WITH UNPOPULAR INTERESTS Countess of Warwick Looking for an as American Tenant for Historic War wick Castle New York's Club's Un sportsmanlike Attitude Toward Lipton. NEW YOKE, Oct. 15. It is tbe talk among politicians who are "in tie know" that developments of a most sensational character ma? crow out of the Ivins . investigation of the Ryan-Beimont trac tioo interests in this city, indeed, it is said that if the probe goes deep enough one of the New York's candidates for the Presidential nomination may have his hopes blasted for all time by the production of evidence tending to show that he is the political creature of cer tain monied interests now in excessively bad repute. . In "those dear dead days now gone beyond recall," when the game of prac tical politics was played for all it was worth, and the widest possible license given to all participants, such talk as one now hears in clubs and hotel lobbies would not have been frought with great danger to the aspirant around whom the conversation centers. In those days, the statement, even if indubitably proved, that a powerful but obnoxious man of wealth, representing huge but highly un popular corporate interests, had contri fcuted to the election of a candidate for s great office in those days, I say, such doings would have been regarded as a matter of course and the proposition would not have excited more than mo mentary comment. But in these sensi tive times, when the public is fully awake to the frightful dangers that ac company the use of corporation money in politics, the mere hint that a high executive officer owes his present politi cal altitude to such help, is apt to prove damning. And in this particular ease the effect will be all the more hurtful because of the "holier-then-thou" atti tude which the official most concerned has always occupied in the public eye. In effect, the story that is now causing the politicians to chuckle is that by the appointment of a commission to investi gate the street railway doings and deal ings in this much burdened city, Gov ernor Charles E. Hughes may find him self "hoist by his own petard." A large Bum of money devoted by the Ryan Brady -Belmont interests to some cause or other has not yet been accounted for and the destruction of the books prob ably means that its recipients will for ever remain a mystery; but a fairish in dication of how such money goes was given by that eminent accelerator of public opinion, Mr. Lemuel Eli Quigg, in his testimony at the Ivins inquiry last week. Mr. Quigg's admission that he was the tool of the Eyan-Brady-Belmont crowd in the organization of every form of demonstration for or against any proposition that they favored or antago nized, was no news to those people who know the methods of his employers. When men of the ilk of Ryan, Brady, SheoliRn, Belmont and McCarren go in for patriotism and civic improvement the trail of the serpent of "high" finance is very apt to be found In the immediate neighborhood of their operations. With them business is politics, and politics is business. Their keen interest and their hard cash was given to the pushing of Judge Alton B. Parker (now colloquially known as "the Belmont Lemon") to wards the Presidency: and it ia to be assumed that they stand ready- at all times to push anybody who they think will best serve them. ' ' Naturally the interests represented by these men and their Standard Oil and railway allies are not to be conserved by the election of a man who is pledged to the continuation of the policies inaugu rated by Mr. Roosevelt, which would be the case in the event of the election of Secretary Taft. Therefore it ia said that they have selected Governor Charles E. Hughes aa the candidate, of the Re publican party who is least likely to be inimical to the great monied interests of the country; and hence that there will be no lack of money in the effort to push Hr. Hughes into first place. In this movement, these rich alleged democrats will be aided and abetted by the Republican interests that have been antogonized by the Roosevelt adminis tration. But it is plain that the rank and file prefer Taft, and will fight even the endorsement of another man. Purit anism in polities is as unforgivable as Phariseism; and a public counting of phrlactaries on the part of an aspirant for high political honors has never yet met with popular approval It is whispered that Governor Hughes has declared to his intimates that he would not again be a candidate for the gubernatorial chair. Inasmuch as he has given no indication of retiring from politics, this is taken to mean that he is candidate for Presidency. Hence the question is pertinent: Can Mr Hughes, for many years a corporation lawyer, hope to win against the evidence which may be adduced, mat ms nomination and election was aided by corporation money? The people at large are aweary of cor porate influences in politics, and it is not enturing too much to say that Taft will carry the public's money in the next Presidential race Indeed, it now looks like Taft, of Ohio, and Chandler, New York. They are both men of high character, untainted by an connec tion, past or present, with corporation j interests or crooked politics, both 1 , NV l, s - ' v. , I . .

It seems plausible enough in view of the well known fact that the fair Countess's income has been greatly diminished br the agricultural depres sion that is becoming such a grave ques tion to landlords in England.

D0NNERBER6, R. ELEVENTH AND BOND STS. When anything of general interest is mooted m the way of legislation or ad ministrative action, certain New York papers have a custom of submitting to prominent men throughout the country, the question of the movement s advisa bility. Just now the matter of the great fleet beins sent to the Pacific is under inquiry by the press. , It is rather astonishing that the ma jority, of the answers thus far have up held Mr. Roosevelt's plans; and even many of the people adverse to the prop osition admit that it is of sensational interest, and that they will watch the movments of the fleet and the develop ments therefrom with much interest. The fact made most evident by these replies, however, is that the President does not seem to have lost anything of his personal popularity, or that the be POLITIC GOSSIP AD . ....

Many writers hazard guesses as to the underlying motive, their opinions ranging all the way from a supposition that Secretary Metcalf wishes to be the next senator from California to the belief that it is a deep-laid plan of the General Navy Board to force Congress fiito heavy appropriations for great docks and ship yards at Pacific ports The fear of any quarrel with Japan seems to have dis appeared from serious consideration. It is now rumored that the purpose ful, therefore, if the Court of Chancery could be prevailed upon to sanction the sale to a foreigner and particularly to an American of so famous a show place as Warwick Castle, although it is said that Lady. Warwick's eldest son, Lord Brooke, would offer no opposition to the abrogation of the great property's en tailment. A Pittsburg millionaire is said to be dickering with her ladyship for a lease on the castle. Visitors to Gotham will hail with de light the attempt to establish a cab ser vice in this city that permits the use of vehicles by persons that have not yet attained to the multi-millionaire class. Heretofore so exorbitant have been the rates charged that persons of moderate means were practically debarred from using cabs without feeling that they were courting bankruptcy. Even the somewhat liberal rates prescribed by city ordinance as legal was never considered, unless the passenger chose to risk per sonal violence by insisting on his rights. The attempt now made by one company to furnish cab service at tbe rate of 50 cents for the first hour and 40 cents for each additional hour consequently seems almost revolutionary. It has just been computed by the bond ing companies of this city that no less than $5,482,687 was stolen by clerks and officials from banks and institutions throughout the United States during the first six months of the present year. About one-half of these stolen millions went to Wall Street, and the remainder was spent on race tracks, wine and women and automobiles I A question the New York -Yacht Club finds embarrassing to answer is: Why ihould that institution (which in mat ters of international maratime sport is epresentative of the spirit of the entire vountry) insist on Sir Thomas Lipton APPEAL REJECTED.
