THE IMPENDING STRUGGLE —__.—___— BERLIN, February 25.—A telegram from St. Petersburg received here says that it is reported there that Count Tolstoi, the noted Russian novelist and social reformer, is the author of the liberal manifesto recently is- sued against the czar’s declaration that he would uphold autocracy as ardently as his late father. Private dispatches received in Berlin on January 20 gave an outline of a speech made by the czar in reply to the addresses of delegations representing the nobility of the principal cities and many provincial assemblies who called upon his majesty in order to congratulate him upon his mar- riage. The czar sfid he had learned that in some of the provincial assemblies voices had been raised proposing that these bodies shovld have a share in the settlement of affairs of state aud expressing otner “ab- surd ideas.’ His majesty waded that he wisked everybody to understand that w he devoted all his powers to tus dear cou try, he was us ardently resvived as his dear father to uphold the autocracy ot the czar. his remark attracted widespread atten- tion throughout Kussia, and incidentally throughout the werld. ‘fo the majority oF people the czur’s utterance Was a surprise, zs he had been credited with possessit liberal! ideas, which might in time, it was hoped, induce him to inaugurate retorms bs the government of Russia. But his leclaration of his intention to uphold the autocracy of ‘he czar seemed to put an end to all such hopcs; and off February 1 the Daily Chronicle of London printed a mani- fest issued vy the people's rights party of Russia in the form of a letter to the czar, which was then being circulated through- out the Russian empire. After censuring the czar for his asser- tion of absolutism, the letter read: “The most advanced Zemstvos asked only for the harmony of czar and people, free speech and the supremacy of law over the arbitrariness of the executive. You were deceived and frightened by the representa tions ef courtiers and bureaucrats. So ciety will understand perfectly that it’ was the bureaucracy which jealously guards its own om spoke through you. The bureaucracy, beginning with the council of ministers ‘and ending with the lewest country constables, hates any de- velopment, social or individual, and ac- tively prevents the monarch’s free inter- course with the representatives of his peo- ple, except as they come in gala dress, pre- senting congratulations and offerings. “Your speech proves that any attempt to speak out before the throne, even in the mcst loyal form, about the prime needs of the country meets only a rough and ab- rept rebuff. Society expected from you encouragement and help, but heard only a reminder of your omnipotence, giving the impression of utter estrangement of czar frem people. You, yourself, have killed your own popularity, and have alienated all that part of society which is peacefully struggling forward. Som@ individuals ar jubilant over your speech, but you will soon discover their impotence. In another section of society your speech caused a feeling of injury and depression, which, however, the best social forces soon will overcome, before proceeding to the peace- ful but obstinate and deliberate struggle necessary to liberty. In another sectiqn ycur words will stimulate the readiness to struggle against the present hateful state of things with any means. You were tie first to begin the struggle. Ere long it will proceed.” .—_—s REPULSED THE CHINESE. Seventeen Thousand, Sepported by 20 Guus, Atiacked the Japanese. YOKOH AMA,February 25.—Dispatches re- ceived here from the commander of the Jzepanese forces at Hai-Cheng, Manchuria, say that a force of 17,000 Chinese, support- ed by twenty guns, recentiy attacked the Japanese troops at that place, but re- treated after the Chinese artillery had been silenced by the fire of the Japanese bat- teries. y SE GHAI, February — The British warship Alacrity has airived -here from Wei-Hai-Wei, and reports that the Jap- an had destroyed al} the land forts at that place, with 1 ception of those on the Island o¢ Lin-Kung-tao.

McBride, ex-secretary of state, was elected United States Senator on Saturday night at Salem, Ore., to suc- ceed J. N. Dolph. i At the beginning of the final ballot Cles- ton of Columbia county, a Dolph man, arose and presented the name of McBride. The immense throng in attendance im- mediately gave cheer after cheér for Mc- Bride. As the roll call progressed it be- came evident that McBride would be elected.

The news of the election ef George W. McBride as United Sta Senator from Oregon Was a great surprise to the con- gressional delegation from Oregon, Mr. McBride, though well known in his state, had not been in any way mentioned for Senator, and it was supposed, besides, that his health would not permit him to be a candidate for any office. He was in this city about a month ago, on his way back , Where he had to Oregon from New Yor undergone a surgical operation. In speaking of the matter Rey Herrmann of Oregon sald: “I have known Senator McHride intimately for ve was a competitor of mine in ISSt, I the republican convention, for the tion to Congress.

The new Senator-elect is a son of Dr. James McBride, one of the earliest pioneers minister to the Sandwich Islands in 18¢1. George W. McBride was born in Yamhill county, Oregon, in March, 1851, and was | the youngest of four sons. He was com- pelled in his early youth to giv study en account of poor health. His bad health resulted in his abandonment of the idea of practicing law, but upon his recovery he engaged in active business, becoming the leading merchant of St. Helen’s, the county seat of Columbia county. In when but twenty-six years cof age, although the county in which he lived was a democratic stronghold, he was elected as a republican to represent it was immediately chi house of representativ terms a rep atative and and in ISS? was the unanim democrats first elected Gov. majority of 7,000, while at the an even greate given to MeBrid During hi term he suffefed a severe accident, being thrown from a gon, and hus ever since been a cripple. Since then much of his life been passed in bed; but, even when d with sickness and tortured with pain, his indomitable e y and m will have enabled him to accom- piish more than most pecple in perfect health could do. His constant ill-health from boyhood has shut out from his mind all thoughts of assuming ponsibili- ties of matrimony, and at the age of forty- ene he is still unmarried. He caused one me time republican majority w: of the rooms at the state capitol to be fitted up as a chamber, and at times for months he transacted the busi- from his sick ness z curacy. He was re-elected as secretary of state, a much more important and lucrative office in Oregon than that of governor, by a ma jority of sabout 10,00),aithough at the same time the democrats again elected Pennoyer.,| governor. He has never been identified with either the gold or silver men, but knowing the strong sentiment of the people of his state ith punctuality and ac- in fi rv of silver coinage, however, it is ieved that he will join the ranks of the silver party In the United States Senate. He medium height, neither decidedly dark or fair; has blue gray eyes, and weighs about 119 pounds. Before the accident of several years ago, since which time he has been compelied to walk with crutches, he was a great lover of out-door sports, an“excellent horseman, ard a dead shot with the rifle. Land own- ing and dealing is a passion with him, and his landed estates in Columbia county, Ore., are extensive, beginning in some cases at the river front and reaching baci into the coast mountains for miles. A re- cent surgical operation upon the diseased hip and spine, which was the result of the fall from the wagon, has left him, it is said, in much better health than he has had since that time, and it is possible that his coming to the Senate will mark not only the beginning of a new career of use- fulness, but also of a restoration to phy: cal health. mplexion eee. —— Income Tax Retarns. ‘The commissioner of internal revenue has sent circular letters to all collectors of in- ternal revenue, calling their attention to the joint resolution which recently received the approval of the President extending to April 15 the time within which all income tax returns shall be made. This resolution was passed at the suggestion of the com- missioner of internal revenue, who in his letter to Congress stated that the delay in passing the appropriation bill for the col- lection of the income tax had so shortened the time that it would be quite impossible to distribute the blanks and receive all of the returns by March 1, the date fixed in the original act. The extension was made in the interest of taxpayers, who otherwise, through no fault of their own, would be subject te a fine for non-compliance with the law. ——_—_—__-e-—____ Improvements at Fort Myer. ‘The cavalry troops at Fort Myer will re- sume their regular exhibition drills in the riding hall next Friday, begirning at 2 o’clock p. m.

Oe IN BUSINESS Her Value as a Factét id Commercial Competition.” A STEROGRAPHER'S PRACTICAL PAP The Subject Discussed at the Na- tional Council. FUTURE PROGRAM ‘The second week of the National Council of Women began at 10 o'clock this morning with every prospect of greater success than attended the sessions of the council last week. The subject for the discussion of the morning session today was “Equal Pay for Equal Work,” a topic in which the’ women of the council are naturally very much in- terested. ‘As usual with gatherings of women, there was considerable delay in getting together, and when the meeting opened the at- tendance was comparatively slight, but it grew steadily, so that before the close practically all the seats were filled. Before the busin ot the day was en- tered upon the privileges of the floor were extended to Madam Josefa Humpal Zeman ef Hull House, Chicago, vice president for Bohemia in the International Council of Women. Madam Zeman represents the Unien of Bohemian Women, an organiza tion that had its origin in the world’s fair congresses of women. Madam 4 is She spoke for a more gener- cus feeling toward the foreign element,and sters achieve the best in American tizenship. She made an earnest plea in ‘or of the proposition to appoint a sec- retary for foreign women, holding the opin- ion that the council being national in cher- ; and not sectarian, was in the best jon to reach the foreign element, aternal greetings on behalf of the Working Woman's Society ot New Yori by Harriet A.

Women in Business. “Woman as a factor in the modern business world” was the subject of a thoroughly brsiness-like paper read by Miss Harriet A. Shinn of Chicago, one of handsomest delegates to the council. 2 $s the National Association of stenographer Shinn said th: improvement dul the there had been a #@ the past few the condition of women ho were npelled or who preferred to earn their own living. Of the women who enter the business world today none can have any idea of the soul-travail which the pioneers in the work had to undergo. ‘Their way was a hard one then, but they cleared the path for their sisters coming late’. ‘Today there can be no ¢ t wormen are a ctor in the As their re- ability and e come to be man increase in ds of With more rewards there comes also an in t, the two going alway: reat improvement in the con- f the wo 2g women, but there Is h to be ed.

Mins Harrict A. Keyser. The discussion was cort'nued by Miss Uarriet“A. Keyser of New York, who made one of the abl of the council. In the course of her remarks Miss Keyser been that world is an ‘he general impression woman in the modern bi interloper, taking the p! which right- fully belongs to man if it can be s that women had any hand in the sciences, we may fairly pr: m that the handle his own. “Now, Prof. Mason, curator of the de- partment of ethnology, United States Mu- 4 n’s ‘Sh um, hes proved in ‘Wo: Primitive Cuiture’ her quote from the editor’s preface been cunning in devising means of 2 beast and his fellow men. He has been the entor in every murderous art. The wo- n at the fireside beeame the burden r, the basket maker, the weaver, pot- agriculturist, domesticator of animals— ter s in a word, the inventor of all the peaceful arts of life.’ Perhaps we may see in this the origin of—‘no bullet, no ballot.’ “Is woman then an interloper in the mod- ern business world? When she invented the fiy-wheel it pointed to. mechinery im- plying traflic, When she invented granaries and tamed wild cats to destroy the vermin,it was the foundation of the grain markets of the world, which men have. modified until we have speculations in futures and whole fields of grain bought and sold before they are planted at all. “Half a century ago the average parent was depressed when a girl came into his home. Fifteen years ago, when my German shoemaker rejoiced that he had but one boy and three or four girls and confided to me the wish they had. all been girls, be- cause the girls earned money and the boys spent his, I knew the thrifty German soul had detected the keynote of commercialism for woman—an Fonorable independence and a welcome at birth not youchsafed to the woman of 100 years since. Woman’s Efficiency Proved. ‘The business woman has proved her effi- ciency. When she began in the field of labor, it was the fashion to lecture her upen this point. People who had never teen in business themselves were especially active in this direction. They did not then realize what they have since learned—that the business woman by attending to her own business (with not much time for the criti- cism of others) was learning how to work by working. It is the short cut to effi- clency. ‘A tremendous influence is that the busi- ness woman is of economic value to the state, though not yet adequately recog- nized, else it'would not be so difficult to get statistics upon this point. However, we know there isan army of heads of com- mercial houses, clerks, bookkeepers, type- writers and stenographers earning an hon- orable independence, and a help to any land fortunate enough to possess them. ‘The modern business woman has demon- strated the value of an amount of business training for all women, because business enters everywhere, and drill in business routine gives a staying power of work that nothing else does. So woman is bringing to various pursuits training end system of which the world is feeling the value in all organizations of women. In fact, the world would be the better if everyone were com- pelled to learn in some clerical capacity how to do things. Whrt is to me the highest achievement of the business woman is that she has demon- strated the need of equality. Every time a woman takes a position doing equal work with a man at a lower rate of wage, she demonstrates the wrong done to a woman, and every time she fills a position from which a man has been ousted, because a woman is cheaper, she shows the wrong done to man by a competition made un- equal by the disfranchisement of the wo- man. This is a two-edged sword cutting both man and woman. It does not matter whether the business woman has sense to see this. All this is for use. The age of com- mercialism is welcomed as it was not when we were struggling in the transition period, when a2 knight in glistening armor and sit- ting his horse like a centaur was receiving pledges of love from a woman with smiles, blushes and tears. It has been proved that commercialism gives scholastic supremacy and the time for knowiedge to run to and fro upon the earth is not for the prancing Knight, but for educated commercialism. If that commercial nation Phoenecia in- troduced leiters into Greece this is signifi- cant, and if the great nation of Israel must have the credit,it must be remembered that it, too, had its commercial side. This is the age of woman. We wait day by day for her achievemerts. The poet and the dreamer must stop short of the reality, and when the time, which is at hard, is fully come and our struggling sis- terhood claim their own, the business wo- man will be no mean factor in this great triumph, Woman’s True Position. Frances E. W. Harper, a brilliantly edu- cated colored woman from Pennsylvania, continued t discussion in an eloquent plea far a juster appreciation of woman's Too fev avennes of useful- epen to colored women, said et every time a colored wo- es success in any line it but proof of the ability of her sex Mrs. Harper told of a coiored woman she knew in Mississippi, a former ve of Jefferson Davis, who now has en- ¢ charge of a plantation of 130 acres of and raises a goodly crop of cotton with the labor she organizes. una two-thirds of all the truck garde! run by women, and in colored families the main quently a woman. One lfal sugar an is a colored years of 2g v" has from 20 to 40 ladlers under her directicn. ‘The speaker also related a num- ber of other instances of colored wemen varrying on business ventures of one sort and enother with flattering success, § ing that in this branch of the human race are latent abilities which if allowed to de- velop will give to colored women her true sition In the business world, not as pau- front rank of 's of the nineteenth century. Madam Zeman en Wages. In continuing the discussion Madam Zeman addressed herself to the theory, ad- vanced in a speech last week, that women should offer to do men’s work at less wag This was a dangerous and a false theory, said Madam Zeman. She believed ry woman is as good as every a, and when she ts doing the same work well a man she should receive the ewards. If she is not fitted for the work and cannot do it well, then she ought © get out at once and find the work for h she is fitted. When men and women don an equal footing in the busi- world the whole problem of equal suffrage will be solved. Men fail to see that if they compel women to werk for less. ses t themselves receive they are making ale sex their strongést compejitors. The reason for this is a simfpie one. The very moment that the business world fi that the same werk can be done by women at a less wage the men will be pushed to wall, The next speaker was “Miss Virgima Chanler Titcemb of New York, who said in beginning her paper that all organizations ef women work for the uplifting of man- kind, What she wanted to see most of all now was the financial freedom of the sex. Time w when we were taught that knowledge wes power. Today money power, and without it women are depend- ent and he!piess, ard can never rise to their true pesition in the world. Married women should have their individual bank accounts whenever thing should be done to widen sphere of usefulness, local unions should be formed everywhere, and Mrs, Titcomb outlined a number of ideas which he thought would prove of some value in ele- ing the sex. General Discussion, At this point in the program the ques- tion was thrown open for general discus- sion by the members of the council, and it was opened by “Miss Susan B, Anthony, ho took the ground that woman’ can never expect to have equal pay for equal werk until she has equal rights before the law, and has the ballot. Miss Miller of Chicago, a mémber of the i Association of Women Stenogra- pbers, was the next speaker. She said hat women in the business world are divided into two classes, these who talic about the conditions of labor and these york, e belonged to the -latter Before women can ever kope to have equal pay, they must have equal abilities with mea, er even more, for there is a slight prejudice against them in the world of business. What is needed in that world now is women who will stop forever talking about themselves and what they eally go to work and omeu make excellent ‘yers. They take prizes in and medical schools, but when they begin the practice of their profession they are ignored by the members of their own sex, women who go to men for their 1eeded counsel or medical advice.

The session of the council tomorrow morning will be devoted entirely to a con- sideration of important business and to the report of the executive committee. It will be a meeting behind closed doors, and the public generally will be rigidly excluded. The report of the executive committee is expected to create something of a sensa- tion, as it favors some important changes in the constitution, so far as it concerns the organization of the council. It is plan- ned to have two houses in the council for the transaction of business, an upper and a lower house. The plan of the committee involves the following amendments to the constitution: ‘The election of the general officers shall take place at a joint business session of the upper and Jower councils, only the fol- lowing named persons voting thereupon: Presidents and delegates of societies of national scope or value, presidents of state councils and presidents of local councils. The nomination shall be by informal bal- lot, and the three persons having the highest number of votes for any office shall be declared the candidates, and the will of the council shall be taken by a formal ballot. Whenever state councils and local coun- cils shall be organized under constitutions harmonious with that of the National Council, they may, by their own vote, be- come affiliated with the latter on the fol- lowirg conditions: Each such state council shall pay a triennial fee of $60, and each such local council shall pay a triennial fee of $24 into the treasury of the Na- tional Council not later than three months prior to its triennial meetings. “Any state council of women whose plan of organization accords with the ‘council idea’ may become a member of this council by its own vote and the triennial payment of $60 into the treasury of the national council not later than three months prior to its triennial meetings. Any local council of women whose plan of organization ac- ecrds with the ‘council idea’ may become a member of this council by its own vote and the triennial payment of $24 into the treasury of the national council not later than three months prior to its triennial meetings. At its public triennials the na- tional council shall sit as a body, com- posed of two parts—an upper council and a lower council. The voting members of the upper council shall be the president and delegate of each national organization; the president of each state council, and the following general officers: The president, treasurer, corresponding secretary and the first recording secretary. The voting mem- bers of the lower council shall be the dele- gates of state councils; the presidents and delegates of local councils, and the vice president-at-large and the second record- ing secretary of the natiqnal council. The president of the national council shall pre- side over the sessions of the upper house and over any joint meetings of the two ccuncils. The vice president-at-large shall rreside over the sessions of the lower coun- cil. In the event of the absence of the vice president-at-large the lower council shall elect its presiding officer. The pa- trons of the national council shall be eli- gible to sit in either the upper or lower ccuncil, as each may prefer, with power to discuss questions and to serve on all committees, but without a vote. The mem- bers of all standing committees of this council shall be eligible to the upper coun- cil, with power to discuss and serve on all committees, but withovt a’ vote.” Saturday's Session. The sezsiun of the council on Saturday afternogn was devoted to a consideration of organized work in education, in patri- otism and po! Vice President Frances ®. Bagley presided, and introduced as the first speaker Mrs. Sarah A, Stewart, vice president of the International Kindergar- ten Union of Pennsylvania. ‘The organized work of the Woman's Relief Corps Au lary to the Grand Army of the Repub was presented by the delegate, Kate Brownlee Sherwood, past national prest- dent. She said thie association led all other organizations of women in systematic business work. It was organized at Den- er in July, 1893, with about forty mem- bers. It now numbers over 140,000, in every state and territory in the Union, Cana- da and the Sand islands. Its work is wraternal, charitable and patriotic. Its membership embraces all creeds and all colors. AN loyal women are eligible to membership. It specially assists the Grand Army of the Republic and all Union Vet- ans and their dependenis; but in all pub- Nie calamities, floods, fev and drought large aid is extended through its perfect organization. Vivixection Society. Mrs. Caroline Earle White read an inter- esting repurt of the American Anti-vivisec- tion S et) It embraced a history of the origin of the crusade against vivisec- tien In this country and in Englend, and referred xratefully to the work of Dr. Bigelow and Henry Bergh against this species of cruelty. g general appeal was made for helpers in the work, which it was explained was retarded, owing to the abhorrence inspired by the subject of vivi- section. Mrs. Bagley then read the grect- ings of the International Young Women’s Chris Association of the United States and Canada to the council. The history of the National Association of Loyal American Liberty was ably pre- sented by Mrs. I. C. Manchester of Rhode Island, its president, and the session w: brought to a_cluse by an address by Mrs. Thomas W. Chace of Rhode Island, on the Woman's Republican Association of the United States. 3 Education Discussed. The discussion of the subject of education was continued. The International Kinder- garten Union had charge of the first part of the sesSion, Miss Sarah A. Stewart of Pennsylvania presiding. The kindergarten as an economic factor in education was ably treated by Virginia E. Graeff of Penn- sylvania and Jessie E, Beers of New York. Jennie B. Merriil of New York gave in an entertaining manner the result of many observations in “Child Stud: Mrs. Lucy Wheelock of Messachusetts closed the edu- cational program by spreading before her audience the details of the system _em- braced in Froebel's Psychology of Child- hood. Unrestricted Immigration. An interesting paper on the dangers of unrestricted immigration,by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, was read by Miss Susan B. An- thony, and was followed by original re- marks by Mi: y herself. Mrs. I. C. Manchester of Rhode Island, president of the National Association of Loyal Women of American Liberty, spoke on the perils of immigration. After sum- ming up the immigration situation, and presenting copious’ statistics showing its effects on the politics of this country, Mrs. Manchester concluded: “Is it just that these men who are so ignorant of the laws and customs of our land, know nothing of the principies on which our Constitution Is founded, should be vested with such a vital privilege?” : Resolutions on the death of Frederick Douglass, prepared by the committee ap- pointed for the purpose, were unanimously adopted and forwarded to his family.
