 SUFFRAGETTES DECLARE

DUBLIN, July 30 - "Constitution- al methods have been exhausted in Ireland. We have broken glass and will break few heads if neces- sary as a protest that women of this country are deliberately excluded from the rights of citizenship and the government must be prepared to pay the penalty"
 This bold answer was given from the dock of the Southern police court to the presiding magistrate by Mrs. Hannah Sheehy- Skeffington, speaking for herself and three other wellto-do Dublin women convicted of breaking windows of government offices as polite intimatiOn that the cause of suffrage in this capital is very much alive.
 The women tried and condemned were Mrs Margaret Sheehy -Skeffing ton, Miss Margaret Murphy. Miss Jane Murphy and Mrs. Margaret Palmer. all residents of fashionable Lesson Park avenue. They were fined $10 each-a heavy penalty in Dublin court-,with the option of month in prison, and ordered to find bail for good behavior in an other $50 or do another month as ordinary malefactors.
 They chose prison, but insisted upon being removed in a taxicab instead of the Black Maria" Keep the flag flying" they shouted to their supporters as they were driven away Most of the women leaders in Ire land denounce and deplore the tac- tics of the militants

OYSTER BAY, Aug. 25. - Theo- dore Roosevelt last night stated that he desired To be called i'm. mediately before the inyestigating committee to testify in regard to the alleged contributions made to his campaign fund in 1901. He sig, nified that he would he ready to -ife his testimony on Tuesday morning and that was the time ne vas anxious to appear.
 OYSTER BAY, Aug. 2i. - Theo, lore Roosevelt devoted an hour and a half of his time last night to die tating statement in reply to the charges made by Senator Penrosc and President Archbold of the standard Oil company that the Big Interests financed the campaign of Theodore Roosevelt in 199i. through which assistance he was elected president of the United States. In his statement Roosevelt says:
 T wish to reiterate my former statements that. until Senator Pen rose made his speech in the senate in which he stated that the Standard Oil company had contributed so gen erously to the expenses of my pres idential campaign, never had heard the statement that President Arch were contributors to my campaign fund. wish also to say distinctly and unequivocally that believe that Archbold is lying when he makes any such statement at this time Archbold's statement is a wicked assault upon the memory of Cornell jus s. Bliss. treasurer of the Repub- lican National committee of 1904, who is now numbered among the dead.
 "Of one feature of this mad at tack of the Republican machine I am extremely proud-that is that it makes perfectly clear the fact that I am the one man in the United States from whom the Penroses and Archbolds of the United States have most to fear and dread while I am in public life"
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. - It is probable that the senate investi- eating committee will summon Col. Roosevelt to appear before the com mittee to testify as to his knoWl- edge of the contributions of the Standard Oil company to the cam paign fund of 1904.

SPANISH QUEEN PAYS
 TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN

MADRID, Aug. l. - Mrs. Archer Milton Huntington of New York Hho before marriage was Helen Manchester Gates, is the first Amer ican woman to receive from Queen Victoria of Spain the insignia and ribbon of Maria Luisa This is considered the most noble feminine order in Spain and is only conferred on the wives of foreign envoys or on women of high birth who have done some noble deed. Many a woman who has been to Spain occu- pying a high diplomatic post will envy Mrs Huntington.
 The ribbon, or banda, as it is called in Spain. is white and mauve and is worn across the breast The medal is small but of beautiful de. sign.
 MT. and Mrs. Huntington came to Madrid this last time to thank their majesties for their gift of a won derful lamp for Roman Catholic church in New York Their majesties invited the Huntingtons to a quiet family luncheon, conversing with them in English After luncheon Queen Victoria presented Mrs. Hunt ington with the order of Maria Lu-  isa and showed her how it is worn. Then King Alfonso took his guests all over the royal armory and ex- plained to Mir Huntington the i'm provements he has made in the too small building. Mir. and Mrs Hunt instOn were delighted with the kind unaffected way in which their ma jesties entertained them, even per hitting them to have a peep at the royal children, an unusual honor, because Queen Victoria keeps her little ones quite separate from court life.

POWERS MUST POLICE
 TURKEY, SAYS KAISER

BERLIN, July 30.-"The Christian powers will have to step in and DO lice Turkey from frontier to front fer" the kaiser is reported to have said in recent talk with the Brit. ish and Russian ambassadors. "Thc situation in the Ottoman empire is disgrace to civilization" his ma jesty added We must put stop 10 it at once."
 This strong pronouncement on the part of Emperor William has sur prised good many people, not merely because it is, even for the kaiser. a most sensational utterance but for the reason that Germany has long been suspected of aiding and abetting for her own purposes the serious unrest in the Mohamme dan dominions. while affecting to support the Young Turk govern. ment.
 Semi-official denial is given to the reports that German assistance has been given to Turkish war measures.
 It is stated by high German of ficial authority that Germany has no desire to hamper Italy in the course of her contest with Turkey but on the contrary that Italy is de serving of, and is receiving constant support as far as neutrality eXigen .cies will permit.
 The kaiser's angry pronouncemeni is taken to mean he would approve of holy alliance to destroy power.
