The bum o ( sunshlno yesterday morning brought Joy to the hearts of the ctmutau- qunns , notonly tliojo who nro Itvng on the grounds and realizing nil the phnsoj of a summer's outing , but to tbo multitudes of others who hnvo been kept away by the steady down pour of rain. The r.'sult was that the attendance yesterday was much larger than on any previous day. The programme in the morning was very Interesting , particularly the lecture of Dr. Vincent on the life , charaotor and works of America's grcaloit poet , Henry Wards worth Longfellow , which was given nt II o'clock and occupying the tlmo of the Cnauta uqua until noon. In the afternoon the nttendanco wns much larger , and the immense nmphithcater was comfortably lilted at 2 o'clock , when Prof. BI ron King , who has charge of the elocution classes , revealed anew the many beauties of Shakespeare hidden from common eyes in the portr.iyal of the sconoi connected with the murder and ourlal of Cicsar. The event of the afternoon , however , was too lecture of Lydla Von Flnklcstein under the somewhat broad caption , "KccoIIomo , or from Bethlehem to Calvary. " The lecture cairied the audlouco by storm. It was n portrayal In the most vivid nnd realistic manner of tbo llfo and customs of tbo com mon people In thu tlmo of Christ , nnd their habits and customs today , for , the lecturer explained , the passing of the centuries have wrought no changes in the manners nnd habits of the people In the agricultural and pastoral dis tricts of Palestine. The la ly was born and partially roared amid the scenes she portrayed trayed , and she drew her pictures with such striking Vividness that it required llttlo aid from the imagination to convince the nndl- encu that they wore gazing at little bits of scenery , and into the homos of the people to whom Christ preached. The lady was at tired In the native costume of a rich farmer's wife , and by the costumes of her assistants shu gave a Mriklng idea of hmv the other classes look and livu. The object of her les son was to show that the blblu is a living book , and that many of thu parables nnd expressions in the now testa ment were taken from customs and habits that uro unchanged today. Her lecture was a masterpiece of word painting , and tbo bright bits of real life introduced ucro brilliant and effective Illustrations , appealing with the same simple and convincing force to the minds of the common laborer and the nstuto theologian. There was not a second when the attention of all was not enchained and the hour passed too swiftly oven for the dullest. The lecture concluded the lady's engagement with the Chautauqua managers for the present year , and tbero w.is Intense roKrot when she made her salaams and bade adieu to thu audience in the effusive and de monstrative manner of the cast. The grounds were delightfully pleasant In the ovcning , and a fair sized audience en joyed the evening programme. The princi pal events were the Swedish mala quartette's concert at 710 : ! nnd Jatnus A. Green's lecture , "Thu People of London , " illustrated with fine stercoptiuon views.

The party sent out by the Southern Pacific from Ogllvio last , week to find the source of ttie Salton Inko have reported. They traced tbo water from the Colorado river , eight miles above Elrio , to Mocho , whoru it enters the Satton basin , n distance of llfty-two miles.

The main crevasse fur nishing the largo amount of water from the Colorado river , from Carter's account , will require piling to close , but Engineer Swain is of the opinion that the necessary work to bo done In shutting out the water will not bo difllcult or expensive and that the water c.innot encroach on the railroad linos.

VICTORY FOR Tilt ALTON , .1 iin Meeting of the Paisengor Association Oon- olnded Without D.-fittftS Action , BACKBONE OF THE BOYCOTT BROKEN. < ; > Pros elc it Rxa-iS Cino"j ! fny Not Oej to tlio ilury Qtinslous ( nt Is sue Nnrrowcil Jo a Technicality. Ciitcvoo , July 8. The Western Passenger association closed its monthly mcotlnir today without touching upon the questions that have arisen on account of the difference * ba- twojn Chairman Flnloy and the Alton. A .special meeting of the manager. ) lias boon called for next Saturday morning to consider this matter , and If possible to bring about n settlement of the dlfllculty. It is understood that the financial backers of the western roads civo power to the western managers to call Chairman Flnloy down and to rcsuruo peaceful relations with the Alton nt onco. This indicates that the end of the light U nt hand and that the result will bo a victory for the Alton. Any oMior outcome would mean n demorali zation of rates throughout the western terri tory and that is tno ono thing that the owners of .ho roads are most anxious to nvold. But n still moro important result would bo un doubtedly produced by such n concession. It would bo equivalent to an enlistment of nil tlio eastern roads on thu sldu of tlio Alton In Its freight with the eastern lines and could scarcely fail to break the b ickbonu of the boycott ami once moro defeat the movement " to "abolish tbo payment of passenger coit- missions. At n mooting of the association today it was found convenient to postpone action on many important questions because of the uncer tainty existing as to tbo Alton's , position. Such was the fate of the proposed uniform contract on mlloago tickets , thu report of the committee looking to a tnodilic.uion of the present rules in regard let certificate excur sion business , the question of adopting har vest excursion rates and ttio propo-dtion to make special rates , for state and intt-rstatJ fairs , expositions , etc. Action on these mat ters wcru defered until the- next regular meeting. COAL KATES MAXIITIATnil. Western roads nro much exercised over their loss of the hard coal tnilllo from eastern mines , which scams to have been nlmost completely monopolized by the Missouri Pacific. During tbo two months from Mny 1 to Juno : so tlio shipments of coal from tiio east to Oniatin nnd beyond aggregated Ki'J curs , of which 451 cars wont over the Mis souri Pacific rood , leaving ; eight for the other lines. During the same period the Missouri Pa cific got thirty-eight of the forty cars deb- lined to southwestern poiuts. "This coil came from the Lackawatma mines , in which Jay Gould Is interested , and the competitors of the Missouri Pacific have no doubt that ho Is throwing the business to bis own road by an ntlvnntngoout manipulation of rates. A complaint is to bo made to the board of commissioners of the Western" TrnQlo asso ciation. 1'reslelciit 10/jan's / Case. ST. PAUI , Minn. , July S. The trial of John M. Egan , president and gcuoral manager of the Chicago , St. Paul and 'Kansas City r.nl- road , for alleged violation of the iniorstuto commerce law , came up before Judge Nelson of St. Paul , and JudgeT'layor ' of St. Louis , in the United States circuit court. Too specific chnrgo Is tnat Charles II. Holdrogo , general passenger agent of the Kansas Citv , sold to Cnarlos H. Pelsch , an agent of the Omaha line , 5,003 unlimited tickets to Chicago cage at $7 each , which is $ do under the regu lar Chlcago-St. Paul rate. It is reported hero that ttio Kansas City will admit the sale of the 5,000 tickets , but will attempt to escape on a technicality. In the afternoon Auditor Healoy of the Kansas City road was called to the stand. He had received $35,000 for 5,000 tickets sold by tbo road to Mr. Putsch. Charles H. Potsch was called to tbo stand , nnd testified that he hnd a transaction with Egan and Holdrego In winch ho bought 5,000 tickets , pnyiiKr WTj.OOO. At the time there was n rate wnr , nnd tbo rate was $7. I asked Mr. Holdrego If I could buy the tick ets and make them unlimited , nnd bo said no , ho would sell mo all tbo tickets I wanted at 37. 1 bou'gbt the tickets stamped nnd mi- punched. They were to bo first-class In all rojpects with no limitations. Nothing else was said about it at the tlmo. General Pas senger Agent W. J. C. Kenyan of the Bur lington & Northern was called to explain tbo distinction between limited and unlimited tlcuets. The government having rested the case with Kenyon's testimony the defense moved to dismiss the case , there being no proof of the charges , but the motion was over ruled. The defense called Mr. Donald of the Cen tral Trafllc association , .1. J. Byrne of the Atchison and W. H. Buscnbark , formerly gen eral passenger nnd ticket agent of the Kan sas City road , all of whom wuro questioned on thosamesubject the distinctions between limited and unlimited tickets. At 4 o'clock the jury was dismissed until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and after discus sion in which Judge Thayer said the case re solved itself Into who1 hpr or not tbo tickets sold wcro unlimited.
