SALVATION ARMY COLONIZATION.
Commander Booth Tucker UnfOIds
His Plan.

New York, Nov. SO.-There was great
audience in Carnegie hall tonight when
Commander Booth-Tucker of the Salvation
Army unfolded his plan to colonize the UNI
employed 1t is his intention to have his
plan in operation within six weeks. The
colony is to be settled in Western Color
ado, and territory enough to accommodate
several thousand persons has been OBJ
tanned.
Commander Booth-Tucker said: THE
plan of the Salvation Army is to trans
port the surplus population from our cities
to the vast tracts of fertile lands which
have been placed at our disposal varying
in extent from 1000 to 100000 acres and
including twenty-three different states in
the west and south. Smaller tracts have
also been offered to us in the east, and it
is our purpose to form a chain of colonies
which shall girdle the continent with help
and hope, and shall form stepping stones
from the dismal abyss of poverty to the
happy homes of prosperity, which shall
constitute our poor mans paradise. In
the fertile valley of the Arkansas, in Col
orado, tens of thousands of acres await US
with a climate and soil which can hardly
be surpassed.
ut is our purpose to divide there tracts
of irrigated land into five and ten-acre
blocks, to erect upon them a small cottage
and to make such preparations as NAV be
necessary for the welfare of the, colonjsts.
Not only is the land there but the col
onists are eagerly awaiting the signal TO
take possession of it with an activity
which has surprised us. They have re-
sponded to our call from every portion of
the United States. They will be selected
by us with the utmost care and placed in
communities where there is every prospect
of their success.
There is only one missing link required
to perfect the chain. To carry out the plan
upon the large scale which shall be worthy
of our nation and worthy of the emergen-
cy which faces us, win require a consid-
cradle amount of capital This We do not
propose to ask for in the shape of gifts,
but as loans bearing interest al per cent,
and repayable in period of ten years. We
propose to raise Immediately a fund of 81
100000, with which we shall be able to
place 200 families of 1000 souls upon
1000 acres of good Irrigated land. We
shall form a cooperative loan association
on the German model, thus enabling the
colonists to have some money in hand for
the purchase of stock"
When the blanks had been circulated
among the audience it was announced
that Elizabeth Livingston had given 81, 900.
a secret subscription IS 1000, ex-Gov. Flower
$500 and John Mulholland $1,000.
There were a large number of small
subscribers and at the close of the meet
ing It was stated that nearly $4,000 toward
the movement had been raised.

reporter yesterday with the following list
as his estimate of the manner in which
the vacancies are likely to be filled:
Tax Assessor-Philip NJ. Russell.
Fire Commissioner-Merritt w. Dixon.
Police COmmissioner-Jorda F. Brooks.
Water Commission-W. G. Cam.
Park and Tree CommisSioner-C. S. Ellis.
This is the fifth mention of the names
of Judge Russell and Col. Dixon for the
positions named. The suggestions will
meet with a ready response however,
on the part of numerous friends of these
gentlemen. Col. Dixon was chairman of
the fire committee during one term in
work of the department. Judge Russell
was a number of years clerk of the city
court and is too well known to need
further mention.
There are others, however. Mr.. John
T. Rowland is spoken of as one of the
possibilities for the vacancy on the board
of tax assessors. Mr.. Rowland was an
active member of the Liberal Club in the
las campaign and his friends want TO
see him appointed.
The Senate having decided against the
administration in the matter of the com
missions it is understood that the fight
against the fire commissioners will be con-
tinued and the case pushed before the
supreme court. If this tribunal should
reverse the decision of Judge Falligant
and decide in favor of the right of coun-
ell to try and remove the commissioners
the members of that body could then be
put on trial before council. In case of
conviction, however, the commissioners
would have the right of appeal to the
superior court, and the losing side could
then carry the case to the supreme court.
No matter how the matter goes 1t is evil
dent that the agony will be long drawn

CANDIDATES FOR COMMISSIONS.
The Slate For the Coming Vacancies
Pretty Well Made Tn.

The commissions are on top. The peo-
pie who like them and the people who do
not will have to get along with the pres
ent state of affairs for some time to come.
The vote by the Senate of 2S to 2 settled
this point 1' p"
The announcement of the vote yester-
day created no great surprise, though the
Liberals were in hopes of making a better
Showing. The Citizens were .fhappy, of
course. But ii, was a case OF Just as 1
expected" with them. The Liberals are
sore, and they do not attempt to conceal
the fact. a feeling of disgust comes over
them whenever the Georgia Senate is
mentioned. The Senate does not stand as
high in their estimation as it did.
The question is now as to how the com
missions and the administration will get
along, and what course they will adopt
towards each other The commissioner
ships are recognized as places of impor-
tance to the city government, whether re-
garded with favor by the administration
or not, and as such an effort will be made
to secure the best men for the places. The
new appointments in January will give
the administration a voice in the control
of the departments under commissions. and
If the right men are appointed, their in
HueHce VIII pe coilSlueTaDle. In case or
difference between the two holdover com
missioners of either the fire, water or DO
lice commissions, as to the retention of
the present executive officers of those de-
partments, the incoming commissioner
would have the deciding vote. 1t is not be-
yond the bounds of possibility that such
a contingency may arise.
Naturally the fact that the commissions
are to stand, brings on more talk as to the
possible appointees TO the vacancies which
will occur in January. A well known Lib

mnistration, furnished a Morning News

HEALTH DEPARTMENTS NEEDS.
DIR. LeHardy's RecOmme datiOns to
the Sanitary board.

DIR. LeHardy's Recomme datiOns to
the Sanitary Board.
Health officer LeHardy called the atten-
ton of the sanitary board yesterday aft
ernoon to several items for which he de-
sired provision made In the appropriation
to the health department in the budget for
next year.
Dr. LeHardy stated that he considered
it important that a specific sum be set
aside for meteorological, microscopical, and
chemical examinations, as instances fire.
quently occur where it is desirable that
such examinations be made. He recon-
mended that a small supply of diphtheria
anti-toxin be kept on hand that it might
be ready for use at any time whenever
case of the disease appears.
Some means of testing milk for the dis
covery of the existence of tuberculosis and
other diseases in cows is also needed. A
disinfecting wagon, to cost $3.50 to $500, is
needed to save the destruction of clothing
and household goods where cases of con-
tagious disease have occurred. Blank
books for keeping records of deaths, births
and marriages were also recommended
Several applications have been made to the
health officer for the dates of births of
children, and in no instance was he able
10 IuTnlSn any information. weekly ana
monthly mortality reports are received by
the health officer from various cities. He
desires to return the courtesy and that
proper blank forms be provided for this
purpose.
An important recommendation made by
the health officer is that there should be
a weekly inspection of the public schools
by the city physicians so that children
suffering from communicable and parasitic
diseases may be separated from the others
and sent home for treatment. number
of the school children came to the health
officer for vaccination at the opening of the
schools, and in this way several instances
of such diseases came under his observa-
ton, more especially diseases of the
scalp.
The recommendation for floating disin-
fecting plant and other improvements at
quarantine will be made through the har-
Dor and wharves committee, who have ju-
risdic ton of this work.

FLORIDA's CAPITAL CITY.
No More Money Available For PEN
siOns-TriaI of Collins.

Tallahassee, Fla, Nov. 30.-While appn-
cations for pensions continue to come in
rapidly, the state pension board has sew
eral times announced that no more pension
cases will be considered until next April.
The following letter. recently sent out by
Gen. David Lang, secretary of the board.
ought to make this matter plain to every
one: mo money is available for the pay
ment of new pension claims, the $65, 900 ap-
propriated by the legislature being only
sufficient to pay the claims of those all
ready enrolled as pensioners, and the half
mill tax authorized for the payment of
new claims not being collectable until
April, 1885, the board has determined to
postpone action on all pending claims un.
til after that time. There are now pend
ing nearly 700 claims, representing about
$4,000, to be provided for, while the half
mill tax is expected to net only about $40
900. When it becomes available the most
meritorious of the claims filed will be Sc
lected and allowed, and the remainder will
have to wait until further appropriations
are made.
All applicants will be promptly notified
of any action taken on their claims.

became unruly in Lanes saloon, near the

The recorder is confronted daily with re-

for drunkenness to allow them another

this offense, and released on condition their

In such case Recorder Hartridge uses
