ents, the reading of a cablegram from
mi. Andrew u. white, president 01
be American peace commissioners at
The Hague, bringing out storms of ap
plause. President's Clark cablegram
to President White was as follows.
"Twenty-eight thousand American
and Canadian Christian Endeavorers
bow assembled in International con-
tousiastlc for peace and arbitration.
Great peace meeting held. All wish
Messages were also sent to President
McKlnley, Governor General Mlnto of
Canada and Queen Victoria. President
White responded as follows:
'American commission to the peace
conference sends sincere thanks for
message and congratulates you and all
friends of peace upon the great success
achieved providing for a permanent
tribunal of arbitration."
Mayor Drummond, private secretary
to the governor general of Canada,
sent the following:
"His excellency, the governor gen
eral, desires me to express his warm
est and most sincere thanks for your
very kind and cordial message of good
will to himself and the Dominion of
Canada."
At all previous meetings the audi
ences assembled quietly, but last even
ing for some time before the calling
to order of the two great gatherings.
Tents Endeavor and Willlston were
labels of sounds and scenes. The
state, provincial and foreign delega
tions were grouped in designated
Lunches divided about equally between
the two tents. Each had Its own par
ticular rally cry, and each delegation
took pleasure in making It known to
the extent of its lung power. The
delegations which were not shouting
were singing. Music Conductor Fos
ter finally made himself heard without
the aid of a megaphone, and all the
voices were turned Into the Inspiring
volumes of "Holy, Holy, Lord God Al
mighty," with much Improved effect.
The following statements as to at
tendance, etc., was given out by Sec
retary Baer:
Without doubt the attendance at
this convention has very much exceed
ed that of any other Christian En
deavor convention ever held In the
matter of those present at the various
meetings. This estimate takes into ac
count the great convention at Boston
In 1896. That is to say, that out of the
28,000 Endeavorers registered, which la
the estimate of the reception
committee, and Includes Detroit mem
bers, there have been more who
attended meetings than at any previous
times. The estimate of attendance at
meetings gives a total of 298,500. There
were 28.000 Endeavorers ln attendance,
including Detroit delegates, and 30,
600 persons simultaneously attended
strictly Christian Endeavor meetings.
These figures do not Include the 66
non-evangelistic meetings, which had
a total attendance of 15,000, and 100
professed conversions.
During a recess each member of the
'99 committee was called out. They
were told that the '99 convention had
never been equalled as to program,
presence of good speakers and large at
tendance at meetings. Secretary Baer
stated that although the attendance at
Detroit was 28,000, as against 56,400 at
Boston, the meetings ln Detroit were
attended by large numbers than were
those at Boston.
Chairman W. H. Strong, of the local
committee, responded appropriately to
the compliments tendered before the
two mighty audiences, and attributed
the successes of the convention chiefly
to Individual faithfulness. The score
of white capped chairmen of local com
mittees, standing together, then sung
a stanza of "If Ever I Loved Thee, My
Jesus, Tls Now."
Great Britain's leading representa
tives, Messrs. Tressidder and Mursell,
of London, and Pollock, of Glasgow,
stood together and sang "Britain For
Christ." Then all sang stanzas of "God
Save the Queen" and "America."
Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman preached the
concluding sermon ln Tent Endeavor,
ind the closing address In Tent Willis
ton was made by Bishop John H. Vin
cent, of the Methodist church.

Paris, July 11. The Prince of Mo

Count Bon! de Castellane on account
of the Dreyfus case. In his reply to
Castellane's challenge the Prince of
