The second day of the session of the American Woman Suffrage association was of a very interesting character, from the fact that all of the delegates have arrived and the work has been fairly inaugurated. The day sessions are devoted to work and the evenings to popular and instructive talks on the one important question. Very thor oughly in earnest seem these good people, and more than one masculine auditor ac knowledged himself a convert. MOKNIXG SESSION. The convention was called to order at 10:40 by President Foulke, and Amanda B. Williams was chosen recording secretary. Ut. Campbell, lowa, chairman of the corn- THE PRESIDENT.

Mrs. Cutler read the report of I Hazzardof Missouri, telling . - l suffrage for women in that state. Julia Ward ll<;we gave the Rhode Island report showing that a constitutional amendment bad been sub to tin' assembly, but owing to tech nical dela? - considered by one branch. Elizabeth B. Chase had beenre ■ I president, which Mrs. Howe cou sidered news. Mrs. Campbell, lowa, read the S"ew Hampshire report, which showed that wha» little work could be had been done. The changing of the sessions leeislature from annual to biennial limited their opportunity of petitioning that xctlia waki) howe. were kept regularly in ,h- field, and m>re than I.jO meetings v\ ■ . . tsu ragists, dur ing which nearly 10,000 names havebeen attached to petitions a-kim,' for equal rights to the sexes, in Boston the agitation is very active. The J ts have c trolled 15,- UUii women who have paid their poll taxes and wi the school question. The Republicans and Independents are con strained to follow suit. In thestate in gen era: the suffragists had t<> contend against a Fory aristocracy on the one hand and the ignorant, prejudiced Factory operatives on the other, but the banner was still Hying. OUE own STA Dr. Bipley gave the Minnesota report. the substance of which was the numerous petitions they have '>n hand. The first of which is to ask congress for a sixteenth amendment, next to ask the legislature for MB.

"We can't do this now."' she said, ''unless our husbands are idiotic, and that is putting a premium on idiotic husbands that we do not wish." Another thing they want is exemption from registra tion, in order to vote for superintendent of county schools. The report went on to tell of the various suffrage movements, the cel ebration of foremothers 3 day and other uiat - C local interest. Mrs. Ada Bowles, Massachusetts, then read the Michigan re port, which proved a very vigorous exposi tion of the work in that state, and a very long one. ending with the prediction that Mi higan would be the lirst state to give municipal suffrage to women.

THE APXEBNOOB SESSIOK was transferred to the main auditorum of | the church, to accommodate the increased attendance. Mrs. Stone presented the report i.f the executive commute, which was an epitome of the Chicaeo session of last year, where sixty-three delegates were present iroui eighteen differ ent states. Let ters of encour agement were received from Mary A. Liver more, Chief Jus tice Green of Washington Territory and Chancellor El liottof St. Louis, regretting their inability to be present and of fering all possl ble encourage ment. Mrs. saran liunrer lucy sto.ve. Steams of Duluth.was introduced and made a very pleasing little address on tlie general subject of the injustice of unequal rights. Judge Hetniup mmlc the announced speech. It consisted of a very interesting little imaginary drama. picturing an Arcadian scene with women ar the polls and in the halls of legislation. C. 11. Dubois, of tiie spectators, made a witty address, urging the convention in its good work, with which he entirely sympa thized. Various brief speeches were made by the delegates, at the close of which, the committee on business ureseuted the fol lowing: RESOLUTIONS. The American Woman Suffrage association, :-.t its seventeenth annual meeting iv this Uful city of the New North west, reaffirms the American principle of free representa tive government, and demands its application to women. "Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed," and women are confirmed; "taxation without representation is tyranny," and womeu are taxed; "all political power Inheres in the people," and one-half of the people are women. Resolved, That women, as the sisters, wives and mothers or" men, have special rights to protect and sii»*<?ial wrongs to remedy; that their votes v.iil represent in a special sense the interests of the home; that the equal co-operation of the s^xes is essen tial alike to a happy home, a reformed society, ii Christian church and a Republican srat:-. And whereas, Lender the federal constitu tion -all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens thereof, and of the states in which they reside," and. by the de cision of the United States courts, "women are citizens, and mar be made voters by ap propriate state legislation;" therefore, Resolved, First—That the officers of this society memorialize congress, in its next ses sion, in behalf of a statute guaranteeing women suffrage in the territories: also, of a ■ utinnal amendment prohibiting politi cal distinctions <~>n account of six. - tond—That while we do not undervalue rm of agitation, state or national, we that practical woman suffrage can at present be best promoted by urjriny: legisla tive as well a< constitutional changes, and by ilinjr to state as well as national author ity: therefore we urge the establishment of active state societies in every state.with their working centers ia the state capitals, and their corresponding- committees in every rep resentative district. Third—That in every state, at each session of the legislature, petitions should be pre sented by its own citizens, asking for woaiac's suffrage by stututeln ail elections and for all officers nut expressly limited by the word "malo" in the state constitution, also for a cocstituticnal amendment striking 1 out the word •"mule." body. Mrs. > «■ m p 1 c read the greetings of the Ver mont suff ragists and Mr. 11. B. IJ lackwell gave the Massachu setts re ports. He said the work was at its night there, .the a git ation constant and unre in it l in g. 3 d c a kers Fourth—That school suffrage having been secured for -women by statute in twelve states, our next demand should be for full municipal suffrage by statute. I. solved, That our special thanks arc due Ma.;. J. A. Pickler and the majority of both ho'i~os in th..- Dakota legislature, who ex tended suffrage last spring to the women of that territory, and we trust that the !: loving men or Dakota will secure the removal of the unfaithful governor of Dakota, who by his veto remanded 50,000 women of Da kuta to continued dNfranehisetaent. Several of these resolutions provoked con siderable discussion. Mrs. Campbell of lowa happened to mention that in the THE GEXTI.KM.VN FROM DAKOTA. country in general, it was taken for granted that women were all Prohibitionists. Mr. Blaekwell said he protested to any such be lief, and he wanted no such misapprehen sion, which was also the sen-^e of the con vention. Over the last resolution there was unite a warm debate. Judge Heniiup did not want Gov. Pierce censured, and moved to strike out that portion. A spir ited debate resulted in striking out the word ••unfaithful" and and adopting the rest. Maj. Pickler returned ins thanks, and the convention adjourned until evening. THE KVKXIXir ADDRESSES, Again the Church of the Redeemer was crowded and last night's oratorical session was a complete success. President Foulke and Julia Ward Howe had gone to St. Paul to speak, and Mrs. Lucy Stone presided. The first sneaker was Mr?. Margaret Carup beil of lowa, who gave the ripe results of long experience of the cause in tiie Hawk eye state. A point she made was that the brewers" convention at Chicago had de clared against woman snrlrage. because they said the women were against the liquor dealers. This was in reality a blow, because it committed in advance the en franchised women to the prohibition cause. MRS. DR. CT-TLER. They do not deserve this, nor does it follow, for in Wyoming, where women have voted for seventeen years, there is no prohibitory law. Mrs. Campbell told of the suffrage efforts in lowa and concluded with a gen eral argument for equal rights. Maj. J. A. Pickler of Dakota was next introduced. Maj. Pick'.cr represented the Sixth delegate district in the last Dakota legislature, and introduced the bill giving the women of Dakota the right of suffrage, THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE. THURSDAY MOISTING, OCTOBER 15, 188S which, after its passage by that body, was vetoed by Gov. Pierce. llis address was largely devoted to a detailed history of his bill, from its introduction to its final death at the hands of the executive of the terri tory. He paid the highest compliment to the celebrated ladies identified with the suffrage movement, running the gauntlet from Anna Dickinson to Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway of Oregon,' whose fame as a suffragist is not confined to the Pacific coast, was the last speaker. In an interesting way she gave the history of the cause in her own state, and then launching into the topic of equal rights she delivered a powerful and effective appeal, and received an enthusiastic round of ap plause. The meeting then adjourned to 10:30 this morning. TO-PAt"S PROGRAM, which will wind up the convention, is as follows: Morning, 10:30—Music.

The topic was State and Home Missions, and the speakers were Dr. W. T. Chase, Revs. J. Suuderland and H. L. Moorhouse. The program for to-day is quite a long one, and includes the reports, elections and selection of the next place of conference. CITY COIWCIL. The Business Transacted at a Hear ular Meeting: Last >isrht. At last night's meeting of the city council a large number of petitions and communi cations were received and given proper ref erence. A contract was authorized between the city and the Tribune for advertising for the year, in accordance with the proposal pub lished a week ago. A protest against a fifteen-foot sidewalk on Fourth street south, between Fourth avenue and Eighth avenue south, on the , ground that a walk of such a,width is un necessary was referred to the committee on paving. The city attorney was instructed to take such action as in his opinion is deemed nec essary in having parties that are now quar rying stones adjacent to Bluff street be tween Nineteenth and Twentieth avenues, and thereby taking away the natural sup port of said street, to build such retaining i waiis as the city engineer may direct for the proper support of said street: also, that proper safeguards be placed at the outer edge of said street. Adopted. A contract was ordered executed with Owens & Evans for building the quarantine hospital as per plans and specifications, etc. An invitation presented by Aid. Wal?h. inviting the city council to attend the dedi catory ceremonies of the Fritters monument was adopted and accepted. A. P. Anderson, street commissioner of the Sixth ward, reported that he had noti fied Mr. McMullen to remove all obstruc tions on Bluff street. In connection therewith Aid. Haugan moved that the mayor be instructed to or der removed all obstructions. Adopted. Upon motion of the committee on streets, grades and additions, the plat of Dorman's first addition to the city was accepted. The committee on ordinances reported in favor of the adoption of an ordinance pre venting persons from drivine faster than a walk over any crosswalk while pedestrians are approaching, and preventing any per son from making any excavation or con struction except he provides against any ac cident by putting proper red lights in" the streets. FAST DRIVTXG. The question as to fast driving over crosswalks provoked a lengthy and exciting discussion. Aid. Sly moved that four miles an hour be substituted for six in regard to driving through the streets. The amend ment was lost. Aid. Walsh moved to strike out in the section to slack up the words, "or approaching," the effect be ing that when pedestrians are a number of feet distant the drivers are not compelled to stop their teams to a walk. The amend ment was lost. No person is allowed to make any excavation in the street until he shall have secured the permission of the city engineer and the alderman of the ward. No one shall be permitted to deface a telegraph or telephone or any other pole in the city. The standing committee on paving re ported in favor of executing a contract with T. J. Coury for paving High street, from Bridge street to First avenue south. Adopted. Aid. Walsh moved that a contract be au thorized to be executed with M. W, Glenn for building the cells in the court house, he being the lowest bidder, and Aid. Sly moved as an amendment that no work be done the present season in building the : Aid. Walsh took the floor to explain his> position and urge his motion. Aid. Sly argued that the work cannot be done the i present season and, therefore, he thought it proper and correct that the matter should be postponed. Aid. Johnson stated that no one contractor knew what any other contractor was bidding upon, there fore, he should favor Aid. Sly's motion. Aid. Hashow favored Aid. Walsh's motion., He thought that a further postponement was doing an injury to the lowest bidder. Aid. Sly's motion was adopted. The question occasioned considerable discussion. At first it failed to carry, but Aid. Cutler confessed that he voted under a misappre hension and moved then for a reconsidera tion. Aid. Sly, after the motion had been reconsidered, took the floor to explain that owing to egregious discrepancies, the con tractors had not bid upon any specific style of cells. Aid. Haugan was more than before im pressed witli the erroneous position as sumed by the chairman of the committee. As it happens, Mr. Glenn is the lowest of the five bidders, and all know that there has been a deal of controversy regarding the cells; the chairman of the committee and Mr. Glenn had been engaged in a con troversy. LIVELY DEBATE. Aid. Sly was exceedingly sorry that Aid. Haugan should believe that he had an axe to grind. He had nothing but the best of feeling toward all concerned. Aid. Walsh presumed that he represented the majority, yet he felt like testifying to the fact that* there is no ill-feeling in the committee. He then made an explanation of the conditions which are well known to the readers of the Globe. Aid. Hashow charged Aid. Sly with making an invidious insinuation. He had never seen a plan or speeilication. and therefore Mr. Sly had no right to state that he was in any way inter ested in the work. Aid. Johnson was disinterested. He cared nothing about who had the contract. If he was certain Mr. Glenn would build the cells according to the amended plans he would vote in favor of awarding the contract to Mr. Glenn. Aid. Sly alleged that he had no ill feel ing against Mr. Glenn, but he did not be lieve Mr. Glenn would build the cells ac cording to the amended plans and specifications for the amount named in Mr. Glenn's proposal. Aid. Sly's substitute was lost upon a roll call, and the contract was awarded to M. W. Glenn. The ordinance establishing the grade on Franklin avenue from Xicollet to First avenue south was placed on its second reading and was passed. A contract was ordered executed with King & Tobin for putting in curb and gut ter stones for the coming season. The ordinance establishing the grade on Franklin avenue, between Nicollet and Franklin avenues, was taken up and Aid. Cooiey moved an amendment to strike out figures so as to lower the grade from one to two feet, but inasmuch as Capt. Babb had previously tiled with the e'erk an amend ment lowering the grade about six inches, Aid. Cooley's amendment was withdrawn and the ordinance as amended was adopted. An ordinance establishing the grade on West Fifteenth street was also adopted. MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS. Aid. Haugan moved that Fifteenth avenue south from West Eighth street be graded, and the motion prevailed. The engiener was instructed to request the Milwaukee «fc St. Taul Railway com pany to replank its tracks on First avenue south. A telephone was ordered to be placed in the office of the building inspector. The city clerk was authorized to procure an abstract to show the condition of Third and Fourth streets, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets north. Aid. Walsh moved that hereafter the meetings of the council be held on the even ings of the first and third Wednesdays of each month, and Aid. Johnson moved to amend, placing the hour at 3 p.m. Aid. Haagan thought that many of the aldermen cannot attend in the afternoon owing to business. The amendment was lost and the original motion prevailed. The city clerk was authorized to draw a warrant for $435.15 in favor of James T. Elweli out of the Second ward street fund. The city attorney was instructed to com mence action against the Manitoba Railway company to test the legality of the opening of Curao avenue at its intersection with the track of said read in the East division. SALACIOUS CASES Ana use Spectators in the District Court—The $30,000 Damaere Suit. The Slayton divorce case yesterday be fore Judge Lochren furnished the specta tors with considerable diversion. The par ties resided in North Minneapolis and on March 14, according to the evidence for the prosecution, Isaac A. Slayton, who had reason to suspect his wife, sent word that he wouldn't be home and during his wife's absence concealed himself under the bed. During the evening a man named Connolly came in and was attempting to persuade Mrs. Slayton to sit on his lap when a little girl, the daughter of the parties to the suit, dis covered her father under the bed and called out: "Oh, ma, look here.*' Mr. Slayton came out from the retreat and a stormy scene ensued between the husband and wife, which resulted in Slayton's leaving home and the bringing of a suit for divorce against her by her husband, charging adul tery at different times with Connelly. When put upon the stand yesterday.Mrs. Slayton did not deny that Connolly tried to pull her down on his lap. but said she re fused to acquiesce: also that this had hap pened repeatedly in Mr. Slayton's presence, and never in his absence. "Why,"' she said, "Slavton was always squeezing, hug gine and tickling every woman that ever came into the house. I don't think it any worse for me to sit on a man's lap than for him to hold women in his lap and bite their ears."' A large number of witnesses were ex amined and a good deal of important testi mony crept into the case. The jury after being out an hour brought in a verdict for the defendant. MAY AND DECEMBER. At the conclusion of the divorce suit, a jury was impaneled to try the breach of ( promise case of Martha Ward vs. Wiiliam Dunn. The complaint charges seduction under promise of marriage, as fol lows: About a year ago the plaintiff applied to the defendant for a loan of 550 on chattel property, and an acquaintance sprung up which Miss Ward claims led to her ruin, under promise from the plaintiff that he would furnish her with a nice home, piano, etc. He failed to keep his agreement, however, and kept postponing the marriage, upon one pretext or another. Finally he threat ened to foreclose the mortgage on the prop erty which secured the SoO loan, and Miss Ward, takinsr this as an indication that he did uot intend to marry her, accordingly commenced suit, claiming damages at SiO. --000. The plaintiff is quite a prepossessing lady of 25 years, and the defendant is about as "pretty as a mud fence. He is well known as a money loaner. and is over 50 years old. The §30,000 damage suit of D. G. Peck vs. S. S. Small, for mali cious prosecution, in causing the plaintilTs arrest for stealing carpets valued at $100, upon which he was acquitted in the munic ipal court, consumed the entire day before Judge Koon. The jury returned a verdict of SSOO for the plaintiff. THE CIVIL CALENDAR. Civil jury cases before Judge Koon: D. G. Peck vs. S. S. Small. Verdict for the plaintiff for $500.

The writ Is returnable to-day. ANOTHER MOBSTER. Last Week Duplicated in (be Current Week's Flour Prodnet. In its review of the milling situation the Northwestern Miller will say to-day: Con trary to expectation, the flour production last week was almost identical in amount with that of the preceding week. Several mills increased their output and made un usual runs, but others failed to maintain their previous rate of production, thus leav ing the general average unaffected. The figures for last week are 171,108 barrels— averaging '28,518 barrels against 171,066 the previous week, and 145, SOO for the corresponding time in 1834. There is no particular change for the current week, though the chance for an increase in the production is more favorable than other wise. The twenty-two mills are keeping hard at work without shop, except for acci dents caused by overstrained machinery giving away. The repairs at the lower end of the canal have finally been completed, and the mills since Tuesday have had a bet ter head of water to work with, and this presages heavier running. The mills con tinue to experience more or less trouble in getting certain kinds of freight cars, and the handling of the immense amounts of wheat and the product of the mills is ef fected with much labor. There has been little or no change in the flour market. Buyers are ready -to take hold, but they want flour at prices below what millers are willing to let it go for. The following were the receipts at and shipments from Minneapolis for the weeks ending on the dates given: RECEIPTS. Oct. 13. Oct. 6. Sept. 29.

In rebuttal, the plaintiff in the case of the university against the Northern Pa cific Railway company, introduced the fol lowing testimony yesterday; Prof. Downey recalled, and testified that he had recently experimented on the cam pus grounds with a view to ascertaining the extent of the tremors caused by the movements of trains on the Manitoba road. He had made two observations at two points indicated on the profile of the grounds. Midway between the Manitoba tracks and the Northern Pacific railway the tremors were distinctly noticeable, and the disturbances lasted forty-five seconds, and were slightly perceptible for a longer time. The tremors occasioned by the passing of a passenger train and a freight train near each other lasted four minutes and forty-six sec onds. Experiments made at the proposed site of the observatory in the southern por tion of the grounds; no tremors were ob served in consequence of trains passing on the Manitoba tracks except from heavy trains passing towards Minneapolis, when slight vibrations could be noticed in the in struments. Judging from these experi ments so made the witness was of the opin ion that in case the Northern Pacific is to run as projected the site would be unsuit able for practical work. Prof. W. R. Hoag, who aided in taking the observa tions, corroborated Prof. Downey's testi mony and an adjournment was had until this morning. The Cluster Club.
