 Boston, Oct 24.-The Iolanthe reached Boston shortly before o'clock. After 1t was drawn up into the station the only signs of life to be noted within 1t were the dim rays of light seen around the edges of the curtains and the mov ements of the butler through the undraped window of the pantry At 8 o'clock there were evidences that &he inmates of the car were at break fast, and at S:30 when efforts on the part of those outside to reach pr Dowie were repeated, the prophet came to the door and said that he
 would speak with those desiring him to do so. Just before 9 o'clock the promise was kept, Dowie stepping out
 upon the car platform. He was dressed for. the street, and his wife and son followed him, also having on outer wraps.
 Dowie said that he had come to Bos- ion with Mrs Dowie and their son to
 see them safely on board the vessel Tn which they were to sail to-day for England, on their way to Australia
 He said he would be here but a short time. as he intended to start back fo | New York as soon as the steamer
 sailed
 At this point the preacher was told of report which had been published that he intended to sail with his wife. abandoning his New York crusade. Dowie denied with great positiveness. though without apparent anger. the truth of tie renort. He said that it was absolutely false that he had no
 intention Of sailing for England and 2that he should return to take up his
 work in New York. starting this after uoon.
 Immediately after the brief talk. < Towie and his party took carriag for the steamship dSck at East Bos-
 ton whence Mrs Dowie and her son
 were to sail
 The Dassage of the prophet from the South terminal station to the steamer wharf was marked by comparatively nothing unusual A score or more of
 
 presence ofsthe private car. and as the party entered their carriages word was passed quickly as. to the identity of \ s$he venerable looking man. but there wa $ mo xcrowding. or demonstration of any sort. The trip. across the. city was made quickly. At the dock carriage lcontAining Mrs Stern the private sec. retary to Mrs Dowie. and the valet to. ,5-41 Ia %J,o T1o or4S The .tra velers did not go at once on board the steam mer but remained on the wharf conversing
 A number of newspaper men who had gathered at the dock attracted the attention of pr Dowie and he granted an interview, in which he repeated what had been said previously at the station. and added that there was noth- ing unusual about his coming to Bos- ton. or about his wife's trip to Aus tralia. He said that the event had been under consideration for the past eight months and that he was losing nothing by being away from New York to-day, as the scheduled meeting had provided for a day off. ssI shall go back to New York at 7 0 clock said Dowie 'and continue the meetings at Madison Square Garden until November 1. Beginning Noyem- her shall hold five days session in Carnegie hall.'
 d Dr Dowie then referred again to the
 stories published concerning his al legged surreptitious departure for Aus tralia, to-day, saying that nine-tenths of the stories published about him
 were ''unmitigated lies.'' He said that he was going to Australia June 1, but ] that he should go by way of the Pa I cific and that '.by the grace of God my wife and I will meet in Australia some %ime next year."
 From the time the Zionite leader ap- peared at the door of his car in the South station to the time of his going | aboard the steamer with his party he
 gave evidence of nothing but most l kindly disposition. When interrupted at breakfast he showed no irritation, and when he appeared his first words were Peace be with you.'' Tn the course of the interview on the dock Dr Dowie seemed desirous of being friend a ly with the reporters. He referred to them as "the boys" He consented 5 pose in various attitudes for them to
 take his photograph and once when Mrs Dowie apparently thought he was talking too much anG came to his side i to interrupt. he said: "My dear, I am talking to the boys now. Please go and sit down
 After the interview with the news 4 paper men Dr Dowie accompanied his
 wife to her stateroom. Dr Gladstone Dowie and the other members of the party followed.
