French legitimate aristocracy, has caused
some stir in Paris.
Emperor Francis JOseph's disayowal
Of the speech in the princes behalf does
not prove that the story is not true and
is looked upon as only intended to be an
apology to the French government by
seeming to rebuke the duchess, who, it is
added, spoke without having consulted
him.
1t is stated in this connection that the
Duke of Orleans will shortly issue a
his alliance with a member of the house
of Hapsburg. In Paris yesterday there
was a sort of royalist demonstration. A
number Of the royalists walked up and
down the boulevards and handed to
passers by royal manifesto and portraits
of the Duke of Orleans. In addition, dur
ing the night royalist placards were post
ed and number of youths brought to
the Ponte Neufa a bust of the republic
with its face painted black, phrygian
cap on its head, smothered in red paint
and with pipe stuck in its mouth. This
bust was hung by the neck around the
scribed: "1S76-1S96-Good King Henry
has his revenge"
Firecrackers were exploded around the
spot colored fires were burned and the
youths started royalist song, whereupon
the police interfered and dispersed them.

The Daily Mail continues its interest
ing letters from a correspondent who is
visiting various American states. 1t de-
votes today's letter to California, in con-
nection with which the correspondent
says:
"When the Compromised, long-delayed
high prices come in sight there will be
new fortunes to make in California and
new palaces to be built on Mob hill. The
people of the Pacific slope are living in
a country that has very manifest ways
and will of its own. They have adapt
ed themselves and their environments to
what seems good to them to do and that
they do. With many of them fancy goes
no farther than wearing black shirts.
With others it takes stronger flights and
scars, cleaning out banks and holding up
trains"

THE ILL-FATED TEXAS.
New York, Nov. 9.-The United States
Battleship Texas, to which number of
accidents have occurred since she was
launched, lies along the Cob dock in the
Brooklyn navy yard, submerged five feet
above her water line. Early today the
main injection valve, on the starboard
side near the midship line and about four
showed in from the force Of the water,
and the engine rooms were flooded with
dirty, black, muddy water. The ship be-
gan to settle, and Captain Glass, who is
in command of the Texas, called to Off
GERS and crew to quarters and did every
thing possible to minimize the ships in
juries. At the time the accident occur
red there was only about two feet Of
water under the ship and she soon rest

low water, but at high water this after
noon there was between five and six feet
of water above the line at the stern and
about eighteen inches at her bow.
Wrecking tugs were Immediately sum-
mOned, and three were soon alongside
pumping the water out of her engine and
her rooms, while a diver was sent down
to ascertain the extent of the damage.
Captain Glass, Lieutenant Kelly and
Engineer Moore, as well as all the other
officers of the ship, could not be induced
to talk about the accident, and all inaui
ries were referred to Commodore Heard,
commander of the navy yard. The CON-
mOdore said:
Il know very little as yet about the
accident. The ship is resting easily on a
muddy bottom, and we have no appre-
hension of any further damage to her.
The principal damage which she will sus
tain will be from the dirty water. which
will temporarily injure the engines and
machinery. We can not estimate the
amount of damage nor the exact cause
of the accident until the diver makes his
report, and possibly not until the ship is
raised. She will come up easily as soon
as the leak is stopped"
Commander White telegraphed the As
ISOLATED Press at 1920 that the battle
ship Texas was afloat at the navy yard
and would be pumped out by midnight
and locked on Tuesday.

churches Of the state have been paying
