FORMALLY OPENED.
Salvation Army National Headquarters at
New York Dedicated.


New YORK, June 4.-The national
headquarters of the Salvation Army in
America was formally dedicated and
given to the people Monday after
noon. The building is handsome,
eight-story stone edifice, with rs
feet frontage on Fourteenth street.
The exercises were very sim
Pile. First there was street parade
with several hundred Salvation sol
diers in line. At $50 the parade re-
turned to the memorial building,
and Commander Ballington Booth,
Mrs. Booth and the chief officers
mounted the stand erected on
the opposite side of the street.
The street at this time was filled
from Sixth avenue to Seventh avenue
with members of the army, their
friends and spectators. The staff brass
band struck up America" and gun
was fred from the west turret. AS the
smoke curled up Commander Booth
pulled rope that broke" the Stars
and Stripes. AS it unfolded itself
to the breeze the commander made q
few appropriate remarks. Another
gun was fired from the east tower, and
Mrs. Booth pulled rope. A large Sal
walton Army flag in red, with white
letters, salvation Army" was un-
furled. Mrs. Booth also made
brief address. Commander Booth
then crossed the street, and,
entering the building, emerged
upon the balcony. From that point he
read a declaration stating that the
building was open to the people and
the afternoon exercises were COM
pleted. The army's evening parade
passed over the same route as that
taken in the afternoon. There were
about 1000 men and women in line.

LAND CASE DECIDED.
Verdict in Chicago Sanitary District Con-
domination Suit.

JOLIET, ILL.,, June 3.-After two weeks
trial in the circuit court in this city
the jury in the Chicago sanitary dis
trict condemnation case brought in a
verdict giving the property owners
S3s, Gel. As for the 127 acres in dispute,
a little over SSH an acre. The
property owners got from 800 to
Sl5O an acre in the first trial
in the Du Page county court for
land that was considered dear at that
price. The contractors in exceyating
used the stone excavated to wall up
with and incidentally saved something;
and on this account it was claimed
that the land was valuable stone land,
worth 81, 800 to $1,000 an acre. The
stone was said to be of an inferior
quality and the land we'll paid for at
the price awarded by the first jury,
who gave the defendants $4,000 for
the 127 acres.

SHERMAN ANSWERS HILL.
DCSlnren tho Now York Senator DispIays
His Ignorance.

ss ARhoEhhCo'
MANSFIELD, O., June 4. = Senator
Sherman, in reply to question as to
whether he had read Senator Hills
criticism of his GAINESVILLE speech, said
that he had, but that Senator Hills re-
marks would indicate that he had not
read the speech.
AT oil the conventions In Ohio" said the
senator, I'VE have declared that we are in
favor of the use of gold and silver maintained
at par with each other To the extent that
We can maintain the silver at par with gold
we coin ut the present ratio We buy the
silver ut its market value and coin 1t Mt the
legal rntio, but we maintain parity by re-
ceiving 1t and paying 1t out as the equivalent
OF gold"
"Is there anything in this to degrade our
dollar standard, as Senator Hill sayss"
ut does not degrade It, The whole OF our
policy is to maintain the two metals ut par
with each other"
What about Senator Hills sarcastic refer
ence to silver dollars and greenback dollars
not being exportabbe?"
"Mr Hill only displays his ignorance when
he says that our silver money and all other
forms Of money are not receivable in England
at the value we put upon 1T, because we re-
ceive 1t and they can send 1t back by steam
er at n trifllng cost and can use 1t in pay
ments instead of gold They can present sil-
yer certificates and we receive them the Same
as gold In payments OF duties aud otherwise"
"What do you think OF Mr.. Hills idea OF
free bimetallic coinage at ratio Of l5M to ~"
The ratio Of 15M to is the ratio subse-
quently adopted in France and some other
countries, Whether 1t is 15h or 10 1t makes
no difference 1t is q mere question of differ
ence and not principle. They keep their old
ratio because they have had 1t In force,
but they do not adopt the free coinage Of tho
cheaper metal II they did it only would
circulate. We established the ratio OF 10 to
In 1884 and 1887 in order to bring gold back
into common use. The reason why silver
has fallen in market value is because the pro-
duction has enormously increased. Forty
years ago no silver produced in this
country, and now the United States is the
| largest producer Of silver in the world. The
result Of throwing this large amount OF silver
in the market has been that it has fallen in
value bullion. We, however, coin it and
maintain all the silver coins at par with gold
by receiving them and paying them out as We
do United States notes"

RIOTS IN CHINA.
Mission Stations IN City of Ching Too
Destroyed.


SHANGHAI, June 4.-Intelligence has
been received here that between May
20 and 81 the French Catholic and
English and American missionary prop
erty at Ching Too, capital of the prov
ince of Szechuen, western China,
was destroyed by rioters. The mission
aries are reported to be safe. The
province of Szechuen has been
termed the 'Texas of China"
Ching Too, or Chentu, is the cap
ital city. 1t is situated in the midst
of broad, fertile plain, and is the
great center for the whole province as
well as the numerous outlying cities
and villages. Ching Too has been
spoken of by many foreigners as
the finest Chinese city they have
visited. The missionary society of
the Methodist Episcopal church was
the first missionary body to buy prop
erty at Ching Too, and there was more
or less opposition to the missionaries
upon the part of the natives.

TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS.
Supreme Court Renders Judgment on
Cases Brought Before 1t.

supreme court RENDERS Judgment ON
Cases Brought Before 1t.
WASHINGTON, June Am the su-
preme court Monday Justice Gray
announced the decision of the
court in the case of Henry
Tilton and others vs. Guyot,
liquidator of the estate of Forth &
Company, involving the validity of for
eign judgments, reversing the decision
of the court below and remanding the
case for trial in the circuit court of the
southern district of New York.
The tariff act of 1894, according to
the decision of the supreme court of
the United States announced Monday in
the case of the United States VS.. Burr
and Hardwicls, went into effect August
rs, 1894, the dateit was promulgated by
the state department as law without
the presidents signature and not on
the 1st of August, the date named in
the act itself for taking effect.
This simplifies matters much, as all
collections have been made on the
basis now sustained by the courts de-
cision. Had the court held otherwise,
protests of numerous importers, involv-
ing about 100000 in amount, who
claimed that the new law took effect
August /, would have to be acted upon
and refund made. These protests will
now be simply dismissed and the work
of collection will proceed moro
smoothly

A Little Mistake.

Some Of our contemporaries are KILL
Ing of Senator Hill before his time;
they assume that the legislature elected
a week ago to-day will name his sue
cessor. That Is not the fact. Mr.. HIS
term will expire in March, 1896 The
New York legislature will begin to bal
lot for the selection of his successor In
January of that year.
The members Of the senate, in the
present legislature. will be in the sem
ate at that time-the present senate,
under an arrangement made by the
recent constitutional convention, holds
for three years; thereafter the term will
be two years. But the members OF
the lower house who will vote for the
next New York senator will not be
elected until next November. So that
Senator Hill has one more chance at IT.;
not very fiattering one, to be sure,
as things look now. Still a great many
things happen in politics in the run Of
a twelvemonth.
1t is not New Yorks habit to send
democrats to the federal senate. Be-
fore Mr.. Hills election, Francis Ker-
nan went in for one term on the Tilden
tidal wave and, till Hills election, he
was the only democratic senator from
New York during the lifetime of the
republican party. Herman, Hill and
Murphy make up the democratic sena-
torial roster to date. Murphy was a
political machinest. it was thought he
might cut some figure in the senate as
an operator in politics. The event has
proved that he would he more in place
in some boot and shoe factory than he
Is In the senate of the United States.

A Reasonable Request.

The figures furnished by the postof-
fee department at Washington and
printed yesterday morning, are a re-
minder that, at many important points
in Montana. the postal service Is SIN
gularly behind the times. Bearmouth.
ON the line of the Northern Pacific
railroad, presents a case in point.
Railroad trains pass through that
town every day in the year. more than
seventy-five voters live ait the place or
in it's immediate vicinity-a fact which
is in witness of a community worthy
of consideration. Yet the people of
Bearmouth must go either sixteen
miles to Bonita or twelve miles to
Drummond in order to get their mail.
The citizens of Bearmouth have pre-
scented their case to the authorities at
Washington but no answer has come
from the department. Our idea is that
Congressman Hartman could give a
friendly lift Ito a movement which
would give the citizens of Bearmouth
a postal service ito which they seem to
be reasonably entitled.
