BOSTON. Feb. 12.-Queen Liliuoka-

She said in her apartments at the Ven
dome:
II have been told that a woman in

tanning a place in the state legisla-
ture. Isn't IL absurd. The time Is
coming when woman will forget these
little fads OF hers today and return to
her household duties and sympathies.
which have been ordained for her from
the worlds beginning. Women should
have no public place In conducting the
affairs of state.
What would men do if deprived OF
political activities They cannot gain
say. a woman. Imagine a lady getting
up In the Legislature and informing a
chivalrous old lawmaker that he was
mistaken In his views. He would SINK
back at a loss for words. III she says

And woman should not take such
advantage of man. Her place Is in the
household looking after the children,
baking bread and making pies and
cakes Even a queen should allow the
affairs of a nation 10 rest In the hands

CHVALRY OF AMERICANS
ANN0YS JAP DIGuTARIES
imperial Commissioners Who Recently
Visited United States Believe
Women Sway Men Too Much.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE manner in
which the typical American man bows
and defers to woman and meekly
obeys orders from the feminine por-
ton of the household is enough to
disgust any self-respecting Japanese
who has enough regard for his dig
nifty to know he is lord and master.
This tendency of American men is
the chief objection to them voiced by
the Imperial Japanese commissioners
who recently returned TO the nowery
kingdom after tour of the United
States. Their views are expressed in
Hochi. a Toxic newspaper a copy of
which reached Chicago today
Hochi summarizes hine things which
the Japanese commissioners said they
could not admire about Americans.
Four of the nine were Extreme re-
spect for women; "Pretension of re-
spect paid to ladies'; TOO much re-
spect for women" and Prescriptions
attitude OF women over men"
Among the other five were, THE fact
that Americans wear their hearts on
their sleeves" and "Mingling of boys
and girls in schools"
IT appears from Hochis account,
that, when the Japanese were in Chi
cage and were told Chicago got it's
drinking water from Lake Michigan.
they looked pleasant, shut their eyes
and gulped down the water given them
to drink. When they got home,
though. they numbered Chicago's
drinking water as one OF the most
reprehensible things they found in the
United States.
Their other two objections were that
they found American shopkeepers "un-
reasonably egotistic and independent
and as a class, too much taken up
with the worship OF wealth and mater
ial things

French Steamer Dashes On Rocks in

Person Is Saved.

PALMA, Majorca Island, Feb. H.
The French Transatlantic Liner Gen
cral Chanzy. which sailed from Mar.

passengers and a very heavy cargo
Is total wreck of the northeast coast
OF the island and loo lives have been
lost. Only one person has been saved.
The Gen. Chanzy, which is a vessel
OF $500 net tons burden. was one of
the staunchest passenger liners ply
ing out of Marseilles. However, a few
hours after she had cleared the harbof
she ran into a terrible gale that had
been sweeping southern Europe for
as hours and she could make little
Roadway against II. She dashed on
the rocks on the north coast The
Gen. ChanZy was built at CT. Nazaire
in 1891.
The sole survivor is an Algerian
customs officer, Marcel Rodel, who
was rescued by fishing boat and who
lies In the hospital at Ciudadela raw
ing as result OF the tortures through
which he passed and unable TO give
an account OF the disaster.
In the ships company there were
81 passengers. of whom thirty were In
the first cabin. The crew numbered
20.
The ship was in command OF Capt.
C6yol. one OF the most careful officers
Of the line. In his long experience he
had never before met with an acct
dent. He had intended TO retire from
the service in the near future.
The passengers OF the Chanzy were
mostly French officers and officials re-
turning 10 their post in Algeria. ac-
companied by their wives and chill
dren "a few soldiers, some Italians
and Turks and one priest.
II is believed that three American
vaudeville players, hafling from San
Francisco. were on board the steamer.
Their names are Elsie Henry and
Messrs. brenda and Delymm.
The steamer Marechal Bugeaud
should have sailed Wednesday, but
was replaced by the Chanzy. Many
passengers booked for Algiers had
waited to go by the Chanzy, because
OF the great confidence they felt in
its captain.
The French consul at Ciudadela re-
ports that large number of bodies are
floating at sea, but that the storm con-
tinues, making impossible their recov-
cry.
The hull OF the steamer is said 70

ably OF the boilers, occurred.
