WOMEN IN COUNCIL.
The Woman Suffrage Convention Closes
Session.

Inc W OEldH convention Closes Its
Session.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-In the conven-
ton of woman suffragists yesterday
morning a paper on the law of Federal
suffrage was read by Mrs. Virginia Minor,
of Missouri, who, several years ago, was
denied the right to vote by the Supreme
Court The paper was prepared by her
husband.
Miss Mary Clay. of Kentucky, said that
the condition of women was no better than
slavery. An equality OF right in the
married relation she thought would do
much good.
Rev. Olympia Brown, of Wisconsin,
spoke on the subject of women's right to
vote on school matters in her State. The
men, she declared, were endeavoring 10
make that right exceedingly limited and
to prevent them from voting for the State
and county superintendent of schools.
Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunniway,o of Oregon,
on the same topic introduced Fred
Douglass, who came upon the stage and
said he was in favor of comforting the
right of suffrage upon women. Women
were largely instrumental in bringing
about the freedom of his own race.
Mrs. Helen Cougar, CT Indiana, made a
speech in which she arraigned public men
of both political parties, but as she made
no reference to woman suffrage, Miss
Anthony finally interrupted her.
Mrs. Flora s. Colby. of Nebraska, edit.
ress of the Women's Tribune, read a paper
on "Women in Marriage" and the con-
vention adjourned sine die.

which was d pt d amid cheers. 1t briefly
set or!h t',at IN" Indian Territory is an
anomaly il ihs U ii ed States, and its
political and tribal 5 aus are an obstruc-
ton to civilization and detrimental to the
indians, rendering their land ten
ure insecure and their condi-
ton one of semi -barbarity. The
country is an asylum for criminals
of every kind, whose deeds Of
crime and violence make its name q
byword and reproach, and the Indians
are the victims of designing whites carry
ing with them the vices without the vir-
tues of their civilization. The memorial
further sets forth the necessity for the en-
forcement of the obligations of property
rights between whites Criminals fleeing
from the States can not be reached by ex-
tradition or other process and the Terri
tory is a harbor for criminals of all kinds
and classes. No intention is expressed to
deprive the Indians of their rights, but
rather to allot them their lands in sever
atty and invest them with their full rights
under treaty obligations.

HARTFORD, Conn.,. Jan. 25.-Colonel ia.

Mutual Life Insurance Company, of this

Mr.. Moore has hitherto enjoyed the un.

the company during its forty-three years
existence. In an interview Mr.. Greene
said that Mr.. Moore was leading citizen

of loans on account of alleged financial
difficulties of the borrowers, who were
represented as affected by the depression
in real estate values dating from the
panic in 1873. He RENTED interest
and small payments of principal from
time to time in accordance with his repre-
sensations that the unfortunate borrowers
were struggling to do all they could.
These moneys came out of his
own pocket or rather out of his
stealings. He devised narrowing
tales and kept the company
infinitely advised of the progress of indi-

would really settle up one of these cases,
greatly to the satisfaction of the company

Abusing the Inmates.

CHICAGO, May IA bill was fled in, the
circuit court by number of prominent
citizens this morning asking for, the ap-
pointment Of q receiver for the house for

the managers Of the house from removing
the books. The bill further asks for the
removal Of President 81. N. Hig9inbotham
ana Caroline I. Barlow the matron of the
institution, from their positions for gross
violation Of the trust rep0sed in them. It
is claimed the helpless inmates have been
frightfully abused and tortured. Thirty
cases are cited, some of them too horrible
for telief. They are charged with causing
the death of some of the patients. The
ease promises to be one of the most noted
ever tried in Cook county. &
Mr.. HigginbOtham, president of the in
stitution, Is member Of the great dry
goods firm Of Marshal, Field e co. To q
reporter he said: "The truth Of the whole
matter is that the c0mplainants in the bill
do not know the difference between ne
cessary discipline and cruelty" sThat
isn't the whole Of it, however. There were
certain people who would like to run the
institution, but they were in the minority
and couldn't and consequently they bring
these charges Two years ago, these ladies
whose names are mentioned in the bill
brought charges Of cruelty and dishonesty
