FIRED THE FIRST VOLLEY.
1t Was n Harmless One without
Bullets.

Chicago, ILL.,, March o.-Ballington
Booths followers in Chicago fred the
first volley for the new American volun-
teers this afternoon at a hall on the
West Side, in close proximity to Saliva
ton Army headquarters. Majs. Black
hurst and Tumble. who arrived from
New York today to organize the Chi
cago contingent, were greeted with
cheers, mingled with countless, "amens"
and "hallelujahs" when they explained
the causes of the revolt. They an
nounced their determination to rema n
loyal TO the standard of Mr.. and Mrs.
Balington Booth, and to forever re-
nounce all allegiance to the red-breasted
soldiery with which they have been
identified for years. Many former prom
inent members of the Salvation Army
grasped them by the hand and cooper
ated in the organization of the volun-
teers One hundred others enlisted at
the meeting in the afternoon, and the
number was increased in the evenin 9
As the volunteer. officials approached
the hall they were accorded one con-
tinued ovation by the large crowd of
people who lined the sidewalks for sew
eral blocks.
Maj Blackhurst was the principal
speaker of the day. AS the official
mouthpiece of Ballington Booth, his
remarks created interest. The speaker
said Burlington Booth had been mis-
represented, and that the fundamental
cause of the whole trouble was the fact
that Ballington Booth was in too close
touch with American ideas, which con-
flicted with those in London.
The Major confirmed the rumor that
Gen. Booth once ordered down the
American flag in a certain Office of
the salvation army over which Bal
lington Booth had jurisdiction, and to
this incident Maj. Blackhurst attributes
the widening of the chasm which sePa-
rated father and son.

Gov, Brakes Daughter Broke the
Bottle of Champagne, and the Mon
ster slid into the Deep. Where her
Life Lies.

Philadelphia, March 28.-The launch
of the battleship "Iowa" from Cramps
shipyard today partook more of the ma
ture of a national event than any SINH
lar one since Mrs. Cleveland christened
the "St. Louis" nearly two years ago.
Vice President Stevenson headed the
delegation from Washington which in
cluded Secretary of the Navy Herbert,
Attorney General Harmon, Secretary of
Agriculture Morton, and large party of
senators and congressman.
The Iowa party was led by Gov. Drake,
whose daughter, Mary Lord Drake,
broke the bottle of champagne over the
vessels prov and gave it it's name.
Miss Drake is a handsome blonde of
commanding figure. She wore dress o
green plaid, with cape of velvet trim
med with chinchilla fur, a gray toque
with gray and black plumes, and gray
silk gloves. When she baptised the yes
sci she stood on little stand raised
above the bow platform, and on either
side of her were Henry w Cramp and
Miss Herbert, daughter of the naval
secretary.
The launch was entirely successful.
1t was exactly :3oH o'clock in the after
noon when the last block was knocked
away and the marine monster began her
brief journey. Following Mr.. Cramps
instructions, Miss Drake grasped the be-
ribboned bottle, and as the mighty hull
began to glide down the ways she crush
it against the Prov. The iowa" slipped
gracefully down into the middle of the
stream, and the tremendous crowd let
out mighty roar, while the nearby fac
tories and the craft which dotted the
river opened their shrill whistles.
After the launch there was an inform
al luncheon in the mould-loft, but no
speeches were made.

Pledged For prohibition.

Topeka, Kan, March 2o.-The Kan
sas State Temperance union has decided
upon a plan of political action for the
coming campaign. 1t proposes to secure
a written pledge from 10000 voters that
they will not vote for any candidate who
is not openly pledged to the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. The idea
is that 10000 voters pledged to this con-
dition will constitute the balance of
power in Kansas political affairs, and
can either secure their demand or wreck
any ticket which refuses to take the
required pledge. The work of securing
signatures has commenced.

that President Cleveland is not in the

that when the time comes he will an

such a nature was prepared by him some
time ago, but at the request of the

not the most opPortune time for it to be

Another Investigation Asked For.

Washington, March 3r.-RePresenta-
tive Shuford of North Carolida today
introduced a resolution to investigate
the recent sale of bonds The resolution
cites that charges have been made that
unfair and unprecedented advantages
have been accorded by President Cleve-
land and Secretary Carlisle TO certain
financial syndicate located in New York
City, and that charges have been made
against the president and secretary of
the treasury in regard to the recent
bond sale, wherein the same syndicate
secured nearly one-half of the bond
issue In a mysterious and suspicious
manner. The resolution then provides
that a committee of five be appointed by
the speaker to make an investigation
into all the circumstances relating to the
last three issues of bonds and report to
the house.
