A bout $500 in money and eight gold

women in advocating equal suffrage
before the legislature, said she is dis
gusted with the result of the en-
franchisement of women.
The conduct of the women of Cap

gone and cut the throat Of the party
that gave them the right to vote and
have disgraced their womanhood. The
governor opposes the enfranchise-
ment of women as much as 1 do now
I don't think he is absolutely against

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 14.-There is
evidence to prove that the accession
Of Nicholas has not removed the anx-

which undou bted1y shortened the life
of Alexander Under a police order
yesterday nobody was allowed on
either the balconies or roofs of the
houses, though here and there a few
daring or privileged people were seen
in such positions. They ran the risk
of being arrested and fined fifteen
rOubles, the penalty for infractions of
the order Further. all windows and
doors were ordered closed by the
police and householders were held
responsible for the good behavior of
visitors during the passage of the pro-

these precautions might have safely
been dispensed with. An imposing
line of troops who kept the route
were not needed for anyth ing but
decorative purpose, or as a symbol of
