10 Clear Out Aliens.

In view of the many outbreaks
among foreigners employed in the an
thracite mines, some of the operators
are talking over plans for getting rid
of this lawless element. 1t is said that
in a short time a movement will be
started having for its aim the removal
of many of these foreigners from the
coal regions. The officials think they
can get plenty of law-abiding work
men to operate their mines, and that
while they may have to pay slightly
higher wages, they will In the end save
by 1t.
Only few operators are expected
to adopt the plan at first, and if they
are successful the big corporations
will doubtless follow suit. The for
eigners will have to be turned away by
degrees. Any attempt at wholesale
expulsion would precipitate riots.

For whole week the merry making
ana pleasures will go on in this staid
ole town of Amsterdam and the Slow
paced, honest people of this wonderful
country are not likely soon to forget
the crowning of the maiden queen.
Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Maria,
queen of Holland, was born OH August
81, 1880, and according to the law of
her country the sovereign comes Of age
at 49,
The young queen is the daughter of
the late King William III, and OF his
second wife, Princess Emma, daughter
of Prince George Victor of Waldeck.
She succeeded to the throne on the
death of her father. November 23 $780,
when she was but ten years old. Since
then her mother has been acting as
queen regent.
The little queens mother was but a.
year older than her daughter is now
when she was called to the throne, for
she was only nineteen when she was
married to William Ill
He was then an old man. His first
wife was Sophia. daughter of the King
of Wurtemburg, whom he married in
1889, when still the prince of Orange.
The princess was a woman of rather
strong will, and from all the stories
that have come dawn to us, her royal
consort needed t;If- such q woman to
look after him. lie vas not particular
about what he did an| his carryings on
were the talk OF Europe for many
years. She managed TO keep him with
in some sort of bounds for a few years
until his father died and he became
the king, with a fortune of 100 00O, ,Oa9
fiorins to squander. The money had
more effect on him than the will power
of his consort, and even before her
death ha was a great admirer of the
stage.
When he was 62 years old however.
he really fell in love. The object OF
his affections was Princess Helen cf
Waldeck-Pyrmont. now the widowed
Duchess Of Albany She was then but
20 years Old and the suit Of her an
ciant lover met with very cold re-
ception. The king was much mortified,
but one day he heard her sister Emma
remark to her that she herself would
never have refused to be a queen,
whereupon the king switched around
and fell in love with Emma.
William had two sons by his first
wife. The elder dted after career of
dissipation in Paris and the other was
afflicted with an incurable spine dis
ease, and so was unfit for the throne.
The queen regent devoted all her
energies to the education of her daugh-

British View of Our Liabilities.

1t may very we'll be that in the case
OF Cuba the United States will feel
bound by her explicit pledges to try
the experiment OF self-government in
that island; but she cannot do this
without leaving something in the
nature Of aresident commission to in
sure that the last state Of Cuba is not
worse than the first. And if, after
three or four years, it is clear that
United States Intervention, far from
bettering the condition of the Cubans,
has brought about more deplorable
state of chaos than ever, then the
ideal with which the present war was
begun--an ideal made sacred by the
blood of United States citizens-will
become an imperative command. The
case of the Philippines stands some
what differently. No explicit pledges
were given in regard to them. AS an
incident in a war taken for humane
reasons, the United States has made
herself de facto responsible tor life
and property in these islands. This is
a grave responsibility, and 1t certainly
will not be discharged by an igno-
minious flight, just when the response
bility begins to weigh. No amount
of moral platitudes upon the obliga-
tions of good faith would serve to
cover the naked fact that, having
taken up the sword in the cause Of
good government, the United States
only succeeds in abolishing what little
government did exist to make way for
sheer anarchy. We refuse to believe
this of any section of the English
speaking family-least of all, of the
people who have made the United
States what it is to-day in the comfy
of nations.-L0nd0N Ontlook.

Amsterdam, Sept. 6-WiIheimina
Helena Pauline Mara, great grand
daughter of William of Orange, and
daughter of William III and Princess
Emma, has to-day taken the oath Of
ol!ce and been crowned queen OF the
Netherlands. The coronation occurred
at l0 y. n., in Nieuwe Kirk, a catke-
oral like place which dates bach to tie
early part of the fifteenth century.
This building is celebrated for its
thirty-four ai;ars. it's splendid win
dows, its wonderfully carved pulpit, It's
famous tombs. iiere were crowned
the great Prince OF Orange and WIZ
liam II and III.
The installation of Queen Wfhelrni-
ia was an impressive but simple afrsir
IL was attended by the diplomatic
corps and many distinguished foreign
crs, including several noted east IL
dian princes and vast concourse et
her subjects.
The young queen was attended to the
throne by the court, lnciudlnB the heau
marshal, the high chamberlain, the
chief master of ceremonies, aidss-ae-
camp, and gentlemen and ladies In
waiting.
She wore the royal purple and car
ried the golden s2eptre of power. Be
fore ascending tbs throne Queen VIII
helmina took the following solemn
oath of office:

tits an agreeable duty to acknowl-
edge the patriotism and bravery of
those rich and so. called aristocratic
young men who are to be found in
nearly all the regiments of the volun-
teer army. We do not, OF course,
refer to those sons of their fathers
who have obtained staff appointments
through social or political influence.
Such men deserve no credit and it is
to be noted that they have achieved
little honor during the progress of the
war. The very fact that they sought
to enter the army with rank which
they had not earned shows that they
were actuated not by patriotism, but
by desire for the cheap glory which
may attach to a pair of shoulder
straps, secured through patriotism.
But there are hundreds, and per-
haps thousands of society men, young
fellows with rich fathers, clubmen,
leaders of the german, who enlisted
as privates, and who are privates still,
unless they have achieved promotion
through their own merits. These
men, whether they fought with Shaf-
ter at Santiago, or whether they were
retained in the great volunteer camps,
have done their duty bravely and un-
complainlngly. They have accommo-
dated themselves to the rough fare,
they have slept in mud holes, they
have performed the necessary but un-
pleasant duties inseparable from mill
tary life with a spirit which shows
that they did not enlist for exhibition
purposes, but because they wished to
serve their country in Its hour of need.

Breaking Up An Empire.

One effect of the war with Spain
has been to cast "a glaring searchlight
upon the decadence of that proud
nation, and to acquaint general read

cline during the past two hundred
years. Philip IFS empire was the
most extensive in the world at the
commencement of his reign but dur
ing his lifetime the seeds ofdlsintegra.

most other North Africap possessions,

Burgundy and Milan. The following
list OF losses, taken from a condensed
history, will exhibit the rapid and
extensive decadence of SPAN:

How Soldiers Size Up.

The Yankee is a much bigger ma n
than the Spaniard, and tha, is an i'm.
portant advantage for the American
in this war; With all his pride OF race
the naughty Don is a little fellow.
In stature he is least among the
Europeans, averaging only 81 inches
over S feet. The soldier who fights
under the stars and stripes averages
S feet y in his stocking feet, he
weighs ten pounds more than the
Spaniard, and his chest girth is nearly
two inches greater. These are points
that count.
OF course size is not everything in
soldier. Never in history has il
counted for so little as it does to-day,
inasmuch as modern warfare is con.
Quoted chiefly by machinery, battles
are fought at long ranges and hand
to hand encounters are rare. The
Japanese are shorter than the Span
iards, yet there are no hercer fighters.
The American Indians, on the other
hand, are superior in stature to the
Yankees. But, other things being
equal, the bigger man has an advan.
tage. The Yankee is the tallest of
civilized men. In Europe only the
Norwegian approaches him nearly in
this respect, and the Englshman is a
full inch shorter.
