IL is evident that the approaching mar
rage between the king of Spain and King
Edwards niece. the Princess Ena of Bat
faction in Protestant England. Against the
alliance itself little or nothing is said but
the suspicion that the conversion OF the
princess to Roman Catholicism is mere
matter of political eXpedience and that the
king has sanctioned it, is provoking un-
favorable comment. From many quarters
has come the question why the church au-
thorities have made no protest in the mat
ter? The bishop of London writes to the
London Times to say that such protests
have been made by those who felt that II
was their responsible duty 10 do so, They
have been made not at all against an al
lance with friendly and honorable nation,
nor against any genuine and convinced ac-
ceptance of the tenets of the Roman Cath

He was waking across the high tres
tie between Fort Lawton and Interhay
about 10 o'clock Wednesday night,
when a sudden gust of wind blowing
up the funnelike guIch at this point
lifted his cap. It began to roll tantaliz-
ingly over the ties, with the private
hot footing after it.
A sudden misstep and the soldier
found himself flying through space,
and he remember5 little save that he
regained consciousness, he knows rot
how long afterward, lying beside the
railway tracks beneath the 80 foot
trestle.
After moments painful delibera-
tiop as to the distance and two or
three iue@ectural attempts to get on
his feet, he sstartsd to crawl to Ft.
Lawton hotel at Interbay, all Of quar-.
ter uf mile distant.
1t was not until o'clock IN the
morning that he reached his destina-
