they have failed TO show him any marked evi-
dences of affection and, indeed. manifested quite
a contrary disposition in this respect last spring
in connection with his application to the govern
ment and to parliament for an increase OF his
civil list. It has been his misfortune to have
been involved in controversies of one kind and
another about money matters with the treasury
and with the national legislature almost ever
since he attained his majority, when he began 10
complain of the alleged inadequacy of his al
Iowance from the state. His demands on the
national exchequer became more persistent than
ever when the Norwegians, deeply incensed by
his public threats at Stockholm TO bring them to
subsection by force of arms, retaliated by de-
clining to vote the quota of Norway to his civil
list Successive administrations and legislators
of every shade Of politics in Sweden showed
themselves indisposed TO comply with his per
petual applications for money, and when last
February he once more made a claim upon the
administration and upon parliament for lump
sum to defray liabilities incurred by reason Of
the insufficiency of his income from the treas
ury he encountered not only very unfriendly
refusal by the Cabinet and by the Diet. well
as good deal of abuse on the part of the
press but likewise a suggestion voiced in the
legislature that he should sell his large stables
in order to raise the money necessary 10 settle
his debts This perpetual wrangling by Gus
taf about money matters has imbued the Swed-
ish people with the conviction that he is of a
erasping and money grabbing character. belief
further strengthened by the knowledge that
there have been some painful family differences
arising from the fact that the widowed
Queen Sophia has unduly favored her second
son. Prince Oscar Bernadotte in financial way
Queen Sophia is enormously rich. Her great
wealth is derived from the public gambling
tables which her father the penutimate
eign Duke of Nassau, used to lease in his capital
at Wiesbaden to the late NJ Blanc, much in the
same way that the Prince of Monaco now leases
the Casino at Monte Carlo to old Blanc's sons
and sons-in-law. Prince Constantine Radziwill
and Roland Bonaparte. The now widowed
Queen seems bent upon atoning for the tainted
origin of her fortune by religion carried to the
gent law compelling the unwilling Swedes to
an altogether puritan observance of Sunday
which previous to the accession To the throne
of Oscar had always been regarded as holiday
destined for quiet pleasure and more or less
innocent dissipation. Her ideas are shared by
her second son. Oscar. who is regarded as the
chief beneficiary and heir of his mothers wealth
and who surrendered his royal prerogatives and
his rights of succession to the throne in order
to wed her maid of honor, Miss Ebba Munk.

CASE OF PRESIDENT AHEARN.

Governor Hughes has taken the expected
action in removing from office Borough Presi-
dent Ahearn the charges Of misconduct of
office which were laid before him. But the
counsel for Mr.. Ahearn took prompt steps to
secure judicial consideration of the matter by
getting an injunction to prevent the official
notice sof the removal and the filling of the
place. While the Borough President has
continued to perform his duties he shut
out of the Board of Estimate by a legal opin-
Ion secured by the Mayor. and 1t may be a legal
question whether he can perform any lawful
functions in his office The Mayor will also
have the of the Commissioners of Water

OF unfavorable action the commissioners have

moved from office last Summer.
THE presence of federal troops has induced
quiet at Goldfeld, but General Funston will not
proclaim martial law leaving that to the Gov

THE QUEENS ANCESTRY.

Nor is the new Queen of Sweden calculated 10
strengthen the hold of her husband upon the
affections of his people. For although she has
a strong strain of Vasa blood in her veins,

Grand Duke of Baden. who was a daughter OF
Gustavus Adolphus ", the penultimate VaSa
ruler of Sweden). yet she has alienated all the
good will which she would otherwise have en-
loved on account of that ancestry by perslstlng
in spending the greater part of her existence
abroad Entire years have passed without her

AN INTIMATE OF THE KAISER.

In matters of foreign policy Gustaf V leans
altogether in the direction of Germany and has
always cultivated a close intimacy with the
Kaiser. IL may safely be assumed that during
his reign the relations between Sweden and Ger
many viii become still closer than before and
that his response TO Norway's action in secur-
ing a guarantee of her neutrality from Great
Britain. France and Russia, which is directed
against Sweden. will take the form of the con-
clusion of offensive and defensive alliance
with Germany. 30 matter whether this alliance
lie made public or not, Gustaf makes no at
tempt TO conceal his pronounced sympathies for
Germany He has been one of the most active
movers in establishing the new ferry service be-
tween the German coast and the southernmost
point of his kingdom and is q frequent visitor
at Berlin. where indeed ne has become persona
gratisslma. Under the circumstances if is fort
innate that the Kaiser and King Edward have
succeeded in the last few weeks. by means of
personal negotiation and intercourse in restor-
which formerly existed between their respectiye
empires and in removing the sources of friction
which on more than occasion i'm recent
years have brought the two countries perilousIy
near 10 the brink of war. Although King Gus-
4. taf permitted his eldest son some time before
the Sc paration of Norway and Sweden 10 marry
an English princess, in the person of Princess
Margaret, daughter of the Duke and Duchess
of Cennaught yet he is far from entertaining
friendly feelings toward Great Britain or her
fuier Thus sharing the popular view as To
King Edwards mastery OF the arts of dinlo-
macy and statecraft. he is firmly convinced that
