A N G RY BRITISH ERS
Latest Rio Incident Believed to Be of
Little Importance.
Admiral Benham's Action Probably
Exaggerated-What Conveying q
British Ship Would Mean.

The bitter comments of the English news
papers In regard to the reported action of
ADMIRAL Benham commanding the United
states forces at Rio, in conveying a water
boat TO the British steamer Nasmyth after
'he BRUSH naval commander at Rio had
refused to do so, are believed at the Navy
department to be based on a misconception
Oh the facts In the case. 1t is said that
ADMIRAL Benham probably did not do ex-
actiy what he is reported to have done. but
that If he did. it is felt that it was under
Justlnable circumstances, the nature of
which has not been fully disclosed It ia
not denied that it would have been an act
Oh questionable propriety If it should have

There is much comment among play

Albaugh's Grand Opera House in this CITY.
NJ. Clarke acted the character of the Mel

NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
No Alarm Felt Here Over Those Toledo
Armed Men.

1t is said at the Department Of Justice that
the reported arming of organized bands OF
men in Toledo. Ohio, under the auspices OF
the American Protective Association. has
not in the remotest way received the atten-
ton of the officials of the department.
One official of the department pointed out
that the organization of armed bands to
parade the streets would certainly be a yio-
lation OF the law in many states as the
courts have sustained the constitutionality
of laws which prohibit the marching in
public of armed bodies other than the regu-
la-ly organized militia. The purchase by
an individual of gun or other weapon would
not, of course, be in violation of law but
the meeting together of many persons with
implements of war and with intentions of a
hostile nature. while not coming directly
under the provision of the laws above re-
ferred to,would meet with the disapproyal of
the authorities and subject those engaging
therein to interference by the proper of
ficials of the government. The whole mat
ter Is treated lightly at the department, [,
however. and the reports are regarded as
highly exaggerated.

Mrs. James Bennett of Kentucky was
before the House committee on election
of President and Vice President this morn
Ing. and made an argument for woman suf-
mage. She said she came to urge SOUTH
err Congressman to amend the constitutions
and laws of their states so that women
could vote. She expressed belief that the
right of women to vote at all public elec-
tions would soon be granted
Mrs. Bennett had considerable to saw
about the injustice which had been prac-
tfced and preached against women on the
texts that women should be ruled by their
husbands Her remarks were to the effect
that there should be constitutional
amendment allowing all persons to vote
and compelling states to make their con-
stitutions and laws conform to it.
