QUEEN REGENT
SOON TO RETIRE
LITTLE KING cO7ES OF AGE IN
A MONTH
PENSION SHE WILL GET
A Little rlore Than S31, 600 Com
ing to Her---f1er Gift to
the Nation.

Madrid, April 12.-As the young
King Of Spain will become of age in a
little more than a month, people are
talking about the prospects and for
tune of Queen Christina, the regent.
When Marie Christina, a princess i'm
perial and archduchess of Austria, be-
came the bride of Alfonso XII. of
Spain, she brought very little dover
indeed to her husband Nothing was
settled upon her except a pension OF
$50, 900 in the event that she should
become the widow of Alfonso XII.
AS everybody knows, when she did
become a widow, the Queen declined
to receive the pension during the MI
nority of the successor of Alfonso XII.
For the first time this year the mi-u
lister of finance, in his estimate OF
the budget for 1902, has reminded the
nation that the Queen will have to re-
ceive the part of this pension CORES
ponding to the period extending from
May II to December 81, namely
little more than $31, 200. Singularly
enough, the future Queen Dowager
Christian will receive annually le. a
than her own daughter, the Princess
of Asturlas, who gets 800, 600 year
and less than her mother in law, ex-
Queen Isabella IL, who gets $3.50, GOO.
The Kings grand father, Don Fran
CISCO de Amsie, husband of Queen
Isabella, gets $50, 900, and the Infanta
Isabel, aunt of the young King,
$50, 900 a year. In fact, in the Span
ish royal family at the present time
only the Kings maiden sister, Prin-
cess Maria Teresa, and his aunts,
Dona Paz and Dona Eulalia, received
from the Spanish budget less than the
regent herself will receive when she
hands over the reins of government to
her son. 1t is not generally known
abroad that since the war with Amer
lea the Queen regent has managed to
make gift to the nation Of 5000, 900 a
year out of the 81, 400, 900 that forms
the civil list OF the crown. Fortu-
nately the Queen regent has her own
little private property in the summer
palace of Miramar, in San Sebastian,
which she built as soon as she came
into little money left to her by one
of her Austrian uncles. There, if AL
fonso XIII. marries early, and his
mother prefers to be independent, she
may live quietly, facing the sea she
loves SO we'll.

AMALGAMATED MEETING

Wheeling, W. Va, April 12.-Dur-
ing the coming week Wheeling will
lntertaln the annual convention of the
Amalgamated Association OF Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, one Of the
largest and most influential labor or
ganiaztions in America. There are
several things which promise to give
unusual importance to the proceedings
of the coming convention. There
will be some opposition to the ad-
mission of delegates from some of the
new lodges, owing to the fact that the
scale rates are not being paid in the
mills where they were formed. II the
lodges organized in the east are given
representation it is said they will be
admitted in violation of the contsitu-
ton, and this will result in the con-
tinuation of the present adminlstra-
tion.
The rival organization to the Anal
gamated Association, recently formed
at Chicago, Milwaukee and other
points under the name of the Steel
Workers Association Of America, will
probably receive some attention. Not
withstanding the declarations OF
friendship made by the new organiza-
ton. it is the general belief that its
success cannot but be inimical to the
inter ests of the Amalgamated Associa-
ticn.
From the present outlook it is re-
garded as unlikely that any demand
will bv made for a chnage in the base
and caro- rates in the bar iron scale.
Unless the manufacturers should ask
for lower rates, which thus far has no
been in any manner, intimated this
means that little difficulty will be ex-
perienoed in reaching an agreement.
While there are some lodges that have
suggested demand for an increase,
it is believed that they form q small
minority. The present base is 30 on
one cent card, remaining at that
basement it reaches 1.S, when it ad-
vancems cents the ton for boiling
The present wage rate is S.. 70 ton.

Save the short telegram Of Thurs
day from Consul Malmros, at Colon,
the state department is without ad-

the fact that Mr.. Malmros' cable
gram did not mention the killing Of
an American citizen by the insur-
gents has made the officials doubt the
statement that the person killed was
really an American, for they argue
that she consul would have surely
mentioned fact so important. If it
turns out, however, that an American
has been killed by the insurgents as
reported, then the state department
will deal more sternly with the situa-
tion on the is thmus than it has here
