It is observed that a number oil

they allege that the proposed fish

United States and against Canadian
interests. In this country num-
Der Of newspapers are criticising the
treaty on the ground that it favors
the Canadians rather than our own
citizens.
In Government circles this sort of
thing is known as diplomacy. When
any great question like this is to be

which he says, referring to the
clubs proposition to make him as

Special Dispatch TO The Appeal
WASHINGTON, March 25--The interna.
tlonal council OF women has not yet begun,
but already there is q rumor OF very Sc
rious difference between two OF the most
distinguished representatives OF the new
and highly improved order OF things. Tho
trouble dates from yesterday, when num-
Der OF the delegates 10 the council appeared
before the House judiciary committee and
delivered speeches in advocacy OF the pro-
posed sixteenth amendment 10 the consti-
tuition granting tho right Of suffrage 10
women. Among those present were tho
officers OF the National Woman's suffrage
association and Mrs. Belva Lockwood.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the pres
ident Of the association, made the OPEN
ing speech, which in the opinion Of
her friends and coadjutos was very able
and effective presentation OF their side u
the case. At the conclusion OF the speech
Mrs. Bclya Lockwood arose and without
previous invitation, so II Is said, made some
remarks calculated in the opinion Of tho
members Of the official board OF the coun-
cil TO mar the effect Of Mrs. Stanton's
speech. Mrs. lockwood's participation In
the debate was also considered an un-
warrantablc interference, and when the
delegation returned to their hotel confer
cnce Of the officers was held and II was de-
termined 10 strike Mrs. l.ocSwood's
name from the list Of delegates to the conn
ell and exclude her from the executive
sessions OF the body.
Mrs. Lockwood comes to the council
with her credentials properly signed, and
represents one OF the northern branches of
tho association ~ a delegate. There aro
other representatives OF the same organiza-
ton, however, In the city, aud IL n in tho
power OF the executive board Ia select
which one shall bc tho actual delegate. 10
was accordingly decided 20 appoint some
one else and exclude Mrs. Lockwood.
The affair IA likely lolcsd NJ least 10 apro-
test. This Is Mrs. lockwoods home, and
she IN n very positive and energetic woman,
| one not likely patiently and mcomplain-
inely TO submit 10 this summary action Of
the council.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-An important
transaction was closed day or two ago
which promises TO develop good-sized
town within a few miles OF Washington
where there is nothing but poorly cultivated
farms. A year ago Georgia farmer named
Kirk discovered indications Of gold-pearing
quartz on the Potomac river about five
miles above Washington, and at once be-
gan prospecting for the mineral. He had
little money OF his own, but induced rel
alive by marriage named Clark, TO oadvance
him enough to carry on investigations.
The two then secured an option on the farm
where the quartz lay and began operations
on small scale. Theysunk several shafts
and took out several tons Of rock, then
Clark induced Senator Sawyer, OF Wiscon-
sin, TO put up enough money TO test the
value OF the find. Senator Sawyer ad.
vanced about 5000. The rock was tested
and was shown to be rich. Later the SEN
ator bought the option OF these mon, Civ
ing them small amour, in cash and Ger.
tain interest and prepared TO 20 into mining
on large scale. Within few
days he has bought out the inter
est and has secured deods TO the
property. Altogether Senator Sawyer
has invested about seO, 600 in the land,
which, for agricultural purposes. il not
worth more than 5000 or 5000. Clark
and Kirk have comfortable bank accounts,
and Senator Sawyer Ii understood to have
ordered 100000 feet OF lumber from his
western mills for the purpose Of erecting
the necessary buildings TO carry ON the
mining operations as well as 10 shelter the
men whom he expects 10 employ. There
are said TO be three rich gold Bearing veins
OF quartz on the Maryland bank Of the
Potomac, one oi which passes through
the Sawyer property, the other veins
have been traced for more than mile,
and the quartz which has been taken out
has proved Of great value. Clark 4 Kirk

What the Chicago Times Says OF 1.-THE
Switohmen Strike.


CmcAoo, H., March 25. Tomorrow the
Chicago Times will print the following re-
gardng the answer 10 the Burlington made
by tho Rock Island In the suit brought In
Judge Gresham's court, charging that the
Burlington oonspired 10 create great
western railroad trust, and In pursuance OF
that policy held down rates for some time
a fter the other roads were willing and
anxious TO restore them;
Without any reference to the merits OF
the charge that tho Burlington WIS seek
ing to establish trust" there was with.
out doubt movement in favor Of creating
what was to be known as board to con.
troll which was 10 have the power Of dc-
eide all questions arising between tho rail
roads in the wcst, 10 Arrange the rates on
and control the through and competitive
business Of the western lines
AT the tlSt conference held about q
month ago this plan was submitted and
rejected by large majority. Justly or
not, the impression prevailed that II was n
Burlington plan, and Il was common gos-
sip among the officials that tho three mem.
men Of the "board Of control would have
been +. 7. Ripley, OF the Southwestern
and J. n. Faithorn, Of the Western and
Northwestern freight bureaus. The OIL
cials were formerly persuaded that th,
board thus constituted would have been
managed In the interests OF the Burlington
and from this belief arose the intense OPP
position TO II. Al this same meeting upon
proposition 10 restore rates the Burling
ton representatives voted In the negative
II being understood that that compan,
would not acqnicsce until a permanent
agreement among the roads had lint beer
arrived NJ.
Since then the conference committee ha
agreed upon report TO be submitted I

justing board 10 take up and settle di
puied q. sdons, and thus Il really q boai
OF arbitration, its power being limited an
the right OF appeal arranged for.
subsequently the burlington agreed
restore the rates, but for what reason ha
not been made apparent.
Everything j. very quiet with ms q

Burlington company this afternoon wheI
asked about the swltchmen's strike. "Bu
