Toronto, Jne 2t -Suffrage, the white slave traffic anti the sulestitution of ar- bitration for the military method ell - formed subjects for diecussion by the In- ternational Colwell of Women en Satur- day. In regard to the last two subjects no definite dole= was arrived at and their debate will be reeumcd at it later (late. On the suffragist question, how- ever, -the Council reaffirmed its preyi. nue attitude in favor or women receiving the eame electoral. advantages as mem- bers of the opposite sex. .An important feature of Saturday's business wee the election of officers. Two candidates had been nominated for the office of President, the Conn- tess. of .Aberdeen, and Mme. Jules Siegfried, France, bat the decision of the ballot put an and to all ques- tions as to the supposed desire that the position should not again be given to the lady who has occupied it with such grace during the last quinquinnial period, Out of a possible maxim= uumber of votes of 139, Lady Aberdeen received no less than 121). In electing Mrs, OgilvieGordon, Scotland, First Vice -President, the Countil may paid a well-deserved compliment to the lady who has serv- ed them so well in the capacity of Honorary Corresponding Secretary, Mre, Ogilvie Gordon, who, by the way, is a cousin of Lady Aberdeen, is the pos. sessor of exceedingly high educational qualifications. .As a student under Prof. Ray lankester she won the gold medal for zoology and anotoney in 1890, end became a Doctor of Science of the Una vomiter of London in 1893. The Tiniver- sity of Munich awarded her the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1000, and she had the distinction of being the first woman upon whom that honor. was conferred. Her researches in the sci- ence of geology are well known and she has achieved further fame as a publicise, with the result that she was created a Fellow of the Linnean Soci- ety. Mrs. Ogilvie Gordon received 107 votes out of the possible 139. ONLY FOR' POLICE DUTIES. "Wherever local conditions render it possible, it is recommended that all National Peace Committees and peace organizations engage in earnest and continuous effort to bring about ' a proportionate limitation of armaments, leading toward the abolition of standing armies and navies beyond the necessary policing of land and sea, and that all such organizations within our national counoile be urged actively and intelli- gently to strengthen all 'efforts -which' are put forth in any country to aid its government in the substitution of legal for military methods of international ac- tion, and also to 'seek to secure the pro- tection to weak nations, and all unde- veloped peoples against exploitation by the strobger Governments, by guaran- teeing' an area of neutrality which shall permanently guard their interests, "Another method approved by our committee, but because involving pos- sible difficulties not submitted as a re- commendation, is that submitted by eFran Hainisdh, viz., that whenever a serious war -cloud arise in any country, immediately the Coundl of that coun- try, through its Peace Department, shall call a meeting for the purpose of saluting an appeal of the people to its Government to appeal p the Hague Court. The committee further submits by unanimous vote a fur- ther request that at each quinquennial session of the Council provision shall be made by the Executive for each of the questions of the propaganda which it has already voted. PETITION FOR PEACE. "By a unanimous vote the commit- tee have also approved of the circu- lation of a petition by the Peace Committee of the affiliated National Councils, wherever the National Coun- cil shall endorse this method of securing an expression of popular support of ideals towards which the Hague Con- ference and the International Court of Arbitration are working." In the committee, it is understood, the question of the redoetion of armaments en the principle recommended by the report' was one upon which discussion was free, and it was decided to postpone the consideration of the report by the Council until to -day in order that the re - pore might in the meantime, be trans- lated into French •arid German to en- able the delegates better versel in those languages than English, to give ib their consideratiou. THE WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC. The discussion of the repoet on the white slim traffic, submitted by Fro - ken Gad, came to at abrupt ted on a question of terminology. Froken Gad, as representing her committee, 'asked that the Council should immediately endorse a recominendatiot to retain the phrase that has beeoine infamous all, over the world, iond thereby vote down a proposal to adopt the phrase, The Traffip of Women." Proken Gad, he has devoted a large amount ef time and attmition to this grate evil in a outither of eoutitriceetook the view limb it would be unwise to make any change having regard for the fact that the pre- sent one had come to be aecopted as having particular and peculiar meaning "' throughout the diVilized Wald, There was tonsiderable diveraity of opinion eapressed, and upon this ques- tion the United States delegates were as outspoken as they were opposed. Miee Emily Janes. the ,organizing eteretary for Great Britain and Ire- land, opened the dismission by remind. Ing tbe Coufteil that the evil against which they had all act their faces was not by any watts confined to the,, so, celled white races. "It is extremely important," she seal, "that we 'should not forget the etalma of other women who are not dosed white. Them is A very ead traffic in Japanese woinen, arta we might to remember the other colors a* well as our own. It dots toe seen to me that the term' white slave' entire- ly convey e our wish to proteet all we - men." INTRODUCING INPAMV. "Women' leve traffic," Was sug- geeted by Dr. Martiedale, but in the opinion of a ecetion of the United States delegittee this did not go far enough. They particularly desired that • "Wave aimed be replaced, by "Immoral," and in furthering their contention alra. Elizabeth -11. Granule, New York, added that the term ."while, slave was & per- fect travesty. "In the Uulted States," she said, "we have all racesand nation- aliUes introducing very form Of Ilifileny, end Wo need a change to Ob.OW what we are .contending .Againsta' She was supported by Mrs. Spencer,. an officer of the Netional Vigilance Committee of the United States, while airs. Duna put the matter in the form of a aired resolution, ees has already been stated, the Amer - lean delegation was not at one •on the question. Miss Sadie Americen, New York, objected to the use of "immoral," basing her Argument 04 thO fOlUldIttitOl that the incorporation of any phrase indicating something which Was bad tended to weaken rather than strengthen their ease. "Traffic ia women," in her, opbrion, conveyed everything, but to. this Mrs, /alma objected that such a term might be Applied to the. employmeet of female laber to weed beets, whereas "lea moral" could not be misunderstood. Malty ittwas decided on the sug- gestion of the president that the discue- sion of the whole report should be left over toa private session of the Commit to be held on Friday night. UNITED STATES. WILL LAG. "The movement la so great and rapid that we cannot say width country wilt bo the next to give the suffrage to women in spite of what present eonditions may be," said Dr. Anna Howard Shaw le her report on that important subject,' "Still," she added,_ '"1 thoroughly agree that the United States, thegreat and glorious Republic, will probably be the last country to grant the franchise to wo- men for. state purpose% because we have more diffictilt problems than any e?untry to solve, YoueParliaments can gnre the franchise, but in the United States the question must be submitted to the people, and to every man, wise or otherwise, good or bad." Still she was glad to report that some progress had been made, and that in sonie cases the inunicipal franchise had been extended to women, Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand, however, lied lea the way in this matter, while the municipal fran- chise had, been granted to Denmark, and in Prance women could now vote in con- nection with and sit on trade boards„ The contention that women would not exercise tite. franehise if granted or the their intereet would amens° was amply disproved by what had poured in Aus- tralia.)whe-re in succeeding *dims ad increasing percentage of women had vot- ed In Italy, although the National Council had not adopted this poreien of the International CounciPs propaganda, te the last election the suffrage, goes - Lion had played ail important part.

The Colwell adopted the following resolutioe, moved by .Dr. Shaw, and seconded by Mrs. Ogilvie Gordon: "That the various National Oduncils be asked to draw up a report of the existing laws in their respective ouzo tries which deal with th.e •relatious• of women with the home, the municipality Ind the State; that the national reports shall be combined in an international re- port on the same lime as thenewly- nsued report on the health of the ea - ,ions, special attention being devoted to the simple wordinge of the various na- tional reports) so that th-ey may be es - 9y intelligible to all classes. The Execu- tive further recommends thatathe conn- ate international report be presented to the various Government aecompanied ,isr a letter from the International Celin- a of Women drawing- attention to the need for the betterment of many of these laws and the„desirability of women taking part in the delibeeatione on midi laws."

Senator Alarieh, the Republican load: me took it prominent part in this diseue- Won, einiracterizing this expedient as "medieval." Thi, be said, was no longer recognized ks awise method or Wild- ly* up •home industries. Mr. Aldrich quoted. a speech made by the Premier of Quebec:, ia which the Premier declared It to be the policy of the Provincial Gov- ernment to prohibit the exportation of pulpwood and wood pulp in order to build up the paper manufacturing indus- try at home. • "Ontario," Mr. Aldrich said, Thad al- ready taken steps to limit the shipment of pulpwood from the Province. If the plan of probibithig the exportation . of pulpwood and wood pulp should' be car- ried out, Mr. Aldrich declared., it would. greatly injure the paper industry in the United States. The prohibition in Que- bec would have a serious effect on the New England inills. QUESTION OF RETALIATION. Senator Curnentase of Iowa, asked Mr. Aldrich if the maximum andeminienum, it feature of the proposed tariff law, could not be invoked in I:eta/W.1,m against the effect of the restrictive measures inaugtrated in Canada, and the Republican loader replied that there was some doubt of this. He explained by saying that • before the maximum rate can be applied the president of the United Statesmust be •absolutely cer- (ain as the result of an investigation„ that a discrimination against this coun- try was intended. The restrietion Canada, Mr, Aldrich said, -might be so worded as .to apply ostensibly to all countries alike, while applying really to the United States only. TO MEET RESTRICTIVE MEASURES. Senator Aldrieh then made the highly significant statement that the Finance Conunittee would draw up an amend: went intended to meet - the restrictive measures of Conoda. An amendment offered by Senator Stone to -day placing paper and wood pulp on the free list was voted down withoutthe,formality of a roll call. Thus ended in a. fizzle the long agitation for free pulp. Senator Lafollette found himself for once supperting the Finance Committee. • NO FREE PRINT PAPER.

New York, Stine 20.-A cable de- spatch to the Herald from London says: Mr. Martin S. Itolman, who controls the newly -discovered process of converting finished iron into steel and who is in London, again, gavo correspondent some interesting details of the new process and its possibili- ties. "In it couple of weeks' time," he said, "I am going to arrange for it denististration to be attended by rep- resentatives from the world's largest nientifiteturere and numerous Government experts from several countries, to whom the possibilitiee of our protees will be explained.

"We can work up it fine razor blade out of iron, sliapmg and grinding it to the required form, and after this is all done we put the blade througb our steeling procese and convert it in- to the hardest kind. Steel blades pro - dined in, this. way are equal in every respect to the finest eneffield makes. "I firmly believe our process will revolutionize the whole steel business. Big furnace methods wifl be entirely superseded. I have tested the meth- od itt every possible way, and noted European experts have done the seine thine, and always with the most gratifying results.

"The best steel is tempered to sixtY• three points, We can. quite easily temper our steel to 243 points. This IS almost unbelievable, I admit, yet 11 18 quite true. "It is extremely likely that the Eng- lish rights to our process will be sold to Vickers, Son & Maxine, and other big firms of similar charactm are negotiating for the rights in ether countries." 4. 0 BOTH NOW DEAD •••••7•,••••• Constable Mortally Wounded, Shoots Burglar Dead, Had Fought With at Least Two Men in the Night.

Although the murder is supposed to hose been com- mitted on Wednesday, Juno 9, the exact cause of her death has never been ascertained. While the autopsy deter- miod that death was probably due to asphyxia, -whether she .was choked, smothereunder a pillow or drugged, or bound with ropes and left to die hor- ribly in the trunk is its much a mystery as is the whereabouts of Leung Lim and his pal, Chung Sing. Mr. Sigel, at his home, after return- ing fromUorenoreue, said that the fune- ral would not be held from the house. "The disgrace has been keen enough as it is, without having the funeral from here in front of a gaping crowd," he said, "Aly wife and I have aged ten years in the -hist week. Tide ehould be it lesson to young girls not to mix with other than their own people. I have not slept for row or five days, but news -that tIte. identification is certain I feel that can get a little rest. Funeral arrange- ments will be made to -morrow. But it will be a quiet funeral, and no one will knew anything about it but the mem- bers of the family, if I can avoid it." Aside from the positive identification of the body, there were few develop- ments in the case here to -day. Chu Gain, manager of the Port Arthur res- taurant in Chinatown, who was de- tained last eight as a material witness, was held without bail until Tuesday. He has admitted that he knew Elsie Sigel well and had incurred the enmity of Leung Lim and that both he (Chu Gain) and the girl had been threatened with death. ile will be sweated by the police before he is released. ONE WOMAN'S THEORY, Theories as to exactly how and why the. girl was reutdored are plentiful. One woman, Mrs. E. Smith, who tiro - feasts to have known the family well, oven suggests that the victim is rot Enie Sigel, but a mysterimie Who has figured in Leung Tim's love affairs. Mrs. Smith holds that 'it is possible she and the Chinese were peeparing to elope when Nellie *site ed, created it :sew and Was killed.

Three Aeronauts Had a Narrow Escape From Death, Boston, June 'e;,', -Descending at the rate of 2,000 feet per minute from a height of two miles in the air, Prot- essor William H. Pickering, ie Har- vard scientist. had a narrow escape from deatn yesterday, when the big balloon, Massachusetts, iu Which Ito and two companions were trying to roach Canada, making scientific in- vestigations in the upper atmosphere, 'suddenly struck an adverse current and,began a record descent. The fall was, eheeked by throwing overboard all the ballast ',and everything of weight, and the balloon's mad dash was stopped when the basket was only six feet from th.e peak of Mount Kil- lington. The ascent was made yesterday morning at Ruthland, Vt., in an at- tempt to pass over the mountains to 'Canada. With Professor Pickering was Billy Vansleet, pilot, and J. B. Benton, of Boston. "At first we did not know that we were falling," said Professor Picker- ing., "the first knowledge we had of our peril was when we saw the trees below rapidly shooting up to meet us. The experience was int -resting, as showing that our knowledge of air currents at high altitudes is still in- complete," . The final landing was made in Gil- manton, N. H., early in the afternoon in, a 45 -mile gale; fences were torn down by the drag ropes, and the pro- fessor and his companions bad a thrilling but safe landing in a bog. 4 e • BOOKIES GOT OFF. Law Legalized Such Betting Said the Magistrate. Toronto, June al. -Magistrate Kings- ford this morning dismissed the charges of keepineb a common gambling house against 44bookmakers who were in at- tendance during the recent Woodbine meet. The ground on which the charges were chiefly based was that the bookies did not keep moving while making bets, as it is held they are requiredlo do un- der the recent interpretation of the law. The Magistrate, in dismissing the cases, said the law legalized the betting such as the bookies carried on during the meet. If it was desired to stop it, then it eves for the Legislature to take ac- tion by passing a necessary act. Ite• Ross Rifle at Bisley.
