FOUR NEW STATES. The Bill to Admit Them Passes Both Houses, NORTH DAKOTA, SOCTH DAKOTA, MONTANA, AXD WASHINGTON TERRITORIES TO COME INTO THE UNION—ADOPTION OF THE CONFERENCE RE- PORT. Both houses of Congress yesterday agree d to the conference report on the bill for the admis- sion into the Union as states of the territories of North and South Dakota, Montana, and Washing- ton. Under the bill the territory of Dakota is to be divided on the line of the seventh parallel proceeding due west. The delegates elected to the constitutional convention north of this parallel shall assemble at Bismarck, and those elected south of the parallel at Sioux Falls. ‘The delegates to the convention in each of the Proposed new states shall be selected on the Tuesday after the first Monday in May next, and shall meet on the 4th of July and declare that they adopt the Constitution of the United States. Provision is also made for the adop- tion or rejection of the Sioux Falls constitution | by the people of South Dakota. Each of the ew states is to be entitled to one Representa~ tive in Congre: F uth Dakota, which is to have two Represen' 3 IN THE SENAT! considerable debate arose on the right of women to vote in the proposed state of Wash- ington. Mr. Hoar called attention to the fact that the bill makes no provision for extending the right of suffrage to the women of Wasn- ington territory, which is one of the four states to be admitted. He said that previons to the reeent decision of a democratic court in Wash- ington territory against woman suffr women of that territory had succe demonstrated their ability to exercise pol: functions, He had, . tried hard to have some provision in the bill which would entitle women to vote when they had previously had that right; but as there was opposition to it, rather than endanger the passage of the meas- ure he pushed his efforts no further. Mr. Piatt said that a uniform rule had been adopted determining who should vote for dele- gates to the constitutional conventions, and to have made a special provision for Washington would have necessitated a totally different ar- rangement, which would have met with dis- astrous opposition in conference. The Senate conferees were willing that woman suffrage i, but the House conferees Senate side did not care to persist in their wishes, as the passage of the measure would have been endangered. Mr. Blair earnestly expressed his dissatisfac- tion at the non-recognition of the right of women to vote, and said it would result in the most bitter disappointment to the people of those territories where women have been exer- cising the right to vote almost as long as have the men. He thought that women should be allowed to vote, and said it was wrong to make any discrimination against them. Mr. Vest inquired why it was that New Mex- ico was left ont of the bill when it had a popu- lation of D00. Mr. Callom said it was because the popula- tion was of such a peculiar natare. Two-thirds of the people there, he said, could not speak the English language. Mr. Butler claimed that New Mexico had all the required elements necessary far statehood. Mr. Vest then upbraided the republicans for leaving New Mexico ont. saying it was done for political purposes. leclared that he would not vote for the bill. ‘The conference report was finally adopted without division, ; Cockrell and Brown being who openly de- elared their op} In the How = adopted virtu- Mr. . one of the 3 ply declaring that out of a proper sense of duty he could not sign the t.

THE DEBATE IX THE SENATE YESTERDAY AFTER- th of July night is reached the | In the Senate yesterday, after Tae Star's re- port closed, the deb on the action of the Senate committee in amending the House clause in the bill restraining the use of steam plate printing presses in the bureau of en- graving and printing was continued. The Sen- ate amendment provides « payment of a roy- y tothe machine owners of fifty cents per thousand impressions, as agamst one cent per thousand impressions provided by the House, which would virtually prevent the use of steam presses. Mr. Hiscock said the work of the steam-presses Was entirely satisfactory and they were 50 per, cent cheaper than hand-press work. f the bill passed with the provision as it came from the House he wo state that there were not enongh plate-printers in the country to do the work by hand. He admitted that the steam presses could not as fine work as was necessary on the faces of Ix. The general average of steam press- work was, however, higher than that of the hand presses, nators Hawley and Blair argued the other side of the question, and Senator McPherson | quoted from the testimony of ex-Chief Brooks, of the secret service, who was, he said, a man of most extraordinary ability, to the effect that it was extremely difficult to detect the diffe ence between the genuine steam-printed notes and mterfeits. Mr. Harris, in pursuence of his threat made the previous evening, calied for an executive session, but Mr. Allisou moved an adjournment, on which Mr. Harris called for the yeas and nays. which decided in favor of Mr. Allison's | motion, The then adjourned.

On Prof. Tyndall's second ascent of Mont Blanc he was caught in a snow-storm at the summit.

My lamp coul not be secured from it, and half a box of matches was consumed in the effort to ignite it. At length it did flame up, and carried on a spluttering combustion, a “Meanwhile the absence of muscular action eaused the cold to affect our men severely. I myself was too intent upon my work to feel it much, but I was numbed; one of my fingers had lost sensation and my right heel was in pain; still I had no thought of relinquishing my observation until Mr. Wills came to say that we must return speedily, for Balmat’s hands were frozen. I did not comprehend the full signifi- cance of the word, ny the porters presented such an aspect of suffering that I feared to de- tain them any longer. I struck my tent, de- posited the thermometer, and as I watched the covering of it up some of the party commenced the descent, I followed them speedily. Mid- way down the first slope I saw Balmat, who was about 100 yards in advance of me, suddenly rust his hands into the snow and commence rubbing them vigorousls “The suddenness of the act surprised me, but Thad no idea at the time of its real significance. Isoon came up to him; he seemed frightened, and continued to beat and rub his hands, plung- ing them at quick intervals into the snow. Still thought the thing would speedily pass away, for I had too much faith in the man’s ex- perience to suj that he would permit him- self to be seriously injured. But it did not pass as I hoped it would, and the possibility of is losing his hands presented itself to me. | last he became exhausted by his efforts, stag- | gered like a drunken man, and fell upon the snow. Mr. Willis and I took each a hand, and continued the process of beating and rubbing. I feared that we should injure him by our blows, but he continued to exclaim: “-Don't be afraid! Strike all the time; strike hard!’ “We did so till Mr. Wills became exhausted, and a porter had to take his place. Meanwhile Balmat pinched and bit his fingers at intervals to test their condition. But for along time there was no sensation. He was evidently hope- less, At last returning sensation in one hand announced itself by excruciating pain. “I suffer!” he exclaimed at intervals—words which, from aman of iron endurance, had more than ordinary significance. But pain was bet- ter than death, and, under the circumstances, a sign of improvement.

Many women lose the love of their husbands because they are too ignorant or too indifferent tokeep it. Ask any of your friends how they captured their other half, and they will tell you frankly, “I don’t know.” A man’s heart is en- snared by a pretty hand, nice te a round, low voice, frank eyes, beautiful hair; by the way a girl walks. talks, plays, rides: by her gifts, her smiles, her amiability, good taste, generosity, or the very manner in wh greets, fascinates, or abuses him. She m: know how she won him, but if she doesn't know how to keep him the best thing for her todo is to find out. ‘There are many things we know by intuition; the rest have to be ned by ex) lence. Conscious of her abilities and inabilities 2s a wife. a wise woman will learn how to keep a husband just as she learns how to keep house, to make chicken croquettes, chocolate cream, bread, beds, or lemonade, and if she doesn’t, why, some siren will for all time relieve her of the trouble. Men like to preach down extravagance, and style, and ut the woman who’ bangs her hair, hides a blotch or scar under a piece of court- plaster, who uses pretty gloves and stockings, trim slippers, perfumes, balms, cold creams, finger curls, and fancy notions to in- crease her charms is the woman who is admired by them all. Common sense and ugliness may be morally whole- some, but they're not alluring, and art is apt to triumph over nature unadorned, If a man is fond of flattery, let him have it. If he has ambitions or schemes, listen to him with open eyes of wonder, and. no matter what the occa- sion is, never permit your knowledge to exceed his. Men despise smart women, but have no fault to find when her talent is large enough to appreciate his greatness. Men like to be looked up at, depended on, quoted and re- ferred to. Au ugly temper isa trial that few women are able to endure. The only cure is silence, You can’t kiss a furious man; it only makes him worse. The thing to do is to keep still, let him cool, and let the matter drop, He will respect your sense and come to terms of his own accord. To be born a woman is to be born martyr, but the husband that is worth wedding is worth keeping; and if a little artifice, u pleasant smile, a contented heart, forbearance. devotion, and tact will hold him, by all means let him be held. Men must be taken as they are, not as they should be; they | improve under the refining influence of mutual interest and love, and he is a very wretched specimen of humanity who cannot be counted on to shield his wife from the buffets of the world and be an anchor for her when youth and beauty have proved unfaithful. cor Is Marriage a Failure?

When the witness visited Paris he had no specimens of either Mr. Parnell’s or Mr. Egan's writing. He accepted the letters solely on Pigott’s word. “If,” said the witness, “Pigott had been needy or fraudulent enongh to attempt to commit perjury, my action would have assisted him, but do not admit that he was either. Pigott’s interviews with Mr. Labouchere shook my faith in him, and, there- fore, my mind was not easy until he had signed the sworn declaration.” Richard Pigott, a well-dressed and benevo- lent looking man, apparently about sixty years of age, was then called. He testified that he was proprietor of the Fenian organ, The Irishman, in 1865. He belonged to the Supreme Council, F. B. All the members of the Amnesty associa- tion in 1870 were Fenians, Parnell belonged, and about 1871 Bigger, Barry, Harris, Neary, Mullett and Murphy belonged to the supreme council of the I. R. B. Witness belonged to the I. R. B until Angust 1881. He was not an active member. He detailed the negotiations in 1879 by which the Irishman and the Flag of Ireland were sold to a company in which Par- nell and Egan were shareholders. He did not donbt that the league provided the money. Later, Egan said he proj d to render the lives of the English officials in England not worth an hour's purchase, and, replying to a question, said that of course Parnell was aware of this proposal. Ina conversation at Folkestone about the Parnell commission, yesterday, Mr. Gladstone said: “We are now on the eve of exploding a vast fabrication of iniquity.” Mr. Joseph R. Cox, a nationalist member of parliament. made a similar remark at Maid- stone last night. In the course of a speech he said that startling disclosures were about to be made before the Parnell commission which would completely upset the Times case. Sins sorte atin Why the Reporter Talked. From the Birmingham Age. M. B. Morton, one of the Age-Heraid staff of reporters, and withal a young gentleman brim full of energy and wide awake to the duties of his calling, was the only reporter on the ground when the citizens of Pratt mines y's- ited their wrath upon Geo. Meadows, the 1 derer of Willie Kellum. In this connection a gentleman from Pratt mines relates a good story at the expense of Mr. Morton. Itappears that the enterprising reporter joined the party when Meadows was first brought in from the woods, where he had been secreted during the night by his guards, When he found, from the temper of the crowd, thata neck-tie party was imminent he remonstrated swith the leaders and made ry effort to have the lynching postponed until evening, in order, as he claimed, that Mrs. Kellum might be given opportunity of seeing him and giving a final decision as to his identity. So persistently did he prosecute his endeavors that his actions finally aroused the opposition of the crowd,and in a few moments threats against the reporter were almost as frequent as those directed against the prisoner. While Meadows was standing at the foot of the tree and the rope ‘was being passed over the limb the reporter, no longer able to contain himself, made a last and most eloquent appeal to the vast crowd, beseeching them, again and again, to at least deter the hanging until noon. Deaf to his every entreaty, the determined men about him ‘finaily appeared to lose all patience with the “red-headed son-of-a-gu as one of their number “sized” him up. A yell to “hang bim along with the nigger!” was next raised. The dangling end of the rope for an instant was flourished about the devoted head- piece of the orator, Invited to “shut up. - able and subsided into a quiet witness to what immediately followed. We all felt mighty bad for a while about the way Morton went back on us and took up for the nigger,” remarked the gentleman in con- cluding his narrative. “But we took back all | the mean things we said agin’ him when we learned that the durned cuss was only talkin; agin’ time, and trying to keep the hanging o till after the evening papers were out. Ican see his red head a-bobbing yet and his jaw a- working, all to make it appear that he was 60 awful for law and order. You can tell him, though, that Pratt Mines forgives him and will be glad to see him often.” ——9@e An Honest Witness. From the Somerville Journal, Charles Theodore Russell was examining a witness in a Cambridge court one day this week, The question was about the size of cer- tain hoof-prints left by a horse in sandy soil. “How large were the prints?” asked the learned counsel. “Were they as large as my hand?” holding up his hand for the witness to see. “Oh, no,” said the witness honestly. “It was just an ordinary hoof.” Then Mr. Russell had to suspend the exam- ination while everybody ianghed.
