Amid the tuneful overtures to the diamond
jubilee Of Queen Victoria's reign there rings
out one loud, discordnnt note. II is the Bit
ter protest made by the White Rose League
tho British Legitlmist p~arty-against the
Queens sovereign rights.
Within q few DAYS there will appear in Lon
don tho "Legitimist Kalendar" for 1907, ad-
vance sheets of which are now before the
writer. This daring work Is an omen defiance
of British monarchy, az by law established; n
bold effort to show that Princess Mary, wife Of
Prince Lud SiR of Bavaria, should rule over
Great Britain and ireland, In the room OF
Queen Victoria, and a clenr.cut assertion that
nalf the peeraRe Of England, Ireland, and Scot

boasts. But the "Kalendar" goes even fur
Their. Not satisfied with houting England. II
filings down the gauntlet to scores of other ma

refuses to acknowledge tho independence Of
Brazil. Of Lombardy, or Of Hawaii: and in
dozens of places inserts, as rlghtful rulers, the
names OF nersons far other than those now oc-
cupyinE the thrones. In fact, the United States
