SALVATION ARMY.
London, Sept. 8
General Booth admits that he is up to his neck in financial difficulty, but he still relies on the public to provide £30,000 a year for " Darkest England." He states that he has already expended £IBB,OOO on the scheme, which he believes, once the corner is turned, will prove a great business success. He intends to begin a pawnbrokerage on the Parisian system. He asserts that the secession movement in Canada is of an unimportant character. General Booth declares that it is too late to attempt to cause a split in the ranks of the Salvation Army. The assets of the army exceed the liabilities by £55,000, including securities, which are valued at £25,000. He says that it is untrue that he is personally a wealthy man, and declares that he lives on one shilling a day.
