(London, June 16.—“ Dear old London” one of the big: American cities this jimmer, and ought to have a high rank I the United States census district. The psident American population of London t estimated at 20,000. But in July, this ear. the city will contain somewhere Ctween 40,00*0 and 50.000 Americans. Some 000 will be here primarily t ■> attend tne i’orld’s Convention of the Young Poo le’s Society for Christian Endeavor, bout 2,000 more will be the regular army cummer tourists and business trip trs, and the rest will be sojourners here a their way to or from the World’s Fair i Paris. J3o far as America Is concerned Lon >n Is going to profit more than Paris f the Paris fair. Nineteen out of every venty visitors to Paris arc coining by ay of Sonthamptou and Liverpool, and le twentieth will be quite as likely to fine by Glasgow, Plymouth or Hull as y Havre. Furthermore, he stay in pris is going to be shorter in most cases |an was originally intended, unless the bris “pensions” come, away down in hce and the Paris shopkeepers return to leir senses before it is too late. Tv*o lends of the writer who were sent to a Urly good Paris pension, or boarding >use, In January, paid 12 francs 50 a \y. When they returned to the same ace last week after a tour on the con pent, they were informed that the price jMrjjfK j'i' Regent street—Where Americans may be found in London as 2D francs, and the place was not awded, either. put steady going old London is stlck g to the original prices, not from any irtlcular far-sightedness or spirit of nerosity to the American cousin, but , nply because London always does what mdon always did. So the tourist encles report that their patrons are go g to get back to England from Paris soon as possible. One feature of the •son, so I am told, is to be the qri ecedented invasion of Ireland. That partly because the Irish rail ays and resorts, hitherto preter tu rally indifferent to the advent •e of hustling for business, have last condescended to make them ives heard, but chiefly because of the ed Queen’s visit to Ireland, and the ad rtlslng Erin got In consequence, and the ' mulus that seems to have been given [ everything and everybody there, espe lly in Dublin. ft is believed that more Americans will in England this year than in the re rd-breaklng year of the Queen’s Jubilee, kiey began early, and Judging by the f earn ship bookings, the rush will begin a l;ek or two after this letter is published, id will increase steadily till the middle j July. Then the stream will pour the 'her way. day Have Trouble Getting Home. ..there is going to be trouble about get- I g back to the- United States for those 10 have not bought return tickets. Al ady the principal steamers from London New York are nearly full for August and September. In the Jubilee year many 10 would have gone back first-class were ad to go in the steerage, and many oth s ran short of funds while waiting for chance to get home In any fashion what er. This year it would be worse, even the ctrowd were to be greater, for the -ltish government has “commandeered” number of the largest passenger vessels the trans-Atlantic service, and even the war is over in July they will be eded for bringing home the great army 1 >w in South Africa. Therefore, if any of the readers of this i ticle are coming to Europe this summer ithout buying return tickets, let us par -1 'hrase the advice of Punch to those out to get married, and say "Don'll” It will be a lucky thing for many a randed American this fall that the Sierlcan Society In London is now busy ganizing a benevolence fund. The so fty’s members are chiefly folk whom iainess has exiled in London, and who e making <sb much money here that >ey can’t afford to go home. They have en pestered individually for years by How citizens who have come to grief f-er here. Sad to say. a rather large pro .rtion of these fellow citizens were not serving of the help they got, and after time Brother Earle, who is president the American Society, and Brother ansichlan, the secretary, and Morgan kthards, and the rest of them, became mewhat tired on finding, when they got gether to compare notes, that each had en giving five or ten dollars to the ma person on the same plea. So they arted a fund, to which most of the embers of the society have contributed, td have established a mild Inquisition. Consequently, If you go broke In Lon ■n this fall, and apply for aid to any omlnent American here you will be re rred to an official, and must not be an yed if he asks a good many questions, id perhaps looks up your antecedents a t. This new move wili afford much re ■t at the dingy, gloomy offices on Vic rla street, which are the best that the nltcd States chooses to afford his ex llency the American ambassador. It ed to be that scarcely a day passed ithout some American coming In with tale of woe. Now if Is no part of the abaeeador'e business to pay board bills id buy steamship tickets for unlucky How citizens, and If It were not for tlhs iw departure of the American Society, r. Choate would not thank me Cor ob .rvlng that a good many of the appeals ade to him Were Quietly granted by him >; Ids peroena! friends. But the American |cie ty will look after all that sort ol lng this fall. The American Girl In London. Weeks ago Regent street began to bear i strong resemblance to Twenty-third Ibnat, between Sixth avenue and Broad lr. New York. The vlsltlrg American but Cl cm li.e t:.; ■ t. fe - \ t v pers as distinctly as if she were dressed in the Stars and Stripes. The American women are as well dressed to-day as the women of Paris, and far, far ahead of the women of London in this respect. Their clothes fit better, as a rule, and there is a general smartness and breezi ness about the American girl that the brightest of London girls lack. It is heresy, I know. I but I am complied to observe, on the strength of the testi mony of many experienced American wo that, that the American girl who is count ing on having her dresses made in London and Palis thi* summer would do better in fit. in quality, in style and in price if she were to have the work done at home— unless, of course, she is an* heiress. 'lt is tar easier to find an American in London when you don’t know’ his address than it is in any larg-i American city. The chances are ihreo in five that you will encounter him in the afternoon on the east side of Regent street, somew’here between Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus. Half way down there is an American candy store which has become so famous as a resort for the adorable American girl that you can’t advertise the place any more than you could ad vertise Westminster Abbey. In one af ternoon there last summer, in the length of time it took to get a “real American ice cream soda," I saw there the Coun tess of Craven, who used to bo lbtle Miss Bradley-Martln; Edna May, who, in spite of all her denials, is likely to out-title the haughty little countess presently, an 1 Mrs. Paget, wdio is almost much of a power here as her mother. Mrs. Paran Stever.a was in New York In her day. And, by the way, the little countess, af ter leaving an order with the clerk for some sweets to be sent to her town house, observed: “Ah, I suppose you know who I am?” ”Yes, madam.” “Yes, I am the Countess of Craven." The west side of Regent street :e other wise Just as interesting as the east side, but. after watching that side of the street rather curiously for several seasons, I sol emnly aver that I never yet saw an Amer ican tourist there. Haunts of Americans. If the American you are looking for is not on Regent street in the afternoon, look for him on Bend street, a block further west. That used to be the promenade of the beaux in Brummel’s day, and even now you will find better dressed men on that street than any other in London ex cept Piccadilly and St. James. It is nar row end dingy and unpretentious, but be hind its shop windows are the most cost ly wares to be found anywhere in the me tropolis. If your American is not saun tering by these shop windws, try for him in Burlington arcade—unless he has brought his wife with him, in which case it is not necessary to look for him there. In the morning the Strand, between the Cecil and Trafalgar Square, would, in the season, turn out Amerioans enough to populate a good sized town. In conse quence many of the shop windows in that region display American prices as well as English. For some reason, two-thirds of all the American visitors to London who do not stop at a hotel gravitate toward Blooms bury, and lodge somewhere within half a mile of the British museum. Russell Square has lost most of the patriarchal character it had in the days when dear, stupid little Amelia Sedley lived there and George Osborne made love to her, while Becky Sharp laid snares for Joe. It is running to boarding houses and hotels as fast as anything so solemn and dig nified could run, and block after block of the streets leading off from it are occu pied by an uninterrupted line of fairly high-priced board-houses that have be come hotels by virtue of a fancy name on a large brass plate. From now till October they will be given over wholly to Americans, who pay there anything from $8 to sls a week for breakfast, tea, dinner and one comfortable room, usual ly getting their luncheons out. I ven ture to say that If a straw vote were to be taken In Bloomsbury any time this summer between Americans and Britons, the Americans would have It by a large majority. For some strange reason the Baker street region In the vicinity of Regent’s Park is also becoming strongly Ameri canized, and when the Queen drove that way on the occasion of her last visit to London, I counted half a dozen American flags in one block. It is to this region that any one who is going to stay in Lon don for a month should come and plunge without preliminaries into housekeeping if he has brought his family. The sug- gestion may sound a little odd to any one who is not familiar with one peculiar phase of living in London, but the scheme is perfeectly practicable. All you have to do ia to take at a moment’s notice a floor consisting of two or three rooms in any one of the many houses of the Baker street region that are dedicated to this apartment life, unstrap your luggage and proceed to be as much at home a* If you had lived in London for an age. If it is chilly, the maid had a fire burning for you In the grate, and if it is 5 in the afternoon she is serving tea before yau have fairly had an opportunity to ob serve that the place is even provided with a piano. You go around the corner to the groeer and the green grocer (two wholly sepajate personages), the butcher, the poulterer and dairyman and order w'nat you like for dinner. They send it around to your cook, and presently, with out your giving the matter any further thought, it is served In your own dining room. I never could understand why more Americans who are going to stay a fen weeks In London do not try this plan of ready-made housekeeping. You have ab solutely no responsibility or worry, ex cept buying whatever food you want, and struggling with the English currency sys tem. It is quite as cheap as boarding; you avoid the horrors of the boardlng- Lsuse table, have two pr three rooms THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 1, 1900. aside from whatever you choose to pay 'Tor food of from $lO to sls a we k for two fairly comfortable room?, and as much more at you want to pay for more elaborate accommodations. For two per sons, or two and a it is consider ably cheaper than boarding—unless you are in too great a hurry about counting your change. It would be interesting to estimate how much good Amer.can money,translated in to English coin, will be left unnecessarily in London by this summer's army of tour ists, all because of the American hahit of impatience. I never yet knew a vis.tor from the Btafes who, unfamiliar with the cumbrous .English coinage system, vvm willing to stand at a shopkeeper's counter and painfully count his change, if it was at ail complicated. He has a notion that the shopkeeper will take him for a green horn, and consequently empties his hand ful of .silver and copper into his pocket, after a brief, help.ess glance at it. Now. the English shopkeeper is no more and no less* honest in the average than his American cousin, and he cannot al ways resist the temptation thrown in his path by such reckless financing. Further more, instead of being impressed by the customer’s seeming disregard for mon.y, he merely thinks him a chump, and would have much more respect for any one who puzzled out the difference between two shillings and a half crown, even if it took ten minutes. Marshall Lord* JOHN 1.. WORSTED IN FIGHT. Ills Head Cut, His Job Lost and the Court Holds Him. From the New York Press. When Detective Herrlich received a summons to serve on John L. SullLan, who once laid claim to the championship of this and all other known worlds, his comrades advised him to purchase an ac cident insurance policy. For months Sul livan has figured as the manager of a saloon in the Coleman House, said to be owned by the Dante’s Inferno Exhibition Company, of which George 11. Snyder Is the reputed head. Pictures lavishly distributed on the walls entitled the place to its name. Sul livan’s friends insist that he was to have had a guarantee i salary ot nineteen drinks daily and . commission of 25 per cent, of all handshaking that amounted to more than $4 an order. He was not to call the attention of guests to the works of art until late in the morning. Two weeks ago John was alone, w'ith only his .imagination as a companion, and he began to spell out the various captions to the pictures on the walls. He didn t like the mottoes, and departed from the saloon to advise all his friends to drink elsewhere. Owing to a growing attack of aphasia he w’andered hack to his old fa miliar moving pictures on Tuesday night and ordered drinks for them all. “You cannot be served with liquor here,” replied Snyder with some dignity and a little fear • Then he came behind the bar and hit me four times.” added Snyder, while ap plying to Magistrate Deuel for a. warrant for the fighter’s arrest. Snyder added that he was forced to hit Sullivan with a bottle in self-defense. “Come, John, lets go somewhere," Herrlich said to Sullivan, whom he found yesterday at Broadway and Twenty cighth streets, asking questions of a lump-post. He produced Sullivan in the Jefferson Market Court. His head had a deep gash. "Were you hurt when struck with a bot tle?” the justice asked. “Only because It was an empty one.” the big fellow mumbled, and became so noisy that hi3 examination was contin ued privately. The magistate held Sulli van in SSOO bail for examination.
