WASHINGTON. TUESDAY, MAY IL.
A Most Unfortunate selection.

Is Senator Eugene Hale, OF Maine, the
authorized Administration mouthpiece on
the Cuban question? Throughout the
course of his speech yesterday Mr..
Hale's language was calculated, and
we do not doubt was intended, to con-
vey the impression that he was speak

Among other things he assumed to say
that the present Administration was deal

MEETING OF sUFFRAGISTS.
A Conference OF the National Associat ton to
BE Held in Chicago.

Chicago, November 1S.-Leading wo-
men suffragists of the country are ar
irving here to take part in the confer
ence of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association tomorrow and
Saturday. This conference will be
more than usually important, as the
cause has received some very decided
blows in the past year. In the way of
personal detection the withdrawal of
Miss Phoebe Couzins, of st. Louis, the
renowned lecturer and worker, was a
great blow Miss Couzins made the
loss more grievous by the manner of
her going out. She took occasion to
denounce the suffrage movement as
heartless and as founded more on the
desires of few women to exploit
themselves than to do good to their
sisters. The attack made by Miss Couz-
with, of New York, who few years
back ran for Mayor of Brooklyn, but
gave up suffrage work several years
ago. Mrs. Beckwith championed the
St. Louis lady and talked right out
in meeting" declaring that Miss Susan
B. Anthony had made an easy living
out of the movement for a generation
and had surrounded herself with a
coterie of women who had personal
interest in increasing the contribution
of the cause The attacks of Miss Couz-
ms and Mrs. Beckwith were indignant
ly repealed by the ladies high in the
movement
Legislatively, the year has not yield
ed any great suffrage points, but the
ladies claim to have gained step in
advance by working up a sentiment in
favor of admitting young women into
the National Guard of Georgia. The
suffragists are working hard but steal
thily, it is said, to enroll women among
the regular solidery, and thus be able
to answer the argument against suf-
frage, viz: that women ought not to
vote because they dent fight.
These and other phases of the pro-
gress of the cause will be discussed at
the conference. There will be both
day and evening sessions. Susan B.
Anthony and Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, of New York; Rev. Anna Shaw,
Philadelphia; Mary G. Hay, of Califor-
mia; Mrs. Julia Mills Dunn, president of

the reception of petitions for extension.
The commission estimates that some

ROADS have complied fully with the pro-
visions of the law. The New York Cen

minor naladies, but the majority of serious
diseases have their inception in disorder

the most deadly enemy with which man
kind has to contend Like all other vast
ing diseases, it has its origin in disorders
of the digestive organs. AS result of these
disorders, the appetite falls off; the hfe-glv

pure; and all the tissues of the body are i'm
perfectly and improperly nourished; the
lungs become clogged with inert, half dead
tissues that offer an attractive soil for the
