WOMEN AT PHILADELPHIA.
Mrs. MccuIagh Tells "What Was Really
Done Concering Reorganization"

Editor of The Spy:
The delegate and representative of
the Worcester Woman's Club. at the
council of the General Federation Of
Womens clubs, held in Philadelphia on
June I'd and 3D., asks the courtesy of
your columns to correct an impression
given in Sundays issue, and to state
her personal opinion of the action ia
| ken at the meeting.
she does not regard that action as a
defeat, either for the question of the
reorganization of the G. F. w. C. or
the basis of state representation. or for
the Worcester WOman's Club, and while
at the council meeting she received the
personal thanks of delegates from all
over the country to the Worcester Wo-
mans Club for taking the initiative
and for melting agitation and discus
sion OF the question. Naturally this
agitation acted as a leaven in several
different centres where reorganization
was approved and resulted in at least
three different sets of resolutions being
brought to the council.
Mrs. Brock, president of the Penn
syiNanla Federation brought her resO-
| iutlons printed and distributed them to
the assembled delegates before the
opening OF the council. The recommend
atoms Of the Worcester Woman's
club were intended to get the sense of
the council upon the question Of reor-
&anization, upon the basis of state rep
feSentatiOn, leaving the matter of for
mulating amendments to the bylaws
10 mat council or to a special revision
| committee, as the council might de-
"'de. Mrs. Brooks resolutions pro-
Vlded for definite method of accom-
pushing the same object. and it was
evident from the first that the council
would favor these resolutions.
since the Worcester Woman's Club
mad started the movement its delegate
was advised by some Of the most promf-
hent women of the council to secure
the moor and present for communica-
uon first to show the source and the
strength of the movement. Her mo-
ton was lost and Mrs. Brooks resolu-
tons were presented for discussion.
On Saturday morning the discussion
was continued and various amendments
were proposed, but all were lost with
the exception Of the first, which chang
ed the number of the committee from
nine to fifteen. The Worcester dele
gate obtained the floor and declared her
entire sympathy with the resolutions
and her hearty support of the same
She said they provided a definite and
thorough method of learning the atti-
tude Of all federated clubs upon the
question of reorganization, which was
Just what the Worcester Woman's
Club wanted to know. and she believed
that they would accomplish the OBJ
lect which the Worcester Woman's
Club desired, viz: INSTRUMENTATION upon
the basis of state representation.
When the question was put the re-
suit was surprise 10 the most ardent
advocate of reorganization. There was
a full chorus of "ayes" and not a single
opponent had the courage of her con-
viCtion to say no"
1t was considered a great victory for
reorganization.

the measure until it had received their approval
The bin Will probably not be introduced before
Wednesday,
The Governors statement indicates that the
blu which meets his favor separates the Bureau
of Elections from the Board of Police. and puts
John McCullaCh. the present Superintendent of
Elections al its head with increased powers.
The Governor lately said that no recent egisIa-
tion had so soon ius,ned itself as that which
created State supervision Of elections in New
York
There is belief here also that the Police De
partment bin VIII enlarge the authority of the
chief of Police diminish that Of the Board Of
Police and give the Governor authority to re
move the chief for cause.
The Governor stated that he had not yet Sc
lected a successor 20 John II. V. Arnold as sur
rogate Of New-York County He was much
surprised when he learned that John T Nc

opinion fnat Mr. Arnold should file his resigna-
