sentative does not walk the strets today without receiving many friendly salutes. He is invariably given the lar respect in this city.
 Mr. Lind himself finds the attitude of the people extremely friendly. AL most every resident of the ely knows him by sight and majority of them | recognize him as he passes. In the role of confidential advisor to the President of the United States he nat urally canno. become much of mix CT" and most of his outings are long | solitary walks. In spite of the heat
 he has stuck to his dark clothing,
 making no concessions in the way of linen or duck which is the customary apparel here. He has even discarded the wide-brimmed panama which he purchased after the theft of his hat recently, and now appears in a pearl gray fel,.
 One of his favorits walks is across the railroad yards to the edge of the
 town from which point he takes a semi-circular course through the out skirts. If he has any fears of attack. | he does not show them. Reports
 that he was afraid have only caused him annoyance because they bring | messages from Mrs. Lind importun- ing him to go aboard one of the Amer ican waships for safety. He chooses Nou,aVar +o live amonu tbp Mpyioanc and he has taken up residence in the city at the American Consulate, hay ing recently left the Terminal Hotel, which was his home for many weeks.
 Persons seeking business with the American representative do not find rounds this reception. They are di- rected mp a flight of stairs at the head of which is his open door. and he spends so much time in his room that he may invariably be found in during the ordinary business hours
 His room-his only ~Toom. which serves for the reception iof his guests. the conduct Of his business and for the sleeping quarters--is next door to that of Consul Canada. It is quite like that of living room of a com fortable American farm house but striking feature is the lack of win dows. lattice door opening upon a balcony which surrounds an inter for court serves, however, to admit some light and air.
 A square table spread with green patterned cover stands in the middle of the room. It is usually filtered with books and papers and pasted clippings among which Governor (for his gubernatorial honors in Min nesota still cling to him here) may often be found hopelessly searching for something he wants. Just as he is expected to reach the state of OK asperation. however, he gives up the hunt and good humoredly remarks; 'I must have filed that in the waste basket"
 Other features of his quarters sug- gest democratic simplicity. His only trunk is perched on a pine box in a corner to render it's contents more accessible, and in another corner Of the room stands his plain iron bed.
 Amid these surroundings MT. Lind receives his visitors usually with such affability that they jump to the conclusion that he will readily divluge some inside information" of the re- lations between his country and Mex ico. But the Governor is both impen- etrabIe and imperturable. He will readily discuss conditions in Mexico so far as they effect the bean crop. quoting statistics of the annual con sumption, and cover such a range of topics concerning the country and the people that many who have inter viewed him have come away with the conviction that he is the best inform ed American in Mexico. Off hand he can sketch the life oi almost every Mexican of prominence in the capital and almost tell what General Huerta is thinking, but as to his own thoughts or the intention of his chief in the White House he remains eordi-
 ally silent.
 The visitor departs with sense of having been the man interviewed, for Mir. Lind has a faculty of absorbing all that caller may bring him and
 giving in exchange interesting but in- nocuous information.
 He recently told an incident of the street when a Mexican of the better class seized his hand as he passed
 and pressed it to his lips for kiss.
 The stranger said something in Span ish which the Governor only partially
 understood but he interpreted 1t as a tribute to him for his share in the affair of Felix Daz's flight.
 Mir Lind's staff consists of one as- | sistant, who is Clinton, E. MacEach- ran, who was sent down from the l State Department at Washington and
 originally assigned to duty at the Elm
 bassy in Mexico City but appropriat'
 ed by Mir. Lind.
