ENGLISH PRESS COMMENT.

London, Dec. 17.-All of the morning
papers tomorrow will devote more or less
of their editorial space to a discussion
of President Cleveland's message on the
Venezuelan question and to the merits of
the message itself.
The Times says:
Convinced as we are that rupture
between the two great English speaking
communities would be calamity not
only to themselves but to the civilized
world, we are nevertheless driven to the
conclusion that the concessions this
country is so impcrously summoned to
make are such as no self-resDecting Ma
ton. least of all one ruling an empire
that has it's roots in every quarter of the
globe, could possibly submit to. The
United States themselves would never
for a moment dream of yielding to this
kind of dctation. We are of the same
our National honor. We can hardly
believe that the course threatened by
President Cleveland would be adopted by
the American government but if so it
would be to protest"
The Times contends that England is
bound to resist the extended claim of
Monroeism and says:
"A power which has command of the
sea does not regard 5000 miles of inter-
vening ocean as severing it from its sub
jects."
The Standard Conservative says:
''The position President Cleveland as
sumes is preposterous. There can he
but one answer: We decline to humli-
ate ourselves and we refuse to accept
the decision of Washington in matters
altogether outside of its jurisdiction"
The remainder of the Standards ar
ticle is an echo of Lord Salisburv's ar
gument. and it concludes by saying
'Great Britain will require(0 the de-
mand as Indignantly as congress would
if America were asked to submit her
title to Alaska TO the judgment of i'm
partial umpires."

THE SENATE.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE president s
message on the Venezuelan question oc-
cupied most of the attention of the SEN
ate during its brief session. Secretary
Cox read the message amid intense
silence. the senators following with
great interest. The reading was no
sooner concluded than demonstration
occurred almost unparalleled in the
upper branch of congress. sena-
tors on both sides of the chamber joining
in their expressions of approval by long
continued hand clapping. The mes
sage and accompanying documents were
at once referred to the committee on
foreign relations and beyond the read
ing of the document no debate or refer
ence to it occurred during the session.
Many memorials concerning the Cuban
rebellion and the Turkish massacres
were presented.
Mr. Call of Florida offered resolu-
ton to investigate alleged election ir-
Irregularities in Florida.
At this point the message of the presi-
dent was received.
Mr.. Morgan, chairman of the commit
tee on foreign relations, moved that the
senate go into executive session, which
was agreed to.
As the reading ceased there was hearty
hand clapping from all quarters of the
chamber, Mr.. Chandler (Rep.) of New
Hampshire leading in the demonstration
on the Republican side. Veterans of
the senate say it was the most sponta-
neous demonstration in their recollection,

THE HOUSE.

of the house was mainly absorbed today
in a debate of the Republican plan to
bers each to deal with election contests
it's interests was given also to the presi-
dents message. The debate on the cleo
ton complaint was fruitful of partisan
discussion of election methods in the
house and the Republican policy of deal
ing with contests in the Fifty-frst con-
gress. The principal speakers were
Cannon of Illinois, Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania, johnson of Indiana and Powers
of Vermont, all Republicans. and Crisp
of Georgia, Bartlett of New York,
Wheeler of Alabama and Bailey of Tex
as, Democrats. The plan was adopted
by party vote.
The presidents message was laid on
the speakers desk until late in the after
noon, when it was read and received
with enthusiasm by members of both
parties.
At the close of the reading of the presi-
dents message Mr.. Crisp arose to his
feet with bill.
Mr.. Dingley moved to adjourn until
tomorrow and il was carried.
The bill which Mr.. Crisp tried to
offer was:
Be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives, in congress as
sembled. that the sum of 100000 be,
and the same is hereby appropriated to
pay the expenses of a commission to be
appointed by the president to investi-

WIDE TIRES.

Everybody interested In good reads will
probably hear something to their advan-
tage il they attend the meeting of the
RhndeL Ialand- Improxemeut- Association
which is down for tomorrow afternoon
at 3 at the N%arsgansett Hotel.
The topic for discussion is wide tires.
The question Of tires has always been a
stumbling block in road legislation. II
had much to do with defeating the first
batch of road acts put into our own As
sembly several years ago., and was reject
ed from the valuable road laws passed
by the last Assembly. In the progress of
road reform the importance Of wide tires
has not yet been impressed upon our
agricultural friends with sufficient force
to convince. We have no doubt that
W it'll the building Of good roads, the alb
solute necessity Of proper tires will i'm
press Itself without any argument.
Eeanwhile Il is In the interest OF econo-
my and OF good roads to have the tire
feature understood and approved as early
as practicable. And il is in the line OF
missionary work that this meeting Is to
be held. Hon. GEORGE A. PERKrSs.

PIONEER OF EQUAL RIGHTS.

Tomorrow is the s0th birthday OF Mrs.
| ELIZABETH CApY STANTON, . notable
woman.
Mrs. STANTON is descended from
| Puritan and Scotch stock. The death Of
an only brother is said to have resulted
in her Gym determination to I'LL a boys
| place in the family. Sac studied the
| classics and mathematics sixty years ago,
quite like a new woman of today, and
from the time of her discovery that the
cutting of obnoxious laws from her
fathers law books did not abolish them
she has teen a persistent crusader at the
gates of Legislatures and Congress seek
ing the repeal of some OF mems laws and
the enactment of legislation extending
the suffrage.
For half a century Mrs. STANTON has
iabored INCREASINGLY for woman suf-
rage She has WRITTEN the larger pert of
the addresses and arguments made be-
fore the New York State Legislature and
the Congress of the United States. She
has written nearly all of what might be
called estate papers" for the movement,
and Is largely the editor Of the three huge
volumes, containing nearly a thousand
pages each, entitled, "Tbe History OF
Woman Suffrage" Her first noteworthy
public effortwas an address at a hearing be-
fore a committee OF the New York Legisla-
ture on the subject OF the Married Woman
Property bill. Her account of the prepa-
ratious she made for her appearance be-
fore the Legislators at Albany is interest
ing. 81 would COUP into the garrett"
she said, "and rehsesrse my speech every
day." Her father heard that she was,go-
ing to address the Legislature, and was
incensed thereat, hut she pleaded her cause
SO earnestly that She won him over.
Finally the momentous day arrived.
This was way back in 1s4s. Mrs. STAN
ToN spoke to a crowded house. Her
speech lasted two hours, and when she
was through she was warmly congratu-
lated by her hearers. Shortly afterwffd
she had the satisfaction of seeing the
Married woman's Property pill become a
law.
In that same year the first woman's
suffrage convention ever held was called
by Mrs. STANTON and others, and resolu-
tions setting forth q list OF grievances
were made out. The convention was the
subject of no end OF ridicule, and the
women identified with 1t were referred
to as "cross old maids''-albeit Mrs.
STANTON herself was the mother OF sons
at the time.
The birthday OF this noble octogenarian
tomorrow will doubtless be remembered
by thousands and thousands Of women
and men, too. One organization of
women is going to give Mrs. STANTON a
night dress of white silk-a proposition
that has created 3 good deal of comment,
but Mrs. STANTON declares she considers
the present appropriate and will be glad
to have 1t and put it on.
