Miss Liflian Scott Troy, the talented San Francisco au thoress, has written the f off-ow ing article on England's treat ment of the militant suffragettes especially for The Sunday American. BY LILLIAN SCOTT TROY. Special Cable to The American. LONDON. May 10.—Although I am not a militant I am firmly of the opinion that neither the Irish nor the women will get what they want from any English party without fighting for it. My attention was first drawn to the rase of Miss Zelie Emerson, the Michigan suffragette, imprisoned in Holloway jail for window smashing, by the statement of Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, just after her release from Holloway jail. Horrors of the Treatment. A woman who had been forcibly fed in Holloway jail told me of the horrors of the cruel process. The woman, whoes vivid descrip tion of prison torture turned me sick and faint, has a lasting memory of her terrible ordeal, a strange defect in her voice and a permanently dis figured nose. The doctors know It is a matter of principle \yith us to resist forcible feeding,” she said “and to save them selves trouble they let us starve un til we reach the point where we are so weak that it is a /airly easy mat ter for half a dozen attendants to overpower us. They first force us down into a chair, then they tie our feet and hands, and strap us down with sheets wound around our bodies. “Stuffing the Turkey." Then, to quote a member of par liament, the stuffing of the turkey begins. Feeding through the nose by tube is much more painful than feeding through the mouth, although neither can be described as less than bar barous, therefore, we*are fed through the nose in the first instance until ulceration and probably necrosis has set in. A large rubber tube is forced up the nostril, down the nasal aper ture and into the stomach. The pain accompanying this process is maddening. When the tube is forced into the nasal cavity the pain is so excru ciating that notwithstanding the fact that we are tied hand and foot and held down by attendants, women un consciously rise up, tearing their bonds in their mad struggle for re lief. The stomach, which has par tially collapsed from days of fasting, is then flooded witti a quart of milk or liquid food. Tube Pierces Girl's Lung. In the case of one young girl the tube pierced her lung. The mucuous membrane is generally inflamed and torn after'nasal feeding, and when ii reaches the point of septic pois oning, they transfer their operation to the mouth and throat. The jaws are forced apart by powerful steel screw pries and a gag inserted. Then a thick rubber tube is forced down the throat and into the stomach. The precedent being well estab lished that the only aid Americans, in trouble in London may expect is from the United States direct, I sent a cable to Senator William Alden Smith, of Michigan, advising him of Miss Emerson’s condition and treat ment. _ . .. When I met Mrs. Emerson 1 fully expected to find a woman in great grief. Not a bit of it. She met me with a radiant smile and invited me to luncheon. Mrs. Emerson had seen her daugh ter late the preceding afternoon. She said her daughter was very nervous and seemed years older. Every time she attempted to speak the girl would press her hand for silence. Doctor Remained Near. A wardress or a doctor remained within three feet of the mother and daughter during the interview. The c-irl told her mother that she had been on a hunger strike fourteen days before the prison authorities had discovered it. Dr Mansell-Moulin, who is per haps one of the most celebrated sur geons in England, tried to impress upon Mrs. Emerson the gravity of the situation. I called on Mr. Laughlin with Mrs. Rose French, of San Francisco. The following day 1* called at the Embassy with Mrs. John Jay White of Washington. D. C The reply we received was to the effect that Miss PImerson had broken tne hrig lish law (smashed eight rents worth of glass) and that she was being treated as were the English women in prison. . _ .

BY* FRITZ JACOBSON. BP7RLIN, May 10.—During the siege of Scutari King Nicholas wa.s extremely busy dictating his memoirs to an English journalist who went to Montenegro to secure this valuable document for an important London newspaper syndicate. It is understood the price paid to the king was between $10,000 and $15,000 for the first three installments of the work, which will be very long. It will deal especially with Austrian intrigues and also with the mysteries of Nicholas' connection with the Russian and Italian courts. When dictating the memoirs, Nichol as often said: ‘1 boiieve that many European statesmen will feel uncomfortable* when all this leaks out, but never mind, I must defend myself for the sake of posterity.” As will be seen In the coming mem oirs. the date of the publication which has not yet been fixed but probably will be in the autumn. Nich olas ha^ two favorite heroes. The first is Napoleon and the second is Roosevelt. He writes: “Not having been able to be a Na poleon. I must try to be a Roosevelt.” The memoirs also will show how Nicholas Judges all European sov ereigns. He speaks very highly of the German kaiser, “my friend,” but says that the Austrian Emperor is “nothing but a tool in the hands of Arch Duke Francis FVrdinand. whom every Montegenro patriot should ar dently hate.” Nicholas also says that the late King Edward and he were the only European rulers who knew anything about international politics and had he even been half as mighty as the late English King, the whole of the Balkan peninsula now would stand under his rule.

ALL PARIS CHEERS ALFONSO Spanish King’s Visit Occasion for a Great Holi’day in the French . Capital. BY CHARLES HENRY MELTZER. Special Cable to The American. PARIS. May 10.—Paris has looked her best this week. The streets echoed the quick tramp of marching regiments and the gay music of their bands. For days the red and yellow flag oP Spain hung from 10,000 windows while courteous throngs cheered King Alfonso. An alliance between Eng land. France and Spain is more than probable as the outcome of the king’s visit. The hotels are crowded, though the invasion of the city by the American contingent still is incomplete. A peaceful solution of the Balkan troubles now seems well assured and business which languished here for months Is growing brisker. The latest addition to the great Paris earavandarie is the Hotel Ed ward VII, built in honor of the late Old Lace Used in Smart Court Gowns Beautiful Style Adopted for Evening 1 Functions as Well as State Functions. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, May 10.—Rich brocades, beautifully draped, continue to be the vogue not only for evening functions of all kinds, but for the courts at Buckingham Palace, and there was never a season where old lace wa.s so much in request as the present one. A particularly beautiful “gown” is going to be made for Mrs. J. W. Lowther, wife of the popular Speaker of the House of Commons. This is fashioned of the palest mauve satin, in delicate tints which one sees in the mauve-tinted orchids. It is veiled with some old Nottingham lace which is gathered softly around the hips, while over it is drawn drapery of pale, peach-colored brocade, em bossed with little qld world bunches of flowers in shades of pink and mauve. This drapery is brought from the left side to about the knees on the right, leaving the drapery of filmy lace over the mauve satin exposed on the right hip, as though a piece of brocade had been cut out. The drapery also is brought around to form a pointed train which represents a clever feat in itself on the part of the courtieres. Into the corsage is tucked a great cluster of softly shaded orchids, while beautiful lace appears again beneath the brocade. The court train is another wonder ful scheme of folds and drapery. It is carried out in cobweb net, embroid ered in cream and gold and a kind of maze of oxidized metal threads. This is mounted over a deep, soft migno nette satin, a clump of orchids being lightly laid upon it to introduce a soft color relief. German Prince to Hold Horse Show Festivity Planned for Berlin to Be Staged During Kaiser's Jubilee. King George and Queen Mary Taking Active Part in the Extensive Preparations, By CHESTER W. OVERTON. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, May 10.—All the wise councilors and war ministers of Europe may have their heads bent ov- 0 -' war maps, while thousands .of troops rest on their arms awaiting orders to join in a threatened general conflict over Balkan affairs; jingoes may scream war and French military authorities have fits of excitement over the "accidental landing of Gor man war balloons near French fortifi cations. but none of thi« will in the least effect the great Versailles fete to be held in June next, at which all of the courts of Europe will be represented. American visitors- to London who wish to be present at the wonderful “Versailles fete” ball to be held in Albert Hall June 6. will have to apply at once for tickets as not only has the price, which started at $2of) each for the boxes, been raised, but more than $10,000 worth of ticket's already has been sold. American Women Prominent. American women, wives of English peers, will play an important part in the event, which is being held for charitable purposes, and will probably exceed in gorgeousness ' any of the fancy dress balls ever before given in the British capital Under the patronage of King George and Queen Mary, the Queen Mother Alexandra and the Princess Christian, the ball will be attended by nobles and royalty from all parts of Europe. The fete is based on the reception of Louis XIV in the gardens at Ver sallies and will take place in Albert Hall on June 5. All ihc great courts of Europe of the time of Louis XIV will be repre sented by society women and noble women. France will be the chief court. Lady Paget, an American, is arranging this.

PARIS, May 10.—A French paper sent a reporter to President Poin- caire’s hatter the other day, and has since entertained its readers with the information he got as to Mr. Poincaire’?; headgear. The President buys his hats in one of the largest Par's establishments and has dealt at the shop since he was a rising young lawyer. The only difference now is that instead of going to- the shop to make his purchase, the di rector himself calls at the Elyess. The President follows the fashion in the cut of his hats—but at a dis- J tance, as he himself puts it. In pri vate life he prefers an ordinary black felt bowler, and fpr the sumfner a plain straw. it is very seldom he is seen in anything but a silk hat now. however, and hi.s expenditure on them since he became President is a verv heave item, for he uses on an ASSURES FAVOR OP FRANCE FOR POPE Cardinal Bishop of Palestrena, or His Brother, Preferred by the French. Special Cable to The American. BY THE MARQUIS DE CASTEL LANE. PARIS. May 10.—The recent visit to Paris of Cardinal Vincenzo Van- utelli has opened up the discussion of who will be the next pope. The question is proximate and pressing because, assuming that Pope Pius X should recover completely, his career cannot be long, as r,is holiness will be seventy-eight years of age in June. And the very first name which presents itself as a candidate for the tiara is that of Vanutelli. Cardinal Vincenzo Vanutelll’s visit to France is the first made by a car dinal since the separation law was passed. Though he came ostensibly to assist*at the festivals in honor of Frederick f’azanman, founder <»f the society of St. Vincent de Paul, his visit is also an indication that diplo matic relations will be resumed again between France and the Vatican. Friendly Relations. Such friendly relations would be favorable to the candidature of eith er of the Vanutelli brothers. Both Cardinals Vanutelli have been friend ly to France and either would have the gtolid vote of the seven French members of She Sacred College. Cardinal Vincenzo Vanutelli is at present bishop of Palestrena. where his parents lived, and when not busy in Rome, he goes out to see his vine yard and to take sun baths on the Roman enmpagna. Cardinal Serap- hino Vanutelli has a strong follow ing. Cardinal Seraphlno'? election would be another step in the direc tion of bringing the Vatican and quirinal together. Cardinal Rampolla will be TO years of age next August. His election would mean a renewal of the intel lectual and worldwide regime of Leo XIII. The veto power which kept him out has been abolished by the pontiff whom it served to elect. Nevertheless the German and Aus trian cardinals will vbte against him. Gibbons Against Rampolla. Cardinal Kopp, Archbishop of Breslau, and Cardinal Gibbons, Arch bishop of Baltimore, made a strong campaign against Cardinal Rampolla in 1903. Another candidate much in evidence is Cardinal Ferrala. He was nuncio at Berne, Brussels and Paris. He, too represents the spirit and ideas of Leo XIII. If Cardinal Rampolla cannot be elected his supporters would vote for Cardinal Ferrala. Cardinal Gotti, former general of the Carmelites and present prefect of propaganda, likewise gets honora ble mention. He is known as the red pope. Cardinal Gibbons will get some complimentary votes.

May 10.—The Tlm°s publishes, through the courtesy of Lord Spencer, four hitherto unprlnted letters which Nelson wrote in 1797 and 1798 to Lady Spencer, wife of the second Earl, who was then First Lord of the Admiralty. These let ters. lately discovered at Althorp, ap pear to be the sole remnants of a vol uminous correspondence, the greater part of which the second Earl de stroyed shortly before his death. They bear witness to the friendly re lations between Lord Nelson and Lady Spencer. First Letter. Nelson's first letter, dated Septem ber 23, 1797, which pays a graceful compliment, offers the present of a vanquished Spanish Captain’s sword, and shows that Nelson had already won a high place in the Countess’ esteem. The second and third let ters. together with one of Lord St. Vincent’s, which follows and eluci dates them further, shows that thi3 esteem was soon to bear fruit. It is a family tradition that it was Lady Spencer who prevailed on her hus band to recommend Nelson at this period for the high independent com mand in the Mediterranean. The let ter to Lord St. Vincent seems to leave no doubt that she applied the same sort of persuasion to Nelson's imme diate commander-in-chief. Nelson’s fourth letter, under date of # September 22. 179JL belongs to the period of his moral eclipse, when he made his legitimate concern for the safety of trie two Sicilies and his loyalty for the Queen of Naples, a cloak for his infatuation for Lady Hamilton and an excuse for constant sojourning in the neighborhood of his two enchantresses. The letter ap parently was written in reply to one in which Lady Spencer gently hinted that Nelson was suffering in repute and is a sort of an apology for his conduct. It says: “John Bull and all the world may continue to keep an eye on my con • duct, may examine me in the field, in the Cabinet, and in my closet, and l am vain enough to believe I shail be thought purer by the ordeal." Nelson then pays glowing tributes to the wisdom and goodness of the Queen of Naples and the beauty and accomplishments of Lady Hamilton Referring to the latter, he says: “She shows all who come near us tha: she thinks the scars on my carcass more valuable and precious than the richest diadem that adorned a mon arch. She holds my honor and that of our country so dear that she would give. I ain satisfied, her heart’s blood sooner tarnished. Wife of Sir Hamilton. This incomparable person ig the wife of my much-honored old friend. Sir William Hamilton. I can say with truth that it would not have been in my power to render such essential services to their Sicilian Majesties, but by private intimacy of Sir Wi!- liam and Lady Hamilton with their Majesties and Sir John Acton. With these friends about me. you will be lieve that Nelson will always be found where the honor and interest of Britain requires his presence." Nelson tarried about Naples and Palermo until finally Lord Spencer was fair to suggest, in 1800. that if his health did not permit him to be with the fleet he ought to return home. Soon after this Nelson re turned, making the amazing progress across Europe In company with Sir William and Lady Hamilton. Lady Paget, who is arranging the French court, the most elab orate to he presented. Mixed Bathing Fete Pleased Montmartre Frolic Is Repeated by Bohemian Set at Gay French Capital.
