RENTS ARE DOUBLING.
Bio Clubs in Pail Mall Are Having
Hard Time.

London. March 2s.-In all the big clubs
in Pail Mall just now the governing COM
mittees are seriously perturbed-
Most of these along the south side Of
the thoroughfare which includes the su-
perb Carlton. the stately Athenaeum, the
United Service and the Reform, stand
upon crown land. Commissioners OF
Woods and Forests, who have control Of
the ground rents. are credited with de
termination TO multiply rents by ten when
the present leases run out. The prospect
of the 1880 to 5000 ground rent now
paid being turned into $1,000 or $4,000 is
giving the committees great anxiety
Strong effort is being made TO get the
Commissioners to grant fresh leases. but
so far the Athenaeum appears 10 be the
only one that has succeeded This club
has obtained a new lease on such terms
as will do away with any necessity for
raising the annual subscriptions but AZ
some Of the other clubs the dread posi-
biIitv is now being seriously considered
Side by side with the fear Of huge rent
ais has come the doubling Of taxes dur
ing the last ten years. Says the secretary
Of one well known club
"Our rates have been doubled. Most
clubs along here pay approximately 80
co a wear in rents now. In a very little
while IL will be impossible. ! think for
any Of these clubs 10 exist with less than
a ten guinea annual subscription"

SUBSTITUTE FOR PLATINUM.
is Needed Badly Because Supply Is
Giving Out.

Berlin. March 2S.-Jewellers and other
workers in precious metals throughout
Germany-as well as probably in other
parts of the world-are finding more and
more difficulty in procuring platinum.
There has not been such a scarcity of
this metal since it first came into general
use.
1t is a curious fact that when there has
been a demand for any other metal fresh
deposits have had a remarkable way of
turning up in the nick of time This
is not the case with platinum 1t is still
worked in California, Colombia, Brazil,
Hayti and Borneo. but the only place
where it can be said to be at all abund
ant is in the Ural mountains, which gives
Russia a practical monopoly of it. That
country contains what is probably the
largest mass of this metal in existence.
In the Demidon Museum is a lump of
native platinum weighing about twenty
pounds.
The Ural output is not more than four
tons a year. The cost of the metal once
went down to $3.50 a pound, but that is
now more than doubled. At the time the
Russian government struck coins of the
metal. but discontinued. owing TO the
scarcity of the metal and its variability
in price Chemists have searched in vain
for some combination OF metals that
would take its place.

HAVE NO TEMPERAMENT.
Criticism a French Writer Makes Of
American Women.

Paris, March 2S-Pierre de Coluvain,
whose impressions of American women
have attracted immense attention in his
books on American Nobility and Eve,
the Triumphant said to the New York
American correspondent:
My task in describing the character
istics of American women has been easy,
because | have made the acquaintance
of really representative American wo-
men, not the wives Of your great mil
lionaires. / find the representative Ameri-
can woman combines grace. beauty and
intelligence of character. L have been
able to study the American girl right
here in the Rue de la Paix. See that
statuesque girl standing before the jew
eIler's window? She is a typical Ameri-
can.
THE difference between the Latin and
Anglo-Saxon races is temperament. The
American girls have no temperament.
This is the result of a mixture of races,
1 nthe American the head usually rules;
in the Latin girl the heart dominates.
Yet the American woman is not heartless
as she reaches her full development when
she listens to the voice of her heart Love
leads the American girl into an enchanted
region, where she learns how the great
life is when purified from self-seeking.
The American girl then doesn't make
duty of her love; she performs loving
duty When she adds the charm of her
Latin sister to her own grace and beauty
and intelligence of character she will be

GERMAN AFRICAN SLAVERY.
Slaves Are Allowed to Buy Their Free
dom.

Brlin. March 2s.-In the Reichstag to-
day the Director OF the Colonial Office,
DR.. Strubel. replying 10 socialist inquiries
said household slavery had been abolished
in Togoland, German West Africa, and
had been partly abolished in the CANINE
rooms. German Equatorial West Africa.
Children now born there are half free and
slavery will in a measurable time be to-
tally extinguished. Slavery in German
East Africa was also in process of aboli-
ton, since a transfer of ownership was
not permitted.
The slaves had two days a week for
work on their own account. and were
permitted to buy their freedom. The
director added that he. of course. held
the conviction that slavery must be vi
timately extinguished. and he repealed the
charges that the German colonial admin
istration was more expensive than the
similar British and French administra-
lions.
The first installment. s1S7.5 800. was voted
for the East African Railroad, which is
to extend to Mombo.

American Ambassadors Is Making a
Hit in London.


London March 2S.-No Cabinet Minister

public life than Ambassador Choate.
There is scarcely great function or an

is present. One OF the most remarkable
of these Will be the WhItefTiars Clubs

Choate will propose a toast 10 "Sovran

n HOLD COURT
On IHE OCEAN
Duke and Duchess of Orleans
Bound TO Rule.
PRETENDER is CONFIDENT
That People viii Receive Him
and Is Waiting.

London, March 2S.-The Duke and
Duchess Of Orleans will leave York House
Twickenham. in a few days for Naples,
where the French Pretender has sum-
moned his adherents TO meet him. 1t
has leaked out that this meeting will
occur aboard the Dukes magnificent
yacht, which has been specially pre-
pared for the occasion.
The interior Of the yacht has been
changed so that the main saloon and
several other apartments can be thrown
together, making a fine audience cham
Der. At one end of this a dais has been
built and the Duchess will occupy these
thrones. both crowned and otherwise in
regal state.
In short. it is declared that the Pre-
tender and his Duchess Will hold court
on their yacht just as though they were
accepted by the French people as King
and Queen. The event is hailed by the
government with much satisfaction, as
an object lesson to all good republicans.
1t will be used as a political weapon in
the next elections.
In this connection there is much COM
,ment on the fact that King Edward has
forgiven the Duke and Duchess the al
front they offered him shortly before his
accession and restored to them the full
favor of his court.
Since last September the Duke and
Duchess have resided quietly at York
House. Twickenham, and Woodnorton,
near Evesham, the splenGid Worcester
shire estate inherited by him from his
uncle. the Due d'Aumale. where the King
has had some excellent sport as Prince
of Wales in the days Of his highly valued
friend the late COmte de Paris.
The Duke of Orleans. who will cele-
brate his thirty-fcurth birthday on Fri
day, was married in Vienna on Novem-
Der s. 1895, to the Archduchess Marie
of Austria, second daughter of the Arch
duke Joseph and Princess Clothilde of
Cole-Saxburg and Gotha, a member of
the royal house to which King Edward
belongs. The Duke has been a good deal

GAR PREPARES FOR WAR.
Russia Will Take Decisive Step in
Balkans in 1904.

St Petersburg, March 2S.-The Russian
government has definitely decided that
peace must be kept in the Balkans this
year at all hazards, but is preparing
meantime for decisive action in the spring
of 1904.
That action means a European war I'M
less, which is most probable, the Powers
concerned do quiet deal in the mean
time. To this end the Gar will leave
Yalta next October, will proceed aboard
the imperial yacht through the Dardan-
Giles to Civita Vecchia, where he will
meet the King of Italy, subsequently
meeting the Prince of Montenegro at
Antivari the King of Greece at Athens
and possibly the Sultan at Constanti-
nople.
Both Montenegro and Greece have late
" been showing an impudent disregard
of mighty Russias feelings under the
delusion that they will be permitted to
select and cut their own slices of Tur-
key when the carving up time arrives
