The American representatives who
attended the Congress Of Women at
Paris were surprised to find how little
advancement had been made by
Frenchwomen in securing their rights.

and even in Germany are still debat-
ed there.

Sahara's Water Supply.

The wells of Erg, in the Sahara
desert, occupy the bottom Of the de-
pressions. AS the surface Of the
ground in which they are excavated
is covered with thick layer Of sand
they have to be protected against the
falling in of the latter. Their very
narrow orifce is, therefore, hermetic-
ally closed by means of wide stones
sealed through a mortar composed of
sand and mud. Each caravan undoes
the work in order to obtain water
and then carefully seals the wells up
again before departing.

Pittsburgh River News.

PITTSBURGH, March LA rapid
rise in the river Is predicted, and a
stage of not less than fifteen feet OF
water IS expected. Last nights rains
were very heavy at all up-river points,
and the rain fall seems to have been
general throughout the Ohio Valley.
This viii cause the heavy floating ice
to disappear. and once more enable
steamboats, to navigate without much
difficulty. Very little Ice was floating
out OF the Allegheny river to-day, but
the MonongahelA bank was full OF It at
Pittsburgh. The stream should be free
Of ice by tomorrow morning,
Tho captains Of steamboats, tied up at
down-river points sent messages to
Pittsburgh to-day, stating that the ice
In the Ohio river was very heavy, but
they did not think It would last long
under the rain and warmer weather.
Many crews Of boats are waiting here
to 20 to their boats, and 1t Is expected
that all Of those tied up at down-rlver
points will be on the way home by to-
morrow night. The crews Of the Jim
Wood, Cruiser. Coal City. and Fallie
have left to bring them to Pittsburgh.
Some of the boats are within days

Last night the council committee or
finance was to have met to begin con-
sIderation of the annual appropriation
ordinance, but owing to the absence Of
a quorum no formal session was held
Those present included councilmer
Maxwell, Kindelberger. Chew and Nc
Mechen.
The committee intends to frame the
annual appropriation ordinance at the
earliest possible moment, and the COM
mittees in charge Of the several depart
ments of the city government are to
furnish their estimates in the near fu-
ture.
It is already well established that II
will be necessary to provide for spec
ial tax levy OF thIrty-seven or forty
cents, to cover the $4,000 compromise
loan obligation due in July-unless the
refund is again placed before the peo-
pie and It carries.
Sentiment now seems to be against
securing the end desired by a recount Of
the votes at the recent election, even
though such a step would prove to be
eminently proper, owing to the knowl-
edge that capital would look with doubt
upon such bond issue.
1t is more likely that council will be
asked to again place the refund issue
before the people, and the indications
seem to be that It win carry overwhelm-
ingly. AS one gentleman expressed tt
last night, 1.-THE Register fooled most Of
its readers the last time, but 1t can't
accomplish 1t again. for we see now
that heavy special tax Is necessary
without the refund, and Of course we
don't want that"
It is learned on excellent authority
that a member of the Register stan,
who was especially prominent in push
ing the antl-refund campaign in that
sheet, remarked Saturday night to a
Republican:
"Now we've got you where we want
you. You will have to make an extra
tax levy, and wen get a Democratic
council at the next city election"
So this is the "ntgger in the wood
pile" in this particular instance. What
do Republicans who voted against the
refund think of it? What do good clti-
zens, without regard to politics, who
desire the best interests Of the city
served, think of such motives being ex-
hibited in campaign in which no poll
ties properly had a placer
