ELIJAH II LEMS HIS FOLLOWERS
TO ATTACK VICES OF NEW YORK
New York, October 16—The “restora
tion host." under the leadership of John
Alexander Dowie. garrisoned Madison
Square Garden today and completed
preparations to commence tomorrow on
the works of the "enemy." The first de
tachment numbering about 400 arrived
early in the morning and the remaining
trains followed during tile day and iven
ing. Leaving the ferry boat the cru
saders boarded special cars which were
in waiting and proceeded direct to the
garden to the music of their hands and
the singing of hymns.
The general overseer himself, accompa
nied by his family and staff, arrived in
his special train at the Grand Central
station, where, owing to a misunder
standing. his private carriage failed to
meet him and he was compelled to go
to the Plaza hotel in a hack. Paring
the confusion of leaving the train a thiet
slipped into Mrs. Tfowie’s room on th.- 1
car and stole a $1,500 diamond and peat I
From the Plaza Pr. Dowie went to the
garden, wher. ho restored order out ■ f
the goner I confusion that prevailed ar I
outlined his plans in an interview with
newspaper men. Ho denied that he in
tended to raise a fund of 550.000.000
while hero and declined to say whether
be was going to found another Zion City
here. It is intended to begin the house
to-house visitations turn arrow and the
first publie service will be held in the
i ar.bn on Sunday.
Zionists Sing- Hymn.
As soon as the first car started the
i rowd on board began singing a hymn
and a large crowd of curious spectators
gathered round those waiting outside the :
ferry house. M n in the Dowie party
distributed tracts among them. The men '
were ill dressed in a uniform r< ■:=• lidding
it at worn by the United State.; infantry. :
The women did not wear uniform-
The crowd around the ferry house grew ■
so large that it blocked tie street an 1
police drove the spectators back to the
curb. Uno of the features of tin party ■
was the junior choir, consisting -f about j
titty little boys. There was also a drum I
and fife corps of thirty men dre ej in j
khaki uniforms. Thirty per cent of the
party were women and children of all i
nationalities.
Arrival of Elijah 11.
Dr. Dowie. himself, arrived in Lis spe- |
rial train at the Grand Central station, 1
disappointing the crowds who were 1
awaiting him at the West Shore railroad I
ferry, his train having come from Al- '
hany over the Hudson River division. |
His private carriage was awaiting hi a
at the West Shore depot and the Zinq, i
leader with his son and two lieutenants j
took a pulilie hack to the hotel. A num '
her of his own people greeted Dr. Dowie. I
t at there was little demonstration.
Another train bringing Dr. Dowie s ad
herents had previous!} arrived on the '
New York Central train.
Besides his son. Dowie was accom
panied by his wife, Carl F. Stern, chief
of police of Zion City, and Dr. Massey. :

I Jt is reported that a council of the ‘elder
: I statesmen p.-eterans outsub the cabinet)’,

: who has been appointed chief assistant to

I ’Russian military activity at Yongam-

1 ‘ line paper says that Russia .Taints un-
I del her treaty with China the right to
I retain troops in Manchuria, as the robber
■ ■ bauds constitute a danger to the Rutsian

, j The Morning Post claims to have ex
i eelb nt authority for the statement that
Japan has no Intention of issuing an ulti-
’ I matum, but has asked Russia for an
: assurance that she is not seeking to in
. i ' lude Korea in her sphere of influence.
I The negotiations have been extended over
' a long period. Russia at one point offered
Ito give a satisfactory undertaking in
i regard to Korea on condition that Japan
i would undertake not to support any de
’ manti for the evacuation of Manchuria.
. Japan declined to give such an under-
■ taking. 1> lug determined to keep the two

Great Army at Port Arthur.
Chee Foo, October 16.—The Russian a<l

proposes to organize a municipal eoutieil
with one American and two British mem
bers. Their decisions will be subject to
the administrator's approval.
A closer investigation of a number of
troops reviewed by Viceroy Alexieff at
Port Arthur seems to indicate that the
official total of 76.000 would have been
correct if ail the corps engaged contained
their full compleniimt. Jt appears, how
ever, that most, of the regiments had only
about two-thirds of their nominal
strength. Tin- total of the Russian army
about Port Arthur is 75.000 men.

Before the unveiling of the statue the i

American members of the tribunal.
State Department Notified.

nouncing the decision of the Alaskan

that the commission had reached an

In every public service, as in every

there will occur misdeeds. This
cannot be avoided; but vigilant
watch must be kept, and as soon as
discovered the wrongdoing must be
stopped and the wrongdoers pun
ished.

Comment on the Decision.
- i Washing:, m. (Jmober 17. -Secretary
1 Hay tonight rei'ivcd a cablegram
- I from London announcing that the
' Al.-I-itn '"itinlaiy commission ■x-
■ j p.-eted t i hand down a decision on Mon-
1 day, but that no final agreement had
■' . been reached. No further details of the
1 i cablegram wore given out.
I Comm, ".ting on the Associated Press
| dispatches, a high administration official
’ | said:
- ’ "State department officials are natural-;
i ly profoundly gratified that an agreement
1 , Ims been io., bed favorable to the Amei-
I icon contention. As was pointed out to
night by a high official, the decision is
’ "a complete justification of our claims.
; an evidence of the skill with which the
American case has been presented and a
. tribut< to the tairntss and broad-mind-
' edr.ess of the British member of the coin-
, ti -sion. Lord t'l i.-f Justice Alverstone "
. Th.- eff. i't of the decision, it is stated
, here, is to have the Alaskan boundary
I practically where it is now. The main
point of the Canadian contention involves
tip out et from the Klondike goitl field,
at the head of the Lynn canal, including
tlie ports of Skagway and Ilyea, through
, which the Klondike business is transact
ed. These ports remain .American terri
, tory. The decision is taken to concede
the American claim to a strip of terri
. , tor;.- ten leagues in width from tide wa
ter and extending from rhe head of
; Portland cana.i to the I4lst meridian
west longitude. The Americans laid es-
I . eia! stress upon their contention that
i this strip should be measured from the
J heads.of estuaries or hays, while the
: Canadians argU'd that the measurement
; should be made from the main water of
i the ocean. The control of the sites of
• Skagway and Dyea. was involved in the
I controversy.
, initial duty of bringing malefactors
) to the bat of justice must be diligent
i in its discharge; yet in the last resort
the success of their efforts to purge
the public service of corruption must
I depend upon the attitude of the
! courts and of the juries drawn from
I the people.
, T.i nd. rship is of avail only so far as
lucre Is w:s, and resolute public semi
meat behind it.
