From the Leston Grand Army Record. ‘There are very many and strong reasons why Washington should be selected as the place for all national encampments hereafter. It would be especially desirable for New England that this should be done. Then all could do as Post 19 of Fitchburg proposes to do this year, namely, to purchase their own beds, bring them home and return them the next year. So of other necessities. This would be following New Hampshire in the excellent example set of having all state reunions at the Weirs, where such excellent accommodations have beon pro- vided. Maine is following New Hampshire in this matter of state reunions; Massachusetts must soon “fall in.” Now is the time to be thinking about fixing upon Washington for all national encampments hereafter. So mgny railroads and water conveyances also center- ing at Washington pininly show that for less money than elsewhere New England ean go to Washington every year. And the interest will always be fer greater there than it is possible to be in any other part of the United States. ee eS Jersey Cattle at the Chicago Fair.

First Business Meeting of the National Asso- tation Convention. SLOW IX GETTING TOOETHER ON ACCOUNT oF THE HEARING BEFORE THE JUDICIARY CommITTEE— ‘MRS. EVERHARD PRESIDES—PROGRAMS FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT—GOME OF THE DEL- EGATES PRESENT. Once again the National American Woman Suffrage Association is holding its annual con- vention in this city. The convention began with a devotional service yesterday afternoon, and the first business session was held this morning at 10 o'clock. The convention will last over Thursday, with three sessions each day, and will close on Thursday evening with a reception tendered to the members and dele- Gates of the association by the Suffrage Asso- ciation of the District of Columbia. The convention this year promises to be not nearly as large as the one last year That one Legan immediately after the close of the great Woman's council in February, and the fact that these two important conventions were held together and in the same week was eu‘ficient to bring together an unusually large namber of the prominent women who are interested in the various branches of work for women. Tho sessions of both conventions were held in Albaugh’s Opera House and were attended by large crowds. It was literally woman's week. SLOW IN GETTING TOGETHER. The meeting this morning began the business session of the twenty-fourth annual convention of the association. It was held in the Church of Our Father, at the corner of 13th and L streets, and notwithstanding the very un- pleasant weather there wus an audience large enough to comfortably fil the main body of the church. "At the end of each pew was ritsed a small yellow banueret bearing the name of the state delegation to which it was assigned, and draped over the balcony above the plat form was a big flag that bad in the corner only one star and the name of Wyoming, the first state in the Union to recognize the claims of women to equal rights. Wyoming as a state has a warm pluce in the corner of every suffra- gist’s heart and by many is locked upon as far more desirable than the state of matrimony. There were afew men in the audience this morning, but they were far outnumbered by the women; it would not be safe to say by the members of the weaker sex. The meeting was very slow, owing to the fact that the House judiciary committee had given a hearing to the association that was set down fcr 10 o'clock this morning. Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stantonand Lucy Stone, the veterans of the suffrage movement, liad gone up to the Capitol to speak before the committee, and it was a matter of some difficulty to start the conven- tion without either one of this famous trio present. MAS. EVERHARD PRESIDES. In their absence Mrs. Everhard of Massilion, Ohio, president of the Ohio state association, was selected to preside over the meeting, and the deliberations of the morning were begun by an earnest prayer for grace and help upou the work by Kev. Auna H. Shaw. She asked for a special blessing upon the words spoken by their representatives before Congress in their appeal fer rights that bad been wrested from women. After the reading of the roll call of delegates by Miss Shaw the minutes of the convention of @ year ago and the meetings of the exccutive committee held since then were read by the recording secretary, Alice Stone Blackwell. In the absence of the corresponding secre- tary, Rachel Foster Avery, her report was read by her representative, Miss Lucy An- thony. The report showed that during the past year there had been unprecedeated ac- tivity along the lines of agitation and organiza- tion. The report then went on to give a re- sume of statistics made up from the reports of the various presidents of state organizations, showing the status of the suffrage question and the position of women in each state. Miss Alice Stone Biackwell read the report of her mother, Lucy Stone, chairman of the executive committee. A committee on resolu- tions, one from ench state delegation, was appointed, consisting of Mrs. Lide Meriwether, iss Sarah Smith, Elizabeth Lyle Saxon, Mary B. Thomas, Mrs. L. A. Demmon, Mrs. Ellen H. E. Price, Mrs. E. M.S. Marble, Mra. Holmes, Mrs. Murphy, Mise Lavinia A. liatch, Henry E. Blackwell, Miss Laura Clay, Miss Bowles. Neither of the ladies who were down on the program to make ten-minute reports of work in their states were present this morning, and, at 11:39, after being in session about an hour, the mecting adjourned. ‘The program for the afternoon and evening sessions is as follows: Second executive session, 2.30 p.m. Minutes. Report of* committee on credentials; amend- ments to constitution; ten-minute reports from presidents of auxiliary state societies. Evening session, 7:45 o'clock.

During the last Congress they got a favorable report from the House judiciary committee, having convinced that committee that Miss Anthony, Mrs. Stanton and the rest have been right ail along in their defense of the rights of women to unrestricted citizen- shi ‘This time there aro several new members on the committee and they have their work to do over again.

It had been purposely arranged that this hearing should occur during the session of the suffrage convention down town, so as to avoid a crowd in the committee room, yet there wero as many present as the room would hold, ‘The principal talk was by Mrs. Klizabeth Cady Stanton, who spoxe on Fights of individuals.denying the authority of government to abridge such rights on ac- count of sex.

New Regulations for Its Government to Be Strictly Enforced. ‘The Attorney General has received a copy of the regulations that have recently been formu- Inted by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for the government of the officers of the District jail. These rules have been, at the suggestion of the court, adopted by the warden of the jail, and the institution is now being ran according to their provisions. The new rules are the result of the investigation into the af- fairs at the jail conducted some weeks ago by Mr. Howard Perry of the Department of Jus- tice, a copy of whose report was sent to the court for its action. CHIEF JUSTICE MINGRAM'S LETTER. ‘On the 6th instant Chief Justice Bingham sent scopy of the rules to the Attorney Gencral with an explanation of the delay in acting upon the report. Ho said: “The matters covered by the report of Mz. Perry have reoeived con’ eration from the justices of this court, though we have bec: much embarrassed by the very serious jliness of the warden for several weeks past in doing so. We aro informed that he is rapidly recovering and boy.s soon to be re- stored to health. We have formulated a few rules that ecem to me to be proper for the gov- ernment of the officials of the jail and have forwarded the sxme to the warden with the re- quest that he adopt themand furnish a copy to cach of his subordinates.” THE RULES ADOPTED, The rules are as follows: 1. All officials are required to attend strictly to the duties of their respective positions, wi out interfering with those cf other officials, and to confine themselves to those parts of the jail properly connected with their own duties, except when otherwise directed by the warden or ofticer in charge of the jail at the time. 2. No official other than the matrons shall visit tbe femaie ward of the jail for any par- pose, unless accompanied by one of the ma- trons or in company with some other official, and no male official chall visit the female ward except when it is strictly necessary to do so. 3. No official shall use violent or angry lan- guage toward the prisoners, or use profane or indeceut language in their presence, or bebave in an unbecoming manner in the jail 4. No official shall carry into the jail, or keep or use therein, any intoxicating liquor (unless specially ordered for medicinal purposes by the physician in charge), and no intoxicant shall be allowed to be furnished to any prisoner except upon a like epecial order by the physician in charge. 5. No visitor shall be admitted to the jail by any official between sunset in the evening and S o'clock in the morning. 6. The guards on duty after sunset shall reg- ister their presence atevery half hour until san- rise, iu a manner to be prescribed by the warden, 7. Quarreling between ofticials is forbidden. Every official who shall have knowledge of any neglect of duty cr miscouduct on the part of any person connected with the jail which he cousiders it proper to call to the attention of the authorities will do 0 by written communi- cation to the warden, signed by such official. Such complaints, if accompanied by request to that effect, will be forwarded to the govern- ment authorities by the warden. Anonymous complaints by otticiuls are forbidden. 8. The violation of cither of the above regu- lations will be punished by censure, suspension from duty without pay or by dismissal. It is the opinion of tho Department of Jus- tice thata strict enforcement of these rules will undoubtedly operate to prevent a future repetition of the scandals exposed in Mr. Perry's report. —__—— +. THE MEXIC REVOLT. Alarming Tidings Received From the Bor- der. Alarming tidings from the border reached New Mexico yesterday. Capt. James Hyland, United States mounted inspector of customs, who arrived at Deming, says the malcontents are crossing the line in large numbers and con- Sregating in the vicinity of Carrisalille. All arcarmedand are evidently flocking to join ‘Sais and his lieutenant, who have taken refuge in the mountains thereabouts. ‘Therevolutionists comprise the worst classes, and life and property on the line is regarded as in danger. The troops asked for had not ar- rived. There is but little doubt that a move- ment ison foot against the Mexican govern- ment. The outbreak may not come for some time unless those captured in the revolt in As- cension are summarily punished. If the gov- ernment takes harsh measures with the priso- ners, trouble will undoubtedly be precipitated at once. Gen. Stanley bas received from Maj. L. T. Morrisa copy of Fl Jateruational, published at Polito Blanco, edited ostensibly by F. 8. Men- dosa, but really by Garza, which contains a Jong editorial befriending the revolution, justi- fying its purpose and the manner in Which e revolutionists have conducted themselves. Garza is called a patriot and his course and that of Diaz years ago are compared with the noting of marked similarity. The editorial concludes with the prediction that Garza will win, It states some of Diaz's best «upposed friends are backing Garza, and that when — enters Mexico even the army will join im. Capt. Hardie wires from Pena that Garza’s men are gathering in small squads. He deems it best to allow them to get well together before making « decent upon them. It was rumored in Mexico that Caterino Garza will soon be captured. Gen. Reyes has organized tive columns of rancheres for oper- ations between Laredo and Matamoras, and it is thought that if the American troops force “bandits” to cross over to his side their capture is sure. But to do this it is considered that Staniey necds more troops. Rumors of revolutionary proceedings in the states of Chihuahua, Durango, Sonora and Co- habuila are without foundation. ‘The govern- ment has received offers of service from many oiticers, but has declined them, on the ground that no necessity for their service existe. The government is not sending more troops to the uorthern frontier, considering the presence of additional forces there unnecessary.
