Col Kitehing said that up to Satur- day General Booth showed solieitude for the work of the army.
 We had not expected the end quite so soon" Col Kitching continued. The general died very peacefully and quietly, without the slightest struggle. His breathing simply became less and less until it ceased altogether l think the operation may have accelerated death. but I do not believe it was the cause of his demise. l think perhaps the disappointment following the non return of the generals sight was a greater strain upon him than the oper- alton itself He was very buoyant un- til three weeks ago, when decided change for the worse occurred. After that time he gradually sank.
 When General Booth said from time to time that when the wires flashed around the world the news of his death they would also carry the name of his successor" Col. kitching added. he spoke metaphorieally. The announcement of his successor proba- bly will be made in day or two"

GENERAL WILLIAM BOOTH Head of Salvation Army.

then has led an independent organiza- ton, the Volunteers of America. An other son. Herbert, is widely known in evangelical work Lucy. a daughter, commands the army in Denmark, and Mary. another daughter worked with the General in London.
 General Booth began his evangelical career as a preacher in the slums of London when 15 years old. He ended it as head of an army of millions of Salvationists in hfty-four countries. His life often was in peril in real bat ties in the slums of London.
 General Booth was gifted with wonderful power to attract persons and win their abiding affection. He was impeuous in speech and original in ideas and was humorous to a keen degree. It is said his photographs never conveyed his real kindliness and distinguished appearance He was strong willed and upheld stanchly the equality of women with Wen
 Where General Booth will be buried has not vet been decided. While every English member of the Salva- tion Army is convinced that no man was more worthy of nterment in Westminster Abbey. 1t is not expected that the honor will be awarded to Gen. Booth by the Abbey authorities. It is the general belief that the commander in chiefs last resting place will be alongside that of his wife. who eleven years ago was buried in Abbey Park. Stoke Newington.
 Almost the last words of General Booth were uttered just before he lost consciousness. He was referring 10 Gods promises, and, speaking with great difficulty, said:
 They are sure-they are sure-it you will only believer
 IL Is probable that the ehseauies will include the lying-in-state for sew i eral days at Congress Hall, Clapton, | which will be followed by big me morial service and procession from i London to Abbey Park.

The vote of the U. S. Senate to allow American vessels to pass through the Panama Canal free while imposing tolls on all foreign vessels, has stirred up a spirit of threatening opposition among all European and Asiatic na- lions, who declare there will be re- taliation against American commerce which may lead 10 disastrous conse. quenes. The grounds for this retalia- ton are the promises and declarations of the American government when the great highway was started that It would be used by all nations on equal terms, and that the advantages allow ed 10 American vessels of free passage, while taxing all foreign vessels Is Vl- oiation of a national promise. PTesi- dent n aft and his administration justi- fy the imposition of tolls on foreign vessels using the canal because the great enterprise is owned and built by it's own money within its own territo- ". This Is right in an abstract sense, but the public promise by the nation before il WAS 4rtaken gives justifi' cation for the protest Of foreign powers The leading sentiment among the lead ing minds of this country is against the stand taken by our nation on the completion of the. canal in violation of its early promise to treat all vessels us- ing the canal on equal terms What the upshot of this threatening dispute may be is uncertain, but as the bill is still before Congress 1t may yet be modified to placate foreign nations.

 lions. for example. a little grove at the corner of Fourteenth street and Columbia road has been used as a playground and fitted up for the ehtl- dren. It was covered with oak trees of priceless value, as far as their shade qualities are concerned, and was one of the most picturesque spots in the city It Is in the heart Of thiekly settled district, where 1t is cruelty to keep children within doors and a continual danger to let them out on the streets.
 Nevertheless, Congress which would spend s75.000 for a federal building in a town of PSI inhabitants neglected to secure this breathing space. The magnificent oak trees are being cut down. and, where last summer the place was alive with de lighted children, a family hotel will stand
 Should Congress be in giving mood toward the shades of the de- parted, it is a question where suita- ble sites for memorials could be oo- tained. The demand for space Is in sistent. and the Senate committee on library has record of no less than eight requests. while the House com mittee doubtless has as many more. A bill appropriating s100,000 for a statue of Alexander Hamilton already has passed the Senate
 The sum of S50,000 is wanted for a statue to Matthew Fontaine Maury, the American naval officer whose scientific work descriptive of the sea is among the classics. A memorial to the signers of the Declaration of Independence is asked for. with an appropriation of s1O000 for plans alone. The modest sum of $500 is suggested for small statue to Cap tain Charles Wilkes. who is chiefly celebrated in popular recollection for taking Mason and Slidell. the confed- crate commissioners, from the British mail steamer Trent in 1861.
 Admirers of Major Andrew & Row. an, U S. A, who is is still living, have put in a bill appropriattng s5,000 for some memorial of his fa- nous exploit In 1898. when he was sent by President Mckinley to Cuba to communicate with General Garcia, the leader of the Cuban revolution. He made a landing from an open boat near Turquino Peak and with much difficulty succeeded in reach ing Garcia. obtained full information of the insurgent army and made the return trip successfully.
 It is sought also to memoralize with a monument. at an expense of s100.000. General Nathaniel Lyons, who was killed at Wilson's Creek and who bequeathed nearly all his property. about s30,000. to the gov ernment for the preservation of the Union. Last on the Senate list of ap- plications is request for s50,000 for a monument to Major Robert Ander- son. whom the country always will remember as having been in com mand of Fort Sumter when the open ing gun of the civil war was fired upon it April 12, 1861
 It so happens that half of the prot ects mentioned above would honor heroes of peace and half heroes of war-a much better proportion than obtains in the statues already erect ed, only two of which memoralize civilians. The John G. Whittier me- morial project is making headway. meantime, and sooner or later must be added to the list.
