AMERICAN WOMEN's CONQUEST
Mrs. George CORVALLIS West Writes O,
Their TriumphaI Progress in
aE European Circles.

London. Feb. 21.-"The general concen-
sus of opinion is that the American girl
is perhaps the best dressed woman in the
world writes Mrs. George Corvallis
West. better known as Lady Churchill
and one of the first American women to
marry a titled Englishman This state
nent appears in this months Pail Mall
magazine, in which Mrs. Corvallis West.
under the caption, american Women in
Europe writes.
Thirty years ago in England, as on the
continent. the American woman was
looked upon as strange and abnormal
creature, with habits and manners some
thing between those of the red Indian and
Gaiety girl. Anything of an outlandish
nature might be expected of her. II she
talked, dressed and conducted herself as
any well bred woman would much aston
ishment was invariably evinced. She
usually was sailed with the tactful re-
mark L should never have thought YOU
an American, by those who intended it as
a compliment
.'As a rule people looked upon her as a
disagreeable, even dangerous person. The
steady progress of the American woman
In the minds of Europeans since then can
be gagged by studying their present posi-
ton in Europe. It is not to be denied
that they are having many Of the seats
of the mighty, and the most carping
judicious critics cannot find fault with the
way in which they fiji them.
I'm the political literary and diplomatic
worlds they more than hold their own
They are a great success in the old world
There is no doubt that their success is
greatly due to the wonderful adaptability
which they display without at the same
time losing their individuality.
A girl bern and bred in the backwoods
of some western state will adopt the man
ners and customs of her husbands coun-
try to such an extent that after a few
years she might pass as of his nationality
The chief characteristic of the American
woman is her versatility. This is fos-
tered by ambition. Her active mind
seems to open all paths to her.

RAILROADS OWNED HERE
Over $500, 100000 Worth of Sc
curities Returned to This
Country Since 1896.

New York, Feb. 2.-It is estimated
that $4,000, 900 worth OF American rail-
road securities have been returned to this
country from Europe since 1896.
Ten years ago the control Of many Of
the principal railroads was held abroad.
In 1890 the amount of foreign holdings
Of securities of the Pennsylvania railroad
was over So per cent. During the early
nineties the balance of trade began work
ing in favor Of this country, and this bal
ance was iiquidated by foreigners by the
return of American securities.
Less than 20 per cent Of the capital
stock of the Pennsylvania railroad is now
held abroad. With the exception Of the
Chicago Great Western control every large
railway system in the United States is
now owned in this country.

REFERRED TO COUNSEL.
Request That Part of Avenue Be De
clared Business Thoroughfare.

Francis Fl. Duehay of the Army and
Navy Club has requested of the Commits
sioners that Connecticut avenue between
II and 1 streets be declared business
street. Mr. Duehay says he has purchased
a 1J0-foot frontage on the avenue and in
tends to erect there business structure.
He thinks the houses opposite will give
way to business purposes as soon as his
building is finished, as has been the case
with similar properties on Connecticut ave-
hue as far north as M street.
Several of the houses opposite the pro-
posed new business building, it is stated.
are used lodging houses. and only one
for actual business purposes. The Commits
sioners have granted permit for the
Potomac Hotel Company to build a nine
story building on the present Richmond
Hotel SITE at nth and H streets, and the
writer says 1t seems inconsistent not to
grant such a permit Connecticut ave-
nue., which is at present devoted almost en-
tirely to business.
Engineer Commissioner Biddle has rec
commended to his associates that the re-
quest be referred to Corporation Counsel
Duvall for his opinion to the powers or
the Commissioners in the matter.
