Mr. Henry Senior, ne in Brooklyn, . Y., is one of the few wood engravers who continue to do commercial work. His office in New York is in the same building with the counting room of the Ripans Chemical Co. Three or four years ago Mr. Senior was presenied with a box of Ripans Tabules. These he took home. Ever since that day he has been a regular customer. His wife’s mother is pronounced in the opinion that for gastric troubles, or for any irregularity proceeding from a disordered stomach, the Tabules are the best medicine to which her attention has ever been directed during all her long experience. His wife at one time astonished him by asserting that for a sore throat the Tabules were a remedy of amazing effectiveness. He understands this better * now since he has learned from his physician that sore throat—like many other apparently local troubles, notably headache —is often a direct result of a disordered stomach; and for this Mr. Senior well knows that the’ Tabules are a specific. > $cash ete potatoes. ~no better time than now, for they will not be Iower.

Cockerill in New York Herald. The detachment of the Salvation Army which is to evangelize Japan came to To- kyo September 9, under command of Col. Edward Wright and his able lieutenant, Mrs. Wright. The little force, consisting of ten men, seven women and three Saxon- haired children, took quarters on the edge of Tsukiji, that portion of Tokyo largely given up to the missionaries and their churches. You see,”’ said Col. Wright, “that we are living very plainly here, In humble Japan- ese style. We have not begun our cam- paign yet. because we want to get accli- mated and to know a little more of the pco- ple and the language. We now eat two tical a day of Japanese food, etrictly, and one semi-European meal. Besides, we do not want to begin work until our Japanese uniforms are ready. We propose to dress as the Japanese dress, a little different, er- haps, in color. We shall wear our ‘war crest’ upon our backs, as every Japanese toiler wears the mark of his calling upon his back. We want these people to see that ‘Wwe come among them to live with them and to be of them. We shall all adopt Japanese names. From this time on we must earn a living in Japan. [ shall carry on the war upon the old method, which forced the army al- ways to live upon the country which it occupied. We shall have great difficulty in getting the Japanese to contribute at first, but I shall teach them. Japan must pay for her Christianization and education.” [CAUSE OF CUBA Washington Sympathizes With the Insurgants in Mass Meeting. ——— SENORS PIERRA AND QUESADA SPEAK Martial Oratory, Drum Tap and Bugle Blast. Poetry, Song, ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING ee ee Metzerott Hall was filled last night by an enthusiastic audience cf sympathizers with the cause of the Cuban insurgents. The gathering included representatives of all classes. Many ladies were present and several sat on the stage with the speakers and committemen. Applause, loud and long, greeted every speaker, and when the resolutions expressing the sense of the meeting wer? put to vote the entire audi- ence voted as with one voice, and when the “contrary minded” were called a death- like stillness ensued. The same unanimity of sentiment was shown when Mr. Simon Wolf proposed by resolution the appoint- ment of a permanent committee of fifty to “aid and foster in every lawful and proper way the interests of those now engaged in the struggle for Cuban libert; The American flag draped ti.. speakers’ stand, from the front of which hung a blue silk banner bearing a_ beautifully paiated figure of Cuba Libre.

Croffui, Col. John A, Joyce and Louis Schade. The Mecting Opened. Mr. Simon Wolf called the meeting to or- der at 8 o'clock, introduced Corporal Tan- ner as the permanent chairman of the evening and escorted him to the chair. Cor- poral Tanner made a stirring speech, criti- cising the administration for its luke- warmth on Cuba’s cause, pleading for fair play and forecasting the time when the Cuban republic, free and independent,might ask to become ‘a part of the United States. On motion of Dr. Coe Mr. W. Burdette Matthews and the newspaper men present were made secretaries of the meeting. Dr. Rankin was then introduced and offered resolutions declaring sympathy with the in- surgents, asking that belligerent rights be given them. These resolutions are to be sent to President Cleveland, the Secretary of State and both houses of Congress. Dr. Rankin spoke for twenty minutes in support of the resolutions, arousing much enthusiasm. “Shall Cuba be free?” asked Dr. Rankin. ‘Shall she, with her mountains with metals, clothed with mahogany and cedar and ebony; her savannahs and meadows rich with sugar and cotton, their coffee and rice and maize, thelr pineapples and bananas; shall she have a chance? Her chance, given her by her Creator when He sent this gem up from the depths of the sea; given, but possible only under a free government? We do not ask that this government shall come forward, as she did under President Polk, and offer to buy. hey are in arms against despotism, as our fathers were. And we ask, that they be given a fair fight; a chance to lay down their lives as our fathers did, and to build after the pattern of our fathers, unmolest- ed and not afraid. You say Cuba is not fit for self-government. We ask that she may have a chance to show whether she is. Nothing but the practice of self-government will fit her.” “Let the eagle stretch its wings and press the free air until It may soar into the Empyrean and set its eye upon the sun.” William A. Croffut was then introduced, who after a speech read a patriotic poem written for the occasion. Senor Pierra’s Address. Senor Fidel G. Pierra made a speech, tell- ing who the leaders of the insurgent party are, describing the character of the upris- ing and its meaning on the page of history. Upon the practical grievances of Cuba Senor Pie:ra said: “Spain draws from the island a yearly revenue of some $26,000,000. A sum not much smaller than this is also extracted, but does not go into the public treasury, because it is stolen by the offi- cials. I will give you an example of how the stealing is done. The custom duties, for instance, yield to the treasury some $12,000,000 per annum, but this does not represent more than about 50 per cent of the merchandise imported. The other half is not declared at the custom house, and the amount of duties due upon it is divided between the officials and the importers, the great majority of which are Spaniards. ‘The same system prevails in all the other branches of the revenue. This is known by everybody in Cuba, and no public man in Spain is igrcrant of the fact, for many of them have a considerable share in the di- vision of the spoils. Every official who comes to Cuba has to provide a sum at least equal to the salary which he receives for the agent he has employed at the city, town or village where he resides, another similar sum for the Madrid agent, and still another for the head of department or functionary who appoints him to the posi- tion. This, ladies and gentlemen, I do not state upon mere hearsay, for I have actual personal knowledge of the facts. “Again, owing to the differential customs tariff in favor of Spenish manufacturers, the Cuban consumers aie compelled to buy in a dearer market and to pay them a tax amounting to several millions a year. Add up all these various items and you will find that the Cuban people are paying to Spain a yearly tribute of over $#),000,000, a crush- ing burden for a country with only 1,600,000 of population, no matter how vast its nat- ural wealth may be, as it really is. “You will naturally suppcse that the $26,- 600,000 of revenue which gocs into the treas- ury suffices to cover the expenditures of the government, but it is not so, for these lat- ter amount to over $34,000,000 per annum, and for several years past there has been an annual deficit of from $8,000,000 to $10,- 000,000, Simon Wolf's Remarks. At this point the Henderson Drum Corps stirred the audience to more applause with the inspiring notes of “Yankee Doodic” and ‘Dixie’ on fife, drum and bugle, after which Mr. Simon Wolf, -in well-turned rhetoric, voiced the American sense of fair play and justice. He sald ‘time makes all things even, Spain wrung)from the Jew the money that sent Columbus to discover a new world for her, andsmow, as a He- brew, he was heart and soa] in sympathy with Cuba against Spain. Mr. Wolf alluded to the action of Spain in cording to the confederacy belligerent fights when it was supposed the Union cause would fail, and said this was now the chanoe to return the compliment. teal Col. John A. Joyce read a spirited poem. Mrs. F. Martin del Gostillo sang in a sweet voice with good effect! a song entitled “Cuba, the Queen of the Antilles,” and be- ing encored, gave ‘Home,’ Sweet Home,” beth songs receiving deafening applause. Senor Quesnda’s, Eloquence. Serer Quesada then came forward and made an eloquent and {mpressive speech. Senor Quesada alluded fo the words attributed to Gen. Rawlings on his death- bed, “Cuba must be free; see to it that Cuba is set f-ee,” and said Washington was sacred ground, on which lovers of freedom shoulé meet. In the courve of his remarks he stated that in the audience was a representative of the government organ cf Spain, “El Im- percial” of Madrid. An Appeal to America. Denying that the insurrection was an ad- venture, Senor Quesada closed with an elo- qvent arpeal. “We shall establish our republic,” said he, “with the help of American public opin- ion, which can never be bought; with the aid of the most precious of all gold, ‘our reliarce in the love of liberty which God has planted in us,’ and we shall fight on to vetory or death. “We appeal to the world for our cause; we count on the prayers of your women, ard fearing reither banishment nor ex- termination, we hope to sticceed. In the name of my native land; Cuba, and of her 40,000 brave soldiers, we ask you, Americans, for your vows, for your sympathy; we appeal to you not in your own words, but in those immortal ones pronounced on a question ot so near the American heart as our own, but involving the same principle, the prin- ciple of hvman literty; we shall appeal to you, Americans, with the grand and solemn Geclarations of the most eloquent of ora- ters, Daniel Webster: “Let us readopt the Declaration of Independence and the prac- tices and policy which harmonize with it. Let north and south—let all Americans—let all lovers of liberty everywhere join in the great and good work: Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for them- selves, and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.’ A motion providing for a permanent com- mittee to aid Cuba was adopted, a tele- gram of sympathy from Mayor McKenna ot Pittsburg was read and the audience then sang the doxology and dispersed. — THE KATAHDIN A SUCCESS. Requirements More Than Met and Under Adverse Conditions. The Ammen ram Katahdin had her offi- cial trial yesterday over the Long Island sovnd course, and made 17.12 knots speed, giving the builders a $7,500 bonus. Full head of steam was given the ram when within a mile of the Dolphin, off Horton's Point, and she made, it Is esti- mated, a seventeen-knot headway, even against a strong tide. Head tide impeded her progress both ways, west and east, but this will be taken into consideration by the naval board. Over a portion of the cobrse 151 revolu- tions were given the ram, amd at times the hull was completely submerged. No per- son was allowed on deck; and all hands were below, with hatches and dead-eyes securely clesed. The pilot ‘and wheelsmen came in for their share of a wetting in the conning tower, that apaytment taking sev- eral waves, which the wind and speed both helped develop. The Katahdin is designed exclusively for ramming. She is 251 feet long, 45 feet wide and draws 15 feet of water. It is claimed by her designer that she can sink any bat- tle ship that floats. The Navy Department has received the following telegram from Capt. Picking, president of the naval ‘board which wit- nessed the trial run of the ram Katahdin on Long Island sound yesterday: “Official trial of Katahdin. Vessel steady, without vi- bration at top speed. Well and carefully beilt and fitted. Engines performed ad- mirably. Only usual quantity of water used on the bearings. Boilers made steam readi- ly and in sufficient quantity. Weather promised well at the beginning, but on the return run stiff breeze ahead drove spray heavily over the vessel and made some sur- face sea. Stearing gear thoroughly effi- clent; vessel steered and turned well. Time of shifting the helm, seventeen seconds. Tidal observations not yet in.” ——_—_—_——_+-e+______ JUDGE KILGORE’S REPLY. It in Intended to Show That Charges Agninst Him Are False. The Attorney General has received from Jidge C. B. Kilgore of the United States court for the southern district of the In- Gian territory an answer to the charges nmede and filed by Mr. W. O. Davis of Gainesville, Tex., on September 18 last. These charges allege incompetency, oppres- sion in office, gross official misconduct; that Jvdge Kilgore is no lawyer. had no qualifi- cations for the position; that his mind ts not of a judicial bent; that he brought a “hungry gang” with him to the Indian ter- ritory, bent on making money. The judge says that the allegation that his mind is not of a judicial bent he cannot discuss without trarscending the limits of propriety, but as to the other allegations he takes up and discusses each one in detail, and in some irstances quotes from the court records, with a view to showing that the charges are unqualifiedly false. The allegation that Judge Kilgore said to Mr. Davis that if he made charges against kim he would cut his throat, is character- ized as false. During a conversation with Davis, Judge Kilgore says that he (Davis) drew his knife on him and demonstrated threateningly. At that time the judge told that Davis had the advantage of him, and that he knew he could not engage in a personal altercation with him, but that if he undertook to assault him with his knife he would drop him out of the window. ‘The reply is a lengthy one, and is evident- ly intended to answer each allegation made. The substance of the answer is that the charges are wholly false, and were prompt- ed by malice, and that Davis’ supporters in the matter are either disappointed politi- clans or are influenced by !mproper motives. —__-»— ARMENIANS TO BE EXECUTED. With Responsibility Rioting at Trebizonde. A sensation has been caused at Constan- lirople by the report that three Armenian notabilitles of Trebizonde, including a prominent +cclesiastic, are.to ne executed on the grovnd that they are responsible for the recent rioting there.” According t> statements made in Arme- nian circles, about S00 Armenians were killed durirg the fighting at Bitlis with the Turks. The loss of the latter is said to be trifling. $ Advices from Moosh say that the leading Armenians of that locality have been con- ferring with the representative Turks of that city and reighborhodd as to the means te be adopted inorder tO prevent the ouz- break there of disorders similar to those which have occurred recently in different parts of Armenia, and which have resulted in so much bloodshed. It is added that the Turks stipulated that the American missionaries, who are dis- tributing relief to the suffering people of Sassoun, withdraw from ‘there in three day otherwise the Turkish notabilities claim they fear there will be a massacre such as has just occurred at Bitlis. In view of the critical situation of affairs outlined abcve, the United States minister, Mr. Alexander W. Terrell, has advised the American missionaries to withdraw tem- porarily from Sassoun. 00 PALMA MADE MENIS' TER, Charge for He ix Now Head of the Entire Cuban Party. Thomas Estrada Palma, delegate of the Cuban revolutionary party, has received ad- vices that the Cuban assembly (or deputies) have appointed him minister plenipoten- tlary. The election took place in Jimagun- yu, and was unanimous. The office of minister plenipotentiary makes Senor Palma the head of the entire Cuban party, with power to act on its be- half as he sees fit. THE CASE AGAINST HOLMES What the Prosecution Have Thus Far Shown. Detective Geyer Tells of the Prison- er’s Contradictory Statements Re- garding Pitezcl’s Body. In the afternoon, after The Star's report closed, the defense in the Holmes trial at Philadelphia yesterday scored an important victory and one that will keep the prosecn- tion down to narrow lines. Detective Geyer was telling his story, and when he reached the point that referred to Toronto and the finding of the bodies of the Pitezel girls, Mr. Rotan objected. Mr. Graham fought him with all the vigor at h's command. But the young lawyer downed his older and more experienced opponent. Judge Arnold decided that the questions not be asked. This mcans that the small army of witnesses from other Places cannot tell their stories unless they bear directly on the case of Pitezel. They cannot relate the story of the murder of the two little girls and of the little boy. This means much. There was no session last night, and into the late hours of the night Mr. Graham :.nd Mr. Barlow were together mapp'ng out ne Ines of battle. So fur they have shown a mot!ve for mur- der, they have established that the body is that of Pitezel and they have shown that Holmes profited by the man's death. Both by the prisoner's own confession and by the testimony of others they have establisa- ed that there was a conspiracy to defraud the Fidelity Mutual Life Association and that Holmes and P‘tezel had been jointly engaged in other questionable enterprise: They have shown that Pitezel was last seen alive on Saturday night and that ke died between then and Monday. They have shown that the body was arranged by some hand; that the corpse was burned and the furniture in the room arranged. They nave brought medical testimony to indicate how he died. They have developed susp!cious ac- tions on the part of Holmes, and the fa that he was away from his w'fe on Sunda, the day the murder is believed to have oc- curred, for five hours, returning warm and a and leaving at once for Indianap- olis. Holmes admits the body to be that of Pite- ae but says the dead man committed sui- cide. On ihis latter line Hoimes will probably make his defense. He will fight hard to prove his point. If he does, it means his re- lease from one of the many accusations made against him. What Holmes Said About the Corpse. After Miss Yoke, or Mrs. Holmes No. 3, had been cross-examined by Holmes with- out bringing out anything important, De- tective Frank P. Geyer testified regarding a statement by Holmes in his cell on No- vember 20, 1894, about the body found in the Callowhill street house. Holmes said to him that it was not Pitezel’s body, but a substitute. “He told me he left the 11th street house cn Sunday, September 2, in the ‘morning, and went to New York, where he went to a medical student and procured a corpse. He put it in a trunk, and had it taken by a furniture car driver to Jersey City, where it was shipped on the same train to Phil- adelphia that Holmes came over on. He reached this city about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and met Pitezel at the main of- fice of the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany, giving him the check for the trunk. Then he went up to the 11th street house, and that night went west. The next place he saw Pitezel was in Detroit, where he met him at th> post office. I asked him where Pitezel and the children were, and he said In South America. He refused to give me the name of the student from whem he got the corpse, saying that the student was supposed to be dead, as years before he and Holm-s had swindled an in- surance company out of $20,000. Besides, the student was a prosperous man of fam- ily. He would only give his name in the event of being brought up for murder. He said he had told Pitezel how to prepare the substituted bod; to place it on the floor, with the arm. on the breast, put the liquid ir the mouth and set fire to it. The liquid had been used for cleaning clothes. He also told him how to force the liquid into the stomach by working the arms. He said Pitezel had told him that after he left the Callowhill street house he was walking through the city hall and threw away the hat he had been wearing and put on a silk one. Admitted the Corpse Was Pitezel's. “A few days before his arraignment for ecnspiracy, to which he pleaded guilty, 1 saw him ia the cell room, and he said the story he had told me about the substitu- tion of a body was not true, and that the corpse found in the house was that of Pitezel. I said: ‘Well, Holmes, if that’s the case, then you murdered Pitezel and the children.’ He said: ‘No, I didn’t. When I left the 11th street ho , at 11 o'clock on Sunday morning, September 2, I took the 10th street car and went to the Callowhill ase. I opened the door with a key nd, not finding Pitezel there, I went On tne third floor I found him. g on the floor, his arm across his breast and a cloth’ over his face. Nearby there was a bottle of chioroform, with a thin hose in it, so placed that the drops of chloroform woul! fall on the cloth. I put my head t heart and found that T he was dead. n I went down stairs and found a note, tellng me to look inside a bottle in the closet. 1 t nd hould a note in It, in w take his body and do just w ed him to do with the substitute cor S went up stairs again and dragged his body Gown: to the second floor, where It was found, placing the broken’ bottle and the pipe in position, and burning the face just as I had told him to do. =. a VANDERBILTS NOT IY TED. The Family of the Bride’s Father Cat by Yer Mother. “Holland” in the Philadelphia Press. NEW YORK, October 31.—The Duke of Marlborough surely must be somewhat em- barrassed by the strained relations which exist between his prospective mother-in-law and the Vanderbiit family. They have trade it necessary for the young nobleman to cultivate a certain tact which was al- ways easy for his father to assume, and which the young man has exercised with much discretion. Much has appeared in rrint narrating the preparations for and the details of the wedding of next week, but none of the accounts have reported the fect that it is the determination of those who have the arrangements of the wedding in charge that no member of the Vanderbilt family, excepting Mr. William K. Vander- bilt, father of the bride, shall be present at the ceremony. It has been suggested that the marriage of Miss Vanderbilt to the duke would very likely be followed by a reconciliation be- tween Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Van- derbilt. Yet the preparations for the wed- ding, as they have been described by one closely related by marriage to the family, would indicate that instead of reconcilia- tion Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt intends to sug- gest that she is and will remain apart from all association with Mr. Vanderbilt's near kin. Mr. Vanderbilt will himself give the bride away, but he will only meet his daughter the church, and when his function has been performed will depart as though he had been merely an invited guest. It is thought by friends of the fam- fly that the father would not have been permitted to take such part in the cere- mony but for the fact that both the bride and the bridegroom insisted upon it. My informant, who is very near the Van- derbilts through marriage, says that no rember of the Vanderbilt family has been invited to the wedding. Not one of the scns or daughters of the late William H. Vanderbilt has been bidden, and the sweep- ing slight is regarded as all the more re- markable because seme of Mrs. W. K. Van- derbilt’s brothers and sisters-in-law were careful not to permit themselves to be in- fluenced in any way by the sad -domestic troubles which caused the estrangem: tween Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt and his wife. That the slight is felt keenly necd not to be said. ee Could Be Heard. From the London Wonder. English Tourist (wild-eyed and ‘Hi! there, guard! I've lost me luggage.

From an Interview with ex-Attorney General Will- fams. Perhaps 1 was the most active man in the Senate in trying to secure the impeach- ment of President Johnson. When it be- came apparent that some of the republi- can Senators were in favor of the acquittal of the President it devolved upon me, as a sort of leader in the proceedings, so recognized by the other Senators, to ascer- tain what ila be done for the republi- j cans in a party point of view. I canvassed the Senate and found that as to some of the articles cf impeachment the Senate was very much div and, indeed, the: were some of the art so loosely drawn that I could not vote for them. At one time i! looked as though the pros- ecution was to bea d ful failure. 1 found there were five republicans who were outspoken in their that determination to vote inst all the elev- en articles of impeachment, and there were two whose votes were considered doubt- ful, one of whom was Henderson of Mis- sourl, and the other Ross of Kansas. I had very little doubt of what Ross would do, on account of sociations, but I was hopeful that son might v against the Presideat. lerson is av able man, but at the time was courting a very ‘complishea and beantiful daughter of Mr. Foote of Vermont, whom he subse- quently married. The Fooies were active and erdent friends of President Johnson, and I have been under the impression that the {influence of Miss Foote upon Hender- son Was more persuasive than all the ar- guments that I could vse to induce him to vote for tmpeachn and it is net im- probable that the destiny of the country, so fav as the atteimnted deposition of the President wes concer was determined by the infiuence of this young lady.

From the Kansas City Star. A Topeka man of a practical turn of ming has made a will regulating his own fun>ral, A friend who is a parson is to come from @ distance and say a prayer. Another rriend, who is not a parson, not even a church mem: ber, is to make a short talk. Another friend, who is a woman and a sweet singer, is to ree quest three musical friends—another wo- man and two men—to join her in singing ap+ propriate hymns: while another friend, 9 young fellow who learned the keyboard whil¢ “on the road” for a music house, is to preside at the organ. The undertaker is not to wear a plug hat, or a big diamond stud, or a dressy Prince Al- bert coat, or in any manner to appear as if he had snatched a moment from a banquet to bury the dead. He ts to be modest and humble, giving the corpse a chance for publia attention—its last chance. The pallbearers are not to be labeled. They will be distin. guishable from the corpse by the fact that they will be alive, and their duties will be en- derstood without wearing a printed sign. They must be xood fellows, too, bright fel- lows, and they zre requested to beguile the way to the grave with cheerful anecdotes of their dead friend. None of them may wear gloves—under takers’ gloves are so starchy and stuffy— and a man whose hands sweat is barred: it tarnishes the handles of the coffins. Grips | and signs, swords, feathers and bands are \ prohibited. The parson who shail the first prayer shzll say the last, and “sprigs of myrtie” or “acacia” are forbidden. The pallbearers are to up and witness the final closing of the grave.
