Thcro are reports hero of n strong move
ment to make Secretary Whitney the demo
cratic candidate for govcinorof New York ,
In order to strengthen the presidential ticket
In that state. It In conceded that Senator
Wnrncr Miller will bo the republican cnndi *
date , and that the campaign will 1)0 fiercer
than it over has been. Governor Hill Is not
believed bv the administration to bo ns
strong bcforo the people of New York as
Secretary Whitney would bo. It Is stated
that Mr. Whltnoy would bo very glad to
mnko the race , i'nd that his nunouncamcnt
several days ago that ho would lotlro from
the cabinet was made nt a tlmo when ho
thought his nomination for the governorship
wns probable , nnd ho intended it to pave the
way for his retirement from the cabinet and
His entry Into the politics of his own state in
n inoro positive manner thnn ho has been en
gaging in It during the past three
jcnrs. Friends of the ptcsulcnt say
that If It were not for the
fact Hint Governor Hill Is consldoicd very
strong with the saloon nnd whisky elements
in New York , the administration would pit
Whitney ugainsjL him for the nomination and
conduct the campaign independent of the
Hill hosts.

Today's New Yoik Tiihuiie has u lengthv
interview with Heprcsenttve Monow of Cal-

timengo , Mr. Mouow , in the curly part of
this spiing , when Goneiul Hairiion was Hist
spoken of for the picsidcutial nomination , nt
the rcijucst of his filends in California ,

over the congiessioniil iccords ami Journals
IB" of the senate committee on foicign lelntions ,
nnd in this interview lie gives in detail overv
nctlon of Gcncial Hiiriison on tlio Chinese
question , both while the various mcnsuics
that were proposed when ho was in the sen
ate committee , nnd while they
were before the senate for con
sideration. The iccord proves
to bo ono which prompts the Tubune in an
nouncing that it gives him more Hticngth be
fore the cojntry than if he never had any
thing to do with the subject at all , becausa
. it shows that ho is a caiolul thinker , a sound
reasouer and is an ardent and consistent
liicnd of the American luboior and is op
posed to the impoi tation of Chinese labor.

eidcrod the most oxticmo anti-Chinese

At 2 i ) . m. icstcrdny the pavilion was Idled
with people who desired to hear the readings
of Pi of U. Lo Cumnock , of the Not thwcstci n
univcisity of Illinois. Prof. Cumnock is said
to have no supsnor as n reader in this coun

Colonel Cow den's class met at this same
hour in the normal Hall. The subject of the
session was "Tho C mons of Scripture , " and
the hour was spent in classifying the hooks
of tlio Old Testament , and nssigning them to
their icspectlvo ponods. The advanced nor
mal also met at 4 o'clock. This class is
studying the books of the Bible They Have
now completed the Old Testament and taken
up the New. The lesson ycsteidav ufteinoon
was "The Early Yeais of Chust. "
An examination of the assembly register
shows that onlyu small number of these who
como upon the grounds take the trouble to
comply with the request of the management
and icgister tlieii names. The scciotary's
register contains onli about fifteen thousand
These fifteen thousand people icprcseiit fif

about one hundred and fifty n imes and two
additional states Michigan and California.
This makes in all sixteen states
one ton Itory and ono district icpiescntcd at
tlio seventh session of the Nebraska assem
lily. Dr. Huilbjt. socictary of the C. L. S-
C , arrived iestci day morning. At 5 o'clock
all membcis of the C. L. S. C. met at the
hall in the giovo to Hear him talk upon the
subjects of inteiest to the circle. Ho was
given a heaity gieetmg , and expressed Him
self as greatly pleased with the signs of
grow tli and prosperity visible In every do-
pal tmcnt ol the Nobinska assembly. Ho
then gave a biiof histori of the Chuutauquu
oigani/ation of this country. It begun in
lb t > , and had about tlirco hundred chat tcr
mcmhcis It Is now ten years old and has
a mcmboiHhip of 70,00) ) , besides some foity
thousand who Have cither finished the course
01 given it up. The societ.v in founded upon
thico gicat principles ; Fast , overibody
needs culture und evcrybojy should huvo it.
Thcie nio many who think that the advan
tages of education uro for but the few ; that
the masses nro better off without It , us it
onlj makes them dissatisfied with their lot.
Against this Idea the C. L S. C. is ar-
ruied. It believes thnt both the rich and
the poor should bo cultuied , The rich need
culture that thoi may know how to use the
money they have accumulated , and how to
get the best out of life. The poor need cul-
tuio because it will lift them up , will make
them better and happier and make their
w 01 Id hugcr and brighter. Ono who loves
good books need never bo lonely or without
something of worth to think about , no mat
ter how huniblo nud retired his lot in lifo
tiia.v ue The books thnt a pci son reads w ill
genuiallv show what kind of a person Ho is.
Hi Hutlbut then plctuiod the daily rounds
of souio of the luboiiug classes , especially of
fin mem' wives. Uho nvcr.igo woman who
docs her own Housework may look back
through all the duis of foity icars of Her
life and every Monday of these all was a
washday. The drudging monotony in the
lives t' ' t many working people live is
enough to drive -them ciazy. Good books
vv ill provu tliu best antmOte ln- the w orld for
such toilsome monotony.
'Iho second piinciplo on which the C. L.
S. il. i& founded Is that even body can hav o
culluio. In this country , and especially in
the west , cdjuition is to chcip and oppor
tunities nro so many , almost e\ cry } oung
man can go to college ; and these who cannot
gotocollejicuuii iolu thoC. L. S C. , which
will fin null jrany advantages. Very few
realize the an ount that can bo done by the
devotion of un I our a dai to the purpose of
cultura
The third principle of the C. L. S. C. is
that cuituio should fiibt Ioncral , ana then
special By tbo tlmo pne has gone through
the general course ho will bo apt to Have
found some ono thing that he desires to mnko
special. Ho who begins rcullng will gener
ally end by studying. Of the23,0X ( ) who Have
finished the C. L. S C. couise very few Have
stopped reading ami stmlimg. Finally , the
U. L S C. believes tint our cuituio should
bo under Christian auspices Christianity is
nothing unless It makes ono wiser , broader ,
nun o generous nnd gentle.
In closing Dr. Hurlbut expressed His great
plcasuioin seeing so many nt this assembly
engaged In Chautnuqua work , and to
know thnt on Kccognltlon day fifty-
four will present themselves for-
graduation. Ho was pleased to s ly that this
was the largest class that his yet graduated
at nni western assembly.
Mrs. Mary South rope , of Michigan , lec
tured in the pavilion nt 8 o'clock last even
ing. Bofo'otho lecture began President F.
I. Foss mndu a stntojtcnt of the financial
standing of the nssoniblj. Ho also said that
the growth of the assembly seemed to the
management to demand addition tl build
ings. The attendance Has almost doubled
that of last v car , and the moiioy that bus
thus far come in is nearly twice ns much
as eiimo in dining tlia sumo tlmo last icar ,
Tlio tuistees would like to erect dining the
coming icnr a Hotel costing $10 OOJ , nud a
$ ( ! O')0 ) pav ilinn like the ono at the Now Yoik
Chautnuqua It Is thought best to procure
the money for those buildings by a fuithor
sale of stock Some of the stockholders nro
not wilting that stock continue to bo sold at
par , but tno m ijorlty are willing that for the
picscnt the prlco leman $10 per share.
Stock can be bought nt nny time by applying
to the president , secretary or superintendent
of giounds. Many desirable lots are yet for
sale , and can bo also had hi applying to the
above parties.
After this announcement and a solo by
Miss Hambliu , Mis. Lathrop wns Intro
duced and began her lectuto. No particular
subject wns announced , but the general
theme of the nddrcss was a discussion of the
causes which hail brought the tempcranco
question Into the province of government for
settlement. The main reason was found in
the fact that other menus have been proven
wholly inadequate to meet tlio demands of
the ciso. Mrs. Litluop then gavon brief
review of the agencies that have thus far
been emploicd. The church has long been
more or less active la the temperance move
ment , but has accomplished comparatively
little because of divisions about petty sect
and denominational questions. The Washingtonian -
ingtonian movement and the crusades both
did n good woik , hut both Have had their
day. Other menus have been tried , but nil
have fallen short of ultimate triumph. Mrs.
Lathrop maintained that the tempcranco
question Has not suffered any loss by
coming into the realm of political discussion.
In conclusion Mrs. Lathrop said : "Tho
saloon is entrenched like Gibraltar in the
wrong attitude of the government , but I believe -
liovo the child Is bout that will sco the
closed door of the lastBaloon In our country. "
Mrs Lathrop has been called the most
logical of all the speakers on the temperance
question. She certainly is both eloquent

LOMIOV , July 3. | Now York Herald
Cable Special Telegram to Tin : Urn : ] A
greater contrast can hardly bo conceived f
than between the service in Westminster
Abbey last night , with all the pomp nnd cir
cumstances of the place , the music nnd
crowds inside and outside , and to day the
quiet celebration of the holy communion In
the chapel of Lambeth palace , n building
little known , oven to Londoners. It is of
especial interest from Its associations to
bishops , for In it all in milto comparatively
modern daj s the ui ijorlty of Anglican pre
lates , whether homo or colonial , were consecrated
crated to the hi h oftlco , nnd hero the ilrst
Amelia in bishop was consecrated.
The bishops began to arrive about
half past 10 , and cannot bo accused
of coming In state. Thcio wcio only
thrco or four can luges , the majority favorIng -
Ing hansom cabs , while a largo number
walked ticross Westminister bridge , Bishop
Potter coming in what Is sluuglly called hero
a "growler , " with no signs of publlo ex
citement. The third Lamboth confcienco
was opened , and nearly all the bishops who
have accented invitations were present.
They robed , in the guard room.
The Junior colonial prelates walked
llrst in the procession. The tall
and commanding foim of the archbishop of
York towered above his biothren , but it is
noteworthy how many moio intellectual
pi elates Durham , Gloucester , Bristol , Hipon
were small of stature , and the plclato is
not tall. The Amciican bishops walked by
the side of the homo prelates and In the rest
of the procession , preceded by Sir John
Dcanc , the vicar general , Sir John
Hassard the principal rctristcror
General and Sir John Hanham , the nppaiuor
general , c line the Archbishop of Canterbury ,
having on his sides the Archbishop of York
and the Bishop of London , ana followed by
the Dean of Windsor and his other chap
lains. The scene in the cliapcl was unique ,
tlioio being nearly ono hundred nnd llfty
bishops present from nil parts of the world ,
exercising their functions when nt homo
under iv variety of most dissimilar cncutn-
stances.
The "Vcni Creator" was the introit and
the Archbishopof Canteiburi was , of course
the cclobiant. After serv ice the nichbishop
cntci taincd his Hpisiscopil bi cthcrn at lunch-
con and the Hist session commenced nt half
past" with nothing occui ling to day of mo
ment.
The pan- Anglican conference has a rival in
the pan-Prcsbi tenon council , whoso pioceed-
liigs began in Exeter hall to-day und to which
some three hundred representatives have
been delegated from all p irts of the world.
An opening soimon nnd a garden party at
