This morning's newspapers said these remarks were taken 1o I t by both parties to the dispute and led to a pence conference. The Daily Herald asserted that General Booth was much better and might make a dramatic appearance when the hearing is resumed on Tucsday. The paper added that it was not improbable a scttlement would be announced. The Daily Mail xaid belief in & possible settlement was based upon the universal esteem and affection with which every member of the Army regarded General Booth and upon the offer of concessions whicl he made in a letter to the high council while it was in session at {Sunbury.
