 At the meeting Friday the line of ap- proach toward the settlement of the strike will be an appeal by President Roosevelt to both sides to come to- gethcr as men, and not to allow false pride or feeling of OhStinacy to stand in the way of the termination of the great strike, which is traught with such threats of misery to thousands of people. It is stated by one of the pres ident $ advisers that beyond this the president cannot go.

the queen national misfortuneS with
out and internal disorders within have
made her reign anything but peace
full and happy one. Early in her ex-
perience began the colonial wars of
separation, dragging their bloody his
tory through many years until their
elimination in the war with the Unit
ed States and the loss altogether by
the nation of those possessions which
in former years had given it such
prestige and power throughout the
world.
It is but natural in seeking for
brighter page of Spanish history to
turn to the career of another queen,
Isabella, who with King Ferdinand
saw the kingdom united, the Moors
driven out of Granada and the II years
of wars in various parts of the coun-
try ending in complete triumph for
the royal standards. A new era of
prosperity opened for Spain. Indus
try and commerce fourished; the
steel of Toledo, the silverwork of VAL
ladolid, the silk of Granada, the leath-
er of Cordova and the wool that was
the peninsula's choicest product went
across the seas in ships Of Barcelona.
When Isabella came to the throne the
public revenue was less than 100000
reals ($5o,ooO), but in 1904 it had risen
to 100000 reals.
The Spaniards' conquest of their an
cient foe, the Moors, echoed through
out the world, but the effect thereof
was small as compared to the tre-
mendous expansion which followed
the return of Columbus with a new
world and it's untold wealth to lay at
the feet of the queen, who had been
willing to pawn her jewels in order to
equip the daring navigator for his
expedition of discovery. Wealth
flowed into the Spanish treasury. Adj
venturers went out to America and
in few years returned millionaires.
AS an indication of the lavish wealth
and dazzling profigacy of the period,
let me mention a couple of incidents.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1902-03-06

| A soldier who married the daughter
| of a nobleman in Barcelona gave away
100000 reals IN aims on his we'd
ding day, and another returned Span
lard stood at a window in Madrid and
| emptied two barrels Of coins into the
street below amidst the eager, push
ing crowd waiting to grasp the falling
gold that had been drawn from the
colonies III tie rev world.
But, as some historian has said, the
downfall Of Spain began with her
greatness. Both the greatness and
the ruin were the work of the same
hands. Isabella belonged to modern
history in date, but not in spirit. She
| had no vision Of the dawning of liberty
as the fight of the world. Her eyes
were turned towards the sunset, to
which Spain has been looking ever
since. During the century of her ma
terial greatness and military glory
say from the conquest Of the Moors
of Granada to the destruction of the
Armada-Spain stood forth as the
great champion of slavery for the
minds and bodies of men. In the
words of Burke: "She remained an
o1d-fashioned tyrant, odious, if dread
ed, IN the day of her power, merely
contemplate when that power
passed" Of all the nations at the
opening of modern history, Spain had
the grandest opportunity and most
signally wasted it.
There are Spanish writer's who dare
20 defend the inquisition, yet even the
devout Isabella, who permitted the
awful institution to be planted among
her people, did not view it with entire
equanimity when she lay on her death
bed. II have caused great calamities,"
she said; 81 have depopulated towns
and provinces and kingdoms, for love
of Christ and of His Holy Mother; 5ut
[ have never touched a nlaravedi of
confscated property. / have used the
money in educating and lowering the
children of the conference.-the
truth of which latter plea is ques-
toned by historians.
With Ferdinand and Isabella ends
the history of SPANS Spanish kings.
She was henceforth to be ruled by two
foreign dynasties, the Hapsburgs Of
Austria and the Bourbons of France.
To follow the history Of Spain is to
find the dark thread of successive mis-
fortunes and gradual decline running
through it all. No bright star of hope
is seen to rise at any point of her ca
reer, for the persistent clinging to the
despotic spirit of the past has thus
far shut out the light, which if seen
and followed would lead perhaps to
the writing of new and brighter pages
in the history of picturesque old
Spain. WILLIS s. EDISON.

to Don Carlos the opportunity for
which he has been waiting for years
and secure to him the kingdom which
he claims as a rightful heritage. 1t
may cost Spain terrible and bloody
civil war, reaping of the whirlwind
Of internal revolution, as the result
of the sowing the wind of relentless
armies and the inquisition of the past
centuries before she can emerge
from the darkness of the past
into the light and blessing of living
Christianity. But if Alfonso does lose
his throne and kingdom, he has
bright side of his life to turn to.
Alfonso has had wise and faithful
and good mother, a heritage which is
of priceless worth. If history's pages
afford him little encouragement and
inspiration for the tasks which lie be-
fore him, the mother love and care
which he has felt may nerve him to
endure the test of kingship and en-
able him to guide the ship of state
through the whirlpool and rapids of
present misfortune into the smoother
waters of a new national life. Spain
in the past has set her face steadfast-
" against the advance of modern civ
ilization and the rights of the common
people, but once turned towards the
light, the last vestige of the spirit Of
the inquisition and the glory of
despotic power will be swept away and
a new Spain will rear itself upon the
sad ruins of the old.
Over IS years ago, six months be-
fore the present king, Alfonso Kill,
was born, Alfonso XII. died, leaving
his fair widow to face the heavy bur-
dens of the restoration. Uncertainty
marked the succession to the throne
until the birth of the son, and the
dowager queen was then declared the
regent during the minority of the
new king, Alfonso XIII. Marie Chris
tine Of Hapsburg Lorraine, archduch-
ess of Austria, was the second wife of
Alfonso XII, their marriage occur
ring in 1879, five years after he had
been restored to the throne of Spain.
He had only begun to grapple with the
problems Of the restoration when the
new queen, who was passionately in
love with her husband and sought in
every way TO be a help to him, took her
place at his side. Not only did the
restored dynasty have to make terms
and compacts with the revolutionary
element, but it also pledged itself to
guarantee the peace and prosperity of
the kingdom. When in 1885 King Al
fonso died. the faithful queen found
support in the strong arm Of the
statesman, Don Antonio Canovas del
Castillo to whom was due the restora-
ton of political and social order.

THREE LIVES LOST IN FLOOD.
Fatalities Reported on Account OF
High Water in Southern
States.

Augusta, Ga, March 4.-Threc lives
were lost here in the flood which
swept down the Savannah river Sat-
urday and Sunday. Burt Lloyd, q
white man, fell from freight car on
a railway bridge and was swept away.
An unknown negro was carried Off
the trestle and the receding waters
Monday disclosed the body of me-
gro boy near the foot of Mills street.
The water has declined three feet
from its highest mark.
Atlanta, Ga, March 4.-Train serv-
ice has been resumed on most of the
lines entering Atlanta, which were
crippled during the last few days on
account of high water. The South
ern railway is still using the tracks
OF, the Central between Atlanta and
Macon for through trains, but the
delay is not serious.
Pittsburg, Pa, March 4.-The great
food is gone and the turbulent wa
tiers of the Allegheny, Monongahela
and Ohio rivers are again within
their natural channels. All danger is
over and the districts affected by the
high water are regaining their nor
NAL conditions.
Harrisburg, Pa, March 4.-The Sus-
|. quehanna river has been gradually
falling since midnight and no further
damage is anticipated in this To-
cality.
New York, March 4.-The great
flood that has inundated large part
of the mill section of Paterson, n.
j., subsidized somewhat during the
night and it is believed the worst is
over. The damage was very great.
1t is estimated that the loss wrought
by the flood is as large as that by
the fire, while it is said there is lit
tie or no insurance to cover it. Many
more families have been rendered
homeless by the flood than were
made SO by the fire, and the relief
committee, whose labors were becom-
ing lighter daily, is now hard at work
seeking to assist those who have lost
everything by the high water.
The East Jersey Water company is
by far the worst sufferer from the
flood. The entire filtration plant Of
the company, the construction of
which was almost complete is wiped
out. The contract price for the
work was $SO0,O00, all of which is lost
to the company. In addition to this
much of the intake of the company is
destroyed, and the probabilities are
that in all the loss to the company
will amount to million and half
dollars.
A bridge at Dundee island near
Passaic, N. j., was washed away Sum
day night. 1t was reported that six
persons who were on the bridge were
drowned, but their names could not
be learned. Efforts Monday to
identify the persons in this accident
were without result.
Montpelier, VT, March "A tre-
mendous freshet in the Winooski
river has caused thousands of dol
lars of damage to city and railroad
private property in this city and Vi
cinity.
Cincinnati, March 4.-The fears of
a disastrous flood here have been
dispelled by the timely drop in tenn
perature which checked the inflowing
streams.

SlWEZlZ full king of Spain assum-

ment on the nth of May
next. His 16 years of life have seen
his nation continue the making of
history which is neither gratifying to
a patriotic heart nor inspiring to the
hope Of brighter outlook in the fu-
ture. While the preparations are go
ing forward for the coronation next
spring, industrial disturbances and
political strife trouble the country,
and at Barcelona and other industrial
centers, strikers, restless under OPP
preston and suffering from the gen.
eral financial and industrial depres-
sion, are defying the law and boldly
fighting the soldiers summoned to
hold them in check. An effort will be
made to impart to the coronation cere-
monies something of that imposing
splendor and grandeur which marked
the court life of the nation in the DAYS
of it's glittering wealth and world
wide despotic power, but what can
hide from view the departing glory of
the Spanish nation, or stop the smart
ing of the latest wound suffered in the
loss of it's largest island colonies?
Alfonso XIII, with the mold of de-
cay of the centuries about him and
the heavy burdens of state resting
upon his youthful and untried shout
ders, has no easy or hopeful task be-
fore him, and, as we have said, the
placing of the crown upon his fair
young head seems pathetic to con-
template and tragic in it's possibili-
ties.
But no man knoweth what a day
may bring forth. As some bright wit

sure of only two things, death and
taxes And in the case of Alfonso
Kill, the present disturbances in
Spain may result in an upheaval which
