LONDON, Oct. 25.-Carmeita Fer
rer, the niece of Professor Ferrer, the
Socialist, who was executed by order
of the Spanish Government at Bar
celona four years ago, is fast develop
ing in London a clientele distinctly
her own. Since she has been dancing
at the London Opera House her draw
ing powers have increased the re-
ceipts very materially.
1t is not because she is niece OF
the Socialist that she has succeeded
but because of her own art In fact
she rather disdains to make use of
her relationship as a ready road tn
popularity, preferring to show what
she can do on the stage.
She has a style quite her own, and
although she is an entirely self
taught dancer, is 1.-THE, quaint and
graceful to a degree. With a fas-
cinating style and fire. she dances
curious steps In an Old World cos
tune which the Spanish toreadors
wear when out of the bull ring. After
a long period OF hurry burly ragtime
her charm seems almost irresistible.
Miss Ferrer is Is years old and has
been dancing four years in almost all
the music halls of Spain. Italy and
France. She speaks Spanish, French
and Italian with equal facility, but
her English is limited
She has danced before the King Of
Roumania twice, before the King of
Italy and before the King of Spain at
the Odeon But Carmelita is demo-
crat, and because of her uncle's faith.
she refused proffered bouquet from
young Alfonso.
She Is very enthusiastic about
America and is very much delighted
at the prospect of appearing there.

LONDON, Oct. 25.--The miserable
matrimonial beginning that has been
made by eX-king Manuel would be
of little interest outside the respec-

Mitchell was afterwards made unani-
nous.
The agreement of the fusionists to
put Mitchell forward as their candidate
was not reached until after an all
night struggle, during which the com.
mittee took nine ballots, on the first
of which Mitchell led by slight margins
over Whitman and Borough President
George McAneny of Manhattan. These
were the only three candidates con-
sidered and the contest among their
adherents was stubborn.
Mitchell led slightly on every ballot
and on the final vote won the .neces-
sary majority among the eighty-eight
members then present to nominate.
The platform adopted by the fusion
committee has municipal economy as
its corner stone. Other issues are
home rule, with revision of the city
charter; police reform and a social
program which includes public health,
reduction of food costs by the estab-
nshment of terminal markets in each
borough; establishment Of municipal
department Of recreation; limitation
of the heights of the new buildings,
and the extension of the trade and vo-
cational training in the pubic schools.

DEFER DIVIDEND ACTION
American Express Directors
Expected to Cut Rate.

No action was taken on the regular
quarterly dividend OF per cent by direct
ors Of the American Express Company at
their regular November meeting yester-
day. Francis f. Flagg. vice-president.
would not state what action would be
taken at the December meeting, but II Is
reasonably certain that the company will
cut the present IL per cen. rate to con-
form TO the announcement made last July
In connection with the distribution Of 45,-
900 shares of Well, Fargo e. Co. to the
American Express stockholders in stock
dividend.
At that time the directors pointed out
that 1t would probably be necessary to re-
duce the dividend OF the American Ex-
press Company because Of the resulting
decrease in its income from investments.
AS this source of revenue has been esti-
mated at 8 per cent. a reduction In the
dividend rate to at least per cent is not
C, nsidered unlikely.
Mr.. Flagg said that the gross earnings
Of the company during July and August
were below normal. but that during Sep
tember and October :hey had exhibited
material Improvement.
