first of his caste to marry an English
woman. His father is a leading banker
of his country, is immensely wealthy
and is member of the legislative
council Of Bombay.
Mr.. Advani has had an adventurous
career, which commenced with his mar
riage to an English woman which
brought down the wrath of his people
upon his head and compelled him to
flee from the country. Later he was
reconciled to his family and was per-
mitted to return to India. Last sum-
mer Mr. Advani decided upon a visit
to America. 1t was not long after his
arrival in this country that he went
to Chicago, where he met Virgins
Tyler Hudson, direct descendant of
President Tyler, who was following the
avocation of newspaper reporter. Ad-
vani was captivated at once and it was
not long before he was engaged to
marry the young lady. His wife had
previously died. Advani lavished pres
ents Of diamonds and the like upon his
inamorita and was preparing to send
her to Paris, where he was to go to
marry her. Then papa In India heard
of the engagement and enlisted the
services of influential people in this
country to break off the match They
succeeded and then came a suit for
breach Of promise and Advani fled from
Chicago to escape 1t. His friends later
settled with the young woman, and 1t
is said that she has since gone to Paris
on the money in search OF new con-
quests.
Advani was a member of Colonel
Cody's and General Miles hunting
party, which visited Montana a short
time ago, and he has since swung
around the circle, taking in the Pa
cific coast. On the way here from
Spokane a couple of days ago Advani
was robbed in the sleeping car and all
his letters, his letter of credit and his
money stolen. He was obliged to tele-
graph to his American friends for
money to tide him over till he can get
his letter of credit made good again.
Advani was seen yesterday and
asked for his opinion as to the atti-
tude India may be expected to take
toward England in the event of fur
ther complications in the South African
war.
India" said he, will be loyal. There
is no longer any danger there of an
uprising against England. Our coun-
try has come to love England and can
be depended upon to lend the mother
country every assistance in the pres
ent difficulty"
Advani is firm believer in the JUS
tice Of England'a position in the war
and cannot brook the sympathy for the
Beers he meets with everywhere in this
country. The distinguished gentleman
will leave to-day for Salt Lake to con-
tinue his journey East.
