PRINCE GEORGE AND THE SUCCESSION.

PRINCE GEORGE AND THE SUCCESSION.
The interest in the matrimonial in
tentions of Prince George is growing in
England. The story that the Prince of
Wales had sunk into bad state of health
was not true. but it is true that the
mere rumor, though promptly disposed
of by authoritative contradiction, lived
long enough to revive uneasiness about
the succession to the throne. This un-
essiness starts from the fact that there
are very few lives between the sover-
eighty of the British realms and the
Duke of Flies daughter-fewer than
there were between the throne and Its
present occupant when her majesty
was child, and the fear 10 that, espe-
cially il there are turbulent times TO
come, the accession of Fife princess
might estrange the people, weaken the
foundation of government in Britain
and make an appreciable difference in
the relations of the colonies to the
mother country. How much there
may be in such fears cannot be deter
mined, OF course, but, reasonable or
unreasonable, they were common
enough to make themselves heard just
before the betrothal Of the late Prince
Albert Victor was announced, when
thew were nut to rest.
