The station master said that the porter should have these good things across in no time. and then he piloted his unexpected guests oyer the snow to his house. Miss Cherriton thought she had never seen such a sight.

were the reports of officers and addresses
by Miss e. Harriet Stanwood of Boston,
Miss Caroline E. Forest of Africa, Miss

Miss Helen E. Chandler of India.
The report of the home department was
read by Miss e. Harriet Standwood of Bos-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. there are 1,150 senior
societies and more than six hundred So

The united study plan has succeeded be-
yond the most sanguine expectations. There
are 1855 young women's societies. 210 mis-

has been taken which has tended to the
advancement Of education throughout a

One Of the marvels Of the age is the APP
pearance Of q daily paper for women in
Picking, edited by q woman, the only one to
be found anywhere in the world. 1t is not
a Christian woman who edits II, but 1t Is
filed with strange and new thoughts. Mis-

AIM UF STANDPATTERS
WILL TRY TO DIVERT POPULAR
ATTENTION FROM THE TARIFF.

II do not construe the result of the cleo
tons as a verdict in favor OF tariff re-
vision" said Senator Burrows of Michigan.
who came to town today. II do not believe
the country Is clamoring for revision.
However, IL II must come. II ought to
come at a special session of Congress and
not be postponed until the eve OF the pres
idential election"
Senator Burrows has a vivid recollection
OF the danger of tackling the tariff ques-
ton just before a presidential election. He
was second In rank on the ways and means
committee OF the House when the Mckinley
tariff bill was passed within a month Of
election and the democratic landslide swept
the republicans out of power. root and
branch, and put Grover Cleveland In the
White House for the second term. s
Senator Burrows. in his foregoing state
ment reflects the views of the '.standpat-
tiers" in Congress. They will desperately
oppose all revision talk, and, man for man.
they stubbornly insist that the late cleo
lions wrote no warning upon the wall. But
II the worst comes to the worst they will
demand an extra session.
1t is known that the present administra-
ton In the House is very fearful OF not
being able to Organize" the next House. In
event of a special session. on the present
satisfactory stand-pat basis The Canuons
Paynes and DalZells realize that they are
facing difficult situation in the reduction
OF their big majority and the consequent
INFUSION OF new and radical blood In the
House membership.
The tariff revisionists form militant
faction In the House, and their nupber
will be materially reinforced In the Six
tieth Congress. They are doggedly de-
termined to have a readjustment OF tho
Dingley schedules. "even If We have to ride
down our organization as one of them

The standpatters will try at the coming
session of Congress to divert attention from
the tariff as much possible, and to that
end will join with a glad cry in the talk
over the Presidents new schemes of wealth

with which to interest the public. and will

Some forty typewriters. many years out

sets of shelves, boxes of rubber bands and
colored seals and other odds and ends were
displayed on the grass at the corner OF 9th
and G streets. The auctioneer took his
place on top Of table and set to work
about 10 o'clock. The prices ranged from
10 cents to several dollars. --s
Much sentimental interest was centered
IN the sale Of big safe. that looked as II

and the key was wedged into the lock 30
tightly that nobody could get 1t out 1t was
the general opinion, though not expressed
by the auctioneer. that 1t would cost more
to take the safe from the building than It
was worth.
The safe has a history. which the auc-
tioneer failed to mention. 1t 10 claimed by
oldtimers about the patent once that 1t

Former Chief Clerk E v. Shepard was
the last man to get into trouble with 1t.
One day, suspicion having attached itself
to him, q committee was called by the
commissioner of patents to meet I'm his
office, and there an examination and record
were made Of number OF returned regis
tered letters, containing in all several
hundreds of dollars. These letters were
then placed In the ponderous safe and the
key turned.
MI Shepard was asked to take charge of
the safe and the key was given to him.
He had the mysterious thing hauled into
his little private office and kept II there
for q day or So after which he announced
he had found there was no record Of its
contents, and turned 1t over to the f1nan-
cial clerk. The committee then got to
work and discovered that a large part Of
the money In the safe was missing. Very
soon Mr.. Shepard resigned. He was never
prosecuted. although wide publicity was
given to the affair.
A lot of old furniture belonging to other
offices in the Interior Department was also
sold this morning. 1t was collected on the
lawn at the corner of 9th and streets.
Persons passing by on the street appeared
to be much interested In the government
housekeeping.

CLAMOROUS ON TARIFF
IOWANS ARE INTERESTED IN
-,--. BUT ONE TOPIC.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who got
back from Iowa yesterday. where he went
to vote and visit, started in this morning on
the accumulated work on his desk like q
Rocky mountain snow pillow burrowing
through fOrty-foot drift. A Star reporter
who visited the department this morning
found the Secretary sorting out some papers
with his left hand, writing telegram with
the other and debating to two stenographers
simultaneously. But even at that the Sec
rotary found time. without hardly inter-
rupting the flow W government business, to
remark that the corn crop Of Iowa and
neighboring states is simply enormous this
year. and that farmers are offering four
cents q bushel for huskers and not getting
the labor at that or any other price.
Secretary Wilson didn't care to comment
on the reprimand that he must hand to
Prof. Willis Moore Of the weather bureau
by direction of President Roosevelt. The
Secretary hasn't got around to that az
yet. Just at present many matters relating
and a hundred other things as well. de-
mand the attention Of the head Of the de-
partment.
The innocent question. How are things
out your way?" got a little bit Of rise
'a "W Ee ' he es said. Urn tell you. The peo-
pie out my way want to know something
about the tariff. Some time ago there was
a demand for more knowledge concerning
the extent and operations of the big cor
porations Of the country, and the President
and his supporters went to work to satisfy
the demand. Now we have a bureau OF
corporations and the knowledge Is being
gained. Then there came a demand for
the more adequate regulation Of railroad
rates. and the President and his supporters
went to work and got from Congress a
railroad rate law. Well. nowadays find
that people out my way want to know
something of the tariff. They don't want
somebody else to get the knowledge; they
want 1t themselves. And they believe
moreover, that general knowledge of the
tariff and the manner in which the exist
ing schedules work or do not work should
be dfffused before we go ahead too fast or
else back into the breeching."
well, how about began the reporter.
Further than that deponent sayeth not, %
interrupted the Secretary as he turned to
his desk and resumed the snow pillow act.
