The Rev. pr. Phillips sal0 me purpose of his attending was opposition. to all tyranny and a love for all freedom and liberty Said he: T regret a report in a Sunday paper to-day which assert ed that any Christian clergyman who was absent from this mass meeting was as criminal as the blackhand in Russia. This is not true. 1 came here because these atrocities are an insult 10 the personality and spirit of the great Nag arene and 8 travesty on His teachings We can say to Russia that We have right to demand that every man In any part of the four corners of the Russian empire be given the right to worship God as he pleases, and this is the pro- test which l join to-day, body ana soul.''
 'Iappeal to you for funds in the name of our American flag, which has all ways been such a source of inspiration to us all. I appeal to you in the name of the love of liberty. the love for your wives and children, which has so char acterized the people of your nation"
 The speaker who was, perhaps, the most effective was Dr. Eberenski, who followed, the speaking in the Hebrew tongue He declared that the Chris tian gentlemen who had preceded him had all spoke in glowing and warm terms of our cause, but no one of you sheds tears. Perhaps you have not un- derstood them. Every man must give every cent possible, and as l conclude give my watch and chain to the cause"
 The influence of the doctor was cleo tric and at several points of his ad- dress the Jews were in tears, and he was loudly applauded.
 The Rev. MT. Irvine was the last speaker. He said: Was that letter in theafternoon paper wise? Indeed it in the afternoon paper wise? Indeed it authorized. Only three Christian cier- gymen have responded to this mass meeting, but every one absent Is sure ly as interested in the cause against Russian persecution as I. l came here to protest in the name of Christ. If the heart of the church to-day does not beat for the stricken people of Rus sia, it certainly ought to be dead.
 What are the underlying causes of the troubles in Russia? It is a great battle for bread-it is @ fight against a rotten aristocracy. The Jew in Rus sia is better off than the peasant. The peasants are exhausted in the fight for 1 freedom and they must be fed. There i fore they attack and loot the Russian 1 Jew, who is better off in this worlds goods. They loot, and are shielded by the Russian government, which cares little or nothing for the welfare of the Jew. I am peace man, but if were 1 in Russia to-day, I would place shot guns in the hands of the Jews and tell them, Stand up. Give shot for shot. Fight to the last ditch"
 The chairman, Judge Ullman, then l introduced Rabbi Fromer, who declin- ed to speak, saying the time has ceas- ed for speaking, the time to act has come. The time has come to make a substantial expression to our protests" |"
 Judge Ullman requested that each man and woman pass quietly to the front of the stage and deposit the ex- pression of each individal protest in behalf of the Russian Jew. Also there were tables in various parts of the hall I where donations were received. The hall was packed in the balconies and , on the main floor, and the aisles were damned.
 Watches, rings and other jewelry added to the donations of money. Aft CT the donations the gifts in jewelry were auctioned off by Judge Ullman, and the sum derived from the sale of such articles swelled the total sum to over $1,000.
 Judge Ullman announced at the con- clusion of the meeting that he was ap- pointed treasurer for the New Haven contributions, and would be glad to re- ceive contributions from any body who
 had any interest in the cause of a stricken people. The funds from this
 city may either be sent to Judge Ull-
 man or the office of the Journal and Courier, or MT. David Steinberg These
