Tt is not generally known that on
ascending the throne King Edward
became guardian of his grandchil-
dren, the parents rights being super
seeded. This arrangement was estab-
lished by law nearly 200 years ago,

of quarreling with their sons. No
member of the royal family may
marry without the kings consent;
otherwise the marriage is void.

much popular indignation here over
the formation of a pool among the
bakers of this city to raise the price
of bread. This trade is in the hands
of half a dozen rich Spaniards from
old Spain who have signed an agree
ment to charge prices mutually
agreed on and not in any way to en-
ter into competition, as they have
done hitherto. The agreement is for
two years. The daily papers point
out that this agreement is wholly
unjustified, as the price of wheat
has not altered in two years, while
the taxes are the same. The cost of
living for poor people and the lower
middle class has been increasing
steadily and meat has been rising
two years past.
