peal of the liiin 1.
The Association of Military Surgeons
Is In favor of the repeal of the anti
canteen law. At the morning session in
tho state house yesterday the subject
was Introduced by resolution, In a paper
by Maj. Louis L. Seaman, late of the
First United States volunteer engineers.
No intimation had been given beforehand
that the subject would be brought up
and when it was it caused much sur
prise and more discussion, though there
was none who opposed the speaker. An
other resolution was introduced by Col.
Reed, of Wyoming, to constitute every
delegate a committee to see the congress
men from his-state and to provide lor
a committee of three to labor with con
gress. This also was adopted. It is the
plan to have the last committee act with
the legislative committee of the American
MedicaG association. Maj. Seaman's ra
per was exhaustive and to the point, the
subject being, "Ra.ticns anJ the Can
teen in the Army in the Tropics." In
part he said:
"Of what value is the best evidence
before a court or congress that would
sell its birthright for a mess of pottage,
as was done by the last one in its servile
catering for votes, by submitting,
against its judgment, to the influence
of a lot of fanatical and hysterical
women, and abolishing the army post
exchange, or canteen. As you well know,
the overwhelming testimony of line and
staff officers, men of probity and honor,
total abstainers and others, was almost
to a man in favor of the retention of the
post exchange. It is not my purpose to
review the evidence on this subject that
was pretty thoroughly threshed during
the debate in congress, but there was
one very important factor that was en
tirely omitted in the discussion that may
furnish a subject for reflection for those
who were instrumental in bringing about
this lamentable change. The enemies of
the canteen seem to have forgotten that
when men accustomed to the use of
stimulants are deprived of them in one
way, they will resort to other methods to
obtain them. Less than 5 per cent
of the army are total abstainers. Sol
diers are not prisoners; they are well
paid men and have their pass days. The
habits of the vast majority of them were
formed long before their enlistment, and
a large proportion of them belong to the
class known as drinkers. When the sol
dier cannot obtain a glass of beer or
light wine at the post exchange in camp,
the first place he generally strikes for
when on pass is the nearest saloon, where
in Porto Rico he is served with rum
loaded with fusel oil; at home vile doc
tored whisky; in the Philippines, vino, a
sort of wood alcohol, distilled from the
nepa leaf; or in China, the samshu, a
product of rice; all rank poisons, one or
two drinks of which steal away his
brain. Then follow excesses to which In
his sober moments he would be the__last
to descend—insubordination—drunkenness,
debauchery or desertion.
CANNOT LEGISLATE VIRTUE.
"Congress, when considering the repeal
of the anti-canteen act, as it must at its
next session, will do -veil to remember
that the abolition of the post exchange
has not even promoted temperance. On
the contrary, it has decidedly promoted
intemperance, Insubordination, discon
tent, sullenness, disease and desertions.
It has embittered the men and driven
them to the very excesses sought to be
abolished. You cannot legislate men to
be virtuous or to be total abstainers, b%";
you can, by Judicious handling, promote
chastity and temperance. The canteen
fostered moderation. It led the hard
drinker to less Indulgence, a,nd rttnoved
the temptation wiucn always clings to
forbidden fruit. s Its ablltion angered
the men. They felt it as an Insult to
their manhood, and a deprivation of their
natural rights. They will drink if they
wish, and they resent the attempt to pre
vent them. A glass or two of beer Is
not Injurious to them, and they know it,
and sneerlngly criticise congressmen,
paid servants of the government—who
retain their well-patronized cloak-room,
with its private stock of good old whisky,
but who rob the soldiers—other paid
servants of the same government—of
their right to take a glass of beer on
their camp grounds in their well-disci
plined and orderly canteents. And who
will gainsay the justice of this conclu
sion?"
ADOPT A RESOLUTION.
After the reading of the paper a gen
eral discussion followed and the consen
sus of opinion was that the women of
the "W. C. T. U. were more meddlesome
than they ought to be. Gen. Byers, of
Wisconsin; Col. Griffith, of Missouri, and
Col. Reed, of Colorado, all praised the
paper, and they were followed by others
who echoed their sentiments. Col. Grif
fith said that if it had not been for the
army canteen in Ch.lckanvauga there
would have been more trouble th.m there
was. Maj. J. Van Renssellaer Hoff. of
the regular army, said that the agitation
against the army canteen was first
brought atoout when the volunteer sol
diers returned from the Philippines. Th»
men were all inexperienced when they
went into the service, and they brought
back reports that somewhat misrepre
sented things. Tn many of the volunteer
regiments the canteens were imitations
of the post exchange, so called, but
abuses were allowed He said the as
sociation ought to take action in a dig
nified manner. Following is the resolu
tion that was the cause of the discus
sion:
"Whereas, The Association of Military
Surgeons of the United States, now in
session at St. Paul, recognizes that the
abolition of the army post exchange, or
canteen, has resulted, and must inevita
bly result, in an increase of intemper
ance, insubordination, discontent, deser
tion and disease in the army; therefore,
be it
"Resolved, That this body deplores the
action of congress in abolishing the said
post exchange, or canteen, and, in the
interests of sanitation, morality and dis
cipline, refommemls its re-establishment
at the earliest date."
ABOLISH THE JOURNAL,.
At the opening of the afternoon ses
sion the committee on journal, after hav
ing considered the various propositions
submitted, reported. The report read in
part:
"It believes the publication of a Jour
nal Inexpedient at the present time;
further, that many of the points sug
gested as reasons for the publication of
a Journal can be covered by the election
of a permanent secretary, who shall be
authorized to issue in pamphlet form
within thirty days after the meeting of
the association, the minutes of the
meeting, lists of officers and commit
tees for the ensuing year, and brief
notes of interest regarding the meeting,
and that circulars be issued by the sec
retary whenever in his judgment such >a
sue may be advisable."
Some discussion followed this.
NO ACTION WAS TAKEN.
Several of the surgeons present were
in favor of having a journal published,
'but the majority thought that the time
was not ripe for this. It seemed to bo
the consensus of opinion that the asso
ciation ought to pay more attention to
securing a larger membership list. The
membership has been falling off yearly,
and this has largely been due to the fact
that little or no effort haa been made
to get new members. It is expected
that today a proposition will be made to
start with a new slate. There are many
membera who are In arrears with their
dues, and this Is because they are in the
Philippines, or other pflaces. It will
be proposed to wipe them off the elete
and allow new applications to be filed
for admission whenever they ccc fit. The
surgeons do not think that it would be
proper to insist on having the back dues

ing their country and receiving no bene
fits from the association.
Two papers were read during the after
noon, the first being "Three Noteworthy
Cases of Brain Injury," by George Tuly
Vaughan, surgeon in the United States
Marine hospital serv.ee, and the second
on "Secondary Hemorrhages," by Chris
tian Fenger, the world-famed pathologist,
of Chicago.
MEDICS AT BANQUET.
iCrOv .Van Sant; Joins the Surgeons;
in-a Pleawuit Event.',
The annual dinner of the Military Sur
geons' association was given at-the Aber
deen 'at : 8:30 last evening. : Most of the
delegates to the convention were present.
The governor, who lives at the Aberdeen,
was called down ."■ from his comfortable
quarters on the second floor, and before
the banquet, ' more .: properly "dinner,"
was over, he proved to all that he was of
the jolly jjsort himself.- Gen. Griffith sat
on one side of him and Gen. Stone, the
presiding officer,\ on the other, and the
. trio kept up amusements during the \ en- J
tire evening. Next to them sat ••■Dr.\j
Christian Pengar, the pathologist from
Chicago, who has just been made an hon
orary member of the association. .■-.
„ The hall was decorated for the occasion
the same as it : was the evening - before"
for the reception. Every now and then
the orchestra would burst-forth in a vo
cal effort which would greatly add to
the effect of the string music, and the
surgeons enjoyed it hugely, for their
voices swelled forth in the chorus In a
truly and distinctively American fashion.
If there was any one' present who was
not a jolly good fellow at the time he
was _, unnoticed.
The banquet proper was a decided suc
cess. '.; .—-'
Dr. A. J. Stone was the toastmaster of
the evening. •He referred in his opening
speech to the brilliant work of the vol
unteer in the late war. He said he ac
cepted the amendment of Gen. Griffith by
calling it a running match, neverthe
less, running ' match .or not, they held
their own. And he was. proud of the work
that had been done by the army surgeons
during the war, and hoped they would
keep up their records. . He introduced as
the first speaker Gov. Van Sant, who
recalled the days of the Civil war. He
said that at the time it broke out many
thought it would last only three months,
but it proved to the contrary. - .
"We are fighting Americans now—not
Englishmen." .-■
The surgeons cheered this enthusiasti
cally and then Col. Charles Adams was
called upon. His speech was in the same
strain as the one that had been made,
by Gov. Van Sant. He was follfwed
by Gov. Van Sant. He was followed
thing in h-s speech was a statement to
the effect that the volunteers were a part
of the United States regular army. He
meant that the volunteers were not an
ephemeral body, but an organization' that
could be relied on at all times. Other
speakers of the evening were Maj. Sea
man, Capt. Wertenbaker, Gen.. Wheaton,
Gen. Priestly, Gen. Griffith, Dr. Bennett,
of London, Eng.
The officers for the ensuing year for the
association will be elected today. Some
man from the navy - will, in all proba
bility, be elected, as it is the turn of
the navy, and the right in fact, to have
the presidency. The name of ' John .C.
Wise, of the United States navy depart
ment, has been mentioned favorably by j
many members of the association, but it
is claimed by some that, as he .is - not
attending the convention, : he cannot
elected, according to the provisions of
the constitution. However that may be,
Mr. vTise seems to be the man who is
wanted. If the navy can furnish no suit
able candidate, the office will go to the
army. Dr. Stone was asked about the
coming election last night, and he said:
"The nominating committee,".'i or the
members, rather, are in honor bound not i
to say anything • about who will be
named; therefore you have no right and
should not ask questions on this sub
ject." -. . ■ ■■■- " y
If . there. Is no provision in tne consti
tution to the effect that a man must be
-present at the convention to be elected
as an officer, John C. Wise will be the
next president; If there is such a provi
sion, some other man will be selected,
probably from the army. Following are
the "members of the nominating commit

Maj. Root; Connecticut, Maj. Watson;

TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
TELEPHONE ABTO GAS COMPANIES
MUST KEEP APART.
Hereafter when permits are asked: by
the telephone and the gas companies for
permission to tear up the streets for th«
purpose of laying conduits and Tgas
mains the board of water commissioners
wants to be informed of the fact.
Under a plan adopted by the city, gas
mains were given one side of the street
and the water mains the other, the Idea
being to prevent interference and con
tamination. Examination of late has
■developed the fact that. the gas company
and the Twin City Telephone com,par:y
have been violating, this rule, the gas
company in several Instances laying its
pipes directly over the water mains,
while the conduits of the telephone com
pany were so placed as to call for con
siderable expense on the part of th«
water board in case it was necessary to
remove them to make repairs to the
water mains.
At the meeting- yesterday this matter
received considerable attention and the
secretary was instructed to ask of the
engineering department that the board.be
Informed 1 hereafter when such permits
were desired, that they might have a
chance to protest in case their rights
were interfered with. _.
Because of failure on the part of sonve
of the tenants of the new jail site a es
quired by the county to pay their water
rent the board yesterday instructed *he
superintendent to not turn the water on
again until the rents had been paid up
by the county. There is about $10 in
dispute.
Dr. Ohagpe's complaint of the filthy con
dition of the drinking fountains came up
for consideration, but the board could
not see where It was to blame, and so
decided to inform the doctor. They
say that the trouble can be removed if
the fountains are given a daily clean
ing.
The board decided to lay a water main
on Park avenue, from Viola to Como.
Bills for May amounting to $12,604.58
were reported and ordered paid.

■{■ V SIDERING REPORTS
HAMMERING AT CONGRESS
Ails* Susan Anthony Tells: of Treat
■•" ment Accorded-. Committee at
\\ ashing;mi— Amendment to
By-La Proposed.
Yesterday's sessions of the National
Suffrage association in Minneapolis wer©
strictly of a business nature. The social
courtesies were ail exchanged on the
opening day and the delegates came down
to routine work, discussing reports and
listening to recommendations. It was
noticeable, too, that ths rart of the
convention's -work was no: entirely con
genial to many of the delegates, who
absented themselves to enjoy the sight*
of the city.
One of the moat interesting reports pre
sented was that of the venerable ex
president, Miss Susan B. Anthony, who
outlined the efforts of the congressional
committee. She dilated with much wit
upon the familiar work of the committee
in urging upon the legislators the expe
diency of passing a sixteenth amendment
to the constitution granting fuM suffrage
privileges to women. This appea 1 met the
customary fate, and was scarcely con
sidered. Not much better was the treat
ment meted out to another movement,
which was brought afcout by new condi
tions. This was a petition that the word
"male" should not be inserted in the
electoral clause of the constitutions pro
posed for Hawaii and Potto Rico. Sup
port for this petition was secured from
every state and territory in the United
States. In the case of Wyoming it was
signed by every officer of the state, sev
eral federal officers and a host of promi
nent, citizens.
OPPOSITION WAS DEVELOPED.
A promising .sign was, Miss Anthony
thought, the fact that at the last con
gressional hearing a number of pro
nounced opponents to the proposals of
the committee made their appearance. In
past years even the trouble of opposing
the representatives of the association, was
not taken, and the whole matter was
quietly ignored.
FINANCES IN j^INE SHAPE.
An Important report submitted at the
morning session was that of the treas
urer, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, who
gave the following figures:
Total receipts for the year, $22,522; to
tal disbursements, $21,652.11; balance,
$869.89. The five states paying the largest
auxiliary dues are New York, Massachu
setts, lowa, Pennsylvania and Nebr*ska.
The states which have doubled member
ship are Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota,
Montana, Oregon Ohio, New Mexico and
the District of Columbia. The states
which have increased in membership,
Delaware, Lou.siana, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma
territory, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
West Virginia, Maryland, California,
Maine, New Jersey, Indiana, Vermont,
lowa, Arkansas, Utah and Kentucky.
The states making the largest contribu
tions are New York, Massachusetts New
Jersey, District of Columbia, Pennsyl
vania. Eighty-five life members have
been added within the year. These life
memberships brought in $3,750. The dis
bursements Included $3,777.47 for the or
ganization committee; $1,144,35 for the
press committee; $1,029 for the Washing
ton convention; $713.30 for literature; $2
-957.52 for maintaining the New York
headquarters, and considerable Bums for
clerk hire and printing. Since last year
Arkansas and Utah have been added to
the states paying dues to the national as
sociation.
TO OHANGffi PLACE OF MEETING.
Miss Laura Clay gave notice of an im.
portant resolution, an amendment to the
constitution which will relieve the N.
W. S. A., If passed, of the obligation to
hold its annual convention in Washing
ton onoe In two years, and give it free
dom to hold it In any part of the coun
try and at any seasfln of the year that
may be Judged beat for the advancement
of its objects. The amendment pro
vides for the striking out of the by
laws the words:
"An annual meeting- shall be held In
Washington, D. &, during the first ses
sion of each congress."
Mrs. Sarah Clay presented the report
of the committee on federal suffrage, In
which she stated that the committee had
continued to petition wongress to pro
tect white and black women, as well as
black men, in their rigiht to vote for
members of congress and presidential
electors, under the clause in the four
teenth amendment to the national con
stitution, which reads: "No state shall
make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of
citizens of the United States."
The report on the bazaar was included
in that of the corresponding secretary,
Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery, who stated
that much of the success of that enter
tainment was due to the efforts of Mrs.
Elnora Babcock, of the press commit
tee.
ON RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE.
At the close of the morning meeting
the. names reported "ty the states as
members of the resolutions committee
were:
Dr. Cideline Elwell Portman, District
of Columbia; Mrs. Laura Bruce Ken
tucky Mary Waldo Calkins, Missouri;
Mrs. Belle M. Perry, Michfean; Mrs!

MRS. CATTS HOT SHOT.
"The vital force of the suffrage cause,
or of any . other cause, will never be
found at the 'bottom of an ice cream
saucer," was .the core of the closing re
marks with which Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Catt summed j up the arguments- of the
National. Woman's Suffrage convention
yesterday afternoon. Some of her senti
ments were, "You are in a cause that is
harder to work - for than that of any
other reform ■ movement. 1 It takes a
higher order of mentality to stand for an
abstract Idea than it -does' to be inter
ested in those causes 'in which sentiment
and the emotions find play. It Is an easy
thing to get • people .to subscribe for
famine stricken India, easy to wok In
the Woman's Christian temperance cause
because both causes appeal alike |to the
: sentiment and emotions. ■> The greatest
barriers In the suffrage movement is the
lack. of leaders, and the reason there is
a lack of leaders is that • it requires in
tellect of the finest quality: to be able
to understand vitally ' that the "■: greatest
good that will. come from suffrage will
■be the elevation anti development or
j woman individuality. If .it Us true that
we can't organize j a state, { then women
don't want ito ,be: organized, -and they
are n,ot worthy or suffrage. The t:me has
not come for them to have It. ""I would
rather undertake to forward the work;
with one-half - dozen women who weie
earnest; yes, with r one who was organ
ized;, than -with twenty who were not.'
,-• Mrs. Catt - called attention to the fact
: that last year's national 1 bazaar had di
verted . members r from their ' purpose of
doubling the membership and urged to
renewed effort this year. ..

ACTION TAKEN' TO PROTECT PROP
ERTY AGAINST SUB-GROTJiXD
ELECTRICITY
AZFECTS STREET RAILWAY CO.
If tne Board Carrie* Oat Its Plan,
Trolley Car People Will Have
to Expend Money
Freely,
The presence of electrolysis and i'.s de
structive effect on water mains is aga:n
to receive the attention of the board ol
j water commissioners, tnis time in a
manner that may demand of the street
car company, and other corporations who
convey electricity by underground
methods, compliance with rules that will
prevent a repetition.
The determination of the water toard
to protect its property fruin the destruc
tive currents that are conveyed by the
tracks of ths street car comrany has
been brought about by a recent decision
of the United States court In which the
Peoria, 111., water works board is per
mitted to sue the street car company for
alleged damage sustained: to lta water
tower some time ago. With the destruc.
tion of the tower, which was Oiled with
water, four lives were blotted out, and
an examination made afterwards devel
oped the fact that the strength of the
iron structure had been impaired by
electricity, which had been conveyed
from the tracks to the foundation o*
the structure.
In the single trolley system, which is
in uee in St. Paul, and in fact In the
majority of cities where electricity Is
used as motive power for street cars, the
return of the current is made via the
street car tracks, the joints being wired
to facilitate its progress. Leakage nat
urally occurs with this system, the wav
wardl current seeking the first conductor
which comes in its way. It Is generally
an Iron water main, and from this the
term electrolysis comes. From the con
tact a deterioration of the iron occurs,
reducing its strength so that In time It
bursts.
At the meeting of the board yesterday
th« decision received full dlscusslcln, with
the result that the committee appointed
some months agro was instructed to at
once complete its report and hand the
same in at the next meeting:.
Pipe, which has suffered from the er
fects of electricity, has been taken up
a numib^r of times, and on several oo
casioTis the street car company's atten
tion has been called to the fact. Should
examination show that the presence cf
electrolysis is seneral, steps will be taken
to compel the company to put in an over
head return.
This would necessitated a heavy ex
penditure on, the part of the street car
company, which would be in all prob
ability in the courts.
FAREWELL ALMA MATER
TWELVE) YOUNG PEOPLE ARE
GRADUATED AT MACAI/ESTEH.
An audience that filled the large assem
bly hall of Macalester college witnessed
the commencement exercises of tne
academic department of that well known
educational institution last night.
An even dozen of the class, who by
creditable work, had entitled themselves
to the four-year college course, occupied!
the platform, each having some part in,
the exercises that marked the evening's
programme.
To Miss Ethel O. Brown was accorded
the honor of delivering the salutatory,
while the valedictory was the honor earn
ed by Owen A. Evans, of Minneapolis.
"Born to Serve" was the title of Miss
Brown's oration, Mr." Evans selecting
"Politics and Religion" as the subject of
his remarks. The class history, replete
with local hits, was a success in the
hands of Miss Grace Spreat.
"The Importance of a' Prep," a speech
by Otto E. Dornberg, was full of wit
ticisms, and delivered with, a dry sarcasm
that caught the spirit of the class ami
called for unbounded applause.
The remainder of the progiamm© was
given over to the class poem, by Charles
K. Morgan; the class prophesy, by
Thomas E. FUnn, and the,class song
composed by Miss Clara Ididings.
The honorary oration was delivered by
Miss Isabelle Elmer, she reading an
essay on "Helen Keller.", Her paper was
directed at giving a brief history of this
wonderful woman and pointing out her
attainments as an Object lesson for those
who would strive to study.
The presentation of the diplomas was
made by President Wallace, of the col
lege, he taking advantage of the occasion
to make a few remarks, filled with good
advice, for the students who were to en
ter upon a new college course.
WHAT ABOUT NO. 5?
DISPOSITION OF THE COIRT ROOM
QI"ESTIOAED BY COJIMI9SIOX.
At the meeting of the joint city hall
and court house commission, held late I
yesterday afternoon, !t was uiianlm>on~^ :
ly decided to ask the corporation attor
ney and the county attorney for opinions
in regard to the rights of the commission
in assigning court room No. 5. The mem
bers ol the commission seemed to feel
that they would like to know just what
power they have in this matter.
On motion of„ Commissioner Lott, fre
salary of the scrub woman at present
employed in the building was raised rr^m
$40 to $55. Mr. Lott stated, in mate:n,g
the motion, that the commission had
passed a resolution making the salary
of janitors $55 per month, and he did net
believe in paying the scrub woman any
less, when, In fact, she did just as much (
if not more, work than anyone of the
male janitors.
The bill of Dr. Archibald for $60.30 for
medical services rendered to Gust
Oberg, the janitor who was seriously hurt
by falling off a laddeT on the fourth
floor of the court house last sumirier,
was received 'back from Comptroller Mc-
Cardy, who asked for an explanation as
to the right by which the commission had
allowed It. A similar bill from Dr.
Rogers for $5 for examining the injured
man, was also received back from
B!l*ifffj^i
