THE REPORT DENIED.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 26.-Mr.
Homer Fellows, the father of Miss Fellows.

to have married Chaska, Sioux Inaian,
says that he received let
ter tonight from his daughter, dated
March IL, announcing that she was to be
married to Mr.. Samuel Campbell, nephew
of the Rev. Dr.. Hanford, of the Episcopal
church. Mr.. Campbell is employed by the
bureau of Indian affairs, and is stationed
at Fort Bennett. In q letter of a

night, that gentleman says that he has q
slight trace of Indian blood in his veins.

ports that have been published.
The Coz nc ! Of women.
WASHINGTON, d. e., March 26.-The coun-
cll OF women formally opened to-day in
Albaugh's grand opera house. It was as
sembled by the National Women's Suffrage
association of the United States to celebrate
the fortieth anniversary of the first woman's
rights convention. Susan B. Anthony
callsd the convention to ordes.
On the stage were seated
over 100 delegates from the women's rights
associations or other kindred organizations
in the United States. About thirty organiza-
tions of this country are represented in
this convention, which is probably the
largest assemblage of notable women in the
history of this country.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton delivered the adj
dress of welcome, and after reviewing at
some length the history of such movements,
she said: "Above all things that women
need to-day in their reform work is thor
ough organization, and to this end We must
cultivate some esprit de corps of our sex, q
generous trust in each other. A difference
of opinion on one question must not pre-
vent us from working unitedly on those on
which we agree. Let us hold Qua theolog-
ical speculation of future life
in allegiance to the practical
work of the present existence,
recognizing all sects alike and all religions,
Jews and Gentiles, Catholic and Protestant,
to be held equally sacred in their honest
opinions, the solicitude of every human
soul alike in our moments of exaltation
ard humiliation, in our highest
joys and deepest sorrows, into
which no other one can fully enter, proves
our birthright to supreme self sovereignty"
At the conclusion of Mrs. Stanton's adj
dress (Which was often inter.
rupted by applause) Miss Anthony
introduced to the large audience,
in the order named, delegates from Nor
way, Finland, France, India, Ireland Eng
land and Canada. Each was greeted with
hearty applause, to which brief responses
u era made.
