A SPLIT IN THE SALVATION ARMY.
New York, October 23jrd. — A meeting of Salvation officers yesterday, which was attended by a large number from all points within 150 miles ot New York, discussed separation from the parent organisation in England. The Salvationists began here only a few years since with a captain and six " hallelujah lasses ' from England. Now they have battalions all over 100 cities, and own much property. From the first the army has remained under the authority of Major Moore, commander in this country, taking its orders from General Booth, commander in England. After a long discussion yesterday separation was agreed upon. The trustees and directors will meet soon to elect a General and will probably raise Moore to that rank. He will turn over all the real ostato, worth $30,000, and per- 1 sonal proporty worth about $38,000, to the trustees. Great opposition is expected from General Booth. It is bolieved that ho will send representatives to this country to make a fight, Moore is a naturalised Englishman.
