Following the crusade paa'm and the crusade hymn, prayer waa offered by Pr. William J. Mo burly of Oxford. After the roll call by Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman ot Missouri the reports tf the executive and other committeea were presented. Addresses of welcome and re sponses were made and telegrams and let ters read. Then Mrs. Lillian N. M. Stevens of Tortlsnd, Me., national president, dellv ered her address, reviewing the victories and the defeats ot the year, and touching, with some apparent reluctanoe, the prob lem of a apread ot the wiae-drlnklug habit among women.

We realise that In Kngland tha "rowing against the tide" Ix exceedingly hard, but the temperance people are rowing aa never Wfore. Kvrn In Kngland there are some encouraging featurva in connection with tha temperance reform. Steps are being taken with good prospects of auccesa to in duce Parliament to abolish barmnlda, au.OOO of whom are employed In tha British is.ea. A few years ago such a movement waa con sidered inexpedient, dui toaay it la con sidered expedient because It is right. In our own country naturally enough there cornea first to our minds the over throw of the prohibitory law ln Vermont and New Hampshire. This disaster cume about by a combination of political trick ery, the unstinted work at the liquor fra ternity of the country, and the deceived and bewildered condition nf some of the votera of theee stales. One ot the pamph lets circulated by t liquor bureau waa "The Theory of I-ronlhltion," by a minister. It la a blighting shame that aavone pro fessing to be a minister of the gospel of our Lord and Savior should formulate a "theory" which could be used by the liquor Interests of the country to promote Ha dhv bollcal trude. Faithful work has been done making aentlment in favor of an anti-polygamy amendment to tha constitution ot tha United States. Mleeeapolle Mayar am Example.

We surelv hear more about drinkinar women than formerly, perhapa from the fact mat the drinking haott attracts more attention than tt aid in the days when nearly every one used liquor In one form or another, hoeaklng ot Intemperance unions' women. and that much ot It comes through the use of alcohol In meolclne, Sir Thomas Barlow, pnysician 10 tne King or cngiana. is re ported to have said: "The only remedy tor I the evil la total abstinence; halt and half I measures are use.es; we must banUh alco- noi euiireiy.

As temperance women we desire the right of franchise, because we believe we could, thua armed, deal more effectually with the liquor problem, and the lact that the liquor element Is always opposed to woman's suf frage furnishes ampie proof that we are right In our belief. Those who think that women should have equal opportun.ty with men In the medical field have reason to re joice as little by litt.e the barriers built up by custom, prejudice and superstition are being swept away. Those who believe In woman's equality In the church may re joice, as one woman after anothur ia being elected as a delegate to the fc-wnerar con ference of the Methodist church, with no poHslbllity of her being turned away be cause the Is a woman. Those who believe In the equality of women in governmental affairs may well rejoice as they read the statements of fair-minded men -rving In thoe communttlea and atates where the ballot with all its responsibility haa been granted to women. These are but a few of the encouraging prophecies of that belter time toward which Christian civilisation In leudlng. The National Woman'a Christian Tem perance union must be in hearty accord with the movement made by the American Peace society for a aiated lnteri.atlon tl congress to meet once in every live or seven years to deliberate upon matters of com mon interest to the nations and make rec ommendations to the governments. - Report ef Officers. The report of Mrs. Susanna M. D. Fry, the corresponding secretary, contained the following: The national organisers report 333 unions organised, with K.WT members. This does not Include the work ot the atate or local organlsera. Tha receipts of the Wlllard moinorial fund were H.l.ss. A larger num ber of Women's Christian Temperance union Instutes were held during tne oast year than ever before. Kleven states have made a gain of sou or over new members nbove all losses, and some ot them well on toward z.uvu new members, which goea to prove that the Women s Christian 'lem perance union is marching on with a regu lar and measured awing. Thirty-five other statea report an increase o( membership. The report of Mrs. Helen M. Barker, the treasurer, showed the gain in membership for the year waa 6,964. The total receipts were U,177 and the expenditures IJ5.3W, the balance on hand being $778. On account of "much talking In the audi ence" it became necessary to appoint a aergeant-at-arms. Mra. Forbes of Connecti cut was appointed Jointly with Mrs. Deraer est of New Jersey, but the work of pre serving order waa finally left to the latter with authority to appoint aaslatants. On motion of Mrs. Marie C. Brenn of Cliicago the American flag was adopted for the official salute Instead of "unhyglenlo use of handkerchiefs," and a committee waa appointed to secure the flag. Addresses were made by Ir. W. F. Crafts of Washington, Miss Emma Alexander, ed itor of the Union Signal, and others. Mrs. Helen G. Rice, in reporting as general sec retary of the Loyal Temperance Legion, Introduced prominent workers from differ ent statea to show what was being done by that branch.

APPROVES CUBAN TREATY Wgji and Meant Committee of Bonn Ifakei Report ai to BilL TWO DEMOCRATS OPPOSE THE REPORT Representative Dick Introduces Bill Providing; for Commission to In vestigate Election Laws of Various States. WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. When the house met today Mr. Payne (N. Y.), chair man of the committee on ways and means, reported the Cuban bill and gave notice that on Monday he would call It up for consideration. By unanimous consent the minority of the ways and means committee was given further time In which to submit a minority report. Mr. Payne stated that the agreement with the minority was that the Cuban bill be considered until 4 p. m. Thursday, when a vote will be taken. Immediately after the reading of the Journal Mr. IJvernasu (Cal.) arose to a question of personal privilege. Reading from manuscript, he began by saying: Indications are that in the Panama Colombia matter the president is Invading a constitutional prerogative of the con gress, and It seems of high importance to the dignity and Importance una authority of this house that doubt be dispelled forth with. Mr. Payne rose to a point of order and insisted that the question of privilege be stated first. The speaker suggested that a I resolution wouia iniorm tne nouse aa xo what question the gentleman deeired to present. He Anally sustained the point of order, cries ot "regular order" being heard oa the republican side. On motion of Mr. Payne the houae adjourned. Ways and Means Committee Report. The house committee on waya and means today authorised a favorable report on the bill making effective the Cuban reciprocity treaty by a vote of 14 to 1. Mr. Metcalf, rep. (California), was present, but did not vote and Messrs. Ro!erton, dem. (La.), and Cooper, dem., (Texas), voted against the bill. Two amendments were offered in com mittee, but both were rejected by the re publicans. One extended the provisions of the treaty to all other countries. The other abolished the Differential duty on refined sugar. The report says: The enactment of the bill Into law Is necessary to give effect to the convention providing for reciprocal trude between this country and Cuba. This results not merely because the convention Itself provides that It shall not take effect until the same shall have been approved by the congress, but because the constitution gives no power to the president and the senate to make a convention or treaty changing the rates of revenue. That power now la expressly lodged in the congress. It la not Intended here to cite authorities or advance reaaona on this proposition. The records of congress aliound with un refuted arguments on the affirmative, of thin con nection and the prattle of congreas has been uniformly In the same direction. The president has deemed the sub.lect of sufficient Importance to convene an ex traordinary aekxlou Of cor.gresa in order tiiat the convention may become effective before the commencement of the harvest of the new sugar crop in Iecember. No Harm Will Hrsalt. This legislation will result In no harm to any American Induxtry Articles, the product of this country, like the articles embraced In this cotiveution, now imported from Cuba, receive the very hlghent protec tion of any in the name schedule. The duty on sugar waa plated above the pro tective point or the poetorhce revenue. The houae tariff bill provided expreswly for a redaction in the interests of reciprocal trade agreement, which it authorised the presi dent to make. The duly on tobacco has tor years been much lusher than any ne cessity required on account ot the compe tition of CuUm tobacco. The reduction in UUa ulll Uavee it amply protected. The report cloats with an argument set ting forth the advantages to both this country and Cuba, which will result from a reciprocal arrangement provided In the legislation. To Study Election Laws. Representative Dick of Ohio Introduced a resolution today which, after reciting the law regulating suffrage and alluding to the curtailment of the suffrage privilege In the United States, say a; Resolved, That the matter be referred to the committee on election provinces, vice J (resident and representative, whose duty t shall be, and who shall have full power to Investigate and inquire Into the validity of the election laws of the several statea and the matter of their enforcement and whether the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for prenldent and vice president of the United States, representatives In congress, and the mem bers of the legislature of any state is de nied to the male inhabitants of any of the states being 21 years old and a cltlsen of the United States, except for participa tion In rebellion or other crime. Said com mittee shall have power to subpoena and examine witnesses under oath and send for records and other evidences that may be necessary for a full and complete in vestigation of the several subjects herein mentioned, and it shall be authorised to sit under the sessions of the house and to have such printing and binding dune as It shall deem necessary and it shall make a full report to the house of the result of the investigation at as early date aa is possible.

RATES TO BE BASED ON COST GommiHiou Maj Adopt Kw Suls to De termine Eea'onableneei of Obargei. ASK WHAT IT COST TO BUILD LINE Intimation that Freight and Pas senger Charges Cannot Re Fixed oa Rnsls of Bond and Stock Issues. CHICAGO, Nov. . Actual values ot railroad properties as presented by the money actually expended In their con struction, are to be taken into considera tion by the Interstate Commerce commis sion In the future when determining the reasonableness of advances made In freight rates. This fact developed today when the commission took great pains to ascertain how much It had cost to build the Inter national V Great Northern railroad, which is one of the properties concerned In the advance of rates from St. Louis to Texas common points. In the caae of this railroad tt did not develop that the capitalization and funded debt upon which Interest must be paid In the one case and upon which It Is desired to pay dividends in the other are excess ive. It Is expected, horn ever, that some of the southern roads Interested in the present inquiry will not make such a good showing. Cases whero groups of railroads are In volved in freight rates It appears that some of them are burdened with overcapi talisation. The position ot the commission is based upon the recent holding of the supreme court that a railroad is entitled to only a fair return on the actual Investment. W. B. Riddle, freight trafflo manager of the Santa Fe, waa the principal witness today. He volunteered to furnish the com mission with the rules and bylaws of the Southwestern Tariff Bureau and declared that he did not see-how a competitive rata could be changed or fixed without consulting with connecting lines. Increased cost of labor and of all materials used by railroads made an increase In the Texas rates necessary, Mr. Blddle said. In the opinion of the witness the Texaa rates should have been raised three years ago and were fully justified by changed con ditions. Questioned by Commissioner Flfrr Mr. Blddle admitted that the volume of traffic had increased materially of late years and that revenues had further been increased by an slmost absolute malntalnance of rates.
