Woman.s Relief CORPS in Session.

DETROIT. Mich, Aug. 5.-The Woman 5
Relief Corps, the national auxiliary to the
Grand Army of the Republic. opened their
ninth annual convention in this city today
The attendance was large and the reports
Of the various officers showed the order to be
IN tiOurishing condition. The convention
was called to order by the national Dresi-
dent, Mary Sears NcHeury, of Denison,
Iowa.
The opening address of the president was
devoted chiefly 10 the growth of the order
during the past year. The membership of
our ORDER said the president" has stead
lily increased i'll numbers and influence dur
ing the year, and il is represented in every
state in the Union but one. Alabama. and
all the territories except the Indian, Idaho
and Alaska. y most princely gil. is the
appropriation by the OHIO legislature of
$1,000 for the erection Of a cottage upon
the home ground. We asked for $500. aud
they gave US $4,000. This is the highest
recognition of the Womans Relief Corps
and its work that has ever been given, and
j. truly the crown of glory to this admins
tration, and OF all OF its future possibilities.
The reports Of the pension committee shows
that they still keep the needs of our army
nurses before congress. That they fail
year after year in their efforts 10 procure
pensions for those deserving women, Is 4
matter of dctD rcgrel to Us all, bat ! trust
that their eudcavurS VIII eventually be re-
Warde'i. There is no doubt tnat the mem
bcrs of congress appreciate the worth and
efficient work of these women, and that
hey are ready 10 Icgislate IN their behalf
whenever proper opportunity Is offered
them.
The day was principally consumed in the
discussion OF the reports Of The various Off

The lumbermen We're permitted on the
reaSSemblin~ of the commission to state
their grievances and complaint against the
proposed rates. which they did quite
specifically, several of them taking the floor
in order. The first of them to step to the
front WAS Mr. NJ T. Jones of Houston. an
owner OF extensive milling interests, who
said that thrce-fOurths of the lumber OF
Texas was milled south of Palestine, and
that il must be given rate, no matter by
what system, that will allow it 10
reach the bulk of the con-
Sumiug public, which was north of d
line drawn east and west through Pales
tine. y differential OF 81 or 81 per 1000 feet
would shut them out of their best market
and ruin them They have no foreign trade
to compensate the loss that must ensue. the
effort 10 find 4 foreign market having
proved an expensive failure.
Chairman Reagan said to the lumbermen
that their brethren of Northeast Texas rep
resented that they We're unable to compete
with the mills IN Southeast Texas, and
could not do so unless given, by a mileage
rate. the benefit of their proximity to the
North Texas market. Whatever action
the commission might take will, il the
statements made be correct.
DIsPLEAsE SOMEBODY.
Mir. Cleveland of Dallas took the floor to
urge a modification of the commission rul
ing requiring cotton to be located in the di-
rection of lis destination for COMPRISING.
He thought that within distances OF wen
ty-tive or thirty miles the roads should be
permitted to haul cotton to the nearest
congresses. whatever the direction, for the
purpose Of concentration
Senatorhimbrough attempted TO elucidate
the matter further and 10 explain how the
interest of the farmers is involved in the
speedy concentration of cotton for through
shipments at the nearest point.
Mr.. Cleveland said, to disabuse the minds
of the commissioners. that he was largely
interested in number of congresses
and that no railroad man had a
dollars worth of interest. directly
or indirectly, in any one of them. II was
economy in the roads to so local and con-
centrate cotton for nothing, and they should
be permitted to do so.
Chairman Reagan interrupted the discus
sion moment 10 read 4 telegram just re-
ceived from lumber dealers at Victoria,
heartily indorsing the equality of the pro-
posed lumber rate.
After further discussion the meeting ad-
iourned until tomorrow when the traffic
men will take another whirl at the commits
sion with the probable result of securing a
modification of the proposed rates on the
coWWedities mentioned.

all parties. The mastery which the COM
misslonerS have acquired over the traffic
question enables them 70 do this with COM
parative accuracy and very close approach
to what is right and fair. It is the sense Of
the commission that The rates on cotton are,
as Judge Reagan expressed IL yesterday to
the traffic men, high beyond all measure"
and that under the new schedule they will
still be higher than in other states. This.
the railroad men did not attempt to deny or
refute, but cOutented themselves with the
oft-reiterated assurance that existing rates
were necessary 10 make the traffic reason
ably profitable. There Will be some further
consultation with the tratiic men. ard per-
hapS some shippers, and thcu the rates Will
be agreed upon and promulgated.

New ORLEANS, La, Aug. 5.-It is now
evident hat the State Farmers Alliance III
session at Lafayette Will not favor the
Third party movement or put an Alliance
ticket in the field for the state election. \
minority of the farmers favored this. bnt
the president of the order and two other
delegates favored acting inside the Demo
cratic party. 1t is probable, however, that
the Alliance will formally suggest tho
name of its president, Capt. T. ). Adams,
for governor, subject tOthe approval Of the
Democratic state convention. The move
ment for Il third party was led by the state
Alliance lecturer. Guice. and supported by
the delegates from the northwestern
parishes. The farmers also resolved to
fight the lottery company and vote against
the extension of its charter, but refused to
approve the strong resolutions adopted by
some of the Alliance. declaring for revolu-
ton if necessary to drive the lottery COM
