 PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-The committee of citizens appointed to raise funds for the relief of the sufferers at Plymouth, Luzerne county met to-day at the office of the Mayor A. J.

Another Encounter With the Police
 at tPere-La.Chafse.
 PARIS, May 25.-The Communist demon stration at -Pere-la-Chaise, which continued to-day, proceeded quietly until late in the afternoon. when encounter took place be- tween the police and number of Commun- ists who were interring the body of com- rade. The speeches made over the grave by leading Communists were of such violent character that the crowd became excited and led by M. Rochefort they started in a body to sally out of the gate of the cemetery shouting and waving red flags. The police had carefully refrained up to this point from any interfer- ence with the movements of the Communists during the day. This action, however, com. pelled them under their general orders to in= terfere They made 8 rush to disperse the rioters and capture the red flags. A desper- ate encounter was the result, the Commun- ists having armed themselves with knives. Several of the combatants on both sides were wounded, but none, it is thought, fatally. The police finally dispersed the rioters and made many arrests.
 The opinion is general that there will be serious trouble to morrow between the po- lice and the Communists. The people of the lower quarters of the city are much excited by the events of yesterday and to-day. It is reported that the authorities have decided to erect barricades in the streets early in the morning It is now fully proved that to- days riot was provoked by the unnecessary and brutal interference of the police

WOMAN SUFFRAGE,
Senator Hoar Makes a Plea For the


 Sex.
 BOSTON, May 25.-The seventh annual meeting of the New England Woman Suf- frage association opened in Fremont Temple this evening with addresses by Senator Hoar and Mary A. Livermore. Senator Hoar read an elaborate address from manuscript. He said his experience for twenty-five years had convinced him that women should vote. He quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson and Chief Justice Waite as men who, after years of in- tense thought, had become emphatic woman suffragists. The speaker read letter from Governor Warren of Wyoming which states that since women were allowed to vote politi- clans were forced to nominate the best men in order to secure election. Everybody was satisfied with the result. Another letter was read from Chief Justice Green of Washing ton territory. It stated that the presence of women at the polls had purified and elevated the tone of politics. Not single well in- formed woman in the territory would relin- quish her right. The principal opposition to the change came from the rumsellers and the brothels. Senator Hoar declared that the time had come when this reform must be pressed till it is accomplished. Mrs. Liver more referred to the progress of suffrage since it's early history All limitations have now been removed, excepting those against women. Even these, the speaker felt sure would soon be removed.
