AN UNFORTUNATE QUEEN.

Marie Sophie and Her Unhappy Marriage
and Exile.
Pal Nall Bad9d.
Apropos OF tho death OF the king OF
Naples some little Biographies OF one Of
the most unfortunate queens in history
are published by the less Republican Of
the Paris papers; but they all omit the
sliGhttouches Of comedy which do but
enhance that drama OF misfortune.
Marie Sophie was but twenty when she
married the heir OF the small bu,
warming kingdom OF South Italy; a
lew months later she was on the throne.
She had hardly had time TO wear half
her bridal dresses. so that she might DO
photographed in them, when Garibaldi
was atthe gates. The young queen had
the passion OF possession, which is
usually with women-or with some
women. She was ready-made heroine
for Robett Louis Stevenson.
She proposed to fight for her rights.
It's said that she took pot-shots at tina
cats in the neighborhood OF the royal
dwelling. anyhow, she made her deli
cate husband hold on longer than he
might have done. She dressed for the
part OF tho heroine OF Gaeta" in high
boots, long ridlug.habit, three.cor-
nered hat. worn somewhat on one side.
and buttons. The queen OF Naples and
her sister. the empress OF Aussria, as
the present writer eemembers them,
were, in truth, new women born out OF
due time. They both had advanced
ideas OF dress, which went most
strangely with the fashions OF the six.
ties.
The queen OF Naples found time to
be photographed during the siege Of
Gae,a. All her portraitA OF that day
nro very curious. Her crIHoline was de.
signed on scale to display decorations
that looked like fireworks ia full swing.
She was very like her sister, and,
though less stately, quite as beautiful.
And now BY her husbands death,
Marie Sophie leaves that iIlu,ion oil n
crown, n throne. n sccptro, which gave
her exile strange interest Sho has

wing OF tho pope, and there was born
and died her only hope, 4 littleNson

Tho puff trade is highly profitable, as

from 10 cents upward, nicely mounted

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

Annual Report OF the Chief of the Bureau
of NavigatIon-Our ShIpmasters Handi-
capped BV Navigation Laws that Are
Relies of ByGOne Days.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-The annual
report of Mr.. Eugene f. Chamberlain,
chief of the bureau of navigation,
shows that the numbers and tonnage
of our merchant fleet for the year has
been nearly stationary. On June 80 it
comprised 23, 240 documented vessels of
4,G35,g $50 tons, Il decrease of so, 600 tons
since June 30, 1891. This decrease is
attributed to business inactivity two
summers ago, the production Of our
ship-yards in April, May and June. this
year, much exceeding the production
during the same months in 1894. The
chief events have been the initial trips
of the st. Louis and st. Paul.
The report is devoted chiefly to rec
concentrations for the repeal of many
of our navigation laws of the last
century, which were copied verbatim
by the earliest congresses from laws
of King George III. of England. Com
missioner Chamberlain points out that
every other nation long ago repealed
these laws. but we alone retain them as
a handicap on our merchant marine.
He shows hat our merchant marine is
in the keenest competition. first with
merchantmen of foreign'nations, whose
governments have freed them from the
shackles of old laws, which we still re-
tain; second, with American railroads,
which are strongly organized, and
have protected themselves generally
from burdensome laws under which
navigation interests are compelled to
operate.
The free ship bill, which was the
chief measure advocated in the last
report, is again recommended, but more
briefly. Mainly from the fact that
Americans can not buy ships where they
please and sail them under the Amer
can flag is due the fact that the
United States and Italy, alone among
maritime nations, have 4 smaller car
rying capacity on the ocean than they
had twenty years ago when President
Grant urged congress to pass the free
bill. The significant fact is adduced,
going and coming, the voyage between
the United States and Europe was
made only 252 times by vessels under
the American flag, and 10, 233 times by
vessels under foreign flags.
Comparing the fine demonstration of
u naval power at Kiel, with the fact
that only five American merchant YES
sells, with crews all told of barely $50
men, visited Germany during the en-
tire year, Commissioner Chamberlain
quotes effectively Capt. L~anahan's
statement that a navy can not long
exist without a large merchant marine
as a reason for its maintenance. and
that while, like the navy of Louis
NIV.tit may be fair to look upon, it
will prove a growth which, having no
root, 500 withers away.
