THE TOTAL MEMBERSHIP IS NOW THREE MILLION?THE WIN? NERS. OF THE BANNERS. Snu Francisco. July 9.?The Interim tionii' Christinu Emleiivor convention be? gun here to-day. Sixteen .thousand dele? gates were present. President Clark, in his annual address, said in part: "You can readily perceive why this year 1 have chosen for the suo ject of my annual message the theme, 'A World-Encircling Religions Movement; How Shall It Fulfil Gods Desitin?' "At "the 'Invitation of friends Tuna In obedience t(j the call of God, an I believe, I have, during the last year been journey? ing in many lauds, among many ;peop'e who speak many tongues. Thete jour? neys hi behalf of Christian Endeavor have carried mo more than 40,000 'miles, to more than a score of peoples, who speak nearly as many languages. One factor I have found constant Jin all these lands; I have found Christian Endeavor princi? ples everywhere the same?the same pledue, the same consecraMon meetiutr, the same general liuf s o( elfort for the Master, called committee work: tho ut? most dlveislty in uuesseutial details: the utmost similarity of purpose in essential principles. .^"Societies that are as widely separated In miles and mauuer as the Bengalis, who live in the swamps of Gauges, and the Kaffirs on the uplands of Africa,from the Endeavorers of the ^Golden Gate and the Alameda, have subscribed to thu same'eoveuant pledge, aud, better still, are keeping It. '"i have attended conventions since last T met you iu the Metropolitan Tabernacle of London and in the Heels of Bengal; in St. Andrew's IIa'1 of Glasgow, and In the nncieut capital of the Punjab; among our Irish Endeavorers In Helfast, and on the sunburnt plains ot Southern India: in crowded Berlin, and on the lonely tablelands of the Transvaal; among the Alps of Switzerland, aud on the vast veldt ol tho Orange Free State; in sea? girt Stockholm, and in the karoo of South Africa; In lordly Paris, and in (Mtiet Wellington; iu the Cape of Good Hope, made sacred to many of you by the life aud labors of Andrew Murray antl his associates; aud everywhere, amid all these diversities of custom and cos? tume, of manners and methods, of lan? guage and laws, i have found that the Christian Endeavor ideals are substan? tially the same. "Moreover, the peoples whom I have seen have been of diverse creeds and views of religious truth. All, to be sure, have acknowledged the supremacy of Jesus Christ as thevfry Son of God and tho only Saviour of lost sinners: all have accepted tho Bible as the Word of God, ami the Holy Spirit as the sancMfler, comforter and uuide?in such soil only can Christian Endeavor Moorish." Mr. Clark then admonished the En? deavorers to lie faithful to their cardinal principles, "The World for Christ. The Nation for Christ. The Family for Christ. Mysel' for Christ." Secretary Baer said in his report: "Since last we met our organization has been swelled by 5,0C0 new societies. Re? joice with exceeding joy, for the world? wide enrollment is now 00,747 local socie? ties What a swift and mighty flood! In 1881, one society and fifty-seven mem hers. In ISO?, 50,780 societies and a to? tal membership of 3,000,000. "Of its larue tributary State ,and pro? vincial streams In this country that have over; 1,000 local societies Pennsylvania still leads with 3,433; New York, 3,04!?: Ohio, 2,383. Illinois has now passed to the fourth place, with 2,013; Ontario, 1.783; Indiana, 1,387; Iowa. 1,330, aud Michigan, with 1,071, for the first time is entitled to a place In this class. These figures do not include the junior socie? ties, with their boys and girls, the inter mediate societies witt their lads and las? sies, the senior and mother societies for the fathers and mothers and those who In years are no longer ^considered young. "The junior badge banner, given to the State that has made the largest gain in junior societies during the year, was first presented at Montreal to New York, and at the three annual conventions since that time Pennsylvania has proudly carried it away; but. this year nur good 'pig iron' friends must piss that bauner over to the 'buckeyes' of Ohio. "The other junior badge banner, first given to the District of Columbia at Mon? treal for the greatest proportionate in? crease in number of junior societies, and held successively by Delaware.Asainiboie and Mexico, must now pass from Mexico to Spain. A Christian Endeavor banner to travel from Mexico to Spain 1 Strange history we are writing!

United States Vessels Sent to Hon? olulu at Full Speed. San Francisco, July 9.? The United States cruiser Concord was to day ordered to proceed at once to Honolulu. The battleship Oregon also received crders to coal and go to Fort Angeles with all speed. It Is believed she also has orders to uo to Honolulu.

Dun's Review cf Trade tomorrow will say: The strike of the bituminous coal miners takes ,75,(100 or more men from work. It threatens to restrict the sup? ply ol fuel from some quarters though the miners of West Virginia and at some other points have refused to quit ?vork. These operators claim to be able to meet the demands of the Eastern States for some mouths. At the West the strike is not by any means unitedly sustained and the impression prevails that, the strike will be short lived. Toe tin plate works throughout the country have settled.the wate question and aM are agaiu'husy. A ?eneral settlement as to wages in the iron and steel industries is expected without much delay. Thf new orders in these lines are _small since the annual vacation began. Cotton mills have a steady increasing ] demand. Woolen mills are getting more orders. Heather was saved from a de? cline in prices, though quotations do not change. There is a ;great snrinkage In the demand for boots and slices. Each week raises the estimate ot the wheat crop, which promises to be im? mense, and if the weather ; continues favorable it will be an important factor for future business. 'Ohe prospects Cor a big corn crop are good. The failures for the week were '.200, against '~l? for the same week last year. A CUBAN RUMOR. The Impression Prevails That Weyler Has Resigned. Key West, July I).?Humors are rife here that some important jnove is pend? ing in Cuba. One of the ;unta leaders here received a private message last night 'mplying that something very important had transpired and in which reference was made to Weyler's resignation. The message, which was [ in cipher, was all mixed.-.un and could not the deciphered, but from its tenor it is conjectured that Weyler either resigned or his resignation would go in at once on account of the ! failure of his western campaign. It created much excienient here.' GLOBETROTTING WITHOUT MONEY A New York Man Earns$51,000 While En? circling the Earth. New York, July !?.?Eighteen months ago to-day Frank Burton left [the '.city hall on a trip around the world. He be? gan the journey as the result of a wager made by two prominent sporting men in this city. One, who was an admirer of Burton, declared that he could go around the world, starting without a cent in bis pocket, and make the trip without beg ttinir, borrowing, or" stealing a dollar. Each of these two men staked $0,000 on the trip. This afternoon Burton walked into the mayor's orliee, his journey completed. I He conies to New York with $3,000 earned I on the trip, and to night will receive I $3,500 of the mmuy wagered on the trip. Burton says he was ill with typhoid ; fever for fourteen weeks in Shanghai,and that he was wrecked on the steame-jAngie Maud in the Indian Ocean. The steamer ran upon a reef and wa? a total loss.

RDAY, J?L.Y lO, 1 GAINING IN STRENGTH. The Striking Miners Elated With the Outlook. RANKS BEING SWELLED DAILY. 1HE IRONCLAD WORKMEN FOR? FEIT $8,001) IN WAGES FOR LOY? ALTY TO THEIR URETHREN. UNITED STATES DEPUTY MAR? SHALS ON DUTY AT DILLON VALE?NO LAWLESSNESS YET. Pittsburg, July 0.?Tho close of the third day of the mluers' strike finds the diggers Raining strength rapidly in the Pittsburg district, elating the ollicials and men correspondingly. The net result of the struggle up to date, as gleaned from unbiased as well as from partisau sources, is about as follows Nineteen thousand men idle, an almost total suspension of work in the mines alone the Monougahela river; suspension practically ftal on the Wheeling divi? sion of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, only about fifty men working tberc;all ot the railroad mines closetl down, with the exception of ttie M. A. Hnnua ?.V- Co. mines along the Panhandle, tho New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company, and a few individual mines, which can have but little effect on tho ^situation. The coming out of the ih?n along the Baltimore and Ohio is [n decided victory for the miners, because these men were working tinder an ironclad agreement, and by their loyalty to their brethren forfeit $8,000 in wages which the com? pany holds out. The situation as to the supply of coal cannot be called serious as vet, because there are from 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 of ! bushels of the black diamonds in stock at the various pools along the river which can be placed in this city at short notice, and, if need be, a portion uf It could be shipped to the lakes. Up to the preseut time no sitrns of unlawfulness has developed among the strikers, and no evidence whatever that there will be. United States deputy marshals are at Dillonvale, W. Ya., where tho railroads will attempt to put the men who were forced out of the mines Wednesday back to work to-morrow. To-night Antonio Dominicko was arrested at Dillonvale, at the instiiratiou of United Status author? ities, on the charge of bringing iu a car load of teer for the purpose, they cUim, of Inciting on the strikers to violence through drink. The situation on the Wheeling and Luke Erie is undoubtedly serious. More trouble is apprehended from tho passing through of West Virginia coal than from the partial operation of one or two mines through protection given by the United States marshals. Miners in the Fair mount region of West Virginia have noti lied tho operators that they will not strik<>. Those iu the Georges Creek re? gion are ivorking steadily. Chicago, .Tuly i).?Railroad companies today issued orders to confiscate all coal being carried over their lines. The order carried confusion in ".its execution, and local coal companies who expected to receive special shipments to meet the de? mand of the day were thrown on their re? sources to overcome the difficulty. Fully l?.OOO carloads from the mines j in Southern Illinois were confiscated by the railroad companies. The seizure is because of a recent supreme court opin? ion wh'ch says that in case of strikes the railroad companies have t.be right to confiscate any coal on its property re? gardless of the consignee. FOR WANT OF WORK. Husband and Wife Kill Their Baby and Attempt Suicide. Cincinnati, duly 5).?This morning the bodies of a man and woman, apparently dying, were found lying side by side on a raft of logs moored to the shore near the village of California, a few miles above Cincinnati.

Austria-Hungary Now Threatens the Porte. A SENSATIONAL REPORT FROM PARIS?FRENCH [MINISTER OF MARINE SAID TO HAVE IN? STRUCTED THE ADMIRAL * IN COMMAND TO MOBILIZE : HIS FLEET WITH THE VIEW OF MAKING A DEMONSTRATION. London, July 9.?Eastern affairs show bvit little change during tho last twenty four hours. A sensational newspaper iu Paris published a rumor to day that M. Hanotnux, minister of foreign alT.iirs, had informed the cabinet that matters in the east were fery serious, and that Ad? miral Besnnrd, the minister of marine, had iustrticted the atlmiriil in command of the Mediterranean Hect to mobolize his forces with a view of making a naval demonstration in tho Bosphorus, but this is regarded as unueccssarily alarmist. More to the purpose is the fact that Austria-Hungary has presented a note to the Porte declaring that unless the Turk? ish government appoints a day for tho Turkish military commission to discuss with the Kuropean attaches the strategic frontier proposed \hy Europe the AtnlKis sadors will request .their respective gov? ernments to atlopt energetic measures. According to the best information ob? tainable this strategic frontier would give Turkey about 200 square kilometres of territory in the district of Metzova ' and some villages in theTyrnavos district. The indemnity would be 4,300,000 pounds Turkish, 1 .?l?0,0DO pounds to be paid on the departure of the Turks from Thes saly and an equal amount iu the cottrso of n year,a Franco-English company rais? ing the money by farming the Greek cus? toms. These concessions are made with a view of enabling the sultan to overcome the objections of the war party. It is the general belief that the negotiations I are likely to continue until the end of the year, when winter will compel Turkey to withdiaw her troops from Thessuly. Just now, while the weather is good and food abundant, it is comparatively easy to keep them there. An imperial 'order bas been issued to the commaudaut of the Dardanelles to- prepare for the sailiug of the Turkish ueet under sealed orders. Vienna, July 9 ?Tho scmlofliclal Fremdeublatt to-day' warns Turkey that the harmony of the powers is not im? paired und that the policy of the Turkish government is doomed to failure If It counts upon a dit-agreement. The Frem? denblatt adds: "Russia nndF tnnce,like other'powers, have agreed that the [negotiations must be brought to a close, and the Porte will become convinced that its attempts to deduce extreme consr<|nonces from tho Turkish victories are vain and must fail before the firm will of Europe."
