May inherit CLAIMS
TO HIS OWN THRONE

The present king of Spain is credited
with being a weakly youth; yet it is
by no means impossible that he may
live long enough to actually inherit the
claims to his own throne which have
been made by hostile kinsmen.
Through his late grandfather. Don
Francisco d'Assisi, the cousin and hus-
band of Queen Isabella, Alfonso XIII
may become heir to Don Carlos.
Francisco d'Assisi was not only king
consort, but an infant of Spain in his
own right, and nephew of the original
Don Carlos, who unsucoessfully con-
tested Isabella's sovereignty SO many
years ago.

1t is seldom that vessel under char

than she can make while sailing the
seas, but the Italian ship Cressington,
which completed her cargo in Portland
Saturday night, is the rare exception
to this rule. The vessel had the usual
demuage clause in her charter, and
demurrage clause in her charter, and
has earned for her owners something
over $4,000, which is said to be the
largest amount of demurrage ever paid
to lumber ship in the port. Since she
