NEW YORK. April 12.---Commander
and Mrs. BallingtOn Booth gave out the
appended statement tonight:
Since our statement written in re-
sponse to the urgings we received to
inaugurate a new movement was is
sued we avoided making any reply to
the inaccurate statements which have
from time to time appeared in print from
the presenet leaders Of the Salvation
Army. In this attitude of silence we
have been endorsed by our friends and
the public 1t was our intention to
maintain this silence but during the last
few days news has reached us that por-
tions of our private letters are being
shown by London representatives who
are putting their own interpretations
upon our reasons for our present posi-
tion. Hearing of this our, friends and
our officers urge us to state some of our
reasons for deciding not to take another
command under International govern
ment. p
We have appealed to the American
people for help and support and we can
not forget that a decent respect for the
opinions of mankind requires that we
declare the causes which impelled us
to this separation" 1t must, however,
The herald., 1896-04-13

be conceded that our position has been
and is a very delicate one, from the fact
that there is a personal element which
we cannot eliminate from the contro-
Versy because of our family relation
ship from the founder and leaders of
the Salvation Army. 1t has been re-
peatedly asked why we do not publish
our letter of January l, which has been
so wrongfully quoted, as our resigna-
tion. That letter being a private COM
munication from son to father and
brother, we have not felt that we could
honorably,l it public. The receivers
of the letter are at personal liberty to
40 so. providing they print it intact. III
justice to our present position, it must
be stated with emphasis that no one
letter embraces all the reasons for our
inability to accept another command,
but that letters covering a period of
nearly two years past, and also those of
later date than the 31st of January, are
necessary to an understanding of the
situation, especially the letter of April
s. 1896
Upon receipt of orders to leave Amer
lea we wrote letter dated January 10,
asking ii International headquarters
had taken into consideration all the
consequences of the change of COM
mand at that particular time. The feel
ing toward England then existing in
this country, the heavy financial re-
sponsibility of our new building and our
own peculiar and unfortunate relations
with the general (from whom we had
received no communication of any
character for nearly six months) made
it appear to us a most unfortunate and
1ll-advised step. This letter was fol-
lowed by others from us stating that we
were preparing to fulfill their orders
and to relinquish our command.
"On January 81 we wrote London stat
ing some of our reasons for being unable
consclentiously to accept another COM
mand but making it plain that we did
not wish to iniure the army. To preclude
the possibility of the statement being
made that we were unwilling to obey

PfiYileged Prisoner

SAN FRANCISCO, April ia. Fl.
Dean, alias Frank Several, alias D. w.
Wood, who, with Joseph McCloskey, alias
Shan were arrested in St. Paul for OBJ
tanning $4,000 on a forged check from
the Nevada bank, has consented to
plead guilty in order to save his part
ner in crime. Every effort is being
made to secure short term of imprison
ment for Dean. McCloskey and Dean
occupy one of the best cells in the city
prison. They are accorded every privi
lege. and allowed to see visitors at any
hour. Every day they are allowed to
leave the prison IN company with De-
tectives Whitaker and Seymour and
visit various places of amusement To-
day they took a trip to the Cliff house,
and on their return were met by two
well-dress rather handsome young wo-
men, who accompanied them to the city
prison. They remained for some time
and promised to assist Dean in getting
off with a light sentence. Who the
women were Dean refused to state.

had been concluded. More crack rid
ers, better time. few accidents and an
infinity of chance went to add to the
interest, and even though the outcome
is disappointment to some, the gener-
al glory of participation is not abated
in the least. The official time was 4
hours, 56 minutes and 121h seconds.
Some protests have grown out of the
race, but none of them are serious
enough to affect the result, except it
be that of the Garden City cyclers
against the Bay City wheelmen for rae
ing c. o. Crofts and Williamson, who,
it is claimed. have not been members
of the club for sixty days.

WONDERS OF THE ANTARCTIC
Belief Among Scientists That n New Race
May BE Found There.

| Belief Among Scientists That New Race
May BE Found There.
From Harper's Weekly.
Three great British scientific societies
are agreed that il is the duty of the
British government to fit out an expe-
dition for thorough antarctic explora-
tion. In November. 1898. the Royal
Geographical socety appointed a nota-
BILE committee to inquire into the pro-
priety of such an expedition and re-
port. They reported in favor of having
the government send two suitable ves-
sells to explore the south polar regions
and keep them at il for three years.
The report was adopted and transmit
ted to the Royal society, which, in
turn, appointed a powerful committee,
which, in May. 1894, reported strongly
in favor of the scheme. At the begin
ming of the present year the council Of
the British association gave the plan
it's vigorous Endorsement, and IL doubt
| less took further action on ii at it's re-
| cent annual meeting in September. The
| plan OF DR.. John G.. Murray of the
Challenger. who addressed the Royal
| Geographical society on the subject
| two years ago, was to send out two
suitable government steamships of
about 1000 tons each. have them start
| In September, land a company OF about
| 10 men somewhere south of Cape Horn
| and another in Victoria Land, and
have these parties spend two years or
more ashore exploring the antartic
continent. The ships would land the
| shore parties the first summer, visit
them the second. and take them off the
| third, and would spend their own win
| ters and all their other available time
| i'm deep sea and other observations
along the outer margin of the antartic
| ice.
What may be found on the antarctic
| continent no man can say. Animal life
| in abundance was found last year at
| Cape Adair by c. f. Boregrevink,
young Norwegian. who sailed there as
| one of the crew of whaler and whose
account of his experiences excited
| great interest at a recent geographical
| congress I'm London. Mr.. Bochgrevink
wants to go back. and writes to the
London Times pressing for further
and immediate research within the an
tarctic circle" 1t is held to be possible
| that a new race of men may exist
somewhere within hail of the south
pole. and that such creatures as the
ichthyosaurus may still survive in the
antarctic seas. Seals and sea birds are
abundant there. What else no one can
say. but many inquisitive persons want
to know.
Our countryman, DIR. Frederick Cook,
greatly desired to fit out an American
south polar expedition to start out this
fall and catch the next antarctic sum-
mer. but his efforts in that direction
seem not yet to have come to anything
Perhaps he will do better another year,
but, at any rate, there seems a real
prospect that a serious attempt to find
out whatever can be known about the
antarctic continent will be made before
the present century ends.
