THE TORY EXODUS.

Mr. Hosmer pictures wildly the departure Of
these Royalsts. most OF whom were men OF
wealth and consideration In the Colony. As the
dignifed gentlemen who prided themselves
on their faithfulness to the King turned the key
in the front doors Of their mansions and rolled
away to the ship In the family carriage with
wife and children. they doubtless imagined that
the trouble would soon be over. and that they
would return In triumph. At first they were

CHICAGO, March D.-Ballington Booths
followers in Chicago fired the first volley
for the new American Volunteers yester-
day afternoon at hall on the west side
in close proximity to the Salvation Army
headquarters. Msjors Blackhurst and
Trumble, who arrived from New York to
organize the Chicago contingent were
greeted with cheers mingled with count
less ''amens" and "hallclujahs'' when
they explained the cause of the revolt.
Many former prominent members of the
Salvation Army grasped them by the
hand and co-operatcd in the organization Of
the Volunteers. One hundred others en-.
listed at the afternoon meeting, and the
number was increased in the evening.
Major Blackhurst was the principal
speaker. He said the fundamental cause
of the whole trouble was the fact that
Ballington was in too close touch with
American ideas, which conflicted with
those in London. This was a revolution
for right and liberty. The major con.
lrmed the rumor that General Booth had
once ordered down the American flag in a
certain office of the Salvation Army ut
New York.
