WoMANHooD AND CHILDHOOD

 COuneiIo of Women.

Washington, April 9.-Many women 1 internationally prominent ill the move ment for the betterment of womanhood
 and childhood assembled at the First
 Congregational church to-day, when the fifth triennial meeting of the Ma
 tional Council of Women of the United
 States was called to order by the pres
 ident, Mrs. Mary Wood Swift. Miss
 Susan B. Anthony, one of the pioneers
 of. the woman suffrage movement, re-
 ceived an ovation. Addresses outling { the purposes of the council were made i by Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, Mrs. Mary
 Church, Terrell, Mrs. Kate Waller Bar rett, Mrs. Hanna c. Solomon and Mrs.
 May Wright Sewall, ft l Mrs. Foster said the legend of the
 council was Lead, Kindly Light" i This, she said, means not standing
 still, but moving forward. Every
 creed, she added, is here in the council, and every woman may stand for her own. In no non-Christian country could such an organization have been ] born, nor in any country except a re- l public. ... s. ..- ... <s.s.s <. .- ss. 1 Mrs. Terrell spoke of citizenship from a woman's point of view, and in this
 she touched on problems confronting 1 the colored women. ''The colored wom- en of the country" she said, "are doing | as much to promote good citizenship as
 their more fortunate sisters in white.
 This is interpreted by them to mean an
 intelligent regard and tender care of | their children and a conscientious and careful consideration of every question which concerns the welfare of the
 race" *. ...s.....ss,.z s-....... She criticised the convict camp sys- tenn of the south and said that many
 good people sympathize deeply with the oppressed peasants of Russia, who either do not know or forget that there
 are hundreds of colored men and Wom- l en in the United States subjected to tortures as diabolical as those inflicted
 upon Russia's oppressed classes.
 "Colored women,' she concluded. sbe- lieve that good citizenship means the protection of the womanhood of the race, insisting that the men who trans
 gress the moral law shall be banished
 from good society as inevitably as the
 women they destroy''
 l Mrs, Solomon brought the greetings ] of the National Jewish Council of
 Women. '"The religion which I repre-
 sent she said. has something of har-
 mony of all religious, for Judea gave l tile world it's civilized region. No na- l ton which loses it's religion can sur Ivive. Here in the council all creedss can 1 get along together by doing justice to I all.n

This would be followed by the singing of a hymn then, i'll an excited manner, he would deliver a sermon but his congregation by this time generally was reduced to nothing.

VLAD1VosToK SQUADRON.
Relief That It Hes Received Orders to 4 z. Put to Sea.

St. Petersburg, April 10:--12:40 a. m There is reason to believe that Vice Ad- rniral Roiestvensky's entrance into the China sea has been followed by orders for the cruisers Gromoboi, Rossia and Bogattyr, which have been ready for sea. Whether it is the intention to send them south immediately or to hold them in the vicinity of Vladiyostok is not known. e,
 < Their appearance outside the road stead of yladivostok would constitute q potential threat against Admiral Togo's s rear, which will compel the retention in or dispatch of a number of heavy fighting ships to Japanese waters. Thus Admiral Togo seems to be virtually placed between two fires.
 The peace influences in the govern ment urge that this favorable strategic position presents the psychological mo- ment for offering officially the olive branch to Japan, reasoning that no matter how confident the Japanese government may be of Togo's victory it cannot. overlook the possibility of de- feat, nor fail to appreciate the complete disaster which would follow the trans fer Of the mastery of the sea to Russia. With so much depending upon the is sue, they argue, both countries have mutual interests in avoiding an actual test, and it is not impossible therefore, that a new move in the direction Of peace may come just as the world ex- poets to hear the call to quarters for the greatest naval battle of modern times.
 Certainly the spirits of the war party have been greatly raised by Roiestven- sky's success in penetrating to the Chi na Sea; and the prospect of naval battle, even with the odds against a Russian victory, which would change the entire complexion of the situation, has aroused something like flash of enthusiasm in many Russian breasts.
 Some naval officers express the opin- ion that Rojestvensky, having now safely navigated the straits, instead of sailing north to meet the Japanese, can afford to calmly await vice-Admiral Nebogatoff with his division of the squadron, who could arrive there in about three weeks. ..-
 The Russian admiralty on Sunday re- ceived a long dispatch from Singapore, but no intimation as to it's contents has beaa given to the newspapers. The papers Sunday morning printed Singa- pore dispatches without comment, the Sviet being the only exception. This paper views the news from Rojestven- sky as an suspicious prelude to decis- i've battle, (which may show that over Rojestvensky still shines the happy star which helped him, when lieuten- ant, to save the fragile vesta in an un- equal conflict with Turkish battle ship"
 The Sviet expresses the hope that Rojestvensky is destined to turn the ta- bles, and that even in case of defeat some of his vessels will be able to break through and reach the Japanese sea.

DEPENDS RooKEFELLER GIFT.
Blameworthy and Praiseworthy Meth- ods-HeIp to Kingdom of God.

Brunswick, April 9.--In his sermon to-day Rev. Herbert A. Jump, pastor of the Congregational church defended the action of the prudential committee of the American Board of Commission CTS for Foreign Missions in recommend ing the acceptance of the gift of siO0,- 900 from John D. Rockefeller. Nh. Jump said in part:
 MT. Rockefeller is both a money earner and money dispenser. He may employ blameworthy methods in earn ing money, but he surely employs prafseworthy methods in dispensing it. It is against the methods of earning the money that the clergyrnen protest, but not against the methods of giving it away. The money was earned by Mr. Rockefeller in business atchless for; enterprise. It was not stolen, but 1t was fairly earned. The American
 board haa 9 legal and moral right to
 accept it, and while the Christian church may protest against MT. Rocke- feller's methods of earning the money. in the meantime 1t can use the money for carrying on work that will help the
 kingdom of God.''

DR. HILLS AGAINST ROCKEFELLER GIFT
sADDEST WORDS WRITTEN IN
 THIS GENERATION.

Noted Divine Credits Them to oil
 Kings son--Economic Argument of
 the Young Man All wrong--Little
 Wonder That There is no Gratitude
 for Such Gifts as RockefeIIer's.
 New York. April s.-In the course of his sermon in Plymouth church, Brook lyn, to-day. the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hills. referred to the gift of slOO,00O made by John D. Rockefeller to the American Board of Foreign Missions. and to Mir Rockefller's son. He said in part:
 The saddest words that have ever been written in this generation were spoken before Brown university by a young man who is to inherit one of the greatest fortunes in this country. They were spoken in defense of the trusts. Listen to them: The American beauty rose can be produced in all its splendor only by sacrificing the early buds that grow up around it. The rose has one thousand buds and in order to produce the American beauty the gardener goes around it with a knife and snips nine hundred and ninety-nine in order that all the strength and beauty may be forc- ed into one bloom. In his economic ar- gument this young man tells the work ing classes brutally that 999 small brs- iness men must be snuffed out Sof ex- istence in order that his American beauty, the trust, may be produced. Listen to Christ: Let the strong bear the burdens of the weak and again: Give and it shall be given unto you
 These words in defense of the trusts are the most heart breaking things in literature to those who know what is going to come in the future. Can you wonder that after that, when man gives gifts we have no gratitude in re. turn?''

MADRID REsERVo1R DISASTER.
Alleged Cause of the TrouBle-2se
 Known to be Lost.

Madrid, April 9.-It appears that un- derneath the foundations of the reser- yoir which gave way with such disas- trous results on Saturday were water pipes used to supply the palace and old Madrid. It is stated that this was the cause of the subsistence, and not the surface of the ground. which, when tests were made, sank only eleven milli- metres. The vault was built of cement with iron girders as were also the sup porting column. The first fall caused all the pillars to bend and the end of the ironworl1 to stretch, resulting in a general and uniform collapse. These ex- plantations, however, cannot be eonsid- cred as final.
 Madrid newspapers publish asser- tions that the disaster had been fore seen by engineers as well as by work men It Is now recalled that the bad condition of the soil on which the reser- voir was constructed caused keen op- position and numerous criticisms when the scheme was being discussed in the cortes.
 Workmen who have been questioned say that they were compelled to build rapidly with building materials so de- fective that disastetr was bound to happen.
 Many heartrending incidents and painful scenes are reported. Ten of those who were rescued alive have gone mad.
 A huge crowd stood around the scene throughout the night watching the at tempts at rescue. in the light of huge electric lamps.
 Crowds of workmen and women car rying black flags forced all the theaters to close Saturday night.
 King Alfonso had a telephone wire laid from the scene of the disaster to the place and by that means was kept constantly informed. His majesty again visited the hospitals this morn ing.
 Some of the injured have died.
 One body was recovered from the ruins during. the night but none later Seven hundred workmen are engaged in clearing the debris.
 During the day students and work men paraded the streets collecting money for the families of victims of the disaster. The public Is contributing freely.
 The governor of Madrid has prohibit ed a great popular demonstration ot mourning which the workmen wish to organize, but he received delegates o1 the workmens $ associations. whom he informed that a street procession would be permitted under certain restrictions
 An exact estimate of the casualties k still impossible. It is stated that there were 2S6 men in the lower part of tht reservoir, all of whom were killed.
