(New Tork World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) The World correspondent today met In Paris a prom inent roemb r of the Belgian government. This man, although absolutely devoted to King Leopold and the royal dynasty, wu rnoet pessimistic as to the future of the royal household. "The king," he said, "made a deplorable mistake In bis attitude toward Countess Lonyal. The Incident will yet prove bis undoing. The public protest has been tem porarily subdued on account of the sol emnity of the circumstances, but the In dignation of the people still rankles, and, as la will be judiciously fanned by King Leopold's enemies, It will soon burst Into auch a storm that the king's abdication will be unavoidable within six months. Possibly Prince Albert will then be allowed to ascend the throne, but a graver revolu tion Is more likely, which will result In the establishment of a republic, "King Leopold has lately grown Intensely unpopular. His supercilious detachment from the affairs of the kingdom, his con tinuous escapades In Paris and Nice, his curious financial manipulations In connec tion with the Congo state, his practical abandonment of the queen. Oven after ber physicians hsd warned him that she was doomed, his cruelty to Princess Louise of Coburg and now to Countess Lonyal, to gether with the surrender of all his power Into the1 bands of the reactionary clerical party, have finally rendered King Leopold's Veiy uauia loaiuauuje lo Ilia auikiua auJ middle classes. The aristocracy alone, whose privileges run with his, support him. "The king, however, will not be surprised or displeased when an abdication la wrought from hlra. He has long looked forward to the possibility of enjoying his Immense fortune In freedom. Most of his money la now Invested In Prance, England and America. He la. now building a fine resi dence In Paris and Is all ready to mors out of Belgium. "However, It he finds the movement la likely to dispossess his cherished nephew. Ktug Leopold may shew fight, in which case the conflict between the army and the people will bo a bloody one, whose result no one can foresee.".

Paris now possesses two picturesque Russian grand dukes. The first Is Boris, who Immediately upon his arrival at Havre gave several amusing Interviews. The gist of these talks was that the American newopapere were Irrepresslbly enterprising and surely constitute the greatest curiosity In the t'nited State. He declares that Ameri can society' Is delightful and American progress is so stupendous tbat It should be considered as an ever-present prob lem for every European nation. About the reporters, Boris aald: "If you talk to him one minute about the weather the next day he prints a whole column about your love affairs. It you . nlmply shake hands, remaining perfectly dumb meanwhile, he will print two columns. If you refuse to see him at all you expect a full page of mixed dialogue and life sketches. 81nce ordinary cham pagne drinking was not picturesque enough for them, they represented me gulping It from a dainty chorus girl's slipper." All of this Boris calls amusing. The second grand duke la Paul Alex ndrovltcb, who Is now Installed at the Hotel Rtts with Mme. Pistolkors, ths companion of his fourth elopement. Boris today visited Paul and a lively acene ensued. What they aald to each other Is not known. CHOATE TALKS ' TO CUTLERS follows the Custom Established by Former Ambaaaadara tn Great Britain.

(New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Charles Terkes has been talking very freely since his return to London concerning the rulnoue competition of the J. Plerpont Morgan combination in the underground railway field. Mr. Yerkes said today: "The Dis trict railway will be electrified completely eighteen months from now. An enormous amount of money Is being spent upon it, and what we say la that we should be given a fair chance to show what he can do. If Parliament gives permission to your rivals to run another line along side the District railway and practically ruin it, as such a line must Inevitably do, I do not think It would be fair." "8uppote," Mr. Yerkes was asked, "these schemes bad started before you took an Interest In the District railway?" "I do not hesitate to say that in that rasa wo should not have touched the Dis trict railway until the question was set tled. Now, however, that we are In It, we are bound to see it through. We could not sell our stock even If we tried." Mr. Yerkes did not tblnk tbe Morgan line would confer any advantage upon the public which would not be conferred by the elec trified District railway, and he certainly did not think there was any necessity for both lines. "We have now to fight for our existence," he said. HE HAS TEN THOUSAND FLEAS Charles Rothschild Gathers Them from All Quarter of the Globe for Hla Collection.

The Roth schilds are all noted as collectors of strange things, but Lord Rothschild's second son, Charles, prides himself on having the larg est collection of fleas that was ever brought together. This strange hobby has been brought Into notice by the fact that some Polar explorers have just brought him a number of fleas tbat live on animals within Artie circles. "Every animal and bird has a particular kind of a flea," he says, enthusiastically, "and very many of them have several dif ferent kinds. So, you aee, the flea affords more diverse material for a collector than any living creature. I have fleas from every corner of the world over 10.000 dif ferent varietlea. Whenever an expedition Is about to start for a foreign land I engage one of the party to collect specimens of fleas from every species of mammal and bird that is encountered. The variety Is endless and It affords me as great delight to find a new flea as any of my relatives derive from aecurlng a great masterpiece of art." Charles Rothschild is 25 years of age, and his elder brother, Walter, la a noted naturalist. Both have their collec tions at Trine: Park, Lord Rothschild's country place.

From the pleasures of glided youth to a cobbler's bench is tho romantic career of Count Ed ward 8tadlos. a member of one of the noblest families of Austria. The some what unusual moral of the tale Is the fact that In the face of a fresh smile from fickle fortune he prefers to remain a cob bler. The affair came about In this way: The young count, having dissipated Ms wealth. was wandering through a forest in Hungary when he came upon a cobbler to whom he confessed his poverty. The man offered him a home and a trade and the count, accepting, was taken to his homo and taught to make and mend shoes. One day a man of law, who had been looking for him a long time, arrived and told him that by tho successive and rapid deaths of all of his male relatives he had become belr of the Immense fortune of the Stadlos and member of the House of Peers of Austria.
