The meeting was called to order

words presented Mrs. S. S. Richards as
chairman of the meeting. Mrs. Rich

Guilty in making herself heard. When
the tumult finally subsidized she said
that this magnificent meeting under
the auspices of the women was an indi-
cation of how they appreciated the bal
lot. She then announced that a double
Quartette would sing the Star Spang-
led Banner led by Helds band, and
that the audience would stand during
the song.
This was greeted by a cheer and
when the double quartette filed cut they
received their full share of applause
and when Held's band struck the tune
the whole magnificent audience sprang
song. AS the singing progressed large
flag was unrolled from above the stage
and myriads Of little spangles fell from
its folds and fioated over the heads of
tie audience. The octette was made
up of Misses Ferrin, Derr, Clayton and
Dwyer and Messrs. Ashworth, Siddo-

A P1ssty Tableau.
Another feature of the evening that
called forth great applause and added
TO the enthusiasm was the singing of
a song by the double quartette in be-

formed one of the most pleasing fea-

scHuRMAN,s HOPEFUL VIEW.
Tells Cabinet Americans Will Nuke
Short Work of AguiunldO

Washington, Sept. 4.-(By Associat-
ed Press. )-The cabinet was in session
over two hours. President Schurman,
OF the Philippine commission, was pres
ent by invitation, and made 4 compre-
hensive statement of the situation in
the islands. 1t is understood that,
within few days he will make state
ment on his observations in the islands
for general publications; later he will
make formal report to the president.
This, however, will not be till Dewey
returns. 1t is understood that Schur-
man takes hopeful view and believes
that the increased force will be able
to make short work of the insurgents.
He says Aguinaldo does not represent
the entire native population. He says
that while the anti-imperialist league
had no apparent effect among the
American forces there, it has given
great encouragement TO Aguinaldo. A
member OF the cabinet declares that
the president, contrary to reports, has
not formulated plan for the govern
ment of the Philippines after the in
surrectlon has been suppressed, nor is
he giving the matter much thought at
the present time. 1t is his intention
to co-operate with the committees of
congress in that regard and he will not
form hard and fast system and insist
ON adoption. The subject of relieving
Otis of part of his duties was not mem
toned today, but the impression is he
may be put at the head of the civil
administration and relieved of the re-
sponsibility of military operations.

manded to see it or the work cease.
The farmers We're firm in the matter

crease as compared with last month of
