A great many inquiries are being made of the State department as to when the Interna- tional American conference will start on its pilgrimage through the southern states. To these no positive replies can be made, because it is not yet known when the conference will adjourn, It has been decided, however, by Secretary Blaine that the invitations for this tour, which will last about three weeks, will be issued a8 soon as it becomes evident that an adjourn- ment can be reached by a certain date. Until this is known no program can be arranged. None of the delegates want to go now, for they have a great deal of busi on hand. Many of the committee re- ports are being considered by the conference and others are in the hands of the translators. As soon as the translations are complete the conference will hold daily sessions, and by strict attention to business the members believe | they will be ready for adjournment about the first week in April. Then will come the south- ern trip, which no one wants to take just now, becuuse it would interrupt the work. THE CENSUS OF ALASKA. Mr. Ivan Petroff Has Charge of the Col- lection of Statistics There. From the working standpoint adopted by the census office the neglected territory of Alaska will be given a position second only to that of | the United States. There are only two grand divisions of territory in the census work; one is Alaska and the other the United States. The collection of the statistics in Alaska will be en- tirely distinct and separate from the census work of the rest of the country. Alaska will be divided into census districts, each of which will be in charge of a special agent. Mr. Ivan Pet- roff will have the general superintendence of the work,and he intends soon to leave for Alaska, where he will set in operation the census | machinery which has been devised after con- sultation with Superintendent Porter. Mr. Petroff has the advantage of being a native Rassian as well asalong resident of Alaska. He had charge of the census work in Alaska for the last census and 60 will have the benefit of pastexperience. He was unable single handed ten years ago to get an accurate enumeration of the population, but since that time ALASKA HL GROWN IN IMPORTANCE and that fact is recognized in the preparations thatare being made to collect information about the inhabitants, the industries and _pro- ductions of the country. Mr. Petroff will have seven assistants to enumerate the population. | Then he willso arrange as to find out the number of churches and schools, the commerce, manufacture, ship building, lumber trade, the salmon industry and other industries. There has been a large increase in the population caused by the estab- lishment of these industries. ‘The white popu- lation has grown and now there are quite a number of Chinamen living in the territory. Mr. Petroff expects to be able to collect a mass of information which will throw a good deal of light upon the condition of life and upon the population of Alaska, RegpEstate Matters. George W.

Precautions at the White House for Safety of Its Occupants and Contents. COL, ERNST PROPOSES TO ADD ONE MORE TO THEM; THAT 18, TO HAVE FIRE ALARM BOXES IN THE MANSION—NOW THE NEAREST ALARM BOX 18 IN THE TREASURY BUILDING, It is not a pleasant thing to think about, but it is none the less true that the White House would be an extremely uncomfortable abiding place in case of a fire. It is old, the wood work is dry, the rafters are not particularly strong, the staircases are ng and there is a first-class opportunity for a fire to get a sweep and strength before touched by water. The recent terrible calamity at the house of the Secretary of the Navy has set all minds at work upon the fire problem, among them being that of Col, O. H. Ernst, who, as commissioner of public buildings and grounds, is the custodian of the executive mansion, and he has realized that even withall the precautions against fire that he can take THERN IS STILL SOME DANGER, from the fact that the building iv not fire proof and is very old. The house is now provided with almost everything that has been invented in the way of fire checks—a stand pipe in the cellar, a tank on the roof, several plugs in the yard, a number of Babcock extinguishers and quite a collection of hand grenades, besides a corps of vigilant watchmen, who make frequent rounds during both day and night, alert for the slightest indica- tion of fire. But there is one thing that is unsatisfactory and that is the fact that the nearest city fire-alarm box is in the Treasury building. IN CASE OF A FIRE AT NIGHT | it would be necessary for the watchman to run across the grounds, up the steps to the Treasury door and there await the pleasure of the man inside for admittance, a process con- suming several minutes of very valuable time. while the flames would be making dis- astrous headway. At such a time minutes— seconds—are of infinite value and it might re- sult in the destruction of the mansion and its recious relics and the endangering of the ives of its occupants. Accordingly Col, Ernst has decided to take some steps toward the establishment of an alarm inside the honse in order to save every second in case of a fire and to add one more precaution to those already adopted, PROPOSITION. To thisend he has been for some woeks in communication with several people con- nected with this line of business, and has, at last, found a firm that agrees to establish in the White House, free of cost, a system of alarms to be connected with the city fire alarm service. The device is like that now used iu several of the public buildings of the city, cunaisting of a smail iron box with a glass front, the break- ing of which sets off the alurm. ‘Several of these will be placed in the house in different parts. WAITING FOR THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS, The proposition has not been finally adopted, but Col. Ernst has communicated with the Dis- trict Commissioners, asking them if they will consent to assume the care and maintenance of such a system if it is introduced. He does not care toi take this duty upon himself. since he has no means at his hand and no trained experts to look after sucha plant. which requires constant attention, He has not yet received a reply from the Commissioners, ———__.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1890. ‘ — THE ATTITUDE OF THE ASSOCIATION TOWARD PO- LITICAL PARTIES DISCUSSED—REPORTS FROM VARIOUS STATES—PROGRESS OF THE CaUsE— & GONG OF PROPHECY, ETC, ,There was not a very large audience at the Lincoln Music hall this morning when Miss Busan B. Anthony called the meeting of the National American woman suffrage ussocistion to order. The floor and first gallery were but half full, while in the second gallery there were but two lonely mortals, one woman and one man, who shared the seats with a perfection of equal rights that should have set a good ex- ample to the ladies on the platform and ap- Peared as a very encouraging omen. If any- thing the woman in the gallery had the better of it Soon after the opening exercises she was reinforced by another of the predominant sex, SUSAN B. ANTHONY. If yesterday was Mrs. Stanton’s day today be- longed to Saint Anthony, as her followers love tocallher. She held the gavel today as vice president of the association in the absence of Mrs, Stanton, president, who sailed for England this morning. Saint Anthony was in good voice and never more enthusiastic than she was today. As shesat by the speaker's desk clad in a han e dress of black silk, with a white shawl drawn over her shoulders, she was the life and soul of the meeting. On the desk was a large bunch of flowers sent by some ad- mirer and over the corner of the desk was draped a large piece of yellow silk, the colors of the ause, iiss Anthony showed that she was not entirely without experience as an exe- cutive officer by the way she handled the body under her control, FROM THE VARIOUS STATES. The first part of the morning session was de- voted to hearing reports from the various states, Clara Bewick Colby, editor of the Woman's Tribune, was called upon to speak for Nebraska, but it seemed she was absent, occu- sy in jotting out the convention number of er paper and Ne} raska received no attention. Eugenia B, Farmer of Covington, Ky., secre- tary of the Kentucky equal rights association, gave an intereating account of the progress of the good work in her state. : —— had no representative present to speak lor her. PROGRESS IN NEW YORK. Harriet Purvis of Philadelphia read the re- port for Pennsylvania, Miss Lillie Devereux Blake of New York spoke for her state, and spoke at length, too, for the secretary had to cull her to time after she bad said only a part of whatshe wished, Sheasked permission to keep on, but Saint Susan would only allow her to finish her sentence. In the course of her remarks she told of the work women sre doing in their own behalf before the state senate and the kindly treatment they received at the hands of the Albany statesmen, “There was a time,” said Mrs. e, “when the committee to which our measures were re- ferred invariably failed to report upon them. ‘That time is passed now, however, and no com- mittee would dare to refuse a report of some sort. Our measures may be killed in the Sen- ate, but they are never killed in committee, We are allowed upon the floor of the Senate and have a fair chance to argue our points be- fore the Senators themselves and are not obliged to look down upon them from distant galleries as our sisters in Massachusetts. We may not get all we want from them, but we do get at them, at any rate.” She told of the needs of her state and the work being done, and bewailed the fact that there were not more chances for female workers, She said that there was nota single police matron in the many police stations of New York and Brooklyn, although there was urgent need of such officers, OTHER STATES, Miss Harriette R. Shattuck, vice president of the Massachusetts woman's rights association, spoke for the eastern section of her state, while Mr. Heury B. Blackwell of Boston also had something to say for the Bay state association. Mra, Clara A. McDiarmid of Arkansas spoke for Arkansas and the Rev. Olympia Brown waxed eloquent over the needs of the cause in Wisconsin. From this she soon reached the needs cf the cause in general and gave our legislatorsa severe rating for not granting to Women the rights that the Constitution guaranteed,but unfortunately had tailed to confer. 4 SONG OF PROPHESY. Here Miss Anthony stepped forward and re- quested to be allowed to break the regular course of the program while Miss Johnson fa- vored the audience with a song. This was re- ceived with applause and Miss Johnson, a very pretty young lady in a_ dress of sage green cashmere, trimmed with silk, came forward and sang a sweet song of prophecy, telling of the days to come. This was ioudly applauded, and she was obliged to sing once more. Saint Susan in announcing the name of the encore, “The Angel Come,” remarked that they frequently do come when we have a chance to hear such music, A COMPLAINT FROM SOUTH DAKOTA. Miss Authony then announced the subject for the morning’s discussion to be ‘The attitude of this association toward political parties,” and in- troduced the first speaker, Alice M. Pickler of South Dakota. Mrs. Pickler, in the course of her remarks, said that one of the facts most to be regretted in her new state was that the uni- versity and agricultural college, in both of which women had equal rights with men, were governed entirely by men. Her remurks were very brief, as she was only up to open the ques- tion, 4 REPUBLICAN MUGWUMP WITH DEMOCRATIC PROCLIVITIES, Rev. Frederick A. Hinckley of Massachusetts said: “In my opinion this association should urge its rightful demands upon all parties, but have no entangling alliances with any of them. Whatever I may be elsewhere—in fact Iam reaily a republican mugwump with democratic prochivities—on this platform I am first, last and all the time a woman suffragist, We are bere, perhaps, with divisions upon every other question, excepting only that of equality | of rights. To keep from breaking up we must havea eee with equal rights for ite only plank. Inacountry where the right of government rests upon the consent of the | governed there can be no room for debate as to the propriety of equal rights, Our question is af undamental one. Let us rest our whole cause upon the great American principle of brother- hood. But it is not a questionof individual standing with various parties, but us to the re- lation we as a party will bear to other parties, Therefore I say in closing let us insist first and all the titae upon the right of woman suffrage, but let as not make any entangling connec- tions with any of the great parties.” STICKING TO THE POINT, Mr. Wm.
