PRINCE ALBERT OF BELGIUM.
DisappOints the Good People OF WASH
ingtOn EY His Brief STAY.

Those who bad expected that the
stay of Prince Albert in the national
capital would be made the occasion OF
series of brilliant social functions
have already found that they counted
their eggs before they were Matched.
To the scores of Invitations pouring
in at the Normandie, the reply is in
var;ably returned by Count de Lich-
tervelde, the Belgian minister, that
the Count d = Rethy-as the prince is
to be known during his sojOurn in this
country-must decline the pleasure OF
acceptance as his stay in Washington
is very brief and the programme OF
his visit, both as regards, his social
duties and his jaunting trips to places
of interest in and about the capital, is
made mp in it's entirety. The dinner
which President Mckinley will give
tomorrow evening in honor of the
nrince will be quiet affair and there
will be but a handful of guests. The
only opportunity, it is understood, that
society at large will be given to pay
their respects to the future rule OF the
Belgians will be on Saturday evening
when the Belgian minister and the
Countess Lichtervelde will give din
ner at the Normandie, followed by a
reception for which a great many in
vitations have been issued. His royal
terested in seeing the sights and study
ing the political and Industrial copdi-
tions existing in America than in put
ting himself on exhibition in tn
drawing room.
1t has been definitely settled thai
the prince and his companions will
proceed south early in the week ms
tesd of paying brief visit to Philadel-
phia as has been suggested. 1t is said
that the proposition to run over to Phi
adelphia Was made by the prince him
self and was due to his impatient de-
sire to see the ship-yards and locomo-
tive works of the Quaker city. The
southern itinerary will ipclude visits
to Atlanta, New Orleans, ST Augustine,
Galveston and possibly one or two
other points yet to be selected. The
west which will be reached via the
Southern Pacific will be more tho
roughly covered. Among other cities
which will be visited are Los Angeles,
San Francisco, as far north as Seattle
and Portland, and on the return trip
Salt Lake City, Denver, Colorado
Springs and the Yellowstone park will
be taken in.

with an official character, and was a

bad taste at the time when a

FRANCE AND THE JEWS

A. B. de Guerville, in a recent articl,
the Illustrated American, throws cleal
light upon that present important phase
of French and European history.
De Guerville asserts that the bitter
feeling which now prevails in France
against the Jews originated probably il
the violent attacks of socialists and an
archists upon the Rothschilds and Other
great bankers of Paris. The upper
classes have taken little interest in these
outbursts, and even today many Jews
are received in the most exclusive circles
Of Partisan society. The masses paid
little attention until the publication of
a book called LA France Juive," by
Edouard Drumont, created in France an
| immense sensation. Drumont main
tanned in his book that the Franco-P Prus-
sian war was brought about by the
Vaccinations and schemes of German
Jews, allied to French Jews, and that
the French defeats were caused by sim
liar Vaccinations. 1t is we'll known that
Empress Eugenie did her best to bring
about the war, and Drumont declares
that she was advised by her private
who had been sent to her by Bismarck.
When the war broke out Bauer disap-
peared and went over to the Germans.
He has since renounced the priesthood
and become wealthy sportsman.
Drumont has written other books and
founded a daily paper, always with the
purpose of showing that France is help
lessly in the hands of the Jews. With
the assistance of friends like Henri
Rochefort he has worked the anti-Jew-
ish feeling to a crisis. The Dreyfus af-
fair was the climax.
On the other hand, there are thou
sands of Catholics in France who
strongly oppose the anti-Jewish cam
paign. which. they assert, Is simply
playing into the hands of the socialists
and anarchists. This explains the posi-
ton of men like Zola and Anatole
France. 1t is said that before publish
lilS Id FRANCE JulNe brunont trleu
to get half a million francs from the
Rothschilds, and was actually kicked
out of the bank.
If Mr.. de Guerville's explanations are
the correct ones, there are some very
wicked and unscrupulous men in France,
who would imperil the existence of the
nation to crafty their personal hatreds
and ambitions.

A FOOLISH RUMOR

Rumors regarding Senator Whites
future course In the event that he
should retire from the senate at the ex-
piration Of his present term are spring
ing up thicker than mustard after the
rains. AS a rule the reports are toe
lowing, from the Oakland Enquirer
seems to demand attention.
In connection with Stephen II. Whites
retirement from the United States SEN
ate, some of the Los Angeles people
are repeating the story that White will
become the principal attorney for Claus
Spreckels and his varied interests, and
will doubtless have his law office here
after in San Francisco. This rumored
change of base seems to be more or less
associated in the minds of the people
who repeat the story with Senator
Whites energetic fight against the Ha-
waiian treaty. That is, while Senator
White took his stand against the treaty
several years ago, before Spreckels be-
came prominently identified with the
fight against it. and therefore he is not
to be charged with acting out of sub
servience to Spreckes, it is understood
that his aggressiveness on this issue
has made him d great favorite with
Spreckels, who wants him for his at
torney. But the whole story is probably
no more than somebody's guess
The Enquirer in one respect is
painfully vague. Who are some OF
the Los Angeles people" that are
giving currency to such an absurd
statement? Senator White has from
the beginning been a steadfast and
consistent opponent of the odious
Hawaiian annexation scheme, and
the Enquirer is right in saying that
he is not to be charged with subservi-
ence to anybody. 1t may be a draw
back that the Call and Mr.. Spreckels
are opposed to annexation; but no sanr
person would maintain that Senator
White, or anyone else, should abandon
his opposition because of that fact.
The Herald can conceive of no induce
ment that would take Senator White
away from Los Angeles and Southern
California. His home is here; he has
cast his fortunes in the Southla nd, and
the goddess has been kind to him here
The people cannot spare him, and we
do not believe that he has any inten-
ton to leave them. The report is pre-

REPUBLICAN REVELS REBUKED

In the house on Wednesday Mr.. Ma
haney, a representative from the Empire
state. administered a fitting rebuke to
what he termed "the revels of the four
hundred in the metropolis, while the
nation was in mourning for the loss of
the sailors Of the Maine, the incident
referred to being a vegetable party
given by Abram S. Hewitt. on the even

| different feelings manifested by these
so-called society leaders in the metropo-
lis of the country with those displayed
in London when the Camperdown sunk
the Victoria. There the city was hung
in black, and every social function was
abandoned, while in New York the social
leaders 'wearied high heaven with their
revels."
This portion of the gentleman's re-
marks was vocferously applauded on
both sides of the chamber, as it deserved
to be, but there was a noticeable sub
sidence of acclaim on the Republican
side as he proceeded:
Yet in the last campaign these

hesitate, so far as l am concerned, to
endeavor to free the skirts of the Re-
publican party from association with
these mere possessors and spenders of
riches who assumed to represent ma
tional honor when they thought their
bonds We're threatened, but who had
not a tear for those who went to their
graves in its defense.
Coming from a Democrat, this scath-
halls of congress, however justified
would have lost half of it's force and
suggestiveness, and the speaker would
doubtless have been severely censured
