CARGISr IN SPAIN.

The latest shadow which falls across
, the path of Alfonso XIII is Don Carlos.
the pretender to the throne of Spain
Amidsts all the other troubles with
which Spain Is beset there looms up
the shadow of the Carlsts. and there
is no telling how soon it will cristaliZe
into substance hard to remove. The
history OF Spain for many years back
is filled with the attempts of these peo-
pie to gain control of the nation, and
now that they have again appeared it
should not be surprising if, in the end.
they succeed. Since the close of the
five years war precipitated upon the
country i'm 1898 by the grandfather of
the present pretender. there have been
OF intervals Carlists movements. and al
I'm the third line, his claim seems to
have lost nothing of it's force. for in all
most every quarter of the nation there
are Carlists and that, too, apparently, in
large numbers.
Although an exile for twenty years
Don Carlos has directed the movements
of his adherents in Spain. Nothing of
value to his cause seems to have been
overlooked, and it is worthy of note that
they have let no opportunity pass since
the Cuban outbreak to improve their
cause. 1t will be recalled that the Car
list newspapers have more than once at
tackled the Government for it's policy in
the Cuba war. Whether right or wrong
they have seized upon and magnified
every mistake. The Carists agents
have encouraged the growing discomfort
over the conscrptions, and in many
cases they have given relief, secretly
in the name of Carlos. to the starving
pesantry. The wholesale conscriptions
ruined crops and starving condition of
the pesantry have gone very far towards
spreading general discomfort through
out Spain, and the people have begun
to say If Carlos was at the head of af-
fairs these conditions would not exist
The fact is Don Carlos has his finger on
the pulse of Spain, and whether Cuba
is subjugated or not, the Carlist move
ment will have to be met.
The pretender has already said that
ST Spain will put him at the head Of
the nation he will bring Cuba TO terms
in short while, and will then whip the
United States for it's Interference in
Spanish affairs" OF course such talk
as this catches popular favor, and should

The election is over and it Is about

never have been INDUCED In from the

in London does not compare with our

there are not nearly so enterprising In
the display of their goods as the Ameri-
cans.
The Paris show, which he also ats
tended, was a much better one than
that held in England. One of the most
noticeable things in connection with the
Paris show was the large number of
horseless carriages that We're exhibited.
In France they are of the opinion that
the horseless carriage has come to stay.

Mr.. Spalding was much surprised at
the interest taken in cycling in Italy.
The roads, of course. in the three cOun-

which will account for cycling having
such a strong hold there; In fact, dur

for cycling. Italy and the Italians have
