The lecture room of Foundry M. EK. Church was comfortably filled this noon with an audience consisting of the clerzy- men of all the leading Protestant churches of Washington to listen to an address by Rev. Dr. Henry Lunn of England upon the subject of church unity and co-ordination. ‘The address was given in a style of rapid conversational sketching, in which his {hearers canght a glimpse of the leading figures in the present movement going on in England toward the afliliation of the estabiished church with non-conformist be- lev It was br.

The conference was renewed in 18K and in INM, the at- tendance increasing from about 1,000 at the opening session to over 2,500 last sum- mer.

Chipa Wants Them Carried on ut Port Arthur. TIEN TSIN, February 18.—The Tsung-Li- Yamen (the Chinese foreign office) has re- quested Mr. Denby, the United States min- ister to this country, to suggest to the gov- ernment of Japan that the peace envoys appointed by the two countries meet at Port Arthur or some place near Tien Tsin, in order to suit the convenience of Li liung Chang, one of the Chinese envoys. The Chinese government has requested Mr. John W. Foster, who was selected to assist the Chinese envoys in the peace ne- gotiations, to meet Li Hung Chang at Tien Tsin. Mr. Foster, who is now at Shanghal, will probably leave there for Tien Tsin as soon as communication between the two places is opened. LONDON, February 18.—A dispatch to the Times from Tien-Tsin says that Li Hung Chang, who has been appointed a peace envoy to Japan, will go to Pexin on February 2 to confer with the emperor. He will return to Tien-Tsin in two weeks, and will then proceed for Kobe. Advices from Seoul are to the effect that the king has refused to accept the resigna- tions of the ministers. It is reported that anti-reform ministers instigated another attempt to assassinzte Prince Pok. A dispatch from Gen.

PHILADELPHIA, February 1 p to noon today nothing had been heard of Ac- tor J. b. Gentry, who, last night, mifrder- ed Miss Madge Yorke, at Zeiss’ Hotel. The police officials are guarding every depot in the city closely, and if the murderer has not already made his escape from town it will be almost impossible for him to do so. Detective Geyer is of the opin- ion that Gentry caught the 10 o'clock train en the Pennsylvania railroad for New York last night, before the offic had i time to set a watch at the depots. The revolver with which the murder was committed was found this morning in a snew bank at Sth and Locust streets, which is but half a block from the hotel’ where Miss Yorke was murdered. Three chaim- bers were empty, skowing that Gentry had fired three shots at the unfortunate actress, enly oue of which took effect. Two bullets went wide of their mark and were fou buried in the wall. The third struck Miss Yorke in the center of the forehead and passed through ber head, coming out just back of her right ear. Miss Clarke, who was a friend of the dead girl's, and who was in the room at the time of the shooting, can give no rea- son for the murder, as she had never heard of any quarrels between the lovers.

Mrs. Harriet N. Ralston of this city ex- tended fraternal greetings on behalf of the General Spinner Memorial Association, which has for its object the erection of a monument in honor of the man who first opened the doors of the government de- partments to women. Ida Buxton Cole of Pennsylvania_spoke for the National Woman’s Auxiliary Keeley League, which is doing temperance work in its own particular way. One of the most eloquent addresses of the morning was made by Mrs. John F. Cook of this city, chairman of the dele- gates from the National League of Colored Women. In well-chosen words she out- lined briefly the work that is being done by the colored women of the land for the ad- vancement of their sex. Mrs. Bina M.West of Michigan spoke for the Ladies of the Maccabees of the World, Nettie E. Gun- lock of Illinois for the Ladies of the G. A. R., Mrs. Sarah KE. Reamer for the Pacific Coast Woman's Press Association, Mr: Mary Lowe Dickinson of New York for the International Order of King’s Daughte’ and Sons, Mrs. Hannah B.

Then came the principal feature of the morning session, the address of the presi- dent, Mrs. May Wright Sewall. It was a long paper, but full,of words of inspira- tion and encouragement for her h: and was listened to with the clo: All thrcugh’ the morning del in with rers, tention. had been dropping regularity, so that bY began there w the auditorium, and ‘the was a most brilliant one. her remarks Mrs. Sewall said: “Let us never forget that the national council from the first internaticnal council, in its turn, was the product of hospitality and festive jo: “The first president of the national coun- cil, opening its first triennial session four years @go, quoted the sentiment with which, three years prior to that time, Bliz- abeth Cady Stanton had opened the great meeting, which at once celebrated a birth- anniversary and the birth of a new idea. No more fitting words can be found with which to open the second triennial conside Mrs. Sewall scene pre: In the cour: session. Remember them with me: ‘A dif- ference of opinion op one question must prevent v working unitediy in se on which we agre: mindedness, a sweetness spirit in these words the ‘new woman’ of whom much false flippancy. with th has been thought to be impossible to women, and, indeed, even duritfg the era of organization the central motive of all organizations been to bring together those who do agree. This very fact was the weakness and the danger of organiza- tion as it was known prior to 188s. “The clubs organized by women in all the leading cities have thus far been isolat- ed, but it is hoped that a convention will be called within a year to form a national federation of women’s clubs. The influence of individual clubs weuld be increased by coming into such a federation, and the federation would be eligible to auxiliary- ship in the national ccuncil. The same is true of the women’s protective agencies and many other excellent societies th have been organized locally, but not as yet generally. Question of Diverce. “At the outset the council had no theo- ries concerning divorce which it wished to foist upon the public. Certainly through the organization of the standing committee it had no intention of expressing a sym- pathy with what is called ‘ea: divorce.” It seemed to the council in 1591, as it seems to the council in 1895, that masculine arr: gance could go no further than to organ- ize a league for the avowed purpose of advocating and securing a reform of laws concerning divorce, from the membership of which women were excluded. From time immemorial the natural interest of women in marriage has been stimulated by poet, preacher, teacher, essayist. and lecturer, and by the prevailing tone of society, of low and high degree alike. Therefore if there is any subject upon which it would seem consistent with the domestic nature, domestic habits, domestic tendency of women to express itself, it would seem to be the subject of marriage and its counterpart, divo! What the council first sought was membership for women in the National Divorce Reform League. This was obtained, and all women were honored and the interests of reform promoted by securing for Mrs. Mary 4 Livermore and Mrs. Fanny B. Ames mem- bership within said league. “During the sessions of this triennial the attitude of the council upon the subject of divorce will undoubtedly be clearly in- dicated by the report of this standing com- mittee and by the discussions which will follow tha report. But it is not unfit to declare here that at the present time the council is not expressing itself regarding the propriety or impropriety of divorce per se, but it is on record as demanding that in every state throughout the Union, that in the United States as a whole, wherever a commission is formed to investigate and report upon laws relating to marriage and and which characterize we hear so ‘To work together © with whom one does not agree serenit divorce, said commission shall be com- posed of an equal number of men and women. Whe Future of the Council. “The future of the eouncil must, like the future of every inst{tutign, depend upon the future of those .who compose it and ccrrespond with their future. The future condition of women gan be read by those who read the presert condition of women in connection with their past. “The most distinguished physiomgists row assert that every atom in the human body “is changed once in three months, though the authorities on this subject used to teach that sch complete change was wrought in the human body only once in each seven years, However this may le, women who are alert to the signs of the times must be conscious that within the seven years that have elapsed since the organization of the permanent Inter- rational Council of Women and the Na- tional Council of Women of the United States an almost complete tra formation this was given by the great occasion out of which these two organizations were torn, no one can doubt; and that this im- pulse itself has been strengthened by a hundred other new currents of influence with which it is consistent and harmoni-~ ous, must likewise be unqucstioned. In enumerating these other currents of influ- erce one cannot fail to refer with grati- tude to the work of the hoard of lady managers, who, the first to hold such ex- alted positions under the auspices of the United States government, discharged their duties so well that the record of their e~rk seems like a final refutation of every charge that the flippant world has been used to bring against women. “It is impossible in this connection, and as unnecessary as it is impossible, to give an outline of the work undertaken by the board of lady managers, or the briefest sketch of the work done by them, as their criginal plan was modified from time to time by circumstances and@ by experience. To one feature of it only do I ask your attention, and that is its international fea- ture. Nothing was more evident to the beard of lady managers than that the work of the women of the world could not be shown in the Columbian exposition, if the work of American women only was collected. Hence, the foreign travel of Bertha Honore Palmer and the foreign ecrrespondence of the board became a conscious impulse to the work of women ard to the idea of associated work among women in all countries of the globe. Nor was the work of the woman’s branch of the world’s congress auxiliary in this re- spect less important and less universal in_ its influence, and among ali the lessons taught by the exhibition of the products of woman's manual labor in the Columbian exposition, and by the presence of foreign women in the world’s congress of repre- sentative women and in the other con- gresses through the long series held under the auspices of the world’s congress aux- iliary, nothing was more valuable to Ameri- can ‘women than the opportunity thus afforded to get the foreign point of view in looking at their own achievements and to shift their point of view to a more in- telligent and sympathetic one in measur- ing the achievements of the women of other lands. Growth of Women. “It is qyite impossible that women in Siam even should ever feel again quite so humble, quite so subordinate, as before a Siamese woman was appointed by the king to represent her countrywomen in the de- partment congress of the international council at Chicago. Evidences of the growth of the self-respect of women, and of the public respect for them, are spread before our eyes in the issue of every daily paper, and in each issue of every magazine, large or small. To any student of history a fascinating history attaches to the study of planting and product, of cause and effect. In our own country, when we consider the origin of the spirit of organization, the muse of history takes us to Seneca Balls in August of 1848. It is not too much to say that without that meeting the board of lady managers had never had existence; that without that meeting the National Council of Women of the United States would have remained unborn, When we read the history of that meeting and con- sider how small it was in numbers, how little a thing it seemed balanced against the current world, the world of custom, of habit, of prejudice, of belief, we know that its members must often have felt a fainting discouragement. When we look at the Na- tional Council as it is—so small it seems in numbers when compared with all whom we wigh within its membership; how insig nificant it seems in influence when bal- anced against the forms ef ignorance and injustice, to a continual conflict with which it is committed by its constitution, that the heart may sink and hope may fall. But when we look at the board of lady man- agers at the woman’s branch of the world’s congress auxiliary, at all national organiza- tions of women outside the council, at all national organizations of women within the council; when we contemplate the sublime spectacie presented during the past week at Convention Hall under the auspices of the World’s Women's Christian Temper- ence Union, of which the National Women’s Christian Temperance Unien of the United States is so large a part, and when we see all of these as fruits of the planting of ‘48, and then look at ourselves and regard our work as a planting, we may take heart of courage, and may say with a ccnsciousness that there is no arrogance in the claim and no exaggeration in the prophecy—we, the women of the National Council, are a power; we, the women of the National Coun- ea light; we, the women of the Nation- al Council, are an inspiration; and in the fu- ture a manhood united with a woman- hood on a plane of moral pui higher and more exacting even than that hitherto de- manded of women alcne, a womanhood united with a manhood of a plane of ph. ical strength and intellectual culture greater than hitherto has been held as an’s ideal, shall in the relatively perfect world, in which such men and such women shall live and move and have their happy being, look back to this date as a planting and to us as sowers of good seed.” On the Platform. Among the women on the platform al- most every corner of the country was represented. As the president, Mrs. May Wright Sewall, introduced the delegates of each allied society, the lady responded by coming to the front and giving the con- vention an opportunity to see her. She then announced the names af the other delegates from her particular society. It is a bright, intellectual-looking body, repre- ntative of the grand development made the women during the past decade. Mrs. Sewall has a happy way of saying apropos things, and as each delegate pre- sented herself she made her and her work known in brief, pithy sentences. There was almost a continuous round of applause, particularly when such well-known people usan Anthony, president of the National Woman Suffrage Association; J. Ellen Foster, president of the National Woman's Republican Association; Frances E, Willard of the National W. C. T. U.; Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens, president of the Wimodaughsis; Mrs. Ellen S. Mussey of Washington, in behalf of the Legion of Loyal Women, and Mrs. Emma R. Wal- lace, “president of the National Woman's Relief Corps were present. When Mrs. Wallace was introduced she gave the military salute. She is a gentle, sweet- faced little Woman, and was greet- ed with a round of applause. She is well known in connection with her work as one of the board of lady managers of the world’s fair. She is also president of the Illinois Industrial School for Girls. Connected with Mrs. Wallace in this work is Mrs. Margaret Ray Wickins of Kansas, who will speak at the evening session Thursday on ‘The New Thought, the True Thought for Philanthropy.” Mrs. Wickins is a woman of splendid stage appearance and a delightful talker. Mrs. Minnie D. Lewis of New York is one of the most gifted and cultured women ¢f the Jewish faith in the United States. Her paper at the woman's congress in Chicago Was one of the ablest presented. She is a slight, dark yoman, of pleasing presence. She will present a esday morn- ing, on “The Influence of Women in Bring- ing Religious Convictions to Bear on Daily uife.” Mrs. sth D.

Active Women. The ladies who represent the National Council from Canada are Mrs. Frank Gibbs, the vice president of the Canadian Council, Miss Rowand and Mrs. J. V. Ellis. The Woman's National Press Association was represented by its fraternal delegates, Mrs. Hannah B. Sperry, president, and Miss Mary Foster. Mrs. Harriet N. Ralston, also a member, presegted a paper on the General Spinner Memorial Association, of which she is a member. Mrs. Ralston is eighty-five years old, but active and energetic as she w thirty-five years ago, when she was instrumental in getting women first em- ployed in the government's departments in Washirgton.

She is the daughter of Ezra B. ‘Taylor of Ohio, Congressman for many years, and the daughter-in-law of Judge W. W. Upton of Washington. She has execu- tive ability and can come as near doing half a dozen things at once as anybody. She is author of the book “Children of the White House” and treasurer of the Na- tional Woman Suffrage Association. Some Notes. The badges of the National Council of Women are varied. The members of the Triennial Council wear a crimson badge; those representing the various organiza- tions that go to make up the council wear a light blue ribbon; the fraternal delegates, who have no voice or vote, wear dark green badges; the committee of local arrange- ments wears a yellow badge; the press, vio- let, and the committee on railroad rates wears light green. As some of the ladies wear all six of the badges they present a rainbow ribbon-counter| appearance not quite in keeping with intellectual faces. ‘That portion of the president's address showing how the council had grown in the years of its work was greeted with vo- ciferous applause; also, when the fact that women who are delegates to the council were delegates to the last national repub- lican convention was brought out. Mrs. Kate B. Sherwood of Ohio, the au- thor of the “Patriotism in the Public Schools” work, was among the ladies 01 the platform. * Mrs. Sewall paused in the middle of her address this afternoon to greet and address Miss Frances Wijlard and Lady Henry Somerset as they came upon the stage, their entrance being greeted with applause. At the Ebbitt House this afternoon a re- ception to the National Council of Wemen is being held, tendered by the general of- ficers of the “ouncil and the ex-oflicio vice presidents. The Delegates.
