Though it was in the east the suf-
frage movement was started, it is In
the west that we find the suffrage
states to-day-Colorado, Utah, Wyo-
ming, Idaho. Wyoming was the first
place in the United States to enfran-
chise women, back in 1869 the terri
torial legislature giving full suffrage.
Utah gave women the suffrage in 1870.
congress diSfranchised them in 1887.
and in 1895 the suffrage amendment
restored their rights. ALI political
parties in Idaho favored giving women
the vote, and the suffrage amendment
passed there with very little trouble.
To-day, though women have gained
several legal and some political rights
by means of the years of suffrage agi-
tatlon, there is noticeable the same old
apathy as formerly on the part Of
feminity in general as to the right TO
vote; and there is noticeable strong
anti-suffrage agitation. Women band
themselves together to combat the
struggle of the suffragists, come out
openly to contest having political bur-
dens thrust upon them. The Catholic
World, in an editorial entitled "Twen-
ty-five Years of Woman's Suffrage"
thus summarizes the Indifference and
opposition shown in the time men,
toned: 1T has come to be demonstrate
ed that women do not want the right
to vote. Outside the small coterie OF
agitators, the rank and file of the
women have never betrayed burning
desire to rush to the polls. When the

GEN. TYNER And
BARRETT FREE
Jury Acquits Former Postofice
Officials of Conspiracy
Charge.

Washington, May 26.-General
James N. Tyner and his nephew, Har-
rison J. Barrett, were acquitted by
the jury who tried them on charges
of conspiracy in connection with their
duties as law officers Of the postoffice
department.
General Tyner was postmaster
general in the last year Of President
Grants second term and afterwards
became assistant attorney general to
the department. His great age and
feeble condition made him an object
of special consideration during the
trial.
The case has been before the court
nineteen full days. The prosecution
brought forward an army Of wit
nesses, a majority Of whom were for
mer officers of bond investment COM
panies, thru which Barrett was al
legged to have profitted after he left
the postoffce department by practic-
ing before his uncle, who remained in
the department.
The principal arguments were made
by A. s. Worthtngton. for the defense,
and Major Holmes Conrad, special
counsel for the government, for the
prosecution.
Judge Pritchard emphasized the
fact that the jury should not be In
f1uenced by prejudice on the one hand
ror sympathy on the other, and said
the case should be tried solely on its
merits and without regard to what
effect the verdict might have on the
public mind.

RUSSIAN OFFICERS
THRILLING ESCAPE
How the Petropavlovsk Went
Down Is Told by Lieuten-
ant Schmidt.

st. Petersburg, May 26.-Captain
Jakovleff, former commander Of the
Russian battleship Petropavlovsk, and
Lieutenant Schmidt, the late Vice Adj
miral Makaroff's aide-de-camp, have
returned here.
Schmidt tells a remarkable story Of
his escape. He was busy entering up
the admiraTs log when the explosion
occurred. He Jumped out Of the chart
room onto the bridge Of the flagship,
which was lunging from one side to
the other. He saw Admiral Makaroff
and Grand Duke CYRIL clinging to the
end Of the bridge.
Almost instantly the great ship put
her head down and plunged straight
to the bottom. Schmidt held tight to
the rail of the bridge and as she went
down, he looked up and saw the stern
with 100 seamen clinging to it, tow
ering above him.
The aide-de-camp was carried far
below the surface, but was suddenly
shot up by tn escaping OF a smass of
imprisoned air from the ship. He
caught a piece of wreckage and es-
capped without a scratch.
Captain Jakovleff does not know
how he escaped. When the explosion
occurred he lost consciousness and
came to his senses in the hospital.

turning to the far east with the Baltic

Special to The Journal
Madison. Wis, May 25.-President
G. r. Van Hise of the University of
Wisconsin was repeatedly Missed by
1000 students at convocation to-day.
The students resented his statement
that he sometimes wonders whether
or not the state is justified in support
ing this university, considering the
class Of students attending it,
The president was wrathful because
some one last night put up posters
on the university grounds reading,
ITO hell with the Jubilee" referring
to the fftieth anniversary celebration
and Inauguration OF President Van
Hise next month.
At the prejubilee banquet of the
students several weeks ago, President
Van Hise humorously announced that,
as a jubilee gift to the students, the
faculty had decided not to hold any
examinations at the end of the pres
emit semester. This announcement was
received with great enthusiasm by the
students. Two days later the presi-
dent announced that his statement
was only a joke, and that the students
who had taken it seriously were lack
ing in a proper sense of humor. Since
that time a feeling of resentment has
been growing among the students,
which broke out in the disgracefu1
demonstration to-day.
Hundreds of students threaten to
|, go home next week and refrain from
taking any party in the Jubilee.
