ENGLISH OPINION CONFUSED.

NEW YORK. Dec. PA dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The announcement made In the dis
patches from Washington that the canal
treaty would be sent 10 London re-
presses the ardor OF the press in discus
sing the new questions raised by the
senator's.
There are no cnes from the foreign
Office, both Lord Lansdowne and Lord
Cranborne being inaccessible so far as
London leader writers are concerned,
and the under officials are not being al
lowed to say anything about diplomatic
affairs. The controversy will not be
kept up by the press at an unseason-
able time when the ministers are taking
holiday and nobody knows what view
they take OF the vague and academic
quality OF the Davis amendment or the
precise effects of the interpreted clause
supersedlng the Clayton Bulwer treaty
or OF other changes in the convention.
Two lnferences are safely drawn by
men In touch with the diplomatic circle.
One is that the British government is
better pleased with the amendment of
the treaty than 1t would have been
with the rejection Of the convention out
right and the consequent reversion to
tie Clayton Bulwer treaty. It can now
have the final privilege Of examining
the amendments and Of either revising
or rejecting them and is left in more
dtEplned position than 1t would have
occupied had the treaty been thrown out
altogether at Washington. The other in
ference is that the retention Of the Suez
rules will enable the American am
bassador here to confer with the foreign
Office and possibly to affect some read
justment or compromise. The prospect
OF success may not be hopeful but It is
now outside the range Of possibilities.
Public opinion here has been confused
by the contradictory lines taken by the
American correspondents of the London
press and whatever conclusion is reach
ed by the foreign office viii be accepted
without dissent.

commissioner and she immediately took charge of a large force of street cleaners. She did not stop at experimenting the work but did a little sweeping herself, to show the men how 1t should be done.
 Chicago women are now filling the posi- tions of factory inspectors, school trustees, and are members of the city and State Board of Health and various other impor- tant public positions. Indeed, 1t is being predicted that if the women continue to aid in the city's government as is the case during the present administration, that Chicago will have a woman Mayor.
 The women of Chicago, while taking the lead in municipal aairffs, are also having particular attention called to their recent organization for the purpose of securing the same wages that men are receiving in sim liar employments This movement on the part of Chicago women is attracting wide spread attention since many of the most broad-minded men in the country are glad ly recognizing that the women in their en- ploy should receive the same salaries paid to men, if the work of the former is as satisfactory as that fthe latter. That this questio nshould be regulated by ability is the only just decision to be arrived at by an employer, and with the payment of sal aries regulated by this method the anomaly that now results in an employer expecting as good service from a woman as from man and yet paying the latter higher sal- ary than he pays the former, would no longer exist in this day, when women are filling numerous positions as satisfactorily as men. In so many occupations woman is preferred, and when her ability receives the proper recognition, she will be paid the same wages that men receive in similar employments. The women workers of Chi cago will find a mighty wave of encourage ment on the part of American women since this inequality in the matter of salaries has long been a subject of consideration among the foremost women of the country. When men like Mayor Carter Harrison concede the ability of women and recognize the justness of her salary to be equal to that paid men in the same position, the dawn ing of a new civilization seems near at hand
The age-herald., 1900-10-14

of woman's ability to fill the public positions hitherto occupied by men. Tine part that Chicago women are playing in the municipal affairs of that city is at tracting attention throughout the country and their influence and success are being emphasized by the statement of Mayor Carter Harrison when he declares that women make better heads of city depart ments than men. During Mayor Harrl- sons administration every vacancy that could be filled by a woman has been dor-' so until now there are twenty of more women filling public positions in the city $ government.
 It is a well known fact that Mayor Harrisons reelection was largely due -J the influence of Chicago women, and while he himself acknowledges this fact, the suo- sequent appointment of women in various responsible positions was not due alone to the desire of the Mayor to grant requests made even by the fair women who aided him in his campaign, but was the result of the successful work of the first woman who attracted attention street commits sioner. She Is Mrs. A. Emogene Paul who declared to Mayor Harrison that Chicago 8 streets should be kept clean. He said that it could not be done whereupon she made the sweeping assertion that it could.

feels perfectly free of of all such restrict ing influences. The natural ego asserts it. self and with the greatest bodness declares an abhorrence of art galleries or prefer ence for theatres over churches, and a complete satiasfaction in the enjoyment of the shops not to be afforded by the most ancient or hoary object of interest, double starred in the inevitable Baedeker And so in all the diversity of foreign sight seeing each one finds any amount to de- light the very soul"
 In recalling her visit abroad Mrs Smith talked a great deal of London, and she says that the happiest days of the summer were those devoted to old historic London. She recalled particularly the palace of Henry VIII, which was presented to him by Car dinal Woolsey, a visit to the palace bring ing to mind those very interesting esca- pades of the King. and particularly recall Ing the court beates who made his history somewhat fascinating.
 At the famous old Cheshire cheese hos stery, where pr. Samuel Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith, and David Garrick were wont to lunch, Mrs. Smith and her party spent a happy hour, the table at which they sat, and indeed the chop and mug of stout" served to them, being characteristic of that other happy time when that congenial eoterie gathered at the Cheshire cheese.
 Mrs. Smith, in speaking of the old haunts of London, made dear to Americans by the genius of Charles Dickens, referred
