SELECTING A KINGS WIFE.
Ministers Want Alfonso XIII to Marry
Princess Louise.

Spanish ministers are very anxious that
their young King should marry and ac-
cording to report have selected wife for
him in the person of Princess Louise Of
Orleans The Princess is older than her
reputed future lord, but to Spanish diplo-
mats she seems the most suitable of
available European princesses as a bride
for young Alfonso. She is more popular
with the Spanish people, whose views
have to be considered rather carefully
now, than any of the French and Austri-
an princesses whose names have been
mentioned in this connection from time
to time.
The Princess is the youngest daughter
of the Count and Countess of Paris and
was born at Cannes. In this she is UNI

ARM AGAINST MAD MULLAH.
Indian Troops Are to Be Sent to Soma
li1and by Great Britain.

1Ad1an troops Are to be Sent to Som a
Inland by Great Britain.
The British government has decided to
dispatch Indian troops to SOmaliland to
deal with the mad mullah. The British
are meeting in Somaliland, on the Gulf
of Alden, the same sort of fanatical op-
position overcome by Kitchener in the
Soudan. They are meeting counterpart
of the Mad Mullah of 1897 in a Somali
chief and are to have, probably, a cam
paign not unlike that in the Swat valley
of northern India in June, 1891
In the Swat uprising the Mohamme-
dan natives were led in religious cru
SADIE against the British by a native
priest who was SO wild in his fury as to
gain from British and natives the title of
Mad. He gathered force 10000 strong,
attacked the British garrisons, and kept
the whole valley in an uproar for three
months. Then all his lieutenants and
soldiers submitted to the British.
Later, in 1898, the Mad Mullah or
ganized another expedition, against the
natives who had failed to support him
in the crusade of 1897. He was defeat
ed and finally was driven out of the coun-
try by the Swat tribes
In the Somali case the Italians and
French as well as the British, are in
volved, as the Mullah breaches against
all Christians or against European in
f1uence, and his rebellion is directed
against the railroads and other improve
ments in progress in Somaliland and East
Africa.

Over National News Company.

Corporation Wins Great Victory
Over National News Company.
An important principle of law was es.
tablished when Judges Jenkins, Gross
cup, Baker and Bum of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals in Chi
cago handed down an opinion to the eff
feet that the Western Union Telegraph
Company has a right of property in the
news which it gathers and that such right
does not cease when the news is published
on the tickers rented to its patrons. In
laying down this new principle the Court
of Appeals affirms two decisions of the
lower court and forever cnjoins the Ma
tional Telegraph News Company, the
Illinois Commission Company and other
defendants from using the quotations in
question. The court holds in brief that,
while the printed matter on the tape OF
the telegraph company is i'll no sense
copyrightable, yet the business in cues
ton involves the use of property. and its
service is not to be outlawed. The de-
cision is made to apply also in the case
in which the Illinois Commission Com
pany is the defendant.
