LONDON, Dec. 12. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) A number of
women conspicuous In London society have
been In America recently and ara Juit re
turning home after vlrlts which have been
ao ahort as to causa comment concerning
th reason. That New York society was to
be captured by English women was loudly
heralded a few months ago, when It was
announced that certain women of beauty
and fashion were preparing to spend the
winter In the United States. The society
papers referred to It as retaliation for the
invasion of Europe by the American glrL
It Inspired even the caricaturists and pro
voked Harry Furnlss' famous ertoon in the
Queen, the leading woman's paper. In which
Eng.lsh women were depicted appealing to
Mr. Chamberlain for a protective measure
agslnst the American women who come to
England and carry off all the good matches,
-U la made to appear that the American
man did not appeal to the English visitors
In New York, either aa posMble husbands
for themselves or their kinswomen, or even
as cavaliers.
"Tha American women are splenlid. They
are beautiful, refined and well dreaaed
Wi are madly jealous of them for ao
thoroughly defeating us at home, but we'll
acknowledge their good points neverthe
less," said one of those returning visitors
to the World correspondent. "But the men

"One would meet In a whole day and
night only one or two who would be called
gentlemen In the English sense. ' Most of
them have some trade or other which they
acted ridiculously snobbish about and tried
to .conceal from us; but their manners
were so completely middle das that any

calls And billet-doux every day, their boxes
f expensive flowers and sweets, their
stream of Invitations. They were ao very
familiar they ware horrid; they took all
aorta of liberties with you If you were
slmDlv ctvll to them.
Another woman confessed that she did
not admire American men, observing:
found them very Insignificant, very bour
geois. We attended Uie New York horse
show snd I was fairly aBtounded that New
York fashion could not show more men
who were well dressed and who appeared

common crowd. But In the promenade you
could not pick out the men of the 'four bun.
dred.' Borne of the gentlemen rode or drove
their own horses In the ring, but for the
life of me I could not tell the difference
between the owners and their Jockeys.
Harry Lehr as a leader In society called
forth some sarcaatle remarks. "Imagine
g man who came apparently from no one
knows where and who supports himself by
Inducing his friends to buy a certain brand
of champagne tor their dinner partlea. a
man with a highly effeminate voice and a
ludicrous imitation of a French ahrug being
the leader of society, ranking along with,
Mrs. Astor, a great lady In every sense of
tha word. It is ridiculous, but it ehows
the scarcity of real gentlemen In New York
society." .
Hero Is a Proper Roast.
, Here la still another woman's opinion
"What do I think of the American men
we met?
"Well, I thought they were vulgar, un
educated In the things of society, stoop
shouldered, ubd-rsized and mere dwarfa in
' comparison with our stalwart, straight
Englishmen. They think If they nave a
million or two they are aa good aa anyone,
and society seems to think ao, too. We
shall never forget the millionaire who asked
us to lunch with him at a certain Cayaf.'

One woman displayed rare enterprise In

LONDON. Dec. 12 (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) A friend of
Lord Kitchener, who has Just returned
from India, reports that the famous gen
eral Is as much a woman-hater at heart as
ever. In spite of the stories published In
Europe and America that he was likely to
marry soon. y
'There Is only one unmarried woman
among all I ever met who didn't try to
marry me," said the general, sarcaattca ly,
to his friend. "That was Miss Minnie Tra
cey, the American singer."
Miss Tracey met General Kitchener sev
eral years ago when he was stationed at
Cairo, and she waa singing there In grand
opera. It was In the beginning of the mad
feminine campaign for the noted man's
heart and he swore long and loudly against
all womankind. But he was much struck
by Miss Tracey's unassuming, simple man
ners In society, no less than by her beauti
ful voice. When she declined to receive a
casket of Jewela certain young men of
Cairo offered her, Lord Kitchener sought
an Introduction and gave several dinners
in her honor during the Cairo season, aa
he discovered that she wae not advertising
the fact of his attention and took It In the
spirit it was given, which did not Include
an offer of marriage.
In London last year, when Lord Kitchener
waa at home and Miss Tracey was giving
a series of concerts there, he went out of
his way to be agreeable to her and tried to
Induce her to go to India on a concert
tour.
Miss Tracey Is a tall, statuesque bru
nette. Her mouth Is especially beautiful
and calls forth much enthusiasm from
artists. She Is a New 1'ork girl and be
longs to the aristocratic Lorillard-Spencer
family. Her relatives made strenuous ob
jections when she chose a musical career
and for that reason her chief triumphs have
been won In Europe. She Is a great favor

land and Sweden. She makes her home In
Paris, where she Is In the exclusive St.
Germain set, which Is not often opened to
Americans. Mr. Conried made her an offer
to alng In New York this winter, when he
was in Europe last summer, but It was not

I'nlon Fined for Contempt.
CHICAGO. Dec. 12 One thousand dollars
fine for Illegal acts as a corporate body was
imposed upon Franklin union No. 4, Press
Feeders, by Judge Jeese Holdom today.
The court found tha union as a corporation
guilty of contempt of court for violating
an injunction restraining it as an organi
sation from Interfering with the business or
employes of ten printing firms, members
of the Chlcrgo Typothetae. Judge Hol
dom's action creates a precedent. It being
the first time In the history of trartoi
unionism In this country that a court has
fined a union as a corporation. An tmme
dlate appeal was taken.
In his opinion Judge Holdom said:
There has been no discrimination between
the sexes. Women have been assaulted anri
terrorized, and followed to their homes and
their families Intimidated. Murder has
even resulted from the unlawful acts of the
union and Its striklns- members. From am.
davits In evidence In this case It apears
that more than fifty people have been xtnee
tne inception or the dlmcultles set forth In
trie mi!, assauitmi. intimidated, called op.
urobiious epithets and threatened with
narm because they worked In a nlace vol
untarily ve-ated by member of the Frank
itn union no. 4.
Further along the court says:
It would seem from the evidential fact
tnat tne action or the union In the eatab
llKhlng of strike headquarters, the pay men
of strike benefits at strike headuuarter
by the union treasurer with union money
snd the fact that no discrimination waa
made against members of the union known
to be guilty of acts in themselves criminal
establish tha union aa a co-conspirator with
Ita offending members, party and privy to
toe violations or the Injunction of which
some of lis members stand convicted, and
la guilty of violation of Injunction and
amenable to aisclpllae for sum violation,
providing It can be disciplined under tha

lican r.atiunu! committee reaching this con- -
cluvion tuday and adjourning subject to
cull. Pittsburg uud St. Loula were rivals
of Chkago for the convention. Each city
was well represented in oratory before the
committee und each sisu had cash offers to
make. Pittsburg offered I11X,(MJ. Chicago
$75.UU0 and a ball, and 8t Louis MO.0W) and a
hull. The vote stood 43 for Chicago, 7 for
Pittsburg and 1 for SU Louis. The work of
tho committee was harmonious throughout.
Its open session, today was attended by
many republican members of the house.
Several minor questions were referred to
special committees.
Included In this list waa the representa
tion asked for by Porto Rico, Hawaii and
Luzon, the socialistic problem and the
poll t let 1 rights of the negro.
A committee, headed by Senator Scott of
West Virginia, was named to make all ar
rangements for the convention. Senator
Hanna dined the committee at the Arling
ton hotel thlii evening.
Pnrto Rico Asks Recognition.
It v.&8 10:30 c'clock when C.-.alrman
Hanna called the republican national com
mittee to order and announced tihat there
were two Porto Rlcans present, represent
ing the republican party on that Island.
He said they would be given a hearing.
Communications were read by Secretary
Heath from the federal and republican
parties of Porto Rico, both claiming repre
sentation on .the committee. Mayor Todd
of San Juan, representing the republican
party, then appeared before the commit
tee and gave a brief history of that party,
which, ho said, was esUbllshed In July,
1899. The federal arty waa established
some time after this, he said. Each party
Is represented by two r&embers in the
iocal senate. His party, he stated, controls
68 000 of 131,000 registered votes. The aim
o! this party was to Americanise the
Island and stand by tne administration.
Porto Rico, he said, would like to be
represented in the next repuoilcan ra
tional convention. . ,
Joao Biiooo, also representing the repub
lican party, followed Mayor Todd. He
emphasised the good that It would do the
party to be given recognition by the com
mittee. He declared that the party "Waa
coming anyway" to the convention. Chair
man Hanna aald that further esnslderstion
of the. matter would be :n executive ses
sion. Plead tor tho Cities.
8. P. Raymond of Chicago was recog
nized to speak in behalf of that city. He
said Chicago had not secured the last con
vention, but meant business this time. It
would be sixteen years since Chicago had
had a republican convention and It waa
about time for the republicans to return
to the city which was naturally located tor
holding a convention. George R. Beck ad
vocated Chicago as being geographically
well situated for the convention.
R. C. Kerens, member of the committee
from Missouri, announced that St. Louis
was desirous of gnttlng the convention. He
Introduced ex-Mayor C. P. Walbrldge, who
aald St. Louis had been giving the repub
lican party a majority so long that It had
the "habit." He said the city had made
Its business proposition In writing. Chair
man Hanna remarked that business propo
sitions would be taken up In executive ses
sion, Mr. Walbridge reviewed the record
of the republican party In Missouri, saying
that the state had more republican votes
than any state west of the Mississippi river.
In twenty years the vote of the party had
Increased 105 per cent. These facts, be de
clared, deserved consideration.
Former Representative Nathan Frank. '
chairman of the St. Louis convention com
mittee, and Walter B. Stevens, secretary
of the Louisiana Purchase exposition, a'so
spoke.
Senator Penrose responded to the call of
Pennsylvania In behalf of Pittsburg. "Thsy
are here with the entrance fee," he de
clared, "and they make no disguise about
It. It Is IiOO.OOO, and If that Is not enough
they are willing to make It 1500.000."
Mr. New of Indiana then presented reso
lutions of regret upon the death of mem
bers of the committee, which were adopted.
Lpon motion of Senator Penrose a reso
lution was adopted which expressed the
sense of the committee In favor of a fitting
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of
the birth of the republican party to be held
at Norrtstown. Pa.
Will Investigate Socialism.
The executive Session occupied an hour
and forty minutes. The first business taken
up was the question of admitting delegates
to the convention from Porto Rico. The
matter was irterred to a committee con
sisting of H. C. Payne, N. B. Scott. J. H.
Galllnger, F. E. Murphy and D. W. Mul
vane. The committee has power simply to
make the recommendations to the conven
tion, but enn report as to Hawaii and
Luzon as well.
Socialism na.a politics! factor Is to be In
vestigated by a committee, which also is to
take up the question of guaranteeing lbs
rights of the negro citizens. The commit
tee consists of George R. Sheldon of New
York. Myron T. Herrlck of Ohio. J. E. Ad
dlcks of Delaware, J. G. Capers of South
Carolina and J. W. Lyons of Georgia.
Mr. Capers stated to the committee that
his right to sit as a member of the com
mittee had been questioned. Chairman
Hanna replied that under a resolution
adopted at the last convention no one could
question his membership. The protest
smlnst Capers was laid on the tsble.
The question of selecting the city In
which the convention Is to be held waa
then taken up. St. Louis filed a written
jus ran tee of Ito.ftfo In cash snd the free
us of a hall. For Chicago Graeme Stewart
stated that he was tinsware. snd the citl
rens of Chlcsro were unaware, that a writ
ten gusrantee was necessary and neces
sarily hsd none to offer. However, he
would give his personal guarantee for "P3..
