WOUND UP IN ROW.
Withdraw in National
CoIOreu WOmen's Association.

Chicago, Aug 17.-At the very end Of
the convention of the National Associa-
ton Of Colored Women of America seri-
Gus trouble arose over the election of
officers, and the final crash came in the
withdrawal of all the. delegates from
the New England states. The unpleas-
untness started over the reelection Of
Mrs. Terrell of Washington as president
of the association. II motion prohibiting
recollection of officers having been previ-
uusly carried. Mrs. Terrell was re-
elected after long struggle An at
tempt was made to propitiate the New
EnSlaIders by proposing that new
office of assistant secretary be created
and Miss Garter be chosen to that posi-
tion by acclamatiun. Mrs. Rutfin of
Boston stated that there was no such
office provided for in the constitution.
In spite of this the delegates chose Miss
Carter to the office of assistant record
ing secretary. Miss Carter said she did
not want the office and would not take it.
The New England delegates. she said.
had been unfairly treated. and she an
nounced the withdrawal of the northeast
fnction. comprising the New England
states and its 1000 members, from the as.
Sociatioii.
