The Salvation Army.

New York, Oct. 4.-Twelve tugs and
three sidewheel passenger boats laden
with enthusiastic soldiers of the Saliva
ton Army met the steamer Philadelphia
at Quarantine this morning, and gave a
hearty reception to General William
Booth, the head of the Salvation Army.
The army was out in full force, crowd
ing the steam craft to overhowing, way
ing flags, and the popping of cannon and
giant crackers with accompanying cheers
and singing made as mnch din as that of
the occasion Of the arrival of Admiral
Dewey. The music and singing were
continued until the steamer and the ac-
companying feet passed out of sight up
the bay. Mascagni, the famous opera
composer and portion of his company,
were on the Philadelphia. The steam
boat John Sylvester, was on hand with
party of friends to greet him, but the
vociferous greeting Of the Salvation
Army for their chief so overshadowed
that of the Italian friends of Mascagni,
that they could only look on and occa-
sionally gesticulate. General Booth is
going to make another tour of this
country. The object Of General Booths
visit is to inspect the Army in America,
to hold important conferences with the
officers. and to forward the Army's
work. On Friday, October 10, the Cen

Mr.. RidgeIy and the Banks.

New York, Oct. 4.-The New York
News Bureau sends out the following
statement regarding the Ridgely national
bank incident OF yesterday: "In the
ordinary course of business yesterday the
New York News Bureau received from
its regular Washington correspondent a
dispatch which it published. the sub
stance of which was that certain ma
tional bank had taken advantage of the
permission of the Secretary of the
Treasury to release the 20 per cent.
reserve heretofore required to be held
against deposits of government money
secured by government bonds, and had
its bank statement held up by Comp
troller of the Currency Ridgely, who re-
fused to approve the same until the full
% per cent. reserve should be recovered
The statement in the dispatch was chal-
lenged on purely technical grounds.
Comptroller Ridgely made an official
statement in the afternoon denying the
report that | chez had overruled or shall
attempt to override the Secretary of the
Treasury in the matter of reserve on
government deposits secured by govern
ment bonds. Mr.. Ridgely does not
deny the assertion of fact made in the
Washington dispatch published by us.
We have learned from our Washington
correspondent that heinformation came
from an official of the Treasury Depart
ment, who was entirely qualified to
speak as to the facts. We must follow
the invariable custom of reputable news
papers in refusing to give up the names
of our informant"
