VIII Do with the Salvation Ar
nay in America.

NEW YORK. April 1.-Frederick st.
George Booth-Tucker, recently ap-
pointed by General Booth as com
mander of the Salvation army in the
United States TO succeed Darlington
Booth. arrived tonight on the steam
ship Majestic He was met at the
dock by a group of Salvation army Of
fcers and Informed that his baby boy,
Bramwell, was dead, and that his wife
was i'll. The new commander pro-
ceeded at once to the bedside of Mrs.
Booth Tucker.
rdr Tucker was born in India. He
studied law and was admitted to the
bar in England. Returning TO India
he achieved prominence in his profess
sion and was made a judge. He be-
came interested in the work of the
Salvation army and formed what is
now known as the East Indian branch
of that organization. In India Com
mander Booth-Tucker is known as
Fakir Singh.
Later in the evening Commander
Booth-Tucker went TO the national
headquarters of the Salvation army,
where he greeted a tfrong of enthus-
astic members of the organization
After an informal introduction by
Commander Carleton and the attend
ant greetings. Mr.. Booth-Tucker said:
My policy shall be one of love and
not OF aggressiveness. l shall do in
the sphere of my new command as /
have done in India. 1 will follow on
the fashion of the American people.
whom General Booth so dearly loves
and admires
THE information which has been
placed before me during my brief So
journ in America 10 the effect that
Ballington Booth has charged that the
London officers suppressed three cable
grams sent by him to his farher is to
me a surprise. Everything in connec-
ton with the American situation has
been placed before the general The
are entirely regrettable.
but the Salvation army has got to That
stage now that If the leaders
run away the women in the slums
would take up the deserted flag and
proceed with the good work aided bv
God and proceeding effectively today in
every nation in the world.
The secession Of Ballington Booth
has attracted a great deal of sympathy
and aroused a lot of dormant affection
IN England for the Salvation army IN
The United States. The English people |
still hope Ballington will see his way !

every means in my power to secure |
that end. In regard to the transfer OF |

wALLBRIDGE,s SALARY.

ST. LOUIS. April 1.-The Taxpayers
league has brought suit to restrain
Mayor Cyrus P Walbridge from col
lecting the salary which accumulates
while he is absent from the city. The
suit is an application for an injunc-
ton restraining City Treasurer Charles
Scudder from paying the mayor his
salary for the month of March. and
restraining his honor from accepting
the check from the treasurer. The in
junction is asked on the ground that
Mayor Walbrldge has, during the past
year. repeatedly absented himself from
the city. and has drawn salary amount
ing to sl,l0o for the time so wasted
The month of March is specified in
the injunction because during that
month the mayor has, 1t is said, been
busy attending political gatherings in
various sections of the state, but has
demanded his salary as usual.

GETTING READY,
Georgetown People Do Not Propose
to BE Taken BY Surprise.


GEORGETOWN, British Guiana,
March 29.-After hard work ever since
| the Venezuelan boundary dispute be-
| gan, the fort at the mouth of the
Demarara river, which is intended to
protect this city, is considered ready
1 for service and two rapid fire guns are
IN position behind a mound of hard
clay. 1t is though they are sufficient
to keep off any naval force the Vene-
zuelans could send against the city
until the cruisers of the West Indies
could be telegraphed for. Whether
they could do 80 or not is questionable,
but however that may be, the citizens
of this place are breathing easier now
that they are in position.
The Georgetown militia has been
kept stepping OF late, drilling twice a
week instead of once, as was the Gus
tom before and the target practice is
sharper than usual while the spirit
among the militiamen is very strong
for try at the Venezuelans.
The local artist has made a large
painting of the British Guiana militia
meeting the Venezuelan regulars and
chasing them into the forest He has
put this on exhibition in his photo
graph gallery and uses it as an adver-
Using card.
The clamor to have the boundary
question settled is growing rather than
decreasing among the people with gold
interests. A day or two ago it was
rumored about that the question was
to be ended by giving the Venezuelans
the northwest district. This caused a
big commotion as there has been more
money sunk in that territory than in
any other in the colony. Every week
of delay causes just so much loss IN
the gold men, who are afraid that they
VIII lose everything by an unfavorable
decision
A very significant thing has lust
happened bearing or the dispute
colonial stattstician rendered report
on the mining industry and possibili-
ties of British Guiana, in this renort
stating that that part of the territory
Whfch Great Britain refuses to arbi-
trate was in dispute" and that the
gold felds there could not be developed
uhtli II was decided that the land be-
ionged TO Great Britain. This hool,
was out nearly month before anvone
happened to think that the British gov
eminent had said that this strip was
not in dispute. The report was inn
mediately suppressed.
FOR the last two months the weather
mas been. so dry that it has been very
dlfhcult for miners to reach the new
heids that are not in disputed terri
tory and this has added to their dis
gust: The dry weather has also done
damage to the crops ali
over the colony.
owing to the discouraging condition

passed intended to liven up the trade

unreasonable to US to have him ask
that witnesses should be present.
/ When person wants to make an
appeal to persons heart, he is not
going to make a fool of himself by
shedding tears in the presence of a
third party whose presence has so
much to do with distracting the atten-
ton of the parties concerned. Balling-
ton Booth was not dismissed. We
deny that in toto.
There is no foundation whatever to
the report that Colonel Nicol contem-
plates joining the Volunteers. When
l parted with him before leaving for
tnls country he had no leaning in that
direction. 1t is true he placed a state
ment defining the situation here before
the general. and telling him how the
otncers and soldiers in America had
so nobly and CALAMITY stood by their
guns
He stated a Widespread feeling on
the outside was rather against US, and
! added that latterly the press had a
disposition to take our side.

deep sense of the honor and RESPONSE

commander Booth-Tucaer seemed
conndent of being able to induce Bal

seio II was more than probable that
General Booth would pay a visit to
America in the fall and review the
whole Salvationist field.

half an interest in the invention. A
singular feature is the fact that pun

that the operator sold the interest in
more than the whole of the patent.
and to prove this would require the
gathering of three men from three
cities. Even then the operator could
be prosecuted only on the petit charge

MONTREAL, Que, April 1.-The
annual meeting of the Canadian Pa

Gus. The annual report was favorable,
one of it's most interesting clauses re-
ferring to the agreement between the
company and the New York Central,
the Michigan Central, the Canadian
Southern and the Toronto, Hamilton
and Buffalo Railway companies for the
completion and joint control of the
railway of the last named company,
thereby securing to the Canadian Pa
! cific' an important and long needed
connection with Hamilton, Brantford
and Niagara Frontier. In this con-
nection negotiations are pending for
| the joint use by the Canadian Pacific
OF the Grand Trunk line between To-
ronto and Hamilton with the object of
rendering unnecessary the construc-
ton of the Hamilton-Toronto section
of the Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo
railway, and there is good reason to
believe that this arrangement will be
consummated and in view of this, the
shareholders were asked to authorize
the directors to make such an agree
ment with the Grand Trunk company

privileges between the cities named as

MERELY A REPoRr.

NEW YORK. April "A dispatch to
the World from Caracas, Venezuela
says:
A report reaches here from New York
that the Venezuela government here has
agreed to pay Great Britain 50, 900 indem
nifty for the arrests in Uruan. 1t is
claimed from the highest authority that
the report is untrue.
Venezuela has refused to pay one cent.
of indemnity for what is known as the
Uruan incident, as long as England
claims the men were arrested on British
soil: has refused to do anything in the
premises unless England changes the
words British soil" in her demand to
disputed territory and, furthermore.
Venezuela will not pay any indemnity to
Great Britain until after the American
commission on Venezuela boundary makes
It's report. England has not yet changed
the .phraseology of her demand. Public
opinion is strong against any payment.
