,DIAz VISITS WASHINGTON.
He May Appear Before Senate For
eign Relations Committee.

Washington, March 5.-While ten
sion that had been felt over the Mex
lean situation as result of the Benton
execution practically has been re-
moved in official circles here, the dis
cussion of Mexican affairs about the
capital and legislative quarters to-
day revealed broad interest in many
details of the Mexican problem.
Diaz i'm Washington.
Felix Diaz, who helped Huerta 10
overthrow Madero and later fled from
Vera Cruz, because of fear Of Huerta,
arrived here to-day. 1t is generally
supposed that he desires to appear
before the Senate foreign relations
committee, though he has submitted
no request and has avoided publicity.
Senator Shively, acting chairman of
the committee, said Diaz would be
heard, if he wished, as all informa-
tion possible on the Mexican situa-
ton was being gathered by the COM
mittee. No promise will be made for
the support of any counter revolu-
tion in Mexico, such as two Mexicans
who said they represented Diaz out
-. lined before the foreign relations
committee yesterday.
Secretary Brayn to-day appeared
before the House committee on for
eign affairs and answered questions
about conditions in Mexico. After
ward some Of the members Of the
committee said he made a favorable
impression and that resolutions call
ing for information would not be nee
essary. Representative Ainey, Re-
publican, Of Pennsylvania, however,
who has resolution pending calling
for information on the Mexican stu
alton, issued statement declaring
that the House was entitled to re-
ceiVe the facts and that they should
be made public.
English Papers Comment.
London, March 5.-The policy Of
the United States toward Mexico Oc-
cupied a leading place in editorial
columns of the English newspapers
again to-day.
The Evening Standard discovers "a
marked change in the whole trend Of
American foreign policy. Instead Of
naughty isolation,' based on the
the United States is now becoming
anxious to stand we'll with the Eu-
ropean Powers. The government at
Washington is apprehensive lest if it
became involved in Intervention in
Mexico, Japan might seize the occa-
sion to carry her ambitious designs
on the Philippines and Hawaii into
effect and believes that Europe, If so
disposed, could lay an embargo on
Japanese ambitions"

Close friends of John ID. Rockefel-
Ter have learned that he will make
his home in the future at his estate
near Tarrytown, n. Y. This has al
ways been his favorite residence. but
he has spent part of each year at
his Cleveland, Ohio, home for the
sake OF Mrs. Rockefeller. Recent ac-
tions of the Ohio tax commission in
seeking to establish his legal resi-
dence there, however, have displeased
Mr.. Rockefeller and are said to be
responsible for his decision to quit
ONO Tor good and pay his enormous
tax IN New York. An estimate
places his income at about $lOO,OOO,-
600 year, of which the govern
ments share Of 6 per cent, would be
$6,O0O,oOO. This is, without doubt.
the largest individual tax that will
be collected.
information which the New York
Herald has received from a reliable
source is that Mr.. Rockefeller is
lighting the valuation Of $0OO,OOO,-
O00 placed on his property by the
ONO commissioners on the ground
that, while he might at one time have
mad that much property, most Of it
has been given away. He has given

Carnegie Down for 5000, 900.
Next to Mr.. Rockefeller Andrew
Carnegie will feel heaviest the
weight OF the income tax law. Esti-
mates place his fortune at $3OO,OOO,-
600, yielding an income of $15.OOO,-
600 year. The tax on this will be
$9OO,OOO. There il; some difference
OF opinion whether William Rookie
teller may not have to pay even
more than this, as some estimates
place his income at $20,000,0OO a
year, in which case his tax would be
S1,20O,000. This estimate, however.
is regarded as rather high, and $500
900 is believed to be nearer to the
assessment which will he imposed
upon him.
George f. Baker comes next, with
an estimated fortune Of $10O,OOO,-
600 and an income Of $5,0OO,O0O,
which will cost him 100000. VIM.
A. Clark will probably be asked to
paySalput $240,000 on fortune of
$80iGo0,000. The estate of J. p.
Morgan, estimated at $75,0OO,0OO,
will pay $450,0OO.
Mrs. E. X. Hartman will have to
pay tax Of about $4,000 anu
Mrs. Russell Sage 100000. Vim
cent Astor's tax will be in the neigh
borhood of $225,000, as will also that
