The concluding sessicis of the Woman Soffrage Association began. this morning. ‘There was » larger crowd than has attended any previous meeting. The body of Metzerott Hall was not well filled, but a Circle of attentive listeners looked down from the galleries. For the first time there was just a littie rift in the lute of the quiet and even discussions which have characterized this convention. ‘Miss Anthony presided as usual and had over her shoulders her little red shawl, whichtis such 8 familiar object to those who have known her longest. By the sa token Miss Anthony Grows brighter, with every ssetion, and ber f interpolations between the and the speakers were wittier and ‘more entegtaln~ [gates nd a full fe otter than the wea had any business to logislate on Sunday opening. Mra. Deidrick of Massachusetts, Mre. Pickler of South Dakota, Mra, Avery and Mr. Blackwell had something’ to say. some for and some against the resolution, aud several were perfectly willing to be heard, only Rer. Anna o ly cut short the fun when half- past 21 arrived, and the usual program hed to followed. WORK BEFORE CONORESS. Mrs. Harriet L. Upton read the report of the congressional committees. It was full of inter- esting detail. Mrs. Upton sent to all the mem- bers of both houses of Congress s circular let- ter asking them if they believed in woman suf- If, 40, if in full or modifled form, &c. Some of the most characteristic answer, and on the wrong side to the suffrage mind, were read. One Congressman replied: “I do not believe in women voting; not even widow women.” Another wrote: “'No, 0." The report of the committee ‘on federal ruf- frago was au able Paper read by Clara, Howick Colby, Nebraska, The discussion which fol- lowed, led by Sara Winthrop Smith of Connecticut, was followed by remarks by Mr. Blackwell, Mrs. Colby, Miss Gillett, and Mrs. Virginia L. Minor St. Lonis, the plaintiff in the famous suit, Minor versus Hap- peraatt. Mra. Minor voted’ in St, Louis once, ut she was obliged to prosecute the federal Powers in her attempt to get it counted. It finally went to the Supreme Courtand was decided adversely, but that bus not dulled any of her determination to keep on trying. If Senator Hill and Gov. Flower felt any par- ticular thrill of satisfaction this morniug it can be put down to the fact that the convention has voted them a resolution of thanks, because each of them in their annual messages have recom- mended the appointment of two womenas dele- tes to the constitutional convention for 1804 New York. THIS AFTERNOON'S 6ESSION. The ression this afternoon was devoted to farther discussion on the world’s fair Sunday opening legislation, reports from state ¢om- muttees and Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery's splen- di mittee, Among other things she recommends that a suffrage address shall be made every day while the fair is open.

At the even- ing session a report giving the opinions of twenty-one governors of the states and terri- tories was read by Mary H.

Se ge ee TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER. An Upward Jamp of the Thermometer, but It Will Be Colder Tomorrow, From 6.2 degrees below zero to 16 degrees above isa decided jump. These figures rep- resent the difference in tho minimum temper- ature in Washington yesterday and today. It was not necessary, however, to go to the weather bureau to learn that the weather today is decidedly milder than it was yesterday. The most striking evidence to that effect is the change in the streets from snow and ice to slush and water. Hi The general cheerfulness of the atinosphere ‘was dampened solely by the difficulty of walk- ing with comfort in anything save rubber boots. ‘The accumulation of melting snow and dirt made street crossing a matter of discomfort.

The drunkards at the home need not then be discharged to infest the city, vex the police and catse the comment of good citizens. They will be legally placed in the in- firmary, be treated for their disease and be- come ‘Tright-minded citizens to glorify Gen.

The President todas approved the joint reso- lution authorizing the Secretary of the Treas- ury to cover back into the treasury $48,800 of the appropriation to the Choctaw and Chicka- saw Indians. This action involves much more than appears on the surface. It implies the payment out of the treasury of assum amounting to over $2,900,000 for lands taken by the United States from the Choctaw and Cherokee Indians and ap- appropriation of this amount was made by the Filty-first Congress, bat the approval of the necessary papers was withheld by the Presi- dent, who sent a special Message to the Senate cniling attention to some al leged defects of title as to part of the Innds, and to excessive fees allowed to attor- neys and claim agents by the Indians, The Senate, after considering these ob- jections at its last session, passed a formal resolution declaring’ that the appropriation ought not te be longer with- held. The President at this seesion sent an ad- ditional message to Congress making the point that the amount appropriated was 44,800 in excess of the actual amount due. This Inst objection — has = been = met_—_dby the passage of the Dill today ap- proved, and there appear now no further ob- stacles to the parment of the Choctaw and Chickasaw claim, though, of course, the deple- tion of the treasury to the amount of nearly conditions. This consideration, it is unofi- cially intimated, has had considerable weight in delaying the execution of the law up to the present tim ° THE CHRISTIAN COMMISSION, Interesting Topics Discussed at Its Session Today.
