Tho Women Defeated.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 31.-The women
of Wisconsin were defeated in the supreme
court to-day, the court holding in an elab-
crate opinion that the legislature did not
for the moment contemplate extending
the same suffrage to females which males
enjoy, but on the other hand, meant to
restrict female voting to school matters
only, as specified in the law. The case
was that Of Olympia Brown Willis OF
Racine against A. l.. Phillips and other
inspectors of election of the second ward
of the city of Racine who at last spring.

of Mrs. Willis for mayor, city clerk, comp

claimed such right under chapter 81 of
the laws Of 1885 and Immediately sued the
inspectors for IS and damages. She won
the suit in the circuit court for Racine
county, when the inspectors appealed to
the supreme court, which to-day reversed
the decision of the lower court and held as

An elevated stage, twenty-six feet square
had been erected in the center of the
floor. At 1870 Dempsey and McCaffrey
entered the ring, the early part Of the
lesser lights. The fight, taken as a
whole, was a very tame affair. There was
much dissatisfaction over the selection of

1853 pounds, McCaarey los.

large storeroom. Mr.. Bohnstedt is the

a goodly portion of the house day was
devoted to consideration of Mr.. LaGrcntz's
registration bill by tho committee of the
whole, Mr.. Kuykendall in the chair. The
measure, a review of which has been Civ
en- in these columns, was well received by
the house. About the only material OBJ
lection advanced was to the compensation
provided for registrars, the bill leaving
this to the discretion of the county COM
m%issioners in a great measure, simply
stating that not moro than % cents per
name should be charged. Messr5. Roberts
and Sutherland thought 4 lair
ton should be allowed. The latter said
that in Albany county, at so much per
name, registrars would serve at a loss at
many precincts. Mr.. Summers thought
that a mans patriotism would enable him
to serve the territory or county a few hours
gratis. The shirkers would be few. Mr..
Adams believed that a per diem compen-
sation was more practicable and desirable.
Mr.. Huntington was certain that this was
a matter for the commissioners to regu-
late. After Mcssrs. Hooper and Samp-
son had spoken upon the subject the
compensation section was amended by fix
ing the salary of registrars at 81 per day.
The bill, as amended, was referred to the
judiciary committee.
