TALK OF EDUCATION.
THE WOMEN'S NATIONAL COUN'
GIL.
Reform Observation-Disclosures
ism and Polite. Considered.-Kinder-
gartnors Have the Floor.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Woman's work
in patriotism and politics occupied yes
terday's session Of the National Council
of Women. Many Of the papers en-
bodied suggestions for improved meth
DDS of teaching the young and in the
various phases of female education.
The fraternal greetings of the National
Council of Women of Canada were pre-
sented by Mrs. Willoughby Cummings
of Ontario. The opening address was
made by DIR. Julia Holmes Smith Of
Illinois. whose paper was read by Mrs.
Clara Bemick Colby of Washington.
Women as directors in education was
the theme of Mrs. Louise T.. Parsons
Hopkins of Boston. Notable women,
she said, have founded and conducted
large movements in philanthropic, So
cial and religious reforms and contrib
uted their magnetic personality to ed
ucatiOnal progress.
Elmira S. Taylor of Utah, president
of the Young Ladies' National Mutual
improvement Association, and Isabel
King of South America, patron of the
Council, and Mary II. Hunt of Massa-
chusetts opened the discussion on this
subject, following which Caroline Il.
White of Pennsylvania, an anti-vivi-
sectionist, made plea for humanita-
rianism in education. Reviews Of the
patriotic and political work by repre-
sentatives of the Women's Relief
Corps, National Association Of Loyal
Women of American Liberty and
Nomen's Republican Association Of the
United States closed the days session.
The International Kindergarten
Union had the first section of the even
ing programme. Sarah A. Stewart pre-
sided and speeches We're made by Vir-
ginia Il. Greaff of Pennsylvania. Jessie
Il. Beers of New York, Jennie b. Nor
riIl of New York and Lucy Wheelock
of MASSACHUSETTS.
The second part of the programme
was devoted to government reform.
The following papers were read:
"Our Proper Attitude Toward Immi-
grafton" by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
of New York, read by Susan b. An
thony; "The Peril of Immigration" by
Mrs l. c. Manchester of Rhode island;
"Restriction Upon Immigration" by
Minerva Roberts OF Colorado. Mrs.
Stanton contended the question OF i'm
migration involved that of land mo-
nopoly, that there should be no owner
ship of land except by the man VINO
occupied it, his right ending with his
life and the land to revert at his death
to the state, unless his children desired
to occupy it on the same condition.
The value of his improvements should
be bequeathed to the family. Most Of
our political evils she attributed to the
annual influx of 100000 foreigners, and
she held that the naturalization laws
aS enforced are n traypSty.

WOLCOTT'S RESOLUTION.
sugEests an International Monetary Com
mission with Delegates to be
Rttifisd by the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 23.-A memorial
from the Idaho Legislature was pre-
sented to-day. protesting against the
pooling bills as "a plan TO place the
railroads in the hands of n vast syndi-
cate, and thus crush competition under
the iron heel of monopoly"
Mr.. Voorhees,, chairman Of the finance
committee, presented n comprehensive
resolution for an investigation by the
committee of the effect of the tariff
and internal revenue laws.
Mr.. Wolcott, Republican, of Colorado,
then came forward with an interesting
proposition authorizing the creation of
an American commission to act with
foreign countries should they take the
initiative in an international monetary
conference. The plan was offered ms
an amendment to the sundry civil serv-
ice bill now on the calendar and about
to be taken up. 1t is as follows:
"Whereas, The president of the
United States, upon the invitation of
Germany or Great Britain, or any of
the other governments Of Europe. shall
determine that this government shall
be represented at any international or
other conference to be held with
view to secure internationally fixity
of relative values between gold and sill
yer as money, by means of common
ratio between those metals, with free
mintage at such ratio, and lie shall be
authorized to request the attendance
of the commission to be appointed rs
hereinafter provided, so as to attend
such conference in behalf of the United
States.
"The number of such commissioners
shall be nine.
"The president of the United States
shall appoint by and with the consent
of the Senate, said commissioners prior
to the adjournment q the present con.
gress, three at least to be members of
the Senate and three of the House of
Representatives. If after the adjourn
ment of this congress there shall be
any vacancies in said commission, by
death, resignation or otherwise, such
vacancies shall be filed by appoint
ment by the president
The amendment makes available
100000 for the expenses of the com
mission.
at is satisfactory" said Mr.. Wolcott,
"tO those who vote for bimetallism,
and 1t should be satisfactory to those
gentlemen who vote against 1t and who
await with ravished eyes to see what
England will do"
He asked that the amendment go to
the finance committee.
Senator Wolcott's resolution, provid-
ing the manner In which an interna-
tional conference shall be appointed,
in case one Is to be appointed, Is be-
lieved by senators to stand good
chance of being adopted. His purpose
I'm introducing the resolution is to take
from the president the power Of filling
the commission with men unfriendly
to silver. Senator Wolcott thinks there
is no doubt that Senator Teller would
be chosen as one of the commission on
behalf of the Senate.

DR.. Day, the mineralogist expert of
the geological survey, says there is
plenty of gold in Alaska, and great
deal of money could be made there If
some company would undertake to fur
niSh transportation facilities for reach
ing the mines.
"On the Yucon river and its branches
and feeders there is plenty of placer
gold, and the farther you go up the bet
ter 1t gets, but there is no way to
reach that country except by crossing
the mountains on foot from Sitka or
by going up the Yukon river in the
spring, when it is clear of ice. A lit
tie steamer commences running every
year about April and makes regular
trips for the benefit of tourists and
miners until the water freezes up in
the fall; but owing to the rapids 1t is
able to go but a comparatively short
distance, and then the miners have
to get cauOes, dug-outs and other boats
and make the rest of the distance the
best they can. The current Is swif.
the journey Is slow and attended with
great danger. The miners carry sup
plies for the entire season. and If they
happen to meet with an accident they
are entirely dependent upon the gencr-

they can in the spring and stay as late
as they can in the fall, but they scarce
ly ever get more than six months
work out of the year. They make
good wages as rule, but there Is Il
great deal Of luck about it, and most
of the work Is done with no other ia
cilities than pick and pan. Occa-
sionally some proud and naughty cap
italist brings in n cradle, and his name
Is celebrated for enterprise all through
the camp. The winter is terribly cod
and long and drcary, and unless a man
is very well housed and has plenty Of
provisions he would not do well to re-
main in the camp after snow flies.
1.-Two or three years ago an English
man wintered way up the Yucon, but
he did not leave his cabin the entire
season. When he came away he swore
that the aurora borealis was not visi-
bic at the latitude OF the Yucon river
but 1t turned out that he had never
been out OF his cabin .and the windows
all looked the other way.

PENNSYLVANIA wants to bribe peo-
pie to put out forest fires. A clause
in new forestry bill now under con-
sideration at Harrisburg is as follows:
Livery person assisting to suppress
a forest fire when called on for such
service by firewarden shall be entitled
to payment at a daily rate not greater
than $1.50 per day, or proportionately
for parts of a day" The extrava
gance of the reward offered for the
dangerous work Of extinguishing for
est fires will be apt to excite a stam-
pede Of fire-fghters from other states
to the Keystone state. The man who
drafted the bill has probably never
