DENMARK'S RULERS.

The queen of Denmark as girl had
a very careful education. In music and
art she excelled and her daughters have
all inherited these tastes. Her early
married life was spent in the Yellow
palace. Here their six children were
raised and though their means were
small for their station most of the
stories of the economies of the young
princesses and princes were obliged to
practice are pure fabrications.
The queen of Denmark read a great
deal-Danish, English, German and
French. Of late her majesty has shown
much interest in the German religious
literature of the present day. Queen
Louise has very large correspondence
and exchanges letters every week with
her three daughtrs. She is marvelously
conversant with what goes on in the
world, and the soundness of her polit-
ical judgment is acknowledged by even
the greatest statesmen.
There has rarely been case to equal
that of the king and queen of Denmark.
who are both S0years old. Tolive to such
an age, to rule peacefully and to see
ones children all occupying high places
is rare lot. In spite of his so years
King Christian still sits his horse with
the youthful grace which earned for
him the title of the finest horseman OF
Europe. Sometimes he rides without
stirrups. He is particularly fond of
horses.
Princess Alexandria, the daughter of
the king and queen of Denmark. who
was destined to become the princess of
Wales and probably the future queen of
England, shared room with her sister,
now the dowager empress of Russia, at
the Yellow palace. When Alexandria
was confirmed she was judged of suit
able age to have a separate room and
even of late years she has referred with
distinct pleasure to the small and very
plain sitting-room which was placed at
her disposal. She and her sister were
not allowed to read novels, an exception
being made in favor of THE Heir of
Radcliffe" which she finished the night
before she left for England to be mar
ried.

Shortly before noon Secretary Long
left the navy department for the white
house, and an official confirma ton was
made that second dispatch from Com
modore Dewey had been received. The
secretary carried this with him to the
white house and, pending the confer
once with The president, there was in
tense eagerness among the waiting
crowd to learn the contents of the sec
ond dispatch. Senators who saw the
president secured brief intimaton that
Dewey's victory was overwhelming and
that he had large number of Spanish
prisoners in his possession.
At 1890 p. m. Secretary Long came
from the presidents private room, car
rying the copy of the second message
from Dewey, but, in order to give equal
facilities to the great crowd of people
waiting to gain information, he held it
until he reached his private office.
Then his secretary, Mr.. Finney,
brought the message to the large re-
ception room, where 100 or more anx-
ious newspaper correspondents and
curious observers took the dispatch as
Mr.. Finney read it. 1t was as follows:
"Cavite, May 4, 1898. Long, Secretary
Navy: have taken possession of the naval
station at Cavite. Philippine Islands, and
destroyed it's Notifications. Have destroyed
Notifications at the bay entrance. parolling

wounued. Two hundred and nlty sick and
wounded In hospital within our lines. Much

residents.
