q WOMEN'S COUNCIL
The Closing Meeting Held at Washington,
Yesterday.

The Closing Meeting Held at Washington,
Yesterday.
Washington, February 19.-There
was a large attendance at the final pub
lie meeting to-day at the Church of
Our Father Of the triennial session of
the National Council Of Women. Sew
eral interesting papers were read. The
business of the council will be closed
at a secret session tomorrow.
The first paper to-day vas by Mary
Newbury Adams, of Iowa, entitled, "St.
Hilda of Whitby-How Abbesses were
educators and civilizers." She briefly
reviewed the life of this remarkable wo-
man and of her work at Whitby. In
every historic epoch, she said, there is
found an organizing genius, who brings
to a focus the interests of the people
with an appreciation of the learning
of other ages. st. Hilda was such a
genius for the English language 1900
years ago. She was an example OF a
mother of literature-those who pre-
pare the home for the gifted and keep
bright the fires of genius taken from
all time, perfect conditions for those
who can do and speak.
Elizabeth B. Grannis, of New York,
read a scholarly paper entitled, "Is the
Church Universal a hindrance or a
help to the development OF woman
kind?" Christ, she said, came to es-
tablish the church universal, and there
can be no justification for any division,
branch or denomination of the church.
1t should ever hold the banner of unity
aloft and should work individually and
collectively to make visible the one
ness of the church of Christ through
out the world.
1.-THE message of the Madonna" by
Elizabeth Boynton Harbert, of Illinois,
closed the meeting.

Manila, February 1913 p. m.-The
California volunteers abandoned Quad
aloupe church at 5 o'clock this morn
ing, which has since been set on fire,
and retired to San Pedro Macati. The
rebels still hold the country in the
vicinity of Guadalupe, Pasig and
Patero, despite the efforts of the gun
boats to dislodge them from the jungle
on both sides of the river.
The heat is intense, and is increas-
ing p~erceptibly daily. Under present
conditions it is impossible to provide
shade for the troops in certain parts Of
the line, particularly McArthur's di-
vision. Kings brigade is also exposed
from San Pedro Macati to Caliculi,
where it joins Oyenshine's brigade.
Mr.. Higgins, the manager of the Ma
nila-Daguapan railroad, is believed to
be safe at Bayambang, although no
communication has been received from
him vince February 9th. He was
then housed at Mr.. Clarke's place with
his wife and family and about six
other Englishmen, some of whom are
accompanied by their wives. While it
is unlikely that the natives of the
locality will harm them. it is feared
that others from distant provinces
might wreak vengeance at their ex-
pense.
In view of the fact hat the enemy
were concentrating on the American
right flank, preparations were made
last night to give them a warm recep-
ton in the event of attack. Gen. Oven
shines line, consisting originally of
the North Dakota volunteers, Four
teenth infantry and two troops of the
Fourth cavalry, stretching from the
beach at Camp Dewey to Gen. Kings
right, was reinforced by two battalions
of Oregon volunteers and three troops
of the Fourth cavalry as infantry.
The Buffalo's searchlight, discovering
the rebels unusually active about 10
o'clock in the evening, signalled the
flagship for permission to fire upon
them; and, this being granted, bonn
barded the enemy's trenches for twenty
minutes. The only effect of the fire
was apparently to drive the rebels fur
ther inland.
Beyond a few Intellectual volleys from
the trenches, which were returned with
interest, the enemy made no demon
stration and all is quiet along the rest
of the line.
Scouts claim to have seen Gen. Pho
del Pillar, who commanded the rebels
at Pace, with his arm in a sling, direct
ing the troops. Gen. Montenegro, the
insurgent commander-in-chief, is re-
ported to be personally conducting the
movements in front of Gen. Kings line
at San Pedro Macati. The signal corps
is arranging signals with the navy for
future operations on the left. With the
exception of the Port Of Iloilo, trade
with Philippine ports is still blockaded,

Paris, February 19.-Police measures
for the maintenance of order have been
taken on an extensive scale and the
city is quiet. NJ. Loubet did not quit
his residence at the Luxembourg until
6 o'clock this evening.
Toward Z o'clock demonstrations oc-
Cured in front of the Office of Sebastian
Faure's anarchist paper, the Journal du
Peuple, on the Boulevard Montmartre,
for and against Loubet.
There was a collision between the
rival factions and several persons were
injured. The partisans of the newly
| elected President were worsted in the
conflict and moved off to the Cafe Bre-
bant, where they were again attacked
and dispersed by their opponents.
Many arrests were made.
Similar encounters occurred at about
8 o'clock at the offices of the Libre Pa
role, and more serious disorder at the
Brasserie Maxeville, on the Boulevard
Montmartre, where several women were
trampled and injured.
A fracas also took place at the Cafe
des P~anoramas, where blows were
freely exchanged. In both cases the
| police interviewed energetically, arrest
ing many.
At II o'clock an enormous crowd was
/ demonstrating in favor of M. lola.
Toward midnight crowds broke the
| windows of the Rothscnilds offices in
the Rue Ia Fitte, and another group
wrecked the offices of the Anti-Juif.
Minor disturbances took place in
various parts of the city, but the
crowds gradually dispersed and at mid
| night quietude had been almost re-
stored.
Tomorrow M. Dupuy, the premier,
will ask the Chamber of Deputies to
vote $4,000 for the o~bsequies to NJ.
Faure.
NJ. Loubet will preside at the first
Cabinet council of the new administra-
ton on Tuesday.

that the House bill to provide for a
poses of taxation, which was intro
duced by Mr.. Mansfield, will yet be en-
acted into a law. The Senate amended
the bill for a partisan advantage, by
inserting a clause to place the power
of appointing the assessors in the vari-
Gus counties, in the hands of the
Board of Public Works. Democrats
were willing to concede the appointing
power to the Board, but reserved the
authority to nominate the assessors,
for the county courts and the respect
i've counties. There is not any likeli-
hood of the Senate receding from it's
amendments, unless members of the
Board of Public Works give their as
sent. A step in this direction has al
ready been taken. Auditor Lafollette
has indicated a willingness to recede
from the Republican position, and the
hope is entertained that the Governor
will also fall into line. 1t is a matter
of considerable Importance, in view of
the fact that the biennial appropria-
tons are rapidly approaching the mill
ion dollar a year mark. A re-asses-
ment will 10 doubt show a substantial
increase in the valuation of property
for purposes of taxation, and will make
possible such appropriations for State
institutions and State departments as
will insure their efficiency and useful
ness, and will be compatible with the
dignity and standing of a progressive
commonwealth.

1t is not strange that the presence
Of 81 many of the leading politicians of
the State during the session of the
Legislature, should result in the evolu-
ton of political deals, and the discus
sion of political candidates. The
g~ubernatorial boom for Col. T. B..
Davis, which had its inception here a
little over a week ago, is gaining
strength very rapidly, and is already
a very lively infant for it's age. Dem
ocratic papers throughout the State
have taken hold of the matter, and
are helping it along. Democratic men,
bers of the Legislature are not mani
Testing any surprise, but on the con
trary are wondering why they had not
thought of Col. Davis in connection
with the matter before. One paper, the
Kanawha Democrat, flies at the head
of its editorial column: For Cover
nor-COl. T. B. Davis" The presence
Of three Republican candidates for
State Auditor, has also been mention
ed. They are the present Auditor, Mr..
Lafollette, who is understood to be
after a denomination; Elliott North.
colt, of CabCll, whose candidacy hinges
somewhat upon the attitude of Mr..
Lafoilette: and James K. Hall, who is
after the place because he, and his
friends as we'll, think he should have
it as a reward for party service.
In connection with the gubernatorial
nomination upon the Republican side,
several James are frequently mention
ed. One of them is Col. G. w. Curtin,
who was a conspicuous figure here
during the Senatorial fight. Another
is Secretary of State Dawson. A third
is President o. S. Marshall, of the
State Senate, who is credited with hav-
ing had a covetous eye on Governor
Atkinson's chair while advocating his
election to the United States Senate,
it being understood that Mr.. Marshall
would have filed the vacancy in the
event that Atkinson was elected. The
latest nam heard in connection with
the place is that of ex-senator Jim
Hughes, of Cabell county.

The defeat of the bill for the estab-
lishment of a State undertakers de-
partment, which was due to a blunder
of Delegate Frank Legge, of McMech-
en-, created a great amount of talk
Thursday night, on account of the fact
that Legge really advocated the passage
of the measure. AS a matter of course,
the lobby of u~ndertakers was not at all
pleased with the situation, and this
very fact led many persons who were
not at all interested in the measure, to
exert their influence to secure its pass
age. Legge also helped all in his
power. The result was a motion by Mr..
Rine, Friday night, to reconsider the
vote by which the enacting clause was
stricken out. The bill was then ad-
vanced to its third reading by a safe
majority, but the opposition to it has
not disappeared, and it will have an
exceedingly hard road to travel if it
ever becomes a law. The opposition
comes from farmers and delegates from
the agricultural counties, who some
how or other appear to have formed the
impression that it contemplates some
unnecessary frills in burying the dead.
Friends of the bill accepted amend
ments which made its provisions apply
only to embalmers, but they are still
unsatisfied.

Paris, February 19.-In the course of
the demonstrations the Dreyfusards at
tempted to invade the Office of the
Petite Journal. Finding the doors bar
red against them, they smashed the
windows.
At the hall of a thousand columns,
seven hundred Bonapartists met to pro-
test against the election of M. Loubet.
Speeches were made by Baron lie Goux,
NJ. Lasies and NJ. Cuneo d'Arnano. Sew
eral persons who interrupted the pro-
ceilings were elected. When the meet
ing broke up there were some slight
disorders and several arrests were
made.
On the advice of medical attendants,
the remains of Mr.. Faure were placed
in the coffin this morning in the pres
ence of M. Dupuy. This afternoon
crowds filed past the bier.
Madame Faure continues to receive
kilograms of coincidence from rulers in
all parts of the world.
NJ. Loubet is receiving a host of con-
gratulatory kilograms. The Temps re-
joices in his election as "the best pos
sible choice" The Journal des Debats,
which is more guarded, will wait to see
him actually at work. The Rberte ex-
hOrts him to relieve the impression
that he was elected in the interests Of
Dreyfus.
1t is estimated that 10000 persons
viewed NJ. Faure's body on Saturday.
The family of the dead president
spent some time in the presence Of
the body to-day prior to the touching
ceremony of placing the remains in the
coffin, which took place at noon. NJ.

Upon the silver plate on the casket
is a simple inscription which describes
the deceased as president of the re-
public and master of the Legation of

and death. After the ceremony of

Among the bills which have passed
the House is one which provides rather
severe penalties for the use of tobacco
in houses of worship. Mr.. Darst, who
is the father Of the measure, is very
earnest in its advocacy. Mr.. Behrens,
of Ohio, did not want the idea to go
abroad that the citizens of West Vir-
ginia were given to such filthy habits
to such an extent as to require the en-
actment of a law to compel them to OBJ
serve certain rules of decency.
