Services at ST. Johns.

The services at st. JOINS church in
their general contour were very similar
to those which marked the memorial SER
vice held at that church in honor. of the
late Queen Victoria.
After the benediction the choristers took
up the strains of Jesus Lover of My
Soul" and marched ont the door to the
left, Meanwhile the body bearers had
lifted the casket again and carried 1T
slowly out to the hearse.
At the expression of the family, the
escort from the church to the cemetery
was limited to a single squadron of Uni
ted States cavalry, which passed at first
slowly and then more rapidly between
the lines of troops at present arms"
The remains were taken directly to Rock
Creek cemetery, where they were placed
in the receiving vault, there to remain un-
til they are conveyed on a United States
warship to the home of the late Lord
Pauncefote of Preston.

been decided that there will be nc
change in the Spanish constitution
which provides for his majority at the
age Of sixteen.
While that is the plan the queen regent
would follow, there is some doubt felt
as to the final outcome. Political con.
ditions in Spain are not reassuring.
One Of the most unfortunate symptoms
of public danger is that the liberal and
enlightened statesman Sagasta insists
on retiring. This brings into promi.
nence the ambitious General Weyler.
Added to this. reports have been cir
culated that King Alfonso is not onl,
a weakling physically, but that he has
been manifesting symptoms Of men
tai breakdown. Opposed to this report
of the kings condition Is the statement
Of Bellamy Storer. United States min
lister to Spain. who recently returned
to this country. Mr.. Storer says the
young king is physically and mentally
sound and will take ND the reins OF
government next May.
When n child Alfonso was a weak
ling, and for years it was feared ne
would not live to ascend the throne.
The great care which his mother the
queen regent, bestowed upon him has
resulted in the development of the del
icate child into healthy. well grown
youth, full of life and vlgor. lie Is
above the average height and well
built. He has fresh complexion
slightly bronzed. His eyes are brown
bright and expressive, his hair is curl!
and of auburn hue, and his features
are good, with slightly prominent
lower lip. Altogether he is handsome
and manly young fellow

is that the doughty Netherlanders are
too independent to relish the idea Of

and queens Of Spain have never been

Each day the political sNuatiof al
the national capital grows more aeli-
cate. This is an era Of congressional
revolt, one House is against the lead
ers, the Senate has a revolt against
the oligarchy that has controlled thai
body for years, and the third is di-
rected against Secretary OF War
Root. Politicians claim that the
trouble is that Root has none OF the
attributes that make a man in an Of
fisial place useful to and popular wi n
the people with whom he must deal.
He is an autocrat, an aristocrIt. ar
biirary and dictatorial. He looks
upon Congress as an instrument t"

campaign to show the President that
Congress will not be dictated to.
One senator, a man who is consult

Roots blunders: First, Root is re-
sponsible for the Porto Rico policy OF
