Suffrage Bill Rejected.
The fate of the woman suffrage bill
was sealed last night by the votes of
more than fifty Irish nationalist, VINO
voted against it. The bill, whereby II
was sought to enfranchise 100000
women, was rejected by majority or
Al; the vote stood 266 to 219.
Whether there is any chance that
the present parliament will pass a bill
of more limited character may be
doubted. Possibly the nationalist
fear that if they allow a women S
FRANCHISE bill to pass the second read
ing it will lead to a parliamentary
struggle, which would not unlikely end
in dissolution of parliament before the
home rule bill becomes a law
Furthermore, the debate proved
that the militant policy of the SUI
fragists has done the cause great harm
as far as parliament is concerned The
Cancellation bill of last session was re-
iected by only small majority COM
pared with the Dickinson bill which
was under discussion Tuesday and pre-
yious bills, giving some measures OF
acknowledgment to women have pass
ed the second reading, although they
never survived subsequent stages.
Recent police court disclosures of
acts of incendiarism planned by the
InilitantS far SURPRISING in magnitude
anything heretofore attempted and the
burning of ST. GATHERINGS church at
Hatcham undoubtedly influenced
many members to vote against the
bill. The figures of the division show
ing the defeat of the bill were greet
ed with a cheer from all sides of the
house.
Women Were to Blame.
London, May THE defeat of the
woman suffrage bill in the house or
commons last night is generally at
tributed by the majority of the news
papers to the women themSelVeS-tne
militant ones, whose wild laW-break1ng
tactics alienated the sympath1es OF
suffrage supporters
The Times says that the EN- barrass-
ment that the militants have inflicted
on the cause lay like a dead weight
over the whole course of the debate on
the bill in the house of commons;
There is not the slightest doubt
that the militants have defeated their
own Objects the paper continues.
1.-THE change in the political barometer
cannot be mistaken For some years
past bills for giving votes to women
have passed their second reading with
respectable majorities- They may not
have been intended to get any further,
and we think there has been good
deal of hypocrisy on the part OF some
members who voted for their second
reading, but that success now has
been reversed. The majority is not
very large, but in the circumstances
it is decisive. 1t tells the militants
plainly as anything can, that they are
on the wrong road if they wish to get
votes for women

loaned them. Copp then brought suit for
the possession of the lines and also for
because he had refused to give them up.
Judge Carver found that Copp should re-
ceive the lines but denied any damages.
The costs in the case. however, which
were taxed against Rollins. amounted to
$3.50. The lines were worth only 40 cents.

The LAST TIME.
Tin Can Day Costs City Lots of Money

no more reason for free collection of
tin than free collection of garbage,
ashes, cinders and other refuse The
annual spring cleanup costs the city
approximately $500, innumerable worry
and complaints.
People fail to realize that the tin
can man, like time, never turns back.
After an alley has been swept immacu-
late and the tin collector has passed,
housewives hustle from attic to cell
lar, collect every vestige of tin, haul
it to the alley, and berate the defense

the man does not return to gather it.
The man went down your alley yes

''he can't cover his route a second

Whereat the complainant bangs down

So Mr.. Tandy is discouraged.
There's no ordinance providing for

their yards and alleys clean. The
spring cleanup was demanded several
years ago. and granted. There's no

New York stock Market.

Wall ST., New York, May 7.-STOCKS-
Bear operators met with determined OPP
position after they had succeeded in fore
ing down prices in the early trading.
Weakness of the Hartman stocks was
once more the distributing feature, but
when their continued decline threatened
to impair the position of the whole mar
ket effective support was given. There
was little appearance of vitality in the
market on the upturn however and trad
ing grew dull as prices rose. Gossip re-
garding the Hartman dissolution tangle
today had to do with unconfirmed re-
ports of the formation of a new syndicate
to take over Union Pacific holdings of
Southern Pacific.
Bonds steady.
Mixed changes at the opening today
gave the stock market an irregular APP
pearance. The tendency among the lead
ers was downward, with especial heavi-
ness in stocks which have been conspic-
uously weak recently. Southern Pacific
broke over a point to 931s, new low fig
ure. Union Pacific under yesterdays low
price and New Haven and PETERBOROUGH
Metropolitan preferred dropped a point.

morning in the boiler house and pat
tern rooms of the Great Western Man.
ufacturing company, one of the larg-
est stove plants in the country Tne
damage will he heavy.
The blaze was caused by an explo-
sion in the boiler room. The flames
spread rapidly and shot out from the
sides of the building, endangering the
foundry. A wagon standing several
feet away caught fire, but police and
citizens aided the fremen by dragging
it away from the buildings
The firemen confined their efforts
largely to preventing the spread of the
flames to the foundry and main offices.
Hundreds of patterns stored in the
pattern rooms were destroyed NO
definite estimate could be placed as to
the loss, although officials of the con-
Germ said that the damage would be
in the thousands.
The fire started at 1880 o'clock and
was under control at o'clock.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Governments Proposal to Deposit p-Moping Funds
in Banks Has Contributed to Visible Improve
ment in Financial Sentiment-General
Condition Good.

New York, Aug. 15-R G. Dun's
weekly review tomorrow will say:
Current distribution OF merchandise
continues in normal volume, while steady
preparations are being made for an ac-
tive fall and winter business. Conserva-
tism has. been accentuated somewhat
by the damage to corn through drought,
yet in a broad sense crop conditions are
still promising and, with remuneratiye
prices prevailing, another prosperous
year on the farms is assured. The phe-
nomenally heavy movement of agricui-
tural products to market contributes
literally to transportation revenues,
while the large exports of grain and
other commodities add materially to this
nations credit balance abroad. Domestic
monetary consido ltions have, become a
matter of less concern.
Financial sentiment has been visibly
improved by the approaching deposits of
government funds in the banks of the
West and South, and this has been ref
fected in pronounced buoyancy in Sc.
curities, values advancing rapidly on a
volume of transactions. Changes in
strictly mercantile and Industrial con-
ditions are of mixed character, with
favorable features, however, predomi-
Nating.
