WOMAN sUFFRAGE-FAyoRABLE Ac.
TIoN IN THE SENATE.
The resolution offered by Senator
Morrill,, some weeks ago, asking for
the appointment of select committee
to which all petitions, memorials and
documents relating to the rights Of
women shall be referred, passed the
Senate by vote of 50 to 90. The
measure was stoutly opposed by sew
eral Senator's, but its passage by sach
decisive vote may be regarded as an
expression of the Senate in favor of
woman suffrage. Senators Sawyer
and Cameron, of Wisconsin, both voted
for the resolution. During the discds-
sion on Mr.. Morrill's resolution a
number of distinguished female suf-
frage advocates, from distant parts of
the country, watched the proceedings
with much interest. Among the no.
ticeable may be mentioned the we'll

ELEGANT RECEPTIONS BY OFFICIALS.
There have been a number of elegant
receptions by the higher officials the

palatial residence, externally and in

cent. The reception was attended by
those in the higher ranks of
official life, also by distinguished civil
ians. Wisconsin was represented by
Hon. C. G. Williams and Others. The

of the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
brings him into familiar and social re-
