CANVASS CANDIDATES.
Sufragettes Submit List Of Seven
Questions.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The National
American Woman Suffrage Association
has taken steps to find out exactly how
each candidate for the Senate and the
House of Representatives stands on the
question of suffrage for women. Each
nominee is about to receive from the
congressional committee of the associ-
alton the following seven questions:
Are you in favor of full suffrage for
women?
Are you in favor of municipal suf-
frage for women.
Are you in favor of school suffrage
for women.
Are you in favor of suffrage in any
form for taxpaying women?
Are you opposed to any form Of suf-
frage for women?
If in favor of full suffrage for women,
do You approve of an amendment to
the United States Constitution in effect
as follows The rights Of citizens of
the United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United States
or by any State thereof on account of
sex?"
If you do not favor an amendment
to the National Constitution, would you
support woman suffrage amendment
to your State Constitution or to city
charters in your State?
Miss Emma Gillette, chairman of the
committee and the originator of the
idea, has had interviews with members
of the Senate and House who are of
her opinion that the answer from the
nominees will settle definitely whether
or not they believe women should be
allowed to vote. By the aid of each
State president OF the association, names
OF all nominees for Congress are being
gathered and sent to the central office OF
the committee at 1416 F street, North
west where Miss Gillette is supervising
the work
Though the work was inaugurated
but week ago, several hundred letters
and circulars were sent to those whose
thousand others will be mailed to the
newspapers in each State, as
well as to the remaining Congressional
thereby covering the country.
As the answers from the nominees
come in they will be placed on record.
The names of those who fail to answer
will also be filed
Through this far-reaching campaign

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-The full

President Diaz to bring about the pun

the supposed Mexican Antonio Rod
riguez, at Rock Springs, Texas, and to
protect Mexicans in this country. ap-

Governor Campbell of Texas already
has promised to make an investigation
of the lynching and a telegram re-

night from Governor Haskell, in an
swer to an urgent request from Secre-
tary Knox to guard the safety of Mex

ANXIOUS FOR COURT FINDING

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Declaring
the public agitation regarding the dis

VICTOR NAPOLEON
WEDSCLEMENT|NE
Pretender to French Throne and
Belgian Princess Marry
in Italy

TURIN, Italy, Nov. 14.-The mar
riage of Prince Victor Napoleon Bona
parte, cousin of King Victor Emman-
uel, and pretender to the throne of
France and Princess Clementine,
daughter of the late King Leopold of
Belgium, which has been looked for
ward to with much interest, was cele-
brated today at Moncalieri, a village
picturesquely situated a few miles from
here.
The ceremony took place in the roy
al castle erected in the fifteenth CEN
tury, to which Princess Clotilde, sister
of King Humbert and mother Of Prince
Victor Napoleon, retired after the ov-
erthrow of the French empire.
Public rejoicing marked the occasion.
The streets were profusely decorated
bands played in the squares, and flags
waved from the castle, from the mu-
nicipal buildings, and from many pri-
Vate houses.
The members of the Savoy and Bon
aparte families were present.
The witnesses for Princess Clemen-
tine were Prince de Ligne d'Aremberg,
representing the King of Belgium, and
Archduke Fritz of Austria.
Princess Clementine received a letter
from the pope imparting the apostolic
benediction to her and her husband.
The latter received messages of loyalty
from the Bonapartist committees in
France and Corsica.
The papers recite how the late King
Leopold steadfastly refused to permit
the marriage of his favorite daughter
to the pretender to the throne of a
friendly power Since the accession of
King Albert it was known that the
royal objections had been removed.
This was due largely to the tactful
attitude of the prince himself who al
ways refrained from attending official
fetes and ceremonies at Brussels and
from in anyway embarrassing the re-
lations between Belgium and France.
The situation of Princess Clemen-
tine in Belgium, where the two will
live in sumptuous style, will hence
forth be modified in conformity with
the attitude of her husband. She will
retain the rank of princess, but re-
nounces official and state honors and
gives up her residence at the royal
palace as we'll as the income of $4,000
a year, which, under the Congo an
nexation law, ceases at her marriage.
Among the gifts for the bride one
of the most beautiful was that Of the
Danes de France, dressing table
emblazoned with the Bonapartist eagle
an dthe Flemish lion.

er Wesley Turner, of Breathitt county,
