Queen Wilhelmina's Egotism.

From Current Literature.
 The American impression of poor lt- tie Wilhemina covering beneath the brutallties of the man she asked to mar ry her is extremely curious to those res- idents of The Hague who understand the sort of disposition for which the house of Orange is celebrated For Wilhemina is a true daughter of the house of Or ange The Queens mother. the most obe- dient of parents, has proclaimed this more than once.
 .3he is never forgetful of her own im- mense importance to Holland. When, five years ago the Queen lay on that sick bed from which it seemed certain she could never rise, her Majestys physician in ordinary, feeling the patients pulse, declared that the crisis was over. "God. ' murmufed the Queen in faint whisper, "is very merciful to my people, The story may be invented, but it is said in German dallies to fit her Majesty's char acter like a glove.
 4 nature of this kind is not the ma terial out of which the most submls- sive of spouses can be fashioned. Wheth- CT, as some French dailies say, Wilhel-
 mina in virtue of her sovereign rank, had to make the proposal of marriage to Prince Henry. or whether, as some Ger man daiies tell us, her Majesty merely sent his Highness word that she was going to marry him, he was speedily in- volved in the same difficulties of ppre- rogative which tends at times to strain the Queen relations with the responsible rulers of her kingdom. Wilhelmina has exalted notions of her royal authority | She Is said to interfere in most personal | way with the conduct of Dutch foreign relations She looks upon the Dutch col onies as, in some sort. the private ap- Af n.. prodigious personal popularity with every | class of her subjects saves her from some of the consequences of her uncon. | stitutional tendencies.

ity which Is constantly increasing. in fact, the present dilemma in which the road finds Itself is the result of having Jagged behind the rapid development of the south. How fapid this development has been is well shown by the statement that in the last fifteen years the gross bus- ness of the southern roads has increased 1000 per cent, while the receipts of the roads of the entire country have in- creased by 400 per cent. It would have been better had the directors adopted the more conservative course followed by the Southern Pacific. for instance, and poured surplus earnings back into the property instead of beginning dividends on the preferred stock and then inereas- ing the rate to per cent. It is pretty well recognized now that this action was a mistake. It will aalke several years to fully develop the Southern railway as a double track road. In the meantime the investment in new construction Is largely on-produclng These are but temporary adverse factors and there can be no more question of the ultimate prosperity of the road. when once economy of op- eration is given a chance to develop and sho75 Itself, than there Is at present of the widespread prosperity of the south which Is largely ignorant of Wall street stock quotations.

THE SPtYERS IN LONDON
BY w. 6. NICHOLAS.

New York, June S.-(SpeciaI )-There has not been a time before in four years when sentiment In Wall street was so generally bearish as now There is a say ing that when everybody gets bearish 1t is time to buy stocks Many houses talk about intrinsic cheapness of stocks. but they do not very strongly recommend their purchase even at these low prices The public therefore, does not come into the market, and It Is not likely to come in until there Is a considerable upward turn. Most of the market critics agree that the market Is entitled to a consider able recovery on account of the extended short interest, but on such recovery there would be a general tendency to sell stocks again.
 Throughout the country people are saying as they did in 1903, that Wall street Is the only blue place in the coun- try. But Waiiistreet Is not the only blue financial center in the world. All over the world securities have had a big de- cline. British consols are selling at the lowest price in sixty. years. A Wall street man who has just come back from abroad saysa@"I was In London, Paris and Berlin, and everywhere I heard the same story of heavy losses in specula- tion, misgfvings as to the immediate fu- ture. and the prediction of further forced .liquidation. In Berlin merchants are paying and 7ha per cent for money, and there seemed to. be the same indication there of q big industrial setback that there was eight years ago. Germany has been specializing in lndustrials, real es- tate and railways just as we have, and it iooKs as though she would have to pay the usual penalty. The industrial cycles in Germany in recent years have been very much like our own. Ever so often capital is poured into all kinds of indus trial ventures. until there is no money left in the country, and then comes the setback In England I found that rich men were complaining of their enormous losses in American and English rails alike. The Strathcona following over there has been very badly hit. English capitalists and investors for years have been following Lord strathcona. and have put great deal of money into Canadian Pacific and the Hill stocks. Most of their Investments have been highly profitable, but this last slump in Great Northern and Northern Pacific has wiped out years of profits. They were advised to buy Great Northern and Northern Pacific all the way up to top prices, and they did. A great many well-to-do people abroad are holding on by their eyebrows, just as they are here, and think there will have to be more liquidation before the atmos- phere iss cleared" &
