FREE SPEECH ALWAYS.
Americans May Talk but Must Not Aid
Cuban Insurrectionists-A General
Harmon Advises Them Not to Talk
However.

Washington, October 11.-Inquiries
have been received in considerable num-
Der of late at the Department of Justice,
as to whether it is a violation of the laws
of the United States for American citizens
to express sympathy for Cuban insurgents
in public meetings, and to aid in fitting
out expeditions to help them.
In answer to one, Attorney General
Harmon has sent letter which represents
the views Of the administration on the
subject: Gan organization of military
force of any sort in the United States in
aid of an insurrection in Cuba would be
in direct violation of section 1886 Of the
Revised Statutes of the United States,
which provides for fine not exceeding
$1,000 and imprisonment OF not more than
three years for every person who in any
way takes part in such an expedition or
enterprise to De carried on from thence
against any prince state, etc., with
whom the United States is at peace. -
GAS the United States is not only at
peace with Spain, but has with her q
treaty whereby the extradition of
prisoners and many other benefits are
secure, it behooyes all American citizens
to have respect for the laws and obliga-
tion of their country and regard for its
honor To observe this law In spirit as
we'll as in letter; to be neutral in word as
we'll as in deed. While there is no law to
prevent American citizens from speaking
their sentiments on any subject singly or
together, the taking Of such action as you
mention in your letter, would, in my
Judgment be discourteous in the highest
degree to friendly power, and tend to
embarrass and obstruct the government
in carrying out determination to faith
fully execute the laws and fulfill its
treaty obligations. -

London. October ia representative
of the United Press called upon Lord
Sackville this afternoon, and asked him
if he had anything to add to the state
ments contained in his pamphlet recently
issued concerning his experience while
British minister to the United States.
His Lordship refused to furnish copy
of the pamphlet for minute perusal, by
the reporter or discuss it's contents. The
pamphlet, he said. was printed for
private circulation among his friends,
and did not concern the public in The
least. All the public is interested in
knowing :, was contained in the
accessible. More than this he had moth
ing to say on the subject. Lord Sackville
refused to explain the motive which in
duoed him to circulate the pamphlet, and
the manner In which he spoke indicated
a considerable degree of mental uneasi-
ness. 1t was not by any means the man
ner of man who congratulated himself
upon having issued such a brochure, but
rather provoked the inference that he, for
some reasons, wished he had not.

DR.. Reny Gets His Divorce.

Syracuse N. Y. October 1.-THE trien-

Hazen read an invitation from the pastor
and congregation of the First Congrega-

Hon. S. S. Capen Of Boston, who has
become widely known as the Chairman OF
the Committee of Thirteen for the Boston
Endeayor Convention of 1895. made the
closing address of the Missionary Day.
He had been asked to speak upon 1.-The
Missionary Obligations of Congregational
Churches land the Reasons for Greater
Loyalty in Supporting the Six Congre-
gational Societies -
sour missionary obligations, he said,
sis the supreme question OF the hour.
The question of loyalty is more necessary
for Congregationalists to consider than
for any other body of Christians. The
question is more vital now than 1T has
been for generation at least. Several
societies are in debt and all OF them are
in the most desperate need OF larger gifts
to do the larger work which is impera-
lively demanding to be done at once.
Only little more than one-half OF the
gifts of Congregational church members
go to support Congregational missionary
societies Gifts for the six societies and
ministerial aid in 1894 were $1,515, 344 !;
other gifts were s674, 767. Total 81, $780, III.
A recent gift Of $40, 900 by Congregation
alist to theological seminary of another
denomination would not be likely to ap-
pear in Congregational tables. These
outside gifts cannot be less than million
Of dollars annually.
"We need to urge in every possible way
from the pulpit, at the conference, and in
the press, that good business and COM
mon sense declare that money given to
missionary societies whose work is pub
licly and consistently open to review by
whole denomination Of givers, is the
money least likely to be wasted and most
likely to BRING permanent IesuiGS. lno
men who care for Congregational socie-
ties and those whose Home and Field
secretaries and missionaries are experts
in their various fields, can invest money
for Christ's Kingdom to better advantage
than the inexperienced.
SIT makes one groan to think OF the
money that is practically wasted by put
ting it into the hands of men of whom
we know little, who are responsible to no
corporate body. who make meagre reports,
and who are really experimenting in
various channels, when Congregation
alists have such magnifcently organized
societies where there is practically no
waste. The business-like way to stop the
condition of things described is to make
sure of regular missionary societies first.
