An Interesting Talk Before the WO-

An Interesting Talk Before the WO-
mans Indian Association.
The Washington Auxiliary of the Wo-
mans National Indian Association, of
which Mrs. A. G. Wilkinson is president,
and Mrs. Sally K. Alexander is acting sec
rotary, held a meeting this morning at the
Ebbitt. After the transaction of the rou-
tine business an interesting address was
delivered by Miss C. B. Pond on the Pueblo
Indians of Zuni. For a number of years
past Miss Pond has been teacher in the
school established among these people by
the Presbyterian board Of home missions,
and has, therefore, had an opportunity of
becoming acquainted with them. She was
accompanied by a native Indian girl, about
thirteen years Of age and a number of
specimens of the child'S skill in needle
work were examined with a great deal of
interest by the ladies. Miss Pond spoke of
the position of women among the Zunis
and said that the husband is not considered
as alone representing the family, but the
wife had distinct personality. She held
property which her husband could not in
terfere with, and the children belonged to
her. In speaking of the difference in this
respect the laws and customs of :he whites
showed, Miss Pond said that the Indian
concluded that women were not very high
ly regarded by the whites. She described
the houses of this particular Pueblo. which
consisted of a cluster, one house or more
properly rooms, being built Otto another,
and here the population of about Geo live d.
The streets for :he most part We're bull,
over and were consequently tunnels. The
ventilation of the houses, of course WAS
defective, and The filth of the place, she
said, was something indescriba BILE. Some
houses have been erected apart, and one
especially shows evidences of comfort aud
cleanliness, and this WAS the home of the
parents of two girls who had been educated
at the mission school.

Policeman Edward Jack of the third pre-
cinct had lively time last night when he
arrested Charles Owens and Alice johnson,
colored, for being disorderly On the street.
Owens had been drinking and he declined
to go with the officer without trouble.
When he resisted his female compan MON
came to his assistance, and during the
trouble the policeman's badge was torn
from his coat and his clothing was dis
figured. The prisoner, Owens, said he had
been drinking, and he hardly knew what
happened. He had never been arrested be-
fore on a charge of assaulting an officer,
but had been charged with other offenses.
Judge Miller said that while the assault
was more serious than the disorderly con-
duct, he thought the workhouse was the
proper place for him. He did not like the
idea of sending these men to Jail, where
they live in idleness, but he could not do
otherwise. A sentence of ninety days in
Jail was imposed, and he was fined $40, or
thirty days on the farm, for disorderly
conduct. The woman was fined So or
thirty days.

INDIANA REPUBLICANS
They Expect to Garry Both State and Ma
tional Tickets.
Ex-COngressmnn POsey Gives His
Views on the Situation-Presi-
Dental Preferences.

Ex-Congressman Posey of Indiana is in
town, and reports a very confident feeling
among hoosier republicans this year. They
expect to carry the state. both for the local
and the national ticket. Mr.. Posey is a
candidate for his party's nomination for
governor, and as such has familiarized him.
self with the existing political sentiment at
home
In his conversatio with a representative
Of The Star today Mr. Posey said
THE situation is best explained by the
fact that for the state offices to be filed
this year there are dozens of republican
aspirants, but very few of the other side
Some twelve or fifteen gentlemen are COM
peting for the republican nomination for
governor, while the democratic leaders are
shy about offering. Mayor Taggart of In
dianapolis, on the strength of his municipal
winning. was thought to be Slated for the
romjnation, but he seems disinclined to
make the race. Ex-Congressman Shivley is
mentioned, and may be selected. But the
gel eral feeling in the state is that this is
not going to be a good year for democrats"
What are the prospects of the election
of republican legislature and of repub
lican successor to Mr.. Voorhees?'
VERY good, indeed. The question Of ap-
portionment is still unsettled, but l think
the general tide in our favor insures us the
legislature along with the other prizes at
stake. The republican organization in the
state is excellent, and the prospects now
are that we shall sweep things in Novem-
ber."
IF the republicans carry the legisla ture
who is likely to succeed Mr.. Voorhees, in
the Senator
&c. W. Fairbanks of Indianapolis and
w. r. Mexican of Terre Haute are at pres
ent the most prominent candidates. Both
are strong men, with means and ability.
Other candidates may develop time
passes"
What is the feeling in the state about
General Harrison and the St. Louis NOM
ination?"
The Indiana republicans are very proud
OF General Harrison, and of the admirable
administration he gave the country
President They would support him for
another term in the White House with
enthusiasm. But they know that he does
rot desire another nomination, and they
consider. he considers, that his letter
on the subject takes him definitely out Of
the calculation. OF course, it would De
absurd for anybody to say that General
Harrison would decline the honor If the
ST Louis convention, through divisions
and deadlock, should turn to him and
put the standard again into mis- hands.
But that is not eXpected-iS not desired
by GeneI al HarriSon-and accordingly the
republicans of the state have made another
choice Ninety per cent of them for
William Mckinley. MIR. Allison and Mr..
Reed have many admirers among cur

now stand the demand is for Nc kinley.''

AN APPEAL ALLOWED,
MIR. Chnpman's Cnse to BE Taken Il
the Supreme Court.

Mr. Chnpman's Case to BE Taken to
the Supreme Court.
The Court OF Appeals today allowed an
appeal in the 81 ape of a writ of error to
the United States Supreme Court from its
decision rendered several days ago, affirm
ing the convictio of Mr.. Elverton R. Chap
man as a contumacious witness before the
Senate sugar trust investigating commit
tee.
The application for the allowance of the
writ of error was made in the Court of APP
peals by Mr.. Chapman's counsel yesterday
as reported in The Star, and Mr. Chief
Justice Alvey announced the decision of the
court today.
He explained that the court felt war
ranted in granting the writ because of
the following language used by the Su-
preme Court when it denied the application
of Mr.. Chapman fo- writ Of habeas cor
pus several months ago: I'VE have hereto
fore decided that this court has no appel
late jurisdiction over the judgment of the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
in criminal cases, or in hateas corpus; but
whether or not the judgment of the SUI
Freme Court of the District of Columbia
renewable in the Court of Appeals may be
reviewed ultimately in this court in such
cases where the validity of a statute of,
or an authority exercised under, the Unit
ed States, is drawn in question, we have, as
yet, not been called upon to determine"
To await the action CT the Supreme
Court. Mr. Chapman was directed to give
a bold of 5000. 1t is understood that the
government will move in the Supreme
Court to dismiss the appeal, and will con-
tend that writ Of error does not lie in
such a case. 1t is generally believed, how
ever, that the court will hear the case on
its merits, and will refuse to dismiss ii on
a mere technicality.
