nine years.
 Only in matters touching her father has Wilhelmina declined to interfere. The hide-bound rules which he established for the etiquette of the court remain the same; and the criminal laws rather peculiar in many respects, and formulated by the old Prince of Orange, are untouched. My ever-to-be-forgotten father" is a favor ite figure of speech in the mouth of the young queen; and though she can remem- Der little of the irascible old gentleman who decided so late in life to marry again in order to secure the succession, yet she is true to his kingly memory.
 Holland has experienced boom in stat ury since Wilhelmina came to the throne. Her recent magnificent tribute to the greatest of all Holland philosophers was only equalled in graciousness by the ex- quisite memorial to her musician. Music, never a strong forte with the Hollanders, has received an advance movement, for Wilhelmina has expressed a request to have Melba and Flames sing for her; and this fact has set all Holland to brushing up it's grand opera scores and tuning its grand pianos.
 In the fine arts Wilhelmina is personally interested. A skillful embroiderer herself she has offered numerous prizes to girls embroidery tables at bazaars and has her self acted as judge. She has also stimu- lated the lace making of Holland by purch- asing quantity of the lace of Zutplien for use upon court dress for function at The Hague
 Working in small kingdom upon hm- fted amount of money, for though rich, the Hollanders are frugal, Wilhelmina has done as much in proportion as the most energetic queen that ever sat upon the throne of England. Queen Bess, uncon- ventional and unhampered, advanced the belle arts; and the great Catherine of Rus sia placed women upon a safe intellectual footing; Marie Theresa of Austria read justed the kingdom and refilled the treas- ury; but Wilhelmina has in the brief year that elapses between the 18th and 18th birthdays of a girl. reached out in more different directions than any of these
 The coming year will be one of activity for Holland. Her tariff laws have been revised; her commercial facilities increas- ed; the number of her steamers doubled. In the palace 1t will be busy year also. for Wilhelmina has signified that she will take a husband, and that means another great fete for the little Dutch Kingdom.

threw aside personal feelings and earnest ly sought a man whom she could love, hon. or and cherish according to the VOWS of the Lutheran church.
 From her infancy Wilhelmina dislilked the emperor of Germany. When still quite @ baby girl she visited Berlin with her mother and spent three days in the royal palace. During those three days, William H., with his irresistible love of fun, and having no girls of his own at that time, teased the little girl, and pulled her curls until she cried with vexation. When she left the palace he insisted upon kissing her.
 It was understood, at the time of the wis., it that an alliance might be formed be- tween Wilhelmina and Eitel Frederick, second son of the kaiser But after that visit Wilhelmina would never hear of Ger many without protesting; and, it is said, that she has never been willing to see Prince Frederick to this day. He, poor fel- low, lost good chance for Wilhelmina, though a few years older than he, would have made him better wife, from one point of view, than any other girl in Flu rope.
 Then Wilhelmina looked toward the Sake Coburg family and took in the son of the Duke of Connaught and all those young English princes, but she did not violently love any of them. William of Weld came the nearest, since he was Hollander, but the Russian princes, the Grand Duke Mich- aef ana the Grdn0 Luxe NlcnO1aS, DOIn cousins of the czar, were not popular with her though she tried to like them even as she tried to like other young princes of eligibility.
 At Christmas It was announced that Wilhelmina would soon proclaim her choice, but apparently their young queens sacrifice in making more haste than she desired, the people of Holland caused her to know that they would await her pleas ure; and so 1t came to pass that Christmas came and went and Easter passed over without the interesting announcement.
 Wiihelmina, her mother declared, de- manded too much of husband. She want ed the absolute right to rule her own king dow without him. He should have only title perhaps that of Prince Consort cre- ated by Queen Victoria for the late Prince Albert. Wihemina stated a sum which she would settle upon the prince, her hus- band, but no power would she invest in him. Beyond these things, which were of first importance to the kingdom, she de- sired a man of good looks, even temper and one whom she could love. Day dreams, thesc indeed, for queen!
 Immediately after the czar's peace pro- nunciamento Queen Wilhelmina came out in a statement favoring universal peaca She wrote to the czar that she would fur ther his aims to the utmost; and she also wrote to the commissioners that were be- ing appointed that they were welcome 10 meet in her kingdom.

 While doing other things of more note Wilhelmina was conferring titles. She bestowed the title of Queen Emma upon her mother and she knighted her old tu- tors, those fhom she considered worthy. She established a school for the poor of Amsterdam, one in which the very poor could be taught the homely arts, and she spoke in favor of opening higher schools to women.

ONE STRIKE SETTLED.
o Agreement and Will Return
to Work

Buffalo, N. Y, May, l5.-The grain
shovelers will return to work this morn
ing under the agreement reached at
one o'clock Sunday morning at the con-
ference between the lake carriers and
elevator men and grain shovelers. The
agreement provides that the grain SHOW
elers shall receive $1.s5 per 1000 BUSH
els; that superintendent shall be APP
pointed by the bishop to guard the in
terests of the men; that local board of
arbitrators shall be appointed to pass
upon any grievances which may arise
in the future, and that IA of Contractor
Corners boss scoopers shall be sus-
pended pending an investigation into
the charges made by the grain shovel
ers that they are identified with saloon
interests or otherwise Objectionable.
Notwithstanding the adjustment of
the grain-shoveling trouble, the tie-up
of the coal and ore docks is said to be
quite as serious as was the strike just
ended. Practically all the coal and ore
handlers, numbering about 1900 men,
are out. The freight handlers, who
struck out of sympathy for the grain
shovelers, now refuse to go back until
their wages are raised from IS cents to
35 cents an hour.

FAvoRs EXPANSION.
Gen. Joe Wheeler in Speech In
Charleston Says Enlargement
of Territory Is All Right.

Charleston, S. c., May 12.-At the ses-
sion of the Confederate Veterans union
yesterday Gen. Joe Wheeler was given
a hearty welcome and in his address he
spoke strongly in favor of expansion.
Gen. Wheeler touched upon the question
of expansion by declaring that southern
soldiers and southern statesmen had ever
taken prominent part in all the move
ments looking to the enlargement of our
territory, and continued:
1.-THE position in which the American
people find themselves to-day was not
sought by them, but is the logical result
of conditions thrust upon the country by
a course of events beyond our control.
We stand before the gaze of civilization
confronted by grave responsibilities. The
supreme test of American institutions is
involved, and the American system of gov
eminent is on trial.
ITO return to the starting point of a year
ago would be to lose what it would take a
century to regain. In answer to those who
say that the policy of our forefathers for
bade the extension of territory I would
point to Jefferson and the Louisiana pur-
| chase, Monroe and Florida, Polk and Texas
and the vast territory acquired from Mex
leo, and later to Andrew johnson and the
acquisition of Alaska. - G...
IF there be any who contend that we
should not permit the island of Cuba to
become part of the United States and it's
people, if they desire it, to enjoy all the
rights of American citizenship, have only
to point to the official declarations of our
great statesmen. commencing with
Thomas Jefferson and running through al
most the entire period of the first half
of this century. During all that period
our honored statesmen and presidents
from Jefferson to Buchanan. laid down
in their messages and state documents the
imperative necessity of making the Pearl
of the Antilles a part of the United States. "

HEAVY SHEEP LOSS.
Thousands Lie Dead Strevvn Along
the Hills in Utah-Resuit'
of Cold Snap.

Denver, Col, May ia special to
the News from Price, Utah, says:
There are thousands of head of dead
sheep strewn along the hills and in
the gulches leading into the canyons
of the Price river, some 25 miles to
the west of here. Flock owners have
been out since the cold snap of ten
days ago getting their herds together
and find the worst condition of affairs
that has existed for many years. The
10000 head or more sheared at Price
and $4,000 to 10000 at Cotton were sent
into the hills, where there was snow
at the time and where the grazing
was good. The shearing season was too
early and in some instances as high
as 25 per cent. is the loss. Out of 100000
head owned in Price there is loss al
ready accounted for of over $500. Jo-
seph Nougieur loses 1900 head out of
5000, and Nephi Schofield 700 to 900
out of a bunch of 5000. Herds further

The corn oil from which the rubber is

glutinous portions of the kernel are
used in making glucose and starch,
