WOman's National Council.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-At this mornings
session of the Woman's National council,
the ''matriarchate, or "motherage," pa
per prepared by Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
was read by Susan B. Anthony.
''Gains of the Last Three Years. was
the subject of paper by Mary Seymour
Howell. She spoke of what was doing in
various states for the political enfranchise-
ment of women.
Miss Julia Ward Howe spoke on "Rela-
ton OF the Woman Suffrage Movement to
Other Modern Reforms: She said, in part:
i DO not mean to say the appearance of
women in the political arena is going to
right every wrong, but it will do much.
Look at the anomalous condition of things.
Here are women ministers. They can
preach of sin and vice in the world, but
cannot use the ballot to suppress them.
Women lawyers have no power to enforce
the law. We are marching toward better
state of affairs. The old gospel said: Re
pent, for hell is before you, but the new
one says, Repent, for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand"
At the afternoon session, Mary F. Sey-
mour, editor of the Business Woman's Jour
nal, read an able paper on Occupation of
Women to Date.n She said fifty years ago
there were only seven occupations acces-
sible to women; to day they are engaged in
over three hundred. Every profession has
thrown open its doors to women In fact.
they are now eligible to almost every en-
ployment in which men are engaged, and
in addition to these many others peculiar
to their sex. BY sheer worthiness alone
have women earned every inch of space in
the industrial world which they occupy to-
day.
At the evening and closing session
number of papers were read, including an
interesting one by President Bertha
Honora Palmer, of the board of lady mana
gers of the Worlds Columbian exposition.
She spoke of what the board proposed to do
at the Worlds fair, telling about the
women's building to be erected upon the
plans designed by women what they
to place in it, etc. She dwelt on the fact
| that this is the first time in our history that
the mothers, wives and daughters of Amer
lea have been permitted to assist in
the management of an important national
enterprise and allowed the high but de-
moralizing privilege of slipping their
fingers into the national purse in order tina,
they might prove lessons showing the pro
gress of woman during the century. On
behalf of the board of lady managers, she
urged and requested that each organization
represented at the council appoint COM
mittee to consider the work the board is
trying to do for the sex at the fair and pre-
sent at an early day their suggestions anG
| advice.

houses were ruined. An American named
Gus Lee was drowned, but no other loss of
life is reported. Railroad and telegraph

New YORK, Feb. 25-In the Fayer-
weather will contest to-day Henry D.
Vaughan said he, Thomas G. Ritch and
Justus Buckley had joined in an instrument
relinquishing any claim to the residuary
estate. AS it was considered to be worth
from million to a million and half to

of their action is apparent. 1t knocks the
bottom out of the main purpose of the con-
test. BY the will standing, instead of the
codicils Ritch and Bulkley will receive the

Beatty Working Like a Beaver.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-[ Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD. The indications
to-day are that the Judiciary committee
viii make favorable report upon Beatty S
nomination. II this be true, Beatty deserves
high praise When he came to Washing
ton week ago he found the committee
solidly against him. They had been told
that he was thoroughly bad lot; that he
was unprinciped, incompetent and cor
rupt, and that his confirmation would be
an insult to the people of Idaho. No one can
understand what terrible handicap this
was who is ignorant of the personnel of the
committee. 1t is headed by Edmunds, of
Vermont, who is one of the straightest OF
straight-laced mortals when it comes to a
matter of this character. Then his associ-
ates on the committee -Ingalls, Hoar
Evarts. Pugh, Coke and George - are
equally punctillious. To satisfy these
gentlemen that the charges are unfounded
and that an injustice had been done to him
was no easy matter. am not sure that he
has succeeded, for none of the committee
will indicate their action in the premises.
But, if he has done so, he deserves to be
confirmed, as he undoubtedly will be should
they report in his favor.

Beatty's case to-day. Shoup is a manly

Republican applause. The resolution

The immigration bill was then taken up,
the pending question being on Oates sub
stitute which was rejected. The bill was
passed.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the agricultural appropria
ton bill. In the course of general debate
Funston, of Kansas, in charge of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, and Butter
worth, of Ohio, had tilt when Funston
said if Butterworth had taken as much
time to forwarding his anticipation bill as
he had to drawing his salary as secretary
of the Worlds fair directory, the measure
would have been passed.
Butterworth charged Funston, as chair
man of the committee on agriculture, with
neglecting the interests of the farmers.
Mr.. Funston had not moved the introduce
ton or consideration OF the anti option bill,
but had stood trembling like an aspen leaf
under the frown of the speaker.
Hatch, of Missouri, deplored the con-
dition of the farmers. He made speech
In favor of free coinage and reduction of
taxation, and criticised the majority OF the
committee on agriculture for not acting on
the anticipation bill. He denounced the Re
publlcans for throttling great national
measures. Cannon having suggested they
could pass the anti-option bill next sesaion,
Hatch retorted they would pass it next SEES
sion and every other bill that is constitu-
tional and demanded by the people. After
considerable further debate the committee
rose without disposing OF the bill.

Bellevue. Idaho, is Indignant.

BELLEVUE, Idaho, Feb. 25.-[Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. The legislature
has left the Canon county bill, segregating
portion of Ada county, to the vote of the
people, as provided by the state constltu-
ton. Logan county folks can't understand
why the bill dividing Logan county and
giving twenty mile strip to Alturas was
not likewise left to the vote of the people.
There is much indignation in Bellevue be-
cause of the plain discrimination against
