IL women have 10 be given the
right to vote In order that the cause
OF prohibition may carry why has not
Wyoming-which has had female suf-
frage for over thirty years--brough
about prohibition In that state?
Is there any more indication OF
securing prohibition law in Colorado
now than there was before that law
was passed? Has suffrage done any
thing for prohibition in either Utah
or Idaho? Not one thing. Before
ranting about woman suffrage Mr..
Wooley should ask himself a few
qeustions like these.
Let us look at home. Mrs. Duni-
way. the president OF the Woman's
Suffrage OF Oregon, and by far the
sblest advocate of the cause in this
states is an anti-prohibtionist and in
her cabinet" as she calls IL. she has
surrounded herself with other women
who hold the same views. How then
can Mr., Wooley. or anyone else, ex-
pect any sympathy or aid from grant
ing women the ballot? And there Is
the Hon. Jen, Myers, who Is ever
lastingly trotting round the country
with other old women preaching suf-
frage, who is hop-grower and who
on introducing one OF the advocates
OF suffrage 20 an audience. openly
declared that the women when they
become voters will never do anything
10 injure the hop trade. Mr.. Wooley
should know these facts. and II he is
man OF good sense, he will in future
conflne himself TO prohibition and
leave female suffrage 10 take care OF
itself. When the next election takes
place and this craze is Knocked on
the head with a sledge hammer OF
$4,000 votes, We think he will begin
10 sing another song.

Style Of Architecture.

Style Of Architecture.
OF course there is no telling what style
will ultimately be selected for the building.
but 1t probably will be something in the
line of Spanish or Latin-American archi-
lecture. The limit OF price is 100000 for
the building complete, donated by Andrew
Carnegie. There has already been paid
100000 for the ground, which is the old
Van Ness Park. There will be five acres
at the disposal Of the bureau, and this will
allow, in addition to locating any sort of a
building desired, almost limitless scope in
the way Of artistic landscape gardening.
The instructions of the governing board
to the bidders contain some suggestions
of what the building is likely to be. In the
course OF these instructions they say:
while the architects are left free to de-
veiop their plans as they think best, 1t is
suggested that they bear in mind that the
building Is to be the home Of the inter-
national bureau Of the American republics,
ty-one republics of America under an or
ganization known as the International
Union of American Republics, for the pur-
pose not only Of promoting commerce and
trade among them. but Of developing closer
ties of peace, friendship and association.
The peoples Of the major portion Of these
republics are Of Spanish, Portuguese OF
other Latin extraction, and It therefore
may be desirable that the building should
have character and tone In harmony
Herewith
III the Spanish or Latin feature Of q
patio Is included, 1t should have sliding OF
rolling glass roof, in part, for protection
against Indictment weather Of cold, but
capable OF being opened in summer, while
the ground surface of the patio should
permit of the placing Of trees, flowers and
fountains"

NEW YORK, June 15.-The general ten
denotes of the stock market during this
mornings brief session were quite closely
in accord with those which have prevailed
throughout the week. The market opened
at generally lower range of prices than
prevailed at the close of business yester-
day and after declining somewhat further
enjoyed a sort of irregular upward re-
action. Trading was again in very light
volume and genuine activity was confined
to small number of stocks.
The mornings news included the recital
OF the seriously disturbed state of affairs
In Russia and the announcement of the
definite assumption by the Rock Island Of
the Chicago and Alton In the place of the
dual management of that property exer-
cised alternately by the Rock Island and
the Union Pacific companies. None of the
securities concerned was greatly influenced
by this intelligence, which was not general
ny accepted as possessing any remarkable
significance.
Chiefly because of the Russian situation
but also on account OF the disturbed finan-
Ciai conditions In Egypt and elsewhere
farls was again heavy seller of securi-
Ties In the London market which was ac-
cordingly depressed in all departments
Selling operations for foreign account in
TINS market were not much in excess Of
Little definite information was available
during the morning as to the status of the
political situation in Russia, but some for
eign banking houses stated that their ad-
vices were to the effect that the interest
maturing today upon portion of the Rus
sian loan was satisfactorily adjusted.
Trade Reports Conflicting.
There was little except of a routine char
acter in the mornings news of general i'm
portance, The weekly reports Of the mer-
camille agencies upon the state Of the
countrys trade were rather conflicting ex-
hihits some accounts setting forth improv-
er weather. while others dwelt upon the
slowness of collections and upon the DAM
age already wrought by the preceding low
temperatures.
1t is needless to say that the trading was
of a highly professional character and was
limited practically to the professional ele-
ment of the board room Consequently
such movements as took place in one stock
