If made steelier the co.it could bo re
duced to $1,1,000, and by constructing

which, ho
say?.,
ruin the

that

Tin: housi:.
A communication was received by the
House to-day from the Secretary of AVar,
transmitting a letter from tlio Chief
Engineer giving a list of civillanengincers
employed in hatbor improvements.
'J lie Scuato Eastern Hranch Bridge
bill was laid beftn'o the House.
Mr. Enloe, fiom tho Committee on I'ost
clllces, reported back, with a recommend
ation that it bo laid on the tabic, a resolu
tion of inquiry introduced by Mr. White
of New York, March 10, directed to tho
l'oMmaster-Gcneral. and asking for in
formation as to orders Issned by tho De
partment, which, it is claimed, placed au
espionage on a certain class of malt mat
ter coming from Canada Into the United
Slates.
The report says that the resolution in
stead of being on u of inquiry, Is of the ua.
tmo of a criticism on and an arraignment
of tlio Postmaster-General. Tlio report
explains that somo American seedsmen
have shipped bomo seeds, bulbs, etc., to
parties in Canada, there to ho mailed to
pcoplo In tlio State?, thus evading the
payment ufa higher rate of postage winch
tho mailing of thoseciU In this country
wouui impose, ino rosimasier-ucncrai
bad issued ciders to prevent this fraud
auu me rcsoiuiiou ucmamieii ins iiuiuor
ity for tho action.
It was ovident tlio report and resolution
was to be made tho Mibject of a partisan
debate, under tho leadership of Mr. Allen
of Massachusetts ami Mr. Reed of Maine.
Mr. Enloe took tho door to explain the
action of tho Postniastcr-General and
cited tho laws and provisions of tho In
ternational Postal Convention, under
which lie acted.
Mr. Allen of Massachusetts said lie had
never befoio known aconimitteo to rec
ommend on adverso report on a resolu
tion asking olllclal Information from au
executive department.
He did not make an attempt to nll'ord a
clear explanation of the Intent of the res
olution, but contented himself with
amusing and Ironical allusions to Mr.
A'ilas's postal treaty of 1833. Ho asserted
lii.lt tho existing postal regulations gavo
Canadian seedsmen odvantages over
American dealers.
"AVIiy," ho said, "this continual
dofeienco to tho English Government?
If wo should havo another English treaty
session in this city I fear mo our Cabinet
olllccrs would abandon their simple
American habits and go dashing down
tho Avenuo in English broughams, be
hind bang-tailed thoroughbreds, or
splurging about with orchid blossoms in
their buttonholes, their trousers turned
up at tho bottom and carrying hugo canes
and lcadingspitting bull-pups 1"
Mr. Whlto of Now A'ork followed In a
speech, tho burden of which was nu out
cry against tlio advantages of tho Cana
dians over thcAiuciicaus by tho postal
regulations.
Mr. lllount explained that an American
seedsman, living in tlio vicinity of tho
border, had shipped ids seed over into
Canada ond a branch houso thoro had
mailed tlie packages all over tho United
States at a lower rato of postage tlin
that enjoyed by other Ameilcan deal
ers. In such casc3 as this the
Postmaster-General sliniilv renulred
tho Canadian Government to raise tlio
uostaae. The order making this require
ment was tho object at which tho reso
lution was aimed, lie thought tho reso
lution was in tho nature of a dump
speech arraignment of tho I'ostotlleo De
partment. It was discourteous in tono
and tho commltteo did not sco lit to
favorably roport huch a measure.
Mr. Reed contended that tliu resolu
tion was not discourteous 111 tone, that
It had been suitably presented and
required nu answer from tho Post-master-CeneraJ.
If thoro were erroneous
statements in thu resolution ho would
havo an opportunity torcfuto them. Tho
nyos and noes were .ordered on tho mo
tion to tabic the resolution,

AV'H.KESBAniiK,March 29. Master AVork
man I'owdcrly Issues a long manifesto to
tho Knights- of Labor, In which ho ur
gently requests that education bo mado
tho motto of the order, and' that strikes
bo entirely done away with. Mr, I'ow
dcrly confesses that tho Knights of La
bor strikes have never been successful,
and that tho tlmo to call a halt has ar
rived. Ho says, among other things:
"If our membership of 000,000 Is In
structed In tho full meaning of tho pre
amble of tho Knights of Labor we will do
a work which all the strikes of ages, had
they nil proved successful, could not do,
Educitto our people; teach them what it
is that causes depressions; (each them
what is contained In our preamble; havo
them discuss It, sirtlng out that which Is
good In it nnd exchanging that which Is
not so good for something bettor. How
will this bo done'' Not by sitting down
until tho very life-blood of labor is
drawn to the last drop. AVo must
have legislation which will com
pel Individuals and corporations lo trans
act business on a ba'-is of real property,
dollars and tents, Instead of what, the
wothl Calls paper credit or fictitious
values, How can this be itoucjt lly
whom will It bo done'.' Not bv strikes;
not by wasting our energies on tho line of
abuse of each oilier. It cm not bo dolip
by men who havo no higher conception
of knighthood and citizenship than to
expose themselves: and families to the
pangs of hunger In suicidal strikes.
"Itisnrgueil that strikes do good. So
docs a lire. Strikes do good ! Go to the
coat fields of Pennsylvania and count Ihtt
Victims; go through tho l.ehigh region
and count the still'ercrs; go Into tho homes
of tho brave, heroic men who waged tlio
unequal battle and ask of the wives and
children you will (hid I bore if strikes do
good, and note the answer. Let tho ones
who havo felt tho panes of hunger testify.
Do not go to thon whoj standing far from
tho scene of conflict, will say strikes d
good. Unfortunately for labor, men in
position arc prone to yield to clamor loo
caMlv.

the opiosition to the President is said to.
bo based on his tailll" message, but on the
Abbett side tho antagonism Is traced to
tho Chicago Convention of'81. where the

against Cleveland.
The plan proposed by tho antl-Clove-land

Tills Morning's .Session,
This morning, in splto of the rain, tho
iHtcndanco at th? Oicra-llouso was larger
than on any preceding day.
"Tho Rattle Hymn of tho Republic"
was sungout of compliment to the author,
Julia Ward Howe, who spoke later. Alter
the music was finished Isabella II. Cooper
made a prayer, and then Miss Anthony
read a number of telegrams and letters,
ainongothcrs from a number of lady phy
sicians In San Francl-co, Robert I'. Porter
of the New York l'ir.i.: and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton's daughter. Matilda Joslyn
Gogo presided, and in n short speech told
of the great advantages of organization,
tlio subject for the morning's discussion.
Sho intioduced Julia Ward Howe.
Mrs. Howe, a comfortable looking
white-haired old lady iu a black dress
and a white lace cap, snoko first of the
human body as a model Tor tho body so
cial mid politic. Its namo has been
largely borrowed for n symbol of asso
ciated action. Au organization is some
thing more than an organism. It repre
sents, besides the mcchanica' power of
combination found in nnima' communi
ties, tho designing power of tho human
intellect. It is important for us to ascer
tain what c ganlzation can and what it
cannot do. It can affect general and par
ticular unifications of feeling and interest.
Hut, as it works with human materials,
it cannotcscapo tho doom and dinger or
things human. One or Its problems is the
-reconciliation of tho far and near, tho
regulation oi relations ociwecn tno par
ticular and the general, lu order to
maintain these in integrity, the central
principle must bo genuine. Organization
must found itself upon a universal and
availing Interest. Hut as great names aro
often made to servo merely personal ends,
there must be much detail of observation
and suggestion between tho central power
and its distant representations. Mrs.
Howe recognizes tlirco elements of society,
of which account must bo mado In any
largo plan or organization. First, sho In
stances the class or leaders, sina'l In num
ber, powerful in its correspondence with
certain needs of tho body politic. Sec
ondly, tho class of tho led, strong lu num
bers and iu the magnetic multiplication
of sympathy.
Hetwccn the two there Is a class, mod
erate In extent, which neither aspires to
lead nor asks to be led. This is a de
liberative class, whoso function is very
important, intervening with dcllbjratlon
between tho ambition of tho few and tho
passion of tho many. Mrs. IIowo dwelt
upon tho importance of tho work which
is done witliln a similar compass tho
iiomc, tno ucigiiuornoou, the local asso
ciations. In conclusion sho gave some
attention to tho hereditary organizations
and dwelt upon tho momentous Inter
est or the organizations which coming
generations would inherit lVoin our own.
Mrs. Howe's paper was received with
uproarious applause, and then .Mrs. Gago
Introduced a large, jovial-featured lady in
a black house dress, also a delegate .from
Mrs. Howe's organization, tho Associa
tion for tho Advancement of AVoinen.
Mrs. Mary F. Eastman, tho suldect of
whose essay, which she delivered with
out notes, was similar to Mrs. Howe's,
No word In the language, shosaid, was so
sad as "apart." none so blessed as "to
gether." Organizations arc botli good
unit bad. Nothing is more encouraging
than tho consciousness that ono is not
alone inn good work, llcluga partofuu
organization also teaches humility mid
the Hunts of personal rights. She closed
her address witli a reference to tho burial
ceremonies Of tlio Crcsars, and then Mrs.
Gage feelingly announced that tho
llaroness GriDpcnburg of Finland had
been HI from somo throat trouble over
unco Monday, and would not deliver her
address as announced.
In her place Rev. Amanda Dale of tho
Universal Peace Association was Intro
duced. The reverend lady, a rather
short, stout lady, with u black dress nnd
a heavy baritone voice, snoko a few min
utes about tlio ponce arbitration move
ment. Sho was followed by Mrs. Abby
Morton Diaz.tho president of the Women's
Educational and Industrial Union of Ilos
ton, who spoke on the work and objects
ofthat institution, Sho said that it was
not good for mau to bo alouo In any
thing, businessor anything else. Sho an
nounced that a meeting would bo held
this afternoon iu Wlliard Hall, looking
to tho formation of a union in tills city
similar to that in Hoston.
Mrs. Diaz's address was well received
and Miss Anthony then asked Mrs. Gago
tolutroduco Mrs. Hills of Dover, N. It,,
which was done. Mrs, Hills Is ,t little,
milil-mnhncrcd woman, whoso hair, in
spite of her eighty-two years, is jet- black."
She was au organizer of tho llapttst mis
sionary work, and sho told of tho early
lavs of tlio Haptist women's work iu a
rather weak voice. Her languago
breathed a deeply religious voice, and sho
was nsicucu to Willi uecp interest tiirougii
out. Then n large, kccn-fuccd, black-haired
woman, In a black sill; and jet house
dress, was introduced as M. Louise
Thomas, tho president or tho New A'ork
Sorosls, and she related tho history of tho
New York ladies' club. Surosis excludes
men from Its meetings, and only allows
them to attend Its monthly dinners. It
is not a woman sull'rago organization.
Three subtocts are never touched on
religion, politics and woman sutl'ragc.
lu a fow years Sorosls has grown from an
organization that was sculled nt to a place
hi tho respect of the public. She ulso
represents a tract distribution concern.
She closed her addross by reading a letter
f om tho Crown l'rlucesss ol' Denmark,
ami was stopped by tho expiration of
her time.
Mis. Gago then rose and said that sho
would have to Insist that sneakers conllno
themselves to the tlmo allotted to them.
Sho then introduced Mrs. J. O. Croly,
better known aJ
"Junnlo Juno."
She woro a brown street dross and bon
net, Sho Is a hill, rather largo-roatured
woman, whoso brown bangs partially ob
scured her otherwlso high forehead. She
spoko In a low, rather weak voice that
could not he heard at the hack of tho
houso.
Her speech was devoid or llio peculiari
ties of diction and neatly-turned expres
sions that havo mado her journalistic
work so widely read, and was delivered
without notes, Her tlmo was limited to
ten minutes, and after sho finished Mrs,
Gngc announced that Mrs, May would
speak,
Mrs. May was, however, found lo bo
missing, and In her place May Wright
Scwall, chairman of llio Executive Com
mittee or the AVomail Hnll'rago Associa
tion, made nu address. Mrs. Sewall Is a
handsome, blaek-halrcd, graceful woman,
tho navy bluo Annlo Jencss Miller cos
tume which she woro lending a peculiar
freedom nndgraco to her movements,
Sho said that but littlo remained to bo
said ofSorostx, but that organization was
a model or what women could ami would
do lu the way of organization, Without
organization women could do little or
nothing.
Mrs. SoWall was followed by the over
Interesting Frances (!. Wlliard. Miss
Wlliard woro ndark bronze green satin
dress, with a handsome bouquet at her
corsage and n black bonnet.
She Introduced her speech by a kinder
garten object Ickoii, First sho held up
her hand with tlic lingers extended, Then
sho closed them Into a compact, energetic
littlo list, exemplifying tho advantage
orcompact organization.
Miss A nl bony then made a Tow ro
maiks, closing the morning session, and a
votool'tbanks was taken without a neg
ative volo. bccauo thcro was no chance
given to glvo one.
She then announced that the Prcident
and Mrs, Cleveland would rccelva the
Council to-morrow at Mir.il p. m. Miss
Anthony then paid a glowing tilbuto to
Miss Rachel lostcr'H great ability nnd
the Council had surpassed her most san
