WORK OF THE VOL UNTEE RS
Commander and Mrs. Ballington
Booth Given Great
Ovation.
Plenty of Laborers and Money to Be
Enlisted in the New Army's
Cause.

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 90. - Com
mander and Mrs. Ballington Booth were
given great ovation when they stepped
upon the platform of Carnegie Music Hall
last night, where the Volunteers held their
ranks. The house was well filled. The
commander was dressed in natty suit OF
blue. On his left breast was the new sill
yer badge of the Volunteers. On his shoul-
ders were fastened the insignia of his Office.
AS the commander stepped on the stage
the strains of Hail Colum bia" broke
forth, and the commander offered prayer.
He followed by announcing the hymn,
"Ive Washed Myself in Jesus Blood"
The chorus was taken up by the whole
house ard sang with vim.
II am very pleased to have this oppor-
tunity of standing once more before my
countrymen," began the commander. He
said it was quite lifting that the Volunteer
rally should occur on an anniversary Of
General Grants birthday, especially so as
it was in this city that both he and his
wife were received five years ago.
II am glad to be here tonight, for after
all Mrs. Booth and l have gone through
and suffered l feel that We owe you an ex-
planation of our aims" The commander
said that he felt that this country was
quite large enough for him, for here were
living Englishmen, Irish, Swedes and rep
resentati9es of other nations-all living
happily together.
II believe in America and its constitu-
tion." said Comm ander Booth, land I be-
lieve the country large enough for fifty Or
ganizations whose work should be the
regeneration OF the depraved."
The term volunteer belongs essentially
to America, the commander said, and at
the least this organization of which he
was the leader did not go to England for
its name. As in the days of '76 and again
in '61, the volunteers marched to the front
at the sound of the bugle, so to-day, he
said, new danger threatened, and he
found ready thousands only too willing to
march to the call. Victory, he said was
emblazoned on the sky.
After a song Mrs. Booth was intro
duced. She was loudly applauded. She
said in part:
In times of war the general never gives
out In tull his DlanS-he shows his work in
the results, aud, she said, 1.-The Volunteers
were much the same. She felt sure the
Volunteers would have an army of 10 600
and would have building of it's own.
One friend to-day, Mrs. Booth said. is
worth hfty in the days of prosperity. Mrs.
Booth explained that the Volunteers pro-
posed 10 90 practically the same work as
toat done by the Salvation Army. She
maze strong plea for money. She said
that many OF the Volunteers were going on
half ratlons, and it was necessary That
money should be had Immediately.
Ushers were sent through the audience
to take up collection, and while doing SO
Commander Booth read letters of support
from William Earl Dodge, Rev. Samuel
Vlergin, Major and Mrs. Fielding and
several others. AS the slips were handed
up to the platform cheers greeted the an
nouncements. When the meeting ended
there We're 2l0 defenders enlisted and about
$500 had been collected.

PAYMENT OF MESSAGES.

RuIing as to Telegraph Tolls of Army
officers Hong BOnd-Aided Roads.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 29.-The
Com ptroller of the Treasury has rendered
a decision in answer to a request of the
War Department to be informed whether
disbursing officers of the army sh all here
after pay telegraph companies for mes
sages which pass over the lines constru eted
along the bond-aided Pacific railroad, or
whether the requirements of existing army
regulations that such accounts be sub
mitted to the accounting officers of the
treasury for adjudication and settlement
shall continue to operate.
The substance of this decision is that
when the messages are so sent, and ac-
counts so kept as to render it impossible
to ascertain the extent to which the rail-
road lines are used, the telegraph company
receiving the message without direction as
to their transmission is entitled to pay
ment on the presumption that only the
lines owned byit were used for the service.
AS result of the decision the department
has been obliged to revoke one of the army
regulations.

Communicating With Pretoria Through
the British Foreign Office
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 29.-sec-
retary Olney has been in telegraphic COM
munication with the British Foreign Of
flee to-day with regard to securing the
most favorable treatment of Hammond by
the Boer authorities. This line of action
is made necessary by the fact that the
United States Government has no diplo-
matte Office near the South African Re-
public, its only representative being a
Consular Agent at Johannesburg and a
Vice-Consul at Cape Town. Vice-Consul
knight wired that he would send further
particulars o: the commutation of the
death sentence, but did not do so for the
reason, undoubtedly, as shown in the
United Press dispatches from London, that
the clemency shown was indefinite and
does not show how far the Communication
went.

TERMONT REPUBLICANS.
Il Mckinley Resolution adopted and
Then Tabled,


MONTPELIER, W., April 29.-W. A.
Lord of Montpelier presided over the Re-
publican State Convention to-day to elect
delegates to the National Convention. A
Mckinley resolution offered by Hugh
Henry OF Chester was greeted with tre-
mendous applause.
The platform declares unvarying de-
votion to the Republican doctrines of pro-
lection, reciprocity and consistent and
dignified foreign policy, based upon the
traditional doctrine of non-intervention in
the affairs Of the Old World and the mainte-
nance OF the Monroe doctrine; favors Just
but liberal administration of the pension
laws, an adequate system OF coast defense
and reasonable regulation and restric-
ton of immigration. The financial plank
is as follows:
The Republicans of Vermont are unalterably
opposed to any scheme to give the country
deprecated or debased currency We are
therefore opposed to the free coinage of silver
except by international agreement and until
re-esta tablished we believe the present monetary
standard should be honorably maintained
The continued agitation of the free coinage of
silver retards the return of our confidence and
prosperity, and stands in the way of beneficial
legislation, and is in every respect harmful to
the best interests of the country. The custom
of not restricting delegates to the National
Convention by instructions is adhered to. but
hearty and loyal support is pledged to the
choice of the convention.

she was leader and should put none but
true and tried friends of the white metal
