BOX 1545 PRINCE RUPERT. B.C. The Suffrage in Sweden Not alone in America und Englund, but in Sweden are women pressing for the right to vote. Not content with agitation by public and private meetings, the movement Has just given a gigantic expression of its aspirations. This took the board of the All Country Union for female political suffrage to the Swedish premier, M. Lindmun. The petitioners, among whom were several notable personages, begged that a bill might be introduced into the forthcoming session of the Riksdag, giving suffrage to women on the same conditions as to men. In his reply, Premier landman said that a statisticul survey of the views held by famous experts as regurds fe- mule political suffrage was in course of prcparution, together with a report of female suffrage in the countries where it has been granted. Therefore he thought the question ought not to be dealt with by the government until some experience' had been gained as lo the effects of the great suffrage reform so recently passed in Sweden. This attitude of Premier Lindmun's does not please the more ardent spirits. An Actress's Opinions Eva Tanguay, the Canadian-bo. n girl, who is known as a vivacious aciress has been writing on that eternal topic, church and stage. In the course of a newspaper article she traces thc history of the stage brielly. and starting with Puritan England, she writes: "Then begun the fierce rivulry of church und stuge, which could put up the most gorgeous display of settings, the finest robed actors and attendants, the most marvelous buildings, the most brilliant and dazzling illumination. "From the pulpit the bishop and the priest hurled damnation at the stage and the uctors. From the stage the comedians and uctors mimicked the priests. "Today, if you were to bring n heuthen to town who hud never seen a theatre or a church, and tuke him to both some night before the performunce begins, and show him ull the decorations, und usk him which was which, he would be puzzled to answer. "The architecture of the modern church outrivals the gaudy splendor of the most dazzling theatres of the land. The modern church choirs rival grand opera, and the dress of the congregation equals the theatre box. "The modern preacher is its much an actor as uny character in vuudeville. I've heard preachers rear like lions. I have known them that saw nothing but evil without, and purity within themselves. Then I have known actors ���I have heard them teach the beautiful lessons of a living Christ, and point a moral that sunk deep into the hearts of everyone that heard them���and I know Christians as good as any in the land who never miss a play." The Modern. Sweater Now that sweaters have become a Staple article of dress and are custom made, big improvements have developed in their cut (if one may so speak of garments built up of stitches) and consequently they huve a grace and shapliness unknown to sweaters of former season*-. In the new sweaters any stretching of the shoulder seam is avoided by a length of strong tape, one end of which is sewed to the armhole, the other end to the edge of the neck. This tape simply forces the shoulder to keep its shape. Seums no longer are overhanded together with the yarn of which the sweater is made, but are closely stitched with cotton or silk which will never stretch. An excellent idea is to bind thc seams with an extra strong cotton tape that is machine-stitched in place. SS. Sails for Vancouver Victoria AND Seattle m, Thursdays, at 8.30 p, ss.

Toronto, Out., March 1. Toronto is threatened with a water famine. Two of the John street pumps have shut down, and at present the city is dependent upon one pump of 15,000,000 gallons capacity*. The euuse of the trouble is the peat mass of floating ice which has been swept across the mouth of the intake pipe by recent east winds. This has piled in great heaps above the surface, and as it accumulates the base of the huge ice lift is steadily forced down towards the mouth of the pipe. The city is being served from the reserve reservoir and the supply may run out at any time. NEW WHALER ARRIVES Ik First of a Fleet to Come From Norway Victoria, March 'J. Thc steam whaler White, first of the new "Rainbow" fleet of the Canadian Northern Pacific Fisheries company reached port early this morning from Tordenskjold, Norway, where five steamers of the same type were constructed for the local whaling company to augnemt its fleet of whale hunters off the British Columbia coast. The White passed into the strait at 5.15 p.m. yesterday, and is expected to be followed shortly by the Green and Black. The three vessels which had a trying lime on the way between Callao and San Diego which port they left on Sunday for Victoria, left Norway together and made a number of calls en route for bunker coal. They were followed twenty- five days later by two other whalers, the Blue and Brown, which are now on the wuy from Cullao to San Diego. The White, Green and Black ran short of coal when nearing San Diego, and put into that port last week with their bunkers almost bare.

The announcement ol the Mora] and Social Reform Association's meeting for Sunday afternoon, "for men only," raises an Inquiry about (he isdom of re- Berving any public question for discussion by men only. There is no calling into question of the Moral and Social Reform Association's policy. In this thoy are but followinK the practice of Moral and Social Reform Associations the world over. It is the general policy ol the combined bodies that is quest iimed. It is of course admitted on all sides ihat no public speaker���and this includes newspapers- has any right without duly warning his audience, to deal with matters concerning the underworld. It is bitter that those whose s:uils would be merely shocked and pained by the subject should not ha e iheir ears and minds outraged y the discussion of matters which otherwise they would remain blissf lly ignorant of. But 'here is no Justification in reason for placing the accident of sex as the dividii . line betwwn those who should, and those who should not, be invited to enter into earnest discussions of the nature and cure of the social evil. It is quite true that a large number of women are much more concerned with bridge scores and spring fashions than with sociology, and the vast majority ith domestic rather than public questions. But this should not disbar any whose earnest desires lead them to take an interest in public matters. On such a q nation ;is that for which the Association has called its meeting on Sunday, the judgment of a few earnest minded women might be of much greater value than that o( many of the men. Much more than man, is woman's interest bound up in the maintenance of the integrity of the home. And as Edward Carpenter has poii.ted out, the purer conditions under which most women learn to think about the life prOHoaBea. makes her judgment truer and more scientific than that of ihe average man. The work of such women as Josephine Butler and Jane Addams speaks for ilself. The value of women in the work of civic regeneration has be.'n well evidenced of late by the women of Seattle. B*hi d a wall of m��n*y���hu-th-money a id graft money and vice money the vice ring in Seattle had for many years defied all efforts to interfere with its work. Il remained (or the women of Seattle at 'he first election following their enfranchisement to put an end to the operations of the vice ring, and recall its representatives from public life. The work of changing the world's opinions is always a slow one. Kor centuries men hi.ve demanded as their ideal woman what Mr. H. G. Wells pithily describes as "a little fluffy fool." Changing economic conditions, notably thc entrance of women to industrial life, are bringing about a new ideal fur women. The day of tha little fluffy fool has passed. Now when the Moral and Social I cform Association, taboo women from their deliberations very frequently they are denying themselves ihe aid of judgments not less earnest, not less pure, not less scientific than thai of thc best among them. The day is coming when "for men o.ily" meetings will be considered a relic of the dark past. Bui ii will not be for a long time yet. A Set Back for Congressman Bennett Congressman Bennett who occupied the centre of the world's stage for eight minutes while his resolution to provide for the annexation of Canada was being chloroformed in the Senate, is made the subject of the following editorial remarks in the columns of the New York American: Mr. Bennett's resolution, introduced int) the House of Representatives yesterday, requesting the President to enter into negotiations with the British Government looking to the annexation of Canada by the United States, was a piece of horse-play as offensive as it was inept. Ii was, of course, intended to cast a slur on the reciprocity program and to discredit in the eyes of Canada the sincerity of the United States Government . To talk of annexation as a thing within the present range of practical politics is to proclaim oneself an ignoramus or an irresponsible triller. And lo suggest the idea or treating with the British Government In such a matter is to say what would bc very insulting to our Canadian neighbors��� if it were nol so silly. To hope that the day may come in the distant future when the political from Inr between the two- countries will be wiped out is a sentiment of neighborly good feeling as well as a harmless adventure of prophecy. But is neither neighborly nor intelligent to Bpcak of annexation as a measure to be precipitated by either party���in a year or in a generation. And it is downright disloyalty to a great national cause to cast the import ii.ent and impossible question of annexation into the midst of the present momentous discussion. It is thc settled conviction of the majority of the people on both sides of the international line that annexation is not a living issue for living men. Mr. Bennett, not being a fool, is perfectly aware of this fact. He has been guilty oi a political indecency of which hc ought to be ashamed.

It was clearly a case w ere the man hu murdered the woman wilh n dagger, and then had blown his brains out. The horror of the tragedy has been deepened by thc discovery that the woman is thc Princess Di Trigonu, a member of one of the oldest families in Italy, and reputed to have been the most beautiful woman at the Italian court.

San Francisco, March 1.- -With pared es, band concerts, receptions and speeches, San Francisco today celebrated her victory over New Orleans in securing national indorsement as the site for the Panama exposition. By proclamation of thc mayor, stores were closed for the afternoon, and when thc great parade started down Market street at 2.30 o'clock San Francisco outdid herself in her wild demonstration. Promptly with thc starting of the parade every controller of a steam whistle or siren in the city and harbor was tied down and the resultant roar shook the nearby hills. A large contingent of militia anil regular ironis figured in the parade.

Elliott, Agent Toda ��� the strike situation remains unchanged. The men met last night in the P. R. I. A. Hall, an I various matters eanie up for diseur-sion in relation to the carrying on of the cam paign for the 45 cent rate. The hall was crowded, but as the a nounccment was made that all minor questions 'requiring attention would be settled by the executive committee, a number ! of those present retired. Station Work Prohibited One point which was made clear was that workmen will not be allowed to [taka station work from those con- ; tractors who have refused to grant the increase. Another matter was the charge for board made by S. P. Mc- ' Mordie on the wages of six men whom ; hc had arranged should put up at the Grand View Hotel. On the declaration of the strike these men had been turned out of the hotel, and on their time el ecks their board was charged up. ' One worker to whom $58 wits coming had, it is said, $53 deducted for board. Another lo whom $70 was due had lo draw only $2 cash, his board charge being $70. Waa It for Whiskey. A member of the executive committee said that one of the WtrkeN had explained the high charge for hoard by i saying that some of it was for whisky. How could a charge be made for whisky In a board hill al the Grand View Hotel? The Grand View Hotel has no licence. He thought that the workers should 'demand the full amount of thc wages due them and pay their hoard bills themselves, and suggested that if the contractor did nut like this plan, an appeal to the Government Agent might help. Press Reports Criticized A motion that the press be excluded ' from the workers' meetings as the mover considered that the published | accounts of the meetings were garbled, | was withdrawn. Thc chairman, Mr. ! W. Fraser, informed the mover that both the reporters who attended the meetings held P. R. I. A. membership cards and could not therefore be excluded. The motion was altered to one that the reporters consult the Secretary before ] writing up their stories. This motion j was carried. Mike Gurvitch's Trouble A discussion between members of [the Executive Committee and M. Gurvitch on the matter of wages and his contract was described with the reservation of certain private matters which the committee had agreed not to give out. It seems that Gurvitch's intention is to sec whether the city will make up to him the difference between the 37 1-2 rate and the 45 cent rate, in which case he is prepared to pay the 45 cents and start up his contract again. If not, he will consider whether to pay the 45 cent rate himself or throw up the contract altogether. This contract il will be remembered is the Third avenue one which was priced so low that the bust city council had to consult with the city engineer before il was thought I advisable to lei the work to Gurvitch. Have Interpreting Committee Amongst other business done at last night's meeting was the appointing of an Interpreting Committee consisting of members of the various nationalities chosen by the men to act as official interpreters of proceedings at the meetings. Will Meet the Camosun This morning thc Executive Committee wits in attendance at the Hall to look after the detail matters arising, and to advise the workers. The announcement that 25 laborers engaged by S. P. McMordie, are expected by the Camosun tonight, and that arrangements have been made for them to board at the Westholme Lumber Co.'s premises, was discussed by some of the men. The Secretary stated that the steamer .will be met by a strong detainment of the workmen in order that these 25 men may not be allowed to land here under any misapprehensi n whatever regarding the situation. It is thought that the men may be coming here in ignorance i f the filet that ihey are expected to act as strike-breakers. RESIGNATION ASKED FOR Ottawa M. H. O. ia Being Accused for Typhoid Outbreak Ottawa, March 2.--The typhoid troubles of Ottawa have raised considerable criticism of the Board of Health and the Medical Health officer. There is an accusation of dereliction of duty regarding the entrance of pollution into the water supply. Outspoken public opinion was replied to by a motion of the Hoard of Health agreeing on its own efficiency, and proposing to raise salaries all round This was the last straw, and the city council, after a warm debate, asked the Board of Control to reorganize the discredited depart ment. Tonight thc Controllers have asked for the resignation of Dr. Law, Medical Health Officer, around whose head the storm has waged.
