WOMAN SUFFRACISTS
The Annual Convention IF the AS
ISOLATION Called to Order.
MISS ANTHONY MAKES An ADDRESS.
The Work OF Miss Gregg, OF Kansas. n So
ciety Organizer, Highly spoken Of
A Protest Against Admitting
tho Missouri Delegates.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Susan Ii. An
thony called the 3Oth annual conven-
ton of the National American Woman
Suffrage association to order Mt the
Columbia theater yesterday. The dec
orations consisted mainly in the dis
play of two handsome American flags,
each with four stars, emblematic OF
the states which have granted the
right of suffrage to women. Prior to
the general public session there was
meeting OF the executive committee
which was more fully attended than
on any previous occasion. Four states
and territories were reported as not
having paid up the necessary dues,
viz, Utah, Colorado, Alabama and Ar
iona, and, in accordance with the
rules Of the association, the delegates
from them would be denied the privi-
lege of voting.
In Miss Anthony's address she spoke
of the success so far attained in behalf
of woman suffrage, and urged all
those identified in the movement to
stand together for better results. The
grievances which women had against
their common encmy--man--to-day
were as great and as many as the
early colonists had against King
George.
Following the opening address, the
convention settled down to routine
business, including roll calls, an.
nouncements of committees. etc. Miss
Lucy Anthony was appointed time
keeper Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, the
vice presdent-at-large made brief
report, which told particularly of the
excellent work Of Miss Hay, of Califor-
mia, and Miss Gregg, of Kansas, the
two society organizers, throughout the
year. She spoke OF the growing senti-
ment in favor OF woman suffrage.
The newspapers were favorable to the
woman suffragists, and they were the
greatest help to which they might
look for assistance.
The report OF Rachel Foster Avery,
the corresponding secretary, closed the
work of the morning session.
The afternoon session Of the conven-
ton was devoted mainly to hearing
short addresses by state presidents or
other proxies. They were all of an
encouraging character and showed
satisfactory growth of the movement
in behalf of woman suffrage. When
the report of the committees on ere
dentials was being presented by Mrs
Upton, Mrs. Victoria c. Whitney, OF
St Louis, entered protest against the
admission OF Missouri delegates to the
convention, but after listening to hel
for ten minutes the meeting adjourned
the protest remaining Enacted upon.
At the evening session, a short ad
dress was made by Miss Anthony
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was sick anC
unable to attend and her paper OF
Our Defeats and Triumphs" was reaC
by Clara Berwick Colby.

The jury in the case of Shirley ID.
Chamberlin, charged with the murder
OF Herbert II. Kay, of Wisner, Neb.,
