 .Ame1ie is devout Catholic, while Don Carlos sides with the liberals, and openly espoused their cause against the church. Violent scenes between husband and wife in the Lisbon pal ace followed, in which, it is said, the queen threatened to leave Portugal, and arrangements were made at one time for her departure on long jour ney in foreign lands, but as the king refused to permit her to take her children with her the trip was aban- doned.
 Queen Amelie is known to be g wom- an of strong will power. She is in her thirty-sixth year and is a daugh- ter of the late Comte de Paris, thus sister of Duke Philip of Orleans and Maria Dorothea. She possesses the dominant qualities of her illustrious parents, while, on the other hand, the king is of rather weak and worldly character. The couple have two sons, Crown Prince Louis Philip, duke of Braganzo, and Infant Manuel, duke of Beja.
 There are other grievances against the king which steeled Queen Amelie's heart. The king has proved several times of late unfaithful to his mar riage VOW, which recently led to public scandal. A prominent physician in Lisbon committed suicide over the loss of his beautiful young wife, whose affections the king had alienated.
 The climax of royal domestic con- tention was reached when King Carlos caused an edict to be issued in the Diario do Governo against the cloisters of his realm which commands that all religious institutions will be required to make 9 report of their rules and regulations to the respective municipal authorities and that all who do not comply would be closed up by the gov ernment. The edict has been received with storms of indignation by the cler- icals and even the more conservative of the liberal party are astounded at the kings boldness.
 The queen with tears in her eyes beseeched the king to relent, but he remained obdurate, and it was then said that unless the king would modify the edict she would not hesitate to take the yeil

JOHN DREW.

The appearance of John Drew in f.Richard Carvel'' Tuesday evening at Polls will be of many-sided interest. Tn the first place it will give us Drew in a role different from any that he has ever played here. Tn the second place it furnishes us a production which has gained an enormous success at the Empire theater. New York, the one to be given here being exactly the game even to the minutest detail.

THE SEABOARD AIR LINE
Wholesale Discharge of Employees
Question of st. Johns Successor

Norfolk, Va, January 10-The remov-
ais at the Seaboard Air Line shops
that have taken place in the last twen-
ty-our hours are wholesale, and are in
conformity with the determination Of
President Williams and his board of di-
rectors to reduce expenses.
1t became known today that the
board of directors, at it's meeting yes
terday, did not take final action upon
the resignation of Vice President and
General Manager st. John, and in the
general Office building today the hope
was expressed that he might be induc-
ed to reconsider his resignation. There
is but little possibility of any such out
come, however.
1t is more likely that the board is
awaiting replies from those railway
fficials who are possibilities in this con-
nection. The successor to Mr.. st. John,
it is safe to assert, has not yet been
decided upon. If his successor has
been appointed, that fact has not been
given out for publication.
Rumor has it that Mr.. st. Johns s
successor is Mr.. Barr, who was form
erly with the Norfolk and Western rail-
way and latterly with the Chicago and
Santa Fe. Mr.. Barr was here yester-
0av.

SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA

London, January II a. m.-The sit
uation in South Africa grows worse
rather than better. Lord Kitchener's
dispatches are more laconic than those

The Times, in an editorial today,
finds comfort in the thought that the
process of attrition is doing it's work
and must shortly lead to the inevitable
result"
In other quarters, however, there is
less satisfaction with the position of
affairs, which has practically necessi-
tated the fortification of Cape Town.

with Lord Kitchener's demands for re-
Inducements,

nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
