American Women Abroad.

The frequent marriages of beautiful
American girls, generally heiresses,
with prominent and titled foreigners
has long been a matter of comment
At the present time, more than ever
before, American women as wives of
prominent political leaders abroad are
exexci4ifg a great influence in political
as well as social circles, and a hasty
glance, suggested by the appointment
of Lord George Curzon as viceroy Of
India and the attendant raising Of his
American wife. Chicago girl, to the
exalted position of vicerine of India,
shows that many of the American
women who have married abroad ara
leading lights to whom many of the
foreign leaders of the sex must bow.
The wife of Joseph Chamberlain, who
is now England's most prominent
statesman and who will some day be
that cOuntry's prime minister. is q
New England woman, and a typical
American. In addition to being promi-
nent as society leader in London, she
is accountable for. the stand taken by
her husband in favor of an Anglo
Saxon alliance, and when he made his
famous address on that subject he was,
in no small measure, speaking for his
wife,. The late Lord Randolph
Churchill had an American wife, who
was of great assistance to him in his
political work.. She accompanied him
on all of his political campaigns. and
as she was the organizer of the Prim-
rose League, the powerful Organization
of British conservatives. both men and
women, she was power behind the
throne" .
When Lord George Curzon. under
secretary of state for foreign affairs
until his recent appointment as viceroy
of India. made his first appearance in
the House of Commons he was ridiculed
for what was termed his superior
manner" and day by day he added
enemies by his apparent self-conceit.
His American wife-who has beauty.
grace. culture and diplomacy combined
was just the one needed to hold him
down a trifle. and in a year or two he
was one Of the most popular and
powerful men in Parliament, and this
with his appointment as the ruler Of
India he owes to his American wife,
There are scores Of American women
abroad who have prominence and
power, but the three named especially.

Lieutenant Hobsont will make an
other unique record for himself if he
succeeds in reversing his Merrimaa
feat by raising the sunken Spanish

of any of the Spanish ships will be a

than their money value. as far as in
fluential sentiment is concerned. And
if Hobsor accomplishes this result he

EXPLOSION AT POWDER MILL
Three Men Killed and Eight Injured,
Three Probably Fatally.

Wilmington, Del, Dec. 9.-Three men
we're killed, and eight injured, three OF
them probably fatally, by the explosion
Of press mill and four grinding mills
N the Hagerley yard of the Dupont
Powder Works. a few minutes after 10
o'clock. The dead are:
Robert McIlhenny, 45 years old, mar
ried, leaves widow and four children.
John Wright, 90 years old, married.
John Moore, 40 years old, married,
leaves widow and FIVE children.
Seven others were seriously injured.
Every Wilmington physician who
could be communicated with was sum-
noned to the scene of the explosion, to
render aid to the wounded.
The explosion occurred i'm the press
room of the Hagerley, or lower yard
works. A ear load of powder that was
being wheeled into the room was ac-
cidentally overturned, and the car
wheels running into the loose powder
caused a friction that set the powder
afire. The explosions quickly followed
all the powder that was in the press
room going off in the FIVE successive
detonations.
The press mill was wrecked.
The operators at the press mill were
Mcllhenny and Wright, and the explo-
iion caused their instant death.
The force Of the explosion carried por-
ions of the bodies across the Brandy
vine Creek, a distance Of 100 yards
rom the mill
AT the time of the explosion, Moore
Who is employed as carpenter in the
ard, was within few feet Of the
Iress mill. The back of his head was
rushed, and he died a few minutes
later.
The shock of the explosion damaged
roperty and shattered windows in all
directions.

THE WAR REVENUE ACT.
Amendments Recommended by Internal
Revenue Commissioner.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Chairman Ding
ey, of the Ways and Means Committee,
has received a letter from the Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue, n. B. Scott,
recommending number of amendments
to the act of June 18th, 1898, known
rs the War Revenue Act. The recon-
nendations cover changes of an admin
istrativc character under Schedule A
and b, also for the monthly payment
of excise taxes on sugar refineries ard
for penalty for failing to stamp par
lor car tickets. Further provisions are
suggested as to the examinations by in
tnrnal revenue officers of articles sub
ject to internal revenue taxes.
In the course of his letter, Commits
sioner Scott makes this suggestion:
"That Section 1894 of the revised
statues as amended by acts of Congress
be made TO read as follows:
''None of the packages of smoking to-
bacco and fine cut chewing tobacco and
cigarettes prescribed by law shall be
permitted to have packed in, or at
tached to, or Connected with them any
articles or thing whatsoever, other than
the manufacturers wrappers and labels,
the internal revenue stamp and the to-
bacco or cigarettes, respectively, put up
therein, on which tax is required to be
paid under the internal revenue laws;
nor shall there be affixed to, or branded
stamped marked. written, or printed
upon said packages, or their contents
any promise or offer of, or any order or
certificate for any gift, prize, premium
payment or reward.'N

determine who shall bear the response
billy of the catastrophe"
In spite of the secrecy observed by the
Americans, it is learned that the treaty,
in substance, consists of thirteen or
fourteen articles. The principal articles
provide for the cession and evacuation
of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine
Islands and the political, administrative
and financial results thereof; the ac-
quirement by the United States of pub
lie property and the REIMBURSEMENT Of
archives. The articles OF second impor-
tance determine the status of Span sh
subjects remaining in the ceded terrific
ries and unfinished law suits and con
tracts; guarantees of the same terms
to Spanish shipping and merchandise as
are imposed upon American shipping and
merchandise in the Philippine Islands.
for ten years, and leaving the status
of Spanish commerce in the West Indies
to be settled later.
An important provision is the guaran-
tee of religious freedom in the ceded
territories, in the same terms as the
Florida treaty, the Americans having
steadfastly refused to incorporate any
guarantee of the United Safes determi-
nation to favor the property of the
Catholic church, leaving it subject to
the general laws on the same footing
as private property.
The Americans were apprehensive
even yesterday that there might be some
unforeseeable turn of affairs VIII ch
would frustrate their efforts at the
eleventh hour.
Senator Gray, though well known to
be radically opposed to the policy OF
annexation or imperialism will vote in
the Senate to ratify the treaty, con-
sidering that his signig that document
binds him to support it.

DETAILS OF GOVERNMENT.
Administrator of Affairs in Our New
Possessions Discussed.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The discussion
of the details of the administration Of
Government affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines under the treaty of
peace which is about to be signed in
Paris, occupied a large part of the time
at to-day's Cabinet meeting. The es-
tablishment of a new postal system In
Cuba was regarded as a pressing neees-
sity. The present purpose is to fashion
the new system, as far as practicable
upon our own model. Cablegrams were
read from Admiral Dewey and General
Otis at Manila, giving their views as to
the number of troops that it would be
necessary to keep in the Philippines
during the administration of the military
government. Further than this, the con-
tents of these messages were not made
public. but the information received, it
is stated. was entirely satisfactory to
the President. An official denial is au-
thorized that the sale of the Philippine
Islands to any other nation has ever
been considered by this Government, and
it is stated that the published statements
to the effect that their sale to Japan
had been under discussion were alto
gether false.
Inc IdDlneC also talkeu over an elaDo-
rate tariff measure which is now in
preparation here to go into effect, as
now planned, contemporaneously with
the entire REIMBURSEMENT of the islands
by the Spanish. january 1st. This tariff
measure it is said will show an average
reduction all along the line. of about fifty
per cent from the Spanish tariff rates.
The understanding now is that there will
be no export duties and that in other
ways the burden of taxation will be re-
duced. Postmaster General Emory
Smith remained in consultation with the
President Utmost the entire afternoon,
talking over the scheme of postal ad-
ministration of Cuba.
