Ten days ago the equal sas commenced what y desig “a grand sweep of the state,” which is nothing less than a series of mass meetings in the interest of the pending suffrage amendment to be held in the 105 counties of Kansas prior to the election in November. leaders of the suffrage movement here have | dvocates of | rir aid the ablest female suffrage in the country, including such well-known women as Susan B. An- thony, Anna Shaw, Carrie Lane Chapman Catt and others. The first half dozen meetings have been held in the larger cities, and the intense in- brought to U terest which has already been arouset has | opened the eyes of the politicians and con- fronts them with a very perplexing pr lem. The republican and populist state con- ventions will be held within the next thirty days, the former on June 6 and the latter June 12. The suffrage meetings thus far held have aroused the women as well as the men who favor the adoption of the amend- ment, and out of this strong sentiment comes a demand for the indorsement of the question in the two platforms. ° The republicans, who must first yleld to or refuse the demands for a plank, are be- ginning to realize that they are confronted with a very troublesome proposition, Until recently the leaders of both parties op- posed any mention of the suffrage question in thd. platforms. The republican women were the first to advise this course, because, they said, it would be the best for the suf- frage cause. They did not want to make it a partisan question. Mrs. Laura M. Johns, the president of the Kansas Equal Suffrage Association, promulgated a letter to the | friends of suffrage two months ago, in which she advocated this course. Mrs. Johns was advised to do this by Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Iowa, who insisted that a victory for republicanism in Kansas was paramount to all other issues. Mrs, Johns’ position was commended by the republican press and leaders, and the result was that republicans generally coincided with her. At this time the populists were maintain- ing a silence which the opposition could not understand. When the leaders 4alked they predicted that no reference would be made in their platform to woman suffrage. This pleased the republicans, because it is the desire nearest their hearts. But they have recently learned that it will not do to take for granted all that the populists say. They realize now that a resolution declaring for the suffrage amendment will be incorporat- ed in the platform to be made by the popu- lst state convention to be held June 1 This fact has caused the republican leaders a great deal of concern, and while it is their present intention to evade that issue, they are not unmindful of the prestige it will give the new party. In all the meetings now being held in the state in the interest of equal suffrage the national leaders, who are daily addressing immense audiences, do not hesitate to say that the amendment will carry in Kansas, and that the women of this state in future elections will stand with the party that now has the courage to plant itself on the side of justice Jong delayed. > Pensions Granted.

Representative Fithian’s Bill to En- force International Regulations, Chairman Fithisn of the committee on merchant marine end fisheries has made a report on the bill to amend the act of j August 19, 1890, for regulations to prevent | collisions at sea. | The passage of the bill, says the report, | will Tead to the enforcement next year by the principal maritime nations of the in- ternational regulations to prevent collisions | H. Carmatt and ference of 1889, held at Washington. The resulations were unanimously adopted by | the conference, at which twenty-seven na- tions were represented, and were referred | by the delegates to their respective gov- rmments for consideration. Congress, by the act mentioned, enacted the regulations in their entirety, with the promise that they should not go into effect untill the President should issue a proclamation fixing the date | of their enforcement. This power was to be | exercised by the President when the other | nations parties to the agreement Indicated | their willingness to accept and enforce the | regulations. Through diplomatic channels the other nations have signified their readiness to | ewact the regulations, with certain modifi- cations, which are covered by this bill. The important change concerns fishing vessels, which are to be exempted because | the differen, in the modes of fishing em- ployed by the various maritime nations make it difficult, if not impossible, to frame common regulations. The other important amendment embodies a proposition which the delegates for the United States worked to have enforced by the conference, but on which they were out- voted by the foreigners, It is: “When, in consequence of thick weather or other causes, such vessel finds herself so close that collision cannot be avoided by the action of the giving-way vessel alone, she also shall take such action as will best ald to avert collisicn.” Says the report: “The substance of this note has been de- clared by courts to be an obligation ‘para- mount over all statutory rules.’ The dele- gates from the United States to the interna- tional marine conference urged its adoption on the ground that so fundamental a rule should be incorporated in a written code for the guidance of mariners. For various reasons the delegates from the United States were outvoted on this proposition by dele- gates for foreign nations in the conference. As foreign nations have now recognized the advisability of placing the note tn the regu- lations, there is additional reason why Con- gress should enact the proposition of the American delegates.”” When this bill has been adopted by Con- gress, it is expected that the President, acting in co-operation with other govern- ments, will proclaim the rules to be in force. o-— Nat al Banks, Abstracts of reports from the fifty-five national banks of Boston under the recent call of the controller of the currency show loans and discounts amounting to $147,54,- 421; lawful money reserve, $20,704,292; tn- dividual deposits, $111,553,206.

The petition was quite a lengthy one, covering a dozen typewritten pages, recit- ing a history of the case in the Police Court. It alleges that the information on which the men were prosecuted was not sworn to, and maintains, of course, that the trial court was without jurisdiction. It recites the rulings of Judge Miller, and refers to the alleged improper remarks of District Attorney Birney to the jury. It declares that the statute under which the accused were convicted is unconstitutional, and prays, in effect, that the Police Court be restrained from ——a the case. Mr. Hyman read the peti! was followed by Mr. Judson, who contended that for some reason or other no right of appeal lay from the Police Court. “at " remarked Judge Bradley, “out of the fact that there ts little interest in Congress about the matter affecting the rights of the people of the District.” District Attorney Birney and his assist- ent, Mr. C.
