Institutions t Agninst the Spren K rles, BERLIN, June 20.—In the complete ab- sence of political toples of interest this week, the Kiel regatia attracted unusual attention, To everybody's kreat surprise the best results were achieved by German inland-bullt yachts, The Emperor Willlam prize, for instance, was won by & yacht which, until this com- petitlon, had only sailed on Lake Wannsce, | near Berlin. Several French yachts par- ticipated, ene of which, the Areachon of Bordeaux, salled by the Viscount de Cur- | zay, won one of the first prizes. Two| American yachts which were in the race | won no pri Emperor Willlam had hard luck all the | way until he won the first prize with the | empress’ yacht, the Iduna, in the race | for special class yachts. The Iduna is | English-built, whercus competitors, | Samoa 1 and Samoa 11, were built fn Germany. The emperor steered the latter in the earlier race and made a poor, rec- ord. The emperor's yacht, the Meteor, also turned out badly. During the first half of | the regatta season, however, the yachts were almost without wind some of the boats were becalmed for hours. Yesterday brought & spanking breeze for the Kiel to Eckernfaerde race. The Iduna, having been reconstructed with the main idea of making it a safe boat in rough water, though slower, gave the emperor a great advan- tage over the yachts. The Iduna made forty knots in three hours and nine min- utes. The yacht s now considered so safe that the empress has decided to take a cruse in it shortly in the Baltlc, with her younger obildren, While the emperor's newest German and English-bullt yachts proved disappointing Admiral Koester's The Komet, which was the emperor's former yacht Meteor re- christened, took the largest number of prizes, two first and two seconds. ° Concedes Yaukee Superiority. The Cologhe Gasette, referring to the em- peror's order for an American-bullt yacht, explains in apol zlng manner, that his majesty has expressed the opinion that the Americans were ahead of the British and Germans in yacht bullding. The Cologne Volks Zeltung discusses the question whether Germany will have a Ballin program. Referring to Emperor ‘Willlam's recent attentions to Herr Ballin, director ot the Hamburg-American line, the paper points out that there is a grow- ing bellef that the chancellor, Von Buelow, wants an agrarian policy, while his maj- esty prefers Herr Ballln's policy of greater friendlin toward forelgn trade. The Volks Zeltung instances the United States to show that Germany has the right to exact better conditions from foreign countries in the revision of the German tarift and complains of the United States throwing Increasing quantities of agricul- tural produce upon the European markets, “while the Yankees do not think of giving us tho equivalent.” Tho paper quotes recent United States consular reports as showing the progress American manufactured goods are making in Germany, concluding with saying it is “really undesirable that things should con- tinue so." Reterring to the Chinese attempts to se- cure the evacuation of Shanghal by the for- elgn troops, after the evacuation of Pekin. the Lokal Anzelger says the evacuation of Shanghal s not to be thought of, since the garrisons are absolutely necessary for the foreigners there. The well known chemist, Clausen, who, while experimenting with Roentgen rays, burped his hand so badly that the ampu- tation of a finger and theu of the arm was nocessary, has died from paralysis of the lung; Rugslan detectives have been semt to the principal German universities, including the University of Berlin, to watch for at- tempts to spread the nihilistic propaganda among the Russian students. Mme, Modjeska is visiting relatives In the province of Posen. She s going to Kissingen and will return to the United States in August for a starring tour. The American colony will celebrate Inde- pendence day at the American church. its KAISER IN HIS NAVAL RIG Willlam Talks Much of Yachts and Narrowly Scans Cheering (Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, June 29.—() York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Emperor Wil- llam is enjoying himself immensely at Klel. He takes active interest in the numerous regattas in the neighborhood and arouses enormous enthusiasm wherever he goes. His majesty went to Kiel provided with an extensive nautical wardrobe, but his fa vorite turnout in the morning is white can- wvas shoes and trousers, white flannel shirt and blue serge jacket, with encrmous giit buttons stamped with the imperial crown. On board the empress’ yacht Iduna he lives etretched out in an Indian chair, smoking a huge cigar, or, more frequently, & short briar pipe. In the afternoon he gets into his naval rig and goes aboard the yacht Hohenzollern, where he is suppesed to work hard for three hours. The evening is usually spent In naval undress at the club. He drops in unexpectedly and unan- nounced. Large quantities of beer are drunk on these occaslons, the kalser always drinking pllsener and keeplng up an incessant cons versation on the merits of the various s Publishing Co.) ew York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—When fnvi- tatlons were {ssued for his concert by Wil- Nam Waldorf Astor it was & mooted ques- tlon among social authorities whether it would be the right thing to accept and it was not until it became known that one or two great leading social lights had ac- cepted that the rest, like sheep, followed in their train. The result was that the entertainment was one of the successes of the season It was with amusement that the guests on thelr arrival watched curiously for a repetition of last year's Berkeley-Milne incident, but all went on merrily as a mar- riage bell, The house ftselt is a palace, a veritable garden of sweet blossoms, with tall, tow- ering palms. Gottlieb's band played down- atairs all the evening and the great dining hall, with its beavily laden supper tables, was a medley of beautiful flowers. Paderewski was the great attraction, with Melba, Kubelik and M. Marcechel from Paris. It Is estimated that the muslc ost Mr. Astor $15,000. The party began with a dinner of fifty covers, among the guests being the duchess of Montrose, the earl and countess of Powys, the earl and countess of Aberdeen, the marquis and marchioness of Water- ford, Lord and Lady Rothschild and Lord | and Lady Currie. Mrs. Ronalds was mag. nificent in black embroidersd with white, with a superb diamond necklace and coro- net. With the exception of the Buccleuch con- nectlon, representatives of all the smartest families came after the dinner Mrs. Ogden Miils has been {1l in Parls with a slight attack of appendicitis. Her daughter has been staying with Mrs. Cav- endish Bentinck and having a gay time in London society, where she excites much in- terest. She has now gone to join her mother, who, however, is reported much better. Soclety 1s greatly Interested in the ru- mored impending engagement of Winston Churchill to his second cousin, Lady Helen Stewart, only daughter of the marquis of Londonderry, a wealthy mine owner. Lady Helen is a fine looking girl, with a great | talent for acting, and no man who has ap- peared in British politics years has given such promise of future distinction as Winston Churchill. Pastor Newell Dwight Hillls of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, who is taking a hollday in Europe, will make his only appearance in a pulpit during his trip at Westbourne Park at a Baptist church July 14. The pastor, Dr. Ciifford, a leading English non- conformist divine, Is his friend. Mrs. James Brown Potter consented to dellver a recitation from the pulpit of Gorleston church at the invitation of the vicar, Forbes Phillip: This rather origi- nal clergyman is handsome, muscular man, who promotes dancing among his con- gregation as an ald to grace. While stay- ing at Mrs. Potter's house at Taplow he heard her doclaim Pope's ‘‘Apostrophe to the Soul,” so often sung In the Wesleyan funeral service, and he forthwith challenged her to dellver it from his pulpit. The challenge was Instantly accepted. There is much Interest in the reported engagement of Mrs. Langtry's daughter Jeanne to Hon. Ivor Guest, M. P., Lord Wimborne's eldest son. Lady Wimborne is one of the sisters of the late Randolph Churchill and a grand dame. Her husband 1s a milllonailre Welsh coal and iron mine owner. The match {s regarded by the Wimbornes as a mesalllance, but the young people aver they will bring it off anyway. Lady Wimborne is a woman of such strong character that it 1s belleved she will con- trive some way to balk them. Jeanne Langtry resembles her mother in figure and general aspect. Though darker and not 8o handsome, she is considerably ad- mired, and through the influence of the king she s chaperoned by the marchioness of Granby. Young Guest served a vol- unteer In the South African war and is a good looking fellow. Rudolph C. Lehmann, England’s most noted coach, speaks thus of the respective chances of the Pennsylvania and Ghent eights for the Henley grand challenge cup: “They are exponents of styles which not only differ from each other, but are en- tirely at varlance with the accepted cancns by which first-class English oarsmanship has hitherto been gulded. Victory for either might means a serlous blow to theorles which owe most of their welght to the rude test of practical success. The defeat of Pennsylvania would probably give the death blow to the style in which their trainer is practically the last bellever in the United States. But the American crew has already rowed on the practice course under favorable conditions within fifteen seconds of the best time ever done at Hen- ley, and Ghent is sald to be faster this summer than when it rowed England's best club within a few feet last year. There is, therefore, every reason for antieipating a test which will be as complete as pos- sible." Pennsylvania's practice performance at Henley have greatly modified the first Im- pression of the Henley oarsman that they could not stay the course with thelir style of rowing. TO RESIST INVADING AMERICANS Germnn Newspapers Urge Govern- ment to Take Strong Steps at Once. (Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, June 20.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—Numerous articles are appearing In the German press violently appealing to the government to take immediate and strong steps to deal with the coming Invasion of industrial America. American goods are coming into this country In ever lucreasing volume in the shape of small machinery, type- writers, bicycles, cash reglsters, furniture, counting house fittings, boots and shoe: leather goods In great varjety and material for men's and women's clothing. Two years ago Germany imported 120 tons of small machinery for America. Last year it nearly 1,000 tons. The Kreuse Zeltun, which represents the agrarian classes, calls for fresh custom duties According to police statistics Berlln is rapldly becoming one of the most immoral cities in Europe. During the year ending June 15 there were 21,798 women punished for immorality. The streets of Berlin at night are worse than those of London or Parls. Dens In the guise of concert halls and restaurants with girl waiters in fancy costumes are spreading all over the yachts. The other day u party of American tour- tsts, bound for Copenh: passed close to the Hohenzollern and cheered the katser, who was passing the quarter deck. The kaiser took up a eea glass, narrowly scanned the Americans and then courte- ously saluted and resumed his p elty., Frau Lili Lehmann, tamous German so- prano, has concluded & contract with Maurico Grau for the coming winter. She will remain in the Unied States from Deto- ber to March, visiting the principal cities.

HE IS DUE EARLY NEXT OCTOBER Intends to Make Visit to Germany en m from Errand, WHOLE TRIP IS DISTINCT INNOVATION vor Before Has Auy of the Reyalty Visited Around. WASHINGTON PREPARES TO BE POLITE Despite Recent Unplensantness Uncle Sam poses to Make No Wry Fae WASHINGTON, June 20.—The State de- partment has received a dispatch from Mr, Rockhill at Pekin saying that Prince Chuan, brother of the emperor, sails for Germany July 20 on a special mission. He will return by way of America and Is ex- pected to reach this country early in Oc- tober. The special mission Is probably to pologize to the German government for the murder of its minister at Pekin and other Indignities to Its citizens there. His coming to America Is regarded as a particular mark of distinction, The trip of Prince Chuan to Germany and America will be the first event of that kind on record, as it is an unbroken tra- dition of China that the members of the imperial family shall remain within the boundaries of the empire. It had not been known wp to this time that Prince Chuan would come to this coun- try, as the advices reaching the Chinese legation here indicated that he would re- turn the other way. For that reason the legation officials have made no arrange- ment yet for the entertainment of the dis- tinguished guest, but it I8 presumed he will be quartered at the legation and shown that high consideration accorded to one of his high rank. As he will not be in the United States on an official mis- slon, but merely returning through the country, the United States may not feel called upon to take cognizance 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 at Skagway. WASHINGTON, June 29.--The State de- partment has not received any representa- tion concerning the flag incident at Skag- way, where much excitement is sald to have been caused by the hauling down of a Britlsh customs ensign ralsed at that point. Based on the press reports of the affair, the officials do not attach serlous importance to the incident itself, though it Is recognized that the matter might as- sume importance if the ralsing of the flag was an rtion of British soverelgnty over that locality. In that event there Is no doubt that the State department would take cognizance of the matter. But as it stands, the flag appears to be that of the customs office, for the convenlence of desig- nating where customs may be paid, and not the British emblem indicating any claim of soverelgnty. The modus vivendl made on October 20, 1869, between Secretary Hav and the Brit- ish charge here established a provisional line running some distance north of Skag- way, the summit of the Chilkoot P and of the White Pass, belng the two main trails In that locality. Reference to the official map indicates that Skagway Iis clearly within the American line according to this modus vivendl, also all tide water of the Lynn canal. If a custom officer is at Skagway he is there as a means of conven- fence of locating imports before they reach the wild region through which the ac- tual provisional line runs. Under such cir- cumstances it is felt that some tolerance should be shown on both sides. For the present no official attention will be given the incident, as it is not before the de- partment in any form. OTTAWA, June 29.—The Canadian gov- ernment authorities have not heard full particulars of the flag incident at Skagway, but are iInclined to think that its impor- tance is exaggerated. The Dominion has no customs house or customs collectors at that place. No customs duties for this country are taken there, but the Dominion maintains what {s kndbwn as a transit office for the examination of goods destined to pass through the disputed strip of territory to the Yukon district beyond, the object bes ing to facllitate through shipments and to prevent their being delayed at the pro- visional boundary which laps halfway across the line of the Whiten Pass rallway. The impression here 1s that a flag is necessary to the business the officer has to transact. GOMPERS IS IMPROVING President of Federation of Labor Re- covering from Fal Street Car. WASHINGTON, June 20.—President Gom- pers of the American Federation of Labog, who was seriously injured by a fall from a street car Thursday night, is consider- ably improved today and his physiclan says everything favors his recovery. CARNEGIE ~ ENVIES FAUST Would Sell Anything to Be Able to Live Again Half of His Lite. (Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, June 20.—(New York World Cablegram—S8pecial Telegram.)—T. P. O'Counor publishes a remarkable conver- sation which he had with Andrew Carnegle at Skibo. He says: “As we drove down to the station I was saylng how 1 envied him his wealth, He sald, I am not really to be envied. How can my wealth help me? I am 60 years old and I can not digest my food. I would give you all my millions it you could glve me youth and health.' Then I shall never forget his next remark. We had driven some yards in silence w Mr. Carnegle suddenly turned and in a hushed voice and with bitterness and depth of feel- ing quite indeseribable, said: ‘It I could make Faust's bargain I would. I would gladly sell anything to have balf my life over agaln.'

PARIS, June 20.—(New York World Ca- | blegram — Speclal Telegram.) — Maude | Adame, who for severai weeks has been taking the rest cure In a Catholic convent at Tours, finally tired of the silence and monotony of the old monastery, bade adieu to the nuns, with whom she had become & great favorite, and came back to Paris. Today she left with a party of French women friends for a leisurely tour of the | beautiful Castile reglon of Touraine. De- scribing her convent expericnce to the World correspondent, Miss Adams sald: “My lite there was soothing. None of the ern which fevers humanity outside penetrates those old provincial monasteries, where the time Is passed In casy manual work, study and prayer. “My friends who had arranged for my admission for the rest cure concealed from the mother superfor the fact that I was an actress, as the dear nune entertaln many strong, though Innocent prejudices, among Which Is a rooted bellef that the stage 1s directly connected with the satanie realm. “When I arrived I found that posed to be an American heire a4 heart's ease, probably after some terrible love affair. But a fow days later 1 con- fessed my calllng. The nuns screamed in holy horror, but meanwhile 1 had grown to be a great pet with them ail, and there was no thought of my expulsion, though the | slsters eadly deprecated the fact that such | a sweet creature as myself should be ad- | dicted to such awful work, and tried to convert me, but I think I went rather the other way. However, I got them to view stage lite more sensibly finally and after a few days they begged me, with mingled feelings of fear and curlosity, to recite for them, “Having to use French, I was not at my best, but the nuns thought it was fine. These impromptu efforts under the vener- able chestnuts on the lawn of the convent | garden were certalnly my most pleasurable successes. “I lived exactly as the sisters lived. I arose at 4 o'clock, attended chapel till 6, worked in the dalry until 7:30 and then took a breakfast of milk, bread and straw- berries. I missed the coffee terribly, but I asked no favors. After breakfast I was sent to ‘tidy’ the lonely, bare, whitewashed, narrow cell which I occupled, making my bed myself, shaking my little rug aud | sweeplng the floor. | “At 9 o'clock I reported with the others | to the mother superior and was assigned sometimes to the kitchen, where I canned more strawberries and cherrles than I ever will eat; sometimes to the dairy, where I learned to skim milk and make excellent butier; sometimes to the garden, where I picked fruit or flowers for the altars. “At noon we gathered in the chapel for a prayer, and afterward had dinner. Per- fect silence is compulsory in the refectory, nothing Is heard in the vast vaulted hall except the voite of a nun reading history aloud. After that we walked silently around the clolster till 1 o'clock, when each retired to her own cell for study and meditation, ‘At 4 o'clock chapel again, then house- hold duties, the needle and garden work. At 7 we had supper, trugal, meatless and silent, like the noon meal. From dinner until bedtime, 9 o'clock, was devoted to recreation. This was the only time dur- ing which nuns were allowed to converse. “What lovely, innocent twilights I.en- joyed there under the big chestnut trees, surrounded by sixty saintly women, some young and some old, but all so wholesome, 80 kind. “At midnight the sllvery bell which directs everything in the convent sum- moned us out of bed for an hour and a halt for the night offices. At first I found it an awful struggle to rise thus after my first sleep and dress and go through the long, weird corridors, peopled by silently gllding figures going to chapel, but I loved the beautiful night offices, with only the dim light of the altar candles playing among the columns under the lofty gothic arches and the darkly outlined nunms in their Interminable, monotonously plaintive chant begging God to forgive the wicked- ness of earth. ‘A few weeks spent thus in absolute qulet, the regularity and the simple food, eftected a complete change In me physic- ally. My nervousness was gone and my mind unfevered. Our parting was tearful. We had grown mutually attached. But I promised-to return next summer. “While there I wore the novice costume. But I was slightly different from the sis- ters, who had pronounced eternal vows, and I deemed it useless to horrity my sweet friends, the nuns, by revealing the fact that I had disported myself publicly all last season in tight brecches as the duke of Reichsta GIVE PARIS DINERS POINTS Yankee Restnurateurs Able to Cook and Serve with Superior Ingenuity, (Copyright, 11, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, June 20.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Mr. Sherry, the famous New York restaurant owner, after several weeks in Paris, left for Lon- don today via Germany for a stay of three days. He sald to the World correspondent that he belleved that the time had come when America could teach Europe a few things about running restaurants. Bold as his assertion may seem, arrangements are being made by American capitalists to glve him full charge of two establishments, one in London and one in Paris, which are ex- | pected to eclipse anything in any of the citles, Tod Sloan {s putting in the summer at Chantilly, near Parls, which is the head- quarters of American and English racing people. He comes to the town frequently in an automobile, given him by Menler, the rich chocolate manufacturer.

The Amalgamated association officials asked that the scale be signed for all the union mills, and the manufacturers preseuted a counter proposition not only refusing to slgn for all the union mills, but stipulating that two that were incluaed last year be excepted from the scale this year. These wmills are the Old Meadows plant at Scottdale aud the Saltsburg, Pa., works. The conferenec then broke up and Presi- dent Shaffer at once issued a strike order. The strike will Involve all the union sh mills in the country and about 20,000 skilled workmen, Shafter Takes Up the Gauntlet. When seen by a representative of the Assoclated Press, President Shaffer sald: “The Amerjcun Sheet Steel company signed the scale last year in all our union mills except the Woods mill at McKeesport. Dur- ing the year they took advantage of the conditions existing at the Scottdale and Saltsburg plants to lead the workmen from they offer to sign the scale at the reduced number of union mills. The policy of the Amalga- mated assoclation under my administration has been conservative and for peace, but now it is merely a matter of which side holds out the longest." When asked what the strike order meant, he said: “It's a fight. They threw down the gauntlet and we took it up. That's what it means A shutdown of the union plants of the American Sheet Steel company will involve nine of the largest sheet plants in the country. The company operates a total of twenty-four plants, but the largest of theso are the organized establishments. Tho Amalgamated assoclation controls 65 per cent of the production of the company and a long shutdown of this proportion of its plants would mean an inestimable loss, with the present crush of orders. Notwithstanding President Shaffter's order it is thought another effort will be made next week to effect a settlement, as it is well known that neither side is anxious for a protracted shutdown. The Amalga- mated officials would not object to a sus- pension of two or three weeks for the reason that the men are worn out with the steady run ever since the first of the year. t Convene with Hoop Company.

None of the officials of either side would offer to make a prediction as to the out- come of the conference. I. W.

FAST EXPRESS TRAIN DITCHED Looks Like Deliberate Attempt at Wrecking=Three Passen- ®ers Injured. PITTSBURG, June 20.—The Atlantic ex- press on the Penpsylvania railroad, known as train No. 21, was ditched at the east end siding, two miles east of Greensburg, Pa., at an early hour this morning. Only three passengers were hurt and their in- Jurles were not of a serious nature. Their names: Louise Hulton, Brooklyn, N. Y.; J. J. Harbisn, Lousville, Ky.; H. B. Lloyd, Cincinnati, O. The other passengers es- caped with a shaking up and the injured were able to continue on their way. It is thought that the accident was a deliberate attempt at train wrecking and a searching investigation will be made. The switch had been turned and the lock broken, but the engine, express and com- bination cars got over safely. The last truck of the first sleeper jumped the track and the four sleepers following were thrown over against the embankment. The pas- sengers were transferred to another train and brought to this city.

Y., June 20.—The coaches of the varfous crews which will row in the regatta Tuesday announce that with the evening practice today severe training will practically ccase and what practico will take place will be in the line of starts and bringlng up of oar work. With the exception of the slight iliness of the Wisconsin 'varsity crew the men ap- pear to be in almost perfect condition. The talk of staleness in Columbla ‘varsity eight does not appear to be borne out by the physical condition of the men. Every- thing is prepared for the races on Tues- day. In the morning about 11 o'clock Clin- ton Goodwin of the class of 1903, Syra- cuse university, will row a mile nst time and without any contestants. The four-oared race will be rowed, Penn- sylvania having the inside course next to the west shore, Cornell the outside course and Columbia the middle course. This race is two miles and Is over the lower half of the four-mile race. At 4 o'clock the freshmen race will be rowed, there belng four entries for this contest. Cornell gets the inside course on the west shore, Columbia is next, Pennsylvania next to Columbia and Syracuse on the outside. Be- tween 5 and 6 in the afternoon thé *varsity race will be rowed. There are six entries and all of the crews have been trained to the minute. The only suggestion that is made concerning the race is that Penn- sylvania's second crew does not expect to win it and that the course is a trific too long for Georgetown. It 1is thought it will be a beautiful race between Columbla, Wisconsin and Cornell, with Syracuse a largely unknown quantity. This latter crew has been causing some surprise to the crities by its fast rowing and good form. The only crews to venture out in the Intense heat this morning were Syracuse and Pennsylvania and both of these made the practice short and easy. The mercury was 8 and the condition of the water was not so favorable as it has been for several days, a contact of the ebb tide with a south wind making a ®hoppy surfac The complete list of the officlals of the race on Tuesday was made public today as follows: Stewards for the Intercol- legiate Rowing assoclation: Francls Reach Pennsylvania and W. F. Durand of Call fornia. Referee: John E. Eustls of We leyan. Timekeeper: Everett Jansem Wen- dell of Harvard. Judge at the finish: Fred R. Fortmeyer. Representatives of the crews at the finish: Columbia, Leslle L. Savage; Cornell, Herbert Howland; George- town, Asa G. Gracle; Pennsylvania, D, Metzger; Syracuse, G. H. Bond; Wisconsin, F. E.
