KING ALFONSO IN PARIS.
Brilliant Spectacle to Welcome

Paris, May 3O.-The royal train bringing King

in the full uniform of a Spanish captain general.
He entered a state coach with NJ. Loubet and
was escorted by a regiment of cuirassiers to the
DOrsay Palace, where sumptuous apartments
had been prepared for him.
The drive through the Avenue du Bots de
BouIogne and the Champs EIysee presented a
brilliant spectacle Double lines OF troops were
stretched from end to end of the avenues, hold

Later the King exchanged visits with Presi-

Tonight NJ Loubet gave gala dinner at the

course of the dinner the King and the President
exchanged toasts.
The President gave expression to the warm
sympathy existing between the two nations, say

at Paris and Madrid to follow nature The

given him showed the perfect accord existing
between France and Spain. which would serve

AFTER THE VICTORY

Philadelphia is rubbing its eyes in amazement.
It's staid and peaceful citizens can scarcely real
ize that their fight against machine spoliation
has been won The completeness Of the victory
is almost staggering. Less than two weeks ago
the city seemed hopelessly IN the grip Of tho
bosses who controlled its municipal Councils
These bosses had "railroaded" through a gas
grab ordinance which virtually took 100000
900 from the taxpayers and gave it TO the United
Gas Improvement Company This shameless
sel-out commanded over a four-fifths vote in
each branch Of the city legislature, and the ma
chine leaders who had planned the raid on the
treasury boldly announced that if the Mayor
vetoed the ordinance they would force its pas
sage over his veto. Ten days ago these bosses
Iaughed contempuously at the publics protest
and cynlcally declared, We are the people -
Philadelphia, patient and long suffering, was

AN OCEAN WATERLOO.

The battle of Corea Strait is called an ocean
Waterloo. The phrase will serve and may stick
though it is not strictly accurate Waterloo
that worlds earthquake" was not in itself by
any means the greatest Of battles. In the num-
bers enga ged and in the roll Of losses it was far
surpassed by other Napoleonic battles, and has
been surpassed by others since In strategy it
was by no means extraordinary, and in lighting
valor it was no more notable than score of
others which rise readily to remembrance It's
supreme greatness really lay in the fact that it
marked the end Of the greatest military career
of modern times and one of the greatest half
dozen in the history Of the world The battle
of Corea Strait on the other hand, was great in
numbers, losses and other respects In which
Waterloo was not notably great, and it may not
prove to be great in the respect which gave
Waterloo its pre-eminence. Nevertheless since
the battle Of ninety years ago has long been
Synonymous with colossal military achievement,
especially with overwhelming defeat, this may
we'll be called an ocean Waterloo
In one particular. however, the battle of Corea
Strait is Differentiated from Waterloo and from
almost every other great battle-that is. in the
tremendous disparity between the losses of the
vanquished and Of the victors. Practically, the
Russians lost everything and the Japanese moth
ing. We must go back more than century, to
the battle of the Nile, for comparable results in
comparable conditions; for while at Manila and
at Santiago our losses were practically nothing
and the Spanish losses everything it must be
membered that our preponderance of strength
in each case was overwhelming. But Togo
like Nelson at the Nile-has won this astound-
ing victory over a feet at least nominally and
in the first instance actually superior in strength
to his own.
There is one other point TO be noted in which
this battle resembled Waterloo-namely. in its
complete destruction of the fighting power of
the vanquished party. After Waterloo there was
no possibility of placing another effective French
army in the field until after a considerable
period. Bor the time the French army was
