when took cold. began taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla and used FIVE bot

Republican caucus. The COMMITTEES are
expected 10 be announced this week.
Rumors about the craftsmanship of the
ways and means committee are numer-
Gus. One Of them is that Mr.. Dingley
will not be given the position, because
that would be giving Maine undue prom
inenee in congress. With Mr.. Frye
president pro tea of the senate, Mr..
Reed speaker Of the house, Mr.. Dingley
chairman OF the committee on WAYS and
means and therefore leader If the house
majority, Mr.. BOutelle chairman of the
naval committee and Mr.. Milliken Of the

nent. And there Is no reason except
the locality reason why they shouldn't

any washer before, believing that 1t

CUBA'S OPPORTUNITY.

1t must he gratifying to the American
public to learn that hencetorth the gov

seizing vessels, suspected by the Spanish
minister OF carrying expeditions or mu-
nitions OF war. at that diplomats dicta-
ton. The fact that this has been done
SO long and that all the resources OF the
revenue marine service. aided from
time to time by the naval forces, have
done the Spaniard's bidding, has been
rather humiliating to the national pride
and irritating to the people whose sym
pathies were all the other way. Nobody
wants the government to fall short in
the observance OF its treaty Obligations,
but It's action ought to be the result
dictum of a foreign diplomat. That much
has now been promised.
Enough is known 10 give assurance that,
whether President Cleveland touches upon
the matter or not, resolutions win be
introduced soon after the organization
of the House of Representatives and soon
after the meeting of the Senate, directing
the President to recognize the Cuban in
surgents as belligerents. Such action is
fully warranted, not only because it is
in response to the expressed wishes OF
the American people, but on account OF
the rapid progress the Cuban rev ofI-
tionists are making. Whatever protest
may be made by Spain need not be taken
in consideration, inasmuch as we would

AN INTERESTING PERMIT.

Everybody In Washington that has either
electric or gas light bills to pay viii be In
terested in the fact that a permit has been
granted the p otomac Power and Light Com
pany to do something which its rival, the
United States Electric Lighting Company
declares Will enable it to furnish electric
lights anywhere In the District. This would
break the United States Company's mouup-
oily, also its exorbitant prices, and for that
reason naturally the latter corporation Is
getting ready for a fight to keep the Po-
tomac Company from extending its service.
Just because of this, however, the people
of Washington will bid the Potomac Com
paBy come on.
1t is a matter of considerable Importance
to the present monopoly. For instance, the
District now pays something like $50
year for every arc light. Now it is known
from the experience of other cities that
one of these lights can be furnished at .
handsome profit for about $3S a year.
Competition would have the effect of bring
ing down the price and lessening the profits
of the present company very considerably,
even though tbelowest possible figure might
not be reached at once. By the same token

business houses and private residences would

woMAN's PROG GREss IN EUROPE

WOMAN'S PROGRESS IN EUROPE.
A three-iiBe cableeram from Vienna
conveys news that is alike evidence that
the new woman's era is dawning in
Europe as well as In this country. and that
old prejudices are giving way to new
IDEAS and new practices. Emperor Fran
els Joseph has accorded women the privi-
iege Of studying medicine In the uni
versities OF Hungary. His liberality is
in striking contrast to the refusal OF the
Prussian government to permit the women
Of that country TO enter its universities,
although il has permitted American women
to do SO. 1t is not surprising to learn
that German women are indignant over
this unjust discrimination.
The admission of women to European
universities is nothing new. The old
italian institutions were always open to
them. Bologna has given the doctors
diploma to many a woman, and they were
free to engage in any branch of study that
their inclination dictated The signifi-
canoe OF the Austrian monarch's action,
therefore. lies rather IN the comparison
it invites between his realm and those OF
other European rulers, and especially with
the United States. 1t is in the nature OF a
Interrogation mark. Are not the women
OF the United States as fit to enter upon
professional careers, and are they not
as fully entitled to do so by reason OF
natural intelligence and careful training,
as are those of Austria a-Hungary? Why
should opportunities be denied them that
are within the reach of their European
sisters?
Some American universities, 1t is true,
have opened their doors to women for the
study of certain professions, but still deny
them almittaDce to others. There ap-
pears to be particular Objection TO permit
women to study medicine. There are, OF
course, medical colleges where women only
are admitted, but these are not the very
best. Harvard and Yale, and our own George
town and Columbian and others with them.
eay to tue women OF the country: You
cannot enter here"
Why? Because 1t would pecessitate the
ST tudying together OF men and women.
Yet. women are trained as nurses, and they
assist al surgical operations, which test
their nerves as much as would the dissect-
ing room. There is no good reason why
our American universities should not fol-
low the example set them by the Emperor
OF Austria

That Anacostia Trolley.

Editor Times: In The Morning Times of
Tuesday l am quoted as making state
mcnt that hir. GrIswold. president of the
AnacoStia Railroad, intended 10 have in
troduced in Congress this coming session
a bill to allow him to operate an overhead
trolley from Anacostia to Third street
and Missouri avenue northwest. Mr.. Girls
void never said anything of the kind to
me, nor have / said SO to your reporter.
A short time ago Mr.. Griswold in a
circular to the public promised rapid
transit system In the near future. but as
to how he was to secure il, and whether 1t
would be overhead or an underground sys-
tenn, he did not state. ,r--i
1t is common report that syndicates
organized outside of the District OF Column
bia will try at the coming session of Con-
gress to revive the overhead trolley here.
If they succeed, / think Ii is more than
likely that the Anacostia road VIII ask for
the same privilege. but / do not say this
as coming from any one. The people of
Anacostia want rapid transit. and want
it bad. If we can't get anything better,
we would be satisfied with an overhead
trolley j. G. LEONARD.
