me BLAINE restImonIaI.

NEW YoRK, March A testimonial to
James G. Blaine from the leading wholesale
merchants in the dry goods, bagging and
leather trades in the city, has now been
signed by firms representing over $50 OOO,-
OOO invested in actual business.
The signers strongly iHdOrse and support
Mr.. Blaine's policy for commercial reciprOc-
lty between the United States and South
American countries, and express the hope
that the movement, which has begun so
auspiciously by the treaty with Brazil, will
soon be extended to other nations.
The document is a remarkable one from
the fact that the signers represent every shade
of political opinion, many who have been
strongly opposed to Mr.. Blaine being among
the number.
They believe that the movement of reci-
prOcity is entirely above and beyond party
measure, and that it is one of the most i'm
pOrtant movements for the welfare of the
country that have been started in many
years.
Following is the testimonial:
To the Hon. James G. Blaine, secretary
of state, Washington, d. c.; The under
signed, wholesale dry goods merchants, ex-
porters, and others of the city of New York
IRRESPECTIVE of party, desire to express
their appreciation of your action in the mat
ter of reciprocity with Brazil. and trust that
the wise and far-seeing policy thus inaugu-
rated, may be extended to other South Amer
lean nations, thus materially increasing the
commercial prosperity of the United States.
Appended to the testimonials are the sigma
lures OF 13S prominent wholesale dry goods
bagging and leather firms

The KaIser,s Wratb

BERLIN, March 4--The emperor's wrath
at the failure of the visit of Empress Fred
erick to Paris to establish in some soft good
feeling between Germany and France, has
fallen upon both Chancellor Won CapriVi
and Count Won Munster, the German en-
bassador at Paris. upon the former for ad-
vlsing the trying of the experiment. and
upon the latter for asserting to the empress
prolonged stay.
NJ. Herbette, probably under instructions
from the French foreign minister, requested
an audience with the emperor TO express his
personal regrets at the treatment the En-
press Frederick received at Paris. The en-
peror replied that unless NJ. Herbette had an
official communication to offer he need not
trouble himself to have an audience. The
character OF the response is interpreted in
oIncial quarters as pointing to the emperOr's
determination to obtain from the French
government some form of satisfaction for
the treatment accorded his mother.

Judge cooIevsa Views.

WASHINGTON. D. c., March at the con-
vention of state railroad commissioners
Judge Cooley. of the interstate commerce
commission, made the principal address.
Referring to the railroad problem, the speaker
said: I'VE distinctly indicate the main
source of difficulty when we place our finger
upon the power, 1t exists now, to make
and unmake the rates for passenger and
freight transportation. So long as 500 bodies
of men IN the country are at liberty to make
rate sheets at their leisure and to unmaks or
to cut and recut them in every direction at
their own unlimited discretion or want of
discretion. and with little restraint on the
part of the laws, except as it imposes a few
days delay in putting changes in force, the
problem will remain to trouble Us, the mere
existence of the power making losses, diEor-
der and confusion constantly imminent. The
power of the public authorities to correct the
abuses. he said. might really be regarded as
too Insignificant to be spoken of as possess
ing substantial value"

MONTREAL, March Am independent esti-
mate of the vote gives the government a
majority of from % to 30, despite what the
government organs may say. 1t is deeply
disappointing to the party. The most i'm
portant fact revealed by the vote, Is that the
annexation cry is not SO unpopular in Can
ada as supposed; that closer trade relations
with the United States are inevitable, and
that the liberals will be returned to power at
the next general election. All the prominent
liberal leaders were reelected, including
Messrs. Laurier, Cartwright, Mills and
Charlton.
ToRoNro.-The liberals are greatly encour-
aged by the showing they made in the cleo
ton and confidently assert that Sir John can
not carry on the government with his major
ity, and will, ere long, be forced to make
another appeal TO the country, when they
expect to overcome his present small major
ity and defeat him.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary Blaine said
he had nothing to say with regard to the
Canadian election, except that there seemed
to be an Impression IN some quarters that
the presidents cabinet was interested in the
election. As a matter of fact. he said the
administration is utterly Indifferent as to
the result.

SPzsoFrELD, Ill. March e.-An interest
ing petition has reached the members of the
Illinois general assembly.
1t Is signed By some of the best known of
Chicago's society ladies. and is a protest
against the bill extending municipal suffrage
TO women. and denouncing as false and per-
nicious all attempts TO secure legislation in
that direction.
Among the eigners are Mrs. ]. G. Odell,
the wife of a well known broker; Mrs. Caro-
line COrbin, wife of Lieutenant Colonel Cor
bin. United States army; Mrs. Elizabeth
Gary, wife of Judge Gary; Mrs. E. F. Griggs.
Mrs. CorneIia McAvery. Mrs. George w.
Smith, Frances 7. Higgins and Isabella A.
Gait.
The following extracts ere taken from the
petition: BUSY in the cares Of the home,
women find neither the time. strength or in
clination to enter the arena and defend them
selves against the dOings which they earn
estly believe 10 be pernlclous and destruction
Of the true power and influence of women in
their home"
I'VE regard the question of property rights
as OF comparatively minor importance as
compared with the vastly greater right of
women in general to maintenance and pro-
tectlOn in the home. while they are er gagged
IN the absorbing Offices and duties of woman
hood And this paramount right of woman
- threatened with entire ueSEEucllOu Dy the
socialistic doctrines above cited. We want
you to remember that above all human laws
stand these great natural laws, laws inherent
IN the universe. which no man. or body of
men can contravene and that these laws have
forever established difference between the
powers and privileges of the sexes, to disre-
gard which Is to invoke the penalties by
which they are relentlessly enforced. And
We believe no greater misfortune can attend
the farIn-iabOr party of this country in the
attempts to secure legislation in the interest
of the farmer, artisan and lahOrer, than it
should esDouse the false and pernicious doc
trine Of the political rights OF women"
In conclusion the ladies say that they have
held council with the women IN ali parts of
the state, and feel sure that the petition rep
resents the wishes of an overwhelming ma
jority of the women of Illinois.

ErstwhIIe Auditor Of kansas.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, March THE race
problem is assuming serious phase in Okla
homa territory.
When the territory was thrown open to
settlement q large number of negroes settled
in Guthrie, but their presence excited no
serious remOnstrance. During the last six
weeks, however, negroes from the south have
hocked into the territory by hundreds, in
response to a glittering prospectus which has
been scattered broadcast in communities set
tied by the blacks.
The main mover in this colonization
scheme is said to be E p. McCabe, ex-state
auditor of Kansas. One hundred and sixty
acres of land was purchased eight miles
from Guthrie and a mythical town laid out
and glowing descriptions of .'Langston City,
were circulated throughout the south by paid
agents, generally by negro preachers. and
the ignorant negroes have invested their saw
ings IN the promised land.
The condition of the negroes who have
come here through these representations is
most pitiful. They are IN utter restitution,
and the recent cold weather has been very
hard on them. But the worst feature, and
the one that has reused the Guthrie news
papers, is the fact that they have brought the
smallpox with them.
The condition of the unfortunate blacks is
deplorable in the extreme.
