SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. 1S. 1901.

Tup .NNrA1 convention of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage Asso-
ciation isin session in Washington. Inc
main interest in the proceedings centres
ahout a new declaration Of principles
eobodied in "woman's bill of rights, "
presented by Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper,
Of q .ession of the executive committee
preliminary to the convention lnis
declaration sets forth that, though "our
toremotbers" bore an equal part in the
Revolution. its triumph brought TO them
M added rights, and through all the
following century and quarter taxation
without representation has been ICON
,innousIv imposed on women by as great
tyranny as King George exercised over
tho American colonists" 1t protests
AGAINST the injustice of non-representa'
t;on Of women in the affairs OF the ma
Ii IN In view OF the DllIlOn9 Vi
which they pay taxes, and demands ioI
the 4, 900 900 wage earning women o.
the country the same protection Oh 'D'
ballot as is possessed by wage earning men.
The convention is composed mainly OF oiu
maids, unhappily married women and
those who have nothing to do at home,
and all would be better engaged in darn
inc socks or attending to children-ii
thew have any--than holding meetings
and Cabling about the right OF suffrage.
In all probability if they we're granted
the right to vote this year they would
meet next year and advocate the disiran'
chisement of each other.

The Senate will, it is expected, devote
practically all of its time next week to
the consideration of the Panama canal
treaty with the hope of being able to
reach the final vote on its ratification to-
wards the end of the week, probably
Friday. Several speeches will be made
by Senator Morgan and Others in criti-
cism of the administrations attitude
towards Panama and Colombia and it is
expected that Mr.. Spooner will wind up
he debate for the republicans with a
speech defending the President and his
course. There are no important hearings
scheduled in committees during the
week. The appropriation committee is
making good progress with the big sup
ply bills. Most of next week in the
House will be devoted to the considera-
ton of the naval appropriation bill and,
if any time should remain, the District
of Colombia appropriation bill will be
brought up. Gen. Grosvenor OF OHIO,
will renew his effort to secure place on
the calendar as a special continuing or
der for the bill creating a commission TO
investigate the needs of the American

Secretary Hays Note.

Washington, Feb. l3. The following
official explanation of Secretary Hays
circular note sent to the powers>was made
this morning:
"After some preliminary exchange Of
views between this government and the
governments of other powers interested
in Chinese matters, the Department OF
State, on the 10th Of February, sent the
following instruction to the American
representatives in st. Petersburg, Toxic
and Peking:
"'You will express 10 the Minister tor
foreign affairs the earnest desire of the
government of the United States that
in the course of the military operations
which have begun between Russia and
Japan the neutrality of China and in all
practicable ways her administrative en-
tity shall be respected by both parties,
and that the area of hostilities shall be
localized and limited as much as posi-
bic, so that undue excitement and dis
turbauce OF the Chinese people may be
prevented and the least loss to the COM
MERGE and peaceful intercO curse of the
world may be occasioned.'
cat the same time this Government
informed all the powers signatory of the
protocol al Peking of its action, and re-
quested similar action on their part"
In further explanation it was said this
morning that the whole purpose of the
United States was primarily to protect
the interests of the United States in
China, and secondarily to save China
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1904-02-13

from anarchy and ruin" Considerable
regret is expressed that European diple-
mats should pursue their old line OF sus-
picion and distrust.
It's apparent both from the publication
of the circular note and the comment
which accompanied it that the State De-
partment knows of Russia's disapproyal
of the proposition. This probably was
conveyed verbally to Ambassador Nc
Cormick at st. Petersburg and by him
transmitted to Washington. Japan's APP
prevail was conveyed two days ago. Ac-
cording to high authority Russia's
refusal to consent to the neutrality of
China means her assumption of all re.
sporsibility. There is no world league OF
powers against her and there will
be none, but when the conflict is
ended the powers are more than
likely to act concurrently to force her
out of Manchuria and to restrict her
future operations in Asia. "She is go
ing it at her own risk" are the words
employed in describing the situation
and the phrase seems full of menace to
Russia.
Sir Chentung Liang Cheug, the
Chinese Minister, called upon Secretary
Hay this morning to announce that his
government had issued a restriction
proclamation of neutrality" He also
presented the condolences of the Chinese
Emperor to the Presidentupon the Balti-
more fire. Minister .Takahira likewise
came to the department, but so far as
can be learned brought no news, but in
fact sought news.

Virginia Legislature.
SENATE.

The Senate yesterday heard arguments
on the resolution offered by Mr.. Kee-
cell declaring its sense that the State
board of education should adopt the sin
gle system of books for use in the public
schools. The board a few weeks ago de-
cided to indorse several book systems,
from which the local boards are TO make
selections.
Mr.. Keezell commended that the single
system is required by the constitution,
and that its adoption would result in
saving to school patrons OF one-thlrd the
cost of the books.
A vote may be taken on the resolution
today. The legislature, however, has
no power to compel the State board to
adopt any particular policy, although its
opinion will doubtless have considerable
weight, more especially because of the
argument that single system will save
thousands of dollars to the patrons Of
public schools in Virginia. Gov. Mon
tague favors the single system.
HOUSE.
As stated in the Gazette, bill was Of
fered by Mr.. Stewart, of Portsmouth, by
request, to redistrict the State. 1t com
pletey changes the present arrangement
and affects every district. The classifi
cation will cause much discussion, al
though there is small chance Of the bills
passage in its present shape.
The arrangement of the Eighth district

depleted oyster bedss by Mr.. Withers, Of

lines. The argument will be continued
TODAY and Monday and final vote will
be taken at l 80 Tuesday afternoon.
Bills passed by the House included
that requiring theaters to provide a

sent to the University of Virginia and
every school in the State.

that NJ. Pavlof, Russian Minister to
Korea, has left Seoul for home.
One feature of the situation this morn
ing. which is causing considerable com
me e in some quarters, is the possibility
of outside nations being drawn into the
imbroglio. 1t is said that should either
of the combatants gain two or three de,
cisiye victories, the result might compel
the allies of the beaten power to take a
hand. openly or secretly, which would
in turn precipitate wholesale protest aud
perhap a clash of all Europe which has
been time and again prophesied.
The telegram received by Baron Hay
ashi. the Japanese minister from Toxic
this morning is significant. The telegram
states that the Russian Minister and his
staff, together with all the Russian IN
habitants of the Korean capital, have LETT
for home. Hayashi says this withdrawal
is due to a rebuff received by the Minis
ter. but this is taken as weak reason.
The real cause for the departure, 1t Is
generally believed, is that Japan has to
all intents completed its occupation OF
Seoul, and the Russians naturally with
drew from territory within the enemy
power.
Constantinople, Feb. 13.-The Rus
sian ambassador had a long audience
with the Sultan yesterday. 1t is believed
the matter under discussion was the de-
sire of the Russian government TO OBJ
tain permission to send its Black Sea
fleet through the Dardanelles.
Copenhagen, Feb. 19.-The Russian
Baltic feet is reported to be still at Kron-
stadt, where an ice breaker is keeping
the channel open. The reports that the
fleet had been seen at Kattegat were err
roneous, inasmuoh as the vessels have not
yetpassed through Elsinore channel.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1904-02-13

JUST what Secretary Hay means in
his note to the powers by 'limiting the
zone of hostilities" between Russia and
Japan is not stated at the State Depart
ment 1t is believed, however, that
he has laid down certain geographical
limits in which he proposes that the
neutral powers shall allow the war to be
fought and that he proposes that both
belligerents be made to keep within
those stated limits. This action is adj
mittedly without precedent and looks
as though Mr.. Hay would get this
country involved in foreign entangle-
ments if Quitting in" would do so.

Secretary Hays note on the subject
of China's neutrality has not been form

The Senate yesterday considered bill
to pay ex-Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii
5000, 900 in satisfaction of all claims,
illegal and equitable " Considerable
opposition developed. Speeches in sup
port of the bill were made by Mr.. Black
burn and Mr. Mitchell, and in opposi-
ton by Mr.. Spooner and Mr.. Plat, OF
Connecticut, Mr.. Spooner moved to re-
commit the measure, but the vote on this
motion failed to develop quorum, and
the Senate was thus forced to adjourn.
A man who said he was Charles Yeager,
broke into the Catholic Church of the
Presentation at Cheltenham, Pa, yester-
day, and smashed altar fixtures and dec
orations to the value of $4,000. Can
delabra and crucifxes, the baptismal font
and the Tabernacle of the Blessed Virgins
altar were reduced to fragments under
his fury of demolition. Yeager fought
desperately and was badly beaten before
he was oyerpowered and tied hand and
foot. When the parishioners heard of
the dissertation of their church there was
talk of lynching. He says hatred for
Catholics caused him to commit the act.
1t is believed he intended to burn the
church. Some think the man is insane.

New York Stock Market.

New York, Feb. 49,, II a. m.-The
attendance was light at the stock ex-
change and the market was almost life
less. There was no selling pressure in any
direction, and prices were fractionally
higher in response to the improvement
abroad, not only in international issues,
but in American Railway shares. Ad-
vances averaged ! to I per cent. In
the industrials the gain in prices were
about the same as in the railroad de-
pertinent. After the first half hour,
however, there was little tendency in
prices to sag.
