Seven Companies on Hand to Protect the
Loading of Ore.
MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept O. - Seven
companies of state troops are massed at
Ishpeming to protect the men brought
from outside points to operate the steam
shovels loading ore from the stock piles at
the mines for shipment. The strikers
made no effort to Interfere with the work,
but held an immense meeting The lead
ers counseled them to continue firm, but
not to undertake to prevent the mines from
shipping ore. During ohe day three steam
shovels were started with new men in
charge and guarded by the troops.
The men are as determined as ever not
to submit. This was shown at the meet
ing when the president of the miners
union, William Coad resigned after hav-
ing attempted to persuade the men to re-
turn to work on the terms offered by the
companies. After putting the case before
the men he asked for vote on the prop
osition to return to work 1t was voted
down with hardly dissenting voice
Coad then resigned as president of the
union. His resignation was promptly ac-
copied, and the treasurer of the union, a
man named Roberts, from Negaunee, who
represents the more radical element among
the strikers, was elected in his place

DECIDED AGAINST FEMALE SUFFRAGE.
Fair Citizens Cannot Vote at the Coming

Fair Citizens Cannot Vote at the Coming
Election in Utah.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Sept 2.-The supreme
court has decided that women cannot vote
at the coming election in November This
reverses the recent decision made by Judge
Smith at Ogden. The cases came up on
appeal in the suit of Sarah E. Anderson
against Charles Tyro, registration officer
at Ogden, involving the question of women
voting. Chief Justice Merritt rendered
the decision. He said Judge Rartch and
himself had arrived at a conclusion, Judge
Jing dissenting on the subject.
Mrs. Anderson had asked that her
name be placed upon the registration list.
Judge Merritt said the Edmunds-Tucker
law had not been repealed and would re-
main effective until statehood was
achieved. Section 2 of the enabling
act had extended the franchise among
males, but had not referred to females.
To allow females to vote would be in con-
flict with the act and was forbidden. There
had been stress laid upon the fourth Sec
ton of the enabling act where the "quali-
fled voters of the state were authorized to
vote.
In his view these qualified voters were
those qualified under existing laws and
the enabling act. There had hcen no in
tention on the part of the constitutional
convention to allow women to vote ut the
first election, in November next, but to
allow them to vote thereafter.

fered five resolutions for the unifcation of
local Democrats and the recognition of the
younger element, and all of them were de-
feated. Then he left the wigwam, fol-
lowed by twenty-five adherents. This is
the first split in Tammany's councils since
the recent reorganization.
The resolution adopted by Tammany
was sent to the State Democracy meeting,

pledged support TO the state ticket last
year, it was merely acknowledged. 1t was
decided to send contesting delegation to
the state Democratic convention.

The Child in Whose Honor the Univer-
sity of California Was Founded.
No prince or potentate, no founder Of
/ nation or emancipator of a race, was
ever honored with so magnificent a
monument as that which is being erect
ed to perpetuate the memory OF 49,
year-old boy at Palo Alto, about thirty
miles south of San Francisco, on the
coast division of the Southern Pacific
railroad. This child, the son of Leland
and Jane Lathrop Stanford, died some
years ago in Rome, while he was max
ing a tour Of Europe with his tutor.
His father and mother almost deif1ed
him, and dedicated one of the largest
fortunes that man has ever accumu-
lated entirely to the education of other
peoples children, who from this time
on forever are to render homage to his
name. Everything is preserved as he
left it. The room he occupied in tho
great villa, which has sheltered so
much wealth and luxury and gayety,
has never been disturbed. His play
things lie as he placed them when he
started away for a few months of pleas
ure. A toy railroad that was laid
across the lawn and through the shrub
berry to amuse him and give him
practical knowledge of the occupation
of his father, and that which he was
expected to follow, still lies there. Its
rusty rails are pathetic witnesses to
memory that must not be erased, and
a shed is pointed out in which the tiny
cars and locomotives. which cost thou
sands of dollars, are preserved. His
crude cabinet of curios, marked with
his boyish hand, is the nucleus of a
$l0OO,OO0 museum, $500 acres Of the
best farming land in America, the finest
stock farm in the world, with seventeen
or eighteen high-bred horses, 5000
| acres Of vines, valuable real estate in
the city of San Francisco, thousands
Of througbred cattle and personal prop
erty, which has been inventoried at
| $1S,000000 for taxation, but is believed
to be worth much more, has been placed
n the hands Of board of trustees, who
are to erect university to be called
by his name and lend the influence Of
/ the child in shaping the character and
J developing the manhood and the wom-
anhood of generations that are to come.
/ His bones lie in a stately mausoleum
| erected in a conspicuous place upon the
campus, and those of his father were
| lately placed beside them with great
| ceremony and sorrow. A niche re-
mains for the mothers casket, when the
death angel calls her name. Then the
great bronze doors are to be sealed, the
key is to be melted, and the dust that
is sheltered by the massive walls is to
lie undisturbed until the last trumpet
sounds, for the Stanford family will be
extinct.
