WOMEN FOX THE MINES.
Party of Twenty Formed at Chicago
to Make the Journey to
Dawson

CHICAGO. ILL, Aug. 3l.-A club OF
twenty women has been organized in Chi
cago to make start for the Klondike gold
fields on the first boat which goes through
in the spring. Miss Florence King, attor-
ney, is the organizer of the club, which
will shortly be incorporated. Miss King
declares that women OF nearly every &C.
cupation will be among the twenty.
Their names, however, are still Kept Sc
cret Ihe life of the club will end when
the Klondike is reached. After thai each
mem Der can go her own way.
Besides going into business, if openings
exist, the women intend to take up
claims, and if possible mine them. They
declare, through their leader, tina. they
go primarily as miners. If their caliings
offer more lucrative reward, they will
adopt them i'll preference to the pick, but
not until after giving mining a trial.
Miss King insists that every member of
the club shall start with at least $1,000. A
few married women will go with the club,
leaving their husbands behind. If the
wives prosper, the husbands will give up
their positions and follow them, thus re-
versing early pioneer methods.

finished with that State he took up West
Virginia. West Virginia, he said, had
more government to the square inch than
any Stats in the Union, and that meant
less liberty. The IS government the
more liberty-the only perfect govern
ment was no government at all. In con-
clusion Mr.. Debs said:
MY friends, assist yourselves TO en-
force your cause. Let every man who can
be as good as his word stand erect.
Nearly every delegate in the convention
rose to his feet and cheered the speaker.
One or two substitutes for the last two
blanks in the platform were introd uced,
but not adopted.
The chair appointed Messrs. Mahon,
Debs, Sovereign. Donnelly and O'Con-
nell c committee to arrange for the
Chicago convention, and informed the
convention that any money intended as
con tributions to the striking miners
should be sent to Secretary Pearce OF the
United Nine workers at Columbus, Ohio.
Mr. Mahon offered a resolution calling
on the miners now at work in Missouri,
Iowa. Kansas, Kentucky and other fields
to quit work, and dencuncing them as
enemies to human liberty SO long as they
continued their present course.
Notwithstanding the convention early
in the morning had declined to act on
President Ratchford's resolution request
ing President Mckinley to convene Con-
gress for the purpose of defining the
authority of JUDGES in the matter of in
functions, q resolution to that effect, but
authorizing the chairman of the conven-
ton to ask Mr.. Mckinley to act in that
direction, introduced by NJ. D. Ryan, the
