More Consideration.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-At the final
business session of the board of National
Council of Women there were present

sentatives of twelve associations now
duly entered in the council lists. The
board considered unfinished business
and passed the following resolutions:
Resolved. First--That the National Council
of Women of the United States send a memo
rial to the clergymen of the Methodist Epis-
copal church asking, inasmuch as 81 per cent
OF the membership of that denomination has
ALREADY by formal ballot expressed desire

ference, that the clergy shall in accordance
with the will Of the laity, grant the admission
of women 10 that body;

Fourth-That the National Council of
Women shall present to the proper authorities
a formal request that in all departments of
ployes equal wages for equal work and that
both IN engaging and promoting its en-
ployes it shall consider efficiency and not sex.
and thus set standard for the country.
Fifth-That, inasmuch as the Columbian
exposition of 1893 will afford an exceptional
opportunity for conyening representatives of
all countries, the officers of the National
Council shall invite the officers of the Inter
national Council of Women, Millicent Garrett
Fawcett, president, to hold its first meeting

SHERMAN AND LEE.
Ex-President Hayes Compares the
Great Commanders.

FREMONT, O., March Memorial
services were held here to-day for Gen.
Sherman and Admiral Porter. The
affair" was under the direction of
the G. A. r. posts. and Gen. Hayes
was the principal speaker. In speaking
OF Sherman as the greatest commander,
Gen. Hayes said: The only compari-
son of value that | choose to offer comes
from abroad. We hear in regard to
Sherman from the French generals
nothing but praise: from the German
generals the same; from the English,
Gen. WolSeley speaks of him in
terms that are altogether compli-
mentary. Says WOOlsely, however, Lee
was great general. and next to him
was Sherman, / would change the
order. l admit for Lee a great char
acter, accomplishments as soldier and
a man, praise in every way except his
unfortunate lack of wisdom. | do
not now speak of motives, but at
least for military genius. Who was
Lee where Sherman was. Place Sher-
man where Lee was. Place Lee at
Chattanooga. Even with Sherman's
army, would he have found his wav to
Atlanta, and, at Atlanta, cut loose from
his base of supplies and entered upon
the wild march for the sea 800 miles
away? l believe no man lacking the
genius OF Sherman would have ventured
| on that march to the sea. But come
nearer home. Lee had the same oppOr-
tunity, only it was ten times better than
that Sherman had at Atlanta. Suppose
Sherman had been in command of the
army of Lee. Washington at that
time lay completely in the
power of an enterprising and
daring commander, and with Washing
ton captured Intervention from abroad
| would have come. / don't predict final
defeat, for throughout that action the
finger of God was present guiding and
directing. l cannot believe that under
any circumstances the cause of liberty
and union could have failed, but
at Washington was the chance of
victory and Lee failed to take it. More
than that. he went to the Potomac,
| crossed 1t, and our disorganiZed army,
without commander, being divided be,
tween Pope and Mcclellan, was ten
days behind him, and he marched on
into Pennsylvania, and what did he do,
and what would Sherman have done?
Lee did not care to lose communica-
| ton with his base of supplies and
was driven back from Antietam.
Had Sherman been at the head of that
army, and that distance between him
| and the pursuing forces, he would have
gone to Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Buffalo,
Cleveland, Cincinnati. and then cut his
road back into Virginia A little band
of q, 4,000men under Morgan went through
Ohio and Indiana, and Lee, with his
great army, with nothing before him
but wealth and supplies and cities able
to pay tribute for not being burned. is
not to be compared with Sherman"

Thousands Of Arizona People
Forced to Climb to Save
Their Lives.
Many Become Benumbed and
Exhausted and Drop to
Death in the Water.
It Is Feared That at Least One
Hundred People Are
Drowned.
Yuma in Ruins Losses
Foot Up Over Two
Millions.

YUMA, Ariz., March 1.-Over twenty
five houses are in ruins from the food,
1,4O0 people are homeless and not
single business house remains standing.
and it is feared that hundreds of lives
have been lost in the ella valley. The
telegraph wires are down in the valley,
and, as all bridges are gone and roads
insurpassable, no reliable reports can
be had from there. The river above the
town is seven miles wide, and below
the town in places the water covers the
country in one grand lake over fifty
miles across. The railroad company
will not have the blockade raised
for west-bound trains for four days,
and it will be ten days or two
weeks before they can get east. The town
has provisions sufficient fol eight more
days, and the Southern Pacific hotel is
feeding thousand people a day. Re-
ports from JaquanO, fifteen miles above
here, are to the effect that the flood
drove the people into the tree tops, and,
many becoming exhausted from cold
and hunger, dropped into the water and
were drowned. Reports from reliable
from thirty up to hundred. All along
the valley for twenty miles everything
is in desolatiOn. Costly houses and barns
have been washed away like playthings,
while stock and fences have been carried
down by the flood, leaving the country
as bare as desert. Men who ten days
ago were wealthy are now homeless and
paupers. Eight miles south of here,
where 5000 Indians live. the country IS
flooded for eighty miles square, and as
there are no hills for refuge it is re-
ported that over 100 of them have been
drowned. The great valley of the Colo
RADIO is. one vast sea of water as tar as
the eye can see in every direction. The
river has fallen six feet six inches in
thirty-slX hours. and is now nearly at
standstill. The weather is thick and
threatens heavy rains. The loss in this
county foots up over s2,OOO,OOO of
which the railroad will have to suffer to
the extent of S250,O0O. Old Yuma will
never be rebuilt. The town will 20

This leyee will require constant work
until decline sets in, and the utmost
watchfulness will be necessary to save
It.
GREENvILLE, Miss, March 1.-The
Mississippi at this point continues to
rise steadily, and will. 1t is expected.
within the next few days attain a
heighth within two feet Of its maximum
of1ast year. This condition will create
a tremendous strain on the levees,
many of which are new and un-
tried. On the great part of the levees,
for want of funds, no work has been
done, consequently the levees furnish
no greater barriers to the fl than at
the close of last years ovc.-.Jw. The
people of the lower Mississippi valley
have exhausted all their available
funds in filling up creases caused by
last years flood. and are now without
necessary funds to continue the work.

The desire of the people of Cuba,'
4he report says. respectfully the sugar
and tobacco planters and manufacturers,
to promote their commercial relations
with the United States amounts to anX-
lety; and L smay also mention in this
connection a matter of news | learned at

organizations of the republic of San
Domingo have raised a purse to pay the
salary ana expenses OF an envoy to be
sent by the government TO WashingtoE
for the purpose of negotiating a reci-
procity treaty with the United States.
A similar spirit pervades the entire
group of West Indian colonies, and will,
L am sure, stimulate their representa-
tion at the exposition"
