that the alleged libel was due to misinforma-
tion he had received and there was nothing
left for him to do but publish a full retrac-
tion. This satisfied Mr.. Broughall and it
was agreed that after Editor Parker pub
fishes the retraction the District Attorney
will enter mol. pros.
The libel consisted of statement that
Mr.. Broughall exacted payment from men for
positions at the collieries over which he has

RUDINI THE PREMIER.
Crispis Opponent Again Heads tho Italian
Ministry.

ROME, March 9.-There is much diff
Guilty being found in the task of forming
Il new ministry. Slgnor Saracco declined
the responsibility, while the attempt to
form Saracco Rudini combination has
equally failed. 1t is announced this morn
ing, however, that the Marquis di Rudini
had succeeded in forming a cabinet, with
himself rs premier and minister of the in
terror General Ricotti minister of war,
Signor Brin minister of foreign affairs,
senior Perazzi minister of the treasury.
Admiral Racchia minister of marine, Sig
nor Guicciardini minister of finance and
Signor Granturco minister of Justice.
1t developed later that the formation of
the cabinet had been undertaken by Gen
eral Ricotti. King Humbert conferred
with General Ricotti at o clock last even
ing, and charged him with the formation
OF cabinet The result was q cabinet
made up as already cabled, General Ricotti
yielding to the Marquis di Rudini the
premiership and himself assuming the
portfolio for war, as indicated above
The choice of General Ricotti as minister
of war shows that the kings ideas have
prevailed in favor of reopening an often
sive campaign next autumn after the
rainy season. General Baldissera has or
dered the Cassala garrison to withdraw.

sprang on a chair on the platform and
waved an American flag with a painting
of George Washington. The audience
cheered Justify as they sprang to their feet
and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed Or
der had scarcely been restored when Major
Peter Glen, who was among the first of
the officers to tender his resignation after
Eva @. Booth had taken command, ap-
peared on the platform waving an Ameri-
can flag and placed life size crayon
painting of George Washington on an
easel in front of the speakers table This
was the signal for renewed outbursts of
applause. When Ballington Booth and
his wife arrived from their Montclair
home the audience lost control of itself
Their presence on the platform was tho
signal for an outburst of enthusiasm such
as had before never been witnessed in
Cooper Union.
There was some music and considerable
singing, and the customary religious in
vocations, after which Ballington Booth
rose and said:
Mrs. Booth and myself have not come
here tonight to allude to the recent sad
trouble. 1t is quite true we have after
mature deliberation decided to inaugurate
a new movement. Could we have avoided
it, it would most assuredly have been done
on our part but we recognize that the
great American people believed that we
had done work for nine years by which
they were gratifled, and would not listen
to the protest that we would retire into
private life.
Recognizing as we did the largest field
in the world and still further recognizing
that there was roo. IN America for a hun
dred Salvation armies, we have resolved
to the best of our ability to win over the
middle classes Of the artisan community
Of this country. We wish no strife with
the Salvation Army.
81 want to assure Mrs. Booth and those
officers who have stood by me that see
in the distance movement which tonight
has received its impetus in this great
gathering l do not want anything that
exists in the air, but genuine consecra-
ton of our soldiers to the faith of Christ.
''There is at least 46 per cent of the
wage earning populace of the community
who are not identified with any church or
place of religious worship 1t is these we
want to reach and extend to them the love
that inspired the Nazarine on the streets
Of Jerusalem nearly 1900 years ago.
"Ohl How much hateology, and how
little heartology thereis today. Mrs Booth
and myself have within the last few days
been reading the history of that great
American soldier George Washington.
We thought Of him and his goodness of
heart and love for Christ as ho turned
away for a moment from the frightful
scenes of Valley Forge and repaired to the
woods, where he knelt in prayer to the
God of his country.
Whatever be the mission we undertake
it will bear the right stamp, and will be
directed in the right direction. "

Knocked Out Lafierty, OF Girardville, at
VIM. Penn Saturday Night.
The much-talked-of fight between Will
lam Gibson, of PalO Alto, and Lafferty, of
was pulled off quietly at Wm
Penn Saturday night after the party had
been barred from this town and Mahanoy
Plane. The fight was for 500 a side and
Gibson was an easy winner Lafferty
showed great pluck and stood terrible
beating before being knocked out in the
eleventh round, but as to fighting he was an
easy victim. Lafierty saw his battle was a
hopeless one and wanted to quit in the ninth
round, but his friends would not allow him
to do so. In the language of one of them,
He got it into his head that he was Il
fighter and, while the money was up, we
made up our minds to keep him in the ring
until the idea could be knocked out of his
head"
The fight was witnessed by number of
sporting men from many parts of the region
and considerable money changed hands, as
Latlerty was the favorte before the fight
started.
