IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES.

DR.. Robert Brodnax, formerly Of Vir-
ginia, now a resident of Alaska, passed
through Washington a few days ago on
his way to New York, after visit to his
old home in the old dominion.
1.-THE gold in Alaska will hold out hun
dreds of years, I believe" he told a Star
reporter, because there are many places
that have yet to be visited by the miner
where the precious metal will be found in
abundance. The ground seems literally
to be made of gold. Hardly locality has
yet been visited that has not yielded thou
sands and thousands of dollars worth of
it. And don't let any one believe that 1t
does not take a lot Of time and a great
deal Of trouble to get it. In some parts
Of the country mining operations can be
carried on only about three months in the
year. The ground is frozen, and it is only
possible to dig about four feet below the
surface. Each claim contains twenty
acres, however, and you can appreciate the
trouble and strength that has to be expend-
ed before anything can be taken out that
will pay the miner.
'I started about two years ago and
located in the Cape Nome district. There
I was fortunate enough to find good part
ner, and we left Nome for newer and
try about two hundred miles up the coast
and l now have twelve claims there. 1t is
probably the richest locality in the entire
territory. The sand on the beach at Nome
was literally filled with gold when first
arrived in Alaska. There are many for
tunes there yet, but it is very difficult to
secure metal in paying quantities. 1 ex-
pect to return to Alaska during the sum-
mer. and believe by that time many new
fields will have been opened to the miner
that are unknown now A person unfa-
miliar with the conditions in Alaska would
hardly do well in forsaking business in
the states to become one Of the hundreds
OF hangers on at the mining camp. The
work of mining the ore Is very difficult
and requires a man of great physical en-
durance. Then. besides. the chances are

one to go to Alaska

''The bright tobacco crop viii not be as
large this year as it was last" said Mr..
Walter c. Ficklen Of Halifax, Va, at the
Metropolitan. 1.-The farmers are too much
interested in the development of the cot
ton industry in the south to pay much at
tention to tobacco. The high prices which
that staple brought last fall and winter
have dazzled the eyes Of the average Vir-
ginia and North Carolina agriculturist and
the result will be that small quantity of
tobacco will be planted. 1t is surprising
to me that an intelligent farmer would
thus chase a shadow. It is hardly pos
sible that cotton win bring a high price

The matter of erecting a new building has
been agitated for some time back but il
never came to a decided head until last
month, when gang of men, under the
leadership of a health inspector, took pos
session of the station early one morning
and commenced tearing up the floors
These floors had been condemned as nui-
sances several times, but the various rail-
way corporations using the depot had paid
no attention to the oenunciations of the
healtn officials. That put the city authori-
ties on their mettle and a raid was made
on the depot with axes. The company
managing the structure promptly secured
an injunction against the city officers, and
WORK was stopped when about half of the
rotten flooring had been torn up. Permis-
SION was granted to relay the floor, new
boarding being used. The matter SO thor
oughly awakened the railroads that thew
nave promised to erect q handsome new
station as soon as they can secure the AL
iotment OF ground. 1t is very probable that
the new building will be constructed on or
near the site Of the present structure"

principally the desire Of the farmer to
make more money than he has DONE there
Dy causing an oVerproduction. A number
OF men who have heretofore been content
with the profits from other staples will
plant cotton, and the result will be far
larger production than there has been in
the south since the days before the war,
when labor cost comparatively nothing.
Consequently, the price will drop back.
There has been very great demand for
American cotton throughout the world,
and the people Of the south have awaken
ed to the fact that they can raise and
weave their goods at a smaller cost and
with greater profit to themselves than
could be made in sending the stun north
or to England for manufacture. A great
many mills have been started in the Caro-
linas, Georgia and Alabama, and the num-
Der Is increasing every day. But even
with this enormous increase in manufac-
ture there will be a far greater increase
in the number Of bales grown with a con-
sequent falling in price. The decrease in
the number of planters who will SOW to-
bacco this spring will not materially affect
the sales In the warehouses next winter,
but 1t will undoubtedly have a depressing
effect the year following Last years crop
is still in the drying houses and is not quite
ready for market. 1t will probably surpass
the production this year, for the present
season shows a decrease of over 100000
pounds over last year"

"If you want to see business In the hotel
line come to Washington. That is what l
am going to tell my friends when I go
home" said Mr.. B. ]. Taylor of Decatur,
ILL.,, at the Shoreham. IT never saw any
thing like it. OF course you might expect
a rush for the Inauguration, but according
to my way Of calculating a correspondingly
dull season should follow. But has It?
Not at all. Look at the hotel registers and
you will see that yesterday, for instance. a
dull day In hotel circles generally. at least a
page is filled with the names Of new guests.
In many Of the American plan hostelries
the number of names on the register Is in
creased by the dinner guests But the vol
ume of business done by the European
houses is what tells the tale. The clerk
tells me that 1t is a regular thing here. /

tient, persevering. even tempered and just
in all his dealings. He has none of the
fiery impatience and hot temper Of the
peninsular Spaniard.
His wife, Dona Carmen Romero Rubio de
Diaz, is very highly accomplished ard
charming woman, who has had great deal
to do with the softening and refining of
her husbands character which has been
so manifest in the later years of his life.
Mrs. DiaZ is an ardent Catholic and 1t is
undoubtedly due to her influence that this
church has been treated with less severity
than in previous years. A vast majority OF
the Mexican people are of the Catholic
faith, and there is small probability that
the Protestant Church will make any con-
siderable headway for many years to come
The Catholic Church is, however, adopting
broader and more progressive policy and
thus Strengthening it's hold upon country
which is casting aside many long -cstab-
lished customs and traditions.
President DiaZ has a keen sense of ilumor
and sees the funny side Of nearly every
thing which comes to his notice. 1t is
this sense of humor which has enabled him
to overcome many difficulties and ac-
complish so much good with SO little wear
and tear upon his mind or body.
Theories Regarding Size.
He has had several very curious fads
which have been noticed by his close
friends At one time he took fancy for
deaf men, believing, as he said that they
were more secretive than those whose hear
ing was acute. He gave this up after
reaching the conclusion that deaf men
thought slowly, and that he cannot toll
crate. At one time he had fancy for very
small men, his theory being that the small
er man was the quicker he could think.
This theory he also discarded later, believ-
ing that he had discovered small men to be
too talkative and self-opinionated. Presi-
dent Diaz himself is not tall man, al
though he gives one that impression at the
first meeting. He is hardly over five feet
eight inches, though rather heavy set At
all state occasions he stands upon a raised
him. The dignity of state and the uniform
he wears add considerable to his apparent
size.
In Manner and Thought.
The president Is deliberate of thought and
speaks as though each sentence had been
carefully framed before it was uttered. His
manners are direct and sincere, though he
Is courteous to fault and has all the per-
sonal grace Of a man accustomed to meet
and associate with the high-bred, polished
sons of peninsular Spain. He is immensely
proud of his country and takes to himself
with considerable justness large amount
of the credit for its recent DEVELOPMENT.
He believes that his policies are those best
suited to his country and his people, and
that in time they will lead to a greatness
beyond that dreamed Of at present. His
one thought in retaining the Office of pres
| fled to retire has been to maintain peace
and continue the growth and development
begun during his administration. There is
little doubt that his only thought in in
fuencing choice Of successor Is to provide
man who will carry out the Diaz policies

Mr.. j. s. Tomilson, secretary of the Caro-

has complained to the District Commission
ers that few days ago he noticed a man
on top OF the company's house extending
a telephone or some similar wire without
authority OF the owner of the house. He
requested the man not to use any part of
the house as support for the wire until
his company was granted permission to do
SO, but his protest was ignored and the
wire attached. Mr.. Tomilson, in making
his complaint, desired to know II there IS
any law or regulation by which such
things can be prevented.
In reply, the Commissioners will invite
Mr.. Tomflsons attention to the fact that
when they grant permission for the erec-
tion of telephone and other wires, they
specifically state therein that such per-
mits do not authorize the use of private
property without the consent of the own
ers thereof. They will also invite his at
tention to a recent opinion of the attorney
for the District, in which that officer
stated:
THE owner of private property, over
which wires have been strung without his
consent. has his remedies. He would be
justified in cutting such wires or other
wise removing them, and the parties
stringing such wires would be liable, civ
lily and criminally. for trespass."

CITY OF MEXICO, March Q, 1901.
Not very long ago President Diaz gave an
audience as is his custom, to a delegation
who were touring the Mexican republic.
The spokesman for the crowd had prepared
for the occasion He had either written or
committed to memory a long speech, in
which he threw numerous bouquets to the
Mexicans and their chief executive. lie
spoke I'm fiowery language of the deep love
and affection which he alleged existed be-
tween Americans and Mexicans. and in the
most extravagant terms predicted a close
and everlasting union between the two
countries. President Diaz listened respect
fully to this address. and thanked the
Americans there assembled for the senti-
ments therein conveyed. but in making
reply to the suggestion of an alliance he
said. simply and directly:
IF Mexico got into trouble, we would
necessarily look to our great northern
neighbor for support. / believe, however.
that the personal relations of individual
Americans to individual Mexicans. founded
upon sentiment, do not count for much In
national affairs. After all is said and done.
