bat organized society. Whatever its form, it has Its origin in the necessities of mankind, and is indispensable for the maintenance of civilized society. It is essential to every government that it should represent the power of the State, and be capable of executing the will of its citizens. Every citizen of suitable ago and discretion, who is to be subject to such a government, has. in my judgment, a natural right to participate in its formation. The lamented Lincoln immortalized the expression that ours is a government ‘of the people, by the people, and for the people,’ and yet it is far from than There can be no government by the people where one-half of them are allowed no voice in its organization and control. I regard the struggle going on in this country and elsewhere for the enfranchisement of women as but a continuation of the great struggle for human liberty which has, from the earliest dawn of authentic history, convulsed nations, rent kingdoms, and drenehed battle-fields with human blood. I look upon the victories which have been achieved in the cause of woman's enfranchisement in Washington Territory and elsewhere as the crowning victories of all which have been won in the long continued, still-con-tinuing contest between liberty and oppression, •and as destined to exert a greater influence upon the human race than any achieved upon the battle-field in any modern times. Should this bill pass, we shall witness the fact of a government established in accordance with true principles.” CLEVELAND DUCK-SHOOTING. A White House Explanation of the PresidonVs Trip to Magnolia. Washington Special. President Cleveland is evidently very much exereised at the unfavorable comments that have been made about his going on a duckshooting trip when Secretary Manning was lying bo very low and was hardly expected to live. A semi-official explanation of the trip has been given out, presumably from the White House, which is intended to place the President's action in a different light. The Evening Star to-night publishes the following: “The truth, as obtained from an authoritative source, is as follows: There was no grand, ceremonious dinner to celebrate the President’s "visit Realizing the necessities for out-of-door exercise and rest, tbs President arranged to spend last Saturday in duck-shooting at Magnolia with two Albany friends, Judge Peckham and General Olcott, who are members of the fucking club on Gunpowder river. He was urged to do this by all about him. “When he proposed to stay home none insisted more strongly that he should take the day off uhan Mr. Manning’s family, and no one could' Bee any force in his proposal to abandon the excursion because of Mr. Manning's illness, which must itself be attributed to the very thing the President had been urged to aToid in his own :ase—a lack of exercise and recreation. The inly dinner on the occasion was the ordinary tinner of the club, which would have been eaten ♦whether he was there or not” MINOR MATTERS. Continuation of the Examination of Senator Harris by the Telephone Committee. Washington, April I.—Senator Harris’s examination was resumed to-day by the telephone committee. The witness stated that he had never referred to Mr. Garland in connection with the government’s suit. Prom the day he received Dr. Rogers's suggestion touching a government suit, without having examined the question at all, he did not believe that, with Mr. Garland at the head of the Department of Justice, Ue would have taken any action in the matter. The witness was sure he would not if he had been in Mr. Garland’s place, and he bad the same opinion of Garland as of himself. He had no sympathy with the idea of presenting any suoh question to the Attorney-general, and bad had no conversation with him upon the subject. Mr. Ranney inquired if the witness had done anything to secure Mr. Garland’s appointment as Attorney general. The witness replied that •jbe had written a letter with that object, commending Mr. Garland to the President as an able and very eminent lawyer. He had also recommended the appointment of Gen. Joseph E, Johnson to the place he now held. A Sensation Exploded. Washington, April I.—The attention of Secretary Whitney was called to a cablegram published to-day saying that the London Daily News has demanded of the British government an explanation of the statement printed in New York, khat British naval constructors and offisers are interested financially in the construction of the new vessels to be built for the Amerisau navy, aud that the News bases its demand upon the statement in a New York paper that these vessels will be designed by a syndicate of which Sir Nathaniel Barnaby, ex chief constructor of the British navy, Mr. White, present chief constructor, and the firm of Wm. Arm strong and Cos., are the principal members. The Secretary said there was no truth in this statement, and added that he knew of no foundation for any such tory, except the fact that he has, from time to time, collected information regarding model vessels, and this has included certain :-lans obtained from Sir Wm. Armstrong. ‘‘Mr. Yhite,” continued he, “was the naval construct- ■ <* of that firm before becoming the director of ival architecture of the British admiralty, •> :ich position he now holds.” Sir Nathaniel v srnaby has not been and is in no way con•c:ed with the designs or construction of the jssels, which are in the hands of a board of our aaval officers.

Watson, Kearney, Neb. Thought Ho Was a Quaker Door-Keeper. Washington Special. Seeing Senator Chace, the Quaker gentleman from Rhode Island, in pleasant conference with Mr. Voorhees, this afternoon, recalled an incident that marked the former’s recent advent into tho upper chamber. He had been sworn in during Mr. Voorhees’s absence, and he had not met the new Senator. A few days after the beginning of the session the Tall Sycamore indulged in one of his propensities to speak, and the manner and material of the address pleased the new-comer greatly. He approached V’oorhees and said: “I thank thee, friend Daniel, for the speech thee has just xn;wie." J Senator Voorhees dared at the speaker a rnomopt and asked: “Who are you, anyhow? If they've appointed a Quaker door-keeper, will bo to p*3'.’’ Senator Chaco tells this occasionally himself. The two men are the best of friends now. Land Trespassers To Be Prosecuted.

Collecting Peach Disease Statistics. Washington Special. The Department.©! Agriculture is preparing a circular to correspondents, in which it calls special attention to their treatment of reports on tbe peach crop. The deadly disease known as “yellows,” for which no cure has been found, and for which the immediate destruction of trees is the only remedy, has. it is stated, placed a ban on peach growing in certain localities. The department is anxious to show this geographical distribution of peach-growing regions. The “yellows” is defined as a multitudinous growth of slender wiry shoots on the main stem, having small, narrow, yellowish leaves, and tbe premature ripening of the fruit. When first attacked, the fruit may nearly approach normal size, each year becoming smaller, the surface more or less spotted. Condition of the Public Debt.

Special to the Irdiauapolis Journal. Lafayette, Ind., April 1. —ln conversation with a gentleman from this city, who was at St. Louis last evening, Orth Stein, the missing proprietor of the Comet, acknowledged that he had used his mother’s fortune, but claims it was all used in the legitimate expenses of his paper. A hasty estimate of the running expenses of the paper shows about $4,800 expense and S7OO receipts for tbe issue of twenty-four numbers—a clean loss of $4,100. Stein’s shortage, as estimated to day, will reach about SO,OOO. The Comet will be sold by Mrs. Stein’s attorney to-morrow, at private sale. Orth Stein is now at work for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. An Associated Press telegram from St. Louis says: “The statement sent from Lafayette, Ind., last night in a special dispatch to the Chicago News and circulated through tho Associated Press, reporting that Orth Stein, a journalist, was missing from that city; that he had drawn large sums of money belonging to his mother from local banks, and tnat he had lost heavily by gambling, is flatly contradicted by the gentleman, who is in this city and is employed on the Globe-Democrat. Mr. Stein says: *• ‘The statement is untrue in every particular. My mother and I lost considerable money in a newspaper venture, and 1 came to St. Louis to work at my profession.

Edward Carleton’s Marriage Certificates. INDIANA. A Greencastle Man Commits Suicide In Harrison County, Missouri. Special to the Indianapo’is Journal. Greencastle, April I.—On last Saturday Mr. Tipton Foxworthy, of this city, received intelligence of the death of his son, William L. Foxworthy, in Harrison county, Missouri, by suicide. Mr. Foxwortby left at once for that place, and, as he has not returned or written, it is not possible to obtain the particulars of the tragedy, other than that the deceased cut his throat with a knife or razor. Young Fox worthy was twentyssix years of age, and was teaching school in Harrison county. He had just closed a successful term, and in the absence of farther information no cause for the deed can be imagined by his friends here. His remains were buried at the. place of his death on Tuesday, with Masonic honors. Fatal Shooting; at Madison, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Madison, April I.—An altercation occurred at 7:30 o’clock this evening, on Walnut street, between Charles J.

Treasurer Weir states that he will not receive city orders for taxes until ordered to do so by the courts. Samuel Mead, better known as Robertson, a well-known New Albany character, has been arrested, charged with forging the name of S. S. Stalcup, a New Albany merchant, to au order on Bamberger, Bloom & Cos., of Louisville, for jewelry. At Lafayette, Wednesday night, the Mascottes defeated the Chicagos in a game of polo, .by a score of 3to 2. Last night the Chicagos defeated the Mascottes by a score of 3to 1. The Mascottes will play at Racine. Wis., to-night and to-morrow night. At a called meeting of the officers and directors of the Warren Tri-county Agricultural Society, on Wednesday, it was decided to change the time of holding the fair to Sept. 7,8, 9 and 10. This was done to accommodate other neighboring societies and avoid conflictions. Eddie, the ten-year-old son of Wm. Tabler, of Ijarasville, Wabash county, while seated upon a wagon-load of wood, fell to the ground, the wheels of the vehicle passing over hij chest, fracturing three ribs and inflicting otbqkinternal injuries which it is thought will prov^atal.

Prior to the attack be was apparently in good health. Yesterday he was resting easy, and i3 greatly improved. ILLINOIS. Complications Growing Ont of the Conduct of “Rev. Edward Carleton.” Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Mattoon, April I.—The Shelby county couples who have been married by “Rev. Edward Carleton” are now seeking legal advice on the question of whether the knot was legally tied or not, since by his confession and proof of record it is made plain that the real name of this man is Jonathan Edwards Bell. He has nothing to show legal authority for signing the name Carleton to marriage certificates or other documents intended to be legal Having been refused permission to preach in the Presbyterian Church at Shelbyville, “Rev. Carleton” was taken into full fellowship by the members of the Christian Church city last Sunday, and one of the most prominent families of the church arose and walked out when the invitation to extend the right hand of fellowship was given. Even before entering this congregation he has made a good beginning at dividing it. He will probably be elected elder. The grand jury will probably call upon him to explain why he signs the name Carleton to marriaf-3 certificates instead of his legal name, Bell. Two days previous to the date of “Carleton’s” partial confession, he said he would suffer his right hand to be cut off, and let his life blood ebb out drop by drop rather than tell the secret of his life, but it was already known to the session of the Presbyterian Church of that city, and, learning this fact next day, “Carleton” made unceremonious haste to issue dodgers announcing that he would confess next night. In the Christian Church, each congregation elects its own elder, and tbe decision is final, hence they can accept such a man without any fear of interference on the part of higher church authority. Brief Mention. John Pippin, a hotel runner at Vandalia, was struck by a train And instantly killed. It was probably a case of suicide. The Hon. Alexander Starne, a well-known citizen of Springfield, expired Wednesday morning, in the eighty-fourth year of his age. George W.

Niles Wheeler, editor of the Geneva Patriot, arrested, on complaint of State Senator Ruger, on a charge of criminal libel, gave bail in the sum of SSOO. William O'Brian, sixty years old, of Salem, was accidentally shot by William Michael while the two were duck hunting. He was shot in the leg, and died from loss of blood. Julius Sellinger, of Peoria, working in a roll-ing-mill, became suddenly deranged and running through the street naked, except his shirt, tried to drown himself in the canal He was arrested. The Illinois branch of the Woman's Board of Missions of the Interior began at Peoria on Wednesday its ninth annual meeting, with a large attendance of delegates. The president, Mrs. C. H. Case, of Chicago, occupied the chair, and reports received indicated a year of progress, though the success of the Chicago association.was not what it should have been. THE SOUTHERN FLOODS. The Damage Greater Than First ReportedRailway Business Still Greatly Impeded. * Birmingham, Ala., April I. Specials from the river towns of north Alabama show that the effects of the freshet are worse even than telegraphed [[yesterday. Gadsden reports the Coosa river at the highest mark and still rising. All the railroad bridges on the branch road between Attalla and Gadsden are swept away, and a number of washouts on the Alabama Great Southern are reported on both sides of Attalla. The Tennessee river is reported out of its banks at several points. From the Tuscaloosa and Warrior the advices are serious, though it is believed the worst, has passed. Many houses on either side of the river have been abandoned, and the water is running through the doors and windows. Some families occupy the upper stories of the dwellings and skiffs, and flat-boats are used for transportation. The village of Northport, across the river, is almost submerged now, and the iron bridge connecting the two places is under water at both ends, and fears are entertained for its safety. The water is a foot deep in the Tuscaloosa cotton factory. Richmond, Va., April I.—The James river at this point has been rising all day, and at 9 P. M. all that portion known as Rockets was submerged. The water has also invaded the streets above the old market between Fifteenth and Eighteenth streets, cutting off communication between the upper and lower parts of the city, except by boats or by going a long distance round toward the north. The street cars run only as far as the St. Peter’s Hr.tel. The water is still rising at the rate of six inches per hour, and it is expected that it will continue to do so until 4or 5 o’clock to-morrow morning. The precautions taken by people in the threatened districts will’keep the damage at comparatively small figures. From present indications this flood will surpass those of 1870 and 1877. A portion of the gas-works is submerged, and it is believed that the gas supply will be cut off before the night is over. No trains have run on the Lynchburg road since yesterday. Dispatches from Clifton Forge and other points above Lynchburg state the water is falling rapidly. Chattanooga, Tenn., April I.—To-night, at 8 o’clock, the Tennessee river at this point marks forty-eight feet three inches on the gauge, and is rising at the rate of two inches per hour. It will reach its climax to-morrow. No actual damage has yet occurred here, but several hundred families have been forced to move from the low lands. The greatest inconvenience is from the total stoppage of traina Only one train has entered the city since Monday night. It was forty-eight hours on the road, and brought in two hundred passengers, many of whom had been on- the road since Monday. It is not thought that any train will leave or enter the city before Sunday. A special to the Times from Gadsden says that the entire country has been devastated by the floods, and that the county will be a sufferer for many thousands of dollars. The freshet this city is experiencing is due to the most extraordinary rain-fail ever known here. All the mills in the city, except two or three, are closed down to-day. Charleston, W. Va., Anril I.—Heavy rains the past three days raised the Kanawha and Elk rivers to thirty-eight feet, and they are still rising. Only a few railroad trains are running, and at 9 o’clock matters look gloomy, at least one-half of this city is under water, and many dwellings occupied by poor people are submerged. The Western Union wires are under water from here to Point Pleasant, sixty miles. New river is reported falling at Hinton at the rate of four inches an hour, but the Kanawha is rising here at the rate of five inches per hour. Montgomery, Ala., April I.—The river ceased to rise about noon, after reaching the highest point ever known. One thousand people, mostly colored, had to leave their homes. Rumors of persons clinging to roofs of houses come from along the river, and rescue parties with boats have been bringing in sufferers all day. The river has fallen slightly. High Water in the Ohio. Cincinnati, April I.—Dispatches from the upper river points indicate a pretty high stage of water here this week. At present, it is not thought it will rise above fifty-five feet here, which will cause little or no damage. Further rain may alter circumstances. This evening the gauge marks 4G feet 2 inches, and rising two inches per hour. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. A White Star Steamer Breaks a Shaft and Is . Compelled to Return to Liverpool. Queenstown, April I.—The White Star line steamer Britannic, which sailed hence March 26 for New York, arrived off Browhead at 6:40 o'clock this morning. Her forward crank shaft is broken and she is returning to Queenstown. She will land some of her passengers and mails, including the mails for Australia at Rochepoint, at the entrance to this harbor. Assistance has been sent to her. The steamer Adriatic, which, leaves Queenstown to-morrow for New York, will take the Britannic’s mails. The Britannic has proceeded to Liverpool. The accident occurred at 4 o'clock Monday morning, when the Britannic was 150 miles west of Fastnet She returned under canvas and with one engine working. The Britannic reached Queenstown at 1 o’clock this afternoon. All on board were well. The disabled steamer is due in the Mersey on to-morrow morning's tide. The Britannic will sail again from Liverpool on April 5. The snapping of the shaft caused only a slight shock. The passengers betrayed no excitement. The sails were promptly set, and the vessel was headed for home. Fortunately the wind was fair, and the Britannic, notwithstanding her disabled condition, made nme knots an hour on her homeward trip. Steamship Arrivals. New York, April L— Arrived: Wisconsin, from Liverpool. Southampton, April I.—Arrived: Gms, from New York, for Bremen. London, April 1. —Arrived: Belgenland, from New York for Antwerp. Mr. Mackey and the P., D. & E. Railway. Evansville, April I.—A special to the Journal announces that President D. .T. Mackey, of the Evansville & Terre Haute and the Evansville & Vincennes railways, who is now in New York, has been elected general manager of the Peoria. Decatur <fc Evansville railway, 254 miles in length. It is understood that Mr. Mackey and his associates have obtained control of a majority of the stock. This will transfer the management of the road from Peoria to this point

THE STRIKE MUST CONTINUE [Concluded from First Pace,] if by that time trains could not be moved without interference, they would take the matter into their own hands. ISad Faith of the .Strikers. East St. Loots, April I.—While arrangements were being made at the railway depot for this meeting, a far different scene was being enacted upon one of the ferry wharves. A St. Louis coal dealer, relying upon the promisa of the strikers that efforts by teamsters to raise the coal blockade would not be interfered with, had sent a number of men with their teams to transfer fuel from this side of the river. Several strikers, however, made an attack upon the men to prevent them from loading the wagons. The teamsters resisted and a general fight ensued. Knives were drawn, and it looked as if serious results would follow, but at the appearance of several United States deputy marshals the strikers fled without having received or inflicted any very severe injury. The teamsters returned to St. Louis without coal, fearing further violence from the strikers. RIOTING AT FORT WORTH. The Town in the Hands of a Mob—The Strikers Hungry and Bloodthirsty. Fort Worth, Tex., April I.—Fort Worth is in the hands of|a mob. The citizens’ possee, summoned by the sheriff to assemble this morning at the Missouri Pacific yards, met, some 300 strong, according to orders. About 400 strikers, armed, desperate, and ready for blood shed, were on the scene. Fifty wellarmed officers were also on hand. A freight tram was made up, and a Missouri Pacific engine came along to pull out the train. A grand rush was made by the strikers for the engine. Arms were presented on both sides. The engine was not molested, but all the cars were uncoupled, and even the nuts were taken out of the drawheads. Some of the Knights were arrested, and the engine sent back to the roundhouse, and all attempts to move trains were abandoned. The citizens lacked organization. They had no leader, while every man in the ranks of the strikers was a leader. Mayor Smith addressed the mob, but the strikers cried, “Rats! No more Peter Smith for mayor, again.” The sheriff is summoning citizens to go armed tomorrow to the Missouri Pacific yards. The strikers’ places are all filled here. They are hungry and bloodthirsty. The most conservative citizens anticipate great trouble in restoring law and order. _ MILITIA, ORDERED OUT. Three Companies of Kansas Troops Ordered to Parsous to Assist in Moving Trains. Topeka, Kan., April 1. —Governor Martin received a dispatch to-night from State Adjutantgeneral Campbell, at Parsons, Kan., saying that the mob was seemingly in the ascendency there, and he could not start the trains without aid. The Governor thereupon authorized the calling out of the First Regiment, State militia, Col. Patrick, or as much of it as may be needed, to-morrow morning, and telegraphed General Carroll, at Paoli, to go to Parsons and take command. It is expected that the Ottawa and Gurnett companies, and probably another, will be sent to the scene in the mornine. A Parsons dispatch says that fifteen hundred people gathered this morning to witness what was expected to be the last attempt to start trains before resorting to military assistance. A wrecking train was made up first to clear the track of wreck caused by the strikers, and it was allowed to start. When a freight train bad been made up, however, the strikers promptly seized the engine and killed it No further movement was made, and to-night Adjutant general Campbell requested the Governor to order out the militia. Gov. Oglesby Urged to Call Out Troops. St. Louis, April I.—About noon to-day several representative members of the Merchants’Exchange, headed by Mr. D. R. Francis, mayor of the city, called upon Governor Oglesby at the Martell House, in East St Lonis. Speeches were made setting forth the situation—the delay to commerce, the injury to the city, the lawless acts of the strikers, etc. —and urging upon him the necessity for calling out the militia, at once, to restore order and effect the resumption of traffic. The Governor greatly regretted the situation of affairs, but did not feel authorized to take more forcible measures at present. If, however, he should be actually obliged to bring soldiers here, they would come for active service and resolute work—there would be no nonsense nor child’s play about it. _ THE TEXAS PACIFIC.

It caught him at Big Springs, whence the following was sent last night: “Martin Irons, St. Louis: “We cannot set all the strikers to work, as we have employed large numbers of men in their places who came to our assistance in tima of need, and to discharge them and give place to those who carelessly put us in a condition of great need, would be the height of ingratitude and injustice. The discharge of Hall is the only grievance made known to the receivers and the only information possessed by them as to what the claims are. The facts in his case had been detailed by the newspapers since the strike commenced. One of his friends has informed me that he has concluded to appeal to the court for redress. It is the proper arbitrator in such eases, and will do exact and even justice to all. It is the mode of arbitration provided by law, and the practice of appeal thereto is not without precedent. L.
