WASHINGTON , July 1. President McKrn-
ley today presented to the French ambassa
dor , M. Cambon , a superb stiver loving cup
in recognition of the ambassador's friendly
services In the negotiations which restored
peace between the United States and Spain ,
The beautiful testimony was sent by Secre
tary Hay to the French embassy , accom
panied 'by n. note from the secretary In
Which , speaking for the president , he exi
pressed sincere appreciation for M. Cambon's
considerate and disinterested services and
tendered the loving cup ns an evidence of
the. esteem felt for him.
The cup is of massive proportions and
chaste design and the International slgnlfn
cflnco of the gift Is shown In the blending
of the French and American coats of arms.
U elands about two and one-half feet high ,
with the top of the bowl about ten Inches
across. The outer surface Is silver , richly
embossed , while the Inside Is of hammered
gold. Around the outside of the bowl In
raised old English text runs the following
inscription :
"Presented by the president of the United
States to his excellency , .M. Jules Cambon ,
ambassador of Franco , In token of his [
friendly services in the negotiation of the ;
protocol of peace between the United States ]
and Spain , August 12 , 1S ! > S. "
The bo\yl is supported on the shoulders '
of three American , .e/iglos. / . These in turn
arc on n massive .Hllvcr . .pedestal , around
which circle , the 'thirteen stars , emblematic
ot the thirteen original states. The three
handles of the cup are pf myrtle leaves ,
symbolic of the peaceful offices which M.
Cambon performed. . On the three faces of
the cup , where 'the handles Join the bowl
appear the cout of arms. of France , with the
letters 11. F. ( Hepubllquo Francalse ) . ' j
The 'box In which the loving case Is enclosed - i
closed is another triumph of the jeweler's '
art. It IH of light blrdseyu maple , highly i
polished , with brass trimmings , bearing the !
monogram of the embnsaador. The Interior |
of the box is lined with crimson velvet and ;
the whole is enveloped In a sack of olive
velvet. Altogether the president's gift Is ono
of uncommon richness and artistic beauty.
When the gift and letter wcro received
at the French embassy M. Cambon was ab
sent , not having returned from his New Eng
land trip. Under the circumstances the let
ter remained sealed nnd the box unopened
until the ambassador's rctuin , which U ex
pected shortly. After receiving the degree
of LL. D. from Harvard ho went to Man-
chester-by-thC'IIud.son for n few day * , . The
president's gift will bo an entire surprise
tp him , and bo gratifying to him as well
for Its personal ns International significance.
The queen regent of Spain has also decoratoJ
the ambassador for his service in the pcaeo
negotiations.

LONDON , July I , ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The In
ternational Congress uf Women made little
stir In London. The height ot the London
Kcnson was an Ill-chosen tlmo for its meet
ing , ft was overshadowed by the social
attractions , by the Transvaal crisis and most
of all by the third test cricket match be
tween Kngland and Australia ; far and
away the dominating topic of the week In
the eyes of every true-born Hrllnln. The
pubic was not Interested , and the press
either Ignored the congress or printed the
mcagercsl accounts of the proceedings.
Finally , by an unhappy coincidence , on the
opening day of the congress the Invincible
conservatism of Kngllsh feeling concerning
woman's sphere and duty was forcibly dem
onstrated by the House of Lords rejecting
by a sweeping majority the proposal In
serted in the new London government bill
making women eligible as aldcrinau and
councillors.
But these drawbacks did nothing to damp
the ardor of the delegates. They are from
all corners ot the earth and arc Inspired with
new enthusiasm by actual contact with
workers In the same field throughout the
worhl , civilized or otherwise. This fact was
proven by messages given by the lending
delegates from all countries.
Susan H. Anthony \\rlteu : "The chief re
sult ot this cnngicss wKI be that women of
each different nationality will become ac
quainted with the work actually being done
by the women of every country- This leaches
women that their own nation is not the
only one In the world and that there are
other people besides 'me and my wife and
my son John and his wife. ' English and
Americans are apt to get swelled heads about
Ihclr respective countries nnd congresses
like this will tend to reduce them. "
Mrs. May Wright Scwall , vice president of
the concress , wrote : "I look for one su-
iremoly Important result of this congress.
It brings women of different nationalities
nto clcser sympathy and enables us to
oln hands in promoting the large prin
ciples In which we all believe we have been
able to demonstrate , for example , that cn-
ightcncd women in all countries are in
'avor of international arbitration.
A Hindu lcl < 'BHl < - .
Mlf-H Mary lilior , a Hindu delegate at-
ircd in the native costume , was one of the
most picturesque and strange figures in the
longress. She is a daughter of a wealthy
llndu , and , being educated In England ,
speaks English well. She said : "My soul
s thrilled by discovering that women can

of advancement of the equality of the sexes.
This is the first congress I have attended ,
nit am cherishing the hope ot some duy
summoning such an assemblage In ludia to
condemn that terrible blot on our country.
the zenana system. Hut It takes long to
dispel the darkness behind the veil. "
Miss Shen , a pleasant Chinese woman ,
laughter of a liberal mandarin , who once
ran the risk ot his life for his opinions In
? ekln , writes : "Kemalo education will rc-
cclvu an Impetus from this congress. Al-
hoiigh you give us little credit for enlight
enment , the Chlmeso government has sent
me here and my report will bo circulated In
Shlna. The social position 'of women in
hlna is not deplorable , but their ignorance
s. The Chinese proverb teDs us that the
education of the children should begin
wenty years before it is born with the
mother. "
Mrs. Flora Annie Stcele , novelist , writes-
'I don't place much confidence In the result
of the congress itself. Action by resolution
s not a great dynamic force , but the combl-
latlon should bo a good nidus , as It were ,
or something definite. Wo must avoid
claiming special advantages for women. I
tear It done every day. It is Illogical. Wo
men should have no special privileges , as
hey stultify the definite place she has In
ho universe. She has a place of her own ,
fct her abldo In It. "
Frcnvli Woman' ) * Opinion.
Mile. Ibabellc Dogclot , a French delegate
of the Legion of Honcr , writes : "French
women are not In the habit of going out
of doors , but the congress teaches us French
lelcgates the Josh-ability of organization.
Jnce wo Mart we shall . .make'up for lost

vhen you have to hurry to catch a train
vhlch is already leaving the pi'iitform. The
esult will not bo Immediate. We are only
eating here. When we return to our homes
wo will digest what we have heard. "
Fran Maria Strltt , a German delegate and
president of the first women's legal defense
union of Dresden , says : "The congress will
result In an enormous Increase In the so
lidarity of women. The position of women
in Germany Is' greatly Inferior to that of
women In America and England , both as re
gards civil rights and entrance Into the pro
fessions. In Germany wo cannct become
doctors or even obtain degrees of science ,
but the light is breaking and this congress
wi''l help spread It. "
MBR | Mary Shaw , nctrees , and a delegate ,
wrote : "Wo Americans are apt to fancy
WP are further advan-ed In our views about
education nnd special rlshu of women than
people of other countries. This congress
shows UK wo are mistaken and we nnd wo
men reformers even In non-progressive coun
tries have been working along the same
lines and inspired by the name Ideals of
mutual helpfulness and sympathy. "
Mrs. Iledford Fcnwlck , founder of the
IlrltlBh Nurses' association , a delegate to the
Chicago exposition , writes : "This congress
means the emancipation of women , It will
bo of enormous educational value nnd It
meems 'that women wlir soon obtain vatco In
all elections. "
MillI'p Her SUI.TK , ,
The liveliest scene In the congress was oc
casioned by the reading by a deputy of the
paper contributed by Mre. Frances Scott ,
president of the Massachusetts society , In
opposition to the extension of the franchise
to women. The paper dealt with the history
of the suffrage movement In the eabtern
states Ritul Mra. Scott contended the fact
that supporters of the movement at the con
gress showed that they were favorable to
other demands of their sex. She submitted
that the franchise carried with it duties
which women wcro Incapable of performing
If they wished to retain'their places In the
social economy. There were manlfestatlpns
of Impatience AS these vle.ws developed , BCV-
e.ral women exclaiming. ! "j-uhblsh , " some
laughing Ironically and others getting up and
fcavlng the room.
.Mrs. Scott's paper went on to Instance
military service , police duty , jury duty and
membership of public bodies and congress.
U wound up by declaring that the acquisition
of the ballot was nqt so much denied by
men as precluded by nature , from whoso
dccUlcu woman could not appeal. This final
blow excited great Indignation , and hissing
was general , as the woman who read Mrs.
Scott's address resumed her seat. A warm
discussion followed In which Mrs. Scott found
practically no support and the women suf-
fraglMs had It alt their own way.
Madum Antoinette Sterling , the famous
soprano , aroused another ttorin by venturing
to defend men from some of the sweeping
charges brought against them. The demon
stration of hostility wag less open on this
occasion , but Madam Sterling could see that
the majority of her fair sisters regarded
her as wallowing In exterior dnrknets. To
me she- explained : "I merely wIMicd to
emphasize my view. We ought to rccognlza
the existence of nun In the universe. Women
acquire prejudices. They don't see all the

DlxNHf | riK < tloii Anion Aincrlcniift ,
Much dissatisfaction Is felt by the Amer
ican delegates to the International Congre s
of Women nt the way the meetings nro
managed. Nearly 300 of the brainiest nnd
most ptogretslvo women In America came
to London for the congress , some travel
ing 0,000 miles , yet they have been largely
Ignored by the officials , given Jew oppor
tunities to speak and the leaders have been
persistently snubbed by the conservative
section of the English managers , headed
by Mrs. Crelghton , wife of the bishop of
London , who tried to keep In the back
ground all the advanced women for fear of
offending English susceptibilities. Hev.
Anna Shaw was not given n single oppor
tunity to f'leak until almost the last day
of the congress , when her oratory electri
fied the congress. At the great suffrage
meeting the speakers Included five English
men , four English women nnd only one
American , 'Miss Anthony. Americans arc
Vigorously protesting against' the attempt
now being made to again elect an English
woman president of the International or

existence the two presidents have been

Lady Aberdeen president. The Americans
Fay under the rules Lady Aberdeen cannot
stand for election , as she was not properly
nominated. They want May Wright Sowell
to be chosen.
Dontli C'niiMCN lilooin.
Some gloom was cast over the American
delegation by the death of Mrs. Johnston ? ,
representing prison work in Massachusetts.
Mrsv Johnstone suddenly expired shortly
nfter" reading a paper before the congress.
Susan H. Anthony said : "No doubt U Is
Oinic.ult to make an International congress
ically International , for the ofilclals of one
land , cannot fully know the delegates from
arotber. The international congrefcs owes
Its inception to American women , for when
I visited England In 1S82 , Mrs. Stanton nnd
myself first proposed the Idea. I balleve
the congress has greatly aided the promotion
of n mutual understanding between the
vomon of different nations. The language
problem has been n difficulty to many Amer
ican delegates , for It has been toavd to follow
nil the continental delegates. We American
women are not , ns n rule , so well equipped
with , a knowledge of foreign languages as
ttie English. The congress showed mo that
while English women have made great ad
vances In recent years , the Americans have
yet. Jed in the van of progress. You must
remember ( lie congress represents not alone
suffrage women , but women Interested In all
kinds of work , philanthropic , social , relig
ious , Industrial. Many of them are not yet ad
vanced enough for n suffrage movement , but
wo regard them as all our children , for un
til we suffrage women organized there was
no woman's organization whatever. "
Anna Shaw said : "Tho whole arrangement
of the congress Is a convincing proof of the
vast anlount of trouble and work taken by
Ens'lBh ' | officialsto aid , strangers. Noltilng
has been .left undone- that could promote the
comfort of the delegates or smooth the prog
ress of the great gatherings , but I am con
vinced that it would have been better hai !
.the speaking been put In the ( lands ol
trained platform speakers rather than ex
perts on different subjects. Many experts
spoiled admirable papcis because they did
not knowthow to deliver them. The congress
affords encouraging prool that the women's
movement is not confined to America. The
congress reveals that altogether the great
ttiann In manner Is kindness. English
women are more conservative than Ameri
cans , and are apt to adopt an air of patron
age toward the American woman nnd nt-
tempt to instruct ber in things which the
American woman thinks she knows better
than her teacher. English women cannot
forget that wo nro tie daughter nation : she
fancies fhe still > has the maternal right of
patronage nnd Instruction. She thinks , too ,
that class distinction and social life may bo
used with Americans 'when dealing with
them. "

people to believe these were two people

something of a risk , as divorced people are

It Is different In the case of Americans or
foreigners whose antecedents are not so

Mr. Waldorf Aster's entertainments arc
still the talk of fashionable London , lie
spends royally , but somehow never In quite
the right way , and although so much monsy
Is thrown about In floral decorations and In
engaging the best opera singers , the house
always looks , comparatively speaking , com
fortless and bare and the concerts more like
public ones than private. He Is very' ob
stinate and never listens to any one's ad
vice. His social advisers freely predicted
he would not have sufficient men at his
ball last week and begged him to take some
names from some big hostess' list , but this
he declined to do. He even refused to al
low a'lady to bring a man friend on the
ground that he would never again have anyone
onein his house he did not know , which ,
however , is not strictly true , as the last
two Bwsons some amusement was caused
more than once by people receiving Invi
tations from , him direct without oven know
ing him by sight. One prominent public
man who is rather an Invalid was Invited
last week to his dinner as well as to his
dance. He wrote accepting for the dinner ,
but was no well enough to stay for the
ball , He received a curt reply to the effect
that the invitation must be entirely accepted

His party Tuesday was as usual lavishly
done. Paderewskl played and Ancona Bon-
nard and Plancon eang , as well as Melba ,
while the entertainment alone must have
been enormous , $2,000 for Melb.i , $3,000 Is
Paderowskl's price , Ancona and Bonnard
would each charge from $ . " 00 to $1,000 each ,
while .Sarah Bernhardt cost $1,500. Almost
the only people there who had not been
to his previous party were Mrs. Uoelet , who
was In half mourning , black and white ,
wore black anil white pearls , with Miss Goe-
let In white and Mrs. Mackay , who was
beautifully dressed , In black.

some time early next month. He has taken
a place in Scotland for a few weeks and
Mrs , Mackay will accompany him there , Mr.

mutual devotion Is Idyllic.
Ambassador Choato paid his first visit to
the House of Lords Monday evening , accom
panied by Senators Hanna and Lodge , their
Wives and Secretary White. They heard a
very Interesting discussion on the election
of women to the London municipal corpora
tion conn'II , a proposal which was finaHy
defeated In face of the support of Lord Salis
bury. The ambassador and the two tionators
wore deeply Interested In the proceedings ,
studying especially the personality of Salis
bury with marked attention. Senator Hanna
looked yellow and sickly , but ho subse
quently spent some time In the distinguished
strangers' gallery of the House of Commons ,
Ho was easily recognized from caricatures
In American papers.
While Ambassador Choato was sitting-
the galrlery of the House of Lords his re
markable resemblance to Sir Hobert Peel
was the topic of general observation by min
isters who remembered that statesman , the
famous free trade reformer. 'Tho similarity
of facial outline IB perfect and so Is the
shape of the head , but Peel was much taller
than Choate , and Peel was of cold , austere ,
reserved manners , the very antithesis of
America's genial representative. On this
subject n correspondent has written to the
press hero Elating that Choate has a con
temporary doppelganger. A well Known
London solicitor la Choatc's vcrllabfc double ,
which Is t > o pronounced that so soon as the
ambassador's portraits wcro circulated In the
li8tratcd | | papers lilu alter rgo was promptly
dubbed by his professional brethren the
"Honorable Joseph. " and by that cognomen
has ever since been distinguished. Having
doubles may bo advantageous or otherwise.

Issued Is that In whatever company the
vicereine may be no member of It phalt

The only theatrical novelties nf the last
week wcro the special matinees of Nance
O'Neill , when she playe.l "Leah" Tuesday ,
with McKee Rankln nnd a curious company
recruited from Americans In London. Crit
ics expresse.l agreeable surprise at her pcr ;
formance , several crediting her with nune
Intensity of emotional power than any
American actrcws yet scon here. Julio Rlmr ,
a music hall singer , and Carletou ot the
"Belle of New York" created Involuntary
amusement by attempting to play serious
parts with Impressivegravity. . The other
matinee was a trial performance at Terry's
theater of a new play called "The Wcnther
Hen , " with Madgo Mclntosh In the leading
role. The plot shows a restless wife who
decides to elope with her lover and ROCS to
the rendezvous with him and Is there per
suaded to change her mind. This is llio
same silly story as set forth In "Mars. "
Why Hertc Thomas and Granvlllc Darker ,
the authors of "Weather Hen , " felt Im
pelled to tell It again and why It should
meet with encouraging criticism are ques
tions not easy to answer.
Sydney Grundy's fertility as a provider
of attractions for leading' theaters Is quite
unrivalled. After "A Marriage of Conven
ience , " "Tho Silver Key1' and "The Muske
teers" the autumn season .promises three
moro plays from his pen In rapid succes
sion. Mrs. Langtry will make her reappear
ance in September at the Haymarket In a
new Grundy play yet unnamed. This will bu
Followed at the same theater by Grundy's
"Black Tulip , " with Winifred Km cry nnd
Cyril JlnXidc , and in January George Alex
ander announces a production of another
Grundy play , "In Honor Bound. "
Rejanc witnessed the performance of Pl-
ncro's "Gay Lord" the other day nnd was so
Impressed with the part of the manicure
girl that she will have the work translated
Into French for her own use. Negotiations
are now afoot and Londoners are elated nt
the Idea of turning the tables on the French.
Rcjane had announced a sort of London sea
son , with "Zara" as the chief novelty , but
she was obliged to abandon H , the reason
given being that Charles -Krobman , who
holds the English rights to "Zaza , " would
not allow her to appear. Mrs. Potter nnd
ICyrle Ilellew have been engaged to play the
leading parts In "Ghetto , " which is to bo
produced at'the Comedy theater in Septem
ber. This Is not Zangwill's play , but n
: ranslatlon from the Dutch of Herman Hyor-
man. The story shows a Christian glrr
iiarrlcd to a young Jew , who'keeps ' the mar-
rlngo secret for /car of his father's angor.
Ills father , loams the. truth and sends the
son away on a pretext nnd persuades the
Christian girl ho Is never coming back ,
whereupon she drowns herself. All the char-
icters except the girl arc Jews. Meanwhire
Mrs. Potter's place in Tree's company will

BUFFALO , July 1. A variety of subjects
which bad been discussed in cnucus were

National Social and Political conference.
There was a preliminary talk on "Is a New
Party Needed ? " In the course ot which.
Joseph R. Buchanan , chairman of the press
committee , further explained his referendum
reform plan.
John S. Crosby ot New York was chosen
chairman of thu day. The first topic , "Civil
Service , " was introduced by Charles H.
Wheeler , formerly chairman of the Buffalo
civil service commission. iMr. Wheeler ad
vised reformers to work for the merit sys
tem at their homes. Ho thought President
McKlnley had gene too far In exempting
4,000 employee ! from the operation of clvlt
service reform ,
llohn S. Crosby discussed "Direct Legisla
tion. " He had , ho said , been brought up to
revere the constitution , but cxpcrlonr.n had
led him to believe that the constitution was
a great thing in the way of the right
thing. Ho admired the way people In Can
ada could any day In the week got rip anil
do what they wanted. Ho' raised a. laugh
by calling Governor Roosevelt' Intelli
gent a man as you have among your edu
cated classes. " Ho had no patience with
the men who sit on the bench "dispensing
with Justice" who spend the night In gam
bling houses nnd next morning send men
