sition to the chairs. This method calls
for subservient cortes that will fur
nish a working majority to one party as
readily as to another.
In June last CanovaS and his aSSO-
ciates resigned their portfolios and a
crisis in the affairs of Spain was
threatened. The liberals refrained from
participating in the proceedings of the
cortes. The Ostensible excuse for this
abstention was slap in the face given
by Minister Tetuan to the liberal sena-
tor Senior COmas, during a debate. The
queen regent solved the trying problem
by declining to accept the resignation Of
Canovas, thus insisting that he return to
power.
His Wife a Power.
Dona Joaquina, the widow of Canovas.
is an imDerious woman and is said to
have been largely instrumental in shap-
ing her husbands political course She
has large interests in Cuba, her father,
the late marquis de la Puente, having been
the chief of Il Spanish-American family
and born on this side of the Atlantic.
Dona Joaquina is a very important per-
sonage in Madrid. where she ruled her
late husband, as well as the members of
his party to such an extent, especially in
ali questions affecting colonial politics,
that she goes by the nickname of ''the
queen of Cuba She simply abominates
the regent. and, having on several occa-
sions attempted publicly to slight her
majesty, has been suppressed by Chris
tina with quiet dignity.
Snubbed by the Queen.
Perhaps the most amusing instance of
this was afforded one day when Dona
,Joaquina attempted to interrupt a CONVEX
satiOn which was in progress between the
Queen and the Italian ambassador All
the other ladies and gentlemen in attend
ance were standing aside while the Queen
and the diplomat were talking. Nothing
daunted, Mrs. CanOvas sailed up to the
Queen and apostrophized her with loud
Sonora" The Queen, without answer
ing, gently raised her hand by way of
indication to Mrs. Canovas that she was
engaged. A few minutes later Dona Joa-
quina made another attempt to interrupt
the conversation, and again was she in
duced to silence by wave of the regents
hand in the presence of the whole court
Thoroughly piqued, Dona Joaquina was
about to retire, when Christina motioned
her to remain at a spot Il few feet off I'M
til the conversation had finished. and
there she kept the proud and arrogant
woman standing for over twenty minutes
until her own talk with the ambassador
was terminated.

SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.
Brief History of the Life and Services of
the Dead Premier.

Canovas del Castillo. Antonio. a Span
ISL statesman, was born in 1880. He
made his debut in 1851, under the pa
trOnage of Messrs Rios. Rosas and
Pacheco, as chief editor of the Patria,
in which he defended Conservative ideas
In 1871 he was named deputy for Ma
laga, and since that year has never
ceased to occupy a seat in the cortes In
1896 he was charge d'affaireS at Rome
and drew up the historical memorandum
on the relations of Spain with the molly
see. which served as Il basis for the CON
cOrdat
He was then named successfully gov

Of the administration from 1853 to 1861
and lastly, in that same year. under sec
rotary of state for the interior In 1864
the Queen called him to the ministry to-
gether with Mon; O'Donnell chose him
in 1860 as minister of finance and the
colonies; and he had the honor of draw
ing up the law for the abolition of the
traffic in black slaves Lastly, a little

which had supported his doctrine had de-
serted the Parliament
His Title to Fame
His greatest title to fame is that of
having been the frst-supported by
Messrs Elduayem, BugallaI and two
otherS-tO hoist the standard of legiti-
mate and constitutional monarchy in the
full constituent assembly of 1865 and in
face of the triumphant revolution His
fidelity and capacity definitely obtained
for him the supreme direction of the AL
fOnsist party, and on the proclamation Of
Alfonso MI, as King in December
1874, Canovas del Castillo became presi-
dent of the council and chief of the new
cabinet, and he continued to hold the
premiership, with the exception of an in

when on the return of Marshal Martinez

to power in the year 1881: however, his
conservative cabinet was oyerthrown

Marshal Martinez CampOs came into Of
fee.
Features of Spanish Politics.
The oscillation Of cabinets and parties
in Spain, without an election for dele
gates to the cortes, is one of the odd
features of Spanish politics. Canovas
del Castillo himself gave the eXplana-
ton. He said that the general theory OF
government in Spain requires an alterna-
ton in parties in power with a good
deal Of regularity. The throne decides

The prisoner. who declared he had killed
the premier ''in the accomplishment of Il
just vengeance" at first gave the name OF
