 Prince Bernard of Saxe-M -Mefningen's general orders just issued are therefore
 the result of this experience. and is re-
 garded by military circles in Europe as iinaugurating the new attitude of the German war department in connection
 with the troublesome army canteen
 question.
 The royal house of Bourbon is forever
 involving itself in lawsuits. mostly with
 relatives. which have the result of the
 washing of soiled royal linen in public
 and the gradual destruction of the prestige of what has been in times gone | by the most illustrious of the sovereign
 families of the old world. At present
 the courts at Nice are engaged in deal | ing with a case resulting from the at | temptS of the sons of the late Princess Januaria Bourbon to upset her will and | to invalidate the bequest by means of which she left the greater part of her . fortune to her great-grandson.
 The princess in question was the sis | ter of Dom Pedro, the last emperor of
 Brazil, and until Dom Pedro's marriage and the birth of his eldest daughter she
 was crown princess of Brazil and heir apparent to the Brazilian throne. She
 married old Prince Louis, Count Aqull9, brother of King Ferdinand II. of
 Naples, and the question now before the
 courts is as to whether she became an
 Italian by this union or whether she remained a Brazilian.
 | She herself seems to have taken the latter view, for when she made her will l she invoked the services of both the Brazilian consul at Nice, where sf.e was residing at the time, and of the Brazilian minister plenipotentiary at i Paris. Her two sons, however. claimed that the Brazilian envoy and consul had
 no jurisdiction in the matter, since 1 their mother by her marriage had be- come an Italian; that the services of | the Italian ambassador and consul
 should have been invoked. and that
 owing to her failure to do so, the will must be considered invalid and her for
 tune consequently must be shared in bequests being of no account.
 | There is a certain amount of Ameri- can interest in this contest, for the elder of the two sons, who is endeaVor- ing to upset his mothers will in favor lof his own grandson, married in this country a Miss Hamel of New York,
 who has been created by the king of Italy Countess di Rocca Guiglielmo. She is, however, conceded the courtesy title of Princess of Bourbon" which is likewise accorded to her children. These are two in number-one of them,
 Marie by name, is married to an Eng
 lishman of the name of Freeman; the
 other a son, who bears the name of
 Louis and who is an officer of cavalry in the Italian army. is married to Mile. Valbranca, daughter of the Portuguese consul general at Rome. It is to their child, who is, strictly speaking, Count ROcca Guiglielmo. to whom the old Princess Januaria bequeathed the
 major portion of her fortune.
 l may add that the plaintiffs in the . suit-that is to say, the sons of old Princess Januaria-made their peace
 with the Italian crown quite a number
 of years ago. as did also their father who used to go by the title of Count di , Aquila. In fact, the old count died as : admiral of the Italian navy. King !, Humbert having granted to him the { same rank which he held in the Neapo- Titan navy prior to 1860.
 I need hardly say that the other
 members of the house of Bourbon l namely. those of the Parma and Neapoliton branches, are intensely bit
