  We present strange particle spectra and yields measured at mid-rapidity in
$\sqrt{\text{s}}=200$ GeV proton-proton ($p+p$) collisions at RHIC. We find
that the previously observed universal transverse mass
($\mathrm{m_{T}}\equiv\sqrt{\mathrm{p_{T}}^{2}+\mathrm{m}^{2}}$) scaling of
hadron production in $p+p$ collisions seems to break down at higher \mt and
that there is a difference in the shape of the \mt spectrum between baryons and
mesons. We observe mid-rapidity anti-baryon to baryon ratios near unity for
$\Lambda$ and $\Xi$ baryons and no dependence of the ratio on transverse
momentum, indicating that our data do not yet reach the quark-jet dominated
region. We show the dependence of the mean transverse momentum (\mpt) on
measured charged particle multiplicity and on particle mass and infer that
these trends are consistent with gluon-jet dominated particle production. The
data are compared to previous measurements from CERN-SPS, ISR and FNAL
experiments and to Leading Order (LO) and Next to Leading order (NLO) string
fragmentation model predictions. We infer from these comparisons that the
spectral shapes and particle yields from $p+p$ collisions at RHIC energies have
large contributions from gluon jets rather than quark jets.
