WASHINGTON, June 16.-In the Star-route
trial several witnesses have been examined
concerning the Agate route, but the
testimony is not of special Importance.
After recess several witnesses were exam
ined, and a number of papers offered in evil
dence. A number of other papers were
also read, and the hearing was adjourned
till Monday, Judge Wylie remarking that
the court would be employed with other
business tomorrow. This statement taken
in connection with the fact that the grand
jury meets at IL o'clock tomorrow, and other
correlative circumstances, affords ground fer
the belief that presentments will be returned

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
REPORT OF THE SENATE coMMrTTEE-Ho
IT STOOD.

REPORT OF THE SENATE COMMTTTEE-How
IT STOOD.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-The Senate Com e.
mittee on Woman Suffrage has reported
The committee consists of Senators Lapham,
Anthony, Ferry, Blair, George Jackson and
Fair. The four Republicans report in favor
of an amendment TO the United States con
stitution to secure the rig ght of suffrage to all
citizens, without regard to sex. The three
Democrats unite in a minority report against
such IN amendment. The majority report is
about ak pages in length. Two-thirds of the
space is given to a history of the rise,
progress and triumphs of the woman-suf-
frage movement; another page is filed with
quotations from men of distinction who have
spoken favorably of the cause, as sort Of
offset to the gibes it has encountered. There
is page altogether OF original argument on
the question. This is neither very lucid nor
very forcible. Alter reciting what has been
done by seven State Legislatures on this SUBJ
isct, the report says:
notwithstanding ali these efforts. il is the
opinion of the best informed men and
women who have devoted more than 2 cen
tury to the consideration and discussion OF
the subject, that an amendment to the Fed
eral constitution, in analogy to the fifteenth
amendment OF that instrument, is the most
safe, direct and expeditions mode of settling
the question. 1t is the question of the en-
VI race now ueQlSu tue
right, and that, too, the most favored race
IN the estimation OF those who deny the
right. Petitions from time 10 time, signed
by many thousand petitioners, have been
presented to Congress, and there are now
upon our files seventy-fve petitions repre-
sentiDg eighteen different States. Two years
sgo treble the number of petitions, repre-
senting over twenty-five different States, were
presented, If Congress should adopt the
pending resolution, the question would go
before the intelligent bodies who are chosen
to represent the people in the legislatures OF
the various States, and would receive more
enlightened and careful consideration than
if submitted TO the masses of the male popu-
lation, with all their prejudices, in the form |
of an amendment to the constitutions CT the |
several States. Besides such an amendment |
to the constitutions of the several States, |
such an amendment, if adopted, would Sc
cure that uniformity in the exercise OF the |
right whick could not be expected by action
from the several States. We think the
time has arrived for the submission of such
an amendment to The Legislatures OF the

PITTSBURGH, June 16.-What little that
was near in the iron situation to-day was in
favor of the manufacturers. The Apollo
Mills and those of Klomar & Co. are still in
operation with non-union men. The work
men are said TO be getting along very well,
andl are becoming skilfuI. At the Iron
Association rooms it was alleged that in two of
the mills the union men had sent committees
to the proprietors Offering to resume work at
the old wages. 1t was deemed advisable not
to give the names of the firms, but it was
said one of them would start up next week,
and the other as soon as orders would come
IN A manufacture, reviewing the situation,
figured up five iron mills in this district as
running, that would run without having
signed the scale.

A FEW days ago we published the fact
that assessment OF two per cent. had been
levied upon the civil-service employees of the
government for campaign purposes. A few
i dependent men and women will, some
have already refused to pay this eIaction,
but the majority, fearing the result of re-
fusal, will pay up and say nothing about it.
1t is not easy to calculate the whole amount
that may thus be raised, but the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill
calls for $19,777 900, and, as this includes
the greatest part of the persons employed by
the government, two per cent. levied on that
amount would yield $685. $40. A neat sum
for campaign fund this, and the delibera-
tion with which the Republicans are going
about 10 raise it very naturally irritates the
civil-service reform Republicans, as well az
Democrats, who are opposed to this method
OF open and shameless bargain and sale and
corrupt means of perpetualiDg Republics-,
power. If there is any law to supn=s-ssit it
ought to be suppressed. ~ shame and

THE uestion of the admission of women
physicians 10 the Massachusetts Medical
Society, which has been before that body for
full thirty years, has at last been decided in
the affirmative. Ca Wednesday last resolu-
ton was adopted by that body, to be referred
to the executive couBcil OF the society, ,provid-
ing for such change in the bylaws as shall
admit women to membership and practice
This ends long struggle, the perpetuation
of which is an enigma TO people outside OF
Massachusetts, whsre women physicians
have for some yesrs been employed by the
State in places where the highest technical
skill is necessary. The evolution of this
movement, as traced by the Boston Adotr-
tiser, shows that in 1852 the censor, were di-
rected to examine males only. In 1867 the
councillors voted the admission of female
students to rhe Massachusetts General
Hospital inexpedient In 1878 legal
opinion advised the society that the censors
have the right of deciding whether sex is a
disqualification for medical practice, and
they were instructed not to admit women.
In 1875 a special committee reported in
favor of admitting women, bat the sub
iect was indefinitely postponed. In
1879 the councillors voted in favor
OF admitting women, but the vote
was rescinded in 1880, and new bylaw
recommended. In 1881 the subject was laid
on the table, and in 1852 it ia at last dis
posed Of, as the State had previously disposed
OF il, in favor of women. Massaeh usetts,
which usually leads in these matters, was
hehind in this instance All the other New
England States admitted women, Vermont
taking the initiative in 1875. California
admitted q woman to the State Medical
Society in 1855. The Middle and Western
S ates all admit women, the Michigan and |
Kansas State Societies having done so in
1872, and Tennessee admitted them in 1880. |
How any medical society could reject
woman who was regular graduate OF |
recognized medical college is an amazing |
puzzle TO the uninitiated, and in time 10
come will be one Of those things men will |
not care to be twitted with or to discuss. !

The Great Labor Demonstration at
Pfttsburg.

PrTsBURG, June 16.-The preparations
for the demonstration of organized labor, ap-
pointed to take place tomorrow in this city,
have been going on busily during several
days, but to-day the interest among those
concerned has redoubled, and all hands are
srduously engaged in the final work of get
ting their respective associations into trim
shape. 1t will be the largest turnout
that has ever occurred here, and the greatest
trades union demonstration this country has
seen 1t is impossible zaay how many or
ganizetioas will participate, but judging
from the fact that the FIRST division alone
will comprise sixty-nine assemblies of the
Knights of Labor and that there will be five
grand divisions, the number will hardly fall
short of 300, and the men in line probably
25,OOO strong. Every man will bear desig-
mating badge and every delegation or society
will have its band, banners, notices, ETC., SO
that the outlook for very handsome dis
play is excellent.q

THE TREASURY.

THE CIRCULAR ISSUED BY THE SECRETARY OF
THE TREASURY.
WASHINGTON, June 16-A circular was
issued by the secretary of the treasury
Wednesday in regard to the use of danger
Gus oils on passenger steamers. IL takes the
place of circular No. 81, concerning which
there has been SO much discussion of late,
and modifes it slightly. The change was
made to meet the views of the representa-
tives of various steamboat lines, who main
tanned that a certain oil used by them,
namely: mineral sperm-oil," though a
product of petroleum, was neither crude nor
refined petroleum within the meaning OF the
statute prohibiting the use of dangerous oils,
the product of petroleum. This circular simply
leaves the matter where it will rest with the
inspectors in each case to decide whether the
oil useG falls within the class prohi bited.
F. General Duuont, supervising Inspector
general, TO day addressed the following let
ter on the subject to the surveyor of customs
at Louisville, KY:
SIR reply to your letter Of the 9th in-
slant, you are Informed that if the mineral
sperm or mineral seal-oil,' referred TO by
you is neither crude ror refined petroleum,
nor other like dangerous explosive oil, it is
not prohibited by section 4472 of the Re-
vised Statutes, an extract from which was
published in circular No. 81, dated May
"a, 1882, and tee provisions thereof would
not apply to such oils. The department,
however, will not make any general rule on
the subject, but must depend upon the judg-
ment and discretion OF it's officers as to the
safety and lawfulness. of the oils used on
passenger steamers iu their jurisdiction"

ONE THOUSAND MILLION DOLLARS REQUIRED
BY THE PENSION ARREARS BILL.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-A thousand mill
ion dollars is the which the arrears of

As the tendency has been to underestimate
the chances are that the sum will be found
! TO be larger rather than smaller when the
cost is finally ascertained. The old roll,
estimating at low figure, would require an
average expenditure of about $50 600 900
a year for twenty-five years. That is half
billion more, so that the total sum which in
the next twenty-five years Will be expended

or more than one-third OF the cost Of the late
war. The adoption to-day Of that clause in

WAsHINGToN, June 16.-It Is understood
that the naval appropriation bill, which is
in charge of subcommittee consisting OF
Robeson (chairman), Ketchurn and Atkins,
has been drafted by Robeson and will soon
be submitted to the subcommittee. The
draft of the bill, which is printed, proposes,
it is said, to appropriate Sl0,000,000 for the
completion Of the four monitors now on the
stocks along the Delaware river, $275 900 for
finishing the monitor Miantonamah at Mare
Island maynard, California, and $4,000
for the purchase of breech-loading steel
guns. The aggregate amount of which the
bill in its present shape approriates is little
more than $15,000,000. 1t is further said
that the draft of the bill contains some pro-
posed legislation on the subject of reorgan-
izing the navy, and provides, among other
things, for the abolishing of the rank of
