WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.-We always know
here in Washington when spring has come
because of the announcement day after day
in the newspapers and from the pulpiis on
Sunday thnt in a few days the womcn's
suffrage convention will be held here. IA
regularly AS the seasons in their flight, Miss
Anthony and all her sisters who want 10
vote assemble here in Washington and hold
their week OF speech making and campaign
planning. Miss Anthony, who has Just
passed her SEVENTEEN mile stone, is one of
the famous figures here at the capital. Sit
ting on the stage in her famous old red
shawl. presiding over meetings yeur Rfier
year, she has made herself position both
unique and honorable in history. As Miss
Willard says. some day her statue will stand
in the capitol. 1t will be more fitting 10
have her sitting in an old arm chair clad in
that famous old red shawl. Nobody in
Washington who knows Miss Anthony
fails 10 respect and really admire her, and
everybody expects some time OF other TO see
her voting without fear or favor.

One Of the most exciting things OF the
past week in Washington has been the ap.
pearance here of a syndicate of California
capitalists hended 10y the son of ex-senator
Sharon, who have bought vest tracts of
suburban property at very high prices.
Enough land has been bought, ii cut up in.
To lots, TO plank down another city rs large,
IL not larger, than tho entire capital.
loung Sharon evidently has inherited his
fathefs faith in the future of Washington.
Twenty years ago Senator Sharon bought
largely in property in the northwestern part
of the city, NJ a time when everybody
thought he was making great fool Of him
self. because those patches and rocks and
mud-puddles could never be converted into
city. Now millions and millions of cnpi-
tai have been spent in fine houses, and that
is really the finest place in the whole United
States for people of wealth and social ad-
miration 10 make home. The recent pur-

Young Lincoln RaIlying.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-Master Abraham
Lincoln, son of Mr.. Robert Lincoln,
American minister, who it was thought
was dying last night, has rallied. The
abress from which he Is suffering was
lanced by his physicians during the
night, and much relief was afforded him
by the operation. His physicians state
his vitality is wonderful.
Inquiry at the residence of Mr.. Lin
coin at $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon,
elected the information that the patient
at that hour appeared to be further rally
ing.
At 1850 clock this afternoon the doc
tors announced that the only chance
Master Lincoln has for his life lies III an
other operation, which will be Of a
desperate character. It will be per-
formed in a short time.
An operation was performed which
greatly relieved the heart and lungs.
1t was pronounced that this operation,
because of the patients feeble condi-
ton, would be fatal, but 1t has
at least temporarily reversed the
hopeless condition of the patient.
Additional measures were taken this
afternoon to prevent dangerous accumu-
lation of pus. Another operation was
performed which afforded great relief to
the patient. Drain was inserted in the
affected part, and matter is now flowing
freely from it. Though Master Lincoln
is still in great danger, his physicians
and parents are not without hope
OF his recovery. In conse-
quence of an erroneous report
having been sent to the United States to
the effect that Mr.. Lincoln son was
dead, large number of cablegrams of
sympathy from the United States were
received to-day by Minister Lincoln. he
requests the Associated Press to express
his own and Mrs. LiucOln's appreciation
OF so much kind regard and good will.
Mr.. Lincoln 3 son is resting easily.
