"Mr. Gerard is the one stellar wit ness against Prussian autocracy," said Mr. Cochran yesterday. "No other man possessed of the fund of accurate and startling evidence against Ger many that he possesses. Whatever an gle he may choose to consider in his talk with Portland, it is certain to be of high Informative value and tense interest.
