If woman surrenders herself to the dominance of man then is civilization arrested and manhood fails of its purpose. But where there were women strong enough to demand justice there have always been men generous ‘enough to grant them that justice. She paid a high tribute to ay evenix cixes reall the members of the Woman's Council and the Woman's Suffrage Society and to the leaders in these movements. Miss M.

Mr. Garrison spoke interestingly on “The Social Aspect of the Woman Question.” He declared that non-partisanship in government breeds ignorance itr those shut out, and it was no wonder that women were not interested in great questions when they did not have even a small property vote.

When ‘Senator Sherman, who presided. ‘declared nominations to be in order three names were presented, the ap- parently unexpected one being that of Senator Manderson of Nebraska. It was at once seen that a good-natured western sentiment had mule up ite mind to get the better of the divided east, but there was no excitement nor any ap- pearance of bitter rivalry. ‘Ihe contest was a iriendly one in every respect and when the re’ult of the seventh ballot wax announced it was known that Senator Mnanderson, with twenty-one votes, had been elected to the most | honorable ion in the gift of his fellow Senators. motion of Senator Frye the mination (for it has to be ratified by the Sen- ate) was made tnanimous. Itwas a very clever _- maneuvering that pitted Maine against | Massachusetts and then captured the prize for SATISPACTORT TO BOTH PARTIES. The election of Senatoz Manderson is most satisfactory to democrats and republicans alike. Mr, Manderson is fearlessly impartial and po- | litely equitable as a presiding officer; he also | keeps Senators up to the highest possible stand- ' ard of legislative bebavior. On Saturday, dur- 'g the debate on the Indian appropriation bill, Senators Dawes and Jones of Arkansas lost all | consciousness of the presiding officer's presence. Mr. Manderson had the gavel just then, and he | used at; then he said: “The chair must insist ‘in the orderly conduct of public affairs that ament should not degenerate into mere col- | and he askx Senators to obey the rules | and ‘address the chair.” The rebuke was re- | ceived with manifest approval all over the | chamber and the proceedings proceeded in an orderly manner. .

Where the Latter Has Been Injured by the Former in the Base Ball War. The protestations of the league magnates that there is no earthly show for the associ tion to live without its support, are beginning |to be received with winks of the eye on the j Part of the general public, as there is no dis | counting the fact that the association has shown a largeamount of good sense in its fight so far | againstthe national agreement. In the first place, it has scored a great vietory in deciding to keep its hands off contracted players, while the league is engaged in looting and devastat- ing against the best interests of the game and the sentiments of the ball public. If the asso- ciation can keep itself straight on this line, and will but preserve a consistent conrse in respect- ing the inviolability of contracts, it will have a much harder hold on the sympathies of the people, and will stand a better show for success. In bat one spot has the association been badl weakened, and in only one other has it been touched with any effect. ‘The former is Colum- bus sud the latter Baltimore. ‘The desertion of the Columbus men has been a sctback to that tearm from which it will be hard to recover, but the magnates there say they will be able to fill the vacancies without any difficulty. ‘The loss of Shindie and Griffin by Barnie has hurt the Orioles pretty hard, but the plucky William is not downhearted. News comes east this morn- ing from California that Van Haltren has been signed to play ball for Baltimore this year and next, having signed a two-year contract. In ‘the mean hington is doing noth- ing that shows on the surface in the way of getting plzvers, of whom there is need for three. Sam Trott says that there will be plenty of opporiurfities for getting first-class men in a short time, when the league clubs begin to un- load some of their players now under provis- ional contract and he promises that the vacan- ciex will all be filled ina satisfactory manner.

The Anacostia ‘izens’ Association met Fri- day night, President Charles Barker in the ch: ir. In the absence of Mr. Benjamin Mun- ll Judge George H. Armstrong was elected etary. The Minnesota avenue commitice reported that the assent of all the abutting land ownersalong that embryo boulevardwith butone exception had been secured, and Messrs. Julius ‘Tolson, George H. Armstrong, Charles Berker and Wm. J. Latimer were delegated to talk the single objector into line. Attention was called to the fact that Capt. Symonds had recom- mended that the Anacostia bridge be elevated ten feet above its present level and the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio branch be sunk three feet, thus obviating the grade crossing. | As there is a declivity on each side of the river the bridge and causeways could be raised with- out appreciable inconvenience to property* owners. It was reported that the Commisaion- ers favor the plan of cutting the bridge in halves placing the sections parailel, thus doubling the width and halving the length. | This nece 8 the building of a long cause- It decided to urge upon the Com- ers the importance of compelling the re and Ohio Railroad Company to sta- tion a gatekeeper at the point where its track crosees Bridge street.

A general order to the’ army has been ismed fixing a maximum limit for the punishment of enlisted men in time of peace for all crimesand offenses within the jurisdiction of courte-mar- tial. The regulations contemplate a uniform degree of punishment throughout the service and the inhibition of excessive sentences by courts-martial. The severest penalty pre- scribed is ten years’ imprisonment, and this can be imposed only in cases of manslaughter and assault with intent to kill. The greatest punishment for desertion is imprisonment for five years, which, however, may be imposed only for desertion in the presence of an Indian outbreak.or other trouble or when the act is joined in by two or more soldiers in the execu- tion of a conspiracy. ‘The maxi of desertion is two and a half years’ imprison- | Ment, with one yeur added for each previous conviction of the same offense. Deserters who surrender cannot be imprisoned for a longer period than ten months. The order was ivsued at the instance of Sec- retary Proctor and is intended as an act of jus- tice to the soldiers who have repeatedly com- | plained of undue discrimination in the matter | of punishment under the present nystem. The Secretary of War has directed that the reward for the apprehension of deserters in the army bo increased to $60. ° SRE ERS 2A REORGANIZING THE ARMY. Effect of the Measure Which Was Passed by the Senate on Saturday. ‘The Senate Saturday passed the House bill to increase the artillery arm of the service, with an amendment reorganizing the whole line of thearmy. The effect of the. bill as it now stands will be to make a three battalion organ- ization for each of the three arms, to increas the number of artillery regiments from five to, seven aud to relieve stagnation in promotion, especially in the artillery and infantry. Each regiment of infantry, artillery and cavalry will hereafte: be composed of twelve companies, | making three battalions of four companies cach. ‘The purp to have eight companies of each regiment f™@intained on a perfect war while the other battalion of four com- be amere ckeleton for organization in time of wai in the grade of secon be created and about 100 captains, 200 first lieutenants and 200 second lientenants will be promoted. Should the artillery feature alone prevail two lieutencnt colonels would be promoted to colonels, two majors to lieutenant colonels, six captains to majors, twenty-four first lieuten- ants to captains and twenty-four second lieu- tenants to first lieutenants, leaving twenty va- ies in the grade of second lieutenant to be filled from graduates of theacadumy, the ranks of the army or civil life. oe THE GUNBOAT BENNINGTON, panies She Completed a Successful Trial Trip Satur- day Afternoon. The new gun boat Bennington completed a successful trial trip Saturday afternoon. Her run of four consecutive hours down Long Island sound in a heavy sea against a stiff breeze developed the fact that she possessed not only ample horse power but also excellent seagoing qualities that insure her acceptance by the government from the builders, J. F. Palmer, jr., & Co., of New York. The circum- stances surrounding the trial were very severe aud that the little vessel stood the strain proves her value. According to the nearest approximation now ble 3.471.7 horse power was developed, or 7 more than the contract callsfor. | This will give the contractors a bonus of $7,170 on the contract price and places the vessel sixty-seven horse power ahead of the Concord. The highest pressure at the boilers reached daring the trial was 170 pounds, with 163 in the ne room. ‘The highest number of revolu- reached was 154.9 per hour on the star- board screw, with 150.9:per hoa: on the port. ‘The average revolutions per hou: for the first two hours on the starboard engine were 15633, with 148: on the port engine. The lowest steam pressure during the whole time at the boilers was 155 pounds in the third hour and the lowest number of revolutions was 151 star- board and 143 port, also during the third hor ‘The highest speed reached any hour was 17.2 knots, while the average was about 16.5. =e Irrigated Farms in Arizona, Acensus bulletin prepared by Mr. F. H. Newell of the U.S. geological survey, under the direc- tion of Special Agent Hyde, in charge of the division of agricultare “A,” states that there are 1,075 irrigated farms in Arizona, having a total area of 65,821 acres or an average of sixty- one acres each. The average cost of Innd, in- cluding purchase price, fencing, _ plow- ingand water right, is £16.92 per acre, of which $7.07 represents the cost of water right, average valuation piced upon the land by the owners in £48.68 per acre including buildings. ‘The average annual cost of water is $1.55 per acre, and the averaze annual valae of farm products $18.92 per acre, ranging from 39.26 in Mericopa to #71.00 in Yavapai coungy. The bulletin states that the acreage now under irrigation approaches the maximum possible with the present water supply and methods of utilization, but that the conserva- tion of the flood waters that now annually ran to waste would enormonsly increase the area susceptible of tuccessful cultivation. A Testimonial to Mr. Blaine. A testimonial to Secretary Blaine has been signed by the leading New York wholesale mer- chants in the dry goods, bagging and leather trader, The testimonial says: ‘The under- signed, wholesale dry goods merchants, ex- porters and others of the city of New York (ir- respective of party) desire to exproen their ap- preciation of your action in the matter of re- ciprocity with Brazil, aud trust that the wise and far-seeing policy thus inaugurated may be extended to the other South American nations, thus materially increasing the commercial prosperity of the United States.” ‘The testimonial will be placed in a handsome morocco case, and will resented to Mr. Blaine in this city by Laurus Loomis of the dry goods firm of Root & Childs. ‘The letter pre- pared to accompany the testimonial saya the signers represent a commercial capital of $50,- | = ‘Mr. Windom’s Insurance. In a statement recently published in Tux Stan respecting the estate of the late Secretary Windom it was said that there were “two policies on the Secretary's life, one in anorthern institu- tion, which he took out thirty-one years ago, for $5,000, and on which hé has probably paid | more premiums than the amount of the policy. ‘The other is for #2,000, in a company in Minne- sota.” ‘The agent of the northern company re- ferred to states that the policy had been paid in fall, and that the entire amount paid by Mr. Windom since he took out the policy in 1860 was $2,205.25.

Over 250 Houses in Ruins and 1,400 People ‘Homeless. Over 250 houses are in ruins in Yuma, Aris., and 1,400 people are homeless. Over 1,000 per- sons are being fed daily at the Southern Pacific Hotel and the town has provisions sufficient for eight days more. The blockade of west-bound trains, it is expected, will be raised im about four daye, but it will be at least two weeks be- fore they can go east. Reports from Jakuno, fifteen miles above ‘Yuma, are to the effect that the flood drove the people into the treetops. Many became ex- hausted from cold and hunger before the flood abated and dropped into the water and were drowned. It is estimated that anywhere be- tween 30 and 100 lives were lost in the valley. Desolation reigns supreme all along the valley. Eighty miles south of Yuma, where 5,000 In- dians live, the country is flooded for 80 miles squaro, and as there are no hills for refuge it is reported that more than one hundred of them have been drowned. The valley in Col- orado is one vast sea of water a8 far as the cy van see in every direction. The river has fallen six feet six i in thirty-six hours and is now nearly at a standatill. ‘The weather isthick and threatens heavy rain.

The Hennessy murder case is on trial in New Orleans. On Saturday George Masacre testi- fied that he passed by a cobbler shop in Girard near Basin street about 11 o'clock on the night of October 15, 1890. He saw a light in the shop and heard voices. [This is Monasterio's shop, the place where the assassins were in hiding when the chief came up.] Continuing, witness wid that he also saw five or six men standing under the grocery shed oposite, recognizing two of them. Witness then identified Scaffedi and Monasterio as two of the men he snw at the corner. [The identifica- tion caused a profound sensation in court.) Zachary Foster, a colored man, said he was returning from & meeting at llo'clock that night and saw three men with shotguns, or long pistols, pointed as if to fire, standing in front of the alleyway near Monasterio'sshanty. They fired at man in light clothing approaching. He stopped and saw the man in light clothes brace himself against the wall and fire back at four men who were shooting at him. ‘The faces of three of these he saw distinctly, and identi- ficd them as Scaffedi, Marcheni 'and Politz. Several other witnesses testified that they heard the shooting and saw the men. SCATTERED TO THE WINDS. The Novel Disposition Made of “Puck” Meyer's Ashes by His Friends. A committee of four from the Staten Island | Schuetzen Corps, appointed to carry out the request of Henry Meyer, proprietor of the | Puck Hotel at Port Richmond, that his ashes be scattered to the winds from the top of the statpe of Liberty on Bedlow’s Island, fulfilled their mixsion yesterday. When the top of the pedestal was reached by the committe: the metal urn containing the ashes of Meyer was opened and each committee- man put a portion of the contents, which weighed abont fonr ponnds, intoa paper bag. The delegation then climbed the staircase lead- ing to the crown of the statue, where a brief | addvess was made by the master of ceremonies, | afier which the four committeemon, each hold- ing one of the b2gs containing the ashes in his right hand, pronounced these words together: “Here goes the last of Puck Meyer. Happy days,” and then scattered the ashes to the four winds. The ceremony was concluded by the opening of two bottles of champagne and the drinking to the health of “Puck” Meyer. may eet INDIANS TO BE LISTED, Secretary Noble Favors Taking in About 3,000 of Them. A special dispatch to the New York Tribune from Washington says: Secretary Proctor in- tends to enlist 3,000 Indians in the army. It is believed that this number will include all of the active young men in the Sioux nation who are inclined to make trouble. Uuder the existing Jaw the secretary has the authority to enlist 1,000 Indians as scouts. Three thousand is the number required to put out of the way the active and troublesome among the Sioux. The secretary hopes to obtain from this Congress authority to enlist the full num- ber required as scouts. If he does not he still has authority, which he will undoubtedly ex- ercise, to enlist 2,000 Indians as private woldiers. This he can do as vacancies occur without extending the limits of the army. the re to the War Department say that the Indians make splendid ra. ‘They have a perior,to the class of men enlisted in the muite different men ofce they have the army uni- form on their backs.

From the New York Herald. In Washington street car managers have not yet learned that a necessary part of conducting the street car business is to deprive employes of everything approaching comfort or resem- blitig consideration. On the contrary, they even work as endurable as they can. Of course. this is not right, and the managers will learn some | “Perms cash. day that homuneness isa great mistake when exercised to street car employes. But it is rather pleasant to see while it fasta. In Wash- ington, for instance, the driver doesn’t have to stand in bad weather with the rain or snow or sleet beating into his fnce.

The equinoctial crosses the ecliptic every year when the sun enters Aries, but not at the same point. It retrogrades about fifty seconds of are ina yearand this complicated movement is called the precession of the equi- nox. This backward movement continues for about 25,000 years, when a new cycle begins. If the earth were a perfect sphere there would be no precession of the equinoxes. ‘There is, however, a protuberance of matter at the equa- tor, and the powerful influence of the sun and mane bolo forces the earth to re- 8 to the attraction and causes a rolling or wabbling motion of the ‘pole of the earth around the pole of the ecliptic in a small circle and with so slow a motion that a revolution is completed in about 26,000 years. The change in the polar star is another result of this move- ment. |The present pole etar will not hold that distinction 2,000 years hence. but will be re- placed by the bright «tar Vega. ‘The sun rises on the Ist about 6:30 and sets shortly before 7, the day being one hour and a quarter longer at the close of the month than St its beginning. The March moon does not come in until the 10th.

Jupiter is also morning star, but just at Present he is not very brilliant. He has hardly emerged suficiently from the sun's rays to admit of our seeing him, as he rises only half en hour ahead of the sun. He is, however, gradually widening the distance, and at the end of the month will be up one hour and « half before sunrise, and as his aes ts gradually increasing he will be a beautiful object some little time before morn begins gleaming in the east. Jupiter is moving rapidly to the west- ward and is approaching Veuns as the latter moves to the eastward, and the two are also getting closer together in declination, Venus moving north with greater rapidity than Jupi- ter. so that early in April there will be a rare treat afforded us, as the two test planets will be in conjunction. It will be well worth the sacrifice of a portion of the morning nap to take a peep at the sky at the time of the event, as the conditions are much more favorable than is usmally the case.

Mr. Lemcke, Treasurer Huston’s Probable Successor, Explains His Financial Views. From the New York Herald today. Mr. J. A. Lemeke of Indiana, who is to be the next treasurer of the United States, according to the present program, spent yesterday in New York. Politicians and other people from his ‘state called upon him at the Gilsey House to congratulate him on his coming appointment. He is well known fo: Indianians, having been for four years their,state treasurer. Probably ir. Lemicke's expectation of the appointment amouiits to pretty nearly a cer- tainty, but he would not say so yesterday. He admitted that the President had sent for him with that oftice in view, and he was waiting to see what would come of his conversation with Mr. Harrison. a “Nothing will be done in the matter until ‘Mr. Huston’s resignation is accepted,” said Mr. Lemeke. “That will not be until next week, in all probability. After that my appointment will be made known if Tem to be appointed. an, The Views which Thuve always held as to e proper financia of the it colueide exuctly wiih those which President Harrison has expressed and his administration has followed.
