lo said that the Murats manifested any
Particular degree Of gratitude toward the United |
States for the refuge and for the hospitality
which they enjoyed here. on the contrary,
they have always been conspicuous for their
undisguised animosity toward everything Amer

Prince joachim Murat, the father Of Countess |
iouchowski was the point of wedding

children, well as his brothers and sisters. in

fith him if he became the husband of Amer
lean heiress. 1t is perfectly that the jit-
ing done by Miss Caldwell herself. but
.Ao only dismissed the Prince when, in obedi-
,.nce to the behests of his children he put for
Ward such preposterous demands OF a financial
rharacter that he knew his fiancGe could not
ronsder them. No one was more active than
Count Gouchowski in bringing about the
rupture Of his father-in-la laws engagement to
Miss Caldwell. 1t was he who carried all |
the negotiations with the Prince, and by way
oi inducing the mpecunious and spcndthrft
Joachim Murat TO yield, he undertook settle
upon him annuity of $1,000 this being
$1,000 more than the allowance which Miss
Caldwell, by the terms Of the marriage CON
tract, had assigned to the Prince. The Count
made ii perfectly clear that he entertained no
personal objection to Miss Caldwell, and that
he was only prcjud.ced against her the score
OF her nationality. For, in settling the allow
ance above mentioned upon his father law,
he stipulated that its continuance should be
conditional upon his steering clear OF trans
atlantic bellies. lie offered objection to his
marriage years later to English
widow of the wealthy Partisan banker Hahn
iuerlot.
Count GoluChowski is rich possessing large
estates in Gacia. Still, SO 600 a year is d large
sum- especially according to European ideas, for
a man to pay in order to satisfy prejudice on
his own part and on that of his wife against a |
foreign nation, and cannot help thinking
that each time the Count obliged o put his
hand into his pocket pay his father in laws
allowance his Srudge against the United states
must have been increased thereby.
INFLUENCE OF PERSONAL PREJIrDICES
Attention is called to these matters because
the personal prejudces and sentiments of
statesmen and rulers exercise a far greater
weight in political affairs and in international
relations than is generally believed. The pro
