Has Been Planned.

London. September 6.-Mrs. oliver II
T.. Belmont, the Duchess of Alarl-
borough's mother. is now one OF the
leaders OF the English sufrragettes. and
one OF the militants Mt that. But she
leads in their councils, not in the field,
in open conflict.
Every one wondered why Mrs Pank-
hurst should select so mundane n spot
as gay Dcauville for rest cure, but
the secret is now out. Mrs Belmont
has n villa there
In that villa many councils of four
have been hold, composed of Mrs Bel
mont. Mrs. Pankhurst Miss Christie
bel Panlthurst and Miss Annie Kenney,
their faithful lieutenant.
Mrs. i:eimort. who has loudly ex-
pressed her ScoIn OF the barbarous
English methods of dealing with tho
suffragettes. has declared 1t was the
proudest moment Of her life when Mrs
Pankhurst accepted her invitation.
She immediately offered to help the
cause In any way possible. She made
some valuable suggestions and, in con-
sequence, has been admitted to the in
ncrmost secrets OF tho English leaders.
Exactly what the mysterious new
su1rragette campaign will be nobody
outside the four leaders can say. But
from an incautious word dropped by
ing with Anthony Drexel the other
day. II is surmised that very de-
SeInineG effort will be made to bring,
the cause even more prominently to
the attention OF royalty.
This means that the life OF the royal
family is going to be made scarcely
worth living

Especial to The Timcs-Dspatch.
Washington. September e.--Repre-
sentative Lever, of South Carolina. to-
day introduced a modified form OF his
agricultural extension bill, which. it
unanimously during the last session
of the sixty second Congress and failed
in conference.
The modified bill provides for CO.
operative agricultural extension work
between agricultural colleges and the
Federal Department of Agriculture
along the same lines set forth in the
original bill. This modification has
been made after numerous conferences
between Secretary Houston, the cxccu-
tive committees of the agricultural col
leges. the experiment stations, Mr..
Lever, and Senator Hoke Smith. The
original Lever bill has been followed
as closely as practicable. and the only
fundamental change is that which
brings the extension work of the Fed
cral government and State governments
into closer relationship.
To Avoid Stnte of Chnos.
The Department Of Agriculture is
now spending eight or nine hundred
thousand dollars annually in extension
acter of work is becoming each day
SO urgent that IL is the opinion Of
those who have collaboratcd in fran
ing the new Lever bill that a condi-
ton of chaos may eventually develop
unless the relationship between the
Federal Department of Agriculture and
the State colleges is specifically de-
signed by law. as is done in the new
bill.
Under the modified form OF the lever
BILL the actual work is TO be done by
the agricultural colleges. although
there is reserved TO the Federal De-
partment Of Agriculture the right 70
the work This makes it certain that
the fund will be used in accordance
with the intention OF Congress. The
colleges will name the State and local
agents and conduct the work along
the lines mutually agreed upon by
them and the Department of Agricul-
ture. This plan has been thought nee
lines of work In the different States.
and At the same time 10 bring about
more efficiency and economy in the
administration Of the funds.

The bin provides a direct and uncon-
ditional appropriation of $4,000 to

home economic work. and an addi-
