RISN1RCK AND UATCH-MdRING


Prince Bismarck has dcfed royal petticoat
government in Berlin. He opposes the pro-
iected marriage of Prince Alexander with the
Empcrors second daughter on high grounds of
State policy. Princess Victoria, who is now in
her twenty third year, has been supposed to be
reserved for the hereditary Prince of Anhalt.
She has been guilty of what rigid disciplinan-
ans like Prince Bismarck regard as an unpar-
donable indiscretion in preferring the brave,
noble but unfortunate Prince Alexander. Her
mother, the Empress is sufficiently sentimental
TO believe that the most satisfactory royal mar
rage is a love match. She is reported to be in
sympathy with her daughters romantic attach
ment and, moreover, to be supported by Queen
Victoria who not only made love match her
self when she married the Prince Consort, but
who also has very high regard for the Bat
tenberg house.
The head of this family is a field marshal In
the Austrian service. who married the Princess
of Battenberg. He is the uncle OF the reign
ing Grand Duke of Hesse, who married Pm
cess Alice, one of Queen Victona's daughters.
His oldest son married Princess Victoria OF
Hesse, the Queens granddaughter. His third
son, Prince Henry, is the husband of the
Queens youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice.
The Queen, evidently impressed with the fact
that there cannot be too many Battenbergs in
the family is now reported to be willing to go
to the German court and plead in person tho
cause of Prince Alexander as sutton for the

Czarina, who is the most charming ana All

had a scheme for making her brother, frlnce
Waldemar of Denmark ruler of Bulgaria. In
this intrigue she was supported by her mother

ander's reign in Bulgaria the Czarina's voice
was never heard as promptcr, but she is SAID 10
have meddled persistently in the negotiations
and to have been largely responsible Tor
Russia's hostility to him. She was bent upon
expeling him from the throne in order to make
room for her favorte brother. When Prince
Alexander retired from Bulgaria to enjoy IN
private life, as Prince Bismarck had facetious-
ly predicted, the interesting souvenirs and rem
iniscences of having once reigned and played
a great part in European affairs, Prince Waldo
mar became a prominent candidate for the

Az INTERESTING INCIDENT

The Office boy Of The Evening POST yester-
day took in to the editor of that paper the card
of an enterprisng and experienced book canvasSer.

see il you would have the goodness to give me
one of your photographs. I'd like a good one,

piled the editor in rather brusque tones You
are a stranger to Neon what ground do you prefer
such requestT
Il beg you to believe l intended no offence
explained the canvaSscr " The fact is | am the
agent for the Middle States of an important work
which Is now passing through the press, and 1t
occurred to me, after reading your comments on
the Rhode Island election, that it would be a
brilliant stroke of business TO secure your picture
for its frontispiece.'
"Ah-yes, er-may l inquire what Is the title
of the work in question:

canvasser in tones of surprise.

" that you began your comments upon the Rhode
Island election with the assertion that the result
of the Rhode Island election is in every way en-
couraging.'"
Well?
"Well. of course, the canvasser concluded,

Sanator Aldrich Is not unnaturally elated
over the splendid results of the Rhode Island
election. In a talk with him, printed this morn
ing, he points out the effect OF the new Con
stitutional amendment, which received the
requisite number of votes on wednesday. Ihis
amendment places foreign-born naturalized
citizens on the same plane with native-bom as
TO suffrage. Mr.. Aldrich says the Democratic
hopes based on the enlargement OF the sunfage
are illusory. There are $4,000 unnaturallzed
foreigners in the State, of whom, when they
become citizens, the Republicans are quite as
likely az the Democrats to get the greater num-
Der, Rhode Island is evidently pretty sure to
remain loyal to its we'll established traditions.
The talks with Senators Coggeshall, Russell
and Laughlin, given in our Albany dispatches
show that there is some reason to fear that at
tempts will be made to amend the Crosby High
License bill when it comes up for passage IN
the Senate This is to be deplored. The bill
as il now stands is satisfactory to the pro-
motors of the High-Liconse movement, al
though not in the form in which they hoped to
see it nut on the statute book. Any further
changes would expose the bill to needless dan
ger. There arc only five weeks more of the
session, and the majority in favor Of this meas
ure in the Assembly was so narrow that TO
force it to run the gauntlet again would be to
make it's enactment matter of doubt. There
should be no changing, amending or revising
at this stage. The votes of seventeen Senators
are needed to pass the bill, and out OF the
twenty-one Republicans the required seven
teen ought to be forthcoming. They will be
