the seceders to be failure. Salvationists
at headquarters say openly that is the re-
suit. At meeting this afternoon of the
northwestern division of tho Salvation
army, held at Princess rink, the building
was crowded to the doors. Demonstra-
tions of approval were frequent during the
young commissioners address, but those
who are the backbone to the northwestern
division were silent. The dissenting SOL
diers and officers expected to have from
the lips of Eva Booth an explanation OF
the difficulty between Bailington Booth
and his father. Her apparent disposition
was to pass over tho dispute in silence.
Only once was she interrupted. That was
when she spoke of the principles ''of the
army
"Tell us what those principles are,
please" cried someone in the audience.
There wes confusion for an instant, with
talk of putting the disturber out of doors.
Then Eva answered.:
"Those principles are too we'll known,
too widely known, too numerous to men.

to the publications, look to its work in tue
world. Ny time Ia too limited.
''It has been stated by some who know
very little Of our work that we wish to An
glicise the work wherever we inaugurate it,
There is no other organization on earth
that is a greater believer in the doctrine of
when in Rome, do as Romans do.'"
Miss Booth spoke with tears of the grief
of the old general.
.'Are you satisfied with the commission
er's explanatory" an officer was asked
after the commissioners address.
"Do you call that an explanation? What
did she say? She talked around the
question we are asking, and then turned
the meeting into salvation service. Wait
till Ballington comes,'
Ballington Booth is expected here next
Saturday. He will speak in Central Music
hall, and an open revolt and transfer of
allegiance is promised.
New YORK, March 22.--Many we're the

the chief secretary, had received cable
message from General Booth ordering him

A GOOD CRUISER
The Massachusetts Wins Praises and VIII
Win premjums

WIN FFGmIUmB
PHILADELPHIA, March 22.-The q. S. S.
Massachusetts which left Cramps ship
yard for her builders trial trip returned to
her dock today. The results of her trial
were even better than those accomplished
with the Indiana two years ago. That
chip on her builders trial only got up a
speed of 15 6-1O knots for a short time,
whereas the Massachusetts sustained that
speed over the ten-mile course and ex-
ceeded the speed of the Indiana under sim
liar conditions by about one knot an hour.
When the Indiana was tried, too. the wea-
ther was perfect, but the Massachusetts
contended against a northwest gale and
acquitted herself beautifully. All on
board are enthusiastic and say the new
than the Indiana. Rear Admiral Maker
off, commander Of the Russian squadron on
the Pacific coast and one of the most noted
officers in the czar's navy, who was a guest
OF the Cramps on the trip, expressed him
self in terms of the highest praise of the
Massachusetts performance.
"Over in Russia" he said, 1--WE ere &C.
customed to thinking that American news
papers are often given to exaggeration, so
concluded to see for myself just what the
new battleship would do. She performed
splendidly indeed. A speed of fifteen and
six-tenths knots under adverse winds and
with her new engines, steering gear, ETC.,
absolutely new. l consider very compli-
mentary to her builders"
"How did the Massachusetts impress
you as to her qualities other than those of
speed?"
Every we'll, indeed. The disposition of
her guns as regards the securing of range
is the rest have ever seen on any ship.
OF course this has been gained at the sac
rifice of some little freeboard fore and aft,
but not enough to be of any consequence
in the field of coast defense. The Massa-
chusetts will be a great addition to your
navy"
Admiral Makeroff is on his way to St.
Petersburg on a leave of absence. Pre-
vious to taking command of the Pacific
squadron he was chief officer of the Rus
sian Mediterranean squadron.

THE GERMAN BANQUET
Tho Reiehstag Pals to Represent the Ma

tionaI Sentiment
LONDON, March 23.-A dispatch from
Berlin to the Times says:
Four hundred past and present members
attended Saturdays banquet to commem-
crate the first sitting of the reichstag in
1871. No Socialists were present.
1t is believed the decision to toast Prince
Bismarck unofflcially was largely due to
Chancellor Won Hohenlohe's toast. The
toast was very warmly received.
There has been much speculation regard
ing the following phrase in Won Hohen-
lohe's speech at the banquet:
"Bismarck addresses many q warning
word to the epigene of the great times that
are past"
This may refer to Prince Bismarck's pa
per articles and speeches, but the favorite
Interpretation is that it actually refers to
personal advice by Prince Bismarck to
Chancellor Won Hohenlohe.
The Bismarckian organs, in commenting
upon the anniversary, express disappoint-
ment and assert that the reichstag totally
lacks the national sentiment needed to
make it worthily represent the people.
