First Big Rally Held in New York
City.


NEW YORK, April 2S-The first big
rally of the volunteers in New York City
filled Carnegie music hall last night The
strength of Ballington' Booths new
evangelical organization showed on the
stage, with it's rising tiers of benches,
occupied by more than 200 officers and a
band.
When Commander Mrs. Booth appeared
on the platform, the audience rose and
gave hearty greeting, which was only
hushed when it became evident5that Bal
lington Booth wished to speak
His first words: II am very pleased
once again after all that Mrs Booth
and I have been called upon to pass
through, to find myself at last here face
to face with my fellow countrymen.
This led TO more applause and cheers.
And reference to the fact that the first
declaration of their independence of the
English rule of the Salvation army was
promulgated on February 2, Washing
toms birthday, and again this first rally
OF the new organization was on the ma
tai day Of another national era, General

Mrs. Booth spoke of the suffering they
had endured, and added that with it
came q sense of justice outraged, which
arose from pain and kept the heart
from breaking OF the difficulties ahead,
she expressed no fear. She recalled the
navigator who, when asked if he knew

IONA territorial Republican convention
meets in Phoenix tomorrow One hun
dred and twelve delegates are provid-
ed for in the call of the central COM
mlttee, and of these sixty-two seats are
contested, adverse delegations being
sent from the three principal counties,
Maricopa Pima and Yavapai. This
evening, the two factions are caucus
ing and there is little doubt that an
other convention will be at once form
ed after the report of the committee
on credentials.
Tonight. the Mckinley faction has
apparently the call on organization,
and there is little doubt that the
regular convention will endorse the
Ohioan.
The opposition is for Allison or the
field
A strong movement was started to-
day for a non-committal money plank,
in the fear that a strong silver plank
might jeopardize statehood. This is
fiercely opposed, however, by the dele
gates from all the mining regions, and
the platform will endorse silver coin
age ait the 16 to 1 ratio, and will prob
ably instruct delegates to ST. Louis to
labor for the advancement of the cause

There Was a Great Gathering in
Denver Last Night.
DENVER, April 28.-At a silver mass
meeting held here tonight, Mr.. L. n.
Stevens was the principal speaker. Mr..
Stevens stated that the meeting was not
to be construed as the formation of a
silver party in Colorado, and that the
organization would have nothing to do
with local or state politics. Its object
was to secure the signatures of at least
10000 Colorado citizens to a pledge that
they would support no presidential nom
inee who was not for silver at TO to 1.
Their pledge is to be sent to the national
bimetallic headquarters in Washington.
The new organization will elect seventy
delegates to the national silver conven-
ton in st. Louis. About 1000 signatures
were secured at the meeting tonight. A
letter from Senator Teller was read en-
couraging the silver men to continue their
efforts for restoration of the white
metal, and speeches were made by r.
w. Speer, Judge Decker and prominent
men of all parties.

in reply to Mr.. Whittemore that when
he testified that he had not seen the
letters until they were shown him on

had not seen them until they were

THE DEFENSE WANTS INFoRMA-
TON
After luncheon, Judge Henderson
called attention to the fact that the
prosecution had put iii evidence the
record of five different appropriations
made to Andrews & Co. by the county
court. The offense charged in the in
dictment is that Hayken gave a bride
to J. r. Morris to influence Morris
vote on an appropriation. Counsel
asked that the prosecution be required
to disclose which of the five appropria-
tons they alleged the bride had been
given to influence. Counsel cited
authorities in support of his request.
The county attorney argued that the
indictment covered all the appropria-
lions and that the alleged bribe was
given to influence votes on the entire
transaction.
Judge Hiles overruled the motion
The county attorney then formally Of
fered the letters, twenty-five in num-
Der, in evidence.
OBJECTS TO THE LETTERS.
Judge Dey objected to their intro
duction as whole or separately on
the following grounds:
