either upon the question of prece-
dence or of obtaining the money
for its purchase.
The house experienced two
startling novelties this week in the
debate upon the river and harbor
appropriation bill Mr.. Hewitt
furnished one sensation by urging
an amendment reducing a New
York appropriation from 100000
to 100000, but Mr.. Ochiltree saw
the New York member and raised
his sensation by moving that the
entire appropriation of s250,000
for the improvement Of Galveston
harbor be stricken out on the
ground that the work was useless.
The house was probably SO over
come by these unheard of motions
that it almost unanimously agreed
TO adjourn June 30th. But the
inclination to adjourn will meet
with opposition in the Senate and
the chances are that the session
will be prolonged until August.

ROYALTY IN SPAIN.
Interesting Sketch From German News-
1nDer.

Interesting Sketch From q German News-
paper.
Herr Schmidt Weissenfels contributes an
interesting sketch of the royal family in
Spain to recent number of the Berlin
GeGen,cart. ''Ex-Queen Isabella,' he says,
sat the age of ffty-four seems to enjoy life
thoroughly. She looks as fresh and bloom
ing as a woman Of forty. 1t is true she has
truly royal massiveness of body, and judg-
ing from her ample, wadded shoes and eau
tious gait she is slightly troubled by govt;
perhaps paint and powder are responsible
for her floral complexion, as they are for the
pale faces and black eyebrows of so many
Spanish senoras. But the arts of toilet are
not unbecoming lady who wants to remain
both queen and woman, and neither her
govt nor her corpuleney prevents herfrom
taking part ia the Quadrille at the court
balls
The old queen cuts again quite figure at
the court; she enjoys all the honors due her
as the mother of the king. gives herself up to
amusement, and both from choice and ne
cessity keeps aloof from political affairs. She
has no love of intrigue and no serious anger
threatens her sons government from that
turns are possible in Spain, and it is said
that King Alphonso breads not so much Don
Carlos and the Republicans as his own ami
able mamma, who has many old a1herents
throughout the country. < = The royal
treasury suffered badly in the revolution of
1868. The generous sum paid to Queen Isa-
bella by the republic on the REIMBURSEMENT
OF her claims has evaporated during her So
Journ in Paris. King Alfonso had consider
able difficulty in raising the sum which he
was required to settle on his present wife,
the Austrian archduchess. The civil list
appropriates to the king 1000, 600 francs,
to the queen 100000, to ex-Queen Isabella
$50, 600, to her divorced husband 800, 900,
to the two princesses $50, 600, and
$50, 900 francs, together including the sums
required by the royal household and escort,
nearly 100000. The king has felt in
honor bound to assume large Expenditures,
among others the restoration of the Escurial,
struck by lightning for the seventh or
eighth time. He does not dare to ask for
extraordinary grants from the national ex-
chequer for in the opinion of many enemies
of the monarchy he costs the country al
ready too much money. On the occasion of
the visit of the German crown prince ii was
made known in advance that the cost of all
the festivities would be borne by the king
himself, in order to prevent any dissatisfac-
ton on the part of the people. On the
kings second marriage a large business
house was asked to furnish the wardrobe
with the understanding that payment was to
be made in instalments. The firm declined
the honor. This is characteristic of the
credit enjoyed by the king and the dignity
and security attaching to his income. 1t is
nowadays not nearly as pleasant as formerly
to be king, and least of all so in Spain.'

She tCHs so Sorry.


He was sitting next to a charming young
lady at dinner when he choked oDthe soup.
''Must have swallowed a fy,'' he said,
alphabetically.
''Poor thing" murmured the young lady,
sweety, ''I'm so sorry!'
Your sympathy is very precious he re-
marked, gratefully. Pm so glad you are
sorryr'
"Oh, yes, Pm sorry for the fly she retorted.
The number OF persons reported as having
been killed in the working of English rail-
ways during 1888 was 1, 167, and the number
OF injured 4, 1877. Of this number, 554 killed
and 2, 400 injured were employees of the com
panies, and ass killed and 81 injured were
,trespassers, suicides and others who met
with accidents at crossings or from miscel-
laneous causes. The remainder of the total,
l25 killed and ,416 injured, were passengers,
but of these only II were killed and 662 were
wounded in consequence of collisions be-
tween trains, the deaths of the remaining ia
passengers and injuries to 754 are stated as
being due to variety of causes, but especi-
ally to a want of caution on the part of the
individuals themselves. The total number
OF passengers carried was 6S3, us, 1877 for the
year OF 1885, or %, S19, S42 more than in the
previous year. Calculated on these figures,
The portions OF passengers killed and injured
during the year from all causes were one in
5, 40, 600 killed, and one in 1872, 851 injured.
In 1882 the proportions were one in ), 1885,
207 killed, and one in SIT, 1876 wounded.
Inc proportions of passengers returned as
killed and injured in 1882 from causes be-
yond their own control were one in 81, 1885,
1874 killed, and one in 1,032, 500 injured.

One of the most remarkable sights in the
Interior of Siam is the famous sselephant-cor
raj which is surrounded by very strong
and high stockade, having only one strong
outlet-stands in wide belt of swamny
meadow land, about six miles above Avuthia.
the ancient metropolis of the kingdom. and
rather more than seventy from Bankok, the
present capital. Every year at certain
time, bands Of native hunters are dispatched
to the likeliest spots to gather the elephants
which are there considered to be the especial
property of the king himself, and valued ac
cordingly. AS soon as a sufficient number
of them are gathered together, they are,
driven into the corral, the entrance of which,
is carefully closed behind them The beasts
are then inspected by Siamese expert. who
picks out all he considers worth keening
These arc forthwith led away, and placed bv
themselves in a stable built for the purpose
to await their transmission to the capital
while the others are let go again. The in
spection, however, has to be made through
the window of well-protected log hut raised
considerable height above the ground. the
