For many months past there has
been speculation as TO which Euro
pean prince would be lucky enough 20
secure the hand Of wilhelnina. the rs
Gently crowned queen Of Holland. The
most prominent aspirant At present
is the eldest son OF Emperor William
OF Germany, but as union between
that young man and wilhelmiuR would
result in merging the Kingdom OF Hoi-
land In the German empire. the Meth
erlanders are much opposed TO IL
Holianders are intensely national IN
their slow-going way and therefore
view with alarm any project which
promises to abate a jot OF their dig

same objection holds good with re-

ruler of or heir to any OF the minor
German prlncipalities as a like pros
ess OF merger would take place in the
person Of wilheIrnlna's heir. The only
certain method Of ayerting the niti-
mate peaceful solution of the Neither

bring about a marriage with non
German prince and to this end the
influence Of Dutch patriots VIII doubt

Hohenzoilern prove to be the lucky

would have made a match exactly cor
responding 10 that which Duchess MARY
Of Burgundy accepted when she gave
herself to MAMMALIAN. the son OF En-
perur Frederick III, and later himself
successfully king OF the Romans ana
emperor. The Austrian alliance
plunged the low countries In woe fof
nearly loo years. but OF course there
would be no conflict Of religion In the
event OF marriage with the PTotes-
tant house OF HohenEoliern. and the
present subjects Of wiihelmina would
have the satisfaction OF knowing that
the son OF their royal mistress would
become the head Of the German en-
pire. OF course. so long as the queen
lived the low countries would retain
their separate political existence. AZ
was the case during the lifetime Of
Duchess Mary OF Burgundy. Only on
the accession OF wiIhelmina's son
would they become a constituent state

with some Of the attributes OF soyer-

Independence as is possessed By 3a-
