PARTISAN WON ANS CONGRESS

All else has paled in Paris this week
before the attractions of the inter-
national wOmanS congress. There has
scarcely been a dull moment in the four
days session, whereas, had the partici-
pants been mere men. the proceedings
would have been insufferably boresome.
The only hour of harmony was when
the delegates from Great Britain. the
united States, Germany, Belgium and
sother countries were introduced at the
opening session.
=. The real interest began when it was
proposed to elect Nine. Pognon chair
woman. This provoked an emphatic
portest from Nine. Leonie Roujade, the
we'll known obstructionist. She said
there were learned ladies present who
had better right to preside than Nine.
Pognon, who only kept lodging house.
I'VE are all Socialists here" cried
Nine. Pognon's supporters. Our chair
woman keeps a family house near the
Arc de Triomphe. and she's as good as
feminine doctor any day."
Nine. Potonie Pierre tried to quell the
rising storm and called the obstruction
ist to order.
Don't insult me-" exclaimed Nine.
Roujade. My husband is here. He's
a municipal councillor"
This caused another outburst, amid
which the words "the husband, the hus-
band" sung to revolutionist air. could
be distinguished. Another proposal
was then made to elect as president
the oldest delegate present. No one
came forward for the honor on these
terms, and it seemed as if the question
of years had soothing effect on the ex-
cited feelings of those present. At last
Nine. Pognon was voted to the chair
and looked rather pale and worried as
she took her seat.
These Jealous women have debated
every subject under heaven with wo-
man in it.
A venerable lady was correcting some
of the views of Doctress Potone Pierres s
husband when NJ. Robin an eccentric
free thinker, came forward from the
wings in cycling costume and took

practicable, be drawn from that part of
the ship where their association has al

To secure the ability of the watch on
deck to clear away all the guns of the
main battery on the menaced broadside,
and all of those whose arc of fire is prac-
tically the same on both sides of the line

are drawn from the starboard watch,

both sides of the keel Is allowed full

A gun and its opposite, on the same
deck. each of which is on a fixed pivot
and has it's arc of fire limited practically
to one side of the keel, constitute pair,
and have together one full crew.
Every gun of the secondary battery is
allowed a full crew, made up, as far as
is practicable, from an equal number
of men from each watch.
Where supernumeraries are available
they should preferably reinforce the
crews which are assigned to pairs of
guns.
During a chase full crews are to be

Provision is made for manning all the
guns by dividing the single crews sta

AS to rapidity of fire, each pair Of the
thirteen-inch rifles can be fired at once
every three minutes, ana each pair Of
the eight-inch guns once every minute
The siX-inch rifles can be fired twice a
minute, and the siX-pounders twenty
times a minute.
The ship has thi1ty-SiX magazines and
needs them all. In an engagement last

be emptied at this rate, providing that
the ship kept up a fun rate of fire from

A slow burning powder of the brown
hexagonal type is used in the main bat
terry guns, and finer grained powder is
employed for bursting charges in their
shells. The bursting charge for thir-
teen-inch shell is fifty pounds: that for
an eight-inch is twelve pounds. while the
siX-inch missiles are loaded with four

BRYAN breaches THE TRUTH
OF THE SILVER CAUSE.
Open the Mills without Money In the
Pockets Of People with which TO Buy
Their Products and They Would Close
Very Quickly.

From the 1s7th speech made by Mr..
Bryan we take the following lines:
Our opponents tell US to open .he
mills. What Is the use Of opening the
mills unless people can buy what the
mills produce. You make pianos and
organs here. but you don't make them
to play on In the factories. You make
them for people to play on In their
homes. How can people buy pianos
and organs unless they can sell their
farm products for more than enough to
pay taxes and interest on their debts!
(Applause) You can open all the fac
tories you will, but unless you put
enough money in tha farmers pockets
to buy products. you might rs well
close your factories.
Prosperity never came down to the
people from the money changers of
any country ON the face of the earth.
(Cheers) Have your taxes fallen any
In the last 20 years! AS rule. they
are higher. II the price Of your pro-
ducts is cut In two. you must work
twice as hard to pay the same amount
OF taxes a. you used to. The gold
standard means half time in the fac
tories and double time on the farms to
make the same amount Of money. 1t
means half time In the factories be-
sause there Is not work enough for
the people to be employed full time.
and 1t means double time on the farm
to make living. Make times . little

There is universal prostration Of

honest, and will not favor repudiation.
There are fewer fools and perhaps
fewer critical scholars than in some

orderly, liberty-loving people. Though
millions are unemployed. most desire
