BERLIN, Juno 29. In tho comploto ab
sence ol political topics of Interest this
week, tho Kiel regatta attracted unuBual
attention. To everybody's ureal surprise
tho best results were achieved by German
lnlnnd-bullt yachts.
Tho Emperor William prize, for Instance,
was won by a yacht which, until this com
petition, had only sailed on Lnko Wannscc,
near Merlin. Several French yachts par
ticipated, uno of which, tho Arcachou of
Bordeaux, sailed by the Viscount do Cur
zny, won one of tho first prizes. Two
American yachts which woro in tho race
won no prizes,
Emperor William had hard luck all tho
way until ho won the first prize with the
empress' yacht, tho lduna, In tho race
for special claHs yachts. Tho lduna is
Engllsh-bullt, whereas Its competitors,
Siimoa 1 and Samoa II, were built In
Germany. Tho cmporor steered tho latter
in tho earlier race and mado a poorv rec
ord. The emperor's yacht, the Meteor, also
turned out badly. During tho first halt of
tho regatta season, however, tho ynchts
were almost without wind and somo of tho
boats were becalmed for hours. Yesterday
brought a spauklng breczo for tho Kiel to
Eckcrnfncrdo race. Tho lduna, having been
reconstructed with tho main Idea of making
It a safo boat In rough water, though
slower, gave tho emperor a great advan
tage over tho yachts. Tho lduna mado
forty knots In threo hours and ulno min
utes. Tho yacht Is now considered so safo
that tho cmprcjs has decided to tako n
crulso in It shortly in tho Baltic, with her
youngor children.
Whllo tho emperor's nowest Gorman and
Kugllsh-bullt yachts proved disappointing,
Admiral Kocstcr's Tho Komot, which was
tho emperor's former yacht Meteor re
christened, took tho largest number of
prizes, two first and two seconds.
Concede Yankee Superiorly.
Tho Cologne Gazette referring to the cm
pcror's order for an American-built yacht,
explains in apologizing mnnner, that bis
majesty has expressed tho opinion that tho
Americans wero ahead of tho British and
Uerraans In yacht building.
Tho Cologne Volks Zeltung discusses tho
question whether Germany will havo a
Ilallln program. Referring to Emperor
William's recent attentions to Ilerr Ilallln,
director of tho Hamburg-American lino,
tho paper points out that thora is n grow
ing belief thnt tho chancellor, Von Uuelow,
wants an agrarian policy, whllo his maj
esty prefers Ilerr Dallin's policy of greater
friendliness toward foreign trade.
Tho Voiles Zcltung Instances the United
States to show that Germany has tho right
to exact better conditions from foreign
countries in tho revision of tho German
tariff and complains of tho United States
throwing increasing quantities of agricul
tural produce upon tho .European markots,
"whllo tho Yankees do not think" of giving
us tho equivalent."
Tho paper quotes recent United States
consular reports as showing tho progress
American manufactured goods are making
in Germany, concluding with saying it Is
"really undesirable that things should con
tlnuo so."

LONDON, Juno 20. (New York World

tion among social authorities whether It
would ho tho right thing to accept and It
wag not until It bocamo known that ono

the season.
It was with nmuscmcnt that tho guests
on their arrival watched curiously for n
repetition of last year's Ilcrke'ley-Mllno
Incident, but all wont on merrily as a mar
riage bell.
Tho houso Itself Is a palaco. a verltablo
garden ot sweet blossoms, with tall, tow

tnirs all the evening nnd tho great dining
hall, with Its heavily laden supper tables,
was a medley of beautiful flowers.
Padorowskl was tho great nttrnctlon.
with Melba, Kubcllk and M. Marccchel
from Paris. It Is estimated that the music
cost Mr. Astor J1G.000.
Tho party began with a dinner of fifty

of Montrose, tho enrl and countess of
Powys, tho earl and countess of Aberdeen,
the innrquls nnd marchioness of Water
ford, Lord and Lady Ilothschlld nnd Lord

families came after tho dinner.
Mrs. Ogden Mills has been 111 In Paris
with a slight attack of appendicitis. Her

morod Impending engagement of Winston
Churchill to his second cousin, Lady Helen
Stewart, only daughter of tho marquis of
Londonderry, a wealthy mlno owner. Lady
Helen Is n flno looking girl, with a great
talent for nctlng, and no man who has ap
pcarcd In Ilrltlsh politics In twcnty-flvo
years has given such promise of futuro
distinction as Winston Churchill.
Pastor Newell Uwlght HUlls of Plymouth

conformist dlvluo, is bis friend.
Mrs. James llrown Potter consented to
deliver a recitation from the pulpit of
Gorlcston church at tho Invitation ot the
vicar, Forbes Phillips. This rather origi
nal clergyman is a handsomo, muscular
man, who promotes dancing among his con
gregation as an aid to grace. Whllo stay
ing nt Mrs. Potter's houso at Taplow he
hoard her dnclalm Pope's "Apostropho to
tho Soul," so often sung in the Wcsleyan
funeral servlco, and ho forthwith challenged
her to deliver it from his pulpit. Tho
challenge was Instantly accepted.
Thoro Is much Interest In tho reported
engagement of Mrs. Langtry's daughter
Jeauno to Hon. Ivor Guest, M. P., Lord
Wlmborne's eldest son. Lady Wlmborne
Is ono ot tho sisters ot tho Into Randolph!
Churchill and a grand dame. Her husband
Is a mllllbnalro Welsh coal and Iron mine
owner.
Tho match is regarded by tho Wlmbornes
as a mesalliance, but tho young peoplo
aver they will bring it oft anyway. Lady
Wlmborno Is a woman ot such strong
character' that It is belloved sho will con-
trtvo somo way to balk them. Jcanno
Langtry resembles her mother in figure
and general aspect. Though darker and
not so handsome, sho is considerably ad

Rudolph C. Lehmann, England's most
noted coach, speaks thus ot the respective
chances ot tho Pennsylvania and Ghent

cup:
"They nro oxponents of Btylos which not
only differ from each other, but aro en
tirely at variance with tho accepted canons
by which first-class English onrsmanshlp
has hitherto been guided. Victory for
either might means n serious blow to
theories which owo most of tholr weight
to tho rudo test of practical success. The
dofeat of Pennsylvania would probably glvo
tho death blow to tho stylo In which their
trnlnor Is practically tho last bellovcr In
tho United States. But tho Amorlcnn crow
linn already rowed on the practice courso
under fnvornblo conditions within fifteen
seconds of tho best tlmo over dono nt Hen

summer than when It rowed England's best
club within a few feet Inst year. There 1b,
theroforo, every rooBon for anticipating n
test which will bo as completo as pos
sible."
Pennsylvania's practlco performance at
Henlny havo greatly modified the first Im
proslon ot tho Henley oarsman that they
could not stay tho courso with their style
of rowing.

WASHINGTON PREPARES TO BE POLITE
Dc.opltc Recent Uiiplciisnntncss Uncle
Sum Proposes to Make No Wry
Kuccs Over Ch n it n from
China.
WASHINGTON, Juno 29. Tiro Stnto de
partment has received a dispatch from Mr.
ltockhlll at Pekln saying that Prluco
Chuan, brother of tho emperor, sails for
Germany July 20 on a rpcclal mission. Ho
will return by way of America and la ex
pected to reach this country enrly In Oc
tober. Tho special mtsBlou Is probably to
npologlzo to tho German government for
tho murder of Its minister nt Pekln and
other ludlgnltles to Its citizens thoro.
HIb coming to America Is regarded as a
particular mark of distinction.
Tho trip of Prlnco Chuan to Germany
and America will be the first event of that
kind on record, ns It is an unbroken tra
dition of China that tho members of tho
Imperial family shall remain within the
boundaries ot tho empire.
It had not been known up to this tlmo
that Prlnco Chuan would como to this coun
try, as tho advices reaching tho Chlncso
legation heio Indicated that ho would re
turn tho other way. For that reason tho
legation officials havo mado no arrange
ment yet for) tho entertainment ot the dis
tinguished guest, but It Is presumed ho
will be quartered at the legation nnd
shown that high consideration accorded to
one of his high rank. As ho will not be
In tho United States on an official mis
sion, but merely returning through tho
country, tho United States may not feel
called upon to take cogntzanco of his Im
perial character, although doubtless every
proper consideration will be shown to the
visitor.
NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE FLAG
Department Attaches No Importance
to British Customs Incident
nt SkaRvrny.
WASHINGTON, Juno 29. The Stato de
partment has not received any representa
tion concerning the flag incident at Skag
way, whoro much excitement, is said to
havo been caused by tho hauling down ot'
a British customs ensign raised at that
point. Based on the press reports of the
affair, tho officials do not attach serious
importanco to the incident itself, though
It Is recognized that the matter might as
sumo importanco If tho raising- ot the flag
was au assertion of British sovereignty
ovor that locality. In that event there is
no doubt that tho State department would
tako cognlznnco of tho matter. But as It
stands, tho flag appears to be that of tho
customs office; for tho convenience of desig
nating whero customs may bo paid, and not
the British emblem Indicating any claim ot
sovereignty.
The modus vlvendl mado on October 20,
1899, between Secretary Hav and the Brit
ish chargo here established a provisional
line running somo distance north ot Skag
way, the summit of the Chllkoot Pass and
ot tho Whlto Pass, being the two main
trails In that locality. Reference to tho
official map Indicates that Skagway Is
clearly within tho American line according
to this modus vlvendl, also all tide water
of the Lynn canal. If a custom officer Is at
Skagway ho is thoro as a means of conven
ience of locating imports before they
reach tho wild region through which tho ac
tual provisional lino runs. Under such cir
cumstances It id felt thnt some tolerance
should bo shown on both sides. For tho
present no official attention will be glvon
tho Incident, as It Is not beforo the de
partment In any form.
OTTAWA, Juno 29. Tho Canadian gov
ernment authorities havo not heard full
particulars ot tho flag Incident at Skagway,
but arc Inclined to think that its Impor
tance Is exaggerated. The Dominion has
no customs houso or customs collectors at
that place. No customs duties for this
country are taken there, but the Dominion
mnlntnlns what is knbwn as a transit office
for tho examination of goods destined to
pass through the disputed Btrlp of territory
to tho Yukon district boyond, tho object bo
Ing to facilitate through shipments and to
prevent their being delayed at tho pro
visional boundary which laps halfway across
tho lino of tho Whlton Pass railway. Tho
Impression hero Is that n flag Is necessary
to tho business the oltlcer has to transact.

MAUDE ADAMSJN CONVENT

llcst Cure.
(Copyright, 1901, by Pres Publishing Co.)
PARIS, Juno 29. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) Maudo
Adaiim, who for several weeks has been
taking tho rest cure In a Catholic convent
at Tours, finally tired of the silence and
monotony of tho old monastery, bade adieu
to the nuns, with whom sho had becomo a
great favorite, nnd came back to Paris.
Today sho loft with n party of French
women friends for n leisurely tour of tho
beautiful Castllo region of Tourulnc. De
scribing her convent experience to the
World correspondent, Miss Adams said:
My life there wus soothing. None of the
concern which fevors humanity outside
penetrates thoso old provincial monasteries,
where tho time is passed in easy manual
work, study and prayer.
'My friends who hail arranged for my
ndmlsslon for tho rest cure concealed from
the mother superior tho fnct that I was
an actress, ns the dear nuns cntcrtnln many
strong, though Innocent prejudices, nmong
which Is a rooted belief that tho staee Is
directly connected with tho satanlc rnnlm.
"When I arrived I found that
posed to bo nn American hclro
heart's case, probably after somo tVrrlblo
lovo affair. But n fow days Inter I con
fessed my cnlllng. The nuns screamed In
holy horror, but mennwhllo I had grown
to bo a great pet with them nil', and thoro
was no thought of my expulsion, though the
sisters eadly deprecated tho fnct that such
n sweet creaturo ns myself should bo nd
dlcted to such awful work, and tried to
convert me, but I think I went rather tho
other way. However, I got them to vlow
stage llfo more sensibly finally nnd after a
few days thoy begged me, with mingled
feelings of fear nud curiosity, to rcclto for
them.
"Having to uso French, I was not at my
best, but tho nuns thought It was fine.
Thcso Impromptu efforts under tho vener
ablo chestnuts on tho lawn of tho convent
garden wero certainly my most pleasurablo
successes.
"I lived exactly as tho sisters lived. I
arose nt 4 o'clock, attended chapel till 0,
wonted in tho dairy until 7:30 and then
took n breakfast of milk, bread and straw
berries. I missed tho coffee terribly, but I
asked no favors. After breakfast I was
sent to 'tidy' tho lonely, bare, whitewashed,
narrow cell which I occupied, making tny
bed myself, shaking my llttlo rug nnd
s'wccplng tho floor.
"At 9 o'clock I reported with tho others
to tho mother superior and was assigned
sometimes to tho kitchen, where I canned
more strawberries and cherries than I ovor
will cat; sometimes to tho dairy, whoro I
learned to skim milk and mako excellent
butter; sometimes to tho garden, whoro I
picked fruit or flowers for tho altars.
"At noon wo gathered in the chapel for
a prayer, and afterward had dinner. Per
fect sllenco is compulsory in tho refectory,
nothing is heard in tho vast vaulted hall
except tho volfco ot a nun rending history
aloud. After that we walked silently
around the cloister till 1 o'clock, when each
retired to her own cell for study and
meditation. , fc -
"At 4 o'clock chan'el again, then house
hold duties, tho needle and garden work.
At 7 we had supper, lrugal, meatless and
silent; like tho noon meal. From dinner
until bedtime, 9 o'clock, was dovoted to
recreation. This was tho only tlmo dur
ing which nuns were allowed to converse.
"What lovely, lnnocont twilights I- en-
Joyed there under tho big chestnut trees,
surrounded by sixty saintly women, somo
young and somo old, but all so wholesome,
so kind.
"At 'midnight tho silvery bclf which
directs everything In tho convent sum
moned us out of bed tor nn hour nnd a half
for tho night offices. At first I found it
an awful strugglo to rlso thus after my
first sleep and dress and go through tho
long, weird corridors, peopled by silently
gliding figures going to chapel, but I loved
the beautiful night offices, with only the
dim light ot tho altar candles playing
among tho columns under tho lofty gothlo
arches and tho darkly outlined nuns In
their interminable, monotonously plaintive
chant begging God to forglvo tho wicked
ness ot earth.
"A fow weeks spent thus In absoluto
quiet, tho regularity and the slmplo food,
effected a complete change In mo physic
ally. My nervousness was gone and my
mind unfevered. Our parting was tearful.
Wo had grown mutually attached. But I
promised 'to return next summer,
"Whllo there I woro tho novice costume.
But I was slightly different from tho sis
ters, who had pronounced eternal vows,
and I deemed It useless to horrify my
sweet friends, tho nuns, by revealing tho
fact that I had disported myself publicly
all last season In tight breeches as tho
duko ot Relcbstad."

conicronco Committee of tho Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Stoel & Tin workers nud
tho American Sheet Steel company, which
has beeu In session hero, was unable to
rcush un agreement on tho wago scale for
tho ensuing year and adjourned Ilrmlly after
a st'ssluu of less than twenty minutes. Tho
Amalgamated association olilclals asked
that tho scale bo Blgued for all the union
mills, and tho manufacturers presented a
counter proposition not only refusing to
Blgn for all tho union mills, but stipulating
that two thnt woro Included lost year bo
excepted from the scnlo this year. These
mills aro tho Old Meadows plant nt
Scottdulo and tho Saltsburg, Pa., works.
The conference thou broke up and Presi
dent Shatter at ouco issued a strike order.
Tho strike will Involve all tho union sheet
mills in the country and about 20,000
skilled workmen.
SltnlTcr Tnke Ui the tiauiitlet.
When seen by a representative ot tho
Associated Press, President Shaffer said:
"The American Sheet Steel company signed
tho scale last year In all our union mills
except tho Woods mill at McKeesport. Dur
ing the year thoy took advantage of the
conditions existing at tho Scottdale nnd
Saltsburg plants to lead the workmen from
tho organization and now they offer to
sign tho scale at tho reduced number ot
union mills. Tho policy ot the Amalga
mated association under my administration
has beeu conservative and tor peace, but
now It Is merely a matter of which sldo
holds out tho longest."
When asked what tho strlko order meant,
ho said: "It's a fight. They threw down
tho gauntlet and wo took it up. That's
what It means."
A shutdown of tho union plants ot tho
American Sheet Steel compauy will Involve
nine ot tho largest sheot plants In the
country. Tho company operates a total ot
twenty-four plants, but the largest ot
thcso are tho organized establishments.
Tho Amalgamated association controls 65
per cent ot tho production ot tho company
and a long shutdown ot this proportion ot
its plants would mean au inestimable loss,
with the present crush of orders.
Notwithstanding President Shafftcr's order
it Is thought another effort will bo mado
next week to effect a settlement, an It Is
well known that neither sldo 1b anxious
for a protracted shutdown. Tho Amalga
mated olilclals would not object to a sus
pension of two or threo weeks for tho
reason that tho men aro worn out with
tho steady run ever slnco tho first of tho
year.

Nono ot the ofllcials ot cither side would
offer to mako a prediction as to the out
come ot tho conference. I. W. Jenks of tho

prnctlco will tnko placo will bo In tho lino
ot starts and bringing up of onr work.
With tho exception of tho slight Illness of
tho Wisconsin 'varsity crow tho men ap
pear to be In almost perfect condition. Tho
talk of stateness in Columbia 'varsity
eight docs not appear to bo borne out by
tho physlcnl condition of tho men. Every
thing is prepared for tho races on Tues
day. In tho morning about 11 o'clock Clin
ton Goodwin of tho clnss of 1903, Syra
cuse university, will row a mllo against
time and without any contestants.
Tho four-oared race will bo rowed, Penn
sylvania hnvlng tho Inside course naxt to
tho west Bhoro, Cornell tho outsldo course
and Columbia tho mlddlo course. This
rnco Is two miles and Is over the lowor
halt of the four-mile race. At 4 o'clock
tho freshmen raco will bo rowed, thero
bolng four entries for this contest. Cornell
gets the Inside courso on the west shore,
Columbia is noxt, Pennsylvania next to
Columbia nnd Syracuso on tho outside. Be
tween 5 nnd 6 In tho afternoon the" 'varsity
raco will bo rowed. There aro six entries
and all of tho crews havo bcon trained
to tho minute. Tho only suggostlon that
Is mado concerning tho rnco 1b that Penn
sylvania's second crew- docs not expect to
win It and that the courso is a trifle too
long for Georgetown. It Is thought It
will bo a beautiful raco between Columbia,
Wisconsin and Cornell, with Syracuso a
largely unknown, quantity. This latter crow
has been causing Bomo surprlso to tho
critics by Uh fast rowing and good form.
Tho only crow3 to venturo out In tho
Intenso heat this morning wero Syracuso
and Pennsylvania and both of thcso made
tho practlco short and easy. Tho mercury
was 99 and tho condition, of the water was
not so favorable as It has been for several
