The announcement first made by the
able tie-up of the entire Great North
ern system, looked yesterday as
though it would be verified SO far as the
Western division is concerned. The
action by the company in reducing the
wages of its employees, effective Jan.
l, has met all along with deep
under current of opposition. The dis
patches published yesterday morning
tended to confirm the belief that gem
eral strike was imminent. The fact that
General Superintendent Bryan left for
the Western portion of the line yester-
day morning appeared significant to
many, though, in fact, it had no bearing
on the case. The cut in wages fell

initial custom, but little could be learned
at the company's headquarters yester-
day. President Hill left for Duluth
Thursday night in his private car, ac-
companied by General Manager Cor
don, of the Northern Steamship com.
pany. so that nothing could be learned
from him. The reported magnitude of
the strike among the switchmen at
Butte that ended in the company acced-
ing to the demands of the men Vice
President Clongh stated yesterday
was much eXagg Grated. He denied
the probability of a strike, iatimating
that negotiations are in progress that
will silence opposition, and bring har-
mony. A very good reason why the
| officials could not give any definite in
formation was because telegraphic eoa-
municatious were cut off in Montana,
the wires being down owing to wash
| out OH the Cascade division.
One OF the conductors SAID last nights:
81 do not believe there will ba
strike. In fact, it would be unwise to
strike at this particular time. because
of the financial stringency of the times
and the many willing railroad men out
of employment. L believe President
Hill could secure any number he de.
sired that would be willing to work for
81 day. The men should consider the
matter in this way: They should re-

for corporations as for men. and the
strictest economy is necessary"
The speaker said tie reduction fell
as heavily on him as any one else, his
wages being reduced 1875 per cent. He
argued generally that, though the
| present conditions seem hard, it
is far better for the men
to view the matter philosophically
and accept for the present what they

WASHINGTON, April 13. Democratic
members of the house do not hope for
quorum until Tuesday. but are count
ing upon the adoption on that day OF the
pending rule, fning members vino do
not respond to roll calls. There are
number of Democrats anxious to pro-
pose quOrum-cOunting substitute for
the rule, but those in charge of the CON-
mittee's proposition do not think these
men will vote against the new rule.
The struggle over the adoption of the
new rule TO secure voting quorum was
resumed when the house met today.
The Republicans made preliminary
stand against the approval OF the jour
nal. AS soon as it had been read Mr..
Boutelle jumped to his feet and object
ed. and when Mr.. Dockery moved its
approval the Republicans sat silent in
their seats.
Upon the announcement of the vote,
105 to 0. Mr.. Boutelle made the point of
no quorum, and the roll was called.
The Republicans refraiped from vot-
ing. and the result, 155-1, showed that
the Democrats were tWenty-threc short
OF quorum.
Mr.. Dockery then moved a call Of the
house. instructing his side to vote down
the motion, in the hope of developing a
Democratic quorum. But again the
Democrats failed to get the quorum.
The motion fer call was defeated,
140-14. The Democrats were still twen-
ty-iive short. The prospects of quo
rum today were hopeless, and, as 1t had
been decided to call a Democratic eau
Gus TO consider the rules, Mr.. Duckery
moved an adjournment,a and at 10 o'clock
the house adjourned.
The announcement of the caucus
read from the clerks desk was greeted
with loud Republican cheers and Jeers.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The ap-
pointment of Capt. Harries to be inter-

correspondents try to make it appear
that somebody was turned up or turned

here are quiet, and waiting further de-
velopments. Tie authority of the two

GREAT FALLS, Mont. April 13.-No

more completely than the Great North
ern is here this afternoon. At noon
every man obeyed the order Of the

left on the bridge giving access
to this city prevented the west
bound express from coming this

given to go on to Butte, but there was
no dispatcher to give 1T clearance. The

beating heart of woman, and the
union of moral aud intellectual
forces. Show me an institution OF

show you an institution which tends

not requiring police protection.
The question to-day is not whether

Congressman John Davis, of Kan
sas, at recent hearing before the
special committee on Woman Suf.
frage of the U. S. senate, said
1t is maintained by some that the
ballot rests ultimately on the bullet;
that majorities should rule minori-
ties, because majorities can defeat
minorities on the battlefield 1t is
assumed, therefore, that women
should not cast the ballot because
they cannot bear arms on the battle
field. The conclusion is wrong.
The assumption is founded on the
lowest ethics of savagery, and has
no place in civilized society. 1t is
assumed that, in some imaginary
exigency of government, most OF
the non-combatants may vote in the
majority; that most hghtlng men
able to bear arms may vote in the
minority, and that, in such case, a
rebellious minority could not be
coerced into submission. On the
ethics of savagery such contingent
cies may arise, but not in civilized
society.
In the ethics Of savagcry, women
have little influence, and a dozen
braves may bully and defy thou
sand children and squaws. Their
respect for the helpless is slight, and
their sense of patriotism scarcely
extends into the future. Savages
are little troubled with anxiety for
the welfare of posterity. In the
ethics of savagery it is assumed that
woman is not cOnbatant, and,
hence, should be excluded from the
ballot. In thousand ways, civil
lied society differs from savagery.
There are social ties and sentiments
of patriotism, and feelings of obliga-
ton to our fellows in civilized soci-
ETY., not found in savagery The
armies on both sides were fuller
during the late war because both
male and female hearts swelled with
the same patriotism because moth
ers, wives and sisters said to sons,
husbands and brothers, "Go!" And
noble men at Shiloh, Gettysburg and
Chattanooga fought more bravely,
fell more willingly and died more
cheerfully because of the we'll
thumbed pages Of encouragement
from mothers, wives and sweethearts,
carefully slowed among the soldiers
personal treasures. Female courage,
female patriotism and female voices
were "war power" in that great
struggle, powerfully felt and grand
ly acknowledged on both sides. But
this part of the subject must be
built up from the lowest bedrock.
Let us appeal to physical facts. In
what consists the war power of ma

war power of the nations and peo-
Piles consists Of the purse and the
sword" That statement being true,
what is the percentage of purse and
what of sword, in the most effective
war power?
Russia is military nation. There
are, say, in the entire Russian en-
pire one hundred millions of people.
On a war footing, the empire mus
tiers three millions of soldiers. What
is the percentage The swords
amount to three per cent of the
people. Ninety-seven per cent. of
the people are devoted to the purse
and to recuperative purposes. Let
us say, then, as we safely may, that
when the empire of Russia is on an
active war footing, with 1000
soldiers in the field, putting forth
her utmost power on hundred bat
tle-felds, only about three per cent.
of her population is under arms.
Min ety-seven per cent. are devoted
to arming, clothing, feeding, encour-
aging, paying, recuperating, bury
ing and replacing the soldiers. One
half Of the mcney-earDers and army
supporters in Russia are females !
One.half of the incomprehensibly-
powerful military arm of the Rus
sian empire rests on the hearts and
bones and sinews of women. What
is tue of Russia is true of Germany,
of France, of England and of Amer
lea. Behind every body of armed
troops in the field there must be an
adequate supporting population.
This is the rule and history of the
modern, half barbarous war power.
One.half of any national population
may be reckoned female. Every
loom and spindle run by women and
pale faced girls is "war power"
Napoleon beat the armies of CONT
mental Euro pc, but was sent into
exile by the spindles and looms of
the British Islands, mainly operated
by female hands. Mr.. Allison at
tributes Eugland's wonderful success
to the "persevering industry of the
British people and the extent of the
commerce which they maintained in
every quarter of the globe" and to
their admirable system of finance
which seemed to rise superior to
every difficulty" In short, England
conquers with the purse more than
by the sword. The purse is fed and
sustained by the women and nom
cambatants of the empire. The
sword is scarcely one per cent. of
her inexhaustible war power. The
Duke of Wellington and the might
est generals OF the continent could
only hold Napoleon in check. The
women and girls of Manchester cap
