Report of the Investigating Committee
Triumph for General Booth.

Report of the Investigating Committee a
Triumph for General Booth.
LONDON, Dec. 22.-The report of the
committee of which the Earl of Onslow
is chairman. and which was adopted to
investigate the financial affairs of the
Salvation Army as conducted by Cen
eral Booth, was made public Tuesday
The report speaks fayorably of General
Booths enterprise for the redemption
of Darkest England" but qualities the
general verdict Of approval with criti-
cism to the effect that too much cash
had been sunk in building operations at
the beginning of the enterprise. The
report is great victory for General
Booth.
AS to the social wing of the Salvation
Army work the report of the committee
is almost entirely favorable. The COM
mittee states that it is evident that
neither General Booth nor the members
of his family derive any benefit from
the funds of the Salvation Army on
either side of the Salvation Army work,
and that General Booth has adequately
explained the sources of his personal
income. The committee consider that
the property maintained acquired for
Salvation Army uses is safe in the con-
troll of General Booth and his associates;
nevertheless, they recommend the APP
pointment of Independent trustees to
hold the real estate and stock invest
ments of the Salvation Army in trust as
an additional safeguard against fraud

has expressed surprise at the publica-

not money enough in the treasury to

contained in my annual report. In that
table | gave the condition of the bust

were on the completed files apparently
complete. But those claims were not
and are not now held up. | shall pub
lish a statement tomorrow showing
that the number had been reduced to
100000 up to the 10th of December.

CORN CROP IN ILLINOIS.

The Area the Smallest for Twenty Five
Years.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Dec. 22.-The Hi
nois state board of agriculture has tab
ulated the reports ON corn received Dec.
from nearly 600 correspondents repre-
senting every section of the state, and
the result is herewith given:
Owing to the unfavorable weather at
planting time the area of corn is the
smallest reported in twenty-five years.
being but 5, 1856 acres. The average
yield per acre was twenty-six bushels.
The total corn product amounts to 1877,
$40, 2S5 bushels, OF 50, iii, 1i555 bushels less
than the crop of 1891.
Owing to the inferior quality of the
grain (bIt So per cent. as compared
with an average), the ruling price of
thirty-five cents per bushel is lower
than that obtained for the last tw 0
years, and the total value of the crop if
sold at this price Dec. 1, would be but
$48, 1884, the smallest corn crop in
value since 1873.
The quality this season is much be-
low an average, particularly in central
Illinois. Much of the corn is soft, and
it is light and scraggy, so it will grade
unusually low.

head of the Harvard Annex Society for

Doors Battered Down and q Statue O
Christ Decapitated.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Dec. 22.--At
4:3O Tuesday morning party of mis-
creants smashed in the front door of the
Catholic church in Old Albuquerque
also the door of the residence of the
Jesuit fathers, adjoining the church on
one side and the doors of the sisters
convent, adjoining the same edifice on
the other The men occupied two bug
gies, and hitched the horses in front OF
the church, while with sledge-hammers
and axes they battered in the panels OF
the heavy doors At II o'clock the night
preceding the church door was forced
open and the statue OF Christ on the
main altar was desecrated. The head
and one Of the hands were knocked off.
Both times the parties escaped unrecog-
nized. The fathers were awakened by
the noise, but it was unsafe to show
themselves. Great Indignation is felt
here over the vandal outrage, and the
officers are working, but apparently
without clew. The edifice is possibly
the oldest in New Mexico, being over
300 years old.

to occur shortly. Present indications
lead the operatives in the chief cotton
spinning districts of north and north
east Lancashire to believe that the
mills at Oldham and Preston will re.
sumo operations next week, working
three days week. In the event of these
mills starting up it will afford the
locked-out operatives much encourage
ment in the battle they are waging, and
will enable them to subscribe portion
of their earnings to the strike fund OF
the Amalgamated Association of Opera

the lead at the start, and maintained it
for the first three laps, when Hagen

he would recover the laurels lost in Nor
way year ago; but in the eleventh
Hagen increased his lead, and held it to
the end without any great effort.

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-The Herald
again urges Charles A. Dana for the
position of minister to England. 1t says
editorially;
When President Cleveland appointed
Mr.. Edward Phelps as minister to Eng
land he recognized the Importance of
having the United States represented at
the court of st. James by man of in
tellectual force, scholarly attainments
and national standing. In that selec-
ton Mr. Cleveland must realize
that he made no mistake; that
ne acted to the interest of the
country as well as for the credit of his
own administration. He must also see
that he may proceed ON the same prin-
ciple with safety in making his next APP
pointment of minister to England.
The Herald has named Mr.. Charles A.
Dana because it wishes to see first
class man chosen for the place, and be-
cause it knows that he has all the quail
ties required in diplomatic representa-
tive of the highest rank At that i'm
portant post Mr.. Dana would soon win
distinction, as he has won it in the field
of journalism.
