in this country about two months, aud
will visit the leading cities in the
United States. Before he left London
he held farewell meeting; an admis-
sion fee Of 25 cents was charged, but
the large hall was crowded an hour
before the meeting commenced, and
hundreds were turned away.
The venerable general spoke for
nearly two hours, ana in the course of
his address referred to the proposed
visit to America. One who was pres

Of the American officers and soldiers,
and inspect the seat Of war, without
which generslship is impossible. He
was going to visit Salt Lake City, and
would be happy to see Mormons and
