GENERAL BOOTH IN ENGLAND
THE OVERSEA COLONY.
Press Association —Electric Telegraph—Copyright, Lokdon, Februtuy 13. General Booth states that the terms offered in New Zealand for the establishment of hi 5 over-sea colonies were easier than those of Cape Colony, but the distance barred their acceptance.
General Booth on his arrival was met with an enthusiastic though rather grotesque welcome. The steamers which went out to meet him were profusely decorated, bands played and volleys were fired. There wae also much cheering and blessing.
Bombs and rockets were also fired at intervals. Five thousand of his ••soldiers" and a regiment of Amazons, escorted tbe General to the Salvation Hall in Southampton.
