Relations
in Her

ly, taetful way brought the Queen to
her senses. The outcome was that
things were smoothed over and Presi-
dent Loubet eventually called on her
after she had been for ten days IN
Paris.
Immediately afterward she left the
French capital, it is understood. in def
erence to the peremptory commands of
her husband, who would not hear of her
remaining in Paris to be present at the
celebration which the royalists had
planned to commemorate the anniyer-
sary of her departure for Portugal in
1885, a celebration which, had it been
held, would have developed into just as
much of royalist manifestation against
the government of the republic as the
grand entertainment given by her father.
the Count de Paris. at the Galiera pal
ace. on the eve of her departure for
Lisbon, and which brought about his ex-
lie from France, where his presence had
until that time been tolerated by the
republic in spite of his efforts TO over
turn 1t.

such face-about are overwhelming.
If the British Empire is TO be held
intact, its distant members must be
welded into unity Australia, South
Africa, and Canada cannot be per-
mitted to go their own way indus
tlially and commercially without ar
laying their interests against those of
the mother country, and fostering a
spirit of aloofness and separation
Whatever loss of prestige British
industry may suffer through con
fession of the need of preferential
tariffs in the colonies, politically the
empire as whole will be quickly and
vastly benefited An imperial zoll-
verein certainly is the cleverest posi-
bic device for mfusing new force and
energy into the present torpid and
languishing imperial system.

QUESTION OF PROMOTION
IN THE MARINE CORPS
Raised by Impending Retirement of
Major General Haywood.

Maj. Gen. Charles Haywood, comman-
dant of the Marine Corps. will retire
from active service next October. This
fact invites the question as to whether
the President will extend the same rec
ignition in the matter of promotion to
Marine Corps officers who have served
in the civil war as to army and naval
officers of similar standing.
II he should decide to do so, there
are several colonies who would be eli
gibIe for promotion to the commander
ship of the-corps and retirement short
~ afterward. Coils. James Forney. P. C.
Pope. r l. Meade. H. c. Cochrane. F.
H Harrington, and George c. Reid. ad-
jutant and Inspector, are eligible for
such promotion.
1t is thought not unlikely that all
these officers viii be advanced and re-
tired, in which event Col. George Z. Ell
liott, commanding the Marine Barracks
in Washington viii be next in rank for
the position of COMMUNICATIVE chief.

Refused to See Loubet.

On arriving at Paris this time, Queen
Marie Amelie apparently considered it
TO be her duty to mark her disapproval
of the conduct of the government, espe-
cially in the matter of the treatment of
the unauthorized religious orders. and
when President Loubet sent to inquire
when 1t would be convenient to her to
receive his visit she CURLY responded
that she did not wish to see him, al
though he is in no sense responsible for
the policy of the administration with
regard to the religious orders, his own
youngest son having been. brought up by
him as a strict Catholic and having
just made his premiere communion" at
Paris
While the Queen thus refused to re-
ceive the President of the republic, she
surrounded herself with all the Royal
ist adherents of her brother, the exiled
pretender, and with those who have seiZ-
ed upon the ecclesiastical policy of the
present cabinet as a pretext for attack
ing the republic, her attitude in the mat
ter serving TO encourage the foes of the
government to such an extent that the
French authorities would have had am
pie cause for requesting her to leave
the country.

An Unfortunate Trip.

Queen Marie Amelie's whole trip
seems, indeed, to have been unfortu-
nate. For although she visited Palermo
and Naples with her two sons on board
her yacht. yet she made no attempt to
see her relatives at Rome. her husband
being a first cousin of King Victor En-
manuel and a nephew of the widowed
Queen Marguerite, while the Dowager
Empress of Portugal is by birth an Ital-
ian royal princess, and still figures as
such on the Italian civil list.
OF course, the Queen kept away from
Rome for fear of offending the Pope. al
though when the Queen Dowager of Por
tugal was last at the Quirinai. as the
guest of the King and Queen of Italy,
the Holy Father expressed his readiness
to receive her If she would drive TO the
Vatican from the Portuguese legation ae-
credited TO the Holy Seat. instead of d.
rect from the Quirinal. Queen Pia de-
clined to submit to any such stipula-
tions, and consequently the interview
between herself and the Pontif did not
take place.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-06-05

her departure, so as TO avoid having to
salute her flag.
This is calculated to still further en-
bitter the relations between Queen Ma
RE Amelie and the reigning house OF
Italy, which has never forgotten that
when the requiem mass was held for
King Humbert in the Italian church at
Lisbon at the time of his assassination
"a ceremony attended by King Carlos,
his mother, and his brother-Queen
Marie Amelie, although staying at Gintra
at the time, and in perfect health. did
not take the trouble to run down %
Lisbon, In order to attend it.
Lest l should be accused of exaggerat-
ing the Importance of Queen Marie
Amelie's shortcomings in connection
with the Italian court and the French
government, may mention that the en-
tire matter has formed the subject of a
very angry debate in the house of peers
at Lisbon, where the cabinet was called
the other day severely to account for
having permitted the Queen to compro-
mise the relations of Portugal with two
such friendly powers as France and Italy.

A Queen Causes Trouble.

The recent visit OF Queen Marie
Amelie of Portugal to Paris seems TO
nave given rise to no end of disturbance,
and TO have strained the relations be-
tween the Portuguese government, and
that OF France to such a point that they
were at one moment on the verge of a
rupture which was only averted by the
tact and craftsmanship of NJ Delcasse.
the French minister of foreign affairs,
and through the Intervention of the
Marquis de Several. the Portuguese en-
voy in London, and the close friend of
both King Edward and King Carlos. who
was dispatched in hot haste by the
latter to Paris.
It seems that Queen Marie Amelie, who
is the sister of the Duke of Orleans, the
Royalist pretender, saw fit to openly
manifest on this recent visit to Paris
her sympathies with the adversaries of
the government, and to identify herself
with the French Royalist party although
on the occasion of her former stays there
she had been overwhelmed with cour-
tesies by the French government, whose
guest her husband was for several weeks
last fall

Democrats See a Rainbow.

The Democrats are feeling somewhat
elated over the result OF the recent judi
cial election in Illinois, and especially
in Chicago. where fourteen out of eight
cen of their candidates for the bench
were chosen by majorities ranging from
5000 to 10000. They also made some
gains in the State. Following closely
upon the result of the mayoralty cleo
ton, when the Hon. Carter Harrison
was chosen for a fourth term. they are
led to believe that Chicago should
henceforth be recognized Democrat
ic city. Judicial elections, as a rule, how
ever. do not afford reliable basis for
determining results in a State or ma
tional contest The vote is usually small
by comparison. and party lines are gen.
orally not closely drawn, and this was
true to large extent III the recent cleo
ton Of judges in Chicago.
Perhaps the most noteworthy feature
Of the election was the defeat of Judge
Hanecy, the jurist who went TO much
unnecessary trouble to stop recount
of the ballots in the I.orimer- Durburrow
Congressional election. evidently fearing
that a recount might prevent MIR. Lori
mer from retaining his seat in the
House His injunction was dismissed,
however, and another judge ordered
recount, which. instead OF decreasing
Lorimer's majority, Increased it, and the
joke was on Hanecy.
Lorimer. the Republican boss" new
ertheless. in appreciation OF Judge
Hanecy's efforts in his behalf, worked
diligently for his reelection, but the
result was overwhelming defeat. Only
three candidates received less votes than
did Judge Hanecy, although strangely
enough, through the influence of Lori
mer some strong Democratic wards re-
turned majorities for him. The Demo-
Gratis insist upon calling the result {:
victory" and the Republicans are
somewhat disappointed over the result.

INVESTIGATING COLLISION
OF SAGINAW AND HAMILTON

The Investigation ordered by Superyis-
ing Inspector Uhler into the collision
between the steamships Saginaw and the
Hamilton. resulting in tie loss of the
latter vessel and about twenty lives, has
been delayed by the sickness OF Captain
Tunnel. of the Saginaw.
The captain was injured in the acct
dent, and has been suffering from his
hurts and nerves so much that his ply
sicians have declared it impossible for
him to stand the strain of an examina-
ton. Mr.. Uhler is. however, anxious TO
get the investigation started. and he has
today requested a surgeon of the Marine
Hospital Service to call upon Captain
Tunnel in Philadelphia and report as
to whether his nervous condition is
really such as to warrant any further
delay in securing his deposition.

A Unique" Old Lady.
Busy Over Her Knitting and Crochet,
She Fails to Apologize.

A week ago today we ventured to
draw the attention of the "Star" to
the fact that, in January last, it did
us the honor to msinuate that we were
engaged in matchmaking operations.
The Matchmaking operations, from the
STARS" point of view, consisted in
our exposing the irregularities" in
the Postotfice Department. That gave
the Star jolt-it may even be said
to have caused it great uneasiness, for
didn't 1t threaten readjustment Of
Its frugal, thrifty and eminently
profitable relations to Mr.. Machen's
bureau as landlord and tenant? And
wasn't the vexation of its noble spirit,
always enlisted IN deeds of Christian
charity, accurately reflected in the
flood of billingsgate which it turned
loose on us, as soon as it recovered its
voice and was able to squeal?
We thought, in view Of recent oc-
cprrenees, which even the "Star" was
compelled TO take note of, that we
were entitled TO an apology. Mind
full of the tender sex of our contem-
porary, we did not insist upon an
"amende honorable;;" we simply sug-
gested it. And after waiting a week
we confess to our disappointment at
not finding the apology to which we
still think we are entitled.
"The position of the STAR" says
our contemporary in one of its recent
issues, SIS unique" We should say
it was. There isn't another old lady
IN the land who over her knitting and
her innocent prattle about ''the cost
of Kerosene" about 'sspeedometers,"
about the statistics of suicide" about
''the New York tenderloin," about
'Richard Garfield, Gambler" about
Governor Pennypacker and the Sui
tan of Morocco, about Joe Chamber
lain and the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst,
about Booker Washington, and-but
We cannot enumerate all the things
the old lady has prattled about for
the last week-there isn't another old
lady in the land, we repeat, who
wouldn't have laid aside the darning
of socks long enough TO mend her own
reputation by frank and "lady-like"
apology.
But We shall continue TO cultivate
the virtues of patience and forbear-
ance. We can wait. We are waiting
even now.

Offended Italy's Ruler.

That Queen Marie AmeIie's conduct
gave great offense to the King and
Queen of Italy is shown by the fact that
whereas at Palermo and at Naples she
had been treated with the utmost con-
sideration by the authorities and had
been overwhelmed with official atten-
tions. no notice whatsoever was taken Of
her when she subsequently reached Leg
horn on board her yacht, the govern

been in port left few hours before her
arrival. and returned Immediately after

The British ZollVeTein.
Its Formation a Political, Not an
Economical, Necessity.

Much American criticism of the
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain's scheme
for an imperial British zollyerein has
been aimed at demonstrating its eco
nomical impractieability. Great Brit
ain, remonstrants on this side OF the
water have urged, will only weaken
her producing power by re-enacting
"corn laws" for the benefit of the col
onies. With higher prices for food
the cost oe manufacturing will rise,
and English mill products will find it
more difficult than ever to hold the
worlds markets against the competi-
ton Of formidable industrial rivals
like the United States and Germany.
In other words the English manu-
facturers must look for consumers
under the zollverein scheme to the
British colonies alone, these colo
MES, in return for the preference
given their food products in the ports
OF Great Britain, erecting tariff bar
riers in turn against all non-Britisk
manufactures.
From an economical point of view
English interests may suffer under an
imperial protective system. Great
Britain, in entering into a Gus
toms union with Canada, New Yea
land, Australia, India, and the Cape,
must surrender that primacy as a
manufacturing nation of which she
has fondiy boosted since Cobden's
time She must abandon the role Of
exploitation and aggression which she
has played on the worlds stage for a
century past, and content herself
hereafter with fighting to hold the
markets she has already pre-empted.
She must change her whole industrial
policy from offense to defense.
Yet politically the advantages Of
