Washington, April 1s.--.The news of tho
firm attitude assumed by the state depart
ment toward the Turkish government In
tie prosecution OF its claims for damages
TO American missionary property caused
pomething OF n sensation in diplomatic cir
cles today Three successive American
ministers have prosecuted these claims;
each has received promise OF prompt
settlement and yet not a dollar has been
paid.
with European diplomatists II is m old
experience and they have consequently
been somewhat surprised at the announcer
ment that the United States are actually
going to insist upon performance instead
of promises.
Minister Angel. after trying his hand at
collection for two years, recommended that
United States warship be sent to seize
Smyrna and collect revenues ut the Gus
tom house there sufficient to moot our
claims. This suggestion was not seriously
entertained nor is 1t now, In the hrst
place according TO the state department
officials. most of the important busiEess
interests In Smyrna are In the hands OF
foreigners, not Turks. and a bombardment
by United States ship might result in a
pretty bill for damages against US. Then,
as there Is still remnant of Turkish
navy, the United States would have to
send a squadron Instead OF a single war
ship. Such movement would, wieioit
doubt, be resented by the remainder OF
Europe, which could not contemplate. with
equaniinlty an action by the United States

Political Equality Notes.

Parliamentary Suffrage has just
been granted to the women of West
Australia, who have had municipal
suffrage since 1871. Evidently they
must be ready for the ballot, if it is
true, as is generally asserted, that
when women are ready for the ballot,
they will get it.
The century just closing is not
remarkable for the opposition by the
remonstrants to the right of Woman
Suffrage, when we consider that in
1900, they were opposed to the study
of geography as unfeminine, and a
girl so doing was jeered at as, ''there
goes the geography girl.
But in 1910, geography was accept
ed and the protest was against ply
siology. In 1920 physiology was ac-
cepted, but geometry was objected
to. In 1880 geometry was accepted,
but collegiate education was con-
demned. In 1910 the college was
permitted, but remonstrance was now
made against equal P uperty rights
for married women. in 1850 the pro-
rerty laws are accepted, but now re-
monstrance was made to women speak
ing in public. In 1860 it was against
freedom of organization; in 1870, it
was against the professions for women;
in 1880, against school suffrage; in
In 1890 it was against women in office;
in 1870, the remonstrant accepts the
opportunities and privileges that
have been made possible by pro-
gressions and far seeing women and
broad minded men, during the decades
Of the nineteenth century. Statistics
show their number is increasing rap
idly and such an impetus has been
given the causes OF Woman Suffrage,
that who can say what the first decade
Of the twentieth century will show?
Bishop Gilbert Flayen of the Method
list church was president of the Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association in
1874 and was always, as long as he
lived, firm friend of equal rights.
A friend once expressed surprise when
hearing he had addressed suffrage
convention, the Bishop replied, Eyes,
| don't propose to fall in with the rear
of this reform. mean to march with
the procession. A true reform to
him was applied Christianity.

MilWaukee'S Third Carnival.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, June 26, ~, % and 30, will
be gala days for Milwaukee this sum-
mer They are the days of the third
annual carnival in which the entire
state Of Wisconsin is asked to partici-
pate. During that week everything
is given over to jollity-jollity OF the
kind that makes all happy and offends
none. There will be parades, brilliant
night fetes and almost innumerable
novelties, all of which will contribute
to make a carnival that shall more
than maintain the reputation Milwau-
kee has gained by two successful earn
iyals as leader in festival events.
The work of preparation is being
pushed with great vigor and with the
experience acquired on previous oc-
casions together with a greatly in
creased carnival spirit on the part Of
the public the predictions are that
all former efforts will be eclipscd by
the carnival of 1900.

The Sailing of The Relief Shin.

1T Is now certain that the India Re-

for the starving Hindoos some time
late in April. The ''Christian Herald

The question is whether the people of

as much more to complete the cargo.
