WOMEN AT THE OAR.
a st. Louis Girl Wins the Female Scull-
ing Championship.


st. Louis, Oct. 14.-Miss Rose Mosen-
theim of this city to-day won the female
sculling championship of the world by
defeating Miss Tillie Ashley of Hartford,
Conn. The contest was over the regular
mile and a half course, down stream from
the foot of Palm street to point 200 feet
above the Eads bridge.
The start was on even terms. The Yam
kee girl got to work at once and led for an
instant, but the sweeping and powerful
stroke Of the Missouri lass soon gave her
the advantage, which she held to the fin
lsh, and the race was virtually over at
the end of the mile When 100 yards from
the finish Miss Moesentheim led by six
lengths and eased up trifle, but finished
four lengths in advance in 12:23&.
When the flag fell at the finish the
shouts of the $4,000 people along the river
banks, mingled with the screams of
whistles, the clamor of bells, and the ex-
plosion of bombs, made a mighty uproar.
The two young women were taken from
their shells TO the tug Reliance and car
ried to the club house of the Centrals,
where the victor was presented with a
costly medal, emblematic of the female
sculling championship Of the world. A
reception was held there tonight

RELe1uM,s ELECTION.
1t is the First for Parliament With Uni
versal Suffrage.

versal Suffrage.
Brussels, Oct. 14.-Belgium's first par
liamentary election with universal suf-
rage was held to-day. The weather has
been rainy and raw and the voting has
been slow. AS the bulk of the votes was
cast late. the returns have come in tar-
dily, although the polls were closed about
tho middle of the afternoon. Excited
crowds have surrounded the city hall
since O'Clock, but at nightfau had
learned little Of tho result 1t was known
then that the clericals had made gains in
many districts and that the liberals had
suffered heavily on account Of the strong
support given TO the socialist candidates.
No disturbances are reported.
The Liberal party was divided into ad-
vanced and moderate groups throughout
the campaign. and therefore went to the
polls greatly handicapped.
In several places the socialists and
clericals struggled keenly for the advant-
age. Perhaps the sharpest fight was
made by the clerical leader, Woeste
against the Christian socialist Abbe
Daens. Late this evening several hand
to-hand conflicts were reported, but none
of them is thought to have been especially
serious.
The figures for Brussels, as far as com
pleted at 10 O'Clock. We're; Liberals 49,
600 Catholics 1850, socialists 1850. They
indicate that a second ballot will be nee
essary. The returns from other cities
are fragmentary. No summary Of the
general result will be possible tomorrow
morning. The success of the Catholics
in Client is assured
The socialists, united with the progress
lists have gained in Charleroi and Liege,
and have lost none in Mons.
Minister Bruin was reelected in Ter
monde. The liberals have carried Namur.
Woeste the clerical, has been defeated.
The complications of the three-class svs-
tenn caused much delay in the voting. The
electors are divided in classes designated
by the names untvox, Unexvox and Tri-
voX. The first class includes all men
over 25 years old who have resided year
or more in the election district. Many
of these voters are ignorant and were ex-
ceedingIy slow in preparing their ballots.
With the second class of married men
and widowers. who pay personal taxes
Of fracs or more each, there was little
| difficulty In the third class are most of
the highly educated men, and conse-
quently all the priesthood, who in Bel
gium, number fully 10000. AS every priest
had three votes, the total vote of the
Belgian priests is about 5000. This ad-
vantage is supposed to account for some
of the numbered gains. The law of COM
| pulsory voting caused many remarkable
| scenes to-day. Many men who did not
understand the law. tried to avoid yatina
| although they had procul ed the necessary
permission from the civil judges. They
were brought, angry and obstinate, to the
| polls and forced to deposit ballots Some
| inscribed the names OF Imaginary candi-
dates on the ballots, thus causing much
| confusion and delay in counting.

FALL RIVER STRIKE.
A Probability That Most of the Strikers
VIII Be at Work Within a Week.


Fall River, Mass, Oct. 14.-The entire
business community is interested in the
result of tomorrow mornings action of
the operatives, the interest centering in
the action of the weavers There Is little
doubt but that the rest of the employees
will go in. 1t is expected that many of
the weavers will return besause the loss
of wages for the last eight weeks has
driven many of them, as we'll as other
operatives, into straitened circumstances
The manufacturers think they will have
bother in operating the machinery for a
few days, but do not anticipate that the
help will stay away from the mills after
the first week in sufficient numbers to
seriously affect business.
Since the strike began the mills that
have been running have secured weavers
from other factories, and the particu-
larly skilled weaVers are at work. Some
bother is expected tomorrow IL there IS a
general resumption of work by ST. perrin
tendents trying to get back their old
help now working in other mills
Many members of the Weavers' Union
will show a determined spirit and Will
probably stay away until they find that
continued absence from their old places
is Of no avail as q factor in the situation.
During the strike large sums have been
expended for repairs, and II is expected
lHdI more OF less trouble VIII be eXDer-
fenced until the machinery gets INTO good
running order.
Business men and tradesmen generally
hail with delight the prospective COM
plete resumption of work. During the va
cations something like $l5O,OOO has been
kept out Of the channels through which II
runs when no trouble exists between the
manufacturers and their employees.
The weavers are to hold a meeting on
the park tomorrow and the results viii
be read from various sections of the city,
showing to what extent the vote of Sat
urday to stay out has been regarded.
