The Immediate Release of Julio Sanguilly
Washington, D. C, Feb. 17. The Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations
gave the Sanguilly case careful consid
eration this morning, the subject com
ing before the committee -on the Joint
resolution of Senator Call, instructing
the President to demand the immediate
release of Julio Sanguilly with permls
slon to return to the United States.
The correspondence which has been
sent to the Senate .was thoroughly
gone over, but the committee finally
agreed to postpone action until tomor
row, so that the State Department
could respond to the committee's in-
tmlry as to whether there had been
any developments in the case since the
sending of the correspondence to the
Senate. The case appears, in the opin
ion of the committee, to be an aggra
vated one, and it Is understood that
the sentiment of the committee Is fav
orable to a recommendation for the
passage or :ur. cau,s resoiuuon.

hostile action on the part of Christian
insurgents and Greek troops in other
parts of the Island must cease at once.

Washington, D. C, Feb. 17. The first
session of the National Congress of
Mothers, which has attracted such
wide attention all over the United
States, was opened at the Arlington
Hotel at 10 o'clock this morning.
Rev. W. H. Milburn, of Washington,
the blind chaplain of the United States
Senate, delivered the opening prayer.
Mrs. Theodore Birney, president of the
congress, made the address or welcomej
Speaking of the objects of the congress
she said it was the culture of children
and mothers. The child question was
the one most worthy of attention, and
as this was the woman era when so
much arose to distract. women from the
care of their children, this congress
had taken upon itself to try to point
out the way in which children should
be brought up. The desire was that
the coming generation of mothers
should have a college education and a
general knowledge of the needs of
childhood, in order that they might
better be able to direct the footsteps
of the young.
In closing, Mrs. Birney said:
"This is no sex movement, but one
in which sons and daughters, fathers
and mothers should be Interested
alike."
Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson, of New
York city, responded. She spoke of the
good results of kindergarten work. Mrs.
Dickinson also neferred to the great
wrong often committed by fathers in
allowing the mother to assume all the
responsibility of rearing the children
when it was equally as important to
teach a child the ways of the world.
After Mrs. Dickinson s address the
meeting adjourned until 2:30 this af
ternoon.
Many distinguished women occupied
seats upon the platform, among" them
being Mrs. Adlal Stevenson, wife of
the Vice President; Mrs. Phoebe A.
Hearst, Mrs. William L. Wilson, Mrs.
Harriet A. McLean, Mrs. James H. Mc-
Giil, Mrs. Mary A. Mumford, Miss
Emma Morton, Mrs, A. A. Birney and
Mrs. H. M. Fuller.
Washington, Feb. 17. The crowd of
1,800 received by Mrs. Cleveland, grew
considerably before the hour arrived
for the afternoon session, and the large
banquet hall of the, Arlington was
found to be much too small.
Arrangements were quickly made for
holding the second session in the First
Baptist church, corner Sixteenth and
O streets. This edifice also proved in
adequate to accomodate the increased
number who sought to gain admission.
. The afternoon session began at 2:30
o'clock, the time being taken up ex
clusively with the delivery of address
es. The first was by Frank Hamilton
Cushing, of Washington, D. C, as to
"Mother and child of the primitive
world." Mr. Cushing Is professor in
