NEW SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION.
Mrs. Lille Devercux Blake to Or.
Gnnizc the National Legislative
Association.

Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake is about
to organize second woman's suf-
frage association. She was the de-
feated candidate for the presidency
Of the National Suffrage associat ation
after the abdication of Susan B.
Anthony. When Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait succeeded to that office Mrs.
Blake's friends openly threatened a
second organization, holding that she,
by reason of long service and zeal in
the cause, was logically entitled to
that honor. The new body Of suf-
fragists will call themselves the Ma
tional Legislative association, and it's
aim will be to carry ON the yearly
campaign at the capitals, national
and state whieh. IN Mrs. Blake's be-
lief. is the Sole hope Of the suffrage
cause. A committee to reside in the
capital and to work in congressional
circles during the season will be one
Of the strong points OF the campaign
ing. It is denied that the Legislative
association is a rival of Mrs. Catt's
following.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
They Would BE a Great Advan-
tage with Proper Safeguards.

If postal savings banks can be
clothed with proper safeguards am in
favor of them," said Representative
Shafroth, of Colorado. Il am afraid if
precautions are not taken institutions
OF this kind will take the money from
the west and cenralize it in the east.
OF course, depositors would expect a
small interest on their money, and in
order to pay this it would be necessary
for the government to loan the deposits
placed in postal and savings banks.
Great caution would have to be ex-
ercised SO as to guard against losses. If
some scheme could be devised by which
this plan could be put into successful
operation it would DO doubt be crafty
ing to the people and encourage them
TO. save their earnings. Our savings
banks are good, safe institutions, how
ever, and pay small rate of interest.
It is seldom they fail. but when they do
some OF the depositors are hit hard
These banks usually pay two or
three per cent. interest, which is about
all they can afford. When an institu-
tion of this kind offers to pay six per
cent. interest, however, it is an indi-
cation they want funds badly, and |
have always been rather suspicious of
those who offer high rates of Interest," ~

CHASTLSES HEIR TO THRONE
Young Girls Father Prevents nm

OF Austria.

The New York Journal correspond
ent at Bssda-Pesth cables: Strange re-
ports are in circulation regarding
ArchlMke Otto. nephew of the en-
peror aud next heir but one to the
Austro-Hungarian throne. Three
months ago the archduke was at
tending q public ball at pleasure re-
sort in Vienna known as the Garten-
bau. He was attracted by the charms
Of girl there with her father and
mother. Later in the evening, when
he had freely imbibed, the archduke.
who was in civilian dress, approached
the young woman and attempted to
embrace her. Her father intervened,
and dealt his imperial highness a
sounding box On the ears. A scene
ensued; the acchduke was recognized
by many OF those present. He was
anxious to chastise his assailant, but
was persuaded by an officer in at
tendance to leave the ball and 20
home.
The emperor was extremely an
nOyed when be heard Of the occur
renee. His majesty's annoyance was
increased by the discovery that his
nephew had contracted debts to the
amount Of E25O,OoO (about 81 ,2s5 .oo0) .
Archdnke Otto obtained leave of ab-
sence and went abroad until the af-
fair blew over. He will return to
Austria soon, but to Meran. instead of

that devoted to the naval progress of
the year in this and other countries
a volume prepared by and issued from
the Office Of naval intelligence. This
publication, which is about 10 appear,
should have gone to press in July, but
owing to the pressure ofwork during
the war with Spain and the lack of a
sufficient detail of officers until within
the last few months, the preparation OF
this volume has been delayed, and adj
vantage has been taken of the delay TO
bring the information up to the date
of publication. Following are some Of
the articles which will appear:

GOLD COINS FOR BUTTONS.
Men at the Yards with His
GIitte ring Garments.

Benson Mckee, who reached Chi
eago the other day ON horse" train
from New Mexico with q carload of
"bronchos" for the east. caused a
mild sensation at the Stock Yards
with hisfad of wearing gold coins for
buttons. His great coat was fastened
with double eagles, his vest with five
dollar pieces. and his coat had eagles
giistening in the buttonholes and
above. the tails. From a chain at
taehed TO pin in his necktie hung a
three-doalar gold piece. of which few
ever were coined. He had money to

back to the yards and at four o'clock
boarded an east-bound horse train
for the east. Before he left he said:
II come from Albuquerque, where I
have large stock farm. The idea of
wearing gold pieces for buttons is
only an eccentricity OF mine. and as

SOON TO MAKE ARMS.
ROCK Island Arsenal to BE Equipped
for the Manufacture Of
Guns.

Ow1ng to mistake in an estimate
made last year by the ordnance bu-
reau OF the war department, the Rock
Island arsenal has not been equipped
for manufacturing small arms, and it
Will be necessary to secure an addi-
tional appropriation at this congress
before the work of installing ma
chinery will begin. A movement of
this kind is on foot, and one of the
general appropriation bills will carry
an appropriation of at least $780,
900, so as to enable the war depart
ment to place the machinery in the
buildings at Rock Island for the man
ufacture of small arms of the latest
pattern.
Last year the house committee on
military affairs asked the ordnance
bureau to prepare an estimate Of
cost for equipping those buildings.
This was done, and the amount was
fixed at $350,00O. This was appropri-
ated last year, and is now at the dis
posal of the secretary of war. Con-
gress had hardly adjourned, however,
had been made in the estimate, and
that $4,000 would be needed instead
of $35O,OOO. AS the amount at the dis
posal of the secretary of war was less
than half of that required, IL was
decided to do nothing in the matter
until the money necessary to fully
equip Rock Island should be appro-
priated by congress.
Col. Marsh, who was instrumental
in having the original appropriation
made, and Representative Cannon,
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee, now have the matter in hand,
and it is quite certain the deficit will
be made up, and during the summer
the work of equipping Rock Island for
turning out about 100000 Krag-
Jorgensen rifles will begin.

SOME BIG FREIGHT HAULs.
The "Onderful Work That Has Deem
Performed by Union Pacific
Locomotives.

The Union Pacific has been making
some wonderful freight hauls east
from Cheyenne, Wyo.. during the past
few days. On Monday engine No. 1904
pulled 1O2 cars, or 4,60O tons, from
Cheyenne to Sidney, distance of 1O6
miles, in 51z hours. A few days later
the same engine hauled 112 cars. or
5000 tons, over the same district in
seven hours. This car haul beats the
worlds record for one locomotive,
which was formerly held by the Le-
high Valley road at 4,5o0 tons. The
officials say the big engines have not
been tested to their full strength yet
and that they will undoubtedly pull
5000 tons over the Nebraska division.

Charxe.

Naval officers Of the proposed battle
ships Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Georgia are to bave their linen washed
free Oh board. This means great deal
to them, not only in the saving of laun-
dry bills, but because the average naval
officer is rsatty man who does Lot like
to wear celluloid collars and flannel
shirts. as he sometimes has to do on
long voyages. There are no laundries
on any United States naval vessel ex-
cept some OF the auxiliary cruisers pur-
chased at the beginning Of the war with
Spain. Each Of the battleships will
have q laundry1oom in charge OF an
