Feeling that an apology was necessary,
Mr.. Smythe mustered up his courage

asking for Miss NJ, whose name he

of the supposed crank, whom she now
imagined was prosecuting her the conVen-

expression of terror and she gave pierre

For many months past there has been

| Queen of Holland The most prominent
| aspirant at present is the oldest son of
| Emperor William of Germany ~ as a
union between that young man and WI
| hclmina would result in merging the king
| dom Of Holland in the German empire the
| Netherlanders are much opposed TO 1t.
| Uollanders are intensely national in their
own slow-going way and therefore, view
| with alarm any project which promises
| to abate a jot of their dignity as an indie
| pendent power. The same objection holds
| good with regard to the Queens marriage
with the ruler of or heir TO any OF the
minor German principalities, as like
| process of merger would take place in the
| person of Wilnelminas heir. The only
| certain method of averting the ultimate
| peaceful solution Is to bring about a mat
| riage with a non-Cserman prince and TO
| this end the influence OF Dutch patriots
will doubtless be exerted. Should the
| young Hohenzolern prove to be the lucky
| man the heiress of the Netherlands would
| have made a match exactly corresponding
| TO that which Duchess Mary of Burgundy
| accepted when she gave herself to Maxi
| milan the son OF Emperor Frederick Ill,
| and later himself successfully King of the
Romans and Emperor. The Austrian al

| for nearly 100 years but, of course, there
| would be no conflict of religion In the event
| of a marriage with the Protestant house
al j. s7Ft
| of Wilhelmina would have the, satisfaction
| of knowing that the son of their royal
| mistress would become the head of the
| German empire, as well as lord of the
| Netherlands, and of their rich Indian en-
| pire. OF course. so long as the Queen
| lived the low countries would retain their
| separate political existence, as was the
! case during the lifetime of Duchess Mary
of Burgundy Only on the accession of
| Wilhelmina's son would they become a
| constituent state of the German empire
and thus part with some of the attributes
of sovereignty while retaining as much
local independence as is possessed by Ba-
! varia or Saxony
