ICAL METHODS.

Young King AIfonso's attitude in connection
viii ,he recent ministerial crisis At Madrid
aStonished people both at home and abroad
by the precocity which it indicated. and has
served to increase both his prestige and public
confidence in his rule For when Senior SaEasta
rendered the resignation Of his Liberal admin

colleagues the youthful monarch. who Will not

the Conservatives into council To intrust
them with the formation of a Cabinet without
a defeat Of the IiberaI-that is To say. the min
IsteriaI-party. in Parliment.
Ever since the time when Spain was endowed
with the constitutional form of government the
invariable practice has been for changes of
Cabinet to be made ut Madrid without any re-
gard to the majority in the Chamber of Depu-
ties. Administrations were dismissed by the
crown. or else resigned OF their own accord.
either when they had ceased to enjoy the con-
fdence and good will of the monarch. or else
when by divisions among themselves they had
rendered further cooperation with one another
in an administration a matter of impossibiIity
When a Cabinet went out of office the SOW
ereign would call of the leaders Of the
opposition to form administration. iudif-

with his friends and adherents. and as
this was accomplished the general election
would take place, the new appointees mancu-
wiring the latter in such fashion as return an
overwhelming ministerial majority. That has
been the invariable custom The parliamentary
maj jority has always been manufactured after
the formation of the Cabinet by artificial means
in order to satisfy the needs of the adminiStra-
ton instead of the latter being organized to
conform with the requirements and views of the
parliamentary majority in existence at the time
of it's being intrusted with office. 1t is this
knowledge and assurance that the parliament !
tary polls would always show overwhelming
majority for the administration that happened
to be in power when the general election took
place that has exercised such Il blightinE in
fluence upon popular government in Spain. for
it has served to keep very large and important
element of the population from casting its bal
lots on the ground that, no matter how one
voted, the government would always win.

There wer. other reasons why the King was
anxious To keep the Liberals. and especially
Senor Sagasy,t, at the helm. He knew that If he
intrusted the formation Of a Cabinet to the
Conservatives il would involve a general cleo
tion. which in the present disturbed condition
of the kingdom is likely to lead TO fresh pOpu-
lar outbreaks and troubles. The last general
election took place only year ago. and gave
rise TO rioting of more or less sanguinary
character throughout the kingdom. and Don
Alfonso was anxious to preserve the country
from being subjected to another such trial He
therefore urged Senior Sagasta to endeavor.

to reconstruct a Liberal Cabinet. and the old
Premier who had been Queen Christmas princi-

the young King had been bound by special ties
of affection and regard since his earliest child
rnonarch's wishes. actually going to the length
of Offering a portfolio to the dissident Conserva-
tive leader Romero RobIedo. The latter's pre-
tensions however were SO extreme. especially
with regard to patronage. that the negotiations
came to naught, and Sagasta, after having ex-
cited the suspicion and ill will of his fol-
lowers by Offering concessions to the extreme
radicals and the denunciations of the latter by
his attempts TO bring Conservatives into his

inspired such universal lack of confidence that
it was defeated last week in the COrteS through
the refusal of a large body of the Liberal party
to vote in its favor. Silyela was thereupon
summoned TO the palace. and has formed
a Conservative administration the first since
King Alfonso has attained his majority. and in
which the three principal members are Senor
Villa Verde who is Minister of Finance Senor
Dato. the Minister of Justice. and General Lii
Mares who was So badly wounded at the battle

4 WOOLLY ELEPHANT.
EXCEPTIONALLY BIG TUSKS OF PREHIS-
TORIC ANIMAL FROM ALASKA.

Seattle papers describe fine pair Of tusks
brought from Alaska, and belonging to that pre-
historic cousin of the elephant the mammoth
Most elephants eVince a preference for warm,
or, at least temperate, climates. Bones of the
now extinct genus represented by the specimens
here mentioned, appear to have haunted colder
regions Remains have been discovered as far
south as the latitude of New-York but the bulk
Of them have come from Siberia and Alaska
For this reason the animal was provided with
a woolly coat quite unlike that of his modern
relative.
To all but very few people the name mann
moth is misleading. 1t is not of English orr
gin. and has no reference to the size of the pre-
historic creature which 1t was bestowed.
