MR.BOOTH'S ULTIMATUM
ex-SaIvation Army Commander
States His Position.
FOR IND PENDENT M0ttMeNT
He thin the United States Are Large
Enough for Two Salvation
Armies.

New York, March 1-Rallington
Booth, ex-commander of the Salvation
Army in the United States. gave
statement tonight which is in part as
follows
Being continually pressed on all
sides to state definitely what action
will take, / desire to make known our
present position. God has called us to
work for Him. We dare not, therefore,
remain idle. We have also at heart
the interests of our country which SO
loudly calls to us to continue our mis-
sion.
Seeing that the people of the United
States. In an urgent and unmistaka
BILE manner, have voiced their desire
that we should inaugurate a movement
affording us an opportunity to continue
our labors for the uplifting of the un-
churched and unchristian people of our
country, and as there appears to be no
alternative between this course and re-
firing from public service, we have de-
cided on the former course of action.
1T is furthest from our desire that q
new and independent movement should
be hostile to the one that we have la
bored so long and hard to uplift. The
United States. with its vast and ever
increasing population, should offer am
pie room for such efforts without un-
christian warning.
I'VE can not at this juncture, over
done in body and overstrained in nerve,
give out the date when we shall resume
public work"

TO CONTROL SLEEPING CARS
Bill In Congress for Regulation Of Prices
by Law.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Congressman
Corliss of Michigan has introduced a
bill to extend the jurisdiction of the
interstate laws to sleeping and parlor
cars and to reduce the price of berths
and seats about 20 per cent. In addi-
ton. his bill provides that 1t shall be I'M
lawful for any porter or other servant
of the sleeping car companies to receive
tips from passengers. and the bill also
contains the usual provisions to prevent
the making up of upper berths before
they are sold. This bill Is meeting with
vigorous opposition on the part of par
lor car manufacturers, and particularly
the Pullman people. The house commit
tee which has the bill under considera-
ton is today giving the representatives
of these companies an audience, and
will probably make its final report Inn
mediately following the conference.
This bill is the result of the refusal Of
the companies to make a difference in
favor of their patrons between the price
of upper and lower berths.

SOCIAL DEMOCRATS ARE ACTIVE
London Propaganda in the Midst of
Series of Mass Meetings.

London, Feb. 29.-The social demo-
Gratis are in the midst of series of en-
thusiastic mass meetings, which are
being held in this and neighboring cit
les for the special purpose of molding
popular sentiment in anticipation Of the
great socialistic congress to be held in
this city in July. The principal speak
ers in the interests of the cause of So
cial democracy are H. NJ. Hyndman and
p. Byles, the liberal member of parlia-
ment for the Shipley division OF York
shire. Mr.. Hyndman asserts that the
only cure for economic troubles is the
substitution of production for use in
stead of for profit. and that it is the
duty of all social democrats to work in
unison for the naturalization of rail-
ways, free maintenance for children
and the organization of employed la
Dor on cooperative basis. He de-
plores the tendency of the large cities
to increase at the expense of the towns
and villages and points to the fact that
neither the liberal nor the tory party
has any adequate remedy to suggest
for this constantly growing evil. To
obviate the difficulty he recommends
the reform or obliteration of the pres
ent factory system.

fairly on Murphys neck. Murphy
swung his left and landed on the jaw,
following 1t up with right-hander on
the neck. Patterson went down like
a log and just saved himself from be-
ing counted out.
In the sixth round Murphy had Pat
terson at his mercy and pounded him
at will. finally Directing to the punish
ment he was infiicting. Patterson in
sisted on being knocked clear out of
the ring, but the referee awarded the
fight to Murphy.
The men fought under difficulties.
The determined action of the sheriff I'M
der orders from the governor to stop
the fight caused a change In the plans
and they had to elude pursuit the fight
ing party leaving this city at p. M.
The sheriff's train followed and the
state line for 10 miles was patrolled.
The main line of the St. Paul & Duluth
was followed to the station of Howell.
IS miles distant in Minnesota, where
there was no interference. The ring
was pitched on the ground, which the
snow had been shoveled from.

Does Not Want the u. s. Penitentlary
Removed to Walla Walla

Washington, d. c., March 1.-Some talk
which has been current in Tacoma re-
Gently relative to the rumored removal of
the United States penitentiary at McNeil's
island TO Walla Walla, eliminated in the
matter being brought to the attention of
Representative Doolittle by the Tacoma
chamber of commerce. Mr.. Doolttle went
at once to the department of justice and
made inquiry in regard to the rumor
He found that the removal had never
been seriously thought of, and the depart
ment stated that while the penitentiary
at McNeiPs island had proved somewhat
more expensive than such an establish
ment should be, in View of its usefulness
to the government it would continue to
be maintained until some better arrange
ment should be made than any that had
yet been proposed.
The benefits which accrue to Tacoma
from the present location of the peniten-
tiary are about $4,000 year, and the
business men of that city have no desire
to lose the profit that is to be made upon
expenditures to this amount which ac-
counts for the interest taken in the mat
ter by the chamber of commerce.
