WOMEN WAGE A WAR.

Discontinued Suffragists Speak Their Minds
at a Lively Meeting-The New England
Society Denounced as a Sham by One OF
the Leading Members.
BOSTON, May "a. - Especial. - The
Women Sufragists have been unceremoni.
ously hustled out of the Legislature this
year and this fact resulted in lively row at
the annual meeting of the New England
Woman's Suffrage Association to-day. One
faction thought that the officials had been
negligent and the leader of the discon-
tented ones, Mrs Ellen B. Dietrick,
boldly declared that the New England So
eiety was a sham and that Massachusetts,
had just completed year of failures.
Nothing has been done, she said, in the
line of practical work.
Mrs. Lucy Stone, who presided, objected
to the statements and started to say so
when Mrs. Blackwell declared that she
wanted the floor. Mrs. Blackwell only
wanted to make a statement, but she had to
give way. As soon as she had taken her
seat after defending the society, Mrs.
Dietrich rose again, but Mrs Blackwell
tried to shut her off by calling for regular
business. Others took the floor, but Mrs.
Dietrich managed to get in word now and
then.
''The New England Association is bank
rupt," calculated Mrs. Dietrick.
'T'm paying its bills" shouted DR..
Blackwell, 'and am giving 100 cents on the
dollar"
So the matter was continued despite the
efforts of the officers to bottle it up, until
finally semi-harmonious feeling was Sc
cured by a cry for toleration.

POLK'S WILL INVALID.

He Created a Perpetuity Which Could Not
Be Maintained Under the Law-His
Home Cannot Be Held Forever in Trust
by the State of Tennessee.
NASHVILLE, TENN, May 24-[Special ]
To-day Chancellor Allison set aside the
clause in the will of President James K.
Polk, by which Mr. Polk conveyed Polk
place, where both he and his wife are
buried, in trust to the State of Tennessee.
The Polk place is in the central portion of
Nashville, and is valued at $4,000.
Mr. Polk died June Is, 1849, without
children. His widow passed away some
months ago. The will was written with his
own hand in the Executive Mansion at
Washington when Mr.. Polk was President.
The will states that 1t was the desire of
himself and wife that the Polk place
should never pass into the hands of strang-
ers, and sto prevent such contingency" it
was conveyed to the State, that the worthy
of his name and blood might occupy 1t from
generation to generation. The will also
expresses the wish of the testator and his
wife that their tomb might be at Polk
place; that it should not be removed there
from and no building or other improvement
should be erected over said tomb. The will
further provides for the tomb to be kept in
repair forever by the tenant as small re-
turn for the privilege of being permitted to
occupy the home of his illustrious relative.
These three are the leading ideas of the
will. and they are all to go on forever.
After Mrs. Polk's death, the heirs at law
of MI. Polk filed bill to have Mr. Polk's
will construed. The heirs at law main
tanned that the foregoing devise and intrust
to the State were void, because it creates q
perpetuity, establishes house of nobility
and secures through the instrumentality of
the State succession of persons related
in blood privileges and honors inconsistent
with the laws Of the State.
Chancellor Allison concludes his opinion
as follows: GAS no one of the different in
tentions of the testator could be carried out
without maintaining a perpetuity, the
whole will must be set aside so far as con-
Germs Polk place and that property turned
over to his heirs at law"

CONGRESSMEN IN CAUCUS.

They Agree to Give tho Appropriation
Bills a Free Right OF Way In the House
Preparing to Adjourn at rs Early a
Date as Il Practicable.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 4-Demo-
Gratis of the House met in caucus tonight
for the purpose of considering the "order of
business" The result was decision to put
the appropriation bills ahead of everything
else and prepare for an adjournment of
Congress as early as practicable. There
was an unusually large attendance, nearly
every member in the city being present.
Mr. Hatch, in the interest of the anti-options
bill, fought the motion to give the appro-
priation bills precedence with vigor and
vehemence, but was outvoted by large
majority. He has not given up the fight,
however, and it is is very like
Es with the oppl opPofe % the House %he
was held in response to call circulated to-
day by Mr.. McMillin, Tennessee.
Soon after the caucus met, Mr.. McMillin,
of Tennessee, offered a resolution providing
that precedence should be given the regular
annual appropriation bills over all other
bills Mr.. Hatch, in a live speech which
created some ill-feeling, opposed the resolu-
tion. The river and harbor bill was
brought into the discussion, and the caucus
got into parliamentary tangle over an
amendment to the McMillin resolution Of
tered by Mr.. Clark, of Alabama, providing
that the riuer and harbor bill should be
included among the regular annual appro-
priation bills having precedence over other
measures The resolution to give the ap-
preparation bills free right of way finally
passed by large majority.
Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, offered a
resolution directing the Committee on Rules
to report rule providing that whenever a
member asks unanimous consent for the
passage of any bill it shall be granted unless
ten members object The object of the
resolution was to put an obstacle in the way
of objectors Watson and Kilgore. Opposi-
tion developed to the resolution on the
ground that it would make possible the
measures which there might be good reasons
to keep in the background, and it was lost.
The caucus then adjourned.

Killed After Big Hunt Is Organized.
boy, who resides near the Zoo" was pass.
ing along the Pierce Mill road early this
morning, there appeared at the brow of the
hill he was climbing grizzly bear. 1t had
escaped only short time before from the
Zoo. To say that the boy fled is putting it
mildly. He flew, and although he says
''Der bar chased him foah miles" the
keepers at the Zoo think he was too badly
frightened to know exactly what happened
The escaped bear was about three years old.
Last September 1t was caught in the Vel
lowstone Park, and the Superintendent of
the Park sent it here to the Zoo.
Soon after davbreak word of the animals
escape spread through the country and
caused a feeling of uneasiness, especially to
those persons who had to send their children
to school. Farmers who heard the news,
started out to see that their cattle were pro-
tected and at almost every house through
the country where the news was known the
doors and windows were kept closed for
fear that the animal might appear at the
wrong time aud play havoc with the people
as well as with the stock. About II o'clock
posse stdrteu III pursuit OF Druln MessrS.
Craner, of Rock Creek Park, and Cramer,
of the Zoo Park, were mounted, while
Messrs. Coyle and Houghton, citizens, were
also In the party. Farmer Routt was armed
with breech loading gun.
DR.. Baker arrived shortly after and al
most every 600" employe joined In the
pursuit They were armed with pick han
dies, pitchforks and stones, while some car
ried pistols. After tracking the bear
short distance in the direction of Pierce's
Mill, they returned across the road into
the Park, where they found his track.
The pursuing party steadily increased until
about a score of men armed with various
weapons were following the bear. Shortly
after IL o'clock bruin crossed the road in
the rear of the Zoo Park, and for more than
an hour he was kept in sight Mr.. Louis
Hess, carpenter in the grounds, and Mr.
Hunter and another man had him sur
rounded at one time, and then for the first
time the animal showed fight. He attacked
Hess and might have killed him had not
Hunter beat him off with club. The bear
then made a wild dash for the woods. He
turned again on his pursuers shortly, and
the latter leveled their guns and fred.
Superintendent Blackburn got in two loads
of shot in the animals side, and Farmer
Routt put in an effective shot and bruin
rolled over dead.

POLICE SET AT NAUGHL.

New Orleans Strikers Prevent the Street
Cars From Running.
NEW ORLEANS, May A-[ Special ]-Only
few of the street cars were running to-day,
although the Mayor had large force of
police on hand to assist. There were from
to 10 policemen to each car, but despite
their number, the tracks were covered, the
cars thrown from the tracks, and in some
cases the non-union drivers beaten.
The Mayor swore in number of extra
policemen, including leading members of
the Stock and Cotton Exchanges, but al
though there was full police protection, the
cars did not run, as 1t was i'm possible to get
men to take the risk. A general strike is
threatened by several of the labor organize
tions.

against the Sunday paper can consistently
be made on religious grounds. The only
reasonable argument is that the newspaper
workers should have one days rest in seven,
but 1 understand that Is provided for.
Those who insist that the day of rest should
be Sunday are clearly mistaken in attack
ing the Sunday paper, as am sufficiently
well acquainted with the newspaper busi-
ness to know that it is the issue of Monday
morning which requires the real Sunday
work.
MAY Be Blessing In Disguiss.
"On the principle that the best way to
secure the repeal of the obnoxious law Is to
enforce it," continued Mr.. Vail, 1.-THE
present tactics Of the Pittsburg Law and
Order agents may be blessing in disguise.
The law under which newspapers and drug
gists have been prosecuted is certainly ap-
plicable equally to the streets and steam
railways, and even the telegraph and tele-
phone. Perhaps the Pittsburg organiza-
tion will move on these institutions next;
but we certainly have no idea of doing so. :"
what did the Pittsburg Law and Order
Society do before the last license tribunal
In the line of remonstrances and assistance
to the court?" asked Secretary D. Clarence
Gibbony, of the Philadelphia society.
When informed that the work of that de-
scription was confined to dozen or so re-
monstrances filed by Agent Mcclure against
applicants in his own township, he said:
'sThere is great difference between the
Pittsburg methods and ours We work
openly, and at the last License Court filed
about 1, 700 remonstrances against applica-
tions which we regarded as unnecessary or
of an improper character. We work In
active harmony with the regular authorities
and have frequently been commended by
them"
Folly OF McClure's Crusade.
''Such utter foolishness as an attack on
the Sunday papers has never even been sug-
gested during my connection with the Phil
adelphia Law and Order Society,"" con-
tinued Secretary Gibbony. 81 am certain
that large majority of our membership
would emphatically disapprove of any such
wild scheme believe the Pittsburg move
ment can hardly fail to have a reactionary
and harmful effect, and I confidently expect
its ultimate defeat"
The assurances of the officers of the Phila-
deiphia Law and Order Society as to its
sane and conservative course are hardly
necessary when an inspection is made of
the roll of Vice Presidents and members of
the Executive Committee. The list
includes such well-known names as
Treasurer Henry c. Bower, Rev. w. N.
McVickar, D. D., Harold Goodwin, John
Y. Huber, Charles Perrine and host of
others of equal prominence. At the last
public meeting held under the auspices of
the society few weeks ago, Hon. John
Field, postmaster of Philadelphia, presided,
and an address was made by a well-known
Congressman. Imagine, if you can, a SINH
lar occurrence in Pittsburg, under the di-
rection of Agent Mcclure

the question of extending aid to theological
students, as presented in the report OF the
Committee on Education, after being dis
cussed at length, was postponed.
The report of the special Committee on
the Sabbath strongly urged more strict OBJ
servance of the day, condemned attending
places of amusement, travel, reading world
ly literature and all secular pursuits upon
the Lords Day. Upon the proposed OPEN
ing of the Worlds Fair on Sunday it takes
high ground, entering an earnest protest.
Many overtures received prayed that Con-
gress be asked to make it a condition of any
grant of funds to the Exposition that open
ing on the Sabbath be prohibited. The re-
port was adopted by large majority.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 24.-[Special. 1T
is announced that Vice Presidential boom
for Congressman W. D. Bynum has been
launched by preeoncerted effort from Wash
ington. Some of the warm friends of Gray
are cruel enough to believe that Bynum's
candidacy has been announced for the sole
purpose of destroying whatever chance for
a nomination Gray may have had.
It is not improbable that the candidacy
of Bynum will bring on a considerable
quarrel in the party in this State, and
may, many think. injure Bynum's chances
for reelection. Many Democrats in this
city express regret to-day that Bynum has
allowed himself to be drawn into the race
They say the party is sufficiently demor-
allied in Indiana now. The delegation will
go to the convention divided into three, if
not more, factions.
