into the streets OF the city and every
thoroughfare was filled with merrymak-
ers, who were apparently in the happiest
humor.
The appearance Of the streets was in
strong contrast to the scene which at the
same time was being enacted within the
palace. Here the festivity gave place to
a drama. The Queen Regent of Spain
was SorrOwfully taking leave of her min
listers and practically rclinqushing to the
hands OF her son the solemn charge which
she has so faithfully fulfilled for the past
l6t2 years.
After signing the decree fixing the cere-
mOnial of taking the oath for May Il,
the Queen Regent announced her desire
to modify this ceremonial. Her Majesty
said that on May II her governmental
functions would cease and that she would
then become Simply the Queen DOWa ger,
jealous for the welfare Of her children,
but standing absolutely aside from pub.
lie affairs. Therefore, Her Majesty eX
planned, She desired to go to the cham
Der accompanied solely by her daughters
as the widow of the late monarch, with
out any ostentation and receiving only
the honors due her personal rank.
Premier SagaSta respectfully replied
that the ministers were unable to acced .
tC Her MajcSty's desire in this matter
because until the King took the oath,
she WAS still the regent and ought to ac-
company her son until the last moment.
The Queen Regent yielded to Premier
Sagas.a's representations and agreed to
accompany the King to the steps of the
throne
