for the past year to be $14,62;; total dis
bursements, $12,437; balance In treasury,

The five states paying the largest mem
bership dues were New York, Massachu
setts, Iowa, Nebraska and California. Six
teen states showed large gains in member
ship. The libraries committee, Ida Porter
Bower of Pennsylvania chairman, reported
the compiling of a bibliography on woman
suffrage, showing $23 books, pamphlets and
periodicals.
The report of the press committee at na
tional headquarters, Mrs. E. M. Babcock of
New York chairman, shows that 80.000 gen
eral articles were sent to 4,700 papers and
1,445 articles to large city papers. Only
such papers were supplied ns used the
articles. The report shows that 6,000 replies
were sent out to controvert unfair reports
from Colorado and many In reply to Mr.
Cleveland's recent article and to the ad
dress of Cardinal Gibbons at Trinity col
lege commencement.
For Illinois, Catherine Waugh MeCuIloch
chairman, reported advanced ground on
woman suffrage taken by the Federation of
Clubs, 25,nno members, and the Teachers'
federation, S,5fi0 mebers. All political par
ties except the republican, It was shown,
had adopted woman suffrage resolutions In
their state conventions. All hnd nominated
one or more women as trustees of the state
university. Mayor Dunne of Chicago had
appointed Miss Jane Addarns, Mrs. Em
mons Blaine and Dr. Cornelia DeBey on the
Chicago School board. The legislature had
raised the "age of consent" from 14 to 16
years through the efforts of the women of
Illinois.
At the Lewis and Clark Centennial ex

to the suffragists, appropriate exercises
being held.
At the afternoon session Mrs. Ida Husted
Harper, biographer of Susan B. Anthony
and author of "The History of the Woman
Suffrage Movement." presented the reasons
why the women of the United States have
such difficulty In securing the franchise. In
every other country having an elected rep
resentative body this body Itself can con
fer suffrage. In the t'nlted States fie
women must ask this privilege from the I -dividual
voters, and In no country in i
world is there an electorate composed ...
such conglomerate musses. ,

NEW YORK, June 30. John F. Wallace,
who resigned as chief engineer of the
Panama canal commission, and whom Sec
retary Taft charged with leaving the canal
work at a critical moment, gave a state
ment to the Associated Press replying to
Secretary Taft. After making the state
ment publlo Mr. Wallace left the city. He
said he was going to take a much needed
rest and vacation and did not expect to
return. ' during the summer..
Mr. 'Wallace would not make public any
of hla future plans and said that the work
he is to take up will be announced by the
officials of the organization with which he
Is to become connected when they deem
It proper.
Mr. Wa.lace says In part:
The primtry causes which led me to ten
der my resignation as chief engineer of
the Isihmlaa canal commission were under
lying and tundamental, and I must em
phatically repent the charge that my mo
tive in leaving the work was a financial
on.
A careful consideration of the entire sub
iect had brought me to the decision that I
should disconnect myself with the work at
the earliest possible date that it could be
done witnou. embarrassment to the ad
ministration or Injury to the work. It is
unnecessary o stale the reasons for this
decision exceit that In fairness I should
say that tney involve no. criticism of any
act of the pijsident or the secretary of
war.
My final decision was arrived at as a re
sult of the six. days uninterrupted thought
which I was bla to give the subject in
all Us bearing during my voyage from
New York to Ojlon in May. Furthermore,
1 had pledged nttself to my family to give
the matter of ny resignation as chief en
gineer or any poutlon which would require
my continuous ivnldenee on the isthmus,
serious consideration.
It was at this pi-, etiological moment that
I received a cablegram from New York of

was bound tq compiler. I therefore cabled
Immediately, the Beretary of war request

TOLEDO, June 30. One of the most re
markable flights ever made In an airship
was performed today by A. R. Knabenshue,
who sailed through the air a distance of
three miles, landed on top of a ten-story
office building in twenty-five minutes from
the time of starting, and then returned to
the depot from which he started.
The day was ideal for the daring feat. A
light wind was blowing from the east and
Knabenshue sailed his aerial craft directly
in the face of this wind. Two days ago he
declared ha would sail down nnd alight on
the top -of a ten-story building. When he
left the starting place he directed the ship
straight for the city. Whn half the dis
tance had been covered an pper current of
air carried him up to a olstance of 3,000
feet. But the nervy director did not lose
control of his machine for a minute and
steered It directly for the heart of the city.
Business was entirely suspended and the
entire populace gathered In the streets to
watch the course of the ship. When directly
over the skyscraper Knabenshue directed
his craft downward and alighted on the
building with the ease and grace of a bird.
A round of applause greeted the daring
navigator, who was less excited than any of
the spectators. After examining- the ship
to see that 'It was all right and receiving
the congratulations of his friends knaben
shue started back and made the return trip
In fifteen minutes. He declares that his
present ship Is far superior to others he
has navigated, that It is easier manned and
that he has solved the problem of aerial
navigation.

of
WASHINGTON, June 30. William H.
Taft, secretary of war, accompanied by a
distinguished party, including member of
both houses of congress, army officials, the
daughter of the president, Miss Alice
i'.oosevelt, and others, began their journey
to the Philippine islands at 5:30 o'clock this
afternoon. The party embarked In two spe
cial cars on the regular Chicago train
over the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. At the
station to say goodby were the French am
bassador and Madame Jusserand, Mr. Taka
hlra, the Japanese minister; Assistant
Secretary of War Oliver, General and Mrs.
Chaffee and numerous other friends of the
paity.
Short Stop In Chicago.
Although Secretary Taft expects to have
a relief from the arduous duties of the past
few months during his absence the trip Is
one of official inspection and many matters
of administration will be considered. At
Chicago tomorrow night he will meet and
confer with John F. Steven--, who was ap
pointed today to succeed Chief Engineer
Wallace of the Panama Canal commis
sion. He will also confer with W. A.
Darling, with whom negotiations are pend
ing to take tho place of Mr. Stevens, who
was to have been a member of the Philip
pine Island party, and remain in the Island
In charge of the construction of railroads,
aided by government subsidy. Should pres
ent negotiations prove satisfactory Mr.
Darling may accompany the secretary.
A stay of four days will be made In San
Francisco, which Is to be reached July 4.
An important consideration In the Philip
pine islands, to which Secretary Taft will
give his attention, is 'the perfection of
title to many acres of the friar lands which
is still considered cloudy and by reuson of
which the purchase price of the lands of
the whole Dominican order is being with
held. -Will Visit Toklo.
An interesting feature of the trip will be
the call of the secretary on the emperor of
Japan at Toklo. The Japanese minister
. .iere has assured the secretary that his
government is desirous of extending every
courtesy possible. The secretary's response
to this was that he well understood that
the palace would be vacated by the Im
perial family on account of the summer
season at the time of his visit to Toklo
and that his call would simply be the
formal "card call" of respect.
Three months are to be consumed In the
trip. Including a stay of one week In Ma
nila and a trip around the islands occupy
ing ten days.
Swords for Army Officers.
"If they (our army officers) carry any
swords, they ought to carry a sword that
tney can cut and tnrust with, was a
comment which President Roosevelt made
in a letter to the authorities of the war
department some months ago. Today a
voluminous report which discusses every
phase of the :word problem was received
by Secretary Taft.
The sentiment of the army, the report
states, Is largely against the use of any
sword by offlcjrs In the field. Experience
In the Philippine Islands has led to the
replacement .f the sword by the revolvers.
A lesson drawn from the Russo-Japanese
war as to the use of the sword, however,
leads the committee to state that the
sword Is not "the weapon of the past
In the night attacks made In the Man
churian campaign, the bayonet and sword
have been the weapons used and the com
mittee say the losses due to "cold steel
In this war probably never will be actually
known.
The board recommends the continuance
of Instruction In swordsmanship at the
military and naval academies and a com
putation of a manual on sword fencing
for the use of the army. The recommen
dations of the committee are that the saber
adopted for the army shall be both a
thrusting and a cutting weapon. It is
urged that there should be two types of
sabers, the blade for dismounted officers
and men being twenty-seven Inches and
that for mounted officers and men thirty
two Inches in length.

Paul Morton today relinquished the duties
of secretary of the navy. Tomorrow morn

WASHINGTON. June 30,-It Is under
stood here on good authority that negotia
tions are proceeding In Manchuria for an
armistice whirh It Is believed will be drawn
Up by Generals Llnevltch and Oyama.
The plan Is for the plenipotentiaries to
be announced after the armistice has been
arranged, but should the negotiations for
the armistice fall to indicate an early con
clusion the announcement of the plenipo
tentiaries may be made in the near future.
Members of the diplomatic corps are for
the most part uninformed regarding the
negotiations for an armistice and Inquiry
at the Russian embassy and the Japanese
legation tonight brought the reply that
there was nothing to be said on this sub
ject for the present. It has been under
stood here for some time that Russia was
not opposed to an armistice, but the earlier
exchanges between Japan and the Ameri
can government did not show a similar
willingness on the part of the Toklo gov
ernment. In view of the president's earnest
wish for an armistice diplomats here be
lieve that he has followed up his initial
representations with further suggestions
In the effort to bring about a truce before
the Washington conference convenes.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 30. It,, Is re
ported that M. Nelldoff, the Russian am
bassador at Paris, has declined to accept
the position of peace plenipotentiary and
that M. Muravieff, the ambassador of
Russia at Rome, will go In his place. No
confirmation of the rumor is obtainable.
There is no confirmation here of a re
port that Field Marshal Oyama and Gen
eral Llnevltch are arranging an armistice.
The negotiations looking to an armistice,
which were initiated by President Roose
velt, came to a sudden standstill when It
was found that Japan was unwilling to
consider the subject under arrangements
for the conference at Washington had been
completed; but once the plenipotentiaries
are named it Is not unlikely that these
negotiations may be renewed.
Dispatches from the front report a lull
in operations and this may be significant.
One of the Associated Press correspond
ents predicts that no grand battle is prob
able before the meeting of the plenipo
tentiaries. HEADQUARTERS OF THE RUSSIAN
ARMY, GODZYADANI, Manchuria, June
30. According to Information brought by
persons arriving from the extreme west,
the reports that the Russian right had
been turned are Incorrect. On the con
trary. It Is said that General Nogi's army,
which on June 16 was far to the westward
of the other Japanese armies, has since
been moving east in the direction of
Changtufu and the pressure brought to
bear against the Russian cavalry flank
It is t hoi' jilt was for the purpose of cov
ering the withdrawal of the main force.
The Japanese are slowly pushing forward
their center. They are, strongly fortifying
each village occupied by them and are
making a demonstration of considerable
force near Hallungcheng, ninety miles east
of Changtufu.
The operations are proceeding slowly and
a general engagement Is Impossible before
the end of July.
TOKIO. July 1. Field Maithal Oyama's
right has begun an aggressive movement
against Hallungchen.

to his wife and to his attending physicians
about 10 last night at the end of one of
the best days he has had since his lllnets.
The local trouble was clearing up satis
factorily, according to Dr. Scudder.
The secretary suffered none of the old
pains In his chest which characterized his
earlier illness. He had been perfectly com
fortable all day and happy In the antici
pation of leaving his bed for the greater
freedom and comfort of a couch.
At 11 o'clock he was sleeping quietly. A
few minutes after 12 o'clock he called the
nurse who at once summoned Dr. Scudder.
Both Dr. Scudder and Dr. Murphy
hastened to the bedside. The secretary wa
breathing with difficulty and expired al
most Immediately afterward at 12:25.

THURSTON DEFENDS MITCHELL
Former Nebraska Man Telia Jury Evi
dence Agalnat Oregon Senator
la Irrelevant.
PORTLAND, Ore., June 30. Ex-Senator
John M. Thurston began his argument In
the defense of United States Senator John
11. Mitchell in the United States circuit
court today. He contended that he came
S,0"Q miles to assist In the defense of tho
senator because he had seen the old states
man In comparative poverty in Washing
ton, after twenty-four years' service In the
United States senate, and he knew In his
heart that the senator who after twenty
four year In the senate lived as Senator
Mitchell lived, was an honest man.
He contended that the prosecution wa
waged that the brilliant district attorney
might add laurels to hi;
his achievement of convicting a United
Statea senator of such long and honored
aervlce might be heralded through the
newspapers to all parts of the country.
He alleged that the mass of tektlmony In
troduced by the government did not sub
stantiate the counts of the Indictment,
but was a lot of Irrelevant matter that had
been Introduced to Influence tit Jury,
BRAUN AT OYSTER BAY
Emigration Inspector Whose Mnll
Tampered With Makes
Report.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y., June 30. Marcus
Braun of New York, the United States emi
gration Inspector, who while on a special
mission In Europe recently caught an offi
cial of the Austro-Hungarlan government
in the act of tampering with his mall,
visited Oyster Bay today to have a talk
with Secretary Loeb about some official
matters.
The work of Inspector Braun was of a
confidential character and It Is likely, there
fore, that the report on It may not be
made public. He said, however, that the re
ports show not only through the personal
statements Inspector Braun himself, but
also through official documents of the Austro-Hungarlan
government and through
affidavits of responsible persons, that the
Austro-Hungarlan government is fostering
and encouraging the emigration to the
United States of Its people and at the same
time urging the immigrants not to become
citizen of this country, but to get together
all the money they can earn here and then
return to their own country. In the foster
ing of this immigration it Is charged that
the Austro-Hungarlan government sub
sidizes one or more steamship lines, with
the result that they carry the Immigrants
to the United States at a nominally low
rate. By this means the Austro-Hungarlan
government rids Itself, temporarily at least,
of some residents who are not especially
desirable and many of this class succeed
In landing In this country, despite the
rigidity of the Immigration law.
There are societies In this country whose
members work In conjunction with the Austro-Hungarlan
government, bringing all
sorts of Influence to bear to secure the
landing of certain Immigrant who come
here. The situation presented Is regarded
by the immigration authorities a serious,
although In the absence of legislation bear
ing directly upon It nothing can be done
except to enforce strictly the law a It now
stands.

$10,000 in the case of the Johnson Express
company, in each of the four bill against
it and $5,000 each In other cases.

ODESSA, June 30. Without firing a gua
or making tho slightest show of resistance,
the mutineers on the Kniax Potemkln
hauled down the red flag and surrendered
the battleship to Vice Admiral Kruger'a
squadron, which arrived here at noon to
day. It was an anxious moment for Odessa as
the squadron of five battleship and seven
torpedo boats, with their crew at quar
ters and their decks cleared for action,
steamed within range of the Knlaz Potem
kina, the flagship flying signal which readt '
"Yield or bo gunk." v i
The display of force wa too overwhelm
ing for tho mutineers and all thought of re
sistance was abandoned. Admiral Krugor
ordered the Ekatertna II to place a crew
on board the Knlaz Potemkine and the
other vessel of the squadron immediately
sailed away.
The mutineers wlll be transferred to the
Ekatertna II, which I now lying alongside
the Knlaz Potemkine, and they will be
taken to Sebastopol.
The terms of surrender cannot be learned
a boats from the shore were not allowed
to approach, but It 1 thought that the
mutineers received promises that tho pun
ishment prescribed by the naval rules would
be mitigated to some extent. The Ekater
tna II remain in the harbor. The city Is
still In a state of feverish anxiety. All the
hotels are guarded by troops and further
reinforcement have arrived. All reserva
tions on outgoing trains have been takm
for days ahead.
During the demonstration after the fu
neral of the sailor Omlltchuk yesterday,
four persons were killed and several
wounded. Many arrests have been made.
