LONDON, June 4.—(Special Dispatch to The Bee)—When Parliament meets next week we will be able to size up the polit- feal situation as It has been left by the death of King Edward and the accession of King George. At present to all except those on the in- side the situation appears pretty mixed. There is & good deal of talk of & compro- mise, but this comes mostly from the oppo- sition and 1 am inclined 1o believe it means nothing practical. I have yet to talk with o liberal of influence who believes there will be the slightest drawing back so far | as the veto question is concerned. . The line of cleavage is so clearly drawn that o the liberal mind there is sround for compromise. The only real question: seems o be a5 to how much time the government. will allow for things to settle down before forcing the issue. King George situation. One of the features of the recent debates in the House of Commons ‘was the regu- | larity with which ‘the new king attended, and the close attention with which he fol- lowed"the various' speeehes; - Before he left Biarritz the late' king requested -his son to furnish him regulurly with: his. impressions of the course and spirit of.

Agrapgements have not yet been made as tq syhat will be done in the circumstances, but, the probabllity is that hig majesty will select some member of thé royal family, ppssibly the duke of Con- naught or Prince Arthur, to perform the ceremony In his stead. There is some talk of ‘having the young duke of Cornwall make the trip as one of the party. no possible thoroughly posted on the Shipping vut to Canada.~ Something like consternation has been caused among those philanthroplsts who thought they found the solution for the *Y'flbh:m of the unemployed by shipping all liose out of work to Canada. Already arrangements had been made to send thousands, but now comes the Can- adian government-with a notice that the bars are up and that emigrants financially sisted out of publie or charitable funds will only be ailowed to land in Canada If he is “suited for, willing to accept, and for whom a position at farm work has been guaranteed trom Canada.” 2 The government of that dominion wants farm workers, not men to swell the ranks of the unemployed in the blg towns. This order especially strikes at such organiza- tions us the London Central Unemployed Body, which has been arranging to send out g0 baiches of men who cannot find work h“bflndon, and who presumably would be unsuited for farm labor. Strong represen- tations have been made without effect to \he Canadian government, and a batch of 1 selected emigrants from London for Ywhom passages had already been arranged, are unable to sail. Another line of emigration to Canada, which has come in for criticism and may receive & check Is the sending of poor chil- dren to the dominion to be bound out to service. It 1s alleged that some of these children have not recelved proper treat- ment In their new homes and steps Are being taken to insure the exercise of more care in the sending of children abroad and \ooking ‘after those who are sent. It is often stated that Dr. Hans Richte who recently dled here, was on playing ac quaintance With every Instrument in the orchesira. A though this is probably an exaggeration, Dr. Richter cerwinly did know how every lnstrument ought (o be wlayed. Excellent Planist.

PETERSBURG, June m—(Specm: Dispatch to The Bee)—Russia is watching | with keen interest the unrest in China and those best informed as to eastern affairs are inclined to take a serious view of the situation in the far east. Time wa¥ when Russia regarded the Asiatics with con- tempt, but that was before the war with Japan. The disposition now is to go rather to the other extreme and to take a serious view of affairs. For the present, at least futention of further territorial extension in the far east. It will content itself with holding and developing its present posses- sions, In some quarters the belief pre- valls that this will be difficult within the | next decade, if the present awakening and | modernizing of China continues. It is this idea which makes Russia willing to come to an understanding with Japau, even at too Russia has no loath to make. b Remarkable Development. A high officer who has seen much service in the east and who knovws China as well as a European may, said to me the other day, “The development of China in a mili- tary way in the last five years has been | really most remarkable. The Chinese have wonderful potentialities as soldiers and when they have developed the proper offi- cers and have recelved the proper training | they will make formidable opponents for | any army. This Is belng done with sur-| prising rapidity.” I mentioned in a recent letter that the Grand Duchess Elizabeth had taken orders as a nun. Twenty ladles of the highest station have joined with her and have es- tablished & convent known as the Convent of Martha and Mary in Mascow. The vows were made in the presence of the Metro- politan Viadimir and her imperial highness recelved at the hands of his most high holi- ness & cross in token of her office as sister superior. Her sister, Princess Henry of Prussia, was present at the ceremony and was blessed with an icon of St. Nicholas and St Alexandra speclally sent for this purpose by her younger sister, the czarina, and by the czar. She and the other ladies who took the same vow, wore white habits With white vells. The grand duchess and the assistant sis- ter superior have taken the vows of pov- ekty, chastity and obedisnce for life, the others have only been permitted to take them for one year. 1f at the end of the year they desire to continue in the com- | munity they can fenew their vows for three years, for six and fiaily for life. For Disabled Soldlers. The sisters have a honie for soldiers dis- abled . in, the war, a hospital for poor women, a home for Women Suffering from consumption, a dispensary at which medi- clne may be obtained free of charge, @ home for eighteen girls and a free library. The Russian grain crop bids falr to be a record breaker this year and this may have a marked effect on the high prices of | breadstuffs the world over. Not only is the wheat orop greater than ever before, but the same 18 true of rye, which is the staple breadstuff for the great mass of Russians, and this makes a greater proportion of wheat available for export. Then owing to the fallure of certain banking Institu- tions the money lenders who have advanced money on wheat are now forcing their bor- rowers to sell thelr wheat almost regard- less of price. Hence, the pressure of Rus- slan offerings on the European markets has been tremendous, and they have sold for future delivery at prices that make competition impossible. ANTI-ENGLISH IDEA IS STRONG IN AUSTRIA Grand Duke is Still Highly Fu Over His Treatment on Recent Visit to Londo BY'EMIL ANDRASSY. VIENNA, June 4.—(Special Dispatch tof The Bee.)—The anti-English feeling in Aus- | tria s stronger today than it has been in | years. The charge that Austria really was building her dreadnaughts for Ger- many which was made by some of the English papers caused much indigna- tion here. This has been increased by the | fact that the Grand Duke Francis Ferdi-| nand, heir apparent to the Austria-Hungar- | fan throne and representative of the em- | pire at the funeral of King Bdward, had | been given place below that assigned to the czar of Bulgaria, practically a seM- declared king, and held here In some quar- ters to be legally a vassal to the ‘sultan of Turkey. ‘Phe grand duke, T am told, is still furious | over his treatment in London, and his in- | dignation is generally shared. | It may safely be said that so far as the | influence of the heir to the throne can be | exerted with the government of A\uuln-} Hungary, it will be opposed to Great Bii- tain, whenever a question iu Buropean politics arises, for the grand duké s a vindictive man who will remember the sight he feels has been put upon him.

For some time past Berlin s been rather concerned ovi the extravagant manner in which the kaiser conducts him- self, while it is asserted that formal re- monstrances have been addressed to him by several influential members of the Hohenzollern family. Matters, however, are likely to reach a crisfs over his latest proposal to spend a sum of something like 45,000,000 upon the erection of a new opera house in Berlin. The existing opera house is one of the finest buildings of its kind in Europe, and it would scarcely seem as though another were required. What is belng asked, however, is where the em- peror proposes to raise the necessary money, since he has made very consider- able inroads upon the vast wealth of his house since first he came to the throne. Launching of Battleship. It 18 expected that the battleship Ersatz Frithjof, which will be the elghth German dreadnought battleship, will be launched from the Shichau at z1g on June 18 by Prince Eitel Frederick of Prussia. This is @ battleship of the 1909 financial pro- gram, the construction of which was be- gun before the end of the previous year. The ofticlal date of completion is April, 1612, that is just over twenty-one months after the launching. The last German dreadnought battleship completed, the Posen, went to sea less than twelve months after it was launched Prof. Reinhart Thilo of Berlin, writing in the North German Gazette, gives it as his opinlon that female beauty is fading an over the modern world. For this fact, it indeed it be a fact, he assigns three causes. The first of these, says Prof. Thilo, is excessive indulgence in outdoor sports. He thinks it well that the size of woman's hands and feet is increasing by athletic sports, for their “worship of smal} hands and meet is pure fetishism.” Bue he says, almost regretfully, that too much exercise spolls the feminine curves and produces lumpy, —muscular excrescences where smooth roundness. to be im and to be | out- is her craze for a slender figure, called “robe collante" says Thilo, simply The so- (the dress glued on), falsities the natural The craze for slenderness is working harm, particularly In the United States and Sweden. | Thirdly and last, according to this| | authority, the change in the female mind, in wonfen's way of thinking, is affecting her outward appearance. For example, in- stead of desiring sincere love, modern women encourage flirtation. That mother- liness which appears clearly in the best mediaeval statuary and paintings, even of is disappearing from the fea- | tures of modern women.

The monarch of our times has to be a man of varied capacity, more varied, in- deed, than any of his subjects, and for tnis the most careful and painstaking preparation is required from the earliest years. In days gone by a king was usually a person whom fate had made the most privileged of mortals, and who usually en- Joyed his fortunlate lot by making merry, with perhaps an occasional interlude when he was conducting a military expedition, Love and war have been the chief activi- tles of most kings of past centuries. Today it is a different world, with progress as watchword and efficiency the eternal aim. A king is the chief executive officer of a nation, and & modern state is an exceed- ingly complicated organization, over which only a thoroughly trained monarch can hope to preside with success. One of .the earllest rulers to realize in modern ‘times what was required of him was Peter the Great of Russia. He early became aware of the tremendaus responsi- bility of his position, and with' ex- traordinary energy and determination "he set about making Russia a great nation Among contemporary monarchs probably There will, no doubt, be no one has had 2 more severe training In | youth than King Victor Emmanuel of Italy. As a boy he was placed under Colonel Osio, a stern disciplinarian, who was his constant companion. Osio, whom Victor Emmanuel afterwards made a count, ruled him with a rod of iron. The young prince was entirely out of the care of his royal parents, and when he tried to get a holiday, Osio invariably ridiculed the idea of leaving his studies to indulge in frivol- ous amusements. The aim of the prince's education was that he should know some- thing about everything and everything about something, and the result is that the king of Italy is both a scholar and a statesman of the first order. = He is no mean sclentist, and those who know him intimately declare he is the most cultured soverelgn in the world. At the same time he is the most athletic of European mon- archs. Since becoming king he has done | much to restore Italy's prosperity. The rullng house of Prussia, the Hohen- | zollerns, iepresent a very rigorous tradi- tion in the making of monarchs, The Kaiser's 1ot as a boy was one of the most | exacting military discipline and continuous study. At 10 years of age a crown prince of the Hehenzollerns ceases to belong to the nursery and comes under military con- trol. The kaiser is, of course, as excep- tional man, and his many accomplishments dnd range of activity would need a volume | at least. Learns a Handicraft. The kalser's son and heir, the crown prince, has been just.as severely brought up as his father was. Like every Hohen- zollern prince, he has had to learn a handicraft and so became a carpenter. He has also studied engineering thoroughly, and has done practical work at leading en- gineering works. Even if the heir to a throne belongs to| the fair sex, discipline is the keynote. Queen Wilhelmina of Holland was most | carefully trained in the art of cooking, so that she is now an excellent judgé of a | | dinner aud a keen critic of a menu, fits « monarch who has to exercise her diplomatic powers when entertaining the representatives of other powers. The course of study Wilhelmina had to follow would make most young people shudder, for she had to turn her girl's mind to political science, International and con- stitutional law, the art and sclence of public administration history, and the legal and moral relations of the sovereign to the people. Her life was absolutely sim- ple and healthy. Pecullar lezal privileges attach position of the queen consort. The wife of the relgning king of England in some respects is not in the same legal posi- tion as other married women. In the days ! ot the old law, when a married woman was almost entirely subservient to her hus- band, the privileges of the queen consort were many and important. “And first," says Sir Willlam Blackstone, “she s & pub- lic person exempt and distinct from the king, and not, like other married women, 80 closely connected as to have lost all legal or separate existence, so long as the marriage continues. For the queen Is of ability to purchase lands, and to convey them, t0 make leases, to grant copyheads, and to do other acts of ownership, without the concurrence of her lord, which no other married woman can do." to the 10 TRADESMEN | to | al | as whicn , as be- | \ POPULAR RULER t!eople of France Deeply Regret Proposed Retirement of | President. | M.

There are many points in com- | mon between the two men. Both are se- verely simple in their tastes, have great | common sense and tact. M. Briand can spend whole days, rod in | hand, solitary and silent, by stream’s side | or 0n his garden bank on the Lake of Eng- The streams that most attract him are in west Brittany. He brings his ang- ling vocabulary into political life. A maxim he often uses in trying to keep down the impatience of colleagues for strong-fisted action is: “Before one tries to land a big fish with a weak rod, one must drown it." Another, but not taken from the same vo- cabulary, Is: “If you give all possible free- dom to unruly tongues, they will soon tire out. You may then take them to your breast, for they wil be quiet as lambs and ashamed of themselves. A further source of influence is in his modeFation in using the gifts of fortune. He has no paternal fortune. To remain an honest man he must be economical. Min- ister of public instruction and then of jus- tice, he used to take his meals at a oheap orix fixe restaurant. He only went to a dearer place on becoming prime minister, and then to a not very expensive one. The change was due to his wanting to have & quiet corner to himself. Holde Aerial Supremacy. | France means to maintain her supremacy in aerial work even in the matter of purses. M. Michelin has offered a prize of $100,000 to the aviator who can travel from Parls to central France, landing on the top of the Puy-de-Dome, the winning post. This mountain, which is an extinct volcano, is 4500 feet high and 200 miles from Paris as the crow flfes. Acting upon the suggestion of two mem- bers of a sclentific soclety, Captain Guyon and M. de la Grye, the. Freach govern- ment is now experimenting with a scheme for supplying all chronometers at sea with the time at noon, & o'clock at night, and at midnight by means of wireless messages from the Eiffel tower. The first trial took place with ships at Brest. Three sparks |are transmitted at Intervals of two min- utes each. Thus, for instance, one is given at § o'clock precisely, a recond at 8 hours 2 minutes, and a third at § hours 4 min- utes. The same method Is to be followed at noon and at midnight. Captains at sea, therefore, provided with wireless recelvers, will be able to regulate their chronometers whenever they require. A clock, further- more, specially prepared for this purpose, is to be set going on the Riffel tower to transmit the time, second by second, by wireless flashes, so that the longitude may |be computed aimost instantaneously any- where at sea on ships provided with wire-| less apparatus. | The advantages of this procedure in cloudy or foggy weather will be enormous, especially in places where there are irreg-| ular currents, and ships in that case will at once be warned If they are drifting out | of thelr course. The new “wireless” will | 2180 be used hereatter o determine the lon- | gitude of various places on the continent, |and of wireless stations in Afr The Pittel tower, in fact, is already in regular communication with Dakar, Fort Etienne {and Rufisque on the Atlantic coast of| | nortawest Africa as well as with (he | Canary islands and with ‘Bizerta and Oran |on the Mediterranean coast.

There seems to be no particular organic trouble, but his majesty seems to be slowly falling and change of air and medical treatment apparently has no good effect. It is rather strange that neither the Kking nor the queen of Sweden have enjoyed really good health for several years past, and this has meant that mor: state duties have been thrown upon the crown prince and prin- cess than would otherwise have been the case.

The presence of the British Atlantic fleet |in the North sea has given rise to a good cal of talk, not only here and in the other andinavian capitals, but in Berlin as well. It is the general bellef that there fs really a definite tactical purpose unders Iying what, on the face of it, looks rather like a hollday cruise. Now that the North sea is admittedly Great Britain’s prinelpal naval zone, it is of manifest Importanca that its officers should be acquainted with the coast line which set its boundaries. Some very interesting figures. have ves cently been printed which show why Den- mark has come to be known as the “model farm" of Europe. “The soil of Denmark is naturally arid, as compared with the rich meadow lands of more favored coun- tries. Moreover, the climate is inconstant, and the winters are by no means short.
