INVESTIGATING ROSS FUND
Experts Looking Into Affairs Of the Me-
mortal Association

Many Wilmingtonians who contrib
uted dimes to the Betsey Ross fund are
interested In the proposed investiga-
tion into the affairs of the Betsy Ross
Memorial Association and John Quincy
Adams & Co., which began to-day in
Philadelphia, when the book accounts
of the two concerns will be turned over
to the expert accountants selected by
the Special Investigating Committee.
Professor Rorer, of the Peirce College.
and Mr.. Vollum, of Vollum, Fernley &
Vollum, will examine the accounts for
the committee and submit a full, de-
tailed report setting forth the exact
status OF the two concerns and account
ing for the $4,000 collected by Adams
& Co., for the purchase Of the Betsy
Ross house
Under the terms Of the contract now
in force Adams q Co. receive 10 cents
for every certificate OF membership is
sued by the Betsy Ross Memorial AS
sociatiOn. In addition to this 10 cents
the firm in most cases receives fcuI
cents for postage from the patriot who
purchases the certificate. OF this Il
cents, or 10 cents as the case may be-
the Betsy Ross Memorial Association
receives only two and a half cents, the
remainder representing the expenses
and profits of Adams & Co.
BY this method Adams & Co. have
collected $4,000 out of which sum the
association has received only $4,000
John Quincy Adams, speaking for the
firm, said Our books, records and pa
pers are all at the service Of the com
mittee and its accountants. We vii
render them every possible assistance
We have nothing to conceal. We hav,
adhered strictly to our contract, anI
the report Of the committee will estab
lish the fact that we have acted entirel,
in good faith and kept well within on
rights.
I'VE have not realized the fabulous
fortune some misguided or misinfcrm
ed people seem to think. We have beei
paid for our services and have col
lected proper sums for the use of Gu
copyrighted plates. We ned not hav
given anything at all to the organiza
tion, and could have conducted on
business without the aid Of any associ
alton. There is no quarrel betwee
Adams & Co. and the association. an
there will be none. All of this publicit
and hue and cry comes from peOpl
outside of the MeOmrial Association
who do not understand the situatio
and have never taken the trouble t
! learn about It.

DOM PAUL'S OLIVE BRANCH.

The Hague, May 1.-The Boer dele
gates, Fischer and Wolmarans, left to-
day for Rotterdam en- route to the
United States. A great crowd babe
them farewell at the station. The dele
gates made short speeches, thanking
the populace for the kindly reception
extended by "the people united to them
by bonds of race and religion"
Mr.. Fischer told your correspondent
that the object of their visit to the
United States was to appeal to the
Government and people, in order TO
secure a establishment of peace. He
said that they were going in order to
rectify erroneous opinions, and make
the truth known, by which 1t would
be seen that the Beers had not brought
on the war; but desired only peace and
the tranquil possession of indepen-
dence which was as dear to them as Ia
,e American people. He said that he
knew nothing regarding the statements
that they would not be received official
ly by the Government.
After the farewell visits to Minist ers
Pierson and De Beaufort, the Boer dele
gates started this afternoon for Rot
terdam, on their way to the United
States. The delegates will sail tomor
row. In response to a question as Il
how the refusal of Secretary Hay t.
receive them at Washington woult
affect their mission, Mr.. Fischer said
I'VE know absolutely nothing. W.
have seen it in the papers, but we cal
say nothing more"

Yankee Coal for Russia.

Philadelphia, May 3.-The British
steamer Accomac has been chartered to
load $500 tons Of anthracite coal at
this port for Cronstadt, Russia, at the
rate Of II shillings ton. This charter
calls for June shipment and will be the
first of a large quantity of coal that is
about to be shipped from here to Rus
sian ports in the Baltic sea. So far as
can be recalled the cargo will be the
first anthracite coal ever shipped to
Russia, bituminous coal having been
the call heretofore. Recently large
quantities of bituminous coal have
been shipped to Italy and France.

ganization, have by an overwhelming
vote of their citizens, and in three OF
them where men alone could vote at
the time, endorsed the wisdom, and
made possible the fact, of equal suf
frage.
Nor is woman suffrage confined to
the four States just mentioned, but 1t
is, in way. becoming universal. In
this country while equal suffrage Is en-
.joyed i'm but four States, partial suf
frage is extended to sixteen. In some
of these 1t is permitted on educational
questions alone; in others on munich
pal affairs.
The Territory of Hawaii has at the
present time an American citizenship
which is advanced, cultured, self-re-
liant, and capable of self-government
to the fullest extent. This citizenship
is not confined to one sex, and the wo-
men of the Territory have borne their
share of the work of making Hawaii
the Paradise of the Pacific"
| have been in favor of extension to
| the fullest possible extent of home rule
to the people of our Territories, and
| leaving aside the question of granting
suffrage to women, the amendment ]
proposed to the bill expressed my fixed
ideas on this subject. The proposition
of Interchangeable manhood suffrage con-
tanned in the bill presents grave
question as to whether the power to
define and regulate suffrage shall BIZ
'est With the States and Territories
to whom 1t originally belonged, or be
assumed by the national Congress.
Every thoughtful man will see al
once the Importance of this distinction
and will recognize that the power r.
say who shall vote and under what con.
ditons, is one of the first and grand
est attributes of tn sovereignty and
dignity and safety of the States and
Territories, the very essence of homf
rule and self-government. Every con
sideration of policy and good govern
ment warns us to adhere to the tradi
tons and institutions of the founders
of our government in this respect, ant
not to fasten upon its wonderful new
Territory an unchanging condition o

No Suffrage Privilege.

Woman suffrage was incorporated In
the constitution of the State, ratified
by the people of the State, and made
national statute by Congress in incor-
porating in the law of admission the
constitution of the State. The organic
acts of other Territories were equally
liberal, so that, leaving for a moment
the educational, property and other re-
strictions proposed in the original Ha-
waiian measure, we find for the first
time in our history an organic act pro-
posed for Territory that leaves its
citizens and voters no privilege Of ex-
tending suffrage to women, though
every other Territory and every State
has had and now has that privilege;
and this, too, following almost immedi-
ately after one Territory availed itself
OF this privilege during the entire term
of its political life, and that four
