Of
courso tho king has debts, but, as tho
World learns by Inquiries In quarters whom
tho facts are known, these debts, owing to
tho exertions of one of Edward's multi
millionaire friends, Sir Ernest Cassol, have
been consolidated on satisfactory terms
and aro being paid off easily by a

$1,760,000 worth of tho king's acceptances,
but his widow handed these back to tho
king, acting upon the verbal Instructions of
her husband to cancel them.
This experience, which might have turnod
out differently In other hands, showed tho
king the advisability of regularizing his
liabilities. Sir ErneBt Casscl undertook
tho duty, anil all the rnmalnlnR creditors
will bo pnld off, tho money being advanced
by Cassel to an amount variously estimated
at between $3,000,000 and 51,000,000. The
dohts wero funded, and a scheme is now In
operation under which they all will bo
discharged within twelvo years, or, If tho
king dies meanwhile, tho hulk will bo met
by Insurance nnd tho duke of ork Is so
curlty for tho remainder. For thh service
Cassel was knighted. It Is understood that
thu kaiser's Inlluciico has a good deal to
do with his undertaking tho work.

Tho king has now set about providing o
largo proportion of the sinking fund re-
qutremonts by Having on tho royal house-
hold. It is stated that ho has already
navcd nearly ilfiO.OOO a year by cutting down
numerous expenses Incurred by his mother,
and when nil his economies come
into operation he will savo doublo
that amount by cutting thera out of
tho flxod expenditures of tho court.
Ho already makes a considerable lncomo
from his Hackney stud at Sandrliighnm,
and the managers of the royal cattle farm
at Windsor have been notified that in the
future they will bo expected to Bhow a
largo profit Instead of merely earning ex
penses, as under the queen.
Tho king has appointed a wealthy
"banker" friend, Lord Karquehar, as mas
ter of tho royal household, thus not only
saving tho salary, $5,000, paid to tho pre
vious masters, but also acquiring all the
perquisites hitherto appertaining to the
position, nnd securing a trained business
man to mntiago tho affairs of Ills house
hold.
The klnRshlp will ho run In the futuro on
ntrlctly business lines nnd I'dward Is shat
tering on every hand tho sentiment which
entiled his mother In maintaining tho old-
fashioned regal Ideas, under which Jobbery,
Incompetence and heedless waste nourished.

Mr. Carnegie at first accepted the ordeal
In a spirit of fun, but tho stones and thorns

WASHINGTON April 27. Tho Cuban
delegation completed its labors lu Wash
ington today, lu the morning tho delegates
met Secretary Boot, who escorted them to
tho Whlto House, where they had a final
and decisive tnlk with the president. Then
they pnld visits of courtesy to each of the
oillclals whom they have met nnd Ilnally
they started for Now York nt 11 o'clock
tonight, homeward hound. They will call
for Havana Wednesdny.
Tho proceedings at the Whlto Houso wcro
Interesting and important. Senor Capote
acted us spokesman for the delegation. He
thanked tho president for tho many courte
sies shown them, which they accepted ns
expression of good will to the Cuban peo
ple. Ho Invited the president to visit and
sec for himself the condition In tho Islands,
and lenrn from contnet with tho inhabitants
of tho lovo and affection which Cubans have
for tho United States and their apprecia
tion of whut has been done for them by this
government In their struggle for freedom.
Senor Capote ubked tho president to do
something for tho Cubans upon an economic
lino and particularly In tho matter of reci
procal trado relations. He said that It was
especially desirable to havo somotblng of
this kind done beforo tho noxt crop was
harvested, lu order that tho Cubans may
seize thu advantages to them of the closer
political anil economic relations with tho
United States.
In reply, the president said It was impos
sible to settle the economic questions until
tho political questions were disposed of. Ho
told tho delegates llrst to form their gov
ernment nnd then they would ho In a posi
tion to enter Into negotiations with tho
United States ns to trade relations.
Cntiotc I'leuilii Poverty.
Senor Capote responded that something
ought to bu done whllo the Cuban govern
ment was forming. Ho thought that while
tho United States was exorcising control
there might bo arrangements perfected sim
ilar to those under contemplation by '.he
secretary of wnr In 1S98, when the govern
mcnt first passed under control of the
United States. He told the president that
tho Cuban republic did not wish to bo born
In poverty und rags, and If It could not bo
wealthy It would nt least prefer to havo
something with which to support Itself
and to have Its people In prosperous condl
tlons, or with prosperous conditions Immo
dlntely beforo them.
The president again reverted to the fact
that under tho present conditions, ns thu
secrotury of war had advised them, ho did
not see how It was posslblo to settle any
economic questions beforo tho Cuban cab
inet was formed. Ho would appoint com
mlsstoncrs Immediately after a government
wns organized to negotlato with similar
commissioners from the Cuban government
for reciprocal trade relations, nnd he bu
llcvcd that tho United States would he
ready to deal In a manner which would he
beneficial to both countries. Ho thanked
tho delegntes for tho Invitation to visit the
Island and told them to assure tho Cuban
people of his friendly Interest In them nnd
his desire to seo them contented and pros
perous. Hoot In Coiinlileriilily lliilirexaeil,
Senor Capote, speaking to Secretary Boot,
oxprctaed tho hopo that In the Interviews
that had been held ho had said nothing In
his oarnestness and nrgunicnt which was In
any way offonilve. Tho secretary replied
that, on tho contrary, ho highly appreciated
tho nrgumontB of Senor Capoto, and his
knowledge of tho questions had increased
his admiration and respect for the legal
nbllltles and keenness of tho Cuban people.
Tho delegates then shook hands with the
president nnd departed.
General Capote later said to an Asso
ciated PrcsB reporter: "We havo con
cluded our business here. Wo have had two
Interviews with tho president and four
with tho secretary of war, during which nil
matters we camo to discuss, had full and
minute consideration. Wu came to con
sider the relations between Cuba and tho
United States, and theso, both political and
economical, hnve hau tho most careful at
tention. Wo return to Cuba and will de
liver to tho constitutional convention all
tho Information we have ubtalned Informa
tion vhlch Is highly Important and Inter
esting." Generul Capoto spoke In high terms of
Secretary Boot. Ho said that tho questions
wero of national Importance and that tho
conferences were conducted with tho enro
that serious matters under consideration
demanded.
Wlml Wood Think-..
General Wood oUo left tonight for Flor
ida, whence be will sail on a government
vessel for Cuba, Mrs. Wood, who came on
with the governor general to visit her sis
ter, who was formerly Miss Condlt-Smlth,
whom she had not seen since the lnttor's
experience lu Pokln during tho slcgo there,
returned with her husband.
General Wood had an hour's talk with the
president today before bis departure. Ho
did not care to speak for publication of his
opinion of the result of tho visit of the
Cuban commission. There bad been a
mutual understanding nt tbo confereaces
that no specific statement ns to results
should bo given out on either stdo in ad
vanco of tho commission's report tn the
constitutional convention. Thoro nro many
political Judges among tho Cubans nt homo
nnd General Wood said anything mudo pub
lic nt this time might be liable, to miscon
struction nnd lend to friction. General
Wood, however, does not hesitate to state
that tho Cubans have been Impressed with
tho treatment they havo received and tho
attentions shown them, and to say that
undoubtedly they return with a more cor
rect understanding of the meaning of tho
terms of tho Piatt amendment and of tho
sincere desire of tho American government
to put Cuba on Its feet as an Independent
government than they had before'.

LONDON, April 27. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram,) Mrs, Hart,
man, whom King Edward has made a life
tenant of White lodge, Is a woman of whom
tho most Is heard and tho least known at
this moment in London socloty. So little
knowledge existed of her antecedents, even
omong the king's perconal circle, that she
was thought to bo nn American, but the
World learns that sho only passed romo
years of her early matrled Ufa In New York
nnd Chicago. Her husbnnd afterward f.ado
great fortune out of an upholstery Bluff
xnown ns red turkey twill. Both nro Juvs
and hall from Frankfort. Her maiden name
was Stcller. She Is now CO years old.
For thlrty-flvu years Mrs. Hartman has
enjoyed the friendship of royalties, espe
cially that of tho prince and princess of
Wnles. Her handsome house, at No. S9
Berkeley square, next door to Alfred
HarmsNs or th's, was always at tho prince of
Wales' disposal for n quiet luncheon to
meet a few chosen Intimates, or when ho
felt In the humor for a dinner, '.ollowcd
by bridge whist or baccarat.
The princess also esteemed Mrs. Hart-
man, who often visited S.itidrlnghntn, and
was called by her Christian name by all cf
the prince of Wales family. Mrs. Hart
man occasionally had Italian opera tars,
Padcruwskl nnd other famous tnstrumon
tallsts perform for the princess and three
or four other friends, Her ontcrtnlnmintB
wcro nlwnys small nnd', extremely select.
Then on birthdays nnd other appropriate
occasions sho Invariably gavo valuable
presents to Wnles' family. Sho Is an adept
at making herself agreeable to royalties.
Nothing sho ever does for her royal friends
Is ever advertised In tho society papers.
This was hor sheet anchor with tho king.
Tho World learns that tho circumstances
under which sho got Whlto lodgo nio
deemed a monument to her tact and thn
king's keenness to take ndvantago of a
good opportunity. Whlto lodgo, she know,
was something of n whlto elephant to tl o
king, who did not want the duko nnd
duchess of Cornwall Installed there, viilc
ho did not enre to Incur tho xp:nso of
maintaining It himself. Mrs. Hnrtman, In
these trying circumstances, petitioned I ho
king to rent It to her, an olfer which Ud-
ward was most graciously pleased to hc
ccpt, nnd ho llxed tbo rental at ?11,:50,
knowing that In her hands the house would
bo absolutely at his disposal and bo prop
erly kept up without expense to him, while
tho rent also was a consideration.
.Meantime tho transaction completely
mystifies tho public press, which doesn't
know what It means, hut tho king's Inti
mates understand It well.

tho duchess has a superstition ngalnst
building on n church slto; according to an
other, difficulty has arisen nbout providing
adequate stabling nccommodatloos, as the
cascholders of tho house adjoining asked
preposterous terms when tho duko proposed
to buy them out.
WharncIIffo houso, facing his site on tho

stables on tho other site, with a subway
connecting his houso with tho stables.

should mnko tho closing argument.
Mr. Shlolds argued for three-quarlors of
an hour, Joining together tho links lu tho

from Hurrls, the Ubo of tho pony hy tho
nmn who threw thu ransom-demanding noto
Into Mr. Cudnhy's yard, tho renting of tho
Schneldorwltid cottage, tho carrying away
and Imprisonment of tho hoy nnd pointed
out thu connection of Cnllahnn and Crowe

declaring that ho had not seen Crowe sluco
December 1, had unwittingly on cross-examination
admitted that ho nnd Crowe hnil
mot at Mrs. Kclly'a residence, on December
1C, two days beforo tho kidnaping. Callahan
had said that Crowo had come tu Mrs.

como there on tho same erraud, was thoru
at tho tlmo and met Crowe. Mrs. Ilutler

about thn horso on December 1G, tho aamo
day tho horse was advertised for Halo In a
newspaper. A copy of thu newspaper con
taining the advertisement, dated December

ho no doubt thut Callahan had provon him
