MORGAN WAS A CURIOSITY

Windsor, Eng, June 1.-Twenty-two merican gentlemen dressed in the deep black of British courtmourning represent ing many millions of money and vast commercial interests were the guests of King Edward today at Windsor. They were the delegates of the New York Chamber of Commerce. The visit was arranged by the London Chamber of Commerce, the president of which, Lord Brazey, accompanied the party The visitors were greatly impress ed and pleased by their audience of the King. who, the Associated Press learns, was just as interested at meeting them as they were at meeting him. The King had expressed considerable curiosity to see what manner of men these multi-mil- lionaires might be. especially Messrs Morgan and Carnegie.
 As regards the latter the King was dis appointed. MT. Carnegie was unable to be present From the King down all the officiels concentrated their attention on MT. Morgan Their curiosity was not unmixed with awe. One of the high of- f1cers of the houshold humorously con fessed that an inspection of the list of visitors made them tremble lest Mir. Nor gan, or one of the other millionaires should take a fancy to Windsor and buy it. Apart from this personal point of view, the Associated Press was officially informed by Lord Pelham Clinton, the master of the household, that the King regarded the presence in England of such a representative body of American busl- ness men as highly significant of the close and friendly relatisIis existing between the two countries and in furtherance of that feeling, he was delighted to welcome them to his castle and make their &C., quaintance.
 Received by the King.
 After an inspection of the grounds the delegates were taken to the east terrace where they were received by the King They were surprised to find the Queen also present, for her appearance was quite unexpected. With the King and Queen were the Princess Victoria and the children of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York. Each delegate was formally presented to both the King and Queen, shaking their hands. This cere- mony over, the King asked the American visitors to replace their hats on their heads, and both he and the Queen began to chat in the most friendly way with the little group. The King remembered meet | ing previously William Butler Duncan and James W. Pinchot, much to their astonishment. This little reminiscence | over the royal party indulged in small talk, the Rink pointing out the beauties of Windsor's chestnut trees and referring to the need the country had for rain, and so forth His Majesty regretted the state apartments were so upsetNas to be invisi- ble. He apparently avoided business and politics beyond reiterating how glad he was to meet so many well-known men from America.
 Bowed Farewell
 When the audience was over the dele gates partook of a small feast and re- passed the King and Queen, who were having tea in the garden. The King stood up, took off his hat and bowed his farewell The delegates then returned to London
 President M K. Jessup said: We were most warmly welcomed and spent most pleasant afternoon. One of the most pleasant features was the unexpected presence of the Queen. Both she and the King were extremely affable I think the occasion will greatly strengthen the re- lations between the two countries. All the delegates Saiu praclicdhy lhe same thing.
