The headquarters of the committee at the Pavilion was silent as the grave for the greater part of yesterday. During the afternoon the silence was agreeably broken by Organist Skeele, who spent two hours in practice on the magnificent Stan- ford organ. Professor Skeele tested the instrument in every way known to the ex- pert, and at the conclusion of operations pronounced it perfect. The demand for seats for the organ con- cert, which takes place to-morrow even- ing, is enormous.

THE thousands of Epworth League delegates now In the city in ad- vance of the main army, which is due to arrive in the city to-mor- row, observed the Sabbath yester- day In a manner befitting the tenets of the noble organization to which they have sworn allegiance, by attending divine services In the various local Methodist Episcopal churches. It ¦was a day of recreation for the hard- worked members of the various sub-com- mittees, and with a few exceptions the assistants of the general committee rested from their labors to gather strength for the arduous trials which will confront them from now until the close of the con- vention. Two trains arrived from the East yes- terday, one Just before noon and the other last evening. Both were crowded ¦with Leaguers, and all were greeted by the Berkeley section of the Oakland re- ception committee at Sixteenth street and escorted to this city. Itis estimated that nearly 200 Leaguers were in the party to arrive yesterday. Owing to the fact that the members of the entertainment com- mittee were not on duty, the visitors were directed to the various hotels, where they Trill remain until other provisions their comfort or convenience can be ar- ranged for. As foretold by The Call yesterday, the arrivals were very light. The report was current that a dozen trains were to ar- rive, and the result was that hundreds of people gathered at the ferry in ex- pectation of meeting friends. The failure of the latter to materialize proved a tore disappointment to many. On "Watc3x at the Ferry.

In order to handle J| them the Southern Pacific Cora- "^^ pany has moved Its river steam- ers and freight ferry boats to Washington-street wharf and the pier for- merly used by those vessels has been turned into a receiving shed for trafJcg only. All the small baggage and parcels are handled in the ferry building nnd everything is systematized so that th^re willbe no trouble nor confusion when the rush comes. The railroad company Is using two re- lays of baggage handlers. One gang «oej on at 7 a. m. and works to 7 p. m.. wlieii the njght gang goes on and holds the fort until breakfast time. The night men nave a little the best of it, as the last boat gota in about 12:30 a. m- and after that they have a comaaratlvely ea3y time of it. In the trunk shed more than a thousand packages are/ already piled up awaitlnz owners. They are segregated In alpha- betical orde^r, but in no one d4yia.ion is there m.orp than 100 trunks. " \ > The structure in which, the trunks are stored is lighted with more t}ian 200 in- candescent lights and at night, when the men are at work the place is illuminated like a fairy palace. Monday and Tuesday nights the bag- gage handlers expect a hot time of it and all of them are saving up their strength for the occasion. ¦ ; seats will be resumed with limitations to- day, however. Thousands of the Incoming 1 Leaguers have expressed their earnest desire to attend the concert, and the com- mittee has decided to make suitable provi- sions toward that end. There w}H be a rehearsal of the chorus at the Pavilion this evening. Chairman Husband of the music committee an- nounces that none but the members of the chorus will be admitted. This may be a source of inconvenience to the ladies, who have heretofore attended the rehearsal3 with escorts, but the executive order in necessary, says- Mr. Husband, In ordaC that the best results may be attained. Tha final rehearsal of the chorus takes placs to-morrow afternoon. President Will Press Button- it is now definitely known that President MeKjr-ley will not only press the electric button by which the great Stanford orgran will peal forth its silver notes to herald the opening of the Epworth League con- vention Tuesday evening, but that he wili send a characteristic greeting to the con- vention, which will be read to the gathered Leaguers amid the warm applause of thousands of visitors from all parts of the United States.

OFFICIAL PROGRAMME OF THE EPWORTH LEAGUE CONVENTION.

Miss M. E. Vaughn, Miss Clara Walton; MissMinnie "Walton and A. L. Walker.

The headquarters of the committee at

the Pavilion was silent as the grave forthe greater part of yesterday. • During theafternoon the silence was agreeably

broken by Organist Skeele, who spent twohours in practice on the magnificent Stan-ford organ. Professor Skeele tested the

instrument in every way known to the ex-pert, and at the conclusion of operationspronounced it perfect.

The demand for seats for the organ con-cert, which takes place to-morrow even-ing, is enormous. The sale of .reserved

| SOME HEMBER5 OF THE LOCAL EPWORTH LEAGUE COMMITTEES WHO ARE BUSY PEOPLE AT PRESENT.

THEthousands of Epworth League

delegates now In the city in ad-vance of the main army, which isdue to arrive in the city to-mor-row, observed the Sabbath yester-day In a manner befitting thetenets of the noble organization

to which they have sworn allegiance, byattending divine services In the variouslocal Methodist Episcopal churches. It¦was a day of recreation for the hard-worked members of the various sub-com-mittees, and with a few exceptions theassistants of the general committee restedfrom their labors to gather strength forthe arduous trials which will confrontthem from now until the close of the con-vention.

Two trains arrived from the East yes-terday, one Just before noon and theother last evening. Both were crowded¦with Leaguers, and all were greeted bythe Berkeley section of the Oakland re-ception committee at Sixteenth street andescorted to this city. Itis estimated thatnearly 200 Leaguers were in the party toarrive yesterday. Owing to the fact thatthe members of the entertainment com-mittee were not on duty, the visitors weredirected to the various hotels, where theyTrill remain until other provisionstheir comfort or convenience can be ar-ranged for.

As foretold by The Call yesterday, thearrivals were very light. The report wascurrent that a dozen trains were to ar-rive, and the result was that hundredsof people gathered at the ferry in ex-pectation of meeting friends. The failureof the latter to materialize proved a toredisappointment to many.

On "Watc3x at the Ferry.The members of the reception committee

¦who were on duty at the ferry yesterdaywere the following named:
