had been taken into the church a small

coming up Connecticut Avenue.

they appeared to have seen hard service.

Who had accompanied the remains of the
dead holdier all the way from Manila. Four
of them were members of the Fourth Cav

came from one of the infantry regiments.
All of them appeared tired-worn. It is
said that they have been on duty con
tinuously since the departure of the trans
port from Manila, anil one 01 tne men
stated that since leaving San Francisco he
had not been able to get more than four
hours' sleep. They all appeared willing to
do their duty, however, and would not
have allowed any of the fresh soldiers
from Fort Myer to take their places be

For an hour previous to the time the
cortege reached the church a crowd had
been gathering at the doors, but a large
number of police officers stood at the en
trances allowing no one to pass to the in
side. The casket was carried into the foyer
of the church, where it was alowed to rest,
owing to the difficulty of moving the great
weight through the centre aisle. It was
found necessary to procure a set of trucks
to carry the casket to the front of the
t'hurcli, where it was placed on temporary
stools. It will rest on a catafalque later in
lhe day.

THE WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS
-
A Large Attendance at the Associa

T!ie SessIoifiLPresliTetl over by Miss
Stixnn II. Anthony He-port's Itenil,
AdrircMicN M:tdc, mid Committees
Appointed The President Tells
of Her Loni; mid Active "Work.
The public session of the Thirty-second
Annual Convention of the National Ameri
can Woman Suffrage Association began
this morning at 10 o'clock at the Church
of Our Father, corner of Thirteenth and
L streets northwest. The church was
fairly well filled with representative wom
en, and there were present about 400 dele
gates. The platform upon which the offi
cers of the association were seated in a
semi-circle, -with its venerable president,
Miss Susan B. Anthony, in the centre, was
decorated with flags and potted plants.
Miss Anthony, notwithstanding her age,
appears in, very good health, and is con
ducting the meetings with her usual vigor
and promptness.
Rev. Anna Howard Shaw opened the ses
sion with prayer, after which Miss Susan
B. Anthony made the opening address of
welcome. .She gave a short sketch of her
connection with the association, as member
and as president. She said that the Suf
frage Association convenes in the Capital
of the Nation to advance their views and
advocate their purpose for the same resaon
that the Representatives of the different
States, come to Y.'ashington to advance the
views of their constituents and gain for
them what their interest and welfare com
mand. .. r
After Miss Anthony's address of welcome,
she called the convention to order. The
roll-call of officers, vice-presidents and
State members of the Executive Commit-
. tee. brought responses from nearly every
. officer and delegate. The minutes of the
I closing sestro of the Thirty-first Annual
Convention were read and adopted. Miss
( Hatch was appointed as timekeeper for the
day . Mrs. Upton Luckie, and Mrs. Suift
were appointed
committee on ureuea-
tials.
The report of the vice president at large.
Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, which treated
mainly of her work in the lecture field,
was well received by the association, and
was loudly applauded, on account of the
highly interesting manLer m whi h she o'
fered her report.
The report of the corresponding secre
tary, Rachel Foster Avery, was ery en
couraging and highly satisfactory to the
association, and was adopted. It is in
paint as fallows:
"With the object of coming into tojch
with the ork in the different States and
of helping to bind the whole into a na
tional cause, many letters are sent out to
our State presidents, a majority of whom
reply prompt lj and cordially, and thus en
abel me to be of assistance by suggestion
as to thfir State work.
"The work since the Grand Rapids con
vention in April and May has been the
editing of the 'Annual Convention Minutes'
cf 206 pages, the securing of manuscripts
for the monthly leaflets of the Political
Equality Series, aggregating 360.000 pnges
of printed matter; the preparation of the
programmes for this convention, for the
Congressional hearing to be held February
13. and for the celebration February l. of
the eightieth anniversary of our president's
birthday."
The report of the Committee on Federal
j Suffrage was read by Martha A. Rook, of
Michigan, in the absence of the chairman
of the committee. Sarah Clay Bennett. It
says, in part:
"That the committee petitioned the
members) of the nresent Congress to pro
tect white and black women equally with
black men against the statutes of the
States in the exercise of the right of citi
zens of the United States to vote for mem
bers of Congress and" Presidential electors
in the several States of the Union: which
right was exercised in New Jersey by both
women and black men upon equal terras
with the white men until 1S07. when that
State made and enforced a law which con
fined the right of suffrage to men.
"We entreated them to do this justice
to women by making Federal laws in pur
suance of that clause of the first section
of the Fourteenth Amendment of our Xa
tional Constitution, which says: 'Xo State
shall make or enforce any law which shall
J abridge the privileges or immunities of
citizens of the United States.
A vote of thanks was extended to her
for her very strong and exhaustive report
The next report brought before the conven
tion was that of the Committee of Presi
dential Suffrage by Henry B. Blackwill.
Chairman, who reviewed at length the
salutary effort which the women's vote
has on the political situation in the ic
spective States. This committee made a
recommendation that a special cfTort be
made next jear to petition every State
Legislature to give women the privilege
to veto at the next Presidential election,
m the year 1904.
The report of Clara Berwick Colby.
Chairman -of the Committee on Industrial
Problems Affecting Women and Children,
treated at great length the so-called injus
tice of the decision of the First Assistant
Postmaster General. Perry S. Heath, when
he announced that the department had de
cided "it will be incompatible with the
best interests of the service to retain mar
ried women as postofflce clerks. The de
partment has. therefore ruled that when a
female postoffice clerk marries it will be
necessary for her to resign from the serv
ice." She said, in part that "discrimination
against women in public service is unjust
and cowardly, and very often it brings its
ow-n retribution upou innocent members of
the guilty sex. for almost all women em
ployes are caring for male relatives; aged
fathers, invalid husbands, or sons whom
they are educating.
"There has been a growing tendency of
late years to exclude women from Gov
ernment offices. It was so noticeable un
der the first term of Grover Cleveland that
it was generally considered the policy of
the Democratic party. The ground was not
wholly regained during the following Re
publican Administration, although the old
liberal attitude toward women was fait.
Under the second Administration of Mr.
Cleveland, the tendency of exclusion be
came more marked, and under the present
Adminisration it has evidently become a
fixed purpose.
'"Less than 10 per cent of women who
have passed the civil service examination
in the last ten years have- received ap
pointments, as against 2C per cent of men
who have passed and obtained positions.
The smallest per cent of women appointed
was in the year just closing.
"This is not saying anything about the
fact that women are excluded from ex
aminations for certain very desirable
fields, and that the women appointees are
invariably for the lowest and least paid
positions. There Is not a woman chief of
division in the whole service, but con
stantly young and inexperienced men are
placed over a room Xull of women who
have grown- gray in that particular l"ne
of work.
"It is time that women took the alarm
and recognized the fact that this is not a
matter of party prejudice, but of party
presentation. As long as the Republicans
felt secure In power they could afford to
be generous to women, and enjoy winning
their gratitude in this way. But now that
the two great parties are so nearly equal,
gratitude weighs nothing in the balance
against a vote.
"The-lesson is plain that women in em
ployment, or desiring it, must unite with
the movement which has for its .purpose
their enfranchisement. This is the Indus
trial as well as the political battle, and no
woman can afford to hold aloof."
Mrs. Colby's address was vigorously ap
plauded, and she gave notice that she
would offer a resolutlon'of-protest against
the unjust decision of Mr. Heath.
After this report the committee on
finance was announced ns follows: Mrs.
Upton, Mrs. Hay, Mrs. Swift, and Mrs.
Day.
Miss Susan B. Anthony then spoke at
great length of her stay in England at the
Quinquennial International Congress of
Women, her visit to the Queen, and the
success achieved by her for -the cause of
suffrage during her stay in England. The
report of Miss Anthony was very favorably
received. ,
The committee, on purification of the
press reported progress. -
Mrs-. William Scott, a colored delegare
of the Universal Peace" "Union", spoke
pleadingly for justice to the negro, asked
for the assistance and influence of the
National Woman Suffrage Association to
ibate the disgraceful scenes enacted in
the South, where the negro is practically
disfranchised. Hpr .appeal made a very
favorable impression.
The appeal of Mrs. Scott was followed
by the reports and addresses of the State
Presidents from California, Mrs. Mary W.
Swift; Colorado. Amy K. Corn
wall; Connecticut, Isabella Beecher
Hooker; Delaware, Emma Lore; District
of Columbia, Ellen Powell Thompson;
Georgia, Miss Adele Wilson.

CLAMORING FOE. JOBS.
3Iiirylund'.H Governor llenet ly Seek
er After Olllee.
ANNAPOLIS, Md.. Feb. S. When Gov
ernor Smith returned from his visit to Bal
timore it was with difficulty that he made
his way through the mass of people con
gregated in the rotunda of the State House
to see him about appointments to office.
There were many delegations for differ
ent places within 'his gift. To all who
approached him he' gave ready audience,
but he was simply overwhelmed by num
bers. He asked the press representatives
to announce that he would not receive
delegations after this week. He has re
ceived all the applications and recom
mendations necessary to guiue' linn" with
regard to appointments. He will consult
these letters and recommendations, and as
his time is limited he will as soon as pos
sible begin to send in nominations to the
Senate.
Governor Smith says that unless he gets
relief from the pressure of personal inter
views he will not be able to attend to the
public business, as many bills being
passed by the Legislature are claiming his
attention, in addition to the claims of in
dividuals upon his time for office.
He desires applicants hereafter simply
to file their recommendations with the Sec
retary of State, with the assurance to be
relied upon that due consideration will be
given each one.
Probably the largest and most influen
tial backing of any applicant for reap
pointment to office is that of John L. Hebb
as a civil justice of the peace. Mr. Hebb
has lean a justice on German Street for
thirteen years, and he has the names of
all the leading business men of Baltimore
on his petition, headed by Attorney Gen
eral Raj ner.
Among the visitors to Annapolis today
were Messrs. John S. Tracy. Joshua War
field. Charles Pickett, and Green Selby.
They came to confer with Senator Peter
and the Howard delegation in the House
about local appointments and Mils.

with some friends and young Dieckert was
behind the bar. when Johnson entered the
place. Johnson, .who had been drinking,
demanded the key to his room. Young
Dieckert declared that Johnson had the
key in his pocket. Johnson called him a
liar but found the key in his pocket a mo
ment afterward. A dispute between John-s-on
and the bartender about the payment
for some drinks followed, and, after some
wrangling. Johnson pulled a revolver from
his pocket, remarking, "You will get this
if you are not careful.
The elder Dieckert and several card play
ers grabbed Johnson and tried to wrench
the revolver from him and young Dieckert
ran out from behind the bar to thrash him.
As he did so. Johnson pulled the trigger.
The bullet struck tlie young man in the
abdomen nnd he fell. Johnson struggled
with the other men with the fury of a
mad man, and he was not overpowered un
til Roundsman Connors and Detectives Still

arrived and clubbed him into submission.
An ambulance was summoned from J.
Hood Wrfght Hospital, but before young

expired in his father's arms. Johnson was
locked up in the West 100th Street station.
He is a carpenter by trade. He has board

Kisli Scales in Demmiil.
In a report from Lyons to the State De
partment Consul Covert says:
"A call has been made at this consulate
for fish scales, to be used in the manufac
ture of artificial pearls and other orna
ments by the recently discovered method
of a French scientist. The supply is much
less than the demand, and it is said that
large quantities will be used and a good
price paid for them.. The scales should be
sprinkled with salt as soon as they are
removed from the fish and packed in tin
cans. Any specimens sent to this consul
ate will receive careful examination, and
the results with any suggestions that may
be made and particulars of prices offered,
will be duly reported. It is believed here
that the sale of these scales may result
in establishing an important business in
an article that now has no commercial
value."

NEW YORK. Feb. S. The Mollneux
trial was resumed before Recorder Goft", in
the Court of General Sessions. thi3 morn
ing, with Assistant District Attorney Os
borne summing up for the people. Mr.
Osborne picked up the thread of his ad
dress to the jury where he dropped it yes
terday afternoon, which was almost at the
beginning. He only had time, after Bar
tow S. Weeks finished his two-days' plea
for Molineux's life, to make an apology to
the Jury for the .part he had borne In the
numerous little tilts that had occurred be
tween him and his opponents during the
course of the trial, and to make a few
other remarks, when the recorder shut
him off, and adjourned court. He said yes
terday that he- had not made a definite
plan as to the length of his address, but
he did not think he would take more than
four or five hours. Accordingly, it Is ex
pected that he will finish his address be
fore adjournment, leaving the recorder
free lo begin the preparation of his charge
to the jury before tomorrow's session.
Scenes in the west corridor of the floors
of the Criminal Court Building, in which
are the four parts of the Court of General
Sessions, indicated this morning that all
the interest manifested in the proceedings
against Mollneux In the early days of the
trial has been revived and intensified. Tlie
corridor was crowded with clamorous men
and women whose desire to hear the As
sistant District Attorney's argument even
the rain could not affect. Some of them
displayed passes from the District Attor
ney's office, some displayed requests from
the counsel for the defence, requesting the
police to admit them, some had safe con
ducts from other sources, but most of them
had nothing that might win consideration
from the court officers.
Captain McLaughlin of the court squad,
had a list of those who had passes or re
quests. One by one these arrived, the
women receiving attention first. They were
quickly seated in the section of chairs to
the left of the main aisle, the other three
sections being reserved for the men. The
admission of spectators' began an hour be
fore the time set for the opening of court,
and by 10 15 o'clock every chair in the
room was occupied. When the seats were
all taken, the doors of the court room
were locked, and two burly policemen kept
that part of the corridor near the couit
room free from crowds lest the clamor
for admission disturb the court.

n StroiiK: Picked Tcnm.
The league game of basketball scheduled
to be played last night in the Infantry
Armory, by the Eastern Athletic Club and
Carroll Institute, was canceled at the
last moment because the latter team was
withdrawn from the league at a meet
ing of the board of governors of the Insti
tute hold Tuesday evening.
In order not to disappoint the large
crowd which had assembled to witness the
contest the Eastern Athletic Club con
sented to play an exhibition game with a
"picked" team, and the Easterns won by
the score of S to 2.
The picked team was one of the strong
est which has taken the field at the
Armory this season, and included one or
more of the best players from the Light
Infantry, Corcoran Cadets, Central High
and Y. M. C. A.
At the end of the first half the picked
team was shut out, 4 to 0, little Dunn
landing two goals before the gong sound
ed. Hughes scored in clever manner and
Dunn tossed another goal in the last half,
white Burnett saved the "picked" team
from a whitewash. Tlie game was fast

In spite of British rule, India is still virtually
a soaplcss country. Throughout the villages of
Hindustan soap is indeed regarded as a natural
curiosity, and it is rarely, if ever, kept in stock
by the native shopkeepers. In the towns it is
now sold to a certain extent, but how small this
is may be gathered from the fact that the total
yearly consumption of soap in India is about
100,000 hundredweight that is to say, every 2,500
persoas use on an average only 112 lbs. of soap

to be shared with you. Still the
near approach of inventory has
made us cut where we have cut
doubly deep. Little doubt but you'll
rate this. Friday a bargain climax.

THE BIG LEAGUE QUA2TDAHY.
3lnp:n"tcs l!uill 'Worried liy the? New
IlitNvbiill Awsoeintimi.
NEW YORK, Feb. S. In spite of the at
tempt at secrecy on the part of the Na
tional League magnates, and in spite of
their denials of almost every statement
relative to the circuit reduction plan,
President Freedman, of the New York
cfub, has allowed the cat to escape from
the bag. He says that at the conference
at Cleveland held by the circuit committee,
before which Messrs. Abell, Hanlon, snd
Ebbetts appeared in the interests of the
Brooklyn-Baltimore syndicate, the price set
upon the Baltimore franchise, which in
cluded the lease of the grounds and ser
vices of McGraw and his men, was a cool
$75,000
According to the New York president,
this price staggered the circuit committee
nnd the other magnates have now pro
nounced it exorbitant, especially as they
do not see how Hanlon and Von Der Horst
can deliver the goods.
On top of this disclosure comes the sur
prising statement from Hanlon that the
Baltimore franchise will not be sold, and
that League ball will be played in that
citv again this year, despite all other
declarations to the contrary. Hanlon fur
ther states that this, decision is final.
If the Baltimore club does not leave the
League, there will be a mix-up all around.
Hanlon and "Von Der Horst will be com
pelled to either regain their grounds by a
fight in the courts or build new ones. In
addition to this, if Freedman sticks to what
he has said for the past six months, the
New York team will not be strengthened
and another season of empty benches at
the Polo Grounds will await the visiting
teams. Another phase of the new situation
is thnt the Brooklyn men are anxious to
reduce the circuit by getting rid of Balti
more, which appears to be In direct opposi
tion to the wishes of Hanlon and Von Der
Horst. The additional fact that the new
association has at last received encourage
ment at Philadelphia has further compli
cated matters. The League men, compelled
