soNs OF birds more fashionable than
ever before with ladies' who have
country places. The Princess has al
ways been devoted to her birds: but
her dogs attract so much attention
from the outside world that her feath-
cred pets have attained less celebrity.
Still anyone who has seen her aviary.
at Sandringham, is not likely to for
get it The division set apart for white
creatures is, perhaps, the prettiest.
The white doves-about thirty in all
have a lovely dwelling place, so ar
ranged that glowing bank of scarlet
geraniums sets off their snowy plum
age.
At Wo,ferton Station, near Sand
bingham. there is railway bridge,
situated in rather pretty spot. One
day the Princess, who is an enthusiast
tic photographer, took a snapshot of
this bridge. When she had developed
the negative she noticed curve in the
bridge, for which defect she blamed
her own manipulation of the camera,
resolving to take another picture. lhis
she did at the time when an express
was passing. Again the curve ap-
peared; SO she asked the Prince about
the matter. "Why, my dear. there must
be something wrong!" said he; ''this
shall be Investigated" Strange to say,
the little accidental occurrence was
it would seem-the means of prevent
ing a great calamity; for when in
quiries were made and experts con-
suited it was discovered that the
bridge was in dangerous state, and
that a new one must forthwith be
butt. No wonder Her Royal Highness
is more devoted than ever to her cam
era. But just now her hobbies are in
allegiance, poor thing! She is sick
nursing. According to the latest ac-
counts the Queen of Denmark cannot
last long. now that dropsy has set in.
Poor Princess Victoria is keeping
very quiet and busy. my work is to
be a good aunt; that's what am hv-
ing for;" she said the other day. And
she spends most of her time in MAX
ing toys and small garments. Poor
girl, if her romance had been fulfilled,
she would have made an excellent
mother. AS it is, she is her fathers
principal solace in his illness.
I asked a friend who is having
CAV time in Homburg, whether the
rumors about the Crown Princess OF
Roumania were true. I had heard
from several quarters that the pretty
young lady was learning to fiirt. and
that her husband strongly objected,
the result being want of harmony al
most as serious as that which has sep
arated her sister and the Grand Duke
of Hesse. My friend says that things
have been grossly exaggerated. Prin-
cess Marie's devotion to her husband
during his long illness might well pro-
tect her from malice; and it is only
natural that she should enjoy her free
dom a little, now that her cares are
lessened. That she is a bit lively
/ do not deny; look at the influence
of heredity which must press upon
her! and she is naturally much ad-
mired. Her husband might remember
his own nonsense in the past and the
absurd Vacaresco affair before letting
jealousy influence him. One little es-
canade of the Princess has been taken
ND and made much of in a way that
she never intended. When her sister

story.
From Scotland hear that the IRE
pressible Mrs. Asquith is distinguish
ing herself on the golf links, as usual,
and that the visitors follow her about.
The other day there was a village fair
of some sort, accompanied by ''round-
abouts"-i. e., wooden horses arranged
in a ring and sent spinning round the
machinery. Instead of riding in the
usual way Mrs. Asquith stood upon
the horses back and kept her balance
while whirling around at a marvellous
pace. "Dodo" doesn't seem to mind
what he does, so long as it is some
thing that no one else has done.

SOCIAL REFoRMERs
They Discuss Annexation and Exten-
sion of Territory

sion of Territory
NEW YORK. July 6.-Americanism and
Annexation and the Dangers to Labor from
Hawaii and the Philippines, was the sub
ject of discussion at meeting Of the Social
RefornA Club last night. Edward King rep
resented the side, favorable to the scheme
of annexation, taking as his theme Labor
Interest in Americas World Mission.
The theory that the annexation of Hawaii
and the Philippines would result in the
cheapening of labor by the importation
into this country of coolies and natives OF
these two groups Of Islands, who could live
on a much lower scale than the American
worklngmen, was dismissed by Mr.. King
with the statement that the working ele-
ment of both Hawaii and the Philippines
were too lazy and far too incompetent to
prove az all menace to active American
workingmen.
On the other hand, he commended, America
had God-gven mission to perform.
Its own Institutions of liberty and self-gov-
eminent, II carried into those benighted
countries, would lift them from the quag-
mire of superstition and presen. misery. 1t
would make them independent and free, and
above all things. 1t would teach them the
blessings of government that maintained
strict separation of religion and politics
and II American politics he argued, were
not all that some thought 1t should be, 1t
was because the American people had set
thmselves standard far above that adopted
by any other nation In the world. Every
other country, he said, had a more CT less
unfavorable record, for which 1t is trying
to make amends at this late hour; whereas
The United States has nothing of that sort
to live down and could be gin with clean
score, which there would be but little diff
Guilty to maintain unblemished.
Mr.. King was followed by Prof. I. A
Hourwich, formerly Professor Of Politica
Economy at the University of Chicago, who
spoke from what he called: IAN anti-im
perialistic View"
He declared himself entirely opposed t
the extension or expansion Of American ter
ritory. He said in part:
mo good whatever can come from tn,
annexation of foreign territory, the people
of which can never be in sympathy with us
or even be our equals. 1t would load bur

learned that passengers would be taken off

besieged by hundreds imploring chance to

away. Those brought to Jamaica came In
the clothes they stood in, some even with
absolutely no kind of baggage, having
thought only of escaping with their lives.

American shells flew around their house on
Saturday and Sunday morning. Mr.. Rams

would not.
The report was that the city would be
bombarded yesterday, beginning at 10 in the
morning or at noon. The reports varied. No
one seems to know accurately the strength
of the Spanish forces in the city and its
environs; but 5000 appears probable esti-
mate of those fit for duty. Streams of
| wounded have been flowing in day and night
from the firing lines. Every fifth house in
Santiago is an improvised hospital.

known when the Alert and Pallaz LEFT, but
was rumored through the city.
1t is understood here that an officer Of the

at Port Royal.
The captain of the Almrante Oquendo is
supposed to have arrived on the Alert In

Linares and the authorities advising sur

a favorable response, cabled to Madrid on

fought and lost, should now, in the interest
of humanity, cease to continue the useless
struggle.

leaves no legislation of general importance

the bill allowing volunteers to vote may be
pressed, but it is not believed quorum can
be obtained for any business that would
lead to prolonged debate. Unobjected
business will no doubt be considered ard
some military bills may be brought for

nations pending in the senate but those to
which there are any objection are not like
ly to be acted upon.
Senators and representatives are anxious
to get away, and the belief among the
leaders is that final adjournment will be on
