questions of the far east, for possible
formation of an alliance between Japan
America and England along the lines
of the AnglOJapanese treaty, was

The sentiment for the conve:i,lon

week. 1t became known today that
several officials of the cabinet have
expressed themselves to high officers
Of the American fleet as earnestly de-
string such a conference.
One of the Japanese officials is

Women Discuss
Vital Issues

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. 22.-Deal-
ing with vital issues of general public
interest, the annual convention Of the
Wisconsin State Federation of Wom-
ems clubs, opened in Plymouth church
this morning, has awakened great
terest The women of the state pro
pose to use their influence to secure
the enactment of desirable laws, and
even the professional politicians are
now alive to the fact that the women
are no longer negligible quantities in
politics.
The approaching session of the
legislature is responsible in part for
the new direction taken by the feder-
alton. Women are awakening to a re-
alizatiOn of the influence they may ex-
ercise. even indirectly in questions
that deal with public veal. Several
matters of large Importance, in which
women are interested, are to come be-
fore the legislature at it's next session,
and it is the intention of the fedora
ton to stimulate among women
throughout the state a larger ana more
active interest than they had ever felt
before, in these important subjects, to
the end that hey may use their in
tiuence in creating public sentiment
among the masculine constituents of
the legislative members.
The federation's program, therefore,
arranged by Mrs. w T. Cushing,
president of the social economies club
and a woman who has given much
time, and thought to matters of civic
import, deals largely with public ques-
tions, some of which are to come be-
fore the legislature this winter
State and county institutions, chari-
table and correctional, are to be the
subjects of one session, when experts
on the subject will speak and mem

the Milwaukee county supervisors will

part in the discussion. With the pro-
posed new house of correction for
Milwaukea county now pending, the
subject of correctional institutions is
particularly apropos at this time. DR..
Harris Cooley of the correctional farm
at Cleveland, O., will tell of the work
done on the 1200-acre farm which
takes the place of house of correc-
ton, the prisoners, not clothed in the

Labor Federation

DENVER, Colo, Oct 22.-One of the
most important conventions of the year
wi" be held in Denver, beginning No

session. The session will doubtless be
of the greatest interest, since it will
follow the national election, and the
result of the Gompers declaration in
favor of Bryan will be apparent The
coming election is looked upon as q
crucial test of the political influence
of organized labor. If the results uf
the federation'S venture into politics
should not be satisfactory to the rank

be made to return to the old policy of
abstinence from participation in poll
