Counsel for Allen Harrison, who Is to

The Big Council-A Bang 'ot and Torch

NEw York, Now 2l.-Carnegie Music
Hall seldom held a larger and certainly
never more enthusiastic gathering than
it did tonight when Mr.. and Mrs. Ball
ington Booth addressed the first meet
ing in connection with the continental
congress and councils of the Salvation
Army. There were delegates present
from different parts OF the country.
A BANQUET was served in the LenoN
Lyceum at Z o'clock. This banquet was
for the 1900 officers. At its conclusion,
torchlght procession was formed.
Commander Booths carriage was es-
corted by bal "a OF cadets, preceded by
a company of ten torch bearers. When
the procession reached the music hall
the proceedings began. Commander
Booth presided and made an address
OF welcome. He said the day was COM
ing when the American people would
recognize work OF the Salvation Army.
Then he read statistics to show the
work the army had done. In the
United States the indoor congregations
that had attended the army meetings OF
the past twelve months had aggregated
13, ,1G9,SSS.
The converts made in the same time
were 32,4SS; cities and towns occupied

storm OF Indignation, in the midst OF
which he was tried and condemned TO
death, it is also true that later develop
ments have led to q general and very
serious doubt as to his mental RESPONSE
bility at the time OF the deed. In con-
yersation with the INTELLIGENCER repre-
sentative he said that just previous to
the occurrence he had been in great
trouble. He was out OF work and could
get nothing TO do. His life had been
threatened by desperate characters be-
cause he had denied false reports circu.
lated by them to lower him in the esti-
nation OF his sweetheart and her par
ents. he had had succession Of terri
bIe dreams which had filed his soul
with terror. His mind, weak at the
best, had been so distraught by thes o
influences that he armed himself with
revolver, taken without leave from
the house OF friend. intending to use
it for self protection, II worse came to
worst. He brooded over his troubles
until he felt that without money, and,
as ne thought, without friend in the

A BIG BLAZE.
THE HEAVENS ALIGHT AT l:3o
THIS MORNING.
The Two-Story Residence of W. n. Tay-
lor, Corner Fourth and Jones,
Burned to the Ground.

At 1:SO this morning the fremen were
called to the corner of Fourth and Jones
streets, fire then raging in the two-story
boarding house of Mrs. Slaton. So
rapid had the fire spread on
the inside that before half
dozen people were on the ground flames
were issuing from every window and door
in the building, and to save anything was
an utter impossibility. The fremen, when
they arrived, directed their atten-
ton to the large two-story resi-
dence east, occupied by Mrs.
Terry, mother of Mrs. W. H. Taylor,
which had by this time caught on the
west and nearest the corner house.
The flames were furious, and with much
difficulty did the fire boys stand their
ground.
The houses were entirely frame, and the
dense volumes of black thick smoke rolled
in the faces of the crowd for an entire block
away.
The greater portion of the furniture in
the second house was removed, but in a
most dilapidated condition.
Grave fears were entertained for the
safety of the corner house east, but by
good work it was saved.
Houses for three or four blocks south
were seveveral times on fire from the flying
flakes of fire, and the brick building of the
First Methodist church just across the
street withstood tho ordeal bravely.

GILLIAN CRISIS.
THE CONSERVATIVES BENT ON

Their Partisans Already in Most of the
Public Positions-The Liberals Prepar-

New YORK, March 6-The Herald's cable
gram from Chilli says: There is no gain
saying the fact that Chill is on the eve of a
political crisis. The conservative or church
party is, it is understood to pursue the
most aggressive policy in the approaching
term of congress. To that end it is now
bending all its energies. The conservatives
are not satisfied with the great power
they now possess, but are determined to
strike for more. Their portlsans already
fill the majority of posts on the railroads
and in other branches of government serv-
ice. They now desire TO secure
at least one-half the higher ju-
dicial offices and have evinced
the utmost antipathy toward the counsel of
state, body of six persons appointed by
congress, and which while it lasts
gets its authority from the president.

Duncan Harrison Declares That Sullivan
Wrote His own Challenge-SuIII-
van Sats His Weight Is
Against Him.

MINNEAPoLIs, MINI. March 6.-The As
ISOLATED Press representative this after
noon interviewed John L. Sullivan on
Mitchell's answer to his challenge and the
big fellow said: Il have read Mitchell's
reply to my challenge and can only say it is
on a par with his entire attitude toward
me- He asserts that he stood me off twice
and extracted forfeits on both occasions
from me as the records of the contest will
prove. These men have bounded me
ever since Harrison and myself formed our
partnership. They came here full of blow
and bombast, protesting TO have plenty OF
money to back either or both to fight, know
ing my hands were tied, but on bling called
by Charles johnson OF Brooklyn, who de-
posted $500 with the New York Herald,
they were found wanting. That
deposit remained up for nearly year.
They never covered it. They hammered
away at me with all sorts of challenges and
bluffs. My challenge is issued, but 1 will
any concession in reason to meet this
Mitchell or Slavin or any other fighter.
Any reputable honest stakeholder will
suit me. The only things 1 insist upon
are that the match takes place
between the middle of August and the first
week of September at the outside, Marquis
of Queensbury rules to govern. am justi-
fed in this, for the reason that my season
ends in June with Harrison and we resume

have an outside bet of proper
dimensions to justify me in pre-
pairing for the contest, as 1
don't propose to have them sneak out of it
when it comes to an issue. Marquis of
Queensbury rules regard as the only fair
rules, as under their government a man
must fight, not run away. If Mitchell,
Slavin, Corbett or the rest mean business
let them act, not talk and cry about my
weight. That IS a disadvantage rather
than an advantage, and simply
stamps Mitchell's assertion as ridiculous
and laughable, which anyone who knows
anything about fighting viii concede. My
ultimatum is made. My challenge, which
is entirely my own, is out. If these men
mern business they know where to find me.
If not they had better cross the pond and
seek English peace, not American dollars"
Duncan B. Harrison, who was referred
to by Mitchell in his last nights interview
as the author of the challenge of the cham
pion of the world, said: II have received.
Mitchells reply to Sulliyan's challenge in
this mornings papers, in which he stated
that it is evident the challenge emanates
from me. That is simply manu-
facturrd story out of whole cloth, and in
my conviction is simply an effort
on the part of Mitchell to evade the issue.
Sullivan himself was the author of the
challenge. This can be proved beyond the
peradventure of doubt'

MAHER'S MADN ESS.
THE IRISH CHAMPION TRIES TO
KILL HIMSELF.
Car Going Full Speed When
Fitzsimmons Saves Him.

CHARLOTTE, N c., March 6-When the
vestibule train was ten miles from this
city last night Peter Maher. the Irish
champion heavyweight, attempted suicide
by trying to jump out of a window. The
train was going at full speed. Fftz-
simmons, Maher and a party of ten
men. who had been to New Orleans
TO witness the fight, were returning north
They had stateroom and several other
seats were engaged. Fitzsimmons and
his friends were chatting and smoking
and were not taking special notice Of Maher
who sat in a seat by himself. Maher
raised the window next to which he was
sitting and leaned out. He had
been suffering from his pummell-
ing Those who noted his action
thought he wanted fresh air. He sprang
from his seat and made for the window. In
an instant Fitzsimmons guessed his inten-
ton and bounded toward him. With the
assistance of others he rescued him. A
physician in the party administered an
opiate which put him to sleep.
