Although it is denied by the officials that
an order to this effect has been sent out from

frankly that there has been IAN understand

At the time this decision was promulgated
there were about 100 women in the employ

MRS. CATvTos ADDRESS
The Feature Of the National w oma N 8
SufIraEe Convention.

The Feature Of the National Woma n
Suffrage Convention.
Washington, Feb 1.-THE feature of tn,
public session of the National Womans SUI
frage convention to-day was the address o
Mrs Carrie Chapman Gait of New York city
the president Of the association. Mrs. Cat
said:
Hard upon the track of the man suffrage
movement presses the movement for woman
suffrage, logical step onward. 1t has come
as inevitably and as naturally as the flower
unfolds from the bud or as the fruit develops
from the flower. Why should woman suffrage
not come? Men throughout the world hold
their suffrage by the guarantee of the two
principles of liberty, and for these reasons
only. One, taxation without representation
is tyranny; who dares deny it? And are
not women taxed? The other, governments
derive their just powers from the consent OF
the governed. How simple and unanswerable
is that petition of justice. And are not wom-
en- governed? These axioms have been trans
lated into every tongue and Numbered forth
in eloquent plea in every civilized land. Be-
for their logic the most cherished of ancient
prejudices have yielded; and can their logic
fail at last? More, the world has put new
and unanswerable logic into the mouths OF
our advocates.
The future belongs to the book, not the
sword; 1t belongs TO HE : ana not TO QedLl,
pealed out the voice of Victor Hugo. The
world nodded and exclaimed, True, the sword
is passing and the rule of the book is com
ing in Then we may ask, since woman may
read the book and write the book, why should
she have no share in the government of which
the book stands the chief prop and support
And who can answer?
''The president of Stanford University said:
The function OF democracy is not to make
governments good. It is to make men strong.
The world approves and adds that the state
ment is the clearest possible definition of the
difference between the old, when men existed
for the government, and the new, when gov
5ernments exist TOR men. But we may ask
if democracy is a means Of making men
strong, is there any good reason for keeping
w omen weak that we should deny them the
same chance to grow strong?
"A campaigner in the recent New York
municipal campaign plead eloquently with the
women to lend their aid. Said he: 1T is the
proud duty of the women of this city to adj
wise men how to vote, since they have more
time than men to intelligently learn to COM
prehend the situation and every Low fol-
lower echoed: True If women are COM
petent to teach men how to vote. why may
they not vote themselves?
''fhese are the arguments the world has
put into our mouths. Their logic can no
more be disputed than can that of the null
tiplication table. Surely, the world cannot
long withstand the force OF It,

NEW GOLD DISTRICT
Sturgeon Lake Country Said to Be
Fabulously Wealthy.
MILLIONS IN QUARTZ EXPOSED
Accumulated Gold on the Surface
Also Ready for the Placer

MILLIONS IN QUARTZ EXPOSED
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Superior, Wis, Feb. 12.-If reports OF
the gold discoveries in the Sturgeon
Lake district, north Of the Canadian Pa
chic railway, have not been exaggerated,
that section of the dominion Is going to
surpass the Klondike and the gold fields
of the African Rand. Explorers, pros
pectorss miners and mining experts who
have been to the new district, which is
not far from Port Arthur, report that it
is the richest yet discovered in western
Ontario. The district was first discovered
two years ago by Pete King, an adyen-
turous and well known explorer of that
locality. Samples of gold quartz from his
discoveries were practically one-fourth
gold. r-'.. - ~.
These specimens were enough to set the
tide of prospectors toward that locality,
and several hundred have gone into that
country, some Of them, according to the
reports, meeting with success. Several
mining companies operating in western
Ontario also sent agents into the field and
the discoveries of the latter have been
rich enough to warrant the companies
abandoning their workings in the western
Ontario region and removing their plants
and capital to the Sturgeon>Lake district.
a. Visible Gold in Rocks.
Up to this thine the most important de-
velopments have been made on what is
known as the Steele property, owned by q
company of Saginaw millionaire lumber
men. The ore body of this mine is said to
! be fully 1900 feet in width and extends in
length distance of two or three miles.
The vein or reef has been opened up by
cross cuts on the surface, some Of them
over 200 feet in length, and SO rich in ore
that by throwing a bucket of water on the
vein anywhere in the cut visible gold can
be seen In the rocks for several feet
around. 1t is estimated that several mil
lion dollars worth of gold quartz is now
exposed and ready for the stamp mill.
The Saginaw people have purchased other
claims said to be even richer than the
Steele mine.
A Wisconsin company has opened the
rich vein discovered by Pete King, and Is
now taking in a stamp mill. This COM
pany Is also negotiating for two locations

A QUEENS VISIT
Queen Margherita Will Come to
America IncOEnitO.9

Rome, Feb. 1O.-Dowager Queen Marguerite
has expressed an intention of visiting Ameri
ca, strictly incognito, as the Countess Stu
pinigi.
She will 60 to New York, Niagara Falls,
Yellowstone Park, and perhaps as far west
as California.
Her proposed visit to the United States
is recommended by her physicians as means
of relief from her sorrows.
Her suite on the trip will include the Mar
quise Villamarina and her chamberlain, the
Marquise Capranice del Grillo, who is son
of the famous actress. Adelaide Ristori.
Queen Margherita is the widow Of the late
King Humbert. Since the assassination of
her royal husband she has lived quietly in her
secluded residence on the Pincian hill in
Rome. She is highly accomplished, speak
ing more than q dozen languages, including
English. One Of the most striking features
OF her character is mysticism. Nothing in
the field Of the supernatural seems impossible
or absurd to her.

WAR ON The SWEATSH0PS
WIS. WOMEN BEHIND A novEMEN,
Merchants Petitioned Not to Buy o

Special to The Journel.
GAINESVILLE, Wis, Feb. 12.-Wo1nen prom
inent in society circles in southern Wisconsin
have started strong movement to deal a
death blow to the sweat shop system as now
carried on in the city Of Chicago.
In this city the work has been taken up
by the wife of ex-State Senator A. P. Love-
JOY, as we'll as by hundreds Of ladies who
are wives of members ofs1ocal labor unions.
Petitions are being circulated appealing to
the merchants Of southern Wisconsin not to
purchase of Chicago wholesale dealers any
class Of goods that come from the sweat shop
district. The WOMEN assert that the move
ment is being taken up in all the western
states, and that in time it will have the
effect Of closing these places of horror In
all the large cities.

fall. The vein is an immense reef, sew
enty-fve to eighty feet in width, extend
ing through belt of porphyry for an in
definite distance. Along the foot wall Of
this vein there is. said to be a pay streak
four feet in width, two feet Of which will
run about $1,000 to $4,000 per ton.
An English company is opening up some
claims in the northeast bay of the lake,
and the ore from the vein is SO rich that
the management cannot estimate the av-
erage values. Dazzling specimens of gold
quartz are exhibited
Near the English companys claim is a
location where two prospectors put into
use an improvised stamp mill, consisting
OF chain attached to sapling at one
end and stone at the other, using fiat
rock as a mortar bed. The ore from this
vein Is of such richness that the prospect
ors in a few days were able with this
crude device to obtain a large amount of
gold.
Placer Fields Also.
For several months rumors have been
a1oat that rich gold placer fields have
been found in the Sturgeon lake country,
but little credit was given to the reports.
1t now turns out however, that the re-
ports were we'll founded. The full extent
and character of the placer fields are not
yet known, but owing to the immense
richness and great extent of the gold
bearing reefs Of the Sturgeon Lake coun-
try there is seemingly no doubt that a
large portion of the exposed surface of
these reefs has decomposed, leaving the
accumulated gold lying on the surface
ready for placer mining.
Sturgeon Lake Is about fifty miles north
Of the Canadian Pacific railway and Is
reached by stage from Ignace station,
but the Ontario government has surveyed
wagon road from Bonheur, which
touches the road at distance of forty
three miles from the railroad
