The Mexican President Makes In
uuiries About Their Interests.


quiries About Their Interests.
Mexican Herald.
Yesterday afternoon President Diaz gra-
ciously accorded private audience to the
members of the Ubero Plantation Company
party at the national palace. There were
twenty in the party that left the hotel at
O'Clock in the afternoon in carriages. Mr..
Ingalsbee, of the Real Estate Company OF
Mexico, accompanied the party. In five
vehicles the party drove directly to the
embassy, where Mr.. Ingalsbee introduced
the members to Gen. Powell Clayton, am
bassador from the United States. The cour-
tesies of the Office were placed at the dis
posal of the distinguished visitors, and a
half-hour call was made Then Ambassa-
dor Clayton headed the deputation to the
palace. On arrival. by previous arrange
ment, the visitors were ushered directly
into the audience room. Their arrival was
announced, and President Diaz stepped
from an adjoining room and greeted the
ambassador and secretary, Mr.. Creery, and
Hon. w. d. owen, the original investor In
the Ubero Plantation Company, was intro
duced. He took his position at the left OF
the President, and as the party filed past
introduced each. A clasp of the hand and
an inclination of the head, with a friendly
word. was vouchsafed to each by General
Diaz.
The secretary of the embassy acted as
Interpreter. Said President Diaz: Il be-
lieve that all these gentlemen are investors
on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec?"
Eve are, with two exceptions" answered
Mr.. Owen.
How are you satisfied with your prof.
est?" asked the President.
'I think 1 can say for every member of
the investigating committee, and for each
stakeholder, there is feeling of the ut
most qualification. The security OF the In
vestment under the protection Of your ma
ton is such that there can be no doubt of
it's safety, and the income derived from i
satisfactory"
Tell your investors, if you please" said
the President, that within sixty days, the
government will direct attention to extern
sive improvements along the Coatzacoalcos
river and the Tehuantepec National Rail-
road, which passes through your plantd-
ton, and in Salina Cruz harbor, that will
more than double the value of their hold
ings am we'll acquainted with the local
ity through many travels in that vicln-
ity."
The thanks of the members of the party
were expressed and they were then bowed
out. Ambassador Clayton remained long
enough to extend on behalf of his govern
ment, an invitation to the President to 20
to the Pan-American congress in the United
States The American visitors were pho
tographed in the patio of the palace and in
front of the building, being driven during
the remainder of the day to the many
points of interest in the city.

party Is a name only. The administration
| has been somewhat embarrassed recently
| by demonstrations OF foreign citizens In
| evidence of their desire to see Diaz remain
President OF the republic. This is explained
by the feeling of security foreigners having
| capital invested there have that while Diaz
remains in control there will be no dissatis-

but one man who was not in favor of Diaz

and says: What if Diaz should dep
To TAKE DIAZ'S PLACE.
II Diaz should die there are three other
men who are probable uccessors-Ignatio
Marescal. present secretary of state; j.
Limantour, secretary Of finance, and Ber-
nardo Reyes, Governor of Neuvo Leon.
These men are diplomats who have won
the confidence of the childlike people whose
affairs they manage. A project is on foot
to have one of them take the presidential
chair during the summer. when Diaz will
make a tour to the United States and
visit the Paris Exposition. A law passed
two years ago gives the President author
ity TO appoint a temporary successor. 1t
will probably be Limantour. He is train
ing for that position now. The experiment
will be tried in order to accustom the peo-
pie TO change from the ruler in whom
they have for so many years placed their
confidence.
Diaz's strength with his people Is In his
democracy. He attends the Theater Ma
tional, sitting in less pretentious box than
many others. The uniform in which he is
usually photographed is at home except
upon occasion, relegated TO the wardrobe
in favor of more comfortable attire of civil
ian nature, and of better fit than the ma
jority of the apparel seen upon Mexicans
of the better class. AT the races he is not
above standing in the betting ring and
passing up to the "bookies'' the wagers Of
Americans who mistake his unostentation
for the camaraderie of the midole-class
Mexican. He is fond of hunting and, after
every two or three months of work as hard
as that of any American business man,
takes a few days vacation. spent in the
mountains hunting, fording streams up to
his breast, stalking deer unattended, Sleep
ing in an adobe hut If night finds him dis
tant from more comfortable quarters, and
bringing down game with an eye and hand
not the less steady account of his age.
In his afternoon drives the carriage he &C.
cupies is less ostentatious than that of
many of the swells who join the line Of
fashionable equipages that threads its way
through the Alameda.

New York Tribune.
New Workers have so many public din
ners every winter season that good after
dinner orators are in brisk demand, and the
more popular ones are overwhelmed with
invitations. Consequently the advent OF
every new speaker on such occasions is
closely watched TO see if he gives signs OF
promise. The consciousness of this state
OF affairs is severe handicap upon most
men and adds a great deal TO the difficulty.
always more than ample, which besets the
maker OF a suitable speech for such oc-
casions. At recent dinner given by a
prominent club a man who is unusually
young for the prominence he has won in
his chosen field rose TO respond for the
first time I'm this city TO a toast. His beard
less face was flushed and his manner en-
barassed. In hesitating tones he began:
Gentlemen: Before / entered this room
I had an excellent speech prepared. Only
God and myself knew what / was going &c

down.
