Bill Before New York Legislature
Aimed at Suffraqists.

New York. March Mrs. Harriet
Stanton Blatch, who arrived here from
Albany tonight. says that If the Dana bill,
which has passed the Assembly. becomes
a law It will provoke American suffra gists
90 open miltaney, in imitation of their
British sisters.
HERETOFORE" says Mrs. Blatch, there
has been no reason for suffragettes in
America to use militant methods, but a
bill like this will be like a torch to a
hay stack
The Dana bill provides that when the
legisla ture submits an amendment to the
constitution there shall Re a two-thirds
vote, instead of a majority, as at present.
This, It is thought would lessen the
chances of woman suffrage amendment.

There was little wonder then that.

miles away. These hills mark the
beginning of the great desert-beyond
them there is nothing but rolling

prosperity Of Damascus are due to the
presence of two rivers, which have
converted this spot of the dreary
desolate and uninhabited desert into a
smiling and we'll watered plain. The
Pharpar approaches only within seven
miles Of Damascus. but by means OF
canals and aqueducts sends its life

city. The Abana is the stream from
which the city's main supply of water
is obtained Minerva like, it springs
