MOODY PLEADS FOR CUBA.
Asks for Corn TO Send to Starv'
ing Men and Women.

New York. Jan. 16.-The meeting at
Carnegie Hall today, addressed by
Dwight L. Moody. was extremely well
attended. After the opening musical
service Mr. Moody made a strong Aap-
peal for aid for the starving people OF
Cuba, to whom the entire collection
was to go. Mr. Moody said:
Think of the two thousand starving
mothers in Cuba when it costs but
thirty-five cents to send them a bushel
of corn. want to get 10000 bushels OF
corn for Cuba at once, and this audi
ence ought to give that amount. L
plead for those men and women dying
for the want of food. Bushels of corn
will rot and be eaten by rats in the
West, which you might send. Don't
dodge nv eve. Look me straight in the
face and give what you can. If not at
once you can pledge yourself now ana
send it later to the relief committee,
Mr.. CIops, of the Christian Herald, or
the board of trade, can reach the suf-
ferers for YOU
A collection of over $500, with many
pledges, was taken up.

hope is based upon the United States

whether or not they wish for autono-

sociation buildings through the United
States and other countries. A picture
of the proposed new home of the local
society was also thrown upon the can
vas, and while it will. no doubt, be a
very handsome building. Mr.. Multer
called the attention Of the audience to
the fact that in no way could it COM
pare with the homes of associations in
cities of much smaller population than
Washington. Statistics on the subject
of Young Mems Christian Association

they are built that the residents haze
contributed on an average Of about
one dollar each for this purpose. If the

AN ACTIVE CONGRESSMAN.

Congressman Pitney has the well
nerited reputation of being the most in
fuential and hard working member of the
New Jersey Congressional delegation,
From an interview with Mr.. Pitney in
the Washington Times on the 9th inst,
we quote:
"Mr. Pitney of New Jersey is one Of
the most active members on the House
Committee on Appropriations. He is a
member of the subcommittee on forti-
tications and the District of Columbia.
In my opinion" said Mr.. Pitney,
''the attitude of the President in respect
to the Spanish and Cuban question has
been eminently dignifed, conservative
and patriotic. There occurred in the
Havana harbor great disaster to an
American naval vessel, which was either
the result of an accident or the act of
treachery on the part of an avowed
friendly power. Nobody can tell what
caused this disaster without holding an
investigation The Administration
promptly ordered an investigation into
the sad affair, and it is being thoroughly
prosecuted and all the facts relating to
the disaster will be had if obtainable.
''The President wants to know the
truth. He does not take it for granted
in advance that anybody is guilty, least
of all, that the Government of Spain is
guilty, but as it is possible that such
guilt on the part of Spain may be devel-
oped, or, at least, that there may be a
guilty cause for which Spain would be
responsible, even without direct conniv.
ance on the part of that government. the
President is strengthening our Army and
our Navy and our coast defences as
rapidly and as thoroughly as the nature
of the case will permit.
''The President is not threatening OF
inviting war, but he is making ready tC
meet war if it must be met"
When asked about the unusual amount
of powder and projectiles the Secretary
of War had ordered by permission of the
Committee on Appropriations, Mr.. Pit
ney said:
''The Secretary of War and chief Of
ordnance have found it to be important
to make immediate contracts for powder
and projectiles for our seacoast defenses
and to have the same charged to the &C
count of appropriations for the next ifs
cal year"
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1898-03-11
UNITED.

The enthusiastic and unanimous pas
sage through both Houses of Congress of
the special appropriation of $4,000, 900
for national defense, is proclamation
to the whole world that however the
people of this country may differ among
themselves as to political questions con-
corning domestic policy they speak with
a united voice on every question which
contains the maintenance of the honor of
our country and the defence of its inter
ests against foreign aggression. In this
crisis men of every shade of political
opinion have rallied to the support of the
President and have shown that patriot
ism rises above party, and the President
has since March 4th, 1897, manifested
the same fact by retaining General Lee
at post at which he has achieved honor,
both to himself and to his country, by
his dignified and vigilant care of the in
terests committed to him.
The votes on Tuesday and Wednesday
were all the more impressive from the
absence of buster and swagger and for
the firm yet peaceful tone of the speeches
made. 1t was in no sense war vote,
but it was a declaration to all concerned
that this country is to be found ready for
every emergency and that much as we
love peace we prefer war to dishonor.
If war must come the whole civilized
world must confess that the President
and the country have up till now at
least acted with great dignity and self
restraint. AS that veteran, Congressman
Grosvenor said on Tuesday:
"How magnificent it is! l said some
days ago here that 1 had longed to live
until | knew that this people was a
united people. haze always felt that
the actions of 1861 to 1865 were poorly
done, that the blood was ill-spilled if at
the end of this long period we had not a
united Nation. Thank God, have lived
to see the hour come, the day dawn and
universal loyalty the watchword of every
man. woman and child

Voorhees, inspected the Hospital at Nor

cluded an inspection of the over crowded

necessity of making an appropriation
sufficiently large to complete the new

JUST what effect the death of ex-Prose-
cutor Winfield will have upon the Hud-
son county investigation is not known as
yet. The fact that keepers of notorious
pool rooms were notified of intended
raids from officials connected with the
prosecutors Office has been established.

work. Chairman GledhilI and his asso-
ciates can be trusted to despatch their
difficult work with fairness to all, irres-
pective of party considerations.
