nature of whose work is satisfactory to the ex ecutive committee. either as to its undoubtedly rational character-of national value, may beeom an auxiliary to this council by its own vote and by the payment of a sum amounting to half i cent yearly per member into the treaxury in addition to a biennial payment of $25. ' The national councils shall hold triennial meetings. The committee on arrangements shall be compored of the executive committee and one dele gate chosen by each auxiliary society as its representative. The committee on organization recommend, first, that the general ofScerrof the national council be instructed to issue an addrf s at once to the women of the United States setting forth the objects of this new organization, and that the general officers of the international council issue a similar address to the women of the world. Second, that the general officers of each association secure, if possible, a letter of approval of the organization signed by representative women of all countries, urging the co-operation, of all women, irrespective of race or creed, to be used in connection with the official al dress. A permanent organization for an international eonncil of women was also agreed upon, and the constitution of the National Council was adopted for the international organization, with such changes as were neeessary to adapt it to ite broader scope. Tbe evening session was devoted to the discussion of "Political Conditions." Miss Helen H. Gardner read a paper on 'Sex in Tram." and Miss Clara Nyman read a paper . on "Sen tirnental'.sm in Politics." Madame Zadel B. Gustafeon, of Sweden, made an interesting address in regard to the disfranchisement of women, laying particular stress on the necessity of prohibition, and was followed by Sirs. Ash ton Dilke, of the Women's Liberal Association of England, who gave an account of the political situation in that country. L.at Day of the Council. Washing-tow, April L An invocation by Mrs. Jonn P. Newman and the singing of a .hymn ny the entire audience opened tbe afternoon exercises of the International Council of . Women to-day. Matilda Joslyn Gage spoke on women in the early cburcb, and was followed by the Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell, whose text was "Science and Religious Truth." Addresses were also made by Elizabeth Boynton .Harbert and Isabella Beecher Hooker. The latter stated her faith as that of a Christian spiritualist, and her creed, briefly, as believing, first, in tLe first great cause the Creator; secondly, that the pains of the life to come are to be abbreviated or lengthened according to the deeds done in the body. In her plan of salvation she took in Jew, Christian, pagan and gentile alike. Addresses by Edn&h Scheoy and Miss Frances Willard and tbe singing of a hymn closed the afternoon exercises. Theeveains and closing session of the council was opened with prayer by Mary H. Hunt, of Boston, and a hymn, set to the tune of "Benin lid Land." Madam Botelet, the French delegate, read a brief letter expressing her pleasure at having attended tbe council. Madam Bogelet said that it was the first time she had ever spoken in English. Her paper before the Council was read in French. She was succeeded by Miss Allie Trigg, of Finland, the companion f the Baroness Gripenberg, and Mrs. Grotb, of Norwav. who made their adieus to the audience. Miss Anthony then announced that Mrs. Olivia Briggs had given a square of ground known as Maple Square, for the foundation of an institution for the highest spiritual, mora), industrial and political education of cnrls. Zerelda Wallace, tbe mother of " Gen. Lew Wallace, made an address. She said: "Hu manity is king; woman is one-balf tbe great wbole, and she lies at tbe base of all human progress. We are to day the richest nation by many nundreds or tbousanus or dollars." Mrs. Wallace argued that if God is forgotten, a na tion is sure to die. Mrs. Stanton made the closing address. She said that the council bad been a success, and naa proven mat women are ready for con certed action. She complimented the sneakers. and said she baa always looked forward to go ing to the kingdom of heaven enfranchised and introducing herself to St Peter at the gate as a citizen ot America. Women have bad to force their way into every avenue of work now open to tLem. A letter was receivd this morning from a Russian Nihilist, which completes the countries sending greeting to the council. The letters sent by different countries show the universal interest in tbe council all over the world. For the first convention neia rorty years ago a clays preparation was sufficient; for their International Council a year's preparation was made. She contrasted the difference between tbe manner in which the preps received the convention of forty years ago and the reception of this present International Council. The result of the latter must be of lasting effect. She contrasted the Queen of ingiana s jubilee with this jubilee or the women. The Queen did not do a single good thing to carry down and connect her name with her Iubitee. but in this the women of the world had rongbt the best thoughts and efforts of heart and brain. We have done much to make our country proud of ns and we ask of her just and equable laws to govern and make ber equal to rnan, to protect ber purity. For the men of the iinuu o9& i,u?iu i counsel vim wise women. In proportion as the circle of woman extends itself, she will inspire man with broader views as to national and international .questions. We ask you to eelebrate this . woman s jubilee by placing in woman's band the ballot. When a woman has no care to take part in government it proves that she has not a ripened mind. Woman is hedged about with eld prejudices and sustained in these prejudices by men or common sense. We are sculptors. and our life worK is not to build up creeds and codes, but to roll off the load 3 of superstition and set the imprisoned angel free. 1 o-morrow at 3 o'clock the final meetings of delegates will be held at tbe Riggs House. On Tuesday and Wednesday morning and evening tbe National Woman's Suffrage Association will bold its twentieth annual convention at the Vntversalist Church. A plan of action is to be devised for suffrage work in tbe Southern States, which bare as yet had neither conventions nor lectures. WEATHER AND CROPS.

It Is Said He Will Never Agatia Bs Fit for Active Doty, gpecisl to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April L The Sunday Herald Army and navy correspondent says: "The important event of the week in army matters is tbe announcement of Major-general Alfred H. Terry's contemplated retirement. There is no longer any reason to doubt tbat General Terry is a very sick man. The doctors all agree that he baa Brigbt's disease. Tbe General himself has accepted the inevitable, and informed the department that, although benefited bv his trip South, be does not expect ever again to be able to perform active service. The Department, being assured that he prefers retirement to further extension of sick leave, will comply with his request by ordering a retiring board for bis exam-' ination. Tbe board will meet in Washington. It is understood that Major-general Schofield, who is the only officer in the active list, except.

A Possible) Wrangle Between the House Committees for Precedence This Week. Washington, April 1. Although the com

mittee en rules has mapped out a programme for the government of tbe House proceedings during the week, its publication has given rise to so much dissatisfaction among tbe many committees which bad been left out of tbe arrangement that it is extremely doubtful if it will be adhered to. The indications are that the week will witness many struggles for precedence on tbe floor among tbe committees. If oppor tunity offers to-morrow an attempt will be made to pass, under a suspension of tbe rules, a few public building bills, and Mr. Crain'a proposed constitutional amendment, to change the dates . for tbe meeting of Congress and the inauguration of tbe President. The appropriations committee bas determined to press to a pass age the pension and District of Columbia appropriation bills, and if these measures are called ud they will practically consume the week, as a nnmoer of speeches may be ex pected on the tariff and other questions, under the broad license of general debate on the ap propriation bilL in the ben ate tne falmer bill to create a bureau of animal industry, and the Piatt bill for the admission of Dakota, are mentioned as possible subjects of attention during the coming week, but as the members of both political nart.es are expected to ho; a caucuses on Mon day morning, no one feels warranted in press ing an opinion as to wbat the Senate is likely to do. Everything depends upon tbe action of the caucus in regard to the motion now pending in the Senate to recommit the bond bill, which is the unfinished business. The River and Harbor Bill. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, March 31. The river and harbor bill may be vetoed.

INDIANA. A Verdict Obtained In a'Somswha: brated Case from Miami County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Wabash, March 3L The"; "somewhat Cele celebrated case of Indiana on the relation of Aaron Michael, trustee of Jackson . township, Miami county, vs. William EL Osborn and L. N. Reeves, bas been settled in the Circuit Court here, where it was taken on change of venue. The suit was brought some-, years ago. John Mcllvaine, trustee of Jackson township, de laoixea ana ieii ror anaaa. ; - ins successor, Michaels, discovered the amount of tbe short age, which was very large, and .caused suit to ba brought against Osborne and Reeves, bondsmen for Mcllvaine, for tbe amount; The bondsmen contested the ease on the ground that they were only liable for a certain portion of the amount, as the greater portion of the shortage occurred during Mcllvaine's first term, and that tbe sure ties on tbe first bond should be held for tbe shortage incurred during the term of their bond. Judge Conner bas decided that Osborne and Reeves are liable for $3,970," a.' comparatively small part of tbe sum claimed by plaintiff.

Correspondence of tbe Indianapolis JonrnrV. H.VAN3VIL.L.B marcn 3U. in .traveling over a number of counties in tbe Pocket recently, I have gathered some facts that may not be un interesting to tbe readers of the Journal First (political) The Democratic organ and an occasional Republican paper have been claiming tbat this part of the State would be forjudge Gresham for President as against General Harrison. Now I know whereof I speak when I say that in the counties comprising the First congressional district Jndge Gresbam has no fofibwing except a few personal friends in" Evansville and Mt Vernon, and they" are not at all antagonistic to General Harrison. Tbe Republicans of tbe First district will' support the nominee, be be Harrison, Gresham'or some one not yet named. The wheat prospect in this part of-' the State is very good, while tbe growth" is backward. Farmers tell me tbere is a good stand. . The recent freezes and thaws did not lift it out of the ground, as usual. I have been surprised at the rapid development of th' part of tbe State. Tbe farmers are rapidly in p roving their farms by tiling and otherwise; besides, they are beginning to take an active interest in the improvement of all kinds of stock. One thing that struck me in this part of tbe State is the small amount of. concentrated capital. There are no manufacturing interests outside of Evansville and Mt. Vernon and but one bank in any of the counties outside of Vanderburcr and Posey. - '- Gioson county is one of the wealthy counties in the State, has the finest of farming lauds, and recent investigations have shown an abund ant supply of tbe best coal, and yetlt has no manufacturing interest and but one small bank. The business men of Princeton inform me that another bank rightfully managed would do well here, and they are ready to extend a helping band to any manufacturing enterprise of the right kind that will come among them. Traveler. A Soldiers' Monument for Delphi. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Delphi, March 31.

''One of the books I was trying to sell to tbe trade was a campaign life of President Cleveland. It sold well enough in many towns, but when I struck Buffalo end thought that book wou.d be my strongest eard a courteous bookdealer took roe aside and said: 'Young man, take my advice; if you want to make any sales bere don't begin by offering tbat book. This is the worst town in America for a life of Grover Cleveland. People here don'f like him. We will buy temperance bookr, Sunday-school stories or even collections of poetry, but we draw the line on this.' Before I left Buffalo I fonnd my friend was right," added the salesman.

Flouquet in a rad ical policy; but it is believed that M. Flouquet is trying to combine Yhe Opportunist and Rad ical elements. The English View of the Situation. Special to the Indianartolis Journal. London, April 1. The want of stability which bas of late years characterized the French Min istries is tbe subject of wide comment. Tbe English government organs, almost without ex ception, publish articles deriding tbe system of government, and tbe uncertain tenure of French cabinets with which tbey assert, it is folly for any power to treat because of the almost absolute certainty that before negotiations are fairly under way, tbe Ministers entering into consideration of the questions involved will be thrown out of office and succeeded by men opposed to continuing the discussion. M. Floquet is an advanced Radical, and next to M. Clemwnceauis the strongest man in the new Cabinet. It is not expected, however, that the new Ministry will stand the onslaught of the " Boulanger craze, which is decidedly on the increase. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Senator Ingalls tells me he bas received 1,500 letters in regard to bis recent fiery speech in the Senate, and that his newsnaper mail comes in by the bushel. "The great majority of the letters," says he, "have been commendatory of my action, but a tew have sought to advise me, and one unknown correspondent threatens me with personal violence. One marked newsnaper paragraph denounces me as an infidel, and says tbat a man who has no respect for tbe Almighty could not be expected to respect tbe memories of such saints as McClellan and Han cock. The generosity of the newspapers in the way of advice as to an apology is remark able, and I note that numerous editors say tbat I have signed my political deatb warrant. It is wonderful how sensitive some of these editors are, ana tneir propnecies to-uay are tne same as those they made when I delivered the anti-ad-mmistration speech of iast year. As to tbe let ter published in tbe newspapers, 1 could not an swer such a letter even baa I been inclined to. No man bas a right to call me to account for the language I use in the Senate chamber, and I have no apology to make. If there is any man standing with bis band at bis ear listening for my apology he bad better take it down, for his muscles will grow as stiff as those of the devotee on the Ganges before he bears what be desires. I would merely say that my letters come from G. A. R. men all over the country, and tbat they show me that I am in accord witb the sympathy of the people. " Chief-Justice Taney. Washington Special in Boston Globe. As for Taney, his name has been for thirty years and more linked with a decision tbat be never rendered. Of all the great functionaries of the republic, none went to bis grave more nearly unbonored and unsung. A Jackson par tisan, whom tbe ben ate reiuiea nrst to confirm as an associate justice, ana next "aavisea ana consented to bis nomination as Chief-justice, he found himself projected into a generation tbat he could not understand, and which would not understand him. In war times he was pitilessly ostracised by the new great folks of Washington. He broke and bent under tbe furious storm, and, often, as he crept along the streets of the capital, be beard tbe curses of by standers. An acquaintance of mine once asked Justice David Davis who was tbe greatest man he ever knew. Davis ned to ride the Illinois circuit in which Abraham Lincoln practiced, aed was by the latter elevated to the Supreme Bench, where be sat by the side of Taney in the last two or three years of the. Chief-justice lire, duage Davis, not unlike a member of tbe Supreme Court, valued highly bis own opinion, and was excetdingly careful in delivering it. In this instance be thought deeply for a minute, and then told bis questioner to wait for tne answer until tbey should meet again. A week passed be tween the two meetings. As tbey sat down to-

Minneapolis Evening Journal. New meaning of tbe verb Dicktate to go to Canada. The Third Party People. . To tbe Editor of the Indianapolis Journal! Your correspondent "Jay," who is a third party prohibitionist, writes to "let you know" be is still outside tbe asylum walls. His friends have probably been neglecting tbeir duty. Wbat business baa a man to be "running at large'1 in Indiana, who professes tft favor temperance and whoops round trying to kill tbe Republican party! Seriously, ought not a man to be "looked after" who imagines tbat he is aiding the cause of temperance by voting in tbe air, and in such a way as to help tbe Coy gang to elect a trustee of this township, and to assist the old "putrid reminiscence" in carrying this State? I should like to know in what asylum a fellow belongs, who had' rather have free whisky all over the itate than to see it suppressed in three-fourths of tbe counties under local option. Another thing I. always notice. Wben the canvass opens up, these cranks always send tbeir speakers to those places not where they can do the most good for the temperance cause but where they can do tbe most barm to the Republican party. And then tbey have the assurance to announce that they expect to get their recruits from that party. Wben Mayor Denny was a candidate last year against the chosen representative of Coy and bis gang, when every decent man in the city was striving to down tbe forgers and perjurers, there were ninety-nKie of these hypocritical fellows who refused to assist in tbat righteous contest against the whisky ring and the ballot-box thieves. They preferred to vote in the atmosphere so as to vent thsir spite on the Republican party. Now they are getting ready to go through with the same kiud of "tomfoolery" at the election next Monday. One thing I do demand, if these "goody-goodies" insist in keeping out of the asylum they oght to be "bored for the simples" at the very eariiest opportunity. You will always notiee tbat these leaders are fellows with very sensitive consciences. Nothing is good enough for them without ibeir names appear on tbe ticket. Tbey can't stand such men as Cumback, or Porter, or Harrison, or Wallace. St. John or some other saint, who can get just enough votes to endanger tbe success of the Republican party is the chap they are looking after. Even Murphy is not good enongh for them.
