The Adverse Report of the Committee Was Agreed to At the Close ofa Long Debate. Report on the Question of seetarianism In schooIs-other Important Reports.

of the suffrage committee on the proposi- ton to allow the question of woman suf- frage to go to the people has been agreed to by a vote of 96 yeas to 5S nays. The question is now dead.
 When President Cboate let fall the gavel, thcro were just 2 members scatter ed around about the chamber, while the spectators numbered Mrs. Blake, Miss Anthony, Mrs Greenleaf and Mrs. Almy. Tho chair expressed his doubt as to the presence of a quorum and said graycly that those opposed to woman suffrage were losing valuable time. Finally tho chair announced that there were 23 min- utes left for those favoring the adverse report. Mir. Mcclure arose, and with 30 members in their seats began n. speech against the extension of the suffrage. He held that the convention had no right or reason to present questions to the people instead of amendments in proper form.
 While Mir. McCluro was speaking, Mir. Root came in and raised the point of no quorum.
 The chair refused to entertain the point. house Mir Dean held that MT. Mcclure could not be interrupted by call.
 The Debate Closes.
 The chair upheld Mir Dean, and MT. Mcclure proceeded. He said that suffrage was not a right, but n duty imposed by the state It would be unwise to make it a duty for women to vote when the ma jority of them did not wantit He thought that the suffrage should be restricted rather than extended. He did not believe women wanted 1t.
 Messrs- Church. Phipps, Fraser, Ar | mold, McKinstry, Lincoln and Lauterbach spoke in favor of suffrage for women, the | chamber In the meantime filling up with delegates and spectators.
 Mir. Goodelle, chairman of the commit ! tee on suffrage, gave up l5 minutes of his | time. MT. Root was sure that women | would Do degraded and their sex per vcrted by being put in politics. Suffrage l was not an inherent or natural right and | to grant women thc suffrage would bc to destroy institutions and the peace that prevails. Women in their sphere were su- | perior to men and should remain superior. l Mir. Goodello spoke to close the debate. Then a vote was ordered. Those voting | against suffrage aro recorded as aye for | the adverse report, those in favor of suf- frage voting no. Many members explain ed their votes. The result was, ayes, 97; nays, 5s, killing the appeal for female | suffrage.
