AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING1 1 OF SYMPATHIZERS. Speeches by Governor Clarke Mat ' thews, of Indiana, and Assistant " District Attorney Kerr, or Pnll adelphla Tne Rtht to Aid Cubans and Intentions to Do So. Boldly Pro claimed Gov. jnatthewa' Speech. Philadelphia.Nov. 21 The cause of Cuba was eloquently and boldly adyocated at the Academy of Music to-night at a meeting held under the auspices of the Philadelphia Brigade, Pennsylvania Reserves. The prin cipal address was. made by Governor Clarke Matthews, of Indiana, who delivered the speech upon "Fr.ee Cuba" that he had pre pared to deliver at the Atlanta exposition. The audience was not large, but it made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in num bers and Governor Matthews and the other speakers were heartily applauded and the sentiments they gave utterance to in behalf of Cuban liberty were those of their audi tors. Governor Matthews waa followed by Gon zalo de Qaeaada, of New York, secretary of the Cuban Junta. Mr. de Quesada made an impassioned and dramatic speech, appealing to the sympathies of the audience for the struggling Cubans and asking that they be recognized as belligerents by this Govern mene. Resolutions of sympathy and promising aid to the Cubans were adopted. Thereso lutions alo called upon the Senators and Representatives of Pennsylvania and upon the two Houses of Congress when they meet to pass a concurrent resolution directing tbe President to recognize "The Republic of Cuba as a Belligerent Nation." A committee of the Philadelphia brigade wi II present the resolutions to Mr Cleveland. Capt W W. Kerr, assistant district attor ney of Philadelphia, made the most radical speech of the evening in favor of the Cubans He has attained wide notoriety of late as the owner of the steamships Leon and Laurada, which have been accused of landing filibustering expeditions upon the shores of Cuba. Capt. Kerr boldly proclaimed his right under the laws of this country to land men and munitions of war upon the coast of Cuba, and that the burden of preventing him doing this rested upon tbe maintenance or a blockade by Spain. He ridiculed tbe opinion of Attorney General Harmon that the laws of this country prevented bim from doing this and asserted that under orders from Washington every customs m- apector in the ports oi the United states become a Spanish spy. Continuing has he said: , ' And they might as well know, that until Cuba is free, ships will constantly sail from this country and land upon the coast of Cuba men and arms; furtbermbre, if they , keep their eyes and ears open they will hear of another expedition being landed in about ten days. They talk about risks We're willing to take the risks " Capt. Kerr spoke at great length in this strain, and told of the oppressive taxation imposed by the Spanish Government upon the natives of Cuba, and asserted that if this Government recognizes the belligerency of the inland, and sbou'd need men to go there and fight Spain, he for one would be willing to go. He laughed at the blockade that Spain is maintaining, and said that there were miles and miles of the fnban coast upon which filibustering expeditions could lnd daily without a Spanish cruiser being seen. Col. William Frazier, commander of the Philadelphia brigade, announced to the meeting that he had received word from Congressman Amos Cummings that the lat ter had to-day drawn up a concurrent reso lution, which he will present to Congress, rec gnizing Cuba's belligerency. Onvtmoi MiHhowg p.loRArl bis - adriittsa with a tribute to the "Monroe doctrine" which h introduced thus "There often comes a time in the lives of nations, as well as of men, when it becomes necessary to walk in new untrodden paths, to brush aside the cobwebs of tradition which but obscure the view, to grasp great living thoughts and meet the problems of a growing, progressive age in short, to find a way or make it." He quoted tbe examples of England and other foreign nations which bad not hesi tated to extend aid to suffering people in re mote parts of the world and added: "When Americans may suppress such sympathy, then may we listen for the death knell of freedom, and, fearing to voice tbe snirit which animates our breasts, brand us cowards all We. as a Government, with high regard for National honor., and Na tional dignity, my be reserved, conserva tive and diplomatic, but as individual citi zens, we may span the dividing waters with a hopeful generous sympathy and bid god speed to tbe Cuban patriot-in his sublime tiope and his holv ambition. Her cause is ju8t.,the right shall prevail, and, in God's own time, Cuba will be free." Following is a synopsis Of Governor Mat thews' speech: J&. "I esteem it ; a happy privilege to meet with you. the citizens of this proud city, rich in the historic memories of the found ing of our Government, and under the aus pices of an association whose members are moved by the noblest impulses and. the loftiest sentiments of patriotism an associ ation msenanimons and brave, tbe first to meet the generous spirit of the American ieople, to rob-Bectional difference of its bit terness and sting, and to proclaim upon the field of Gettysburg that brave men. though once opposed in-hostile strife could ming'e in friendly-reunion as citizens of a common country and together write ,the record Of Amerkan- valor and American magnanimity. It is a fitting time and occasion within the shdow of Independence hall, the cradle of freedom in the Western world, within the sound of the old bell ringing in the grandest eventin our pation's history to -ProclaimLiberty Throughout Ail the Land, nnto All the Inhabitants thereof." arodsurround'sd by the magnificent evidences of the strength and enterprise, the prosperity and the hap Dinesi of our people, to pause in our busy, self occupying career and seeming mdiner ence, to reviaw the history of our past, re membering the principles or wnicu our rattura fonpht. who bv deeds of valor and sacri fir threw aside the galling yoke, and tr nnhliclv exnreaa our sympathy ' with words of encouragement for a neighboring people, contending for the same rights and prindplaa fox independence and home Government. "In that golden age of discovery, Cuba was the first in ah the Western hemisphere to disclose her beauty to the venturesome and envetons Snaniard and soon thereafter became the base of the various expeditions of SDain aarainat Mexico and the Southern continent. Here were fitted other expedi tiona for discovery and conquests of rapa cious grged, of heartless cruelty and atro cious inhumanity, unequaled In the history of the world." . - ' The Governor then traced the further his tory of the "Ever Faithful Isle" and con trasted it with that of the Spanish republics that bad long since gained their autonomy. "Poor Cuba" be exclaimed, ."lulled tp sleep with false and deceitfol promises of reform and the honeyed fltttery of 'eyer faithful,-' awoke to find herself deceived, bound hand apd foot, her loyalty despised, rohoed oi ner birthright and only prey, ior spous. xne pages of history nowhere reveal more atroci ous Crimea against, uutanuuy, uiure uuei warfare and wicked oppression, mare exam-; Dies of outraged truth and Justice nor greater crimes against all Christian civilization man have marked onanisn misruie and despotism In Cuba.

The insurgents cansend nonej (he Bosnian auiaoriuep giYw THE LUNENBURG PRISONERS Decision of the Supreme Court The Parties in tbe Bands of the Cir cuit Court The Prisoners to Be Returned. : RicHJtoro, Va., Nov. 21 The Supreme Court of Appeals to day refused tbe applica tion of Judge Mann and Mr. South alL the legal reprentatiyes of the county of Lunen burg, for a writ of mandamus to compel the sergeant of the city of Richm ond to deliver the Lunenburg prisoners, the alleged Pol lard murderers, to the sheriff of Lunenburg to be taken back to that county. The cour1 intimates, however, that Judge Wellford, of the Circuit court erred in granting the writ of habeas corpus in the case. The opinion of the court was by Judge Buchanan and defines the functions of tbe judiciary and the executive After a state ment of the case. Judge Buchanan says: "ine respondent in his answer to tne rule to show cause why tbe mandamus prayed for shall not be awarded against him, places his refusal to obey the order oi the county court and tbe demand of the sheriff upon three grounds. "The first ot these grounds is that the Governor of the Commonwealth ordered him not to deliver the prisoners to the sheriff las directed by the county court. "The functions of tbe various parts or our Governtaaent are separated and distinctly as signed to the principal branches of it viz: The legislative, the executive and the judici ary which, withUi their respective depart ments, are equaled co-ordinate. 'K AUTthiuK i setf-eTidot in tlxe stroo- tare and organization of our Government, it is that tbe executive has no power to inter fere with tbe judiciary in the performance of its duties If the county court of Lunenburg, or its judge, committed error in making the order in question, the remedy was fn the courts. We find nothing in the Constitution or laws of the State which authorized the Governor to direct tbe keeper of the jail to disobey the order of the county court, and his act being without. authority iurnishes no legal answer to the rule, and shows no cause why the mandamus prayed for should not be awarded. "Another ground upon which the re spondent bsses his refusal to obey the order of the county court, is, that after the Governor had ordered him not to deliver the prisoners to the sheriff of Lunenburg county, he was required by the judge of the sis ia. l . 4.1 : i. t : l J XA v jn un court ui uio uiiy ui luunuiuuu iir produce the bodies of the prisoners before him, and that he now holds them suDiect to his order, a d files with hi" answer a copy of the proceedings before the ludge or that court in tbe habeas corpus case. "Tbe petition of the prisoners in tnar case, upon which the writ of habeas corpus was issued does not allege Tacts wnicn snow that they were detained without lawful authority, nor does it allege that they are so detained. When a court has general 1 risdiction over cas"8 of that class to which tbe one in controversy belongs, although the facts in the case may not have been sufficient to authorize the court to taxe jurisdiction, yet if it did so, the question of jurisdiction hav ing been thus decided by its judgment, can not be raided again except by a proceeding in error. "And it appearing from the respondents answer and the order of the judge of the (Circuit court that the prisoners are now held under this order, good cause is shown why tbe mandamns should not be awarded. !'It is hardly necessary to say that we have no donbt that the Governor and all other rfficials connected, with or involved in 'his most unfortunate and unseemly contro versy have been governed by tne utmost good faith in the performance of their dn ties, and in the assertion of their rights as they understood them An order will be ntered refusing tbe mandamus and dis missing the petition." ' This afternoon the prisoners were taken before Judge Wellford on the continued habeas corpus proceedings, and the proceed ings were dismissed. i he effect of this is the recognition or Judge Orgain's order directing that the prisoners he turned over to tne sneim ot Lunenburg county. counsel tor the prisoners asked ror time to present authorities showing that the prisoners were still in the custody of the Circuit court. Judge Wellford, through nonrtesy, game them until to morrow, bat clearly intimated that his action was final. Th Ann's Cotton Review. Niw York, Nov. 21. The Sun's cotton re view says: Cotton fell 3 points on Decem ber, but later, the whole list advanced 8 to 10 points beyond the closing prices of yes terday; then they reacted 4 to 5 points, after which there was a rally, which carried the market 10 to 11 points above the final figures of yesterday, and it closed firm with sales of 197,000 bales. Port receipts were 26.011 bales, agninst 25,667 last week, 41.308 last vear and 39 473 in 1893; thus far this week 173,898, against 168,022 thus far last week. To day's features were; The mam feature was the continued smallnesi of the crop movement. That undeniable fact 'really dominated tbe market from tbe opening to the close. The Liverpool news was not alto gather satisfactory, since that market opened unchanged on responses to the rise here yes terday, and although the spot business there was still liberal, the spot prices were weakN Then the Bombay movement was very heavy And there was more or less local and boutnern liquidation . JNevertneiesa tne price moved upward with little interruption, and ended at about the highest point of the day. Liverpool was still active; the . trade reports from Manchester and the Continent were said to be more favorable; the political and financial situation in Europe was re ported more satisfactory; continental spin ners are expected to buy freely during the remainder of the month; dry-goods were more active in New York as a result of ' the colder weather: some large houses were cov ering shorts here; other prominent interests were buying for long acount and Liverpool sent orders to buy. But above and beyond all wssthe lightness of the crop movement It was light at the ports, light at the interior towns, and the total for the week is expected to be much lighter than was expected a few days ago. It may be that some of the German element are assisting the lise for the moment in order to get a hard spot to sell on, but however this may be, it is certain that there are many believers in better prices for cotton It is certain that large quantities are being purchased by spinners and that the foundations of the market, so to speak, are thus ' being correspondingly strengthened It is not so much purchases of "paper cott h as purchases of the actual cotton here and abroad that give the market its present sol dity and strength. No Mining- Stock on tbe Exchange. Chicago, Nov. 21 The governing commit tee, of the Stock Exchange baa iven a knock-out blow to the proposition to list Cripple Creek mining shares.

The resolution ' was laid on the iMable by a practically unanimous Sa of the governorSj With sentiment eop1iyng against the listing of mining shares, vinqt at an probable that any thine f arther in this direction will be at temnted for the present.

Falling Off in Receipt Estimates for Current Tear Law for Diafillins Other Fruit Recommenced. Reduction in Gold, at New York' Sub-Treasury. Coinage to be Heavy Death of Portu- jruee Min ister. Washington, Nov. 21 Hiram Hitchcock, president of the Maritime Canal company, of Nicaragua, has submitted his annual, re port to the Secretary of the Interior. There are no new features contained in It except that the Nicarauga Canal Construction com pany has been reorganized and is now the Nicaragua company, -When the construc tion company failed ;in 1393 all work was suspended, but now the Nicaragua company is making active preparations for resuming the work under the contract which the com pany had with the Maritime company. The report of Mr. J. S. Miller,, of West Virginia, commissioner of internal revenue, made public to-day, states that the receipts for the fiscal year have; fallen below his esfimatea $27,753,000. This he attributes t the decision of the Supreme court declaring the income tax unconstitutional after only $77,000 had been collected. In regard to the next year, the commissioner says: After a careful comparison of the receipts from.all sources of internal revenue for the months of July, August and September, 1895, with the collections for the same months in previous fiscal years and giving due weight to the improved business conditions mani fested throughout the country in the pe culiar 1 nes touched by internal taxation. I estimate that tbe receipts from all sources of internal revenue for the current fiscal year-will aggregate $165,000 000. ihe receipts for tbe first three months of the present year show a decrease of $21,302. 000 in the taxes collected on distilled spirits as compared with the corresponding months of the last year when, there was a rush to take spirits out of bond in order to escape the unexpected increase of duty under tbe new tariff law. There bas been an increase of $460,600 in the revenue from tobacco and cigars; an increase of $792 630 from beer; a decrease of $137,000 from olemargarine.and a decrease of $20,300 from miscellaneous sources. ; , The preliminary work of attempting to en force the income tax law cost the Govern ment $91,000. as against $77,000 income tax collected and now in process of being re funded. Tbe commissioner closes his report. recommending annmber of amendments to existing laws and the repeal of free alcohol in the arts provision of th last tariff law. Among tbe amendments recommended is tbis: Amend section 3255 so as to allow tbe use of fruits other than anples, p -aches and grapes for distillation. This is desired In order to afford brandy distillers the privi lege of distilling par. prunes, apricots, oranges and other fruits nt for making brandv when they desire to do so. Great complaint reached this office during last season, when the early frost destroyed the oraage crop in the State of Florida and it was made clear that if the people had bad the privilege of distilling this fruit, they would nave realized a considerable amount npon the crop, which was rendered entirely useless for any other purpose There seems to be no good reason why the law Bhould not be modified so as to meet this mcst reasonable demand.

PANIO STRICKEN i FEMALES, Several Biff Factories Burning at the Same Time Hard Work to Save the Hundreds of Female Em ployes Heroic Work of Police and firemen. -' - T ..... Chicago, Noy. 21 A fire which caused a property loss of $500,000 and imperiled the lives of 500 persons, mostly young women, originated at 3 o'cl ck this afternoon on the third floor of Chas. Emmerich A Co'i feather and down goods factory, 175-181 South Cana1 street The conflagration was attended by Bcenes of intense excitement and a score of firemen narrowly escaped being killed by fire and falling walls. . When the flames were raging most furi ously, in spite of the best efforts of twenty- nve engines and a small army of firemen, firebrands were carried by tbe wind to ad- oining manufacturing buildings and it ooked: as if many more would have to go. The seven Btory brick-liuilding extend ing from 17 Canal street south to the corner of Jackson street, the nine story brick building adjoining on the north and the greater part of the four story brick building in the stme direction were entirely destroyed. - These buildings occupied nearly the whole of the block on the? west side of Cabal street, between Adams and Jackson street. The seven and nine story build ings were owned by Warren Springer, and the owner of the four story structure, which ia one-third saved, is William J. Wilson. The buildings "were amply insured Seven teen nrms were burned out and three dam aged by falling walls and water. The losses of the above firms are estimated at $350,000 and the building loss is $150,000 Tbe hre started from an explosion of chemicals used in cleaning feathers, and the rapidity with which the flames spread in tne .Emmerich factory, where 200 girls and women were employed, created a panic in that building The frightened .employes on the upper floors rusbel for the elevators which were small and few and the stairways were soon jammed with the horror-stricken and fainting females. Cool headed men and police officers summoned by the fire alarms in quick succession came to tbe res cue and prevented a fire horror. Officers Btood guard at the elevators apd stairways to prevent more than a safe number of women using those means of ex t. - The excitement was as great among tbe 200 female employes of the Banner Waist company, whose fac tory adjoined. tbe JCmmerich factory. -Only a thin partition Wall divided the Springer buildings which were practically one, and in an alarmingly short time flames had extended up and down and through the wans to tne buiidines on each side. The police and firemen had a hard task to get all the young women in safety to the -street, many having o be carried out unconscious or else driven Out, because they wanted to save their small personal property, while there was not time for all to get their cloaks and bats. So far as the police learned all who were employed in the buildings escaped without serious injury, although many were bruised, and scratched.
