It was late in the evening before Bishop Nichols requested the General to address the house. He said in part: “In the course of a long and not un-| eventful career I have been called upor to face many trying sftuations, but naver one as trying as the present. 1 fear neither my profession nor my practice authorizes me to address you, nevertheless I have not altogether forgotten the les- sons I learned at the knee of a Christian mother. 1 congratulate you, my fellow citizens of the Salvation Army, on tic pluck, perseverance and indomitable will which have made you the power that you are in America to-day. Now as to China. I believe that in China we are on the brink of either a mere flurry or what will prove to be one of the bloodlest wars the world has ever seen. It looks to me very much like the latter. I hope you soldlers of the Salvation Army will not forget in your pi ers the gallant soldiers of the American forces. It has been forced upon me on many occasions that the man who s not ashamed to acknowledge his 1e ligion is the man to depend upon. From the days of the Roundheads down to our Boer friends in South Africa the man who rays before he shoots is a hard man to “I must in conclusion thank you for your applauce. Coming from an Ameri- can audience to an American soldier, it is extremely gratifving. It is all that we ask of you and all the reward we ought to expect. I thank you.” | the work of the Salvation Army in Amer- ica and Europe. On the subject of the | army colonies he said; “Our first colony was started at F Romie, our second settlement at F Amity in Colorado, and now we have i third at Herrick, in Ohio. It has peen a hard struggle—sometimes it looked as if failure was to be the end of our efforts— but God was good to us. We stuck to our | guns, and three years ago we raised $73,- 000 to give the farm colonies a good start. We have 3000 acres of land and provide for 300 men, vomen and children. T hope soon to ercct the .argest workingmen's sanitarium in the world. I hope to be able | to say some day. to every sick poor man: ‘Come, live with us and for 85 or $4 a week obtain’ medicine. good food and bracing air’; and then when he géts better, If he wants to have a cottage and a ten-acre lot, he can have it.” Bishop Willlam Ford Nicholy, Rev. Dr. Woods and Mrs. Higgins also addressed the audience. Rev. William Rader of- fered the opening prayer, asking for grac to be shed upon “God's rough rider Upon the platform. with Commander Booth-Tucker were Colonel Willlam Eyv- ans, Colonel Richard Evans, George D.

They believe that in a very short time peace will reign again. Everything depends upon the acceptance: of their proposition by the powers, for the Em- peror with them is the kingpin of the situation. .

Boom of Roos Hill, Iowa, and his family have given up hope for the safety of their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Garrett, who are missionaries for the Christian church in China. Both of the young people graduated from Drake University a year ago. A letter from them dated June 18 is the last word re- ceived. At that time they were starting from Kuling to Shanghal. The Boxers were inciting the people to kill all for- eigners, and the missionaries, numbering about sixty Americans. were badly fright- ened. All efforts to communicate with the Garretts have been fruitless. SeiinSodminy RIOTING IS SPREADING.

Their failure to return led to the investigation by Mr. Langfitt.
