GREAT OVATION TO BOOTH.
Rendered the Salvation Army Founder in Carnegie Hall.

New York, Oct. GA great ovation was accorded tonight to General Will liam Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, at Carnegie hall, which was crowded to it's utmost capacity, while hundreds were turned away from the doors. General Booth was introduced by Mayor Low, who presided and who paid an eloquent tribute to the great work done by the army in New York.
 General Booth reviewed the achieve ments of the army in all quarters of the globe and made an earnest plea for the rescue of the 'Slum class" in Amer ica, which he declared was rapidly in- creasing in numbers. Among promi- nent people who occupied seats on the stage were: Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, Charles V. Fornes, president of the board of aldermen; Comptroller Ed ward M. Grout, J. c. Havemeyer, Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hills, Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, Rev. Dr. R. s. Macarthur, Rev. Dr. s. P. Cadman and Theodore Sutro.

There were lively times at the meet ing of the board of aldermen last night over the matter of adopting a suitable report to send to President Roosevelt yoicing the sentiments of the New Ha- ven people on the present coal situa- 1 tion.
 At the last meeting of the board a committee was appointed to act on the resolution of Alderman Trueman which was presented at that time. The com- mittee, which was composed of five all dermen and four citizens. met and after a public hearing failed to come to unanimous agreement as to the report to be sent to Washington. Some ot the members wanted a resolution more radical than Alderman Trueman's orig inal one, and it was partly for this .pur- pose that they were appointed. It was stated at the public hearing that some thing stronger than the first report should be sent as coming from an ottl- cial source in this city, but the report that was adopted and drawn up by the majority of the committee was some what milder than the first one. On this account the other members of the com mittee who attended the hearing decid' ed to hand in a majority report, whicf was strong one and recommended that the president declare the coal lands public property.
 The minority report prevailed on z vote of 12 to 10, and was as follows:

ANOTHER MERCER SUIT.
Minority StoekhoIder Brings Action
 Against she Alton Deal.

Chicago, Oct GA bill attacking the validity of the lease entered into be- tween the Chicago and Alton Railroad company and the Chicago and Alton Railway company in April, 1900, by which all of the property owned by the former was transferred to the latter for a period of ninety-nine years, was filed in the circuit court to-day by Hem " D. Laughlin, minority stockholder in the Chicago and Alton Railroad com pany. Laughlin declares that E. H. Hartman and his associates, including George J. Gould, M. F. Schiff, James Stillman and others, secured coptroll- ing interest in the Chicago and Alton Railroad company and after executing the lease caused fictitious issue and
 increase of corporation stocks and bonds by which the holders of the ma iority of the stock of the Chicago and Alton Railroad company greatly profit ed and the minority stockholders corre- ] spondingly lost'' This process, Laugh lin declares, is "vulgarly known as a soueeZe' "
