How They First Mot Each Other in 1851
Mrs. Bloomer's Dress Skirt
Old Timers.

One afternoon two white haired ladies
sat opposite each other in a parlor over
looking the park and told stories of other
times. These two ladies were Mrs Eliza
beth Cady Stanton and Miss Susan B. An
thony.
''How long have you and Miss Anthony
been frends?" asked the reporter who was
present.
"We first met in May, 1851, didn't we,
Susan?" said Mrs. Stanton. ''Yes, there
was an antislavery convention in Syra-
cuse, and Miss Anthony came. George
Thompson and William Lloyd Garrison
were my guests. We were going home to
dinner when we met Miss Anthony on the
street. Who was with you, Susan3"
"Why, Mrs. Bloomer. Don't you re-
member l was her guest?" replied Miss
Anthony, with as keen a recollection Of
the circumstance as if it had all happen
ed yesterday. f"You know, Mrs. Bloomer
introduced new fashion in dress skirts"
she said, turning to the reporter with q
Quizzical smile.
"Did you adopt the costume of your
hostess?"
"Oh, no, she didn't" said Mrs Stanton.
~ remember exactly how she was dressed.
Susan, get volume l of Tho History of
Woman's Suffrage and show how you
looked. She had on gray silk dress and
gray hat, and wore pale blue ribbons. She
was the perfection Of neatness and sobri-
ety."
BY this time Miss Anthony had found
her picture in volume l, and showed the
reporter steel engraving Of n young wo-
man with fine. clear features and soft
hair, brushed, as now, down over the ears.

it through the glasses which the clear eyes
of 40 years ago had not needed.
'They used to ridicule me so much, !"
said Miss Anthony, looking at the engrav-

worst came to worst and she had to find
some way Of earning her living, she be-
lieved that she would become public

TraCV Maintains His Estimate,

New YORK, Dec. 20.-den. Tracy was
shown the London cablegram regarding
the debate in the British commons in
which Lord Hamilton quoted him as
saying that England would require to
be building nineteen battleships within
the next two years in order to main
tain her position. Also Gladstone s
reply and the Globes criticism.
Tracy laughed heartily and said :
"Well, don't see that the matter calls
for any comment on my part, az I
think Gladstone has done that for me.
However. 1 will say that if Gladstone
studies the condition of the French and
Russian navies he will learn, if he is
not already aware of it, that I am right
in 1he statement which Lord George
Hamilton quoted. Two years from now
France and Russia will have combined,

displacement against thirty-one of

STEVENS REPLY.
He Gives the Lie to President
Cleveland.
He Asserts That the Motive of the
President Is to Disgrace the
Previous Administration.
By the Associated Pr ,ss.

By the Associated Pr ,ss.
AUGUST Me-, Dec. 20.-Ex- Minister
Stevens is out in reply to President
Cleveland's severe structures upon him
in his Hawaiian message. Stevens says
the presidents criticism is nothing but
feeble reproduction OF Gresham's
statement previously published
Says he: President Cleveland's
grossly untrue and shamefully unjust
allegation against myself and Naval
Com mander Wiltse rests entirely on
the statements of four notoriously cor
rupt ministers of the fallen queen, of
Wilson, 5he queens favorite, and other
thoroughly discreditable testimony. I
repeat here what has been amply veri-
fled again and again, that neither by
force nor by threat of force or by any
action OF mine was the fall of the r.oa-
archy precipitated. For month prior
to November, 1892, there had been a
continual struggle between the legisla-
ture and the queen as to their respect.
i've rights and only the remarkable self
possession OF respectable and RESPONSE
bic men Of ihe< islands prevented an
outbreak at an early day."
Believing there was no prospects of
immediate difficulty Stevens left Homo
lulu on January 4, on trip to Hilo, re-
turning on January IA, in company with
| Capt. Wiltse. He found the city in
great excitement and the tide of re;;o!l;a
ton already surging. Stevens attempt
ed to gain access to the queen and try
by friendly advice to arrest the revolu-
ton but he was too late to prevent the
carving out OF her plan OF overturning
the constitution. What took place on
the afternoon of January IA, ended tie
monarchy forever.
Stevens quotes Chief Justice Judd,
supporter OF the monarchy, in denounc-
ing the falslty of the charge, that the
queen was driven from the throne by
an armed force or threat of forcein any
form or manner. As to the landi.. of
the Boston's marines, Stevens says he
only did what Minister Merrill did, act
ing under the order of Cleveland and
Bayard on August l. 1889, that is, he
had the marines landed IN anticipation
OF turbulence on shore and for the
preservation OF order.
Stevens characteriZes as absurd the
presidents statement THAI the queen and
| Wilson had at the police station a suf-
| fcisnt force to sustain the monarchy.
''There never was," said be, ''a more
preposterous assumption than this as
sertion of the president that the queen
on January II had an ample force to
sustain her and to enable her to carry
on the government. This stubbornly
maintained assumption of the president
is based on the testimony OF notoriously
corrupt representatives of rings that
surrounded the queen. that the Ha-
waiian monarchy was overturned by
United States force, was and lie put
forth for the sole purpose of brinaing
discredit on the preceding administra-
tion at Washington and on the action
OF the foreign relations committee of
the United States senate In favor of an
nexation."

two pending conference reports. that
on the urgent deficiency of the last ses-
sion and of the New York and New
Jersey bridge bill, preparatory to ad-
ieurnment for the holiday recess to-
morrow. Both reports we're agreed to
after some very lively speeches. The
deficiency bill called forth very bitter
arrangement of both parties for wanton
extravaganza, from Hutchison of Texas
and the bridge bill, as amended by the
senate. was vigorously opposed by
Cummings, Warner, Sickles and Bart

by decisive vote.
The report of the secretary of the

A. B. Nettleton, J. II. Rice and j.

cability and merits of the proposed

tion. 1t is the intention of the com
pany to press the matter in the senate.

ROME, Dec 2O.-The Italian chamber
of deputies was crowded and much in
terested in the governments declara-
tion of its policy. After the policy of
the ministry had been announced, a
workman named Angloetti, from the
gallery cried: "This is regular Afri-
can kraal." A scene of commotion fol-
lowed, during which Angloetti was re-
moved from the gallery by police,
wildly shouting Thieves |" Rob
bers" "Down with pillagers!" "Death
to the public thieyesn' The gallery
evidently contained some people in
sympathy with the workman for cries
of LET him alone" were heard.
The vice-president of the chamber an
nounced the resignation of Signor
zanardelli, and Crispi and other promi-
nsnt members of the chamber, includ-
ing the Marquis Dirudini and Admiral
Brin urged that the resignation should
not be accepted, whereupon it was re-
| jected almost unanimously, only few
of the socialists pronouncing them
selves against the motion. Barzili es-
peciallv urged the chamber not to ac-
cept the resignation as an expression of
sympathy toward Zanardelli, who he
said, refused to be influenced in the
choice OF ministers by considerations
other than those of parliamentary
nature.
Vice. President Villa read dispatch
from the Italian chamber of deputies
to the French chamber expressing
sympathy with the French chamber
concerning the recent bomb outrage in
Paris. socialist member declared
that the so-called socialists would not
join in the message of sympathy IN
| view of the attitude of certain mem
bers OF the French chamber at the time
of the Fourmies affair. The conserva-
tives protested strongly against this op-
position.
| Coltanni demanded change OF policy
regarding Sicily, saying that he hoped
Crispi would propose general amnesty
for lawless acts committed during the
present year. Crispi, in reply, said he
wished to avoid today full discussion
of the government policy. He proposed
to go to work and repair the position Of
Italy. He had not alluded to the for
eign policy because he believed thai
the present internal questions affecting
Italy were not pressing. The premier
also said his opinions upon the foreign
policy of Italy were we'll known. He
desired to maintain friendly relations
with all nations.

Naval Movements.

The navy department has ordered the
cruiser New York and the monitor
Miantonomah to get ready for sea. 1t
is supposed they are to proceed to Rio,
but the navy department declines to
give definite information on this point.
1t will require week to put the Mian-
tonomah in condition for sea. The
New York is to be dry-docked today.
The ordering of the San Francisco to
Rio with Admiral Benham ON board
puts that officer in command of the
United States naval force there. Secre-
tary Herbert said in reply to a query
that this was not to be construed as a
decision Of the Stanton case and the
order was not intended to bear on that
case. He said the decision in the
Stanton case would very soon be given
to the public.

LONDON, Dec. 20.-The Globe criti-
cises Gladstone's slurring remarks re-
garding Gen. Tracy, ex-secretary of the
United States navy, in last nights de-
bate in the commons. These remarks,
which were not given in last nights
report, were in response to an allusion
by Lord George Hamilton to the judg-
ment Of the American ex-secretary of
the navy.
Gladstone said: Il do not suppose
Gen. Tracy has acquired such knowl-
edge that the whole parliament has to
defer to the opinion he sent across the
Atlantic" The Globe says Gladstone's
sneer was unpro11oked and utterly un-
justified.

Hoar'S Remarks.

Hoar ad dressed the senate on the
Hawaiian question and reviewed the
events in Hawaii up to the inaugura-
tion of Cleveland, and eaid There
took place certain transactions which
suggest to Americans the questions ::
Who is the United States of America :?
Who represents in great national and
international affairs its purpose, its
honor and its policy as to foreign re-
lations? The question OF the legality
of proceedings as to Blount's appoint
ment was a question which it is the
duty of the senate to deal with. The
president when he und ertook to decide
that question and withhold from the
people of the United States what he
was doing until it was settled one way
or another seemed to have supposed
he was the United States of America
but synonym of him.
"There is but one parallel for Willis
instructions and that was Dogberry's
instructions to the watch:
Dogberry-You're thought here to be the
most senseless and fit man for constable of the
watch, therefore bear you the lantern. This is
your charge; you shall comprehend all vagrant
men; you are to bid any man stand in the
princes name.
Watchman- How If he will not stand?
Dogberry-Why,t then take no note of him and
let him CO."
The quotation evoked wave Of
laughter. At the conclusion of Hoar's
remarks the message of the president
and the information sent in response to
Hoar's resolution some days ago were
ordered printed and referred to the
committee on foreign relations.

the mechanics arts building has been
taken. Very little gallery space is left.
The machinery for this building is be-
Ing rapidly placed. AS oil will be the
only fuel used there will be an absence
of disagreeable smoke about the
grounds. Very little space is left in
the agricultural and horticultural build
ing. Viticulturists have found it
necessary to build an addition to the

They demand more space under the

PETERS Conscientious Oualms.

Cockrell reported the urgent def
cheney bill. PETER moved to strike out
the item allowing mileage to senators
and members for the present session.
He argued that in the present depressed
condition of the country it was wrong
for senators and representatives to take
money to which their right was at least
doubted. Dolph wished to remind the
senator of something that had escaped
his attention; that no one was obliged
to take mileage and if the bill passed
and the senator from Kansas or any
other senator had compunctions OF COR
science about it he could leave the
money in the treasury. After some
debate by vote of II yeas and AZ nays
the motion to strike out was rejected
and the bill was passed.
