WOMEN SUFFRAGISTS
Listen to an Interesting Discussion
On the Women of Our New
Possessions.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, April 28.-
This mornings session of the woman
suffragists' convention was occupied
with two interesting features. One
was the annual report of the national
treasurer, Harriet Taylor Upton, of
Ohio, and the second a spirited discus
sion of the subject, "Our Duty to the
Women of our New Possessions.
The treasurer reported that from
Jan. 1, 1898, to Jan. 1, 1899, she had re-
ceived $l4 ,02O, disbursed S13, ,467, leav-
ing q balance of 1858. The association
was in debt 81 400 the first of January.
The war made active work in the field
impossible and the. expenses of the as
sociation had to go on while the sour
ces of the revenue were cut off.
The discussion on "Our Duty to the
Women of Our New Possessions, I"
proved to be one of the most interest
ibg features of the debts to the women
of our new possessionts, first, the
obligation to study the present
condition of the women in those lands
in the light of social evolution, aud,
second, to adopt such measures of

VERY CORDIAL
The President Not Disposed To Slight
COoh1dn.

PHILADELPHIA, April 28.-The
president passed pleasant day.
While at breakfast the news from the
Philippines came. The president WINS
highly elated. He sent hurried mes
ssges to Washington.
At half past ten he visited the
Raleigh. he greeted Capt Coghlan
very cordially. The president made
q speech to the captain and sailors,
saying: SIN the name of seventy five
million American citizens 1 honor you
all for your services to our country.
This feeling not only extends to your
admiral whom we all love and honor
but to the humblest of the crew who
was in the great fleet at Manila.''

government and such alone as will
conserve the civilizing powers of
womanhood already at work among
those people.
; eff we lay violent hands upon the
backward peoples and give them only
our laws and political rights as these
relate to women we shall do horrible
| Injustice to the savage woman, and
| through them 20 the whole process OF
social growth.
''If today in the Hawaii Islands or IN
Cuba we fail to recognize the native
women who still hold something of the
primitive prestige of womanhood, fail
to recognize them as entitled to q
translation under new laws and condi-
tions OF the cd dignity of position, we
shall not only do them an injustice, but
we shall forcibly give the Hawaiian
and Cuban men lessons in the wrong
and not the right side of our domestic
! relations.
''In other words, if we introduce one
particle Of our belated and illogical
political and legal subjection of women
to men in any savage or half-civilized
commun nity,w we shall spoil the domestic
virtues that community already pos
| sesses, and we shall not (because we
cannot abruptly and violently inocu-
late them with the virtues of civilized
and domestic life."
''To properly adjust these affairs we
need commission which shall study
domestic rather than political condi-
| tions and which shall look for the un-
dercurrents of social growth, rather
than the more snowy political move
ments.
"This commission should have two
arc biologists, man and woman, one
statesman who could contrive to ioin
the new and the old ways of living, a
teacher capable of giving the next
steps of training for child life, and a
person trained in the best methods of
philanthropic effort.''
Mrs. Spencer suggested that the
last-named person be woman and
that one of the psychologists be wo-
man, and named Alice G. Fletcher for
the latter place.
