Paris. March 22.-Aithough the Chamber of beputies by e vote of a45 to 1S7 today again sustained the gov ernments position with reference to the strike of the postal employees, and several of the members of the strike committee consider the governments terms amply satisfactory. the hot heads at a big meeting held this evening suc- ceeded in passing final action until to- morrow.
 Not content with winning all the sub stantial points for which they contend ed, including the elimination of Under Secretary Simyan, whose retirement. 1t Is understood, Is only a question of hours. the militant strike leaders want to force the government to a public confession of defeat by the dism lssal of M. Simyan. who Is obnoxious to the State employees.
 One of the speakers at the meeting threatened that the movement would be turned into revolutionary strike" unless satisfaction was given on this point
 The political opponents of the gov ernment are making the most of its predicament. Ii. Gauthier, the nation aiist deputy. In the chamber this after noon, taunted the radicals with having raised up a power before which the government and a supine majority are now covering.
 The Journal Des De Bats considers the outcome a triumph for revolution ary unionism and declares that the government has capitulated because 1t realizes its impotency to accept battle.
 The strike leaders had several con- ferences during the day with the min isters.

It was promised some weeks ago that the readers of the society department of the Advertiser should be kept in touch with what the. women of the world who are interested in woman's suffrage are doing. The following very clear statement of the aims and achievements of this class of thinkers is taken from The New York American of Sunday:
 Just What the Sunragettes Demand. No taxation of women without rep resentation by the ballot.
 Equal suffrage for al women. on equal terms with men everywhere. An opportunity to make new laws to benefit women and children in the schools. shops and factories.
 The right to say how their property shall be appraised and faxed. and how the money shall be spent for municipal affairs and Improvements. +
 Women demand equal pay for equal work, but the only way they can se- cure this is to back up their demand by Legislation and enforcement of new laws relating to employers and em- ployes.
 Privilege to compete for all Civil Service and other Governmental posi- tions which they are competent to i'll. under--sxhich they work precisely the same as men vote for their business in terests.
 The abolishing of any laws which discriminate against women in all oc- equations and professions.
 Women demand the power to enact laws that will limit the hours of house. work, as well as factory work, and thus give the girl in domestic service cultivation. which her rightful status as a citizen entities her to.
 women's courts entirely separate from mems. with women attendants. women lawyers and 1uries composed partly or wholly of women.
 Women demand the right to elect legislators as their most sorely needed charter of liberty and weapon of de- fense.

 WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
 There is a prevalent idea that society at the National Capital is very much on the order of that of New York, in Which wealth has the dominant voice and sets the pace for its followers. The san Francisco Argonaut protests against this conception, and says: "One who goes at all in the soclai life at Washington cannot but note one marked and wholesome difference between the general atmosphere ana that of most other American cities. So- ciety, broadly speaking, Is often a com petition of vanities or marriage market, or both. Washington society ls neither one nor the other. Social motives are far more serious, far more dignified, more important. whereas in ordinary society the stars are the rich and fashionable. the debutante and the gilded youth, in Washington they are quite another type.
