He VIII Not Relinquish Command of
the Army in This Country

NEW YORK, Feb. 24-Commander
Ballington Booth of the Salvation Army
last night announced to the members of
his staff that he had decided not to
relinquish the command of the army in
the United States. and that under no
circumstances would he take orders
from England. This was meant to mean
that he will reorganize the army in this
country on an Independent basis, and
it was received with cheers and other
demonstrations of approval.
Commander Booth appeared at the
army headquarters last evening and
held a council of war with his staff
supporters, and declared it his inten-
tion not to relinquish his command until
compelled to do so. Colonel Alexander
N. Nicol the present representative of
General Booth, and Colonel Eadie, who
has assumed to exercise the authority
of acting commander, were called to the
ccuncil-room and given to understand
the commanders position. They went
into his presence pale and trembling,
and they emerged from the room look
ing very much troubled.
During the session a message was re-
ceived purporting to come from Lon
Mrs T. de la Tour Booth-Tucker had
been appointed to succeed Mr.. and Mrs
Ballington Booth in the United States.
This was promptly bulletined by Mr.
Nicol, but its truth was denied by Com
mander Booth and his friends, who de-
clared that the dispatch was bogus, and
was issued by Eva Booth, who is in
this city, to create a false impression.
Commander Booths statement that
he1would not recognize the message as
official was received with applause. 1t
was argued that the message could not
be authentic, because General Booth is
not in London, and could not make an
appointment Of such Importance except
in the regular way.
Commander Booths arrival was en-
tirely unexpected, and took the opposi-
tion by surprise. The regular Sunday
evening gospel service was in progress,
and the large hall was well crowded
The record-union., 1896-02-24

the deputatien reviewed the events Of
the Franco-Prussian conflict, an epoch,
he said, which was unavoidable, as paw
ing the way for ulterior achievements.
He was rejoiced, he said, to see that the
parties representing law and order were
cooperating with the Government 10
complete what had been gained by the
war of 1870, instead of forming into
separate factions.
The members of the Bundesrath, who
held banquet on Thursday evening to
commemorate the founding of the en-
pire, wired Prince Bismarck message
of cordial congratulation.
The representative of the United
Press learns that editorials on the
Transvaal question, published in the
New York "Sun," have greatly pleased
the Emperor, who mentioned them in
a private conversation with j. B. Jack
sen, United States Charge d'Affaires,
at a recent court function. Clippings
from the Sun on the Transvaal and
other subjects are submitted to the
Kaiser almost every other day.
Lieutenant-Colonel Ludlow, military
attache to the United States Embassy in
London, who passed through Berlin
is expected back here in a day or two
in response to request from the En-
peror. who only learned of the Coloners
presence in Berlin after he had started
for Kiel Colonel Ludlow has been in
specting the Corinth Canal, in obedi-
dience to orders from the Washington
Government, and went to Kiel under
similar instructions for the pupose of
surveying the Baltic-North Sea Canal.
In consequence of experiments with
the Roentgen rays, enabling the read
ing of the contents of inclosed letters,
Berlin chemist is making experiments
with substance for the manufacture
of envelopes which would be impervious
to the rays.
Lack of generosity on the part of the
former friends of Baron Won Hammer
stein, the former Conservative leader
and edftor-in-chief of the "Keuz Zei-
tung," who is now in jail here under
charges of forgery and embezzlement,
is severely criticised. They have not
even paid into the court the trihing sum
which would enable him to obtain his
meals from a common restaurant pend
ing his trial, and in consequence he has
been compelled to eat the ordinary
prison fare An ex-French officer, who
While a prisoner of war in 1870 came
into contact with Hammerstein, has in
terested himself in behalf of Hammer
stein and family. He has provided
Hammersteins wife and children with
quarters and provided them with food
and money. He has also paid into
court the sum of 200 marks for the
purpose of furnishing Hammerstein
with meals from a restaurant and in a
letter accompanying the money men
tions his grateful memory of the kind
ness he received at the hands of Ham
merstein and others while he was
prisoner in the hands of the Germans.
The Socialist newspapers declare
that if the Diet of the kingdom of Sax

GRACE DARRBLLs ABDUCTION
Cause of Great Excitement at Center
Hill. Florida.

LEESBURG (Fla.), Feb. 23.-There
is great excitement at Center Hill over
the abduction and maltreatment of
Miss Grace Darrell, a pretty Chicago
girl. Miss Darrell has regained con-
sciousness and says that when she
went onto the veranda Thursday night
someone threw a shawl over her head
to muff1e her cries and she was then
taken away. She says there were four
men concerned and she thinks she rec
ognized their voices. Soon after being
seized she freed her head and screamed,
when she was knocked senseless. When
she regained consciousness she was
nude and tied to a tree. Overcome by
horror, she soon relapsed into the un-
conscious state in which she was found
While Miss Darrell thinks she knows
her abductors she has not yet men,
toned the names, as she says she may
be mistaken and she does not want in
nocent men lynched.
It is believed the outrage was COM
mitted by four young men whose ad-
dresses the girl rejected, and who it is
alleged have threatened to be revenged.
It developed to-day that Miss Darrell
has recently received a number of let
ters of an obscene nature, and it is al
legged that these letters were written
by the young men suspected of the abb
duction.
