AT THE HOTELS.

. IiSfpoHt morgan, the WORLDS great
est financier and art Maeeenas. is at
the New Willard He did not register;
he never does, wherever he may be.
That Is one Of his peculiarIties, and
there Is a reason. Whenever the man
OF millions is In this city, there is much
activity among newspaper correspond
ents 70 get next TO him" for a, story.
As rule, they are disappointed, for Mr..
Morgan seldom talks for publication.
When he does, there Is a reason. He
did not have much to say, ether than
that II he had any news, he would be-
only too glad 10 dispense it. II was sug-
gested TO him that he might be here In
connection with the hearing Of the rail-
road presidents before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Mr. Morgan pro-
tested that this was not the case; that
he would try to leave town before the
railroad presidents pull in. Again it was
suggested 20 him that he might be hero
IN competition with the meeting Of the
trustees Of the Peabody Fund, and he
said that that might be the case. He
thought IL would be a good idea not 10
inform the public that he is IN town.
Another man about whom much was
printed during the last political cam
paign is at the New Willard-John Lind.
former governor OF Minnesota. The
Democratic party, at It's last State con-
ventiOn, made every effort TO persuade
Mr. Lind to accept the gubernatorial
nomination. but he remained adamant
10 their arguments and appeals. Gov
Lind said that he is here on business, the
nature OF which he did not specify. He
was asked his opinion regarding the
political outlook, and was assured that
by outlook" was meant the other one.
not T. RS. Gov Lind smiled. and said
that the latter was not an issue disposed
of, by any means That is all the Min
nesotan vouchsafed.

We're detailed by the French government

efnoon as they pTomenaded down Fiji

the fact that they were attracting more
attention than a circus.
Baron James Rothschild, who was re-
Gently In this city with his kinsman, the
Hon. Neil Primrose, NJ. p. second son
Of Lord Rosebery. whose wife was Miss
Hannah Rothschild. is a son Of Baron
Edmond Rothschild. and has inherited
from his father, who belongs 10 the
French Jockey Club. a pronounced taste
for the turf Edmond Rothschild. ike
his brother Gustave and the late Al
phonse de Rothschild, is a son of the
old Baron ROthsehild who plsyed so
important a role in Partisan life during
the reign Of King Louis Philippe and OF
Napoleon III. being, indeed, the founder
and chief OF the French branch OF tie
firm.
There is one feature about the Roth
schilds which IL may be worth while 10
mention here, in connection with the late
visit Of Baron James. A rule which the
Rothschilds make is never 10 appeal TO
the courts or 10 the police IN the cases
OF those who have defrauded the firm in
the slightest degree. OF course. they
are. like all other bankers, occasionally
the victims OF dishonesty. But neither
the police nor the public ever hear about
the matter from them. This has always
been a principle of the heads Of the
house. who take the ground that Il is
better 10 bear their losses in silence
than to disturb popular confidence in the
safety OF the concern by allowing il 10
be known that its treasures are not ade-
quately safeguardeG Thus, nobody
would have learned OF the fact that the
estate OF the late Baron Nathaniel
Rothsehild, of Vienna, had been defraud-
ed OF more than TWO millions by julius
Schuster. one OF the most trusted en-
ployes Of the firm, had 1t not been for
the fact that the man had the incredible
impudence TO threaten proceedings for
his dismissal, expecting apparently that
the desire OF the ROthsehilds 10 avoid
notOriety at all costs would lead them
/ 70 make still further pecuniary sacri-
/ fees in order 10 secure his silence. In
this he was disappointed.
The Mexican troubles will be settled by
the Mexican government, and the Ameri-
can government viii not in any way IL
teTfere. according 10 James R. Williams,
Of Mexico and New York. who was seen
at the Raleigh last night.
''The present disturbances are primarily
aimed at the Americans" said Mr. Will
Jams "Mexicans in certain parts OF
Mexico, especially where American in
terests predominant. are becoming afraid
of the ever growing American influence.
President Diaz of Mexico is the friend
OF America and the protector of Ameri-
can Interests in Mexico. he having at
/ tracted those interests to his country
since he became a political power in his
land The American government Is aware
OF the fact that Diaz is Americas cham
pion in every way, and will therefore
support him and approve his every action
in putting down the present disturbance.
By rebelling against Diaz, those who are
al the bottom of the revolt are aiming
a blow at American interests"
