can be made until the Senate

this connection the names Of Mr Horn

mentioned That New York ought TO

ceded There is little doabt now that
Mr. Hornbower could be confirmed, as
II Is well known that Senator Hill has
expressed himself as being willing TO
vote for him In case his name should
again be sent to the Senate
The name OF Senator George Gray will,
Of course, come TO the front again. His
refusal TO accept the State Department
portfolio to succeed Mr.. Gresham was
based on his desire to eventually 60 on
the Supreme Bench. His term Ia the
Senate will expire in 1897, and as his ap

may be that he would prefer to run the

such proceeding could not be brought
about without meeting Of the Board OF
Directors. A meeting OF the Board Of
Directors has never besn held for that
purpose, as was stated by q morning
paper to-day.
There WAS a meeting Of women Inter
ested in the Y. w. @. A., on last Monday
night, but II was composed Of the
executive committee ana only few mem

dent OF the board, Mrs. ] r Milligan the
secretary, Miss Downey, and Mrs
George S Oapelle, Mrs 4. Allan Hiles,
Mrs. sAvory. Mrs Charles Rowland and
Mrs. 4. Warner, the most rominent
members, were, and are still out of town,
and Il has been rumored that the meet

those who would assume the manage

mesting resolutions we're offered express
Ing dissatisfAotion with the manner In
which the affairs Of the association are
conducted, and especially with the
method OF Mrs J R Milligan n, the prssi
dent.
As matter Of fact, the Y. w. o A.
owes It's existence In this city to Mrs
Nilllgan. She worked for its organ'zi-
tion with tlrslsss and uncsasing energy,
and since has contributed much OF her
time to the welfare OF the association
Through her efforts the Warren club

The attendance has fallen od. but that

Arrangements we're under way TO secure
rates for the girls who wished TO spend
their vacations at the seashore. and
plans were being formulated for the
Winter courses
So far ~ had been known up to the
present time, the only element OF discord
Was the presence of the mAtron now In
charge, Mrs Green, and her hus
band, Mr.. Green. Mrs Green wished
to hold undisputed authority at the
building, and Mr. Green yielded her bis
ardent support In the matter To this
the managers naturally objected, but
expected to remedy matters by the early
removal OF Mrs Green, and her husband,
Mr. Green
SO the matter now rests until the
return Of the prominent members OF the
Board OF Directors Of the association.
