But, on the other hand, her continued
presence at Madrid might cause com
plications. She might once more be
come unwillingly and. perhaps. unwit-
tingly, an instrument Of the malcon-
tents, and the position of the young
King AT the termination of the re-
Seilcy next May will be critical enough
in All conscience without creating any
new difficulties for it. Besides, 1t would
not be right to permit the old Queen
TO reside in Spain and not King Francis
Yet the latter absolutely declines to
live with mis- consort. from whom he
has been parted for more than q quar-
ter of a century, their relations with
one another being limited to formaly Wis
its, usually accompanied by a lunch
con. twice a year. They have not a
single taste IN common, and it is idle
20 dream of their ever residing once
more under the same roof. And yet the
spectacle which would be presented by
the aged couple living apart at Madrid
in different quarters of the town woult,
not be precisely calculated TO enhance
the prestige of the Spanish court, non
would it constitute a wholesome eX-
ample to the young King, who is at the
most imprcssionable age just at pre-
sent. and who. thanks to the devoted
care of his estimable mother, has beer
until now shielded from every kind OF
trouble.

English society has been exercised over
whether it was proper to honor the toast

In spite Of all this, she will be wei
coined with enthusiasm when she re-
turns to Madrid in order to attend the
cOming-of-age festivities of her grand
son. For. with all her failings, she has
always been intensely patriotic and far
more thoroughly in touch with the
Spanish people than the estimable
Queen Regent. The latter has always
maintained 4 certain amount Of re
serve, whereas Queen Isabella has her
life long been distinguished for a sort
ui regal familiarity and gcniality. as il
realizing that, no matter what she
might do or say. she could ney er in
the slightest degree diminish or impair
her status as queen. She is a won
d"rful ola wonan-ready to laugh and
cry at the same moment, saying the
first thing that comes to her mind, re-
gardless Of consequences. ANA even in
her moments OF greatest abandon al
ways unccnsciously. perhaps, retains
something that reminds one that she
has been a queen for more than half d
century. Whether or not she will be
permitted to transfer her abode t.
Spain after the celebration next May
remains to be seen. She has repeated
ly Cntreated that she might be permit
ted to spend the closing years Of her
cventful life in her native land. and,
as she is now considerably over 20
years of age ana much broken in
health. there are many who are of the
opinion that her request should be com
piled with.

Then, too. there is the question of the
old Queens infatuation for unworthy
faVOriteS, which on several occasions
has led to very painful episodes be
tween her children and herself. Some
10 or II years ago her entire household
at Paris resigned, and her daughter
Princess Eulalie removed her children
from the Paldis de Castillo on account
of the presence there Of an Austrian
adventurer who had won his way into
the good graces of Isabella. This was
by no means the only scandal of the
kind, ana one of the very first things
that the late King Alfonso did on be-
ing restored to the throne was to
cauS" the arrest Of the eX-scullion
Mlrlori. and 20 ship him off to the
Philippines, where he remained until
he died. 1t vas the presence at the

Lord Downshire is the head of the
great Irish Protestant house of Hill
which has always taken such a leading
part in the Orange movement in Ireland
and his name should be familiar to people
in this country, since the first Marquis OF
Downshire was British secretary of state
for war during the American struggle foI
independence in the eighteenth century
He is hereditary constable Of Hills
borough Fort and very rich, this being
thanks to the wonderfully clever admin.
istration of his property during his long
minority by his uncle, Lord Arthur Hill
who is one of the best known figures il

II is not that old Queen Isabella her
self would plot against the govern
ment, or embarrass the latter in any
way. but she is extremely impulsive.
thoughtless ana amenable to the in
huehces of designing and oft I'M
scrupulous persons; and while in Paris,
where she makes her permanent home,
these influences merely tend to injure
her reputation, her prestige and her
dignity, they would in Spain, where
her popularity is still very great and
far superior to that of the Regent, be
used against the government, and even
against the crown, without her being
aware that she was allowing herself
to he made an instrument of peril and
an injury to her grandson and to the
dynasty to which she belongs.

All this must he taken into account and
when the recording angel comes to lay
bare the story Of Queen Isabella's life it
will be found that she was more sinned
against than SHINING, and that her moral
indiscretions have been. IN a great meas

Strike Situation.

WILKHSBARRE, Pa, June 24.-The
ers strike began Monday very quietly.
The big towns of the coal region show no
outward evidence that strike is on, but
in the small mining settlements men can
be seen on all corners idling away the
days, waiting for something to turn up.
Interest was centered today in President
Mitchell's address to the public. Groups
of men gathered in the mining towns and
listened while one of their number read
aloud the address of their chief.
The rumors that the coal companies ex-
pected break in the ranks of the men
are not borne out by the actions of the
men. Here and there a few men may be
ready to go back, but they can not be
found. Some of the officials of the COM
pany say they get applications daily from
strikers who want work. THESE men,
they say, are given work about the mines
whenever they have work for them.
As far as is known none of the eompa-
MES in this region are attempting to re-
sumo mining.
The mine workers committee is still
endeaovring to persuade men who re-
manned at the engines and pumps from
continuing work. Very few, however, are
joining the ranks of the strikers. The
union is unable to make any Roadway
with the new men brought here to take
the strikers places.

The fire was most spectacular one.

Seattle, Sept. 15.-A special to the
Times from Kalama, where great loss
of life from forest fires was reported
on Saturday night, says:
News from the fire on Lewis river
yesterday confirmed the reports Of
Saturday night and adds to the losses.
The fallen timber has blocked the
only read leading up the river, SO that
the work of the rescuers is slow.
Twelve men with saws and teams left
Woodland yesterday morning to clear
out the road as fast as possible. A
party of 10 persons with a team was
known to be camping in the timber.
The charred remains of the team and
wagon were found. but the people
had gone and no trace Of them has
been found. A great number Of peo-i
pie were in the timber at and around
Trout lake fishing and hunting, but
no authentic reports have been re-
ceAved from them, and 1t is feared
there has been loss OF life, as 1t is
known that the timber in that district
has been burning since Thursday
night.
