THE BALLOT FOR WOMEN,
Discussion of the Subject by the League
of Practical Progress.

Discussion of the Subject by the League
of Practical Progress.
The League of Practical Progress met in
the Builders Exchange last evening, and
considered the question of woman's suf-
frage, among other things.
John Reynolds opened the discussion
with the statement that, however right
and just the claim of woman upon the bal
lot in the present and the near future, the
granting of the privilege is neither wise
nor expedient. The country, he said, is in
too critical condition to suddenly double
its voting population.
F. w. Lynch thought that the only ques-
ton to consider was if the demand of the
women was based on justice; he thought
it certainly was, and he believed they
should be given their right and let the con-
sequences settle themselves.
Rev. John Scott followed him in much
the same line of thought, and after few
more speeches the. opinion of the league
was registered in favor of the ballot for
woman

sen, in which Simonsen was convicted of the
crime of obtaining property under false pre-
lenses, the Supreme Court yesterday reversed
the Judgment of the lower court, and the
cause was remanded for a new trial No briefs
were filed in the case. The reversal was on
the ground that the evidence was insufficient
to support the verdict.

ST. CLAIR RESPITED.
The Date for His Execution Postponed
Until the Middle of Next
October.


Bv order of the President a respite has
been granted to Thomas st. Clair, con-
demned to die next Friday, until October
49, The following telegram relating to the
matter was received by Marshal Baldwin
yesterday morning:
WASHINGTON, D. c., May %, 1895.
Baldwin, United States Marshal, San Francisco,
Col: In case Thomas st. Clair further respite
granted until Friday, October Is, 1895. Ac-
knowledge this telegram
OLNEY, Attorney General.
A similar telegram was sent to United
States District Attorney Foote.
The cause of the Presidents clemency is
generally attributed to the fact that Han
sens case is still pending in the United
States Supreme Court and that it has been
thought best to give st. Clair the benefit of
the expected decision in the case of his part
ner in crime. In the meanwhile st. Clair s
friends are working hard to have his SEN
tence committed and they fully expect to
succeed before October brings around the
fatal day.

RELIEVED OF HIS WATCH.
BROWN ENCOUNTERED HIGHWAT ROBBERS ON WATER STREET.

His Watch and Thirty-seven Dollars stolen
 Supposed to Have Been Given Drugged
 Liquor-Two Men Arrested on Suspicion
 Was Seen With Them Before the Robbery. Shortly after o'clock last evening Harry A. Brown, son of eX-Councilman Anson K Brown, who was killed on Kimberly avenue last summer by an electric car was brought into police headquarters by Patrolman Richard T. Moore, who found him on Union street in an almost helpless condition He had apparently been drinking and appeared to be helplessly intoxicated.
 When he was brought to the desk, however, he revived somewhat and told Sergeant Mcbride, who was in charge, that he had been robbed of $S7 in money and a gold watch by some men on Water street. When he was searched prior to being placed in the lookup his watch was missing and he had but $121 in his possession. After stating that he had been robbed, he relapsed into a semi-conscious condition and remained so until a late hour this morning.
 Patrolmen Watrous, Gilligan and o. J, Daley were immediately detailed upon the case and shortly before mid night they arrested William Coe and Edward J. Healy and locked them up on suspicion of being implicated in the affair. These men, both of whom have police records, were seen to enter saloon on State street with Brown about 9 o'clock, where they had sev- eral drinks together. At that time Brown had his money and his watch. After leaving the saloon the trio pro ceeded up George street, closely fol- lowed by two other men.
 After questioning both the accused separately they were locked up and the officers again went out in search of other persons whom they learned were connected with the affair. When searched at police headquarters neither Coe nor Healy had any money nor was the watch found in their possession It is understood that both men acknowl- edged being with Brown, but denied all knowledge of the crime.
 Up to late hour this morning Brown had not sufficiently recovered to be able to give any coherent account of what befell him. It it believed. how ever that Brown was kept piled with liquor and it is also thought that some of it may have been drugged, This is thought to be all the more probable owing to the fact that Brown was such a long time recovering from the effects ,+ h.,
 Up to a late hour this morning no other arrests had been made in connec- ton with the case.

AssAU AULrED 4 WOMAN.
Tramp Arrested Charged With Most
 Heinous Offense.

George H. Mckay, who claims to live in Providence, and is one of the army of tramps which infest this city, was ar rested yesterday by Sergeant Cowles and Patrolman Tighe and locked up, charged with a heinous crime, The complainants against him are E. D.. Benedict and Mrs Jennie Benedict, who reside at 261 George street
 Yesterday afternoon about 4:3O o'clock Mckay called at Mrs. Benedict's house and asked for something to eat! She allowed him to come into the house and gave him some coffee and bread. Me Kay sat down at the table, but did not eat anything. Suddenly he jumped from the table and attempted an in- decent assault upon Mrs. Benedict
 Mrs. Benedict's screams brought as- sistance, and the f1end made his escape. He did not, however, succeed in getting very far away, and later made two in- effectual attempts to enter the house. Again, about 5;SO o'clock, he knocked at the door. In the meantime MT. Benedict had returned from his work, and he opened the door, There again stood Mckay. Benedict struck the fellow in. the face, and the fiend in human form turned and dashed down George street, closely pursued by Benedict. The lat ter threw bricks at the fugitive, but did not hit him,
 The chase continued down George street and into Temple. At the corner of Temple and Oak street Mckay turned and faced his pursuer, and at tempted to knock him down. At this juncture Sergeant Cowles and Officer Tighe rushed up and arrested both men. As soon as Benedict regalned his breath he told the detective his story,and was immediately released from custody and Mckay taken to the lookup.
 McKayis charged with assault and beg ging. It is probable that the latter charge will be nolled, as the other charge is of sufficient nature to send him to state prison for ten years. He has been bothering the residents of vary BapllSl nome anu otHei iustlCutiohs for several days past. Similar attempts have been made in two other parts of the city, which have been reported to the police, and are now being investi- gated It may turn out that Mckay has been the mlscreant in all cases. Mckay was held without bonds, and will be arraigned in the city court this morning
