WOMEN WANT VOTES
English Suffragists Storm Campbell
--Bannerman.

LONDON, May 21.A Escorted by forty
members of parliament. nearly 400 wo-
men suffragists. representing organiza-
tons from all parts of the country, III
terviewed Premier Campbell-B Banner
man at the foreign office and presented
their claims that women be allowed TO
vote.
Only eight members of the numerous
deputation were allowed to speak. and
a time limit was named.
The immediate grant of women's
rights was the unanimous demand of
the speakers, and one speaker men-
acingly declared that the women were
prepared to sacrifice their lives IN be-
half of their demands.
The premier smiled upon this
strangely assorted gathering of woni-
en-. including ladies of title side by
side with factory employees, and said
he sympathized with the object of the
deputation, but asked his visitors TO be
patient until the government became
more united in favor Of the extension
of the franchise to women.
Personally he believed that women
were as well qualified as men, and
perhaps better. to exercise the right to
vote. and, in his opinion, the deputa-
ton had made out a conclusive and ir
REPUTABLE case.
The premier wound up his remarks
with the statement that he believed
it would not be many years before
the desired change was brought about
This reference to years was met
with kissing from the members of the
deputation. who left the foreign office
evidently greatly dissatisfied.

FLAMES DESTROY OIL
SHEDS AT WAvERLY.
Thousands of Persons Watch Spec
taCular Fire in the Pennsylvania
Freight Wards.

NEWARK, May 21.-Thousands
of persons witnessed a spectacular
fire yesterday at Waverly, just south
of Newark, along the main line of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad. The blaze
started from some unexplained cause
in the oil storage establishment OF
the big freight yards of the Pennsyl-
vania, consisting of several sheds and
discarded freight cars, containing oils
of all kinds.
1t was a dangerous fire because OF
the close proximity of hundreds OF
thousands of dollars worth of other
property. Two alarms called a large
section of the Newark fire depart
ment to the scene, but all hat could
be done was to wet down surrounding
property and keep it saturated until
the burning oil, which sent flames
high into the air, was exhausted.
Before the arrival of the Newark
fremen three locomotives and a
.neighboring paper mill had several
streams at work. The three forces
combined managed to confine the fire
to the oil sheds, and the loss was not
more than $4,000.
People hocked TO the scene from
miles around, hundreds of them risk
ing their lives by crossing the busy
freight yard. Passengers on a score
of Pennsylvania trains had a good
view of the fire.

ment.
In weighing her sincerity it must be
emphasized hat she is willing to sacri'
fee 100000 which her husband had
agreed to give her in lieu of alimony

granted.

MBSHELL
FOR THE CAR
Refuses to Receive D%eputatiOn
from DOuma-- Fear Dissolution
and Civil War.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 81. - A
bomb was thrown into the parliament
tary camp by n note received by Presi-
len Muromtsehf of the lower house
from Peterhof. which, instead of MAX
ing an appointment for an audience at
which he and the deputatlon could pre-
sent the address in reply to the speech
from the throne, contained the Informal
ton that Emperor Nicholas would not
receive the deputation and that the adj
dress must he presented through the
ministry of the court.
Disconnected utterly at this unex-
pected development, the leaders of the
majority in the house hastily summon
ed a caucus of the Constitutional Dem
ocratic deputies. President Muromt-
self, instead of sending the address to
Baron Frederieks, minister of the inn
perial house. Immediately issued a call
for q. meeting of parliament today, at
which he will report the occurrence
and ask for further instructions. A
most heated meeting is in prospect.
The first disposition of the caucus of
Constitutional Democrats. which held
three sessions. was to regard the re-
fusal TO receive the deputatiOn as Il
challenger and an open affront which
was only answerable by a counter dec
laration of a The deputies were
red with rage, but after the first pas
sion had cooled the leaders realized
the danger, of too precipitate action and
set for themselves the task of bringing
their enraged followers under control.
The cooler councils seemed ultimate
ly to be prevailing, but it is almost
certain that the radical group, accom-
panied by a portion of the peasants,
wiILhdeak away and endeavor to force
the house into some fiery declaration
against the emperor and the govern
ment which will compel an immediate
rupture. and perhaps entail dissolution
and civil war.
Al correspondent was informed by
a member of the ministry that Emper-
or Nicholas was willing to receive
President Muromtseff, but that the ac-
ton of the house in appointing a dele
CATION TO accompany him was regarded
as a dangerous precedent. capable of
being stretched to include "a deputation
of any size. W. the whole of the
membership of the house.
1t was pointed on that no distinc-
ton had been made between the lower
house and the council of the empire
and that the last named body had also
been instructed to present its address
through the same channel.
1t is reported here that a plot has
been hatched at large meetings of mill
tary officers to surround the Tauride
palace. arrest all the members of the
parliament and proclaim General Ire
poff military dictator in the event of
Emperor Nicholas failing to abolish
the parliament.
