THE press Of the State generally is dis
cussing the phase of the woman question

nearly all misconceive our proposition.
For instance, they present the debate
under this head, ''Shall She Marry or
Shall She Work." We object to this dis

The dispatches announce that the Sia-
nIese Government earnestly desires peace,
and communicates to the French its will
ingness to arbitrate or to concede all that
France asks, except the cession of the
whole of the Mekong strip. But the
French Government is urging Carnot on
to war; nothing but buckets Of blood and
the roar of French artillery will satisfy
these newspaper warriors, while the
party of conquest is intolerant of delay
and howls about the War Department
demanding that the fighting. begin. All
which emphasizes the belief already ex-
pressed by the RECoRD-UNIoN-that the
French in this whole matter are unjust
and out for campaign of conquest under
the guise of maintaining the prestige of
France.

ANDREWS RE-APP0INTED.
THE PRESIDENT Will GO TO THE

Three Out OF the Five Former Delegates
WIN Probably Serve Again at Brus-
sells

President f. Benz. Andrews OF Brown
university has been re-appointei dele
gate 10 the Internal ional Monetary con
ference. Some time ago President An
drews resigned his position as delegate.
but President Cleveland refused to ac-
cept it, and requested him 20 serve again.
Having received permission OF he execu-
tive committee of the university, Presi-
dent Andrews will do SO.
President Cleveland has communicate ed
to each OF the five American delegates.
Governor McCreary of Kentucky and
Henry w. Cannon Of New York will
probably serve again. S-nator Allison
has declined absolutely to 10 TO Brussels
again, aud Senator Jones has nearly
made up his mind the same way. Thus
three out cf five OF the former del egat ion
will participate In the deliberations Of
the conference.
1t is quite probable tAat the confer
ence will be postponed until September
in view of the dis urbed state OF Belg um
politics.
In regard to the proposed postpone
ment President Andrews i'd this morn
ing that he supposed the trouble was ia
a fair way to De settled by the launch
ing of the new constitution. He thought
it, wou d be a good thing for the inter-
ests OF the conference III there could be "A
postponement until July or August, or
even later.
President Andrews says that the
American delegation will 20 TO Brussels
with one or two pr ;tty definite PROPOSE
tions, whether or not they are in the in
structious OF the government, aud it will
work hard TO carry them through.

Leader of Pawtuckefs "Rescue Mis-

The arrest Of John +. Harkins. the
trusted leader Of the 'Rescue mission
in Pawtucket, caused considerable ex-
citement among that band OF reformed
men and women.
Harkins was arrested on two charges
of assault, the trouble growing out of
an attempt made by an alleged creditor
to collect IA bill of him at mission meet
ing.
The creditor, Melvin Sherman, claims
that instesd of paying the bill. a he
promis d, Harkins forcibly elected him
from the room.
SherLian's brother Arthur accompanied
Deputy Sheriff Huliug to point out Har-
kins, and Harkius pounced upon him.
Hence the second charge OF assault.
The sheriff took Harkins, Eatiess aud

hour later he was released on bail of

THE EIGHT-HOUR Law.

Hereafter Providence Mail Carriers WIN
Work just Eight Hours Each Day.
Postmaster General Bissell has sent
out peremptory orders TO all postmasters
that the requirements Of the eight-hour
law regarding mail carriers must
be rigidly complied with. Heretofore
the Providence carrier, have been al
lowed to construe the 1883 law in rather
liberal sense. The original construction
Of the law contemplated fifty-six hours
work week for the carriers,
eight hours TO be allotted to each
time one day they were allowed TO even
up the next day by working less tha the
required eight hours. The attempt
to obtain an equable adjustment
of time has led many carriers
to believe that the government has
really gotten out OF them more hours
tharehey were paid for. A good deal Of
dissatisfaction and Two lawsuits have
grown out OF the difficulty.
In view OF these facts the postmaster
general has issued orders that the eight
hour law be rigidly enforced. That
means that every man mnst work
eight hours each day. no more aud no
less. Postmaster George states that
the result Of this order in Providence
wiz be TO necessitate an increase In the
sizs bf the force. There are fifty seven
carriers employed at present, but at
least seventy-five will be necessary to
carry out the enforcement of the eight.
hoar law. or course the services
of seventy y-five men will not be con-
stantly demanded, but on a rush day it
will require fully that many to handle
the work. The result IS watched with a
great deal OF interest in this city.
