To the Editer Of The TIL IA O.
sir: In The Tribune of the 9th inst Inquirer
makes some statements concerning the age OF 'ho
New Testament manuscripts. and In support thereoh
oives tations from the Encyclopedia britannica
We make no special obj elton To his statements or to
the quotations but desire simply to call attention 10
his erroneous conclusion. He says I'VE are ASKED
N believe that oral traditions Of these writings were
handed down and after lapse of nve centuries re-
corded in the manner described The truth IS thai
va are asked to believe such thing. Does not

yer, committed 10 writing during the first century or
t tho latest by the year A. ID. 125 The original
manuscript NAV not be in our possession, but this
nv no means makes dependent upon tradition for
tbc authority or integrity OF these books. There Is
not SPACE enough here for full argument, and We
therefore simply give the conclusion of Dr. GLADDEN.,
who certainly cannot be considered hyper-orthodoG.
In hs recent book who Wrote the Bible referring
10 the Epistes, he says: The books In our hands
are the very same books which were In the hands
of the contemporaries and Successors OF the Apostles
And concerning thu Gospels he writes III Is now
freely admitted by many Of the most radical CRITICS
that the hrs three Gospels written before the

ABLY the latest written. The falacious and super
fetal conclusion OF Inquirer like that OF MANY

WON'T NAME HIS ASSASSIN.
A New Haven italian Given Three
Fatal Thrusts.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. H.-Another
Italian stabbing affray took place last
night In the eastern part of the city and
Giovanni Corsa OF No. SO st. John street,
is dying at the hospital. He was stabbed
in the head, the groin and the back at
No. 141 Hamilton street, the tenement Of
Giuseppe Gugliamino.
Giuseppe and his three brothers, his
first and second cousins, who are also
named Gugliamino, companion, Filipe
Samson and three other brothers, Guisep-
pc, Salvatore and Antonio Cranaloi, have
been arrested for the deed. They declare
that Vincenzo Guglamino did the stab
bing. Vincenzo cannot be found.
The wounded man declared that the
party were engaged in an argument, that
-they all pitched into him, and who
stabbed him ho does not know.
Antonio Gugliamino is very nervous
When arrested he rushed to the tene-
ment sink and hurriedly washed his
hands. The police think this is signif-
cant and believe that he did the stabb-
ing. Coroner Mix has taken Corsa's
nnte-mortem statement and the victim
has identified all the prisoners as his as
sailaDts, but he does not know, or at
least he refuses to tell who stabbed him

NO IMMEDIATE DANGER.
Mrs. Harrison is Growing Weaker,
But Her Decline is Slow.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE balmy In
dian summer weather has depressing
effect on Mrs. Harrison and increases
the nervousness from which she suffers
greatly. Consequently she is even less
well and strong than she has been for
the past two or three days. A symptom
in the case recently has been exceeding
drowsiness. This drowsiness has passed
away to an extent, but it has shown its
effects in increased exhaustion.
1t is said, however, that there is no oc-
casion for immediate alarm. DIR. Gard
ner after his visit last evening said that
Mrs. Harrison was resting quietly and
was asleep. There were no present indi-
GATORS OF fresh complications in the
case.
The President remained IN the White
House with his sick wife nearly the en-
tire day, the only time he left her being
late in the afternoon when, with men,
bers OF his household, he spent an hour
or SO in strolling about the grounds south
OF the executive mansion.

Financial Dealings.


Financial Dealings.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Gustavo Preston,
consul OF Ecuador at Boston has made q
statement concerning his connection with
Consul General Ruiz's case. He de-
MED that he was appointed consul at
Boston in consideration of having loaned
Mr.. Ruiz his note for $4,000. The position
OF consul, which he occupies, 10 an hon.
orary one without salary and with few
duties. At the time of Mr.. Preston's ap-
pointment he said he did not know Mr..
Ruiz personally, nor did he form his ac-
qusintance until long time afterward.
In reference to the $1,000 note Mr.. Pres
ton loaned to Consul General Ruiz, the
former said that Mr.. Ruiz called on him
In Boston last June, said he had some
orders to ship to Ecuador, but was 5000
short. The party TO whom he was ac-
customed to look in financial emergen-
cies, he said, was In Europe, hence he
had appealed to Mr.. Preston whom he
hoped would accommodate him.
Mr.. Preston said that he needed all his
cash in his own business at that time,
but would loan Ruiz his note at 30 days
sight, which Ruiz was only to use in case
OF necessity, in which case Ruiz should
attend personally to its payment. That
note, Mr.. Preston said, he was forced to
pay on July 2, following, aud Mr.. Ruiz
has not yet repaid him.
Since coming to New York Mr.. Preston
said that he had been assured by q third
party that Mr.. Ruiz had admitted hav-
ing Endorsed the forged note. Then Mr..
Preston with a marshal went to police
headquarters and laid the whole matter
before Supt. Byrnes. Soon after Mr.. Ruiz
was arrested.
Mr.. Ruiz states that his adopted daugh-
ter produced the forged notes in August
last, saying that Mr.. Preston had sent
them TO help Mr.. Ruiz in his financial
he never suspected the notes were forger-
les and at Mrs. Laws request he en-.
dorsed them.
