ELOQUENT SPEECHES MADE BY MISS CLARA BAR- TON, MRS. SPENCER, SENATOR PERKINS, REPRE- SENTATIVE BAILEY, BISHOP HURST AND OTHERS SUGGESTION TO CHARTER A VESSEL A project that will reflect great credit upon the enterprise and the generosity of the people of Washington was given a favorable impulse at the mass meeting of citizens held yesterday afternoon at the Congregational Church. The meeting was called in the interests of the Russian famine sufferers, and the widespread sympathy that is felt for the people of that stricken coun- try was shown by the large attendance. There was hardly a vacant seat in that great audito- rium. Although the rain was falling people braved the discomforts of the weather, and leaving their comfortable homes, came out through the cold, wet streets to show by their presence thatthe tales of want and distress coming from that far-distant country had not fallen on unheeding ears and indifferent hearts in this capital city. The eloquent speakers of the occas:on did not indulge in mere glittering generalities, but advocated a practical plan for relief. It was suggested in a letter written by ‘Miss Clara Barton, the president of the Red Cross Association, and was nothing less than that the people of Washington should raise fund to charter a vessel in which should be conveyed to the shores of Russia the stores of grain and other supplies which are being sent to New York consigned to the Red Cross Ass0- ciation. THE OBJECT OF THE MEETING STATED. Mr. B. H. Warner presided, and with him on the platform were seated the speakers, The familiar hymn, “From Greevland’s Icy Moun- tains,” was >volted from the organ by Prof. Bischoff. Prayer was offered by Rev. Frank Sewall, and then Mr. Warner spoke briefly but pointedly of the objects of the meeting. He said that they had come together to discuss this matter as citizens, members of a common com- munity. 1t was in that sense a sort of family | gathering. He read a letter from Rev. Dr. Me- | Kim, the rector of Epiphany Church, regretting that he was unable to attend the meeting. The reverend gentleman spoke of his sympathy with | the purposes of the gathering, and said that on a recent Sunday he had asked his congregation for an offering for the Russian sufferers, and $400 was contrib- uted. Mr. Warner said that there were a great many ,others who would iike to have been Present, but were detained from various causes.” He then, as he said, furnished a text for the meeting, a practical suggestion, which was referred to by all the speakers. It was that the city of Washington should furnish a vessel to convey food to Kiussia. It was thought that a suitable vessel could be procured for $10,000, Mr. Warner read a letter from Miss Clara Bar- ton, the national president of the association, making this suggestion. ‘MRS. SPENCER'S REMARKS. He then introduced Mrs. Sara A. Spencer, the secretary of the{ited Cross Auxiliary of this District. Mra Spencer said that the work of raising funds in this city for the relief of the Rassian sufferers had been only commenced aboutamouth ago. Something over $1.00 had been raised, which would maintain as many starving Kussians for a month, so simple was their mode of life. She spoke strongly and effectively in behalf of a Washington city ship, and in a coneise way enumerated the reasons which made prompt action necessary. The distress was so general that the Russian gov- ernment could not bear the entire burden of relief, as some had seemed to think was the proper course, while the other remedy pro- posed, emigration, was open tomany objections.

Two Exogvext sermons were delivered yes- terday at the Unitarian Church by the well- known divine, Rev. Edward Everett Hale of Boston. AT a meeting held Saturday evening, over ich Col. Lee Crandall presided, the platform A prominent Jew, in taiking on this subject re- cently, told the speaker that there was enough cf unassimilated people in this country. He believed that the best plan for the Russian Jews, for example, was to stay in the country of their birth. MISS CLARA BARTON. The next speaker, Miss Clara Barton, national president of the Red Cross, said that she was always glad to follow Mrs. Spencer on such oc- casions, for thén there was but little left that whic! adopted by the industrial conference at St. Louis, March 26, 1592, was ratified.

Simpson were thrown out an was necessary for her tosay. She was not go- ing to make an address, Whatever eloquence she possessed she put into her work. What was needed just now was to know what to do and how todo it. It seemed to her that the prob- lem of how to do it, as presented to the people of Washington, was to charter ship, as bad been proposed. A vessel of 7.500 tons could be chartered for $10,000. If the vessel is secured the Ked Cross stands ready to furnish tne cargo. The great state of lowa had been making con- tributions o: grain which would have been ut the seaboard before thishad it not been for the delays arising from bad roads. Contribu- tions had come in from Mlincis and from other localities, so that all that was needed now was the vessel to transport the supplies to Russia. This was the opportunity now pre- sented to Washington. Miss Barton paid a graceful tribute to the puble spirit and gener- Ous interest of the people of this city. Before introducing the next speaker the chairman read a poem entitled “Russia and the United States,” written by Rev. Dr. Cuth- rt SENATOR PERKINS’ SPEECH. Asa man who during his residence here as a member of the House had become identified with the people of the city, and who after his term had ended had about concluded to make his home here, only his own state wanted him and so placed him in the Senate, Mr, Warner called upon Senator Perkinsas the next speaker. He said the Senator needed no introduction to Mrs Simpson having two ribs broken. pb a eto ¥. M. C. A. Debate. At last Saturday evening's meeting of the ¥. M. C. A. Literury Society Mr. Downing gave @ very entertaining talk on “The Tower of London,” illustrated. ‘The question, resolved, ““That the signs of the times indicated the decline of the republic, was earnestly discussed by Messrs.

Mr. Arnell, as judge, decided the debate in favor of the nega- ive. for the next Saturday debate — Church Mass Meeting. As previously announced in Tux Stax the members of the E Street Baptist Church and congregation and a few of their friends met im the church building on E street between 6th ‘they to erect at an early day on the corner of 10th and N streets northwest.

Senator Perkins’ re- marks were concise and to the point. He said that he understood why a kind Providence had filled the granaries of the country full to over- flowing since the doors of this opportunity had been opened for the relief of suffering. Some thought that Congress ought to take charge of this work, while others were of the opinion that it ought tobe done by the people. At any rate an opportunity was now presented of going into this work as individuals. He spoke of the great destitution in a population of 20,- 000,000 of people caused by the failure of the ‘He thought that the effort ought to be tal cro} made to send out euch a vessel from tle ca city of the country. It should be known as a contribution from this city, and he said that the fund needed could be secured by gathering together the mites from individuals, REPRESENTATIVE EAILEY. The next speaker, Representative Bailey of Texas, made an exceedingly graceful and ef- fective speech. He spoke of the self-sacri- fieing labor of those who take the lead in such movements as this and said that, while he was in the heartiest sympathy with ‘the objects of the meeting, yet one of the leading motives thet had brought lim there was to come in by the holy impulses of charity. In sentences that were framed with such elegance as to give to his speech the melody of blank verse, he spoke of charity, the chiefest in the trinity of Chris- tian virtues and which so largely represented the spirit of Christianity. He expressed the conviction that such a vessel sent from our ea) ital to the shores of a foreign country would do more to bind the spirit of aggression and bring the world together in Christian amity than all the navies of the world. Commissioner Douglass occupied a seat on the platform, but Mr. Warner explained that a speech could not be expected from him, as his voice bad failed. As Mr. Warner explaiued a cold does not hesitate to lay 1ts hands on even the head of our District government. REY. DE. COREY. Rev. Dr. Corey, who was in the audience, was called upon and responded with a vigorous speech in which he took the ground that Con- gress ought to have sent relief to Russia. He hiked the suggestion that a ship be chartered by the citizens here. He was sorry that, as had been announced, contributions were not to be asked for at this meeting. He spoke of the prompt response made by the citizens of Washington to the appeal for the relief of the Johnstown sufferers. He suid that a committee ‘ought to be appointed at once, and he believed reason given in a humorous way was Wanted a meeting. Mrs. Spencer said desired not merely the loose change that ple were in the habit of i their t i f i t carry ‘and those could E Francis Riggs, at Bank.

Plympton and Hart that within two weeks the gas company would lay mains along Jefferson, Jackson and Waeh- ington streets from Taylor to Pierce, and twelve or fifteen gas lamps would be erected. Mr. Buckley called the attention of. the association to what he styled the “outrageous neglect” of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in not employing a watchman for the Monroe street gratie ero He referred to many narrow escapes of late. President King stated that the gate keeper, Thomas Roberts, was ab- sent during much of the day attending to his duties as Baltimore and Ohio freight agont and that nobody presided at the gates by night. Several speeches were made strongly condemn- ing the railroad officials. Geo. H. Armstrong, R. B, Buckley and J. E.

Thompson, ives, Lounsbury and Gaither, white, and Charlesand James Lee, colored. Dr. Church took the tes- timony given by eye witneuses to the tragedy. Deputy Coroner Schaeffer of this city made theautopsy, and Dr. Rozier Middleton, also of this city, was present in the interest of the defense. Mr. Waltpn Moore of Fairfax Court House was present as counsel for the prisoner. Four persons were examined, and those who had witnessed the shooting told substantial the same story as was printed in Saturday Stan. The witnesses told of seeing the pris- oner seated in his buggy with his wife. He had some words with a butcher named Veitch just before he met Hill, and had offered to bet ¥100 that he could whip Veitch. When he got into the discussion with Jake Brice and Hill he used euch offensive language that Hill threat- ened to strike him if he repeated it. He did repeat it, and Hill put his threat into execution, for which Campbell shot him. ‘The jury returned a verdict holding Camp- bell respoisible for Mill's death, and he will be held in jail at Fairfax until the case is in- vestigated by the grand jury.
