H' "We promised at the Inception of the new
K3; Movement that Its workers should be affiliated
Hf? "With the Christian and Evangelical churches.
Kl During tho last twolro months alono our load-
Km tasjr officers havo conducted about 2,030 services
Kr , a other religious denominations, many leading
Kfr to a direct lnoroase of membership and the
H consecration of its workers. Wo promised to
Rff dlroot our efforts to reaching the wnpre-earnlnr
HT sdasses. In addition to benefiting the lower and
K? CBors needy elements of society. We have re-
Hfi (Mlved reports that during one recent month
H$ 8(142 open-air meetings were held, reach-
Hlt - lag some 140,000 persons, while about 170,-
K? I 00 persons nttendod indoor week night ser-
Hi I prices, and over 100,000 persons were pres-
K'B I Bnt at our Indoor Sunday services in our
M' I armories, making In all about 470,000 peoplo
H'v I Nrho have come under the Influence of n straight

Kf I Dental officers report a large percentage

IHtf Tho Volunteers have en oiled over 12,000 mem-
-vf Mrs In their Volunteer Prisoner's League,

& bringing our work In touch with some 10.000
H', men now Incarcerated. Suroly, ladles ami
Hf' gentlemen, these llcures at this pioneer stago of
Kf the movement, nro themselves sufficient proof
R of the far-reachlnir Influence of the Volunteers,
v i to say nothing of the promise they give for their
Ef i future advance."
H$ Next Or. Dene w arose and was greeted with
kmn I applause. He said:
$ t ''Ladies and (Igktlemen: I have spoken
kmm--'.,: I (ram this platform on more different occasions
p and In more varied interests than porbaps nny
K'' Other man In this city, but I have never
kmiff participated In any gathering hero with
bSsbVV more pleasure than I havo in speak-

I pause I thought it a good thing when Mr. nnd
Sirs, Booth started this movoment; nnd the his-
:'.' IX lory of the last nineteen months has shown that
LbibV'V' '' It Is a good thing. I was sovorely criticised at
toe time, both at homo and In England, for aup-
ji! porting the movement, and for sayinu thiit we
wanted all the world to go on In Its own way,
'u oat we preferred to go by way of America in-
tv Dtdad of Europe. Applause.-
K "I haveknonn thousands afpeoplo who were

w: . Home people can bo reached only by Incense and
K$r devotional ceremonials, others by didactic ser-

work. I bellevo it Is not only God's work, but
bjjjv the work of ourcountrv." Applause.1
S After a solo, Mrs. Ilalltngton Bootli was In-
74 trodnoed. As sho rose, a voice from tho ranks
tot tho Volunteers on the stage cried:
"uod bless our little mother!"
There was a chorus of "amens." nnd Mrs.
"j? Booth smiled and recognized the greeting In the
kWx form of bor address.
S" 'Friends, comrades, and my dear boys." she
;, Began, with an emphasis on the last words, "I

ot Commander Ilalllngton Booth next mode a re-
qaeat for monoy. Although the deficit haa in-
S creased only $40 in the last year, he said, the
lL -work was enlarging so much that the expenses

What was hernlded In all the anti-Republican
newspapers In columns of advance notices
as a great mass meeting of antl-organhtation
Republicans was held at Lyric Hall 'last night.
The crowd advertised to attend materialized
In the shape ot fifty men who were not specially
crowded In the small meeting room. In faot,
It was a thin meeting of Brookfleld-Swayne
faotlon's Committee on Organization, and
Gen. Wager Swayne, Chairman of the commit
tee, was as prominent a citizen as anybody there.
The Committee on Organization should con
sist of five from oaoh Assembly district 176 in
all. All of the fifty present were not members,
some attending because the affair had been ad
vertised as a mass meeting.
The reason why there was so small on at
tendance of committeemen was revealed when
Thomas Humphrey offered a resolution to re
organize for the year under the provisions of the
constitution, till resolution requested "As
sembly districts which are without representa
tion" to ssnd five delegates each. It seems that
there are a great many Assembly districts which
tho BrookfTelders have failed to organize
Gen. Swayne, in his speech, said he hoped
every mornber of the organization felt eatlstlod
with the result of the olectlon and would re
peat his action wero tho campaign to be fought
over again.
William Brookfteld offered a resolution,
which was adopted, in which ho denied the gen
uiiienoBs of the Itopubllcau emollment, as usual,
and offered his own enrollment a poor thing,
butmlnoown as a nucleus for a new organiza
tion, lie admitted after tho meeting that there
ore negotiations pending with tho Low Republi
cans, headed by (Jen. McCook. looking to an
amalgamation, with Jamos Yereance of the
Twenty-ninth Assembly district as President of
the County Committee.

Lwoowr, Neb., Nov. 22. A contest was filed
to-day by tho Republican leaders protesting
against the State Hoard canvassing tho recent
election returns. Tho basis of tho protest is
that Secretary of Stato Porter has opened s
number at the envelopes containing tho returns
from tbe various county clerks In violation of
the law, which declares that these envelopes
shall not be opened until tho full board Is pro-tent.
Tbe Secretary ot State admits that lie
openod aeveral on elopes and sunt their certifi
cates back to tho county clerks for cuircctlon,
ho having evidence that clerical errors existed.
Much feeling has been aroused in political
circles ovor the contest. The Sllvor fusion
forces assert that It is a trick of the opposition
to retain uninterrupted control of the Supremo
Court and that thoy may accomplish tills by ap
pealing tho ciiHc to tnnt body later, Tho court
is composed wholly of Republicans, and Judgo
Post, whom the 1 usion candidate defeated ot
the recent election.
Tho board lma Isnorod the protest nnd begun

Albany, Nor. 22. An inquiry to determine
the oause of the recent accident below Qarrl
ion's on the N'ow York Contra! nnd Hudson
River Railroad was begun to-day by the Bute
Railroad Commission, The only new develop
ment was thestatement of Mr. John M. Toucey,
the General Manager of the road, that the acci
dent was oaused by the derailment of tho en
gine and not by a landslide, and the sworn
opinion of Charlos B. Van Schalok, tho Inspec
tor of motive power, that an examination of
tho engine after the wreok failed to dlsoloso
any broken parts'that would have caused its de
railment. The oommlsslon took the testimony of seven
wltnossos this afternoon. They were all em
ployoos of the road. Col. Ashley W. Cole, the
President ot tbo commission, conducted the ex
amination of the witnesses. Frank Loomls,
general counsel of tbe road; his assistant, D.
W. Tears, and General Superintendent Edwin
Van Kttcn wero prosent.
Goncral Managor John M. Toucey waa the
first witness. He described the nature ot
tho construction of the roadbed aa originally
built, and the necessity and uses for a sea wall
along that section of tho roadbed where the ao
cldent occurred. That portion of the road had
nover been reported as dangerous. Ho felt
euro tho suction of tho water had not weakened
tho son wall nnd undormlned the roadbed nt
tlio point whero tho accident occurred. Ho
concluded his testimony with this stntoment:
"I do not ugreo with tho theory that u wash
out occurred. I think tho accident was occa
sioned by tho derailment nr the engine, that
was tho primary cause. What tlirew.tho en-
glne oil wo havo not fully determined us yet,
tit there Is no doubt but thnt was the primary
cn'iso. tho derailment of tho engine. Imme
diately after the neident It wan observed that
tho cngino hnd ploughed a deep furrow along
tho roadbed for over a hundred feet between
the sen wall nnd tho outer end of the ties. I
havo no doubt the momentum nnd weight ot the
cngino und cars caused the roadbed to topplo
over into the river." '
Mr. W. I). Otis, tho General Road Master,
was also of tho opinion thnt the engine was de
railed and occasioned tho wreck. Ho asserted
that tho portion of the rond nlong section 0 re
quired less attention than many other sec
tions. It had never been reported us dnn
gcrous. Abrnm R. Sparrow. Division Road Master:
J. S. Caldwell. Axsistnnt General Road Muster
for tho Hudson River division; Oacnr Hought
on, the foreman of the gang of men nt the nceno
of tho wreck, nnd James Fltzpatrlck, the fore
man in chnrgo of section 0, on widen the acci
dent occurred, which is about four miles In
length, gmo similar testimony. Mr. Sparrow
denied tho statement that tho rails had been
relald at tho point where the neident occurred
in order to straighten the lino. Mr. Caldwell
had never noticed nny sagging of tho roadbed.
Mr. Pltzpatrick bald ho had mndo n careful In
spection of section U about twelve hours before
tho wreck occurred.
Tho most Important testimony of the day,
vlened In the light of enabling tho commission
to urrlvo at tho emiso of tho wreck, was that of
Mr. Char D. Van Schuick. tho inspector of
engines. Ho made an examination of the en
glno immediately after it was raised from tho
bed of the river. It was evident to him. he said,
thnt tho throttlo win opon when tho cngino loft
tho track. The engineer had no forewarning
of the fate In store for tho train. While tho
throttle was closed when tho unglno was taken
fromjthe river, thern was no doubt is his mind
thnt it had been fchut by somo heavy object
falling against it. Thnt tho throttlo was not
closed by the engineer or bv his body being
forced against it was evidunt, Mr. Van Schalrk
said, by tho fnct that the throttle handle was
badly bent. There rtin nothing to indicate
thnt tho engine vtns not In first-class running
condition before it loft tho track. Ho was
satisfied thnt tho tender entered tho river first
and that the engine went In rear end forward.
Ho said the cngino was so littlo damaged Jiat
it n-iu repaired nnd turned out of the shop a
week ngo nnd was restored to service on
Wednesday last. Ho had no suggestion to
oiTer ns to the cause of tho wreck, except that it
was not duo to any defect of tho engine.
Mr. Loomis asked tbo wltnoss If he had seen a
out In ono of tho wheels of the engine which
would Indicate that the cause of the accident
was the engine leaving tho trnrk Instead of the
embankment giving way. Witness replied
thut he had not.
Mr. Loomls then said that Superintendent of
Motive Powor Buchanan had a plaster cast of
tho wheel showing the out. Mr. Buchanan
will be naked to testify.
No othor witnesses being present the com
mission adjourned tho investigation . until
Deo. 0. Thon tho engineers and experts will
be called. The experts Include' sir. John
Uogart, formerly State Engineer: Prof. William
H. Burr of Columbia College. George S. Get
chell, tbe present Inspector of the commission;

BetesaUa from Portals Make a Beplp to the
Chararoa That There Was Unralmeea la the
Kleotlon or President or the Federation.
8rnAcrosB, Nov. 22. Mrs. Charles Halbert
Deniaon, First Vice-President, and Mrs, Jennie
Do la M. Lozler, former Prealdont ot Boroals,
who wero delegates from Sorosls to the reoent
Congress ot the Stato Federation of Women's
Clubs in this city, have furnished a statement
to the local press, replying to tho charges of un
falrnoss In the election of Mrs. William Tod
Helmuth, the President of Sorosls, to the office
ot President ot the Federation, The statement
follows:
"As the delegatos from Sorosls to the labs
convention of tho New York State Federation
ot Women's Clubs have been charged with the
adoption ot Illegal and unfair measures at the
election of .oflloers ot the Federation, and It has
been said that Tammany methods prevnlled,
will you kindly admit to jour columns a dispas
sionate statement ot facts I The practloeof
allowing a dologato to reprosont more than one
club, and therefore to be entitled to more than
one vote, waa not a constitutional provision,
but had descondod aa an unwrltton law from
the ruling ot a former President, and upon the
statement ot that fact by the Chair a motion
was carried sustaining the former ruling. The
'new constitution was considered section by
section, but was not adopted as a
whole to go Into Immediate effeot, for
the reason that the majority recog
nized the Injustice of depriving these clubs
of their voto, which had sent representatives
undor tbo old ruling, nnd for tho further reason
that tho adoption, in the tnldst of a convention,
of a practically now constitution, with a now
parliamentary authority, would bring about
rent confusion. In the accusation that has
een mndo that Sorosls advocated tho postpone
ment of tho adoption ot tho constitution until
after tho election In tho Interest of the can
didacy of one of her members, the fact seems to
have been overlooked that such postponement
only gavo tho candidate oflico for ono year, if
elected, whilo under tho now constitution she
would havo two years, as the provisions of tho
new constitution could not be retroactive
" It has been charged that the roll-call was
omitted and visitors were allowed to voto; thnt
tellors wero lllegnliy appointed, nnd the ap
pointment of Inspectors lllegully omitted. The
roll-call wns omlttod by a heavy majority
voto, und delegates, distinguished by badges,
were massed In the front of tho houso while
visitors wero retired to tho rear, and ballots dis
tributed only to delegates. Of a possiblo vote ot
S02, only 181 votes were cast. Tho appoint
ment of tellers by tho presiding ofllcer was
strictly In accordnnco nitli pirllamcntary law,
nnd the motion to appoint inspectors of eloctlon
was voted down by n nearly unanimous vote,
tho motion evidently bolng construed as a
most unnecessary reflection upon tbe honesty of
tbe tellorB. The charge has also boon made that
the constitution was violated in not keeping the
polls open from 10 A. M. to 5 P. M. But ns the
requirement that the polls should be held opon
during these hours was a provision of the new
constitution, which was not adopted until nfter
the election, and the old constitution contained
no such provision, tho utter groundlessness of
tbe charge becomos apparent.
"Thero were present nt the convention only
five members of Sorosls, two delegates from
that club, and Ihr c representing throo other
associations. One of these, as Chairman of tho
Convonti'ia, did not voto. Tho compliment
which is paid to the power of Ave women in tho
association. that they 'carried' tho convention
according to their ascribed wishes, Is uudeslrod
nnd undeserved. The delegates brought from
their clubs instructions to such action ns would
promote harmony, prevent utrlfe, and nllay. It
possible, tho spirit of nntngonlsm sometimes ex
hibited toward Sorosls. They nttompted consci
entiously to carry out tbose Instructions, and
regrot deeply the futility ot their best endeavor."
