WOMEN In COUNCIL.
Address Of Miss Frances Willard at The
Washington Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 - The triennial
council Of the women of the United States
opened at Albaughs Opera House this
evening. President Frances Wizards ad-
dress was the feature of tile opening ses-
sion. representative women were present
from all parts of the country.
Miss Willard, in her address, said differ
ence OF opinion on one question must not
prevent the women of America from work
ing unitedly on those on which they can
agree. They were engaged in an heroic
struggle to lift women from mere sexhoOd
up toward glorious womanhood, and to do
this for humanity'S sake was the problem
When every woman shall say to every other,
and every workman shall say to every
other, combine. the war dragon shall be
siam, the poverty viper eXterIninated, the
goidbug transliXed by Il silver pin, the sa-
loon drowned out, and the last white slave
liberated from the woods of Wisconsin and
bagnios of Chicago aud Washington.
Miss Willard spoke of the details of the
organization and favored the most complete
and extensive one possible-one that should
include and comprehend local councils in
every State, county, city, town and village
IN the land. Size reviewed the advance of
women and said these three years since the
last council have produced greater results
than the previous ten years.
Speaking of PaInell she said the chief sig
nificance of his presentdiscrowned state had
been but little emphasized yet; but to her
thinking the woman question has had no
triumph so signal in our generation. at is
not many years" she said, "since any man
of great gifts and splendid public achieve
mentS was, as man in his relation to
women, an entirely different personality,
with whom the public had nothing to do, no
matter how basely he might conduct himself,
This was because the estimate of woman
was so much beneath that which is now
held" A number of interesting papers were

luton will pass and committee will visit

tie thinks that it is an important matter for
the Coast States in a commercial way, as
the more attention given to Alaska, in his

also give the inhabitants better chance to
understand their surroundings and better
opportunities for extending business.

FLOURISHED A SHOTGUN.

George WOIcott Arrested on the Com
plaint of His Stepfather.
On Tuesday A. V. Thompson of 1903
Twenty-fourth street was arrested on the
complaint of his wife and charged with
failure to provide. Last night his stepson
was also arrested, the charge made against
him at the Seventeenth-stree Police Sta
tion being that he exhibited a deadly
weapon in a rude, threatening and angry
manner.
1t seems that for some months Thompson
has been leading dissolute life, his money
being spent in questionable modes, and his
wife and children being neglected TO the ex-
tent that they want even the bare neces-
saries OF life At last, weary with his con-
slant neglect. she swore out the stated COM
plaint and Thompson was ANONYMOUSLY
hauled out of the rooms of q Mission fra
ternal lodge, where he was in attendance
upon a meotlng.
On depositing $40 bail he was released,
but his arrest only served to heighien his
surly tsmper, and yesterday he went SC far
as to strike his wife. On returning home
from trip on bakers delivery-wagon the
step-son, George Woleott by name, found
toxicated, he took a shotgun and proceeded
to where his Step-parent was at work on a
house on Elizabeth and Noe streets. There
he made hostile demonstrations which lead
to his arrest as stated.
He denies having made any attempt to at
tack his father, the firearm being unloaded,
but says that the latter appealed 10 his fell
low-workmen TO disarn him while he pro-
ceeded to administer sound thrasling to
the wayward boy. He dasn't tackle me
himself" added the prisoner through tue
bars of his cage.

The QUEENS DRAW G-ROOM.
Its Date Gives 0GenSG 10 NtmberS Of the
Diplomatic Corps.

New YORK, Feb. 23.-In his London let.
ter 10 the Tribune Edmund Yates says:
The Queen has given wide offensc by fixing
the first drawing-room for Wednesday in
lent, and some Of the members OF the diplo-
matte corps are as irate as they were few
years ago when, upon a certain occasion,
formal notifications were issued from the
Foreign Office that the Queen would then
receive the members of the diplomatic corps,
male and female. 1t is now pointed out
that attendance at the first drawing groom is
practically obligatory on the part of the
diplomatic corps, and the Ministers who are
Catholics, or high churchmen. object most
strongly to paricpatiug in court luncheon
anomaly. there is special lental
service in the Chapel Royal on
the morning of the drawing-room. 1t is
wholly impossible to understand how it
comes about, that nobody at court has inter-
Tered IN order to prevent such maladrot
arrangement as the fixing of one Of the
drawing-rooms for Wednesday and the
other for Friday.
The Queen will take large number Of
servants 10 Grasse, including her Indian
domestics, but only a small suite will 90 to
the hotel. which is large barrack-like
structure, which was built only a few years
ago. 1t will accommodate the whole royal
party Including all the servants. Baroness
Alice de Rothschid, whose villa is the next
house to the hotel, bas placed her beautiful
gardens, which are the great sight at
Grasse. at the Queens disposal. The
country for miles around Grasse is solely
devoted to the cultivation of flowers.
Neither the advice of candid friends nor
OF the Chief OF Police would persuade the
Duke of Orleans, vino has registered as the
Count of Nevers, to quit st. Petersburg.
where he has been every night the observed
OF all observers at the opera. The story of
the Duke Of Orleans being refused a place
which he wished TO book as the Coun iof
Nevers is q fiction.

the victims of the terrible disaster were
found alive this afternoon. They were all
Hungarians. How they survived is a
miracle. Nothing like it has been known

who was stronger than the others, was
taken up to the engine-hOuse. Doctors
were at once summoned, and large stock
of blankets taken down with them to the
other four men. Careful nursing will be
given them. and every effort put forth to
save their lives. The searchers say that
their attention was attracted about 9
O'Clock by slight tapping on the walls,
and. working in that direction, they finally
came upon the men. John Tomakusky had
been endeavoring to make himself heard,
and, in faint voice, informed them that he
and the Others were almost dead from
hunger and cold. 1t was not long before
tie men were reached.
iona Husky, when partially revived, said
the contents of their dinner-pails kept them
alive for six days. Then they lived on the
oil from their lamps aud bottles. After that
was exhausted they drank dark, sulphurous
water. The announcement of the finding
of the men was kept as quiet as possible,

Opinion Of the Marquis Of Lorne
on the Situation.
ihs Dominion Hill Remain Loyal to Great
Britain.
Sir John MaCdOnald'S Attempt 10 Establish
Reciprocity Relations With the United
States Approved.
srecial to THE MORNING CALL

LONDON, Feb. 23.-In an article in the
Graphic on the Canadian crisis the Marquis
of LOrne says: "The annexation scare is
useful TO bring home to our minds the fact
that the colonies are practically independ-
ent nations" he, however. ridicules the
idea that Canada desires to barter her po-
litieal independence for the Government
Of the Stars and Stripes"
Whatever may be the result of the COM
ing election. the Marquis says, free trade in
Canada is impossible. All a possible
change will mean is either few per cen
decrease in the tariff, or, if Canada Joins a
Zollverein with the United States, an in
crease of tariff in conjunction with the
United States against Great Britain. In
conclusion the Marquis says: "If the United
States wants more it and Canada must be
content to wait until the engulfng policy
of Mr. Blaine has run its course like other
delusions. So long as Great Britain remains
true Canada will remain loyal"
The News says that Upper, before his
departure for Canada, received assurances
that the Imperial Government approved Sir
John Macdonald's attempt TO establish re-
ciprocity with the United States
MONTREAL, Feb. 23.-lt is stated on the
best of authority that the priests of the
Province of Cdebec have received conf
dental instructions to use all their influence
TO secure a victory for Sir John Macdonald
in the present election contest. The church
Is opposed to any policy that will lead to
greater intercourse between the United
States and Canada, as it fears diminution
Of its power from such an arrangement.
Archbishop Fabre in a circular letter to the
clergy, says: Beneath the British flag,
which protects rather than dominates, we
enjoy the most precious liberty, sanctioned
by solemn treaties, and which preserves to
us intact our laws, our institutions, our
language and above all our religion, in re-
turn for those sentiments and acts of per-
feet loyalty which you have never ceased to
offer upon each and every occasion"
