March Aross the Stage What the General Had to Report Regarding Hie Visit to America. LONDON London accorded General Hoofh of the Salvation Army a great welcome home at the Albert hall Mon day night. The immense auditorium was packed from floor to roof. The-re was not a vacant seat in the building, which scats !',(( petHons, and in spite of the rainy night hundreds were turn ed away. The audience included Sir Edward Clarke, Sir (Jeorgo Newnes, Lady Pender, I-ady Murray, seven met ropolitan mayors, the Right lion. IL 11. Asqtiith and a number of other mem bers of parliament, while two boxes wen filled with members of the ttock exchange. Ambassador Choate. and others sent messages of regret. .The organizer of the demonstration, with an eye to effect, decked hun dreds of the officers of the Salvation Army with broad scarf., shawls and headdresses of brilliant colors, thus forming great blocks of color against the background of more- soberly clad spectators, Four hundred uniformed musicians, drawn from the Salvation Army bands in Ixmdon, were massed around the massive organ at the end or the hall. Goneral Booth's appearance on the platform was the signal for a remark able demonstration. The audience rose as one man, fluttering handker chiefs and programs, and c heering for several minutes, while the bands and the organ added a harmonious note to the thunderous welcome. The white-headed veteran' accompa nied by Mrs. Booth and the interna tional headquarteit staff, stood bow ing until the uproar ceased. A spee t.e ular feature of the meeting follow ed in the review of the various depart ments of the Salvation Army, who marched in and across the stage, sa luting the general as they passed, each department bearing a distinctive banner and wearing distinctive cos tumes. In this review were included the edi torial and printing house staff; the foreign converts, Soudanese. Japan ese. Chinese, all in their native cos tumes; cadets, field officers. slum workers, men, women and children from the slums, before and after their rescue; soldiers, sailors, colonists who are training for foreign settlement. sr.rd many others. 'Fellow workers," said the general in part, "I can report well of the army, both in the United States and Canada. The Salvation Army has made great and real progress in America since my last visit and 1 see striking prom ise of the creation on that continent of one of the most powerful sections of the army." The general spoke touchingly on the reception accorded to him through America, and the reference he made to the kindliness of his reception by President Roosevelt and the distinc tion shown him as the representative of the Salvation Army by the United States congress evoked repeated ap plause. "I like the American." he went on. "and I believe he likes me. He is willing to risk something to gain his end and does not let prejudice or tra dition stand in his way." Postal Relations With Cuba. WASHINGTON. I- C The perma nent postal treaty between the United States and Cuba is now in course of negotiation and probably will be in operation within a few weeks. The treaty is substantially the same as the one now in force between this conn try and Canada.

WASHINGTON The secretary of the treasury Thursday published a circular announcing on and after April 1. 190.'L he will receive lor refunding under authority of sec tion 11, or the ad or March 14, l'JOO, to an amount not exceeding 1100,000,000, any of the bonds of the 3 per cent loan of 1908 llilS, and the 4 per cent funded loan ot 1JU7. They may be surrendered at prices yielding to the investor an Income of 2i per cent per annum, and the new bonds will be is. -.tied in exchange at a premium of 2 r cent. Accrued interest on both old .i: id new bonds will be calculated to date of exchange. There are now outstanding about $!J7,000,ooo 3 per cent bonds and 233.- ooo.ooo fours of 1907, which are af fected by the circular issued Thursday. There are also outstanding about f44fi.OOO.Ooo of the 2 per cent consols of 1920, issued under the act of March 14, 1900. These 2 per cent bonds were issued in 190 at par under provisions of the refunding act. If the new bonds were to be issued now at par there would be a profit to the owners of the bonds, taking the present mar ket valuation as a basis, of about 4 per cent for the 3 per c ent bonds sur rendered, and about Ij'fe per cent for the fours or lfioX. The secretary desires to ejbtain an equitable share of this profit for the government, which is the reason for charging a premium of 2 per cent un der the new bonds to be issued. The circular will contain full partic ulars for the guidance of those who desire to avail themselves of the priv ilege of refunding and will be sent to each owner of registered bonds of the two loans in question. The; 5 per cent bonds of 1904 will not be received for refund under this circular, but will be reserved for re demption. They mature February 1, 19ii4. The secretary stated in expla nation of his action that he desired to put out a larger amount of 2 per cents, which would be available to in crease circulation in case of a strin gency. NEW YORK The offer of Secre tary Shaw seemed to come as a sur prise to bond brokers, some of whom professed to be unable to understand its scope or purport. It was generally looked upon as an emergency or reliet measure, inasmuch as the offer will release from $5,000,000 to f8.000.000, the amount depending entirely upon the proportion cf 3s or 4s turned in. One broker thought the proposition was designed to induce banks to in crease their circulation. Nobody could trace any connection between the offer and the coming Panama can 2l payment. Soldiers of the Civil War. WASHINGTON, D. C Governor Heyward of South Carolina has writ ten to the secretary of war to express his approval of the purpose of the war nepartment to publish a complete list cf officers and men who served in the union and confederate armies during the civil war.

I shall be glad to give io your department whatever coopera tion lies in my power." Exchange of Ratifications. WASHINGTON, D. C Although somewhat out of the regular order, the expectation is that informal ex changes of ratification of the Cuban treaty will be made Monday or Tues day by telegraph so as to meet the requirement? that ratifir f.tion shall be had by March 31, when the limit of time expires. Formal ratification by the usual method will be .iad later. Minister Squires has notified Secre tary Hay of the action of the Cuban senate in ratifying the treaty Satur day. President Rejects Escort.

The spec ial train on which the pres ident will leave here Wednesday lor his western trip will be furnished bv the Pennsylvania railroad and will be one specially decorated and equipped for the trip. It will consist of siv cars, manned by a picked crew, with Conductor Wil liam II. Johnson, who has been with the president on many trips, in charge.

Up to the hour of closing the de partment Wednesday the secretary ot the treasury had received offers of 3 and 4 per cent bonds in exchange for 2 per cent consols amounting to ?5, 037,000. A number of prominent people who have been identified with the Red Cross organization have united in making representations to John W. Foster concerning that organization. They express the opinion that "the financial arrangements of the organi zation need reorganization in order to merit the confidence of the nub lie." They also indorse "the efforts now being made by seme of the prom inent members of the Red Cross in "Washington to thoroughly reorganize that organization and to provide for a careful and bi:siness-like administra tion of its finances." Among the ig- r.atui-es are Bishop Kerry C. Potter, Spencer Trask. Robert C. Ogde n and Gustave H. Schwab.

The opinion is generally expressed here at this time that the rifle shots fired in the Cham ber of Deputies on Tuesday were ar ranged by certain ministers to secure the dissolution of the chambers, prin cipally the senate.

CHICAGO Summer tourist rates to California were proposed to lines in the western territory Friday by the Santa Fe with the announcement that the Santa Fe is prepared to take in dependent action and put on a rate ot one fare for the round trip from June 1 to August 31.

Secretary Hay han ent a warning to Cuba that the slightest amendment of the Cuban rec iprocity treaty by the Cuban congress, even that which proposes to make its ratification conditional c n the treaty going into effect during the cur rent calendar year, certainly would defeat the convention itself, since any amendment must be submitted to the United States senate, and before that can be done the date fixed for the final exchange of ratifications, March 31, will have been passed. Mr. Squire, the United States minis ter at Havana, has transmitted this note to the Cuban foreign minister, and he is hopeful that it will be suf ficient to curb the desire to ame-nd the treaty. It is fully realized here that foreign influences in Havana which would b affected injuriously by the treaty are working upon Cuban pride to defeat the ratification by attaching amend ments tc the treaty This was fully expected and is rcgared as within the legitimate dutes of diplomatic repre sentatives in such cases, but it is be lieved that the effort will prove un successful. ARBITRATION THE REMEDY. Disapproves Compulsory Incorporation of Unions. ALBANY, N. Y. The sixteenth an nua report of the state board of medi tation and arbitration, made public by Labor Commissioner McMarkin, disap proves of compulsory incorporation of labor unions, but advocates compul sory arbitration as a condition of the granting of public service franchises.
