Parents and Nation Disappointed
That the Infant Is Not an
Heir to the Throne.
DUKE OF AOSTA is PLEASED.

SPECIAL BY CABLE.
Rome. June Queen Helena of Italy
gave birth to a daughter this morning.
The nation is divided between Joy and
disappointment over the birth of a Princess.
II is reported that King Victor Emmanuel
has expressed himself as being entirely
content with a daughter. but there is dis
appointment in other quarters. Guns are
being fired throughout Italy in honor Of the
event and shoals OF kilograms OF congratu-
lation are being received.
The Queen and her infant daughter are
doing well. The Princess will receive the
rames Yolanda M~argherita.
The birth of a daughter rather than a
son to the Queen of Italy must he a severe
disappointment to the court and the peo-
pie. who nave been hoping for an heir to
the throne. The KIM and Queen have
been married for more than four years. and
the ~daughter born to-day Is their first child.
The disappointment OF King Victor En-
manuel over the sex of the infant is doubt
less equaled by the satisfaction Of his cous-
in. the Duke Of Aosta. and the Duchess. for
meriy Princess Helene OF Orleans. whose
young son is still heir p~resumptive to the
Italian throne.
How the Nurse VIII Re Paid.
No one will hear from them of their ex-
ultatlOn IN the Dlrtn OF n uduSnter 1nStedu
of the expected son. but their actions. nota-
bly, the actions Of the Duchess Of Aosta, re-
Gently show only too plainly what are their
sentiments.
There will be all the national r~ejoicings
that were planned for the coming of a
Prince. but there will be little heart in II
all. 1t was hoped hat the birth Of an heir
would settle discomfort and solidify the
Kingdom.
Sympathy for the King in his d~isappoint-
ment will have little place in the disturbed
popular breast The Socialist agitators will
rather esteem the failure Of an heir to be
a personal grievance. and dissension. It Is
feared. will grow and increase.
The infants nurse. besides receiving lib
eral pay and a pension. will get 600 with
the baby's first tooth. another 5000 when
the child is able to speak. and a similar
sum when the little Princess walks unsup-
ported.
Pigeons TO Spread the News.
In anticipation OF the birth Of an heir TO
the Queen, King Victor Emmanuel In March
last ordered 100 cradles and 100 sets of baby
clothes, to be distributed for as many ba-
bies as should be born on the same day as
Queen Helena's.
Many carrier pigeons have been released
