A King as Livcryman.

In Norway there is & "prctender. -
He isn't actively engaged in pretend
ing, but he keeps livery stable. He
is Ivar Tofte.
He traces his descent straight down
from Harold Hearfager---Harold the
Fair .Haired-snd says" he is really
King Of Norway. This Harold's date
the chronologers give as from $50 to
933. In his own district Ivar Tofte is
considered King, and disputes have
been brought to him to settle just as
if he were King, disputes which would
not be taken to the real sovereign.

the smooth and cheerful ones accus-
toned to greet tho ear Of his rich
patient, Miss Wilmar. ''And I think,
ma'am, your husbands getting along
will do very we'll. Let him continue
the application as directed. There's
no need of my coming again."
Not coming again! and poor old Mr..
Gray hardly relieved in the least!
Mrs. Gray looked, just a little rising
pride from her gentle eyes, said moth
ing, but produced a pocketbook con.
tanning great deal more money
than the doctor would have believed
could have been found in tho house,
and paid, without moments ques.
tion, the fee he demanded. 1twas an
exorbitant fee, too, considering what
DR.. Dorm believed to bo tho circum.

truth, he was surprised at being paid
so promptly and literally. He looked
little pnzzled-lingered q little
but not word said Mrs. Gray or her
husband, only waited for him to go,
which he did very slowly, bidding
them tolerably civil good-morning.
''Well, aunt" CALCULATED Miss vii.
mer, stepping out from an adjoining
room, as the doctor left the house.
''This is what you get by living SO
that upstarts like that think you're no
better than paupers! To be sure, it's
none Of his business, or that OF any
body else, if you choose to live to suit
yourself. And he may reckon on hav.

astonished and mortified, never knew

tho surroundings. They were plain,

SPAIN PROTESTS.
Objection Made to the Sailing of the Iowa
and Oregon for Manila

Objection Made to the Sailing of the Iowa
and Oregon for Manila
CHICAGO, Oct. pa special from
Washington, D. c., says:
Spain has protested against the battle
ships Oregon and Iowa going around
Cape Horn to the Philippine islands and
demands their return to the United
States, claiming the action in sending
these ships to Manila is a violation of
the terms of the protocol.
The protest was formally submitted
to Secretary Hay by M. 'Thiebaut, charge
daffaires of the French embassy. Spain
claims that Admiral Dewey's feet cam
not be reinforced during the armistice,
and that the status quo must be main
tanned. This is probably in retaliation
for the demands made by this govern
ment upon Spain when it was learned a
ship load of reinforcements for the
island of Panay were discovered on the
Buenos Ayres, at Singapore.
This government peremptorily de-
manded the return of these troops, as
Spain neglected to observe the formality
of asking permission.
1t has been generally understood that
while Sagasta did not give this govern
ment permission to send the Oregon and
Iowa to Manila, he was advised of the
governments wishes and acquiesced in
the plan. The Oregon and Iowa are
now on the South American coast par
ticipating in a celebration held by one
of the South American republics and
Fan be recalled if the government sees
tit to acquiesce in the Spanish demand.

A POSSIBLE PLAY.

Disorders in Paris Might Be an Excuse For
Spanish Commissioners to Leave.
WASHINGTON, Oct. .27.-Some appre-
hension has been manifested in some
quarters, as to the possible adverse eff
feet upon the peace commissions at
Paris of an upheaval in France. It has
been suggested that the Spanish cause
is in such shape That the Spanish gov
eminent has nothing to lose and every
thing to gain by anything that can be
brought about. However, it may be
stated that in the opinion of the state
department officials here there is little
danger of the situation in Paris becom-
ing so acute as to justify the abandon
ment of the work of the commission, on
the ground that the commissioners
themselves are in physical danger. It
is confidently believed that with the
change of the cabinet in France, the
present disorder will subside, and
normal conditions will be re-
stored. 1t is always possible that
the Spanish commissioners, in despair
over their failure to force the
Cuban debt upon the United States in
any shape, may break off the sessions,
but this is not regarded as probable. It
is suspected the Spanish programme is
to trump up as many points of difference
as possible, relying upon the sympathy
sure to be excited among European ma
tions by their abandonment of each
point under compulsion from the Amer
lean commissioners as the basis for a
supreme stand at the end on the Philip
pines. This being the Spanish policy, it
Is expected that when the committee
takes up the subject of Porto Rico and
the coaling stations in the Ladrone
islands, there will be many hair splitting
objections interspersed by the Spanish to
any propositions from the American
commissioners, just as many references
or ATTEMPTS at reference to Madrid. and

American Commission Prepared for the
Opening of the Philippine Question.
PARIS, Oct. 27.-The American peace
commissioners held a session of several
hours duration prior to the joint session
of the two commissions which opened at
4 o'clock. The Americans fully realize
that they are approaching the. chief
question entrusted to them, namely, the
future of the Philippine islands, and it
may be taken for granted that they are
well prepared to take the matter up if it
is preached by the Spaniards.
