HU bitter and unwarranted warfare upon

This is likelv to ho done cither by Father

Is known that thu bureau of Catholic mis

that Morgan is bigoted , brutal and thor
oughly partisan in his treatment of the Cath
olics. It looks ns though the war will bo
bitter and that Morgan will get the worst
of it.

MiSNT.vi-oi.is , Minn. , July 13. Today
many of the Christian Endeavor delegates
were in the Twin City pulpits both morning
and afternoon , but n full session of the con
vention was held , the only recess being to
allow the delegates to go to church In the
morning. Before that time . " ,000 delegate )
were In their seats in the auditorium to hear
President William U. Harper of tlio Chicago
university give an Interesting bible study
with lllustrntons on "Nluovah's Full :
the Prophesy of Nahuam. " 'Iho short
session closed with a fifteen mliiiitu prayer
service , led by Kuv. B. B. Taylor of Now
York city ,
Ono ot the llno.it audience * ot the conven
tion gathered In Iho auditorium in the after
noon nt 3:110 : o'cloclr. Prof. LIndsoy led in
some irrand chorus singing. In thu absence
of President Clark , who was at St. Paul
with Drs , Deomi , Kondthel nud others con
ducting a special service for the Endeavors In
that city , Kov. II , C. Fnrrar , D.D. . pastor of
the First Methodist church of Albany , pro-
sided. "To every man his work , " was the
motto for the session , and the llr.st speaker
was Mr. A. A. Stngg , the famous pitcher of
Yale , and tit present , under engagement as
Instructor In physical training In the new
Chicago university. As Mr. Stngg
came to the platform ho received
an ovation from the delegates ,
, who have been specially anxious to see this
well Known Christian athlete. The young
man , Mr. Stngg declared , is nn object of in
terest and a most important factor in the
future development of our land. The Lord
Jesus Christ came as a young man mid His
example as a worker should constantly bo
before us. Young men have been prominent
In history for their effective efforts in all de
partments of useful activity. The speaker
closed with an earnest appeal to every younir
man in the audience to join in the glorious
opportunities for Christian usefulness which
open on every hand.
"By and by" was once moro sung with fine
offocl by Mr. Sankey , with choral responses
from different sections of the congregation.
The next speaker was Miss Margaret W.
Loitch , from the Jaflla mission , Ceylon ,
India , who spoke upon "Tho Young Woman
at Work. " She introduced her theme by de
scribing the condition of women in heathen
lands and then showed how small were the
contributions of the church to missions when
compared with the giving of the converted
heathen for the same purpose. She gave in
stances of benefit from missions. She ap
pealed strongly for more mission workers , be
lieving 30,000 missionaries were needed with
in five years if the heatho'i of this generation
were to hoar the gospel , and asking for $10-
000 from the Christian Endeavor to bo sent
through the various church mission boards.
Hov. A. A. Fulton of Canton , China , pro
posed to send President Clark on a trip
around the world to organize Endeavor mis
sions , and it was voted to take a nickel col
lection from the convention tonight to cover
the expense of such trip. However , a little
later Dr. Wayland Hoyt called attention to
the societiesVrulOr that there should bo no
paldpflleorsrpltho organization and sug
gested that instead of tho- proposed astion
tlioy .dach one decldevto give fi "cents moro to
tliei ? different mission boards , mid it was so
decided.
Previous to an address on "Tho Child nt
Work" ny Mrs. Alice May Scudder of Jer
sey City , -N. J. , the front seats wore vacated
by the adults , and between three and four
hundred junior Endeavors marched in and
took the seats while singing "Onward ,
Christian Soldier. " Mrs. Seudder thought
the difllculty with the young was misdirected
energy. Th6 junior Endeavor societies were
the developed Christian workers and they
were doing so. They were not to bo substi
tutes , but rather additional workers , and the
outlook was favorable to great development
of this part of the work. She dwelt or * the
various phases of the child Christian de
velopment work.
After u song by the congregation John G.
Woody of Boston delivered an address on
"Gospel Temperance. " By instances in his
own experience ho explained what ho meant
by the term. Ho said bo believed in gospel
temperance in the ballot box , and as ho said
it an IOWH delegate stopped to the front , wav
ing a banner , ono side of which read "Ues
Moincs , the largest city in the world
without a saloon , " and the other , "Iowa's
glory a school house on every hilltop and no
saloon In the valley , " while from floor to gal
lery n storm of applause swept over the im
mense gathering , continuing for a couple of
minutes. Ho closed by saying ho believed In
no temperance but gospel temperance.
It was stated from the platform that tho-
attendance of dolocutes was 1-1,000 , and the
session closed by singing the doxology.
The evening session began with a half
hour praise service , In which both uhom-i
and congregation joined. All the .stato and
provincials had grouped themselves around
their banners and nearly every ono of the
4,000 delegates seemed to bo present. When
the doors opened to the public at 7IiO
most of the 13,000 seats woto filled. When
President Clark rapped for order a quarter
of an hour later every seat was taken and the
people wore plnt-edmound both windows and
doorswhile several thousand others attended
another mooting In front of the exposition
building. With nil the crush there was per
fect order while W. II. London of St. Paul
read the scripture lesson and Hev. Dr. J. G.
Beckley of Philadelphia led In prayer. Hov.

sessions , submitted a supplement report "de-

The storm of applause that greeted this
made a vote almost unnecessary , but Presi

President Clark was re-elected'arid a long
list the sent of honorable visitors , the presi
dent of every province and several from some
of them , Each vice presidential choice was
endorsed with applause.
Genera ! Secretary Baor , who has been
confined to his room for two days , appeared
in the convention tonight.
President Clark In n little speech thanked
: lie convention for Its consideration and asked
that the good of the convention bo not dissi
pated , but continued until the societies
jrcatly multiply.
Hlshop N. Gilbert of Minneapolis of the
Protestant Episcopal church delivered an ad
dress on the needs , strength and growth of
the Endeavor movement , which ho thought
in indication of Iho rapidly approaching mil-
enium. Ho wanted the delegates to take
the convention enthusiasm homo with them.
Hov. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman of Phlladcl-

realise that the republican party Is their

WHAT TUB AIXIANCC WANTS.
At an alliance picnic on July 4 at.
Fayetto , la. , William F. Dlllor , of Lake City , ,
one of the district organizers of the farmers'
alliance , gave an explanation of the princi
ples of the Iowa farmers' alliance , that it was
strictly non-partisan and recommended its
members to use their Influence In the party
of their choice for the betterment of farmers.
llo'Bidd the loading issue In the coming state
legislature would boa revision of our revenue
laws. Also that congress would bo Hiked to.
pass an income tux , and a law taxing bonds ,
stocks and mortgages where they were
located , thoruuy enriching Iowa's treasury.
As many members of the alllnnco In that
part of the state ere favorable to the people's
party , a feeling of suspicion and mistrust
was qulto general , oven among farmers who
had never fully understood its principles.
The explanation given bv Mr. IMllcr will
entirely dlspoll that prejudice.
VACANT JUUUIiSIIll' .
There uro already several names mentioned
for the vacancy on the federal bunch caused
by the recent death of Judge J. M , Love.
Tlio active candidates nro understood to b
II. A. McCroary of ICcukuk , John S. Wool-
son of Ml. Pleasant , Charles A. lllsliop of
Dos Monies , J. W. McUllf of Creston , and
C. L. Poor of Hurllngton. The real contest , ,
however , Is said to bo between Woolson and
McDill. The former has boon a member of
the state senate fur the past six years , and is
regarded as ono of the strongest and bright
est young republicans In the stato.
[ Us elovatlor. to this important posi
tion would bo n fitting recognition of
legal merit and faithful party service , Judco
McDill is also a strong man , learned in Ju
dicial duties and his appointment would not
bo , i mistake. Ho Is , however , well along la
years , and could not bring the sumo * vigor to
near upon thu dutlna ot thu olllco as most of
his competitors. Mr. Woolson has also bcon
longer In the field and already has a strong
list of supporters who have been working
for him lor some months when It became
probnblo that.Iudgo Love would rotlro DO-
cnuso of the Ill-healtii which ended in his
death.
The appointment , however , will probably
llo dormant until President Harrison returns
to Washington frou , his summer vacation.
