The WOmanS' Progressive Political League,
An unusually interesting and profit
able session of the w. P P L. wss held
on the Rftertoon Of January 3 The dis
cussion was opened by President Otis
reading and commenting upon a letter
from q gentleman who had Investigated
the administration Of the only woman
police commissioner in the world. He
expressed his pleasure at the satisfactory
and effective work being accomplished
by Mrs. Eva Blackman, of Lsavenworth,
and declared that although be had
formerly been opposed to the extension
of suffrage to women, he is now quite
convinced that she is as capable Of hold
ing public position as q man, and be-
lieved he should vote for the amend
ment This was quite encouraging to
the ladies present and each one expressed
her convictions in few words upon this
and other phases Of the woman suffrage
question.
A visitor from Guthrie, OklshomRs, ex-
pressed her pleasure at meeting with
women who were interested in the vital
questions Of the day, saying that her
o. mpsthies were enlisted in behalf Of all
the great humanitarian reforms.
The next meeting OF the league will be
held at the Populist club rooms, and all
ladies who are interested in the subject

disappointment waits on expectation and
the result proves losing operation, be-
cause the cid establishments that had

Gated thousands of miles distant, where
labor was lower ard money more plenty,
could lay their goods down here cheaper
than he could make them. Therefore
the end drew nigh, intimations OF clos
ing down followed, and something must
be done. What should that beS Why,
that the legislature Of Kansas levy q
tax Of $25,OO0 year on the people Of
the state and pay it as subsidy or
bounty to our would-be manufacturer
to enable him to continue his benevolent
enterprise Of supplying us with blankets
and woolen goods at the same time that

tions should be levied on to sustain
favored one, and no legislature could be
induced to entertain such an idea
What then? Why, that the said legisls-
ture (the constitution OF the United
States permitting) lay duty Of 25 per
cent. on all wooden goods brought into
the state from Boston or elsewhere, and
put Gordon of police around our borders
to enforce it, and our Yankee project is

The next years returns show q ressona-
BILE profit and encouraging prospects
But how with the 100000 farmers and
families Of the state who were compelled
to buy his goods or 60 without-how has
it operated on themP Why, they begin
to suspicion something wrong about all
this, and end in the discovery that what
was his gain was their loss, and that this
kind Of governmental hokus pokus don't
work to their advantage by long ways;
that it is like the white hunters device
for dividing the game, that consisted of
a turkey and buzzsrd, with his Indian
partner, which didn't talk turkey to poor
Indian at all.
1t is entirely one sided. 1t don't talk
turkey to the farmer at all, except aS he
may CLEAN some Of the incidental drip
pings from it, the direct benefit going in
the other direction. And yet this is the
whole protection scheme-to legislate
profits into the pockets Of those iortu-
nate enough TO get hold Of the great
crank of government and hold under
their sack.

the value or MS goods as conoluOn OF
his entering that port, that per centRge
being necessary to ralse the requisite
means to carry on the government, to
which he cheerfully contributes by cut
ting off 200 yards Of his cloth (slnce he
is short Of funds), when he is permitted
to enter, and proceeds on his way home
wand with 800 yards as the proceeds of
his venture. But before another season
rolls around q few manufacturers Of
woolens in 9nd about Boston make COM
plaint Of this operation Of the western
man and beseige congress to stop it; and
by importuning and button hollrg and
wining and dining members, actually
succeed in inducing them to stultify
their most plain and obvious sense Of
right and justice by passing an act for
bidding him from trading his wheat
abroad where he can do the best for
himself and friends by the imposition of
a heavy penalty upon him and his for SO
doing in the shape Of 30 per cent. addi-
tionsl tax or tariff levy on his goods; and
this not to meet increased necessities OF
the government, but at the demand and
for the advantage Of the Boston men
against foreign competition so called. and
denounced. Now, witness the effects on
the western farmer, who, with others of
his vocation, had been hard at work at
home on their farms while the New
England brother had been plotting
schemes at Washington and laying nets
to gather in their hard earnings, under
pretense of patriotism and fellow citizen
ship, that would rebound to the benefit
Of his purse and Of which the western
men were utterly unaware and unRp-
prised. Well, he makes his annual trip
with his 1000 bushels of wheat soon after
the passage OF the act referred to, and
on returning to New York is thunder
struck at the demand Of so per cent. or
500 yards Of his cloth as a condition OF
entering the port and proceeding on his
way homewsrd. He demonstrates, OF
course, and demands to know the neces-
sity for the increase of duties or the res-
sons for the change, but is cut short by
the collector with the answer that he has
nothing to do or say on that point, he is
simply fulfilling orders and carrying out
the law. The upshot is, of course, that
the man has to sacrifice one-half his
goods, or in other words, one-hRlt his
crop, and returns home q poorer and
wiser man. But he and his fellows are
led by the operation to institute an in
quiry Of their member Of congress, only

and when the system had become en-
trenche6 in our policy and the profit
accruing from it so ample that the
Boston brothers (now more numerous)
can afford to keep q lobby at the ma
tionsl capital to maintain them in their
position, while he and his must obey
government orders to trade with their
brethren of the east, nOlens OOlenS will

protection and such its fundamental

BOLD NAVIGATORS.
Tiny Vessels Braving the
Big Seas.
Arrival of the KusSiioff at Honolulu
A Captains Proposed Trip in
a Small Boat.

Two fearless navigators are Captain
Ridderbjelke and Captain Vebling. One
is on his way to San Francisco from Yoko-
hama in a 13-foot boat, and the other
has just arrived at Honolulu, after trip
from this city occupying twenty-eight
days, in the tiny schooner kusslioH ot
fifteen tons gross tonnage.
Captain Ridderbjelke was formerly OF
the British schooner Warlock. which had
been sold by its owners to satisfy several
seamen's claims for wages. Captain
Vehlng and his boat are well known on
this coast.
The Kussiloff sailed from San Francisco
on the 9th of last Nav for trip TO Guate-
mala and the South Sea islands. She was
the smallest craft that ever cleared from
this port for such a voyage.
What made the departure OF the kussll-
OH douby interesting was the knowledge
that Captain Vehling would be accompa-
MED by his wife aud five children, the old
est OF the latter not having reached the
age of years while the youngest was a
mere baby.
The Kussiloff is schooner-rigged and is
only forty-three feet long. Her cabins are
diminutive and Captain VehliDg's family
could hardly find room in them to turn
around.
The steamer Peru brought a private let
ter, stating that the doughty San Francis
can had reached the islands after passage
OF twenty-eight days and that himself and
his family were well and hearty.
The captain decided not to make q
touch at Central America. but instead ran
straight for Honolulu.
"The little craft found rough weather
just outside of San Francisco bar on the
day of her departure, and the gale contln-
ued until the schooner was five days out.
From that time on the trip was pleasant
one."
The story of the Warlock and her CON-
mander is even more interesting than that
OF the Kussiloff aud Captain Vehing.
The Warloek came into Y Yokohama har-
Dor In an almost wrecked condition. The
crew were grumbling because they had
not been paid, and so attached the craft.
M Captain Ridderbjelke had not received
any money either. The Warlock was sold
at auction by order of the British Consul
and the captain was left pennilsss.
His friends came to the rescue and
offered to help him get back to the United
States, his home. Now the captain is GO
ing to cross the ocean in 25-foot boat OF
feet beam.
He will follow the coast of Kuriles. then
cross To Sagbalien Island. thence along
Kamschatka to the Aleutians, to Puge
Sound and finally to this city,

SICK AND DESPONDENT.
Why the Young Italian JOSEPH
Monte Killed Himself,

The body OF the man who committed sui
eide on Sunday in the lodging-house on the
corner OF Third and Mission streets, was
iden tiled at the Morgue yesterday by the
proprietor of an Italian hotel, as that of
Joseph Monte, anative of Scily, who came
to this city from San Diego for medical
treatment. Monte has been an invalid for
years and was told upon his arrival here
by physician that his disease was incura-
BILE. From that time he became despond-
ent, and at last ended his life.
Before committing the deed he wrote and
sent letter to young lady living al the
hotel, in which he ann ounced his intention
to do away with himself. She got the let
ter by yesterdays mail and at once went
to the Morgue with the hotel proprietor,
and so the body came to be identified.
Monte had no family or relations here ex-
cent sister.

ARRESTED FOR PERJURY.
A Chinese Witness Fails in His
Efforts to Land a Woman.


A sample case of Chinese perjury
cropped up before United States Commits
sloDer Heacock yesterday in the habeas
corpus of Zip Chop Yee, Chinese woman
who Is very anxious to get landed in this
country. She came on the Chinese steamer
several days ago. and certain MOngolans
OF the highbinder class seem to be very
anxious that she should be allowed to get
ashore.
One of her friends, Low Yee Him, has
been very Jealous in her behalf. and went
ltsle too far yesterday with the result
that he was arrested for perjury.
Ii appears that some days ago Him was
questioned about the woman, and told In
spectors Lynch and OLeary that she had
been employed as sewing-machine 0per-
at0r In one of the local factories.
Yesterday wien called as witness in
the case. he realized that if he repeated
this story the woman would come under

NEARLY A WRECK.
Ties Piled on the Track Near Clover
dale Saturday Night.


A passenger train on the San Francisco
and North Pacific road narrowly escaped
wrecking Saturday night near a little
station called Asti and between that place
and Cloverdale.
Train No. 13, a through passenger. was
hurrying along to Cloverdale when the
engine suddenly crashed into a pile of ties
which had been placed upon the track.
The engineer Immediately reversed the
machinery and was able to pull up just as
another pile of ties was reached.
The ties had been piled up so that if the
first obstruction did not accomplish the
desired damage the second would.
The track was soon cleared aud the train
proceeded cautiously on to its northern
destination, where the affair was reported
by wire 10 the officials in this city.
There is no attempt to connect the strik-
ers with the dastardly deed, as the road is
in no trouble whatever.
