God’s Baiungt'on “Booth Christens It «on American Volunteers.” v '1 A NEW STANDARD-DESIGNED Description of the Flag That the New 0r- ganization \Vill Carry Side by Side “’ith the Stars and Stripes—Tho Break Between Father and Sen. NEW YORK, March 16. -—- Ballington Booth has named his new religious organ- ization God’s American Volunteers. “Eu- reka!” he exclaimed. “I have found it! ' The new movement has at last a name for which we have been seeking for weeks. American Volunteers! Three cheers, gentlemen, for the success of the glorious cause!” The old Bible house, usually quiet and gloomy, echoed with the cheers that an- swered the call. Booth stood in the cen- ter of the group and waved his long arms with each cheer. “The American Volun- teers, all American and all for God,” he added. “Patriotism for our country and , faith in the Lord will lead us to victory.”- The design of the new standard has been completed, and a beautiful banner will be unfurled as soon as it can be made. Booth rapidly sketched the design and said: “The standard of God’s American Vol- unteers, while being emblematical of the cardinal principles and truths in which we believe and seek to propagate, will be distinctly American. It consists of a . white flag. emblematical of purity, con- taining in its center a large blue star, typical of hope. In the middle of this star is a white cross, eniblematical of sac- rifice for others. . “In the top corner of the standard near- est the flag staff are white stars on a blue ground, representing the number of states in the Union. Over the center blue star is the motto of the volunteers, ‘My Lord— My Ban'ner.’ Beneath the star will be the number of the post. This standard will be carried at the heads of parades side by side with the American national flag.” The volunteers will be governed by a military constitution, with Mr. and Mrs. Booth as joint presidents. ‘ The local branches will be called posts, and the vari- ous grades of officers will have rank and titles like those of the American army. Son Against Father. Ballingtcn Booth yesterday authorized the publication of the following state- ments: . “All negotiations between General Booth of the Salvation Army and myself have ceased, and henceforth all intercourse of’which we are the principals must neces- sarily be of that formal nature which should exist between the heads of two similar but distinct organizations. “I have found it necessary to make this statement in order to put to rest for all time the unfounded rumors that have been floating on both this and the other side of the Atlantic,” continued Mr. Booth, “and I do so without any other feeling than that of a duty to both my father and to myself.” Mr. Booth made the above statements in refutation of a series of articles that have appeared in London and American religious . papers to the effect that he had quite recently made overtures to his father, General Booth, asking for a reconsidera- tion of his case. Mr. Booth characterized these articles as absolutely unfounded in truth, but refused to say Whether or not he suspected their source. Major Glen, aid to Commander Booth, to whose efforts the success of the new movement is large- ly due, said yesterday that each mail brought a number of letters requesting Ballington Booth to take charge of large missions and independent organizations of a religious character. , To each request Mr. Booth has replied that such a course would be impossible in view of his present vast undertaking, but has intimated his willingness to embody each of these organizations in the fold of the American army. . Maud Booth, wife of Ballington Booth, will pursue the same tactics in the new movemept as she did so successfully in the old one—namely, that of a series of parlor campaigns. It is said that several prominent persons in this city, who have been active in the cause of the Booths, have offered their drawing rooms for these campaigns, which will be made chiefly for the purpose of raising funds for the new organization. Nicoll Recalled. A great deal of surprise was manifest— ed, both in Salvation Army circles and in the Booth circles, when it became known that Colonel Alexander Nicol, the ac- knowledged special representative to this country of General Booth, had suddenly sailed for England. Colonel N icol’s visit to this country was supposed to have been for the purpose of smoothing over the troubles that had arisen so suddenly be- tween General Booth and his son, the commander. . About two weeks ago Colonel Nicol made a trip west, and it is to his efforts that the fidelity of the western branch of the army to the mother organization is due. ' \ The departure of Colonel Nicol.was not expected, as he returned from the west late on Friday. Shortly after reaching the Salvation Army headquarters in Fourth street Colonel Nicol received a cable dis-' patch, presumably from England, and at once announced that he must sail for home on the first steamer out. This hap- pened to be the Lucania, and passage was at once secured by telephone. It is surmised that Colonel Nicol, who is certain to have acquired a knowledge of the state of affairs in this country, has been recalled in order that he may confer with General Booth before Mr. and Mrs. Booth-Tucker, who have been assigned to command in this country, leave England.

NEW YORK, March 16. -—The World prints 8. special dispatch from Canton, 0., as follows: Governor McKinley, the leading Repub- lican candidate for president, yesterday broke the sphinxlike silence he has held for many months when the general public criticism of his position On silver was re- peated to him. He was told. that sound money Republicans complained that the Ohio platform, which he was supposed to have written, was too favorable to silver, while the silver senators all said it was too favorable to the single gold standard. Governor McKinley was told that there was a universal demand to know where he really stood. He replied: "I have discussed the question of our— rency and coinage in congress, and my record is plain. Vice President Stevenson once said the people were willing to chance free and unlimited silver coinage, and I responded that the people were not pre- pared to indulge in any such speculation. “You will find that in the records of congress I said in 1890 that we should preserve gold and silver moneys side by side: that I did not want gold at a pre- Inium or silver at a discount, or vice ver— sa, but that I wanted both metals to be equal in purchasing power and in legal tender quality equal in power to perform the functions of money with which to do the business and move the commerce of the United States. My exact views are these,” and Governor McKinley read from The Congressional Record: “ ‘It is only because of the safe and con- servative financial policy of. the Republic- an party, aided by conservative men of both parties, which has more than once received the approval’of the country, that since 1878 we have compelled gold and silver to work together upon an equality, both employed as safe means of exchange in the business of our country. “ ‘Whatever dollars we have in this country must be good dollars, as good in the hands of the poor as the rich, equal dollars, equal in inherent merit. equal in purchasing power, whether they be paper dollars or gold dollars or silver dollar or treasury notes, each convertible into the other and each exchangeable for the oth— er, because each is based upon equal value and has behind it equal security, good not by the flat of law alone, but good because the whole commercial world recognizes its inheritant and inextinguishable value.’ ” ‘ NEVER TOUOHED US. Perrine's Comet Is Sixty Million Miles Away and Traveling From the Earth. SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.—The Per- rine comet, which was scheduled to strike the earth yesterday, failed to arrive. The astronomers at the Lick observatory tele— graph that the comet was last night (50,000,000 miles away from the earth, with no prospect of coming any closer. Observations of the comet made at the National observatory last night shows that it is traveling away from the earth in a southerly direction very rapidly and grow— ing perceptibly fainter. It was scarcely half as bright as two nights ago, and its position was determined as 47% degrees north declination and 3 hours 15 minutes right ascension. During the period of two days it has changed its position about 20 degrees in the right ascension and the dec- lination lessened by a half degree. It is still an open question whether the stranger is traveling in a parabolic orbit or in the direction of an elongated ellipse, as the difference in its travel in this re- spect from the last observation was too slight to warrant any definite conclusion. In the latter case it will again return to view, but otherwise it will go beyond ob- servation and become lost in space. Rough calculations indicate that it will disappear in about a month. It has been moving further away from the earth steadily since about Feb. 23, when it was nearest the earth, the distance being about 35,000,0000 miles. The observations at the government observatory will be con- tinued as long as possible, and early devel- opments may solve the vexaticus ques- tions as to which 'of the two courses of travel it is taking.

I BERLIN, March 16.—All the surround- ings of the visit of Count Goluchovski, the Austrian minister for foreign affairs. to this city testified to its significance. Emperor William personally showed him the greatest consideration and closest at- tention, of which the bestowal upon the count of a decoration, the diamond stud- ded Cross of the Red Eagle, was only one proof. After the banquet Emperor Wil- liam conversed with the Austrian minis- ter for about an hour and a half in private, and naturally everybody understands that the intimate relations of the drei- bund powers were the main subject of their conversation. There is no doubt that the Italian crisis was also discussed, and- a number of important dispatches- were exchanged between Berlin and Rome during the stay of Count Gcl'uchowski in this city. The count of course refused to be in- terviewed'during his stay here. but your correspondent learns from reliable author- ity that the main objects of his visit were attained, and that in view of the weaken- ing of Italy the AustroGerman under- standing has been widened so as to em. brace armed assistance from Austria in the event of a French or Russian attack upon Germany. Italy’s share in such an event will be a passive one. \Vill Love England Again.

Germany throughout the week has beenvisited by snowstorms and heavy rains, and as a result there are floods al- most everywhere. Thcre is much snow _ in the northeast and center parts of the country, and telegrapl‘xic and telephonic communication with different places has been frequentlv interrupt-ed. The Alsatian diet has voted the sum of - 100,000 marks for the relief of the suffer- ers from the floods in that province, and the diets of Baden and Wurtemberg have done the same for the relief of distress in their provinces. Thirteen persons. were drowned near Basie, Switzerland, owing torthe floods, and several, people have been drowned at Speyer, on the Rhine, which river, with the Main, Necker and Moselle, has overflowed. A bridge was swept away at Freiburg, Baden, drowning nine per- sens. The hereditary Grand Duke of Ba- den was in danger of drowning. The Kinzig dam, at Baden, collapsed, and whole districts were flooded. The Vistula has also over-flowed, and there has been much damage done in the north.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.-— Latest U. S.'Gov't Report Announcers: PURE . O’BRIEN SAVES HIS READ. The American Bunco king Sentenced to Penal Servitude For Life. PARIS, March 16.—Thomas O’Brien. the American bunco steerer, who shot and killed Kid Waddell, another American crook on March 27 last, has been sen- tenced to penal servitude for life. O’Brien affirmed that he killed his victim in self defense and in a moment of frenzy. The jury found extenuating circumstances; hence the sentence of penal servitude for life. The crime for which ThomasO’Brien will spend the remainder of his life in . son was committed at the Northern iroad station in Paris. O’Brien and .Vaddell a few days before the murder had quarreled at the Cafe Americain, Weddell striking O’Brien witha bottle, but whether the killing of Waddell was done in vengeance for that assault or what his motive was is an unsolved problem. ' O’Brien was a notorious swindler and not a stranger to the authorities of New York, being particularly noted for his wonderful escapes, and had earned the title of the Bunco King. He was arrested in London about four years ago on a requi- sition from the United States and was sent back to America. In April, 1892, he was tried and convicted in Albany and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment for swindling. A writ of habeas corpus was obtained and he was taken before the United States court in Utica. He and his jailer stopped in a hotel during the night, and O’Br’ien’s escape was easy. He em- barked on a sailing vessel bound for France, but was arrested again in Havre. He was in custody only a few hours, how- ever, and again succeeded in making his escape. Then he began the study of ex- tradition laws and found there was but one place of refuge for him—the Argen- tine Republic. From Havre he Inade his way to Lisbon, and the next time he was heard of was in Buencs Ayres. The proceedings in the Jabez Balfour extradition case caused him to feel un- easy, and a sh it time after that he was reported to be :-.-~.-ving as an officer in the Haitian army. and his next move, it is thought, was back to France, where he met and killed Waddell, as already told. A BITTER POLITICAL FIGHT. Republican Revolt In Arkansas Against General Powell Clayton’s Leadership. LITTLA‘ BOOK, March 16.—Editor W. D. Matthews of the Stuttgart Free Press, who is leading the revolt against General Powell Clayton in the Republican ranks of Arkansas, prints atwo column editorial in the current issue of his paper in which he bitterly denounces Clayton’s leadership and announces his revolt. Of the appar- ent harmony in the recent state conven- tion he says: “It was not love that kept them in the ranks. It was fear—fear of the lash, fear of ostracism, fear of the less of a piece of pic that is expected. Clayton, as a member of McKinley_’s cab- in‘et, will have the best of all. The fact is that'a majority of the men in that‘oon- vention detest Clayton and his repi'ehen- sible methods, and 'if certain they could overthrow his dynasty they would be up in arms.” Matthews asserts that were it not for Clayton Arkansas would be in the Repub- lican ranks today, and be appeals to the young men of the party to join in a gener- al revolt and overthrow the. machine. Continuing, he says: “If the Republicans of the north could see the condition, of afi'airs in the south, they would not mar- vel that everything 'goes Democratic. There are thousands upon thousands of tried and true Republicans in the south who are acting with the Democratic party today simply because they are forced, to do so by such men as General POWell Clay- ten.” -The article closes by warning General, Clayton that the disaffection may pene« trate the Arkansas delegation to the na‘ tional convention before they reach St. ‘Louis. and that McKinley may lose some of their votes. .

LONDON, March 16.—The Field, com- menting upon the announcement that a crew from Yale university will compete at Henley regatta this year, says that the Americans will be greeted with every courtesy, but The Field adds that there will be no enthusiasm. The Field also prints prominently a letter in which the writer deplores inter- national contests, declaring that a few minutes over the, Henley course may do more to promote international enmity th I] “all the Monroe doctrines.” ' he letter concludes with many sneers at the Yale men, saying among other things: “They could get no one to row them gin 1 America, therefore they are coming to Henley, althopgh no one invited them.” Kansas Republican Delegates.
