Vulnerable kilograms of sympathy
that continue pouring from abroad,
President Mckinley gives the great
est pleasure. The Daily Chronicle re
marks:
1T is believed that President Ne
kinley's dispatch was the first to
reach the Prince of Wales under his
new title, and just as Frederick. the
Great, war the first European SOW
ereign to recognize the Independence
OF the United States. SO now he Pres
ident of the great republic has been
the first to recognize the kingship of
he great grandson of the monarch
against whose authority the Ameri-
can colonists successfully rebelled -
This is very touching when one
remembers the visit OF the Prince of
Wales to Washington tomb. Prob
ably it was some remembrance OF
that incident which made President
Mckinley hasten to be first to salute
the prince of Wales as King, aud the
compliment, we are told, was most
koenly appreciated.
