gates Attending.
Stuttgart, Aug. 17.-The socialistic
notables of the world are gathering
here in large number to attend the
International Socialist congress, which
is to hold its sessions during the next
eight days. A remarkable feature of
the gathering is the large number of
women delegates. So numerous are
the women, in fact. that they have
concluded to hold separate confer
ence. This will be the first interna-
tional socialist congress ever held by
women.
Among the questions to be dis
cussed by the general conference are
the emigration of workmen, militar-
ism and war. The subjects to
which the women will give especial
attention include the establishment
of regular communications between
the organized women comrades Of
the Various countries and the ques-
tlon of woman suffrage. The latter
will be moved strongly by the dele
gates from the United States.
Among the delegates who have ar
rived in the city are representatives
Of the socialistic organizations OF
England, the United States, France,
Germany, Relgium, Sweden, Dem
mark and Finland,
