WAUKEaAN. ILL.,, Oct. John Alex
ander Dowie expects that as a result Of his
invasion Of New York next week $50 900 600
will pour into lions exchequer.
So positive Ia he that this will occur that
to-day he announced to his people at Zion
City that as soon as the crusade IL over he
will begin plans tor the establishment Of
two more Zion cities.
One will be on the Pacific Coast the other
on the Atlantic. He states that he has
practically decided upon the Western site.
but ia looking about forla desirable site for
the Eastern.
The cities will be patterned after the
Illinois Zion which Dowie says Ia the only
model city ever known. These cities will
be in existence inside of five years. he
declares.
After this Dowie says he will not be sat-
isfied with converting large cities like New
York. but will go after whole States at q
time until he has converted to Dowieism
all OF the States. He did not say which
State he would go after first.
Elijah II. felt very jubilant to-day and
announced that yesterday he received a
letter saying that II his New York crusade
went well "a certain individual would give
him $500, OOo." Dowie said the person was
a we'll known citizen of Chicago and the
announcement of his name would cause
great surprise.
On the trip to New York. which starts on
Wednesday Of next week, Dowie says there
will be no accidents to his trains, for all
railroad wrecks are caused by the devil
and crime and as neither will be found in
Zion trains there can be no accidents.
Though Dowie said the devil would not
be on the trains going to New York. he adj
mitted that Satan was near him to-day
In Shiloh tabernacle. for he remarked,
when several babies cried during his ad-
Dress 1T seems strange that the devil
keeps molesting us this afternoon He
ordered several babies removed because
they disturbed him.
On Monday night his restoration host
will meet In Shiloh Tabernacle, and he
asked his people to pray that he be en-
dowed with more power, that his voice
would be improved for the occasion.
Each Of his Restorationists will keep a
diary on the trip East and must keep strict
account Of everything done. These will
be gathered up on the return and In this
way Dowie will learn what his people have
done for him.
Mrs.Dowie will accompany him on the
last train, leaving Zion on Wednesday
Oct. II, and she will not return to Zion be-
fore going on her trip to Europe.
She reaches England Nov. "a and Aus
tralia on Jan. 10. Dowie will 60 to Eng
land on Jan. 8 and then meet his wife in
Australia. returning by way Of India.
On this tour Of the Orient, Dowie says he
will spread Dowieism and after his return
he expects to begin plans for spreading
his teachings more extensively in Japan
and China and will likely pay those coun-
tries visit himself.

meetings has been issued. They will be
