WOMEN REBUKE
GOVERNOR CAGE
Bitter DenunciatiOn of
the Executive.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, April 14.-Governor Gage
came in for a good roasting at the
hands of the woman suffragists of this
county to-day, and had he heard the
expressions regarding him his ears
would have tingled for some time to
come The occasion was the annual
convention of the Equal Suffrage clubs
of Santa Clara County. Over 100 dele
gates representing all sections OF the
county were present. Mrs. A. L. Cor
bett of Palo Alto presided.
Mrs. Sturtevant Peet, president OF the
State Women's Christian Temperance
Union, bitterly denounced Gage. She
said the vetoing of the bill granting
the ballot to women in school elections
was all that could be expected of
Governor who would leave his duties
at Sacramento to attend the horse races
at San Francisco. Miss Sarah Sever
ance and Mrs. A. a. Sargent of San
Francisco made similar speeches and
the latter regretted that Mcguire had
not been elected, for he undoubtedly
favored equal suffrage.
The adoption of the following resolu
tiOnS was Cheered:
Whereas, We, the suffrage women of
Santa Clara County, in convention as
sembled. believe in the principle of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none; whereas, many of US are paying
taxes; whereas, we bear and do our share
in rearing men who become the soldiers
and lawmakers of the country; whereas,
we assist in furnishing these soldiers
and destroy none; whereas, women assist
in restoring to health, home and useful
ness soldiers whom other men shoot
down, and, when they cannot personally
do this, assist by various contributions;
whereas, we desire added respectability
of citizenship; be it
Resolved That we, suffrage women of
Santa Clara County in convention assem-
bled. desire to express our supreme dis
appointment in Governor Gage of Cali
pocket veto of the school suffrage bill
that was passed with only seven dissent
ing votes in the last Senate and Assem-
bly,; be it further
Resolved, AS wives. mothers and human
beings we express our gratitude for the
men who stood for Justice.

this morning on a motion that Mrs.
Emily Spring show cause why her 5000 A

gered at her husbands attorney, and at
one stage in the proceedings hurriedly
left the courtroom after having de-

as perjurers. Attorney Scheller coaxed
her back into the courtroom and things
went along smoothly.
Mrs. Spring was the first witness She
denied that she had been served with a
restraining order commanding her not to
remove the furniture from her house.
Martin Burns testified that he had served
the order on her in San Francisco. He
said Mrs. Spring refused to take the no.

NEEDED AT HIS POST.

VICTORIA, B. c., April 14-According
to news brought by the Glenogle the
North China Daily News reported that in
view of the tension at Peking the leave
of the British and German Ministers, Sir
Claude Macdonald and Baron Won Hell
king. had been stopped for the present.
On the following day the same journal
added: Nothing appears to be officially
known as yet of Sir Claude Macdonald s
leave having been stopped, and he is still
expected to leave Tfentsin on the 18th in
a British man-Of-war, calling at Wei
hai-wei on his way to the south. 1t is
thought at Peking that Sir Claudes
health which has suffered from strain
and overwork, makes it necessary for him
to have a holiday, although he must
himself be averse to leaving Peking at
the present crisis.
