WITH LUSTY CHEERS
Birth Of a Rival Organization of the
Salvation Army.
BALLINGTON BOOTH ONTOP
Cooper Union Is the Scene of the
Widest Religious Demonstra-
tion Ever Witnessed Within It's
Walls-Music and 9peeches.

New York. March s.-The inaugural
step made by Ballington Booth in a
rival organization on lines similar to
the one from whose command he was
released. met success tonight. Cooper
Union was the scene where the first
gun was fired, the echo OF which thrill
ed the hearts OF 5000 loyal soldiers.
Every seat In the big auditorium was
occupied. The aisles were crowded and
the streets outside were thronged.
Shortly after o'clock. Captain
Schneider of the Bowery corps. sprang
on chair on the platform and waved
an American flag with a painting OF
George Washington. The audience
cheered Justify. Major Peter Glen ap-
peared on the platform waving an
American flag and placed a 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. 1t was only
when Ballington Booth and his wife
arrived that the audience lost control
of itself. Their presence on the plat
form was the signal for an outburst OF
enthusiasm such as never before has
been witnessed in Cooper Union
There was some music and singing
and the customary religious invoca-
tions. after which Ballington Booth
rose and said: Mrs. Booth and myself
have not come here tonight to allude
to the recent sad trouble. After ma
ture deliberation we have decided to in
augurate a new movement Recogniz-
ing that there was room In America
for one. two, aye 100 Salvation armies.
we have resolved to the best of our
ability to win over the middle class OF
the artisans OF this country. We wish
no strife with the Salvation army.
Il want to assure Mrs. Booth and
those officers who have stood by me
that l see In the distance a movement
which tonight has received Its impetus
In this great gathering. do not want
anything that exists in the air, but a
genuine conservation OF our soldiers TO
the faith OF Christ. There Is at least
As per cent. of the wage-earning popu-
lace 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 1000 years
ago.
Mrs. Booth and myself have within
the last few days been reading the his
tory OF that great American soldier.
George Washington. whose portrait
stands on this platform. We thought
Of him and his goodness of heart and
love of Christ as he turned away for
n 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 under
take IL will bear the right stamp and
will be moved In the right direction"

that the utmost energy of the authorities
fails to prevent demonstrations of the
hostility toward the United States. says
the press everywhere deprecates prema-

fanta Eulalie has sent a friendly message
to the New York World.
Ten thousand persons were engaged at
Valencia in a demonstration organized
and led by well-known republicans. They
made a noisy display before the French
consulate and public buildings before GO

civic guards opposed itself. Shots were
heard and the guards responded with
their carbines and charged repeatedly be-

CORPSES IN A BARREL.
A Grewsome Find aud the Significant TEL
ephone Cali.

Chicago, March s.-Carefuliy concealed
In barrel and covered with a mass OF
old rags and clothes. lay the dead body
of a gray-haired man and newborn baby
found in an alley in Hyde park to-day
In consequence the police are working on
what they think a double murder. This
forenoon the Office of Ralston's Hyde
park morgue was rung up on the tele-
phone and woman, who declined to give
either her name or address, asked IL the
body OF a man had been found in Hyde
park. The office attendant replied in the
negative and then questioned the woman,
but his best efforts failed to get any in
formation of a decided character. She as
tonished the morgue attendant by saying
that he would certainly learn more about
the case later on. Four hours later the
barrel with its CHASTITY contents was dis
covered in the rear of the house No. 4S29
Indiana avenue. The body OF the man tai
lied in almost every respect with the de-
scription furnished by the mysterious wo-
man over the telephone. In the barrel was
also the body of a boy not over three
days old.

While one car. heavily laden. was
waiting for another to pass, the switch

Ing both together. Both cars were bad
ly smashed and Sc passengers received
injuries more or less serious. Five of
these are thought to have been fatally

-Four men were probably fatally in

80 others less seriously injured. The
fatally injured are: ]. A Miken, A. M.

agent, NJ, K. & T. railroad: Richard

The Kirkwood Electric railroad had
Just been completed and crowds were
taking advantage of its big Sunday
excursions to patronize the line. Every
car was crowded. When the collision
occurred passengers were thrown in a
pile by the contact, which was terrible.
j. "A. Siken, motorman of the east
bound car, and Smith. motorman of the
westbound car, were taken out OF the
wreck with many bones broken. Ii is

taken out, some with limbs broken and
bodies bruised, but IL is thought that
no one will die as the result Of injuries
received. Between 20 and 30 others re-
ceived less serious injuries. Help was
sent from KirkwoOd. Webster Grove

City of Rio de Janeiro.
SHE'S A MAGNIFICENT BOAT
More Than $50 Passengers Sailed
on the Ship-Great Apprehen-
sion Is Felt Only a Bare
Hope That All Is Well.

San Francisco, March s.-The Pacific
Mall Steamship company's big liner,
the City of Rio de Janiero, which left
this port for the orient heavily laden,
on the 9Th of last month, should have
arrived at Yokohama on the 23d of
February, yet not a word has been
heard from her. At the east the agents
of the company declare that they have
received information of no sort regard
ing the steamers welfare or where
abouts since she glided out of the bay
on the afternoon of Feb. 6. The New
York Office of the company has been
wired incessantly by the local agents
but the reply comes regularly and
monotonously that as yet nothing has
reached them by cable concerning the
vessel.
The Rio left here with 15e people on
board, all told. OF these four were
cabin passengers and there were In the
steerage 10 Europeans, 10 Japanese
and 22 Chinese. The crew consisted of
40 white people and 70 Chinese. The
names of the Chinese and japanese are
not registered.
The list of the Rio de Janeiros white
crew is as follows: w. ]. Russell, cap
tain; j. f. Robinson, chief officer; ].
III. Matthews, chief engineer; o. X.
Freeman, purser; A. X. Tichener.

Mrs. j. G. Dorman. stewardess; George
Lancashire, butcher; Robert r. Kelly.
saloon watchman; ]. c. Spencer, steer
age watchman; N. G. Vow and 70 Chi
nese.
The one theory upon which the COM
pany's agents base the greatest hopes
is that the Rio, by force of bad wealth.
er OF other circumstances, was COM
PEELED to pass Yokohama without max
Ing her usual stop there. This would
not be considered altogether an un-
usual occurrence. 1t has happened sew
eral times during the past II years to
olher steamers IN the service of the
company. Should this be the case there
will be still longer period of anxiety.
for nothing can possibly be heard from
her in that event until she reaches
Hong Kong. Many shipping men feel
hopeful that she will shortly be report
ed from the Chinese port. The Rio de
Janeiro is one of the handsomest and
biggest vessels engaged in the Trans
pacific service of the Pacific mail. She
is four-masted. amply provided with
sails so that in case of damage to her
engines while at sea there would be
nothing to prevent her weathering her
way TO some nearby port with the use
of her canvas alone. When the Rio left
this port she carried a cargo of general
merchandise and bullion valued at
nearly a million dollars.
