EDITOR STEAD'S LATEST.
Remarks Which Chicago Women Indis-
nantly and Vigorously Denounced.

Chicago, December 28.-Yesterday
Editor ". T.Stead of London gave utter
ance to statements in the Auditorium,
in the presence of some of the best
known women of Chicago, representing
the Confederated Woman's club of the
city, that under most circumstances
might lead to personal injury at the
hands of indignant husbands and sons.
Dr.Sarah Hackett Stevenson presided,
and she and Mrs. Charles Henrotin, pre-
sident of the late Women's Colum bian
Congress and vice preside t.of the Board
OF Lady Managers; Mrs. j /. M. Flower. a
member of the school board, and others
made addresses setting forth the neces-
sity of prompt action because of the
great suffering that was known to exist
in all sections Of the city.
MIR. Stead was present by invitation
and was called upon to speak. He pre-
he was glad to see that the women Of
Chicago were awake to the situation.
and he felt much complimented at being
invited to address the meeting. Then he
became enthusiastic and used expressions
stronger, probably than he intended to
make. Among other things he said:
"Who are the most dfsreputable women
streets. They are those women who are
lowered by fortune and Providence with
all there is In the world to be desired in
the way of wealth and social position,
but who squander everything upon
themselves and, forgetting the unfortu-
nate ones, live only for their brothers
and sisters. These women pass lives Of
leisure and think only Of themselves
Therefore, in the eyes of God and man
they are lower than the most abandoned
women in Fourth avenue.n
There was a great sensation at this and
suppressed excitement, but Mr.. Stead was
allowed to continue. He then left the
hall
1t was we'll for him that he left, for
the anger of the women could not have
been controlled much longer. AS soon
as he left the room the storm burst, and
Mr.. Stead was scored most unfnerciful-
ly. Mrs. N. J. Chalmers, president Of
the West Side Woman's club, and the
wife of wealthy iron manufacturer,
said it was an outrage that the women
of the city should be insulted in such a
manner by any man. "We have had all
sorts of vice, misery and CRIME to deal
with in Chicago" ?" she said, "but we may
be thankful that we have had no Stead"
Mrs. Flower, Miss Ada Sweet, Mrs. Hem
rotin, Mrs. f. j. Parker and Others spoke
in the same strain.

The Customs Refund Gases.

Washington, December 2S.-The whole
subject of the customs refund methods
has been transferred by the treasury de-
partment to a congressional commission
for inquiry and report. This commits
sion, commonly called the Dockery COM
mission, was appointed by Congress to
inquire into the methods of conducting
business in the legislative departments.
So far the commission has devoted much
of its time to treasury methods. Ex-
perts employed by the commission are
looking into the refund methods as
practiced at the several custom houses.
These methods, irregular in practice and
fraudulent in many cases, it is asserted,
were brought into prominence by the
extensive Irregularities in the New York
custom house.

Gently became law, declaring pension
to be a vested right and prohibiting the
suspension OF payments OF pensions ex-
cept after 80 days notice. In conformi-
ty with this act no suspensions will be
made for any cause whatever until the

notice. With this 30 days notice the
pensioner will be informed of the exact
stains of his case, and in what particular
it fails to meet the requirements of the
law.

He Is Said To Have Founded a Society in
Order to Betray Its Members.
Prague, December 2S.-The Official Ga
zette, in an article on the recent assassi-
nation of Mrva, whom the young Czechs
charge was an agent of the police, says
that the indirect connection between the
speeches made by young Czech members
of the Reichsrath and the murder Of
Mrva condemns the party at home and
abroad. It adds that the Bohemian peo-
pie regard with anguish the seduction of
their young men by fanatic agitators,
who have no justification whatever in
creating movement which recalls that
which preceded the thirty years war,
and which is leading the country into an
abyss of ruin. Well disposed men ought
to revise their political programme.
In searching the lodgings Of Dragoun
and Dalezal, two men accused of COM
plicity in the assassination of Mrva. de-
signs for bombs and socialist pamphlet
were found. Both Dragoun and Dalezal
are members of the Omladlna Society.
the socialist organization founded BY
Mrva, as many of it's members now
claim, for the sole purpose of leading
them into making demonstrations and
then betraying them to the authorities.
