The Kansas City Times reminds it's
readers that Hanna is not so strong
as he was a year ago. The leaders of
the party, including such men as Quay,
Plat, Foraker, Allison, Henderson,
Lodge and Hawley, are opposed to him
as a presidential quantity, and his I'M
popularity has ever been accentuated
by such a staunch financial friend as J.
P1erpont Morgan, who refused to have
Hanna name put on the list of direc-
tors of the steel trust.

King Edward is said to have made
some sweeping changes at Windsor.
The late Queens pets have beer given
away, her faithful servants retired on
pensions, and her costly and rare wines
are to be sold at auction, while
the Prince Consort's rooms, which had
been closed for many years by Queen
Victorias orders, and which were kept
as they were at the time of his death.
have been opened and refurnished in
modern style, and the state apartments
have been transformed into rooms
where the members of the royal family
can live in comfort. The jubilee pres
ents and many ~favorite pictures of
Queen Victoria have been sent to Lon
don, and the Queens personal belong
ings have been distributed among the
members of her family. Even her dogs
have net escaped the new order. The
smooth-coated collies, which were her
fayorite pets, have been distributed
among the people of Windsor. and the
other collies, daschunds and pomeran-
ians, about seventy in all. have been
claimed by various princesses for King
Edwards Queen. Alexandra, cares little
for anything but pugs and terriers.
Next month 5000 dozen bottles of
costly wine from the late Queens eel
lars will be sold at public auction in
London. Each bottle will nave the royal
label on it, Various reasons are given
for this almost unprecedented action.
The most probable consists in the fact
that royal hospitality is now generally
confined to WHISTLES and sodas and
champagne, and the lapse of the prac-
tice by which court functionaries for
merly received daily a bottle of ma
deria or port as part of their salar-
les.
All these things come as a shock to
the people who had almost grown to
believe that Queen Victoria would live
forever.
