They Object to Reduction of
Blood Money.

Not content with squeezing the sailors
that fall into their hands, the sailor board
ing-masters are now turning their attention
to their runners, and yesterday issued no.
tlce that in the future the runners would
have to content themselves with $40 out of
the blood money received from each sailor
shipped, instead of S15, that they had re-
ceived heretofore.
Tnis was Knockout blow to the run
ners, and they ut once determined to stand
up for their rights. Accordingly meeting
was held yesterday aud it was decided to go
on strike. 1t was also agreed that all men
brought ashore from ships should DO taken
to scab boarding-houses. BY these means
the runners hope to bring the boarding
house monopoly to their senses.

The general seemed little tickled at the
way of settling things and had this query
put to him."
Are you satisfied with the success YOU
have achieved in America"
1--WE have had great prejudice to fight

The speaker was General William Booth

that lead other kind of armies, he was not

TO General Booth. He was their idol, and
they could pronounce no eulogy on him that
was compatible with their deep feeling for
him.

"What was your original plan in regard
to the Salvation Army!'
My first idea was to get the people saved
and send them to churches. 1t proved i'm
practicable because they would not go when
sent, and ii they did go they were not want
ed. Then we wanted some of the converts
to help US in the business of saving others.
1t has been a source of deep sorrow to me
because the sects differ so on the subject of
practical goodness. We have to work for
immediate results. l shall look the field
over in Africa, and see if any immediate
results can be achieved The true princi-
pie of goodness is very active. If a man is
drowning, minutes delay means life or
death. Procrastination is yoked with the

them Godspeed."
Are you satisfied with the results of the
work of the Army"
Eyes and no. l think / may truthfulIy
say the Army has done great work, but
shall never be satisfied until all men become
followers of Christ. We want to convert
the world. l believe we will do it. Then,
and only then, will l be satisfied
''You have been often severely criticised
for your methods of work?'
"Oh, yes; but that does not matter We
expect criticism 1 do not care how much
the Army is criticised if the great work of
soul saving is carried on.'
''How have ministers of the gospel treat
ed you?"
Most of them very well, and the others
l suppose not so well, because they dill not
believe as we did. In the main, however,
have no fault to find"
SIS what is known as your Darkest Eng

Beyond doubt. In ny mind there is no
doubt of the growing usefulness of the
Army. I look confidently forward to
better results next year than ever before.
Oh, could talk for days on this subject.
But why &C on! In few hours leave for

His voice, in a lower key, was rather soft,

thunder in his hallelujah. Exposure to
wind and rain, to heat and sunshine had
not thinned his thick head of hair, now liD-

heavy lock hung upon his high forehead.
His feet were encased in strong, heavy

SOOO iOd1Iu. LOlAby-GWO years ago
he was born in Nottingham, England, and
studied for the Methodist ministry. He
was shouting Methodist" and at fifteen
years OF age he was recognized as a most
promising exhorter. But he had way, of
addressing open air meetings, and this was
the beginning of his Salvation Army work
When seventeen years old he was asked to
become local preacher, but he pleaded
youth, and at the age of twenty moved to
London. In a year or two he began to pre-
pare for the ministry, and it was then that
he made his first acquaintance with the east
end of London. He spoke in little chapel,
and had such success that he was sent on
an evangelical tour through the Kinedom
meeting with wonderful success. While
on this tour he married, and his wife mas
followed him ever since, until her death
some months ago. When the Methodist
conference wanted him to settle down as a
local preacher, and not evangelize, he re-
VOTED, and began the Salvation Army work
which, as boy in Nottingham, he had
really commenced ten years before. His
marvellous success is already known.

II often think the social part of life is of
far greater interest to the public than the
political and philosophic and theological
discussions with which the Britisher fills his
papers. A man finds his heaven or his other
thing in his social relations, and yet, as a
rule, YOU get your newspapers with that
very information crammed into few para
graphs. We Christian men all talk about
distractions, leaving the great questions

ness of mankind comparatively unnotlced."

try, so that he is now as thorough an Amer
lean as can be found and as fully in sympa-
thy with the hopes and aspirations Of the
country. He is small of stature, but vigor
is testified in his every movement.
He speaks English well but not fuently.
He is reserved man, and has not the fac
ulty of impressing his personality on others.
He states he can speak best through his
chisel. Mr.. Rebisso is one of the instruc-
tors in the Cincinnati Art school, which
duties he attends to in connection with the
public works upon which he has been en-
gagged. His other great statues are the
equestrian one of General Mcpherson in
Washington, fourteen feet high, and the
