TO FIGHT FOR
WHITE RAGE.
JEFF SAYS " HE CAN GET IN
CONDITION he WILL MEET
JOHNSON, BUT NO OTHER
MAN.

NEW YORK, March 11.-Jeffries
came nearer to making a direct
statement of an intention to fight
johnson today than ever before,
There is no further doubt he is
trying his best to get into condi.
ton. The question of success in
this direction is the only barrier
in the way of challenge. He said:
IF l ever fight again It will be
the negro. and then only to win
back the championship to the
white race. do not care what
offer is made. 1t will not tempt
me to reenter the ring for any
other purpose. l will not fight
Kaufman, or any other white man,
and would never think of fighting
again If Burns had whipped John
son.

silent sisters" but excerpts from the
writings OF men who favor granting
the ballot to women, are also being
sent out in great quantities.
A protracted struggle between the
sexes over the question of suffrage
now seems unavoidable. or course,
sex will not only be the dividing line,
or there would be no hope at all for
the advocates OF what used to be call
ed "woman's rights" a phrase not
much in use now. Many women Will,
without doubt, continue to oppose
suffrage thrust upon their sex, and
not a. few men will demand that
women be allowed to vote and urge
II with as much zeal as the most ar
dent of the suffragettes. But, on the
whole, the contest will be war be-
tween the sexes, and, therefore, a
clamity. No small number of men
regret TO see the coming of the strife,
and believe that the great harm will
be done to society by an imbittered
conflict in which there will be too
many exchanges of far from compli-
mentary statements. It does not seem
probable that the experience Of the
four western states that have granted
suffrage to women will have any APP
preciable influence on the opinions
OF men in the popular ana long-set-
tied states OF the Union. Women
were given votes in these western
states at a time when border chiv-
airy was at its height and men out
numbered women more than two to
one in many communities. Nothing
has been proved and very little hes
been dlsproved by the results Of al
lowing the women TO vote in Color
ado and other Rocky Mountain Stat
es. Such states as Massachusetts,
New York and Pennsylvania, where
an enormous female vote, filled with
revolutionary ideas of the relations
of the sexes, would present problems
never before encountered in the
worlds history. will pay little or no
attention to the notions of the fm
West.

DR.. Cooks case seems to be made
stronger as he comes in contact with
the world and the greater number of
scientists and public men accord him
recognition as the first man to
reach the North Pole. But there are
still some doubters and the matter
will not be made absolutely certain
until his evidence has been examined
by experts. However, it is believed
that no man can invent data and
answer questions which will satisfy
the scientific mind who has not real
ly been at the Pole. That would re
quire more genius than it would to
make a successful effort to reach the
top of the earth.

THE sUFFRAGIsT CRUSADE.

NJ luc luc
tional Woman's Suffrage association
of the United States, which Is located
In Washington, d. c. clerks are
busy sending out blank petitions by
thousands into every corner of the
country to receive the signature of
those who are willing to ask con-
gress to submit to the legislatures
Of the various states and amendment
10 the constitution enabling women
to vote. The crusade for woman suf-
frage is now In full swing and is
becoming national in its scope. Two
things appear to have greatly stimu-
lated the movement in the last two
or three years. The first Of these
has been the tactics of the English
suffragettes. bringing to the cause a
degree OF publicity It never before
enjoyed, and the second excitant has
been the success of the prohibition
movement throughout large section
OF the country Prohibition has sue
ceeded mainly through the efforts oil
women, led by the clergy. 1t Is doubt
full II anything like a majority OF
the men who voted for It where 1t has
been adopted would have done so
had it not been for the pleas and en-
treaties OF their mothers, wives.
daughters and sisters. Many women
now want to vote TO preserve, fortify,
expand and render more drastic all
prohibition liquor laws, and take a
new interest in the question OF suf-
frage. .,ss 1Ru
The ladies who are in charge OF
this work at Washington say that
enough blank petitions have been
circulated to give practically all
persons in the centers OF population
who believe in suffrage for women
an opportunity to inform congress OF
the fact at its next session. AS fast
as the petitions are signed they are
sent to the Washington headquarters.
When a million names are secured,
the thousands of smaller petitions
bearing the names will be combined
into one gigantic roll, big enough
probably to fill a good sized dray, or
IL one roll is too large, then into
four great rolls. which will be pre-
sented TO the house soon after con-
gress assemblies next November. In
teresting ceremonies will occur when |
the committees Of suffragist leaders
have the huge petition brought In
and formally presented to the house
