be for the veal or for the of the Iberian
kingdom. In the first place, the administration
feels that the political synpathies Of the King
and of his mother rather with the Liberals
than with the Conservatives. At least, that is
the popular Inference drawn from Don Alfonso's
manifest reluctance to part with Sagasta.
Then too the presence of a Tory Cabinet in
power will have the effect Of removing from
the ultra radical and republican wing of the
Liberal party all that restraint which had been
imposed upon its anti-dynastic aspirations by
the fact that the Liberals in office and
Sagasta at the head Of affairs.
In Catalonia especially the republican move
ment and the home rule agitation certain
TO become more acute than heretofore, since the
people of this. the manufacturing and industrial
province par excellence, realize that they have
less to hope for in the way of concessions from
Silvelas than from Sagasta, a2d that they are
certain to be treated with greater rigor and
held in check with far sterner hand. The
entire anti-clerical element will also he arrayed

.aent which styles itself the National Union,

THE PAPAL FANS.
GIFT TO AMERICA SECURED BY MRS
DREXEL FROM THE VATICAN

After years of diplomatic effort Mrs. Joseph
Drexel, widow of the former partner of ]. Pier
pont Morgan, has at last succeeded in securing
from the Pope the famous eight-foot fans of the
Vatican, and has brought these trophies in tri-
umph to America. They will be presented to
the American people and placed exhibition
in the museum of Pennsylvania University.
Visitors to the Vatican will remember these
gorgeous emblems of imperial authority. No
Papal procession was complete without them
When the Pope was carried into the audience
chamber or took part in any of the festivities
of the church the fans always in evidence
either carried aloft by q favored pair of noble
guardsmen or allowed to rest against the Papal
throne
Years ago Mrs. Drexel saw these fans and
coveted them. Almost any favor asked by this
charitable woman would have been readily
granted by the Pope, but the fans were re-
garded too closely associated with the his
tory of the Church to be allowed to leave the
Vatican. They had been familiar features Of
Roman Catholic celebrations since the days of
Plus TX, and hallowed by too many mem
ories lightly to be relinquished, even at the re-
quest of so good a friend of the Church as Mrs
Drexel.
Mrs. Drexel was disappointed but not beaten
Year after year when visiting Europe she had
audience of the Pope and renewed her plea FOR
the fans. and a least Leo XIII gave a reluctant
consent to the splendid symbols being carried OFF
by Mrs Drexel. In return the Vatican was pre-
sented with another pair of fans, even more
gorgeous than the old ones, although lacking
the historical interest of those secured by Mrs.
Drexel
The fans are splendid creations. The spread
is formed of superb ostrich punes tipped with
peacock feathers; the sticks, or what would
be the sticks in an ordinary fan the Papal
arms, worked crimson field in heavy gold
the crown studded with rubies and emeralds
The embossed poles that support the great fans
when carried aloft are of crimson velvet. At
the base of the fans inscription in Latin
records the fact that the presentation was made
in conlmemoration OF Pope Plus IN having occu-
pied the Papal throne for quarter Of a century.
The fans are at present in the cases in which
they were carefully packed for shipment from
Rome special case will be prepared for their
reception in the museum of the University OF
PENNSYLVANIA, where they will be exhibited side
by side with the priceless fan made by the
Queen of Italy and presented TO Mrs. Drexei-
