tie desirabiity of him taking hold of it.
The letters that Gen. Booth has received
on the subject, both from this city and
from other places i'm the United States
where the work of the union has made an
impression. have rot explained the work
of the crganZa ton thoroughly, judging
from reply sent to Mr. Bailey. so that 1t
is deemed advisable to have him made
thoroughly aware Of the situation, in the
hope of inducing him to accept.
What Mr.. Bailey Says.
Mr.. Bailey in talking to a Star reporter
today. said: II received lately several let
ters from various parts of the country
suggesting to me that il Ballington Booth
had determined TO leave the Salvation
Army, an effort should be made TO enlist
him in the work of limiting and extending
gospel MISSIONS. wtlJeh are increasing 50
rapidly in this country and are doing such
vast amount Of good. The suggestion
seemed to me to have some merit.
thought it would be unfortunate FOR him
to engage in rivalry with the Salvation
Army, which must. be the Inevitable re-
suit of new movement patterned after
the old methods. while if he We're simply
to join the gospel mission movement no
antagonisn with his old associates would
exist. l wrote to Mr.. Booth briefly on
the subject. The reply was very cordial,
but he had already determined to start a,
movement among the middle artisan
class inferred from this that his plans
are sun very lnueIlnlte. and that he really
does OF understand the scope of the mis-
sion movement. for that is Just what We
do reach the laboring man, though, of
course, We do not relieve the reeds of the
poor in winter. shall CORES pond with him
further or the subject, and with some of
the prominent persons Sho are said to be
his hackers in his new movement.
The Most Extensive Movement.
THE gospel mission movement has not
att1 acted the public attention which its i'm
portance merits. 1t is the most extensive
movement in this country for reaching the
laboring classes, and its progress is simply
astonishing. We now, in a year from or
gaEization, number nearly fifty missions,
scattered all over the country, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and the entire
property represented by these missions will
aggregate over two hundred thousand dol
lars. If l were foot loose, as General
Booth seems to be just now, l would con-
slider it the opportunity of my life to lead
the movement 1t is emphatically an
American movement, with no Objectionable
military attachments, not centralized, but
thoroughly democratic, not in rivalry
with the churches or antagoI,istic to them,
but in close sympathy with them and re-
markably successful in reaching the COM
con people who are outside of ordinary
church influences. The possibilities of this
movement are simply immense. If the
hackers of Mr.. Booth only realized the
fact these missions are the shortest road
to the hearts of the artisans of this coun-
try''

eral Baratieri. These apparently unjust
comments upon his conduct of the campaign
seem to have goaded him to push forward
when good generalship would have avoided
such a step until the plans for the advance
upon the Tigre were completed, which is not
believed to have been the case, as over 5000
reinforcements were on their way to General
Baratieri when the news of his utter defeat
was flashed from Massowah.
Politics. it also appears. may have en-
tered somewhat INTO the situation, for Ra-
ratieri was a recently elected deputy elect
ed as a mark of public appreciation of his
previous victories in Africa), and he was
known to have formed political ambitions,
possibly aiming at the war portfolio when
he met the great check which has forced
him out of political and military life for
ever.
'If he had only waited for his reinforce
ments,'' say his friends. And there seems
to be the key to the whole trouble The
general did not wait for his reinforcements
and the real cause for his failure to do so
may be found in his possible political fu-
ture, which was threatened by the 1aunts
of certain newspapers at his alleged mac
tivity when. as everybody now sees clear
quite time longer.
But the new troops also meant the COM
ing of a new commander, and, although
Baratieri denies 1t, this may have been an
other feature of the case and another in
direct cause of the great disaster.
Sensational Reports of Reverses.
LONDON, March 13.-The government
was questioned in the house of commons
today regarding the sensational reports cir
culated by news agency that the Italians
had suffered additional reverses in Africa
recently. The under secretary of state for
the foreign office, Mr. George N. Curzon,
in reply. said that the government had
no news of the reported reverses in which
the Italian garrison of Sabdevati, between
kassala and Agordat, had been compelled
to retreat to the hills.
Mr. Curzon added that the telegraph line
from kassala TO the north was open,
showing. he added, that nothing important
had happened.
Mr. Curzon also promised. on Monday
next, to make a statement to the house in
regard to the reports that British Egyptian
troops were to be moved from Wady Halfa
up the Nile and in the direction of Dom
COLA, in order to make a diversion and
thus assist the Italian troops, which had
been pressed by the Abyssinians.

Mayor SutrO Comments Oh Mr.. Hunt
ingtoD's Assertions.

inStOD's Assertions.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.-California
read the report of the testimony given by
c. P. Huntington yesterday before the
House committee on Pacific railroads with
mingled feelings Of amusement and indig-
nation.
In discussing the public feeling in Cali
fornia with regard to the Central Pacific
funding scheme Mr.. Huntington is said 10
have remarked that there We're perhaps
100 people in the state who are opposed 10
the project.
How near Mr.. Huntingtons estimate is
to the truth may be judged from the fol-
lowing statement made by Mayor Sutro:
"Of the 100000 persons in California it
may safely be said that 100000 are op-
posed TO the funding bill. The 100000 who
favor the scheme are bankers, who hold the
bonds of the company, and people under
the control of the company. 1t is out
rageous that Huntington should have the
effrontery to tell such barefaced falsehoods
to a congressional committee. He would
have Congress believe that 1 am the only
man in the state who is opposed to the
funding bill when, as a matter of fact, the
sentiment here is almost unanimously
against it. 1t will be the greatest calamity
that ever befell a state if Huntington sue
ceeds in hoodwinking Congress to pass the
bill. The funding scheme proposed by SEN
ator Morgan will be fairly acceptable"

BALLINGTON BOOTH
Effort to Have Him Take Charge of the
National Gospel Mission Union.
What Mr.. Bailey Says of the Steps
Taken and Of the Extent of
the Movement.

Last week negotiations were opened from
this city looking to having Ballington
Booth take charge of the National Gospel
Mission Union, which was organized in
Washington less than year ago and which
still retains it's headquarters here. Mr. f.
d. Bailey, one of the officers of the Mission
Union. wrote today to Maj. George A. Hill
ton, the national organizer, asking him if
he couldn't arrange his work SO that the
matter might be placed before Gen. Booth
in proper light. Maj. Hilton is now at
Montrose, Pa, in the northeastern part of
the state. within a few hours ride of New
York, so that Gen. Booth need not be sur
prised to receive a visit from him next
week. especially as Maj. Hilton has had
the idea in view himself and has suggested
