ITALIAN royal FAMILK SCRAP.
King Snubbed the Queens brother for
AttackinG Alliance With Greece.

AttacktuH Aituncc Win GFeece.
ROME, April so. The information pub
lished in the Tribune, a ministerial paper.
owned by a Senator and subsidized, blythe
Government. explaining why the Queen
OF Italy did not accompany her husband
on his recent visit TO Greece and did not go
either TO Gaeta to meet the British sover-
eiens or 10 Spezia for the launch Of the
battleship Roma and the presentation of a
flag to a battleship bearing her name has
excited and is still exciting considerable
comment, An official communication
denied the report of a disagreement be-
tween the King and Prince Danilo Of Monte
negro, but this denial appears to have
served only TO confirm still more the news
oil the Tribupd. the more so as no attempt
has been made by the Government to pre-
vent the story from being telegraphed
abroad, a most significant fact in a country
like Italy, where press censorship reigns
supreme.
The true version of the story appears to
be that the Princess Milena of Montenegro,
with three other daughters and her two sons
Danilo and Mirko. came toRome to undergo
a surgical . operation. The party was
lodged at the Quirinai In a special apart
Int0I III IN oCC VI hNttlhAubCo n
provided by the King for his mother n-law.
Prince Danilo had caused considerable
to the King on a former visit
to Rome on account of his eT cessive and
open admiration for a nurse of the royal
children, who had In consequences TO be
dismissed and whose husbands jealousy
had to be allayed by means OF a large sum
paid by the King. On the present occasion
he first found fault with the Italian doctor
who was attending his mother. and shbse-
uuently objected in rather strong terms
to the Increasing friendly relations between
Italy and Greece. g.. .
The King Ia said TO have cut short a con-
v~ersation on this subject by coolly asking
Prince Danilo when he intended leaving
Rome. Danilo evidently took the hint
and left the next morning with his whole
FAMILY, including. OF course. Princess
Milena, who had not yet undergone the
operation for which she came to Rome.
The departure was 30 sudden that the party
had to wait q couple Of days at Bari before
a ship could be chartered TO carry them
semi-family squabble or the Queen was
such that she took to her bed with fever.
and for the first time during hsr happy
married life she did not accompany the
King on his travels.
All sorts OF oonjectures are now made,
further developments are vaguely limited
at and il Is rumored that the Queens
father, Prince Nicola of Montenegro, has
been summoned to Rome to act as peace
maker. Hitherto incidents relating to the
sovereigns' domestic life were never dis
cussed by the Italian papers, but now they
have become the topic Of the day.

Demand of the railroads upon the work
for their locomotives ana cars is in ex-
cess, all over the country. of their ability
to meet it, That is, demand of traffic has
outrun railroad equipment very far, 1t is
in the West that the shortage produces
extreme Inconvenience and heavy loss.
Even the great lines of the East cannot
move the traffic that offers, and lack of
motive power delays even passenger
trains. In the Southern states the condi-
tions are very similar to those that pre-
vail in the West. WerN the situation
without remedy the people would be pa
tent. But il is felt everywhere tina there
has not been sufficient foresight or enter
prise i'm making provision to handle the
traffic of the country: and in most, II not
all the states, legislative inquiry will be
made. with view, perhaps. to enforcement
of remedies, or, at least, OF attempting
them.
The people do not wish to deal unjustly
with the railroads., nor do they expect
impossibilities. But they do feel that
there has been delinquency. or dilatori-
ness; and they wish to expedite supply
of a pressing want. The reciprocal de-
murrage" talked of is in the nature of a
fine: it may have in it an element of in
justice, for perhaps it will be impossible
to furnish the cars called for, since none
can be bought or built at once; but it
will be admonitory, and may hasten re-
suits. Lack of cars has been an increas-
ing complaint for years. and it is not be-
lieved hat tho railroads have done ali
they could or should to meet it.-Ore-
gonian.

Conclusion.
Geese With Brains.

A farmer would scarcely believe that \
goose requires only about sixty hours in
order 10 prepare it for the footlights and
a critical audience. and that a common
pig, which has been bought in the mar
ket will in thirty hours be competent. to
blossom forth as an actor.
According to Clyde Powers. a trainer
of wide experience n much patience. it
takes a duck about three days to learn
how to march on the stage, to follow
the chorus, and to march off again at
the proper time: it takes a chicken a
week or more, and a turkey CannOt
grasp the art of acting in less than six
months time
Mr., Powers has tried to train a pea
fowl, but he finds that II is impossible.
A goose is the most intelligent Of all the
feathered tribe and a goose is also the
only domestic fowl that shows affection.
Animals are always entertaining, and
so much in demand are they by man
ayers. that every vaudeville theater in
America books for its program at least
one animal act. and often two. every
week. A good animal troupe is con-
tracted for many months ahead, and its
owners and trainers receive salaries far
exceeding those of the average troupe OF
vaudeville performers OF the human
species.
