infant Mortality in Russia.

The medical reports presented to the
local Russian authorities by the doc
tors of the different districts reveal an
alarming state of things with regard
TO infant mortality. 1t appears that in
MANY of the governments the proper
tior of the children who die during the
first wear is as high as 40 and even sc
ner cent. In isolated cases it is even
higher. The reports ascribe this ter
rihle mortality mainly to the ignor-
ance of the peasants, and to the rae,
that the mothers have frequently tc
neglect their children in order to worn
in the fields.

preserving the throne for her boy until
his majOrity-a task that was looked
upon in the light of a forlorn hope at
the time of his birth-yet she has
failed to give satisfaction TO any of the
great political parties in the kingdom.
She has satisfied nobody. and so great
is her unpopularity that. realizing it
and fearing lest it should handicap her
boy she is making the. to her, particu-
larly cruel sacrifice of taking up her
residence under a different roof, lest
there should be any suspicion in the
minds of the people that she is influ-
encing his policy, thereby rendering it
distasteful to them.
After next May a radical change will
take place at Madrid. The young king
will have by his side. as his principal
mentor constant companion and only
in-law, Prince Charles of Bourbon, who
was one of the aids of Gen. Weyler
when the latter was governor general
of Cuba, and who has remained on
terms of the closest intimacy ever
since with the commander who used
to be known in this country prior to
the war as THE Butcher" 1t is owing
to Prince Charles that the young king
has taken such a pronounced liking for
Weyler, and it may safely be assum ed
that Prince Charles and Weyler will
on the conclusion of the regency, be-
come all powerful in Spain. With re-
gard to Prince Charles. it is known
that he is foe to Liberalism, and

that his ideas are conservative, not to
say reactionary. AS for Weyler, he
does not conceal his disgust and con-
tempt for parliamentarism, which he
regards as the curse of Spain, and as
responsible for the loss of her colonies.
Indeed. he has publicly proclaimed
that 1t may become necessary to estab-
lish a dictatorship, and has made it
known that he will not hesitate to
establish himself in that capacity II
it becomes necessary.
That some changes OF drastic char
acter are necessary in Spain 1t cannot
be denied. Much has to be done, and
without any further delay In order to
put an end to the widespread and deep
rooted dissatisfaction throughout the
kingdom, which is driving people into
the ranks of the Republican party. But
whether Gen. Weyler is the man to do
this remains to be seen.
With regard to the ceremony by
means Of which King Alfonso will take
into his hands the executive power
in May next, it will resemble In many
respects the coming of age of the
young Queen of Holland. Thus there
will be no coronation-there has been
none in Spain for hundreds of years.
But the Spanish crown, circle OF
gold, richly decorated with jewels and
precious stones, adorned with eight
leaves and closed with four arches, will
be borne before the young king on
cushion in the procession, and will be
placed on a cushion beside him when
he takes his seat on the throne, with
the royal sceptre in his hand, and
takes the oath as king to observe the
constitution, whereupon the president
of the senate proclaims him king. The
young king, may add, has grown very
tall; SO tall, indeed. that he has to
stoop in order to kiss his mother, who
is far from being short woman, and
he is likewise developing very mark
ed fringe of dark down on his upper
lip.
There is much satisfaction in official
circles here over the appointment OF
DR.. j. L. NJ Curry, as special envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipo-
tertiary to represent the president at
the coming of age on May II OF King
Alfonso of Spain. DIR. Curry Is
native of Virginia and was formerly
minister to Spain. During his stay In
Madrid he proved exceedingly popular
both socially and among diplomats.
