Delegation Calls on the Senate Suffrage
Mr.. PETER Present, to Whom They Make
Their Talk in a Five Minute Composite
Henry IL. blackwell Makes Himself
Offensive to MIR Henderson of Tennes-

tering to the South.

Washington, Jan. 2s.-The senate
marble romo was completely filled to-
day by a delegation Of ladies from the
National Equal Suffrage association,
who appeared before the senate com
mittee on suffrage to present a plea for
recognition at the ballot box.
Senators Call and PETER were the only
members Of the committee present.
The speakers were presented by Dr.
Anna Shaw They represented the
leading lights of the suffrage cause In
eighteen states. Among them were Ju-
! liza B. Nobson Of Missouri and Helen NJ.
Lewis of Oklahoma None OF the speech
es were of more than tive minutes dura-
ton. The speakers all dwelt upon the
right of the female sex 10 a partici-
patton with men in shaping leglsleZ>1n
4nd almost all of them referred 10 the
injustice of taxing women without al
lowing them TO vote.
The delegation also visited the judi
ciary house committee and made speech
es. The speakers were introduced by
Susan B. Anthony and were: Mrs.
Hughes, wife of Governor Hughes of
Arizona; Florence B. StetsOn of Cali
fornia. Kate Addison of Kansas, Anna
3. Simmons of South Dakota, Emily
Richards of Utah, Jessie Manley of
West Virginia.
There was an interesting episode
while Mr.. Blackwell of Boston was
said that the best arguments he had
speaking. Chairman Henderson had
found against suffrage was that a, ma
jority of the women did not want il. Mr..
Blackwell replied TO this and declared
that women were deprived of their con-
stitutiOnal rights. Some one inquired If
a majority of the slaves had wanted
suffrage before it was given them, and
Mr.. Blackwell in replying remarked
that the southern states had no free
schools, until the carpet bag legis-
latuTe had established them
MIR. Washington of Tennessee answer
ed Indignantly, that is not true" and
he then named several southern states
which had free school systems. Then
Mr. Washington said: "Why don't you
let the women plead their own cause?"
AS to the Emancipation of slaves, he
Washington was in favor of it, and
the young men of the south would not
return TO the older order Of things if
they could. The free schools of the
south would be more prosperous today,
he said, if the carpetbaggers had not
robbed the country of SO many mil
lions.

NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
Some New and Striking Additions In La
dies Costumes.


A very attractive costume is of priest
ley silk warp cameI's hair in black.
The skirt is plain, but open at either
side of the front breadth. Into this is
set a panel which IS n solid mass of
embroidery. From edge 70 edge of
the camers hair there are straps of
velvet with buckles. These form a
group near the lower edge of the skirt.
The short basque has a very full skirt,
with vest of embroidery and straps
of velvet. There is a very high collar
turned over and extending almost 20
the sleeve tops; the leg-o-nutton
sleeves have straps of velvet from the
arm-holes over the fullness of the
sleeves 10 the wrist, where they end in
Email loops.
A new sleeve is made in narrow sec
tionS. The top is cut somewhat on
the principle Of the old-fashioned
melon pin-cushions that used to be so
popular. These sections are set to-
gether, and the extension Of them,
which run very narrow, makes the cuff.
In some cases pieces are double
stitched on the outside. Others have
scraps of velvet or braid stitched over
the seams, and others are corded. The
latter, however. is not as much liked
as either the plain-stitched OF the vel
vet or braid.

AZ consumers make spring purchases they

The stocks taken In advance OF consumers

far more slowly than was expected, hut
months OF waiting has helped TO lessen the
load which, it is hoped, spring buying will
clear away.
Apprehensions of foreign or financial diff
fculties have hindered. but are now scarcely
felt. Gold exports are rumored, but at this
season are so far natural that they have no
such power TO cause alarm n they had in

expected to have great influence In sustain

though such operations often miss tn" sue
cess they seek. they rarely fail to kindlc
speculative buying for time. The sudden
advance OF s2 "A ton In billets week ago has
raised Bessemer pig II nj Pittsburg and the
