August 28.?It became ? known downtown yesterday that three attempts have been made by moneyed interests in the last six months to purchase the New York Tribune from White- E law Reid. The last one was made in the early summer on behalf of a syndicate of capitalists who wanted to acquire the h paper, expend about $500,000 or $750,000 s on its plant and news facilities, and undertake to make it the leading republican q newspaper of the country. They offered Mr. Reld a price in the neighborhood of V $2,000,000, but he would not consider it. b The membership of this syndicate has been kept from the public even to the present time. It is said in well-informed a quarters that it was made up of men ^ whose business Interests had been ad- f versely affected by the policies of Presl- n dent Roosevelt and who wanted to get h a paper which would stand for the type t( of republicanism that President McKin- 0 ley and Mark Hanna represented from t 1806 to 1001. A man who was concerned r in the negotiations, however, yesterday t denied that there was any Intention to { antagonize the President or take issue r with his policies, but that the plan was j, simply to have a great republican newspaper in the city and that the Tribune seemed the most available property. At all events a broker who represented | the syndicate approached Col. John J. J ! McCook to represent them, and Col. Mc: Cook In turn obtained the good offices of : Ogden Mills, who was abroad at the : time, to put the matter up to Mr. Reld. f ! It was just about the time of the wedding g ; of Miss Jean Reid, and the ambassador ; did not have much time to give to the J proposition, but he told Mr. Mills that he *' ] did not propose to sell the Tribune, alt though he already had an offer of $2,000,- ** c 000 cash, but would hand the paper down ? , to his son, Ogden Mills Reld. r Col. McCook would not discuss the mat ter yestertiay. h * P i The tenth annual meeting of the t .

'hat Is, as Par as Classics Are Concerned?Magazines Are Popular. The American consuls, in Mexico have >ined In a symposium of reports to this Ity on the literary tendencies of the [exicans and the market there for books roduced on this side of the international oundary line.

The average pani8h-American taste, he says. In ooks of fiction naturallv turns toward ie emotional class of French novels anslated into Spanish. Of American classic writers of fiction cry little is generally known save peraps Edgar Allen Poe and some con?mporaneous writers, whose works appal to the fantastic and emotional side f the mind. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and prtain of President Itonscvelt's publisli3 works occasionally have grown popuir among Spanish-Americans in transited form. The consul general sounds a ote of warning to American publishers tat few Mexican ladies do any reading, nd that for some years there- will be ttle demand there for the class of terature which finds its best market mong American women. While the panish-Americans respect American atural abilities in commerce and in nglneering and dental surgery, he says, they are still very far from regarding le United States as a possible center ol ulture or art." Special Agent Butman at Mexico City ays native authorship is an essential mature of Mexican textbooks.
