Washington', Nov. 14.—At the an-
nual meeting of the board of trade of
the national capital a resolution was
introduced by Mr. W. (J. Knox indors-
ing the project of an internation ex-
position at Washington in 1900, to cele-
brate the close of the nineteenth cen-
tury and the beginning of the second
century of the District of Columbia as
the seat of the general government.
Mr. Warner, in speaking of the
resolution, said that it might
Interfere with the exposition of
1897, to be held in Baltimore.
It was passed, however, and included
in it a resolution providing- that the
board of trade become a board of pro-
motion, with the directors as a com-
mittee of ways and means.
Iowa Woman SufTracrlfttft.
Dks Moines, la., Nov. 14.—The an-
nual convention of the Iowa Woman
Suffrage association opened in the city
yesterday to continue two days. Mrs.
Rowena Stevens, of Boone, state presi-
dent, presided. There were 100 dele-
gates in attendance. The forenoon
session was occupied with reports from
the officers and committees. The asso-
ciation shows a good growth in mem-
bership, but the progress of work fur-
thering the suffrage cause has not been
Bs encouraging as the members had ex-
pected the reports would show. A plan
will be adopted of pushing the work
from this time till the legislative ses-
sion opens, with the design of securing
a mammoth petition to lay before the
legislature in behalf of woman suf-
frage.

cially, the federation has : rown in
numbers and influence. Nearly 150
local unions have been chartered.

Liquor Question.
Rockfohd, 111., Nov. 14.—W. I). Stap-
lin, of this city, has received a letter
from his daughter, Mrs. Ida Hamilton
confirming the report that she had left
her husband at Levita, Col., after be-
ing married only a few days. Mrs.
Hamilton states that her first husband,
Mr. Grant, told her before his death
that if she ever married again he
would haunt her until doomsday. She
says she had a terrible feeling come
over her on the way out to
Colorado and could not shake it off.
At the wedding everybody noticed her
pallor and she nearly fainted during
the ceremony. Every time her hus-
band came near her she says she felt
a nameless horror steal over her. She
could stand it only a few days, she
says, and then, kissing his seven chil-
dren, while he was out on the ranch,
left the place for Denver, and says she
is now happy again. Mr. Staplin has
written his daughter to come home.
Mrs. Cleveland's Work.
Washington, Nov. 14.—The Needle-
work g-uild of Washington is an organ-
ization of ladies formed for the pur-
pose of supplying articles of clothing
to the poor. It embraces 583 members
and has no church connection. The
president is Mrs. Harlan, wife of Mr.
Justice. Ilarlnn, of the United States
supreme court. At the annual meet-
ing yesterday Mrs. Robert Craig, pres-
ident of the board of directors, said
that Mrs. Cleveland was one
of the most earnest workers in the
guild, and that she had made thirty-
eight pieces, and had lately sent five
to headquarters. Mrs. Craig said that
if every member of the society would
be likewise charitable and industrious
there would be little suffering for
clothing this winter.
The Iowa Liquor Question.
l)F.s Moines, la., Nov. 14.—Fuller re-
turns of a poll of the coming general
assembly on the liquor question show
that if the democrats and anti-pro-
hibition republicans operate together
there is a probability that a resolution
resubmitting a prohibitory amend-
ment to the constitution may
be defeated and a law passed
permitting the manufacture of liquors.
But if the republicans take the liquor
question into their caucus then it is
probable that the prohibitionists will
be in control. The house contains
a hundred members and the senate
ninety. The democrats, twenty in the
house and seven in the senate, are
solidly opposed to resubmission and in
favor of a manufacturing law.

The Army and Navy May .loin iu the Uon-
eral Revolt.
Constantinople, Nov. 14. — There
6eems to be no doubt that the spirit of
revolution is spreading1 even among
the old Turks, and the young Turkish
party is said to be ripe for revolt.
The array needs money for pay, equip-
ment and provisions, and the same
state of affairs prevails in the navy.
I!ut the arrears of pay are not forth-
coming' in consequence, except among
the palace troops, which are
kept well fed, well paid and
comfortably idle, for upon them de-
pends the safety of the sultan, who is
in hourly dread of assassination. Un-
der these circumstances it is not as-
tonishing that the army and navy are
becoming disaffected, and nobody
would be astonished to hear that they
have sided with the revolutionists,
should the expected uprising take
place.
Kev«n Men AnphyxlAtotl.
New York, Nov. 14.—Seven men
were overcome by gas at Forty-second
street and Eleventh avenue yesterday
afternoon. They were excavating for
the purpose of repairing a leaking gas
main, and the gas burst upon them so
suddenly that they were rendered un-1
conscious before they could make a j
move toward escaping. They are in a
serious condition, though the physi- j
cians say the cases are not necessarily
fatal.

New York, Nov. 14.—The Herald this
morning publishes a letter from Peter
Maher, the Irish champion, in which
he says: "In reply to your query as to
my intentions in a pugilistic way, I
would say that I am prepared to de-
fend the championship of tho world
turned over to me by James .1. Corbett
against any man in the world, Robert
Fitzsimmons and Joe Uoddard
preferred. My reason for ex-
pressing n preference for Uoddard
and Fitzsimmons is this*. When I
met l-'ilz and suffered defeat at his
hands I wns only a novice and had but
a vague idea of the rudiments of spar-
ring. The same is true in regard to
Uoddard. My inexperience alone was
responsible for my reverses at the
hands of the two men mentioned. Mr.
Fitzsimmons has the first call. Ho
challenged me some time a_r< , and I
now wish to state that I will light him
in private or public for $10,000 a side
and a purse in one week, two
weeks or six weeks, but 1 would
prefer an early date. I do not care
where the battle ground may lie. As
to James J. Corbett, I will say that un-
der no consideration will I challenge
him or annoy him iu any way until he
announces that he is a .rain an aspirant
for the championship honors. Mr. Cor-
bett turned over tho championship to
me and I accepted it."

A Conductor and 11 In Klamimn Instantly
Killed on the Cleveland, Lorraine &

Wiikkmno, W. Va., Nov. 14. — Charles
Ernest, conductor on the first section
of a northbound freight on the Cleve-
land, Lorraine & Wheeling railway,
and his flagman, John Davis, were in-
stantly killed at Warwick, ()., shortly
after midnight. The first section was
lying on the main track waiting for
orders when the second section crashed
into the caboose, where Ernest and
Davis were asleep, killing them in-
stantly and mangling their bodies in
a terrible manner. The caboose was
reduced to kindling wood and the en-
gine of the second section was seri-
ously damaged. The dense fog which
prevailed at the time is believed to
have prevented the engineer from see-
ing the signals of the train ahead.
indian EDUCATION.
Heroinniciidatioii* In the Annual Keport of
Superintendent 11 a II man.
Washington, Nov. 14. —W. N. Hail-
man, superintendent of Indian schools,
in his annual report, discusses at some
length the proposition to enlist tho
different states in Indian education.
He says there are in some cases an un-
willingness to admit Indian children
to schools attended by white children,
and in some cases, he thinks, it miifht
become necessary to continue specific
Indian schools for limited periods. He
discusses the difficulties which Indian
children who have been at school en-
counter when they return to the reser-
vations and tho squalor of Indian life,
lie thinks efforts should be made to
have agents establish these Indians in
homes of their own, and exert every
effort to prevent them from returning
to their former mode of life.
