THE ROYAL
BriIliancy Temporarily Forgotten In
Terrible Tragedy.

Brilliancy Temporarily Forgotten In
Terrible Tragedy.
Thetragic event of the afternoon n
the narrow margin by which King AL
fonso and the new queen of Spain es-
capped death has caused the brilliancy
of the royal wedding to be temporarily
forgotten. although it was to have in.
augurated q period OF unprecedented
festivities. Some of the wedding fea.
lures, however, were such as to fix
themselves indelibly upon the minds
of the spectators. One of the prettiest
sights was the tiny Prince Alfonso,
the actual heir to the throne, who ac-
companied the king. The little orphan
of the Princess of Asturias, was clad
in knickerbockers of white silk and
reached only to the kings waist.
Bride Is Late.
King Alfonso reached the altar long
before Princess Victoria. The lengthy
wait which ensued led many to dread
an inopportune event. The king twice
arose on the throne and glzed stead
tasty toward the door. Hardly an
arms length away was the American
special envoy, Frederick w. White
ridge, who. through chance or design,
occupied the most favorable position
of any in the assemblage. With him
sat Gen. Dalstein, the French envoy,
and alongside of him the envoy of
Morocco, a huge Othello swathed in
white, and next a Chinese mandarin.
United States Represented.
Republican simplicity never was
more strikingly exemplified. The Eu-
ropean courts were represented by
princes, most of them heirs to thrones,
while France, the United States and
the South and Central American re-
publics stood out with plain ENJOYS.
AS the ceremony closed King AL
fonso embraced his bride and her
mother. This glimpse of domestic
tenderness as well as the democratic
touch given by the presence of many
poor people in the galleries who were
there by the kings request, made the
scene effective, to which a melancholy
sequel quickly succeeded.

where he was assured that the king
and queen were reasonably tranquil
considering the circumstances.
Indignation Is Great.
The Indignation of the people over
