LEAD ENGLISH IN FASHION.
American Women Are Showing
 Britons How to Dress Well.

London Special Correspondence.
 It Is little singular that at the present time, when Americans, particularly in New York, are bemoaning the Anglici- zation of society in tho United States, particularly in tho eastern cities, the English arc condemning in no measured terms the disposition on this side of the Atlantic to ape the manners and customs of their American cousins. And indeed there is good ground for the apprehen- sion that exists here that in society the American woman will soon become the ruling spirit. if she has not already at tained that position.
 Women from the United States hold the pursestrings In scores of noble English families They welded title because they possessed money which the owners of the titles needed. but they are not dis posed to surrender the money without re- ceiving the social distinction they bar gained for. And they are getting 1t, too with the full knowledge and consent of what were formerly known as the Eng fish ruling classes. Britons no longer look to Paris for the latest modes in dress; they get them from tho American women residing In their midst, who are the first to introduce them. with such notifications aI may be necessary u conform them to physical requirements and climatic needs. This knack of adap- tation was never possessed by English women. They can adopt fashion In Us entirety, no matter how incongruous u may be- but cannot modify 1t so as to adapt it to conditions. physical or othel- wise. This art is possessed in nisn ue- greo by the American women ana the fact is acknowledged on every side here. Consequently, while Paris may orlslnate the modes. Amerlca-or the American women residing in Ensland-adapts them to local environment and English women follow suit with rare fidelity
 Tho confession may be humihatlhG' out 1t Is nevertheless made. and in the world of fashion as well as in polite society where tho American ducheSses relsh supreme. the fair ones from across the seas are given the honor of leading in ai- fairs of dress.

 It was in the middle of the Arctic win ter. Virtually there was no day. But this was all the better for his designs He enlisted in his service a numter of native guides and secured number or dog teams.
 Attacked By Indians.
 One night the skeleton disappeared. Not n bone of 1t was left behind, and with his treasure tied to the sleds Buck was travelling swiftly up the Yukon toward Skagway.
 Whether Bucks guides betrayed him or whether the Indians were keeping close watch on what they regarced as sa- cred relic Is not known, but hardly had he started on his long, perilous journey before the red men were in hot pursuit.
 Just what happened to Buck on that race will never be known. Varying re- ports went back to Dawson. In one Buck had been killed; In others guides and prospectors told how they had come across Indians who had been shot to death
 At least three times 1t is said that Buck held his enemies at bay with his rife. And the dangers he encountered, the excitement or the IHulaIS ana tlelT relentless pursuit led him to believe more and more in the value of the bones. There was no rest for himself or his dogs on his race to Skagway. There he boxed the relics and accompanied them to his home In Desaro. There he met his life- long friend, William McCrory, and inter- ested him so much that the two beT. n planning to return to Alaska this spring to bring away the broken piec1s and smaller bones.
 But within few weeks Buck died. probably killed by the great hardships he had passed through, and the McCrory brothers got possession of the bones, which were Immediately brought to their home in Michigan.
 In a large brick building at St. ChariA' the skeleton Is carefully guarded, and 1t will probably not be long before this re- stored monster of prehistoric times will be placed in some great museum

vANDERB11Ts AND cANF1ELD
Seem to Own the New York Repub-
 lican Legislature.

New York Special to Chicago Record-
 Herald.
 District Attorney Jerome intimated broadly today that Reginald c. VandeS~ bilt controlled the Legislature and was protecting Richard CeAfield. at whose gambling house young Vanderbilt is said to have lost $12O,000 Mir. Jerome has a Dill in the Legislature to compel players in gambling rooms to testify. but an amendment has been proposed to weaken It. ''The newspapers have told plainly enough that I am anxious to proceed against Richard Garfield, and they also have said that one of the witnesses that I am anxious to get on the stand and to compel to testify is Reggie Vanderbilt" said MT. Jerome This amendment ia to protect them.
 "But every one understands that Van- derbiit has potent interests, which 3re always considered in the Legislature, and Garfield also has interests that have to be safeguarded. So in the future, when they introduce bills, they should be en- titled, instead of the people of the State of New York. represented in Senate and Assembly, Dick Canfeld and Reggie Vanderbilt represented in Senate and Assembly,
 That amendment is a shame and a disgrace. and the design is apparent to every one. There is quite a significant feature connected with it also, and that is 1t does not take effect until after the racing season at Saratoga.
 Tt is a nico sight to see the Legisla- ture of the State of New York standing at the back of man who Is a convicted criminal. I am ready to prove he is a criminal and they know, if they give me the bill as I want it. that I can prove everything have said.
 "G have been looking for a public bo1y that could respect. and had had an idea that the Legislature might be that body. but I am forced to say. afte- seeing tho manner in which they have fiddled around in this matter, that they can't have my respect "
