Bay State Gas Company rlatter.

Argument was yesterday heard by
Judge Dallas In the United States Circuit
Court upon the point in controversary
whether tho suit Of Godfrey Morse and
others against the Bay State Gas Company
of Delaware for receivership, etc., for
the company should bo held to have boen
discontinued or whether certain other
bondh olders can intervene as parties
plaintiff and keep tho litigation alive
Counse representing the various inter-
ests In yolyed were before the Court on the
7th inst, when the taking of testimony
was to proceed before judge Dallas. Ow-
ing to an understanding having been
reached between the complalnants and
the defendants, under which tina suit was
settled a decree Of discontinuance of the
suit was prepared, and the taking OF tos.
timony did not go on.
Later in the day, however, before the de-
cree of discOntinuance was enfeiei, ex-
Senator Higgins asked to read n petition
under which Thomas L. Baxter, of Bos-
ton, who, it is stated, is the holder of $1,000
of the, income bonds of tho defendant CON-
pany, wants to intervene In 1.-The suit. In
this way thu mat er won't over until yestei :
dty morning, when the various counsel il .
terested again came into court, and it was
made known that there wore three other
petitioners, holdars of about $50, 600 OF the
bonds of tho company, who also want TO
intervene us parties plaintiff, and thereby
keep tn. Morse suit in force.
Tho argument was on tho question
whether thr bondholdcHs who want to i'll
tcrvone are In time to do SO, or whether
the suit OF Morse and others must not DO
con idcrpd to have been Discontinued, as
the agreement had been made and signed
by the parties Interested, although 1t was
not yet entered when Mr.. Higgins pre-
sented tho petition Of Mr.. Baxter.
Samuel Dickson, of counsel for tho
plaintiffs and intetycners, addressed tho
Court in favor Of admitting the petitions,
and Senator Gray, Of counsel for the dc.
fendant company, opposed the applica-
tion. Judge Dallas reserved his decision.

New York, Dec. 1l.-Communder Bal
lington Booth, for the first time since
his separation from the Salvation Army,
has received letter from his father,
General William Booth, of England.
asking for an interview when he the
generaD arrives in this country next
month In reply Commander Booth has
declared not only his willingness but his
pleasure at meeting the general, as
father and son, but adds: "As the OBJ
ject of the interview has already been
stated to be an amalgamation of the
Volunteers Of America with the Sal
walton Army, Mrs Booth and myself
wish 10 state with all emphasis that
considering the essential differences in
the government and principles of the
two organizations, such a union would
be inconsistent in the face of our peo-
pie and our God, and therefore i'm
possible.
1.-THE Volunteers of America is now a
thoroughly organized and recognized
religious movement, having nearly 700
commanding officers, exclusively en-
ployed. After Is months experience
we have proved that the work of reach
ing the unreached masses of this cOun-
try can be done equally well without
the limitations and restrictions involv-
ed in the form OF government of the
Salvation Army"
