THE TREASURER'S INTERESTING REPORT Mr. Catt Tells of the Work Done! in Utah. OTHER SPEECHES MADE oe The second day’s session of the woman suffrage convention began this morning a little after 10 o'clock. The Church of Our Father was well filled with delegates when Miss Anthony rapped for‘ order with a brand-new silver-mounted gavel, an ap- propriate gift to the president from a Colorado delegate. = After the reading of the minutes Miss Laura Clay of Kentucky led in an eloquent invocation, asking a divine blessing on the labers of the association during the day. Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, the recording secretary of the association, read aloud the letter which accompanied the president's new gavel, from Mrs. Minnie Henderson of Grand Junction, Col. The gavel is made of the choicest Colorado wood, and tipped with Colorado silver. The first business of the morning was the report of the committee on entertainments, and in the absence of the chairman, Mrs. C. Holt Flint of Des Moines, a letter from her was read by Mrs. Emma Smith DeVoe. Letters of Fraternal Greeting. Miss Blackwell read a number of letters of fraternal greeting, among them one from Mrs. Carrie Clyde Holly, a member of the state legislature of Colorado. When the recording secretary announced that the letter was on paper bearing as a headline the merce “House of Representatives, Den- Col.,” ver, her statement was received Susan B. Anthony. with a liberal meed of applause. A letter was also read from Mrs. Maude Harris of St. Louis, urging that Miss Anthony and Miss Frances E. Willard make plans to come to St. Louis during the time of the republican national convention, and plead the cause of women before that important bedy. Mrs. Catherine E. Hurst of Loulsville, Ky., was introduced as a fraternal dele- gate from the Ladies of the G. A. R., and read an address to the convention. The Cuban Question. Miss Anthony read a letter from Senator Call, introducing a Cuban, Mr. Aguinar, who, the Senator said, was anxious to secure a resolution of sympathy for the Cuban insurgents from this convention. Miss Anthony, as usual, avoided the dan- ger of committing the association to any- thing besides woman suffrage. She stated that the letter would be referred to the committee on resolutions to take such ac- tion as it might see fit. “Still,” said Miss Anthony, “we women know how to sympathize with these Ct bans, for we know what it is to be de- prived of our political rights. We women know what I{t is to pay taxes without hav- ing any sort of representation. On real es- tate, as a rule, we pay a fourth or a third more than men would pay on the same property.” Mrs. Lillian M. Hollister, representing tke Supreme High Council of the Maccabees of the World, and Mrs. Henrietta Keyser of the Political Study Club of New York were introduced, and made fraternal addresses. Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson of Califor- nia spoke briefly of the Woman's Congress Association of the Pacific Slope, which was referred to at some length by Rev. Anna Howard Shaw in her address as vice presi- dent yesterday. It is now a permanent association, planning to hold a week’s con- gress once a year to discuss some subject of vital importance to women. Last year it was “The Home.” This coming May it is “Woman in Political Life,” and seventy carefully prepared papers are to be pre- sented. The Trensurer’s Report. Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, the treasurer of the Suffrage Association, and one of the most charming women interested in its work, then read her annual report. ‘The amount of money which the treasurer handled in the year "05 was nearly twice as much as the year "04, and more than was ever handled by a national treasurer in any one year. This year all money belonging to the different committees was disbursed by the national treasurer. In the year '83 twenty-seven states did not pay their dues until after the time of closing the books; in "84 twenty-eight were -lelinquent; in the year "95> twenty-six, and in ‘4 only seven states. New York has steadily increased in mem- bership, and for the last three years has paid the largest auxiliary fee and also con- tributed the largest amount of money for the various departments, Utah standing second until this year, when Massach setts passed her. Mrs. Upton illustrated her treasurer’s re- port by means of a blackboard, upon which she showed the rise and fall of dues from states, the amount of money recetved from and disbursed for standing committees, and showed the amount of money’ absolutely necessary for the current expenses*of the organization, aside from its standing com- mittees, to be about $2,500. The association this year starts in with clean accounts and all its bills paid. Finarcially, the outlook is even more promising. At the conclusion of Mrs. Upton’s report she was given a rising vote of thanks for her efficient labors during the year and for her carefully prepared paper, which contained a number of valuable sugges- tions for future work. Mr. George W. Catt of New York was then introduced to deliver an address on May Stocking Kna the subject “Utah's Victory the Result of nization; Its Lesson.” In introducing Mr. Catt Miss Anthony referred to him as’ “the husband of our See al- organizer, Mrs. Carrie Chapman tt."* “I remember once,” sald Miss Anthony, “a man who had just met my father asked him if he was the father of Susan . “There was a time, Susan,’ said my father, ‘when a daughter might shine by reflected light from her father, but things seem ‘to have changed considerably.” “So, now,” continued Miss Anthony, “a man may be famous as the husband of a eo THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP. iP mh EAR Mes HF Hh ri [ Reser i a ( ! sia (i pari Ottear © Partly Cloud © Cloudy EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at $ a.m., 75th meridian time.

Catt.” The Victory in Utah. The paper on Utah's victory was accom- panied by a number of carefully compiled tables, showing the condition of suffrage organizaticns in the various states of the Union. Summing up Mr. Catt said: “Can we ascertain the cause of the Utah victory? . If we can, what lesson does it teach? The answer to these two questions is the task I have set for myself. Harriet Taylor Upton. Zt is a trite saying that in modern civil- {zation public opinion rules, and that this is especially true in the United States. Public opinion ruled in Utah in engrafting liberty in its constitution. It was not public opinion alone, but organized public opinton which carried them to victory. It may not be understood by this convention that the suffrage organization of Utah was nineteen times larger than the organiza- tion in New York, when considered in com- parison with population. Behind every delegate in the Utah constitutional conven- tion there was an organized constituency demanding suffrage for women and men ike. : alMvnen any other state in the whole Union can show as much suffrage sentli- ment, and active suffrag@ force, based on organization, as was shown in Utah, lib- erty will be easily won in that state, as it was on November 5, 1895, in Utah. “Utah had ten times greater suffrage organization than any other state. That 1s to say, Utah, with a white population of 206,000, had 1,050 organized suffragists, or 506 organized suffragists for every 100,-- 000 of her white population. New York, with a white population of 6,000,000, had only 1,600 organized suffragists, or only 27 organized suffragists to each 100,000 of her white population. “The only fair way to judge of suffrage sentiment and organization is on the basis of population. Because New York pays the largest amount in dues, it does not follow that she is the best organized state. The dues paid must be taken only in compari- son with the population. “Utah was twelve times as well organ- ized as Massachusetts, fourteen times as well organized as Iowa, nineteen times as well organized as New York, and this fact alone would indicate why the New York campaign did not win. If Other States Did as Well. “To emphasize, if New York was as well organized as Utah she would have 80,000 enrolled members, an average of 500 for each county. New York city would have 7,500 and Brooklyn 5,000. The annual dues of New York to the National American Woman Suffrage Association would be $8,000. Does any one believe that if 30,000 active, organized workers had besieged an Albany convention as the constituents of the members of that convention they would have been sent away empty-handed? “Tf Iowa was as well organized as Utah her state treasurer would account for $10,- 000 in annual dues, and would pay the sum of $1,000 to the National American Woman Suffrage Association. There would be 100 members in each county in the state. The little city of Des Moines would have a club as large as the famed Four Hundred Club of Philadelphia, and Philadelphia would have 5,500 to respond to her hugle call. “Virginia has been a member of the Na- American Woman Suffrage Asso- ciation for three years; at present she pays dues on a membership of sx, or an aver- age gain of two per year. If Virginia ped begun her organization at the first sun! << the world ever saw, when the light was divided from the darkness (kccording to the Hebrews, 6,000 years ago), and had kept up the rate she has thus far attained, she would yet, at the end of the nineteenth century, be behind Utah !n organization. Take the Utah case*from whatever view we may, the fact remains that there was comparatively a very large and powerful suffrage organization. It. may be claimed that It was not an ideal organization in its method and system, but it cannot be denied that there was a large comparative force that was not only willing to stand up and be counted, but It was willing to be taxed for the system. “It may be claimed that so large a relative crganization as Utah had cannot be estab- lished in other states. In contravention of this I cite Chautauqua county, New York, which had at one time a paid membership of 000, or more than the average necessary to each county in New York, to make its organization as iarge in proportion as that of Utah. More, true to expectations, the members of the legislature or constitution- al conventions who hal!’ from Chautauqua county invariably act In accordance with the instructions of this organized con- stituency, and can he relied upon to vote for any bill favoring the advancement of wen Gallt “In California and Idaho, where amend- ™ments are now pending, the best use pos- ibis should be made of the existing condi- “In the future the National American Woman Suffrage Association should say to every state: ‘We will help you to organize, but you must not invite us to defeat. In your present condition you are practically foredoomed to*failure. It Utah teaches us anything, it teaches us that no state should submit an amendment until it has at least as large a suffrage organization as she had. That is to say, not less than 500 organized suffragists to each 100,000 of the white popu- “It may be said this is not a hopeful view to take of the situation. On the contrary, it is the only hopeful view. Great revol tions do not grow in a moment. This is the greatest revolution the world has ever seen. Its consummation will be attained the earlier if we square our actions with experi- ence, and keep the whole movement in har- mony with existing facts. every state had as large a proporti of organized suffragists as Stan, the Nae tional American Woman Suffrage Associa- tion would have an enrollment of 270,000 members. The several state treasurers would recelve $270,000 in annual dues; of this sum $27,000 would be paid to the Na- tional American Woman Suffrage Associa- ‘The Utah victory was won by organiza- tion. The message that Utah sends to her sister states is: ‘Increase and perfect your organization.’ The banner of victory which Utah unfurls to the breeze bears this de- vice: ‘Organize and Win.’ ”” At the conclusion of Mfi'Catt’s paper Mrs. Catt was called for, and Miss Anthon: introduced her as “the rer Mr. Catt.” She was asked whethey ,there was any accurate compilation of all ring to women in the different states. She stated that there was motisuch work at present, but that an effert is now being made to have such a compilation prepared, and that it might possibly be out by March. This Evening’s; Program.

Just before the opening of the morning session to¢ay there was a pléjsant inter- change of compliments betweeh Miss An- thony and her old friends, the newspaper reporters. For years Miss Anthony has worn a red silk shawl, which has become almost a familiar an object a8 her snow- white hair or gold-bowed spectacles. “Boys,” said “Aunt Susan,” as the mem- e laws refer- bers of the association love to call her, as she stepped to the front of the platform, “I want to call your attention to the fact that I have just received a handsome pres- ent,” and she pointed to a dainty white sk crocheted shawl. “Now, Miss Anthony, that’s rank her- esy,” said one young man, who has written about the association and its president for the past six years. “Will the proceedings of this convention be in order if you make such a radical departure?” = “No red shawl, no reports,” said the re- porters, young women and men both. “Very well, then,” said Miss Anthony, as- suming a look of mock disappointment, “I am afraid I'll have to give up my new shawl.” But later in the morning Miss Anthony. put on her new shawl, which would seem to show that even such a veteran suffragist as Miss Anthony may have still a tinge of vanity in her system. Miss Anthony’s Annual Address. Miss Susan B. Anthony, the famous suf- fragist and successor to Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton as the president of the Na- tional American Woman Suffrage Asso- ciation, delivered her annual address at the-session of the convention last evening. It was mainly a historical review of the attempts made years ago to have the word “male” eliminated from the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, which vould have the right of suffrage open to beth sexes. Miss Anthony described again in an entertaining manner the time when she tried to vote in Rochester and was put on trial for-the offense. She was fined $100, but refused to pay it, and has never yet becn imprisoned in default of payment. Speaking of the present convention, she said: “We have never had £0 great a repre- sentation as have this week arrived in Washington. This is the twenty-eighth suf- frage convention held in Washington in the last quarter of a century. The suffrag- ists first thought to come to Washington during the reconstruction days. They en- deavored to have the fourteenth amendment not only give the right of suffrage to every, male citizen, but to every female citizen as well, but they failed of success.” There are two ways, she said, by which they could best work to secure that which they were striving for. One is the popular method, which means that the local organ- izations of the different states must pre- vail upon their respective legislatures to give them such legislation as will give them their rights. The other is the nation- al method, which contemplates an attack vpon Congress, and Miss Anthony explain- ed just how it would be done. It is the na- tionai method that has brought co many delegates to the capital city from all parts of the United States. Philosophy of Woman Suffrage. “The Philosophy of Woman Suffrage’ was the subject of a carefully prepared paper by Mrs. Clara B. Colby of this city. She divided her subject into three subdi- visious, the harmony of woman suffrage with the evolution of the race, with the evolution of nature, and with the evolution of woman herself. The development of government and the substitution of rule of reason for rule of rorce, the mastery of the brain over physical force were best. in- dicated in the advance in the conditiof of mankind, and this advance had advanced woman as far as it had taken man. It was her opinion, she said, that the founders of the republic had foreseen the questior. which today forced itseli upon the consideration of all men. Mrs. Colby said, in conclusion: “With a firm belief that the whole crea- tion is moving on under the operation of beneficent and immovable laws of social evolution, we know that there is to be that recognition of the value of the fem- inine nature which shall extend to woman the fullest freedom which is to mark her development in the government of the state. The woman suffrage movement will eventually be seen to have been not revo- lutionary, but evolutionary, the orderly marshaling of the forces of progress. Miss Julie R. Jenney, recently admitted to the bar in Syracuse, N. Y., spoke on “The Law and the Ballot in Relation to Woman.” Miss Jenney explaned the real attitude of woman in the courts of law, and advo- cated such changes as women have gen- erally demanded. Between Daybreak and Sunrise. Mrs. May®Stocking Knaggs of Michigan delivered an address on the subject “Be- tween Daybreak and .Sunrise,” saying, among other things: “Today the world is awaking. Self-government for woman is an accomplished fact in three states of our great republic. The sense of humanity is astir. The doctrine is daily gaining ground that the world needs the co-operative and co-ordinate work of man and woman. “We stand here tonight to avow our faith in the ultimate application of the principles of republican government. We belive that each human being is whole, single and responsible; that each human unit is concerned in the social compact which is formed to protect individual and mutual rights. “Over how large a part of the world has woman been given a measure of freedom and no evil thing has happened, but much good! Home ties are cemented, not loosened. Children are better bora, not neglected. Social evils are controlled or eliminated, not increased. Public ordar and prosperity are promoted, not overthrown. “In proportion to our »elief in the right- eousness of our cause, 80 ought our faith to be. If we are harnesse¢ in with the eternal forces of right, we have nothing to fear.” Miss Charlotte Perkins Stetson of Call- fornia read three of her own poems on subjects particularly interesting to women, and shortly after the session adjourned. Next Tuesday twenty delegai2s from the suffrage convention will appear before the judiciary committee of the United States Senate and ask that the states be pro- hibited from disfranchising women, ard a like number will appear before a commit- tee from the House and ask for the pass- age of the sixteenth amendment +o the Constitution. Notes of the Convention, A striking figure of the National Ameri- can Woman Suffrage Association is Miss Laura Adelia Gregg of Kansas, one of the national lecturers. Miss Gregg is a petite brunette of almost Quaker quietness of marrer, the daughter of a farmer who lives near Garnett. She is just out of her teens, and of thoughtful, studious nature, and a newspaper woman. She is said to be one of the most forceful speakers and best organizers in the field, and has achieved some distinction as a lecturer. Miss Gregg is now organizing clubs in Oklahoma. “What Is the relation of big sleeves to woman’s suffrage?” asked a cynical man who doesn’t believe in either. If he would attend the convention in the Church of Our Father he would find that the relation is very close indeed. Most of the women in attendance are stylishly and handsomely gowned. Even Miss Anthony has a hand- some black silk gown, with big sleeves of the most approved pattern. Miss Anthony is always well gowned, however, and has some lovely old lace, which she wears with an air. Lace is nothing, you know, unless you have the manvers of a gentlewoman, and that Miss Anthony has in every line of her energetic body and fine, high-bred face, a face that in profile is as clean cut as a Greek cameo, except that the lips are a trifle thin and tense. Miss Janney of Syracuse, N. Y.,who spoke last evening on the property rights of wo- men, is young and talented, but, as they say so frequently up at the Capitol, “soph- omoric.” She is a recent graduate in law and has just been admitted to practice in the empire state. She was becomingly gowned in gray last evening, with all the fripperies that advanced women are sup- posed to have given up very much in evi- dence, and her white gloves were perfectly new. Miss Anthony says she is a splendid agi- tator, but not an organizer, and when they begin to talk of organization she goes down into the audience and is one of the most interested of spectators and listeners. The new badge of the Suffrage Associa- ticn, as is now designed, is a sunflower pendant from a bar pin.’ On the pin are the letters “N. A. W. 8. A.,” which stands for the tftle “‘National-American Woman's Suffrage Association.” In the heart of the sunflower is the date, “188,” the time when the agitation began in earnest for the enfranchisement of women. ‘The association has some new stationery. It has a conventional sunflower on one cor- ner, and the full name of the organization, and may be had in blue, white, or the na- tional color, yellow. There are envelopes to match, and it is very neat, indeed. Mrs. Laura M. Johns of Kansas is one of the striking looking women of the conven- tion. She is slender and dark, and has a Gelicate high-bred face, surrounded by masses of almost white hair. Being of French extraction, Mrs. Johns has all the vivacity of her ancestors, and the push and energy of the western woman, ‘The association has been the recipient of a handsome gift in the last week. Mrs. Doiner of Madison, Wis., who recently died, left the association $1,000 as a memen- to of her love for it. The only man, excepting Mr. Blackwell, the husband of the late Lucy Stone Black- well, who ever appeared on the suffrage platform, got there this morning with both | DIVIDEND NOTICE.—AT A MEETING board of directors.
