The Princes Excuse.

The prince gave as excuse for not re-
funding the $4,000 for which he was
sued, the fact that there was due
something TO him by the count in con-
lection with the running of certain
horses. This was. however. ridiculed
In court, the count being able TO show
that he did not owe the prince cent,
and had never in his life owed him
anything save small sums. won at
bczique and invariably paid within the
usual limit of time.
Had Prince Francis HatZfeldt re-
stricted his financial dealings to trades
zen. TO professional money lenders, etc.
his debts would not have affected his
social position either in Germany or in
England. But it is just because of the
fact that a considerable portion of his
creditors are former fellow-officers,
friends, and fellow-clubmen, who as
sisted him in his difficulties, and whom
he then treated shabbily. that his So
cial position in Germany. AID likewise
to a great measure in England, is sc
very far from being a pleasant one. OF

Marie Sophie's New Home.

Queen Marie Sophie of Naples is leav-
ing the second-rate, quiet family hotel.
which has been her home for so many
years at Paris. and when she returns
to the French capital in the fall after
spending the summer as usual at
Boulogne-sur- Mer, and in Bavaria, will
take possession of the very handsome
new mansion which she has just had
tuilt for her according to her own de-
signs, on the Boulevard Maillot, in the
Neuilly quarter of the capital.
1t will be the first time that the
heroine of Gaeta has q home of her
own on the banks of the Seine, and
thereby hangs somewhat pathetic
story
Monarchs who have been deprived of
their thrones are never able to rid
themselves of the firm belief that their
former subjects yearn for their return,
are imbued with sentiments of deep and
loyal affection for their person, and will
one day or another call upon them to
| return and to resume their scepter.
The late King Francis of Naples was
no exception to the rule. He lost his
throne of the Two Sicilies in October
1860. For the following ten years he
made his home at Rome, where he owned
a very handsome palace, and where he
was accorded sovereign honors by Pope
Plus TX. But when the late King Vic
ter Emmanuel, who had deprived him
OF the throne of Naples. seized Rome,
the ex-Queen and ex-King of Naples
left the Eternal City and soon after
ward took up their residence at Paris
in the hotel to which I have made ref
erence above. and where they occupied
1 o suite OF rooms on the fourth floor.

The Widening of Sixteenth st.
To Be of Uniform Width From White
House to Rock Creek.

There can be no doubt that the de.
cision of the District authorities to
maintain width of fifty feet for Six
tenth Street throughout its entire
length is a wise one.
Sixteenth Street was designed, and,
We believe, is destined, to be one of
the principal approaches to the Rock
Creek Park. To have narrowed its
width, above Columbia Road, would
not only have been a blunder at this
time, but would have involved large
expenditure of money at no distant
future. For, rapidly as that section
of the city is developing, it would
have been only a question of a short
time before the city would have had
to acquire abutting property at in
creased cost and many of the inn
provements made in the meantime
would have been lost.
The widening of Columbia Road,
the many changes made in its grade,
the tearing up and laying of side
walks on that important thorough
fare, within the last fifteen years,
must have involved a considerable
outlay. We venture to say that the
same work could be done even today
when the value of property and the
price of labor have both advanced
fully so per cent over what they were,
say, in 1885, for less by one-half OF

That Russia is inclined to abandon the
n1an of refunding the excise duties on
her sugar exports indicates that the
Russian government has come over to
the American view as expounded by
Secretary Gage, who interpreted the
Russian excise refund as equivalent TO
q bounty on export sugar. Thus the
United States courts were right in their
interuretation-the Russian government
being the Judge. All things come to

Mr.. Chamberlain's PoIiCu.
His Program Dictated Not by Choice
But by Necessity.

Opinion both in this country and in
Great Britain has been somewhat
startled at the boldness of the Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain's latest political
maneuver. Mr.. Chamberlain has
been known as an adroit, intrepid,
far-seeing politician. He has been for
years the most aggressive force in
British public life. The world has
come to expect from him ingenious
and daring leadership.
But it has held its breath at the
scope and novelty of his latest pro-
posal to parliament to turn its back
or Cobdenism and all that Cobdenism
implies, and to create by means of
preferential tariffs and trade restric-
lions commercially fenced-in Brit
ish empire.
The drawbacks and difficulties of
the scheme have been literally en-
larged on. To reverse an economic
policy so firmly rooted and so enthu-
siastically accepted by British senti-
ment as Cobdenism involves an eff
fort little short of revolutionary. To
confess the errors of free trade and
to accept the long and bitterly de
nounced decisions of protection re-
quires moral courage to which few
nations have been educated. Te
initiate tariff wars against foreign
countries in order to capture and hold
the trade of her own colonies means
not only a complete surrender OF
Great Britain's traditional attitude
but a radical shifting of the base OF
her industrial and commercial activi
ties.
Yet in the broadest sense Mr.
Chamberlain's project has everything
to justify it. If the British empir'
is to be maintained, closer commercial
and political relations with the colo
MES must be insisted on. The polio,
of Golden, followed fifty year
longer, would see Australia, Canada
and South Africa adrift and indepen
dent. Commercially, they are grow
ing each year more and more ava.
from the mother country, and unles
brought into an imperial zollvereil
their interests viii soon be so divers
and individual as TO render a dissolu
ton of the empire inevitable.
Is Great Britain after the expen
diture Of blood and treasure she ha
lavished in South Africa-prepare
to see that dependency grow, lik
Canada and Australia, into self
conferred, a self-maintaining, and
when the time is ripe-an indepen
dent commonwealth If she is no
she must-as Mr.. Chamberlain sug
throw Cobdenism overboar
and fight with the weapon of prefer
entail tariffs for her imperiled en-
piTe.
