Miss Blackwell said that the national
association suffers from the actions Of
the Congressional Unions militant
tactics for the reason that politicians
do not distinguish between one asso-
citation and another, but visit their re-
sentiment on the suffrage movement
generally.
Miss Laura Clay, granddaughter of
Henry Clay. and a Kentucky delegate
to the conference, announced that she
has drafted a measure which permits
women to vote for senators and repre-
troduced at the next session of Con-
gress.
Oppose Attacks on Democracy.
The conference yesterday went on
record as opposed to the attitude OF
the Congressional Union in its attacks
on the democratic party. when a reso-
luton was adopted unanimously to the
effect that the association was unal-
terabIy opposed to these attacks. The
resolution declared that the Congress
sional Union had failed of benefit in
suffrage states and worked harm in
states where women still were seeking
the ballot
Originally the union was part of
the association, but the association no
longer recognizes 1t except as an or
ganization whose so-called militant
methods are regarded by the associa-
tion as inimica1 to the best interests
of the equal suffrage cause.

ROME, June :. via Paris, June 8:
Our advanced troops proceeded me
thodically to take possession OF the
most important positions beyond the
frontier, all along the line meetihs
with slight resistance. At the same
time a closely contested artillery duei
continued on the plateaus OF Lava
rome and Folgaria.
The same is the case all along the
Isonzo river. from Caporetto to the
sea, where we are in close CONTACT
with the enemy. Strong advance
formation protected by poWerful ar
tillery actually have reached TINS I'M
portant line with the object OF estab-
fishing themselves solidly at the most
suitable passages and of installing
there bridge heads commanding tne
banks. thereby insuring safe crossins:
Beyond the Caporetto mountains. along
the heights and in the valleys, our
troops are continuing the heavy fight
ing Of June 4-5-6 against the Aus
trian positions which are situated on
the opposite slope. We have gained
firm footholds on both banks of the
river and are seriously threatening
Tolmino.
Along the lower course of the 1sonzo,
after spanning the river with mill
tary bridges under the eyes of the
enemy large detachments Of our
troops preceded by a reconnoitering
force of cavalry succeeded in crossing
to the eastern bank. where they now
are fortifying themselves. By this
maneuver we are assured along the
Isonzo front the same liberty of ac-
tion as on our other fronts. This Is
important because heavy detachments
of troops may thus be employed cas-
lily when the time Is ripe. Our losses
have been relatively Light.
Our troops celebrated yesterday the
national holiday offering to their
sovereign-who is ever present with
them-proofs of their high esteem
by their courage, their spirit of self
sacrifice and highest patriotic senti-
ment.
A statement OF the chief Of the Italian
naval general staff made public to-
night says:
On the 7th in the morning our de-
stroyer fotilla bombarded Monfal-
cone for a third time. Three batteries
in position near the Duino Castle
opened a well sustained fire against
our destroyers. which. turning their
guns upon the batteries. reduced one
OF them to silence and set the castle
on fire. Our destroyers returned un-
damaged.
The preceding night our dirigible ex-
ecuted another raid on Pola, dropping
several bombs, which all exploded at
points of a military nature.

constantly in view the question asked
by Congress which the joint select
committee Of Congress is to answer.
namely. what is the proper proportion.
respectively. of the United States and
the District Of Columbia of the ex

pointed out that the question was con-
fined to the expenses of the municipal
corporation and did not affect the ex-
penditures of the national government
on national buildings. memorials, parks
or other national objects upon which
it might spend indefinite amounts OF
money.
The executive committee was assem-
