PLEAS FOR LUETGERT ATTORNEY PHALEN CONCULDES HIS ADDKESS TO THE JURY, Anti Ex-Judge Vtneertt Desiint the Cloning Argument for the Defense with a Diaplny of Oratory. CHICAGO, Oct. 14.—The flood of oratory continued in the Luetgert trial to-day, and it will last for two days longer. Attorney Phalen, for the defense, concluded his address after speaking two hours this morning. and then Attorney Vincent began the closing address in behalf of the defendant. The main point of his argument to-day was to raise in the minds of the jury a doubt as to whether Mrs. Luetgert is really dead. He admitted that she had disappeared, hut insisted that it had not been shown beyond all doubt that she was dead. Having spent much time in trying to create doubt in the minds of the jury, he insisted that there should be no half-way measures in the verdict. If Luetgert was guilty of this crime he deserved all that the law could mete out ro him, but if he was not guilty beyond all doubt he should be set free. Mr. Vincent insisted that the case was not one for compromise verdicts. It would not do to sentence the prisoner to the penitentiary, because it was just possible that the woman might turn up some day. If the jury /relieved that there was any likelihood of her turning up at any later day, it was their business to acquit the prisoner now. The little sons of Adolph Luetgert, who wore yesterday removed from the side of their father by order of Judge Tuthill, were not in court to-day when Attorney Phalen resumed his address to the jury. The absence of the children was taken by the prosecution as coniirmation of the assertion yesterday that the little boys were brought into court after an absence of several weeks simply to play upon the sympathies of the jurors. When this scheme was balked by the order of the court there was no longer necessity for the presence Os the children, and to-day they were kept at home. Luetgert shed tears in parting from his children last night. It was the iirst genuine display of emotion the sausage maker has made since his arrest. The alleged wife murderer brushed the tears from his cheeks with his big hands and kissed his fair-haired boys good-bye. Whatever may be the man's disposition toward others there can be little doubt about his affection for the children of the woman he is said to have murdered. The expression upon the face of Luetgert this morning indicated mote than words could express that he spent a restless night. “He is breaking down,’’ was the comment of those who know the man well. The strain is at last wearing out the overtaxed nerves of the prisoner, and it will not be surprising if total collapse follows In the event of conviction. Dark rings encircled the swollen eyes of the prisoner this morning. and his manner was subdued in comparison with the spirit he displayed some weeks ago. LUETGERT FEARS DEENEN. The arguments of counsel which bring up in review all the details of the famous trial affect Luetgert more than did the varied testimony of the witnesses. All the events of May I and the developments* since that time are marshaled into line and paraded before the jury, recalling to Luetgert’s mind the vast amount of evidence which is welded into the circumsantial chain. Most of all, Luetgert, it is said, fears the closing speech of State’s Attorney Deenen. The state’s attorney is a rapid, forceful and eloquent speaker. He is resourceful and his style is of the order that electrifies and impresses a jury. There is no lagging while he is speaking and the defense seems to dread the fact that he will prepare the minds of the jurors on Saturday for the reception of the court’s instructions. Although he was ill when he stopped speaking last evening Attorney Phalen wasi apparently much refreshed to-day and in good voice. He resumed his argument and made the declaration that the defense had not only broken the state’s circumstantial chain of evidence at both ends and in the middle, but that it had scattered the fragments to the four winds. He reiterated the contention that the state had not proved a corpus delicto of sufficient reliability for serious consideration w'hen a human life was at stake. “For aught we know Mrs. Luetgert is at this very moment In the enjoyment of robust health in the land of her nativity,” shouted Attorney Phalen. Then he let his voice down to a heavy whisper and added: “Or she may be employed in some family remote from the habitation of intelligent civilization in a partially demented condition.” The lawyer next tcok up the matter of the rings found in the middle vat in the Luetgert faetory. "These rings are considered by some people as the strongest feature in this case,” he said. "In one sense they are—or rather were until w T e proved beyond a question of doubt by one who had seen Mrs. Luetgert’s rings repeatedly that the rings found in the vat were never worn by her. They were not her rings. How did they get into the vat? I don’t know. Rather, I ask the question, were they ever in that vat? Policemen say they were, and that they found them in the bottom of the vat wherein the body of Mrs. Luetgert is said to have been destroyed by caustic potash. Eut policemen say many things and there were contradictions upon this point which ought to raise a reasonable doubt, I think, in the mind of any fair juror. If those things were in that vat they were placed there by someone who sought the ruin of Adolph L. Luetgert.” Perjury on the part of the witnesses for the state In relation to the rings was charged in common with perjury upon other vital evidence in the case. VINCENT’S ADDRESS. The speech of ex-Judge Vincent, chief counsel for the defense, was the leading feature of the afternoon session of court. It was the most eloquent argument thus far addressed to the jury. It was a plea full of pathos for a human life. Ex-Judge Vincent is a man of fine presence and of magretic personality. His voice is strong and pleasant to the ear and is fluent in delivery. He is also possessed of many of the arts of the accomplished orator, and brings his climaxes to the attention of the jury by facial expressions and gestures that impress the force of his remarks. “Gentlemen of the jury, was Mrs. Louise Luetgert alive on May 2 or is she dead?” began ex-Judge Vincent, and he paused a moment to allow the jurors to revolve the query in their minds. "Is Luetgert guilty, or is he innocent?" continued the lawyer. “I think it was Juror Boyd who, when asked, nearly two months ago, if he thought Mrs. Luetgert was dead and if he thought Mr. Luetgert had killed her, replied: ‘One depends very largely on the other.’ That was aptly put. During the progress of my address to you I shall have something to say later on about the threats of Mrs. Luetgert to disappear. Mr. Mc~ Ewen has said that people do not disappear of their own volition nowadays. Is the telegraph any more trustworthy or serviceable to-day than when Diedrieh Bicknesse tried to discover Henry Bicknesse, a brother of Mrs. Luetgert, when he disappeared mysteriously twenty-two years ago?” “I object to that,” interrupted Assistant State's Attorney McEwen. “There is no evidence to support that statement.” “Oh. but there is.” retorted ex-.Tudge Vincent, and he picked up a typewritten copy of the evidence and read a paragraph which sustained hhn. Then he went on to declare That disappearances are not unusual. “Who dares say with the positiveness that leaches beyond a reasonable doubt that Mrs. Luetgert is dead?” queried the speaker, pointing a warning linger at the jury. "And if she is not dead Luetgert is tn innocent man. We believe she still lives. None of the Bicknesse family knows to-day whether Henry BlckneSse is dead or alive. He disappeared twenty-tw’o years ago. He is. or was, as the case may be, a brother of Mrs. Luetgert.” Ex-Judge Vincent next paid his attention to the police department. He criticised Inspector Schaaok severely, and said the North Side police official had stooped to unvsual methods in this ease to retain his position in the police department. He charged perjury both on the part of the police and other witnesses in the case, and lauded the tistlmony of the witnesses for the defen -e who had supported the theory that Luetgert had begin the making of soap in his faetory on the fateful night of May 1. The experts of the defense were praised and those of the prosecution ridiculed. Ex-Judge Vincent is expected to speak the entire day tomorrow. War on Insurance Companion. LANSING. Mich., Oct. 14.—Milo I). Campbell, state commissioner of insurance, today Issued a circular which asserts that cltt*ens of Michigan are being swindled by

worthless fire insurance companies which have no legal standing in the State. He names twenty-two companies which, he says, have no authority to do business in Michigan, and promises to make public others as obtained. The commissioner today gave out a reply to allegations made by officers of a. fire insurance company of Saginaw in a petition for his removal. The petitioners charged him with maliciously, deliberately and dishonestly attempting to wreck their business, all of which Mr. Campbell denies and announces his intention of making further examination of the companies in question. FOR SCARE”PURPOSES. Storie* of Japanese Occupation of Hawaii as Viewed by a Missionary. MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 14.—Prof. Clay MacCauley, for the last seven years at the head of the Unitarian educational work in Japan, is in Minneapolis to-day and throws new light on Hawaiian annexation. He is inclined to believe the stories of Japanese o cupation and colonization by disguised soldiers are circulated by the anexation lobbyists in order to scare L'ncie Sam into prompt action. Japan, he says, is too poor as a result of the late war ever to think of anrn xation of the islands. She has her hands full with Formosa at present. Professor MacCauley says that Japan’s national sentiment is distinctly friendly to the United States, and accounts of insolence to Americans have been either grossly exaggerated or made from whole cloth. There have been some collisions between Japanese and Americans at various points, hut these, he says, are of no more significance than brawls likely to occur between American sailors and the street crowd at any foreign port.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1897.

SPEECH BY A PRESIDENT 1 M. FAURE TALKS ABOUT THE FUTURE GLORIES OF FRANCE. The Repnblie Will Fully Protect Those of Her Subjects Who llench Out for Foreign Trade. PARIS, Oct. 14.—President Faure was banqueted this evening in commemoration of his recent visit to Russia, The entertainment took place in the hall of the Commercial Exchange. The table at which M. Faure was seated was on a dais and wras covered by a canopy of tawny velvet fringed with gold. The banquet was organized by the merchants and manufacturers of France, of whom there were about 750 present. The President, escorted by a squadron of cuirassiers, arrived at 8 o’clock, accompanied by the officers of his military household. He was received by the presidents and members of the commercial tribunal of the Seine, the Chamber of Commerce, the banquet committee arid all the Cabinet ministers who were in Paris. The President was conducted to the taole of honor, the Land playing the “Marseillaise,” and the w hole assembly applauding. M. Uoy, president of the Tribunal of Commerce, who presided, toasted the President. President Faure, in reply, said: “I am pleased to find myself in the society of business men, where 1 can rely on a friendly reception Dy virtue or my own origin, or whicn 1 am always prouu. Let me ted you how deep was my emotion when Paris declared the patriotic satisfaction which the entire nation felt at tne consequence of the words exchanged between the Emperor and its President. I repeat, in order to place the country face to face with its responsibilities, that it is owing to its great wisdom and political spirit that the democracy is able to rejoice at the results obtained. It has known how to prove that republican institutions, to which it is unalterably attached, guarantee peace at home and Insure abroad that continuity of views and intentions, failing which nothing can be solidly and durably established. It seems as if it ought to definitely fix the destinies of the nations of old Europe and determine their respective positions in the world. “The needs and resources of countries which only yesterday were closed to all European contact have been revealed by explorers and expeditions. Already all these countries are preparing implements indispensable to working their wealth, schemes for arsenals, canals, railways and the like. It is for us to secure for France a large share in the possible execution of these plans and without losing a moment to go forth to the conquest ot new markets and to establish abroad numerous factories, which shall be so many hearths radiating French influence in favor of the emigration of capital which, vivified by your activity, will return to the mother country increasing her wealth and developing her power of consumption to the benefit of all. Hasten, under penalty of being anticipated by our foreign competitors, and of having Fiance excluded from the position which its capabilities and unquestioned commercial integrity give it the right to seek. “The state, on its side, knows its obligations and duty. It would be Utopian, however, to think that its action could be substituted for private enterprises. In return for their wise hardihood France will afford Frenchmen abroad the support of which they have need. The solicitude of the republic extends to all its children and to all those who serve it in far-off lands. Where a Frenchman is, there is France. “The great solemnity which is/to crown the nineteenth century, to consecrate its scientific and industrial glory and to lay the foundation of the destinies of the coming century will afford a criterion of the powerful resources which our beloved country can dispose for the prosperity and happiness of humanity. All nations, inspired by an admirable emulation, demand ample place in this splendid festivity of labor progress and peace. France counts upon you to participate in it in a way worthy of the traditions of France. Forward then, gentlemen, formard in, initiative and accomplishment for the glory and the greatness of the country!” Still Harping on Sherman’s Note. LONDON, Oct. 14.—The afternoon papers to-day take the same view of Secretary Sherman’s latest dispatch to the Marquis of Salisbury on the sealing conference question as expressed by the morning papers. The St. James Gazette says: “It will be a relief if the transatlantic Polonius is restricted in the future to playing the fool in his own home- and the foreign affairs of his country are transferred into more capable hands. But w r e could not count upon this too confidently. We ourselves allowed an elderly statesman to play tricks in the national name with national interests for many a long year.” The St. James Gazette taunts Mr. Herbert Gladstone with “copying Secretary Sherman’s manner” in a speech yesterday evening, in which Mr. Gladstone said that the Venezuelan question would not have been peacefully settled if there had been no United States concerned, adding that in the latter case "our ironclads would have been sent there and our troops would have made short W'ork of the Venezuelan question. But the United States appeared on the scene and the virtues of arbitration became obviously apparent.” Conference of the Kaiser’* Adviser*. BERLIN, Oct. 14.—Emperor William presided to-day over a council of imperial and Prussian ministers at the new palace, Potsdam. This being his first council in many months, and following upon his audience with Prince Hohenlohe, Dr. Miquel and Herr Von Bullow yesterday, all kinds of sensational rumors are current. There is no doubt that the naval and judicial reform questions were discussed, and it is reported that the ministers decided against gazetting the naval plans before Parliament meets. The fact that no official statement has been issued is held to indicate that a disagreement continues among the ministers on these matters. The Pope in Good Health. LONDON, Oct. 15.—A dispatch to the Daily News from Rome says: “The Pope, when receiving the Irish pilgrims this (Thursday) morning, appeared to be in excellent health, the only difference in his appearance from last year being that he seems to be rather more bowed. His voice could be heard clearly throughout the Sistine Chapel.” A Turko-Bnignrian Alliance. LONDON, Oct. 14. The correspondent of i the Standard at Constantinople says: All the preliminaries have been agreed upon for an alliance, offensive and defensive, between Bulgaria and Turkey, under which the governor generalship of Roumania becomes hereditary in the family of Prince Ferdinand. Crushed by Rolling: Vats. PARIS, Oct. 14.—A dispatch from Lille, in the Department of Nord, announces a terrible disaster at Cambriai, thirty-two miles from Lille. A large piece of the boiling vats of the Central sugar factory fell today, burning and crushing fourteen persons. Two of the injured are dead and others are expected to die as a result of the accident. Earthquake in Spain. MADRID, Oct. 14.—'There was a severe earthquake at Granada and Andalusia, at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Oscillations were from north to south and lasted several seconds. The inhabitants of the city were panic-stricken. Cable Notes. The Berlin leprosy conference has appointed a commission of twenty, including Prof. Virchow as president, and Dr. Dyer, ( of New Orleans, to prepare the way for an international leprosy society. The London Chronicle this morning says it understands that the budget of 1898 will propose an extra grant of £1,500,000 to provide 11,000 additional men for the army and “some amelioration of the soldiers' lot with a view of attracting recruits.” At the French Cabinet council yesterday President Faure signed the appointments of M. Jules Patenotre, the retiring French embassador at Washington, as French embassador at Madrid, and that of M. Jules Cambon. the retiring Governor General of Algeria, as French embassador at Washington. Fire Fighters Mangled. DENVER. Col., Oct. 14.—While driving down a steep grade on the way to a tire today Lee Bottom, driver of a steamer of the city fire department, was thrown from his seat. The engine passed over his stomach and Instantly killed him. W. R. Morley a fireman, was also thrown from the engine and received injuries that are likeiv to prove fatal. Bottom was a brother of John T. Bottom, a well-known attorney and

Democrats politician. Morley was formerly engineer ors the federal building, but was removed on the ground that he collected funds from federal employes for the Bryan Democratic campaign fund. TROUBLE FOR MR. LOGAN. Prohibitionist* in Arms Against the Son of “Black Jack.” CHICAGO. Oct. 14.—The coming Chicago horse show bids fair to result in a merry little war, in which John A. Logan, jr., figures as the center of interest. Mr. Logan, who is managing the show, has organized a club of aristocratic members known as the Bit and Spur, and has arranged for a clubroom where refreshments shall be served, |n a corner of the Coliseum, in which the show will be held. The Coliseum is in the heart of the Hyde Park prohibition district, and the Prohibitionists, led by G. W. Riggs, declare they will not permit the serving of liquors there. Mr. Riggs issued a tart statement to-night declaring that he never “went abroad wearing a borrowed uniform or a dead father’s medals,” and promising all sorts of trouble for Mr. Logan if the latter does not abandon the Bit and Spur Club project. The chief of police promises to back Mr. Riggs in the crusade. WELL CONTESTED RACES CLOSE, EXCITING FINISHES IN TWO EVENTS AT LEXINGTON, KY. ♦ 2:12 Trot Won by Atlinnio in Fifth Heat and 2:28 Trot by Cnraeulla in the Seventh Heat. ■ ♦ LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 14.—The racing at the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders’ Association track to-day was unusually spirited, and close finishes were very frequently seen. The first race was the 2:12 class for trotters, and was a most spirited contest. Athanio had the pole in the first heat and led all the way, winning in a drive from Abnet. The second and third heats went to the Gretna farm entry. After hot finishes with the Buffalo horse, Athanio managed to win the next two heats and the race by a narrow margin from Captain Jack. The Hamlin entry was favorite until Abnet had landed two heats, when the betting shifted to the latter. The race for 2:23 trotters was a long-drawn-out contest, three horses getting two heats apiece before the race was decided. Red Bee won the first and second heats easily. Alves won the third, and the fourth and fifth went to Caracalla. In the fifth heat the judges thought they saw something of fraud and declared all bets off on the heat. Alves won the sixth heat by a head, and before the seventh and last heat McHenry was put up behind Alves and Hutchins behind Red Bee, and the three were sent off to a .good start. This was the most exciting heat of the whole meeting. Alves led by a head from Caracalla, with Red Bee two lengths back until the eighth pole in the finish was reached, where all three closed up and in a whipping finish passed under the wire in what looked to he a dead befit between the three. The judges decided y)*t Caracalla had won and placed Alves second. The pacing race for the 2:20 class was unfinished after White Hose had won one and Moral tw’o heats. Faustino, by Sidney, trotted to beat 2:12% and reduced his record to 2:12%.

Great Surprise at Latonia. CINCINNATI, 0., Oct. 14.—The greatest surprise of the meeting came to-day in the Kimball stakes at Latonia, when Nuto, with 50 to 1 about him, beat a crack field of two-year-olds In a hard drive. Malvolio, w’hlch has won nine |ut of eleven races this year, was an odds-on favorite in the race, but the best he could do was to get third money. Nuto got away well and led the field all the way, winning by two lengths under the good ride put up by Perkins. Malvolio came like a flash in the stretch, but could not overtake Nuto and Don Quixote. In the .third event, a handicap at a mile and seventy yards, Lokl was a 4-to-5 favorite. The race was won by Skate, the second choice, after a hot finish with Paul Kauvar. Loki finished next to last. Opening’ nt Morris Park. NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—This was the opening day of the fall racing season at Morris Park, and better weather could not have been desired for the sport. The air was clear and mild, and there was a large attendance. The chief event of the day was the thirty-second running of the Nursery handicap, six furlongs, for two-year-olds, and. w r ith the exception of Hamburg and Previous, the best of the two-year-olds of the season were engaged. Lady Marian was settled on as a slight favorite over the eleven starters. Hampden and Kitefoot were backed to some extent, while the rest were only nibbled at. Plaudit, 10 to 1, won, in 1:15. Pointer, 2:02; Patclien, 2:03. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Oct. 14.—Star Pointer and Joe Patchen, the great pacers, gave an exhibition here to-day before twenty thousand people. The track w’as in good form, but a heavy south wind which swept up the track made fast time difficult. McClary drove Pointer a pretty mile, without skip or break, the quarter in :30%, half, :59%; three-quarters, 1:30%, and mile in 2:02. Joe Patchen was next driven a mile by John Atkinson and £ i the crowd wild, for he ran away with Pointer’s two first quarters, making the first in :30%; the half in :59, the three-quarters in 1:31% and the mile in 2:03 flat. The track record w r as lowered 4% seconds. Tobacco Companies Suffer by Fire. RALEIGH. N. C.. Oct. 14.—The city of Durham was to-day visited by the most destructive lire in Its history.

MISS CISNEROS’S ESCAPE KARL DECKER TELLS HOW THE FAIR CUBAN WAS RESCUED. And Also How He Forged a Passport and Eluded the Vigilance of General Weyler’s Police. ♦ . NEW YORK, Oct. 14—Karl Decker, one of the rescuers of Evangelina Cosio Cisneros from the Casa de Recojldas, Havana, arrived in this city on the Spanish line steamship Panama this afternoon. He was met down the bay by a number of newspaper men, and said: “I was commissioned to go to Cuba and deliver Senorita Cosio y Cisneros from the filthy Reeojidas prison. I started from New' York Aug. 28, determined to free the woman, though I did not see my way clear as to the plan to be adopted. After reaching Havana many plans suggested themselves to me, but each one proved impracticable. I tried to bribe the jailer or alcalde, but he wanted $16,000 for the job and positive assurances that he and his family could get to the United States. This was too rich a proposition for me." Mr. Decker repeated the story of the rescue from the jail as already told in his dispatches, and then related what happened after the girl was out of the prison. He said: “When Senorita Cosio y Cisneros entered our s.ianty adjoining the jail we let her rest a few moments and then took her to* a carriage waiting outside and drove to the house of a friend. The friend was holding a reception that night, which was a pait of the plot. The man w’ho drove the carriage was one of the conspirators. Senorita Cosio y Cisneros was exhausted from excitement when she reached the house, but she did not give way. On Thursday morning she was taken to the home of a friend, where she remained in secrecy until Saturday afternoon. “To reach the steamer for New York she was obliged to walk down Obispo street, the principal thoroughfare of Havana, at a time w’hen the street was crowded, and yet take her time and smoke a cigar. If she had skulked about the back streets she would immediately have been suspected. It w f as over a mile from the house to the pier. She had a passport made out under an assumed name. All the steamships anchor out in the stream. Senorita Cosio y Cisneros walked down from the house, clad as a rancher, and my companion and I followed. She sauntered along leisurely and once in a while turned about to see if we were following. We motioned her to go on. She grew more confident as she went along, but we could see that she was under a strain. She got on the launch and we waited, and when the launch returned from the vessel and she was not on it we knew that the scheme had worked like a. charm, “The day alter the jail break the town was astir over the escape of Senorita Cosio y Cisneros, a house to house search was begun and would have been kept up had not a telegram from Minister Dupuy de Lome at Washington informed Weyier that the girl was on the high seas and expected any day in New York. Then Weyier was mad. He threw the jailer, Jose Quintana, into prison, whereupon the jailer told about my attempting to bribe him. This, in connection with the surmise of De Dome, placed suspicion on me. I gave it out that I was going to take a steamer for Mexico. There was only one steamer leaving Sunday, and that was a Spanish steamer. I waited lor instructions from New York, and had almost made up my mind to start Sunday, instructions or no instructions. My instructions came, happily. “My passport was made out in the name of Karl Decker. In order to take the Panama Sunday night and run the gauntlet, I must get my passport vised and stamped with the seal of the secretary of the captain general. I knew' that my passport would never be signed and I learned that an order for my arrest was determined on, and that I was to be arrested at 5 o’clock Monday morning. I was in a bad pickle. I got a glimpse of the writing of Senor Carjoval, the secretary of Weyier, and copied it so that I had it down fine. Then I forged the vise signature. I determined to do without the seal. At the last moment I went to the wharf and took the launch for ttie steamship. The inspector looked at my passport and asked where the seal was. I assumed a nonchalant air as best I could and told him that Senor Carjoval was at the Ingleterre Hotel and, having no seal, he signed his name to a statement saying it was all right. The inspector hesitated and showed the signature to another inspector and he said all right, and I was safe. / “The Spanish authorities never thought for a moment that I would take a Spanish steamer. Nearly all the Americans take the American line. They did not think to guard the Panama and watch for me. They arrest all prisoners at 5 o’clock in the morning. They were sure I would be in town on Monday and they were fooled.” Senorita Cosio y Cisneros received a number of visitors at the Hotel Waldorf to-day, among them Gen. Julio Sanguilly, Henry George. Tom L. Johnson and exPostmaster Charles W. Dayton. Reinforcements for Cuba. MADRID, Oct. 14.—Reinforcements of Spanish troops for Cuba are being hurried forward by the military authorities. About five thousand additional soldiers will leave Spain for that island before the end of the present month. At the Cabinet Council to-day It was decided to pardon all Cuban/ exiles not included in previous amnesics, and to suspend the decree of Sept. 12, relative to legislative reforms in the Philippine islands. The decree ordered a vigorous suppression of political associations and the secret pact o ' blood societies. Women Released by Weyier. HAVANA, Oct. 14.—General Weyier, the retrlng captain general, has granted amnesty to forty-six more political prisoners, Including several women who have been incarcerated on the Isle of Pines. It is reported In official circles that a filibustering expedition, including Jose Loreto Cepero, an American citizen, and fourteen others, has been landed at the entrance of the River Arimao, orovince of Santa Clara, and has succeeded in joining the insurgent forces commanded by Rego. MISS WILLARD’S ADDRESSES. W hat She Will Talk About at Coirfing W. C. T. U. Conventions. NEW' YORK, Oct. 14.—Miss Frances E. W illard will address the delegates of the World’s Women Christian Temperance Union on Oct. 23. in Toronto, and the delegates of the National Women’s Christian Temperance Union in Buffalo on Oct. 29. These addresses will appear in separate pamphlets. They include seventy-five topics. Following are some of the salient points to be dealt with by Miss Willard: Total prohibition by law, by politics and by woman’s ballot; total prohibition of any form of regulation of social vice; total abstinence from gambling, whether public or private, on the race track or in the parlor. She congratulates Miss Slack, who has developed the work in Ireland; Miss Parrish, who is organizing in Japan; Mrs. Barney, who is introducing the system of police matrons in the cities of Australia and New Zealand,' Miss Phillips, who has started a White Ribbon paper in India; Miss Ackerman. who has organized the W. C. T. U. of Iceland; Mrs. Northam Fields, who has introduced the methods of Loyal Temperance Legion work into Great Britain; Mrs. Seimar, who has recently visited Finland, Sweden and Norway in the interests of the work, and refers with appreciation to the labors in the United States of the fifty presidents of States and Territories, four superintendents, twenty-nine organizers and lecturers. The press department, she states, has never made such progress as in the present years, referring especially to the metropolitan dailies as manifesting an interest in the work, the department of purity in literature and art having received its chief development through friendly editors. The work of Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, backed up by the W. C. T. U.. and which has placed sixteen millions of school children under scientific temperance instruction, is especially rioted, as is the fact that Mrs. Hunt was a delegate to the anti-alcoholic conference recently assembled in Brussels, where the strongest ground against moderate drinking was taken by learned scientists. The department of physical culture, whereby common sen-ie methods In dress,.

food and experiences are sought to be introduced through the public school system into the daily life of the on-coming generation is praised. The fact that the Canadians are soon to have a prohibition plebiscite to be followed rp, if successful, by a prohibitory law, is mentioned as the most encouraging token of progress in the past year. The enfranchisement of women in Arizona and the submission of amendments to give them the ballot in the States of New York and Washington and in South Dakota are referred to as evidence of the progress of women during the year. The labor question comes In for generous recognition, and it is declared: “We believe in living wages; in an eight-hour day; in courts of conciliation and arbitration; In justice as opposed to greed of gain; in the development of evolution, not by revolution. of universal brotherhood. We believe in the gospel of the Golden Rule, and that each man’s habits of life should be an example safe and beneficent for every other man to follow.” Miss Willard talks of our “patent politics,” and contrasts the success—of no license, in Cambridge, Mass., a city of 85,000 inhabitants, with the Princeton Alumni Hotel and the banquets where wine is furnished in “that goodly Presbyterian stronghold.” SANARELLI DENOUNCED - ♦ STRONG RESOLUTION ADOPTED lIY THE AMERICAN HUMANE SOCIETY. Inoculation of Hnmnn Beings with Yellow Fever Germs Called “Scientific Assassination.” ♦ NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 14.-The American Humane Society met in Watkins Hall to-day with a larger attendance than at the opening session yesterday, many delegates having arrived last night and this morning. The proceedings were opened with the reading of a paper on “The Witchcraft of Today,” prepared by Miss Georgiana Kendall, of New York. This paper treated of hydrophobia and cruelty to dogs. Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, of Chicago, delivered an address on “The Law of Sacrifice Versus the Law of Cruelty.” The question of vivisection was brought up by Dr. Jones’s address, and was briefly discussc*!. Secretary Rowley read a paper prepared by Mrs. Sarah K. Bolton, of Cleveland, O. The subject of the paper was “Homes for Dogs.” At the afternoon session addresses were delivered by E. E. Barthell, Bishop Fitzgerald and Dr. T. A. Atchison, of Nashville; Dr. W. H. Dalrymple. of Baton Rouge, La., and Rev. Dr. Lord, of St. Paul, Minn. Miss W'ill Allen Dromgoole, of Tennessee, will address the society to-morrow on the “Gamin of the Gutters.” The most important meeting of the society proved to be the one of this afternoon. Papers of great interest were read by E. E. Barthell, of Nashville, by Dr. Dalrymple, of Baton Rouge, La., and by the Rev. Dr. Lord, of St. Paul. The paper that stirred the convention most deeply was one by Dr. Albert Leffingwell, of Aurora, N. Y., on “Scientific Assassination.” It dealt with Dr. Sanarelli’s inoculation of healthy human beings with the germ culture of yellow fever. It is understood that some, if not all of the unsuspecting victims died, with all the symj toms accompanying the dread disease. The following resolution was presented and adopted by the convention: “Whereas, It has been currently reported in public journals that a .distinguisned Southern American physician engaged in scientific researches, alter vivisecting a large number of the lower animals, has not hesitated to inoculate patients confined in a public institution with the germ poison of yellow fever, causing them to suffer all the agonies of that dread disease and terminating in death, and ‘Whereas, The atrocious experiments, so far from exciting in this country universal condemnation and abhorrence, have been declared to be scientifically useful, and therefore, perhaps a ’pardonable crime,’ therefore “Resolved, That assuming the facts to be correctly reported, the American Humane Association, in convention assembled at Nashville, Tenn., hereby would record in the strongest manner possible Its utter detestation and condemnation of such scientific trifling with human life. It does not believe that any possible utility to science can diminish the guilt of murders like these; or that the secret poisoning of human beings should In the least degree be condoned because the victims were friendless and poor. It views with horror and amazement the assertion that scientific experiments terminating in death have been made in certain public Institutions in this country and it therefore calls on the scientific and medical societies of the United States to join with the American Humane Society in unreservedly condemning the subjection of human beings—patients in asylums, hospitals or other publio institutions—to any form of scientific experimentation.” The Philanthropic Conference. BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Oct. 11.-Mayors’ day of the Civic Philanthropic Conference was productive of a large attendance and considerable enthusiasm. Mayor Maybury, of Detroit, presided. The following papers were read at the opening session to-day: "How to Eliminate the Tramp from Society,” Bayard Holmes, M. D. f Chicago; “The Religious Aspects of the Labor Movement,” Dr. David D. Thompson, Chicago; “Municipal Reform,” Rev. J. P. Brushingham, D. D., Chicago. Rev. C. B. Wilcox. D. D., of Lafayette, *lnd., read a paper on “Lawlessness vs. Law Enforcement.” "This is the brightest hour of the world’s history,” said Dr. Wilcox. "Never was there so much fraternal love and patriotism as now. Government reaches its end through the medium of law. Every man’s liberty ends where the rights of his fellow-man begin. In America the people are sovereign. If one man be permitted to violate the law so may another—and the result is anarchy. A big nurse frequently buys up eloquent lawyers, witnesses and jurors. This.is one cause of lawlessness. If laws are defective, amend them, repeal them. The spirit of Christ is not so prevalent that we can live without law. A great government like ours should hear the wail of the lowest citizen.” Louis Selling, secretary of Hebrew Charities, Detroit, read, a paper on “Duty to the Unemployed.” Attorney General Fred A. Mavnard, of this State, spoke on "New Man and the New Era.” Royal Arc*l Masons. BALTIMORE, Oct. 14.—The Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons held the final business meeting of its present session this morning and elected the following officers: General grand high priest, Reuben C.
