whllo It enn bo easily transported from placo to place. In fact, tho new weapon Is a combination of a field nnd const do fenso gun. Its use will be principally to protect tho torpedoes In tho har bors by throwing such an overwhelm ing shower of shot nnd shell that no small boat could live within Its zono of fire. Tho soml-nutomatlc gun Is also a slx-pounder nnd Is expected to work a revolution In rapld-firo guns, for, with It a speed of sixty shots per mln uo was nttained, which 1b twice tho record by the slx-pounder when worked by hand. Another Important feature Is thnt It reduces a crew of n slx-pounder from four to two men, ono of whom thrown fixed ammunition ns n person throws coal Into a furnace, whllo tho other fires ns the breech lock closes automatically.

Contract filtered Into by a Trust De clared Good. TRENTON, N. J., July 10. Tho Now Jersey court of errors nnd nppcnls, In n very sweeping opinion, reversed tho decision of VIco Chancellor Green of tho Trenton Potto-lea company vs. Richard Ollphnnt. et nl. Tho Trenton Potteries company In tho so-called sanitary waro trust formed n fcwycarB ago by tho purchase of five Bnnltnry pottcrleB In Trenton, Including the Ollphnnt. The potteries selling out entered Into a wrltton agreement .not to start again anywhere In the United States, except In Novnda and Arizona. The Ollphnnt started up ngnln, nnd tho vice chnncolor refused to restrain tho Ollphnnt, taking the ground that tho contract was In restraint of trndc. The court of errors todny said It Is not n question whether snnltnry waro Is a necessity of life, and nlso remnrked that tho contract did not tako out of business any largo proportion of thoso engaged In It. The significant part of tho opinion Ib thnt corporations In New Jersey have, under legislative acta, tho right to buy tho capital stock and busl nesB of other cornorntloiiB, anil that a contract such ns that mndo by Ollphnnt would bo necesanry to secure tho full benefit of such purchase.

Tho samo Issuo that contnlns this editorial contnlns In Its telegraphic columns bandit stories from Puerto Prlnclpo nnd Mnnznnlllo. Recently tho Havana Herald abused Its contemporaries genernlly for pub lishing bnndlt stories. On tho follow ing day It devoted an entlro column to a wild yam from Gunnnjay. As a matter of fact every paper In Hnvona hns objected to pitch publica tions on tho part of Its rivals, In most of these cases, when tho ovldenco la carefully sifted, It tuniB out that tho alleged brigandage la petty thlovcry, but thero Is no doubt that bandits do exist at Eovoral points, blinds of from ten to fifty men, who havo not tho pluck to go Into cltlca nnd hold up bnnks nnd railroad trains, but pre fer to nttnek Isolated stores, raid Bmall villages and bwoop down upon dlstnnt plantations.
