I canot conceive of anything that women
could do in the future that would shock the
public now as the things they actually are
doing would have shocked the public OF
thirty, twenty or even ten years ago.
Women attend the business meetings of
corporations, and in some cases, notably
small manufacturing or business concerns,
II they have large amount OF money In
vested, they serve as directors, even as
pI esident and treasurer They vote on
school matters in the majority OF the
States. They have full suffrage In Wyo-
ming. Utah, Colorado and Idaho, and NUM-
cipal suffrage in Kansas. Even in States
where they do not vote women fire.

We see the same changes III social life.
Years ago a mans club was the one spot
where woman could not set her foot.
1t was generally supposed that the moral
tone Of the place was such that she would
have changed so much that women not only
visit the club on ladies nights but thEN
are actually invited 10 the restaurant on
ordinary days. Almost all the newer clubs.
especially those in the country and those
connected with athletic iterests. make pro-
vision for women, and in some cases the
club suppers are almost as domestic as
family parties. Last winter attended

men were not invited to the meeting, but
the courtesy of a portion of their house
was extended for the day. because the So

OPPOSED TO ANNEXATION.
Speech by Senator Pettigrev on the
Hawaiian Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Senator Petit
grew of South Dakota, was the only speak
er on the Hawaiian annexation treaty in
the executive session of the Senate to-day.
He opposed the treaty, resuming his speech
where he had left off a week ago. The SEN
ator undertook to show that ali the sugar
grown on the islands must be produced by
Asiatic labor, repeating and celebrating the
argument that no colonies of the Anglo
Saxon race had ever been successful within
the tropics. He replied to Senator Teller
on this point, saying that the facts were
against the Colorado senator's contention,
and that the Hawaiian islands would prove
no exception to the rule that the white man
could not and would not labor in tropical
climate He said that of the 100000 people
in Jamaica fewer than 1900, including the
British garrison, were white, and in the
Straits Settlements not ] per cent. of the
residents were English. He asSertedSthat in
Hawaii there was not one European laborer,
aside from the Portuguese. engaged on the
sugar plantations to-day. If, he argued, we
should annex the islands the Japanese
would inevitably take possession of them.
and could not in any degree check their
inToads under our new treaty with Japan,
which goes into effect next year. In view
of this fact he contended that whatever
bounty give or tariff we levy the result
will be in the interest of Asiatic labor in
Hawaii Senator Pettigrew held that the
result OF the encouragement OF TINS species
of labor would be to the detriment of our
own commerce, which he contended is al
ready declining in the Hawaiian islands.
The Asatics, he said, do not buy or use
anything we produce. In consequence of
this fact our exports to that country have
declined rapidly during the past seven or
eight years. He took issue with those who
contend that the islands are in the track of
commerce, saying that they are not on the
way to from any place any country.
1T is as absurd exclaimed the senator,
ito talk of defending San Francisco from
Hawaii as it is to talk of defending New
York from Ireland, for the distance is about
the same" Senator Pettigrew at 3 o'clock
announced that he had not concluded his
speech, but would continue tomorrow.
The ACCESSIBILITY of dropping the treaty
and substituting an annexation resolution or
bill will be discussed at the meeting of the
Senate committee on foreign relations to-
morrow morning. The treaty seems to be
steadily losing ground and it is no longer
certain that an annexation proposition could
be put through both branches of Congress.

A Heather chtnee Learns Euchre.


The Chinese minister has learned the fas-
chatting game of euchre and likes it. A
week or ten days ago he received an invita-
ton to a progressive euchre party and
didn't know what it was. While he likes to
go out and see people and do things and Is
very eager to learn American habits and
customs, there are so many attempts to
impose upon him IL at naturally he has to
be a little cautious, and never having heard
of progressive euchre he took friend into
his confidence and asked for advice. The
invitation came from one of the most de-
iightfu homes in Washington, at which Mr.
and Mrs WI have been several times enter
tanned Therefore the friend knew the place
was all right, and explained to the minister
the features of the game. The latter be-
came much interested, sent to a book store
for a manual and studied it with the great
est of attention all one day. Then he turned
it over to his secretaries, Mr.. Chung, Mr..
T'ung, Mr. Chow and Mr. Yang, and made
them learn the game. Each day thereafter
until the date of the party the minister
PLAYED for an hour or two with his staff, so
that he became quite proficient and won the
first prize.
He shows the same zeal in everything he
undertakes: he asks as many questions as
III Hung Chang, and by the time he returns
TO China will not only be thoroughly Amer
icanized but will know all that is worth
knowing and more, TOO, about the habits
and practices of the foreign devils In
these parts.

CONGRESS OF NATIONS.
Final Preparations for the Entertain
ment at TOmIinsOn Hall.

The ladies of the Girls Industrial School
have completed the arrangements for hold
ing the congress of nations, or Midway
Plaisance, which will be conducted at Tom
linson Hall, beginning to-day and continu-
ing until Tuesday of next week. The booths
have all been arranged, and the hall looks
very beautiful in its many decorations of
flags and bunting. Last night a dress re-
hearsal was held ard the final touches put
on the various booths.
A special feature has been made of the
streets of Cairo. and those who visited the
worlds fair at Chicago will find in this
booth much of the same pleasure they ex-
perienced there A genuine Bedouin we'd
ding will be celebrated at intervals in all its
Oriental splendor. A Ferris wheel has been
constructed and other features not hereto
fore mentioned have been arranged. There
will be sn Irish village under the manage
ment o. Mrs. Charles w. Ensey, and a
Turkish village, to be presided over by Mrs.
Neal and Mrs Coughlan. The New Eng
land home will be an interesting place to
visit, where the hungry will be plentfully
served with sweet cider and welsh rarebit.
The booth of the congress of beauties has
been elegantly decorated and will no doubt
prove a great drawing card. The German
village will be in charge or Mrs, Walter Bo-
Zell and Miss StilZ, who did the decorating,
which is very appropriate ana true TO old
country style. One of the prettleSt ana most
popular resorts will be that of the Italian
village, over which Miss Schramm and Miss
Elitel will preside. The booth representing
old Vienna, the gorgeous Moorish palace
and HagenbeckS arena Will not be among
the least Of the attractions. The hall Will
be open to the public tonight and tickets
are to be obtained at the door only. 1t is
on the street, and the public is warned
against them.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-There seems to
be a probability that the negotiations now
pending between the government and the
Union Pacific reorganization committee
will result in a settlement of the govern
ment's claim against the Kansas Paclhc
without the necessity of a foreclosure SALE
Up to yesterday the best offer made by the
committee for the governments interest In
the road was 81, 5OOOO0. and upon this being
declined another proposition was made on
a basis Of $4,5O0OOO, which also was de-
clined. The government is fixed in its pur-
pose not to accept less than $6903,000 the
principal of the debt, and as the difference
between this amount and the offer already
made is only 81 1903 600, it is believed that be-
fore the time arrives for making the motion
for leave 70 pay off the first mortgage, and
for q postponement of the sale, the full
amount will have been offered and ac-
ceDted.
