WOMAN AT TIE WORLDS FAIR.
Mrs. Potter Palmer's Report of Her Visit
Abroad in their Interest.


New YORK. June 13.-Mrs. Potter
Palmer president Of the Board OF
Woman Managers of the Worlds fair,
arrived in this city Sunday, on the
steamship Et1ria. She was absent
seven weeks, and visited England, Aus
tria, France and Belgium, in the inter-
est If Jfh hel rt6aqtirr .nesc countries, ana
others which she had not an opportun-
ty to visit, she said the sentiment was
very favorable in behalf of having u
woman's exhibit. The trouble with
great many European countries was
that their parliaments, like some Of our
own state legislatures did not properly
specify what portion of the appropria-
ton made should be devoted to the
woman's exhibit.
An interesting bit of information OBJ
tanned from Mrs Palmer was the fact
that there was some discussion iii tho
women's commission from England.
The duchess of Abercorn and the
countess of Aberdeen both claimed to
represent the Irish product, which will
be principally lace. Politics entered
into the deliberations of the committee,
and both claim priority.
Mrs Palmer said that while our wom-
en- proclaim to be foremost in every
movement, they were far behind, as re-
CARDS practical work, their sisters in
England. She was rather ashamed of
this, but had to admit what she saw.
Among the countries heard from,
where action had been taken with re-
gard to the woman's exhibit, are Italy,
where the queen is the patroness; Ger
many, Princess Frederick Christian, the
queen; France, Nine. Garnet, and Aus
tia, Princess Metternich. Work is be-
ing done, in the countries which haven't
yet appointed committees, to forward
the project and have the governments
recognize the Importance of womans
exhibit at the fair
From such countries as Syria and
India. where it is not expected that
committees will be appointed by the
government, the board of women's
managers of the fair are negotiating
with American women resident there to
send exhibits of everything unique in
womens work.

that the ear has reprimanded the
Grand Duke Constantine for visiting
President Carnot without permission
from the ear. While princes of

to do as they please when
abroad in giving and receiving un.
official eourtesies, it is the invariable
rule to ask the consent of the car be-
fore taking part in any official function
1t would not follow that, because the
car reprimanded Constantine, he did
not desire that prince to represent Rus
