ALPHoNso HAS A CAMEL
The Animal Is a Souvenir of the
Kings Journey to the
Canary Isles.

Madrid.-All the good things are
coming Alfonso's way, and though his
thoughts and inclinations were to-
ward the Isle of Wight, where Prin-
cess Ena is staying with her royal
mamma, he went to the Canary is
lands.
Just how the visit was appreciated
may be understood by the gifts which
were literally showered upon him.
OF these the camel was rather the
most imposing.
He arrived at Cadiz at eight o'clock
in the morning. Great quantities of
fruit and flowers were showered upon
him.
He experienced very rough weather
on the voyage back. One seaman was
badly injured and was presented with
EGO by the king.
King Alfonso was met at Cadiz by
Senior Moret, the premier; Prince Car
los, of the Asturias. and the Infanta
Teresa. They went on board the gun
boat and travelled up the Guadalquiver
to Seville.
Here an enormous crowd had gath
cred to meet them, in spite of the
stormy weather. The royal party was
cheered enthusiastically, and many
cheers we're given for Princess Ena.
The Liberal club presented the king
with a gigantic corbeille of flowers,
composed of 10000 red and yellow
pinks tied with ribbons in the British
and Spanish national colors The
king Immediately sent this magnin-
cent floral gift to the Isle Of Wight
for Princess Ena, declaring he'd never
seen such superb flowers.

MOTHER OF THE MIKADo.
Was Not the Wife Of His Father, EN-
peror Komei, But Concubine
Who Still Lives.

The japanese emperor is not, as
often stated, the son of the dowager
empress who died in 1897, writes Mary
Crawford Fraser in Worlds Work.
His mother. who still lives, was the
concubine of Emperor Komei The pc
culiar constitution of the Japanese
family gives very little prominence
to the maternal rights Of woman
who occupies this subordinate position.
Her child, although he may be tho
heir of all his fathers honors, does
not reflect his glory upon her. All his
filial love and respect must go to the
wife. whom he is taught to regard as
his true mother. In old times the veri-
table mother saw little of her child,
as it was feared that the strong natural
bond between them might interfere
with his affection and respect for the
lady who was sole mistress Of the
house. She in her turn was expected
to love and cherish all her husbands
children with equal warmth. Japan
has asked much of its women and has
not asked in vain. High or low, gen
tie or simple, the japanese wife is
above reproach, the incarnation o.
faithfulness and devotion-magnif-
cent in her loyalty to the duties Of her

GRAVE SCANDAL DISCLOSED
italian Government Robbed of Mil
lions Through Worthless
Navy Supplies.

Rome.-The parliamentary commits
sion charged with an investigation OF
the management OF the Italian navy
has Just made its report TO parliament,
and sensation was caused all over
Italy by the disclosures made. Accord
ing to the report, more than half of
the warships are unfit for use, among
them several battleships Of the first
class.
A firm which furnished over $6,000,-
900 worth of ammunition for the navy
is accused in the report of having sup
piled the navy with absolutely worth
less shells at an exorbitant price.
Millions of dollars have been paid by
the government fer coal which was
never furnished Ia the quantity con-
tracted for, and even the guns pur-
chased by the navy at an enormous
cost are reported as deficient in tech
nical construction.
The sensation created by the report
throughout Italy is something akin to a
panic. The shares of the steel works at
Terni have already lost 500 points in the
markets, and the same is the case with
most of the Italian stocks and bonds.
The king is in a very indignant mood
because of the extraordinary revela-
tions, and the newspapers Of the penin-
sula are loud in their denunciation of
the grafters. 1t is also announced that
Admiral Mirabel,o, the minister OF the
navy, has already rendered his resig-
