A representative of the Associated
Press has interviewed the Countess of
Aberdeen 1nd others regarding the
practical results likely to accrue from
the international councils of women.
Lady Aberdeen, who is an enthusiastic
admirer of the American and Canadian
delegates, said:
every one of them was a skilled
expert and most of them were trained
speakers whom the congress was de-
lighted to hear, which cannot be said
in regard to many of the other speak
ers. The Americans, as a rule, were
better informed, more decided in opin-
ion, and further advanced on the lead
luS lOpICS lIldu any VI Tie Olu6I Q6lt-
gates. They fairly outstripped the
Englishwomen who, however, were bet
ter informed than the continental dele
gates in general knowledge of the sub
jects pertaining to women.
MRS. Sewall won the congress from
the first. Her extraordinary tact in
dealing with such a large gathering
was remarkable.
Miss Susan B. Anthony's powerful
advocacy of women's claims distinctly
added to her already great reputation.
"REGARDING THE RESULTS,
the grand consummation has been
reached of welding together a cosmo-
politan body of thoughtful women, pre-
pared to educate their fellow women
Twenty-Five years hence the leaven of
to-day will have leavened the whole
world, and the irresistible force of pub
lie opinion will have raised women to
their proper sphere"
Miss Susan B. Anthony dwelt enthu-
siastically on the work of the council,
and said
I'VE have already taken the outer
trenches of the worlds thought"
