While clearing up minor amendments to
the administration railroad bill, which
had been put off until the last republican
and democratic leaders in the Senate to-
day busted themselves with canvasses to
ascertain what the final vote was likely
to be. At 1:15 pm. it was regarded as
certain that the vote would be taken be-
fore adjournment, that all of the repub-
licans would be recorded for the BILL ex-
cept possibly one, and that all but six
or seven of the democrats would be re-
corded against it.
The republican whose vote is in doubt
is Senator Bourne. He has not stated
how he stands, but the general impress
sion is that he is opposed to the bill. One
of the democratic leaders sad that II
there were danger Of the defeat Of the
bill through democratic votes not one OF
the minority would vote against the bill,
notwithstanding the fact that it is called
an administration measure. He said that
as amended the bill contained far more
good than bad. Its final passage is as

There is no shadow of q doubt. and has

BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, June 2.-Dr.
Julian Iras. the representative on the
Atlantic coast of President Madriz. has
isS,:ed a decree that vessels cleared for
Bluetields on or after June l may not
enter this port without the permission of
the MadriZ government.
The decree sets forth that all shipping
which cleared for Blueflelds before the
date mentioned will be permitted to enter
the harbor after the payment of custom
duties at the custom house on Bluefelds
bluff, which was recently captured and
still held by the government troops.
The official decree was issued from
aboard the Nicaraguan war vessel Venus,
and If its provisions are observed it will
mean that the coast traffic will be alb
solutely in the control of President Ma
driZ and the consequent weakening Of
the position of the insurgents at Blue

ducah will not permit the Venus to bonn
bard the city of Bluefields or to shell the

Need Not Be Blue Stocking.

1T is not essential that woman who
knows much must conform to the un-
attractive manner and ways Of the con-
ventional .lue stocking; that she should
make the extent of her knowledge a
source of discomfort to those with whom
she associates or that sne should lose
her interest in the sentiment and motions
OF life or fail to have an appreciation OF
beauty and romance.
II am quite ready TO concede that mar
rage and motherhood are normal
status for women, and other things be-
ing equal she is happier in that condi-
ton than in any other. But this Is far
from saving that womans life Is
failure because she has not married, ard
that her life may not be failure be
cause she has married. The home ard
the family are the nucleus of the highest
happiness, but If circumstances are such
as to force women to accept husbands
whom they do not respect and love. and
whom they would not marry except TO
ESCAPE a life Of poverty, the home and
the family are not likely to be a model or
to furnish an ideal.
"One OF the great advantages OF the
higher education for a woman In my
Judgment is in the independence that IT
gives her In the choice of the kind OF
life which she is to lead.
More Woman Teachers.
I'm the profession OF teacnlng th0
women already have the advantage over
men in point OF numbers. 1t is true that
they do not receive the same compensa-
tion as men. I do not know how this
cal. be remedied. l presume that the
salaries received are affected by the
same law as that which controls prices
in other marketS-to wit, the law OF sup
ply and demand-and as there are more
female teachers than male teachers. and
as the common opinion Is In many in
stitutions that there ought to be some
man teachers, the men receive higher
salaries.
I'VE cannot be blind to the general
movement in favor of opening more and
more occupations not dependent on phys
icaI strength to the female sex.
II do not think we can estimate the
enormous advantage that the present
generation has enjoyed and that the
future generations are to profit by in
the increasingly sound and thorough
education Of the mothers of families.
II do not think we can estimate 'tha
increased happiness that men and wora-
en- have experienced who. as n seands
and wives. have enjoyed the higher
sense of companionship that is made
possible by the intellectual sympathy
and association of ideas between two
thoroughly educated people.
1.-The higher education of woman
should be sought wholly without regard
either to a professional OF matrimonial.

This statement was made to a Star re-
porter this morning by one of the leaders
of the House who does not wish his name
used at this time, as he is now perfecting
the modification of the Gillett compulsory
savings plan which is to accomplish these
long-desired results. At the proper time
he will appear in earnest advocacy Of the
proposition, and, as it can be demonstrat-
ed to any member of the House that
there is no civil pension scheme involved,
lie believes that the House and the Senate
will act speedily and favorably.
