KING HANUEL'S BRIDE

PARIS, April 25.-Whether he wants
10 or not, young King Manuel of Portu-
gal, who is only eighteen. must marry
soon. As his uncle. the Duke OF Oporto,
although a great lover of the fair sex,
is opposed 20 marrying, the only posi-
bility Of an heir 70 the Portuguese
throne rests with the boy king.
All reports from Lisbon agree that the
Dowager Queen .AmeHe and the mem
bers Of the Portuguese cabinet are try
ing % agree upon some young princess
who Is worthy Of the honor OF becoming
Queen OF Portugal. The rumor that
King Manuel is 70 marry the Kaiser's
only daughter is not believed here. but
IN diplomatic circles there is talk about
another combination which IS far more
creditable. II is said that the English
princess Alexandra, Oldest daughter OF
the Duke Of Fife. would please the peo-
pie uf Portugal
The Duchess of Fife is the oldest OF
King Edwards three daughters. and is
known IN England as the princess royal
Her daughter Alexandra will he seven

NEW ELECTRIC GUN
TESTED IN FRANCE

PARIS. April 25.-The French military
authorities are experimenting with a
new gun invented by Alfred POuteauN,
OF Dion. which promises to revolution
lie warfare and which IS superior to any
other gun In existence.
The new gun has the great advantage
over the old style in that il requires no
charge of powder. but that shells may
be fired from it by electricity.
Il consists OF a tube open at both
ends, and. in spite of it's harmless look.
it is able to throw a shell to a far
greater distance than any other known,
and to do so without noise. smoke or
flame
It is aimed like any other great gun.
and no matter how big shells are used
il IS to be classed as a rapid fire gun.
for it can throw shells as quickly as
they can be introduced in the open
rear end. There is no breech. and no
breech lock to delay the firing.
Experiments have been going on for
some time nea- Dion, but not the small
est detail Of the construction of the
gun has leaked out. and the govern
ment has taken the most extraordinary
precautions to prevent German spies
from getting near the proving grounds
All the officers who are testing the
new arm have been selected with special
care, and millions could not buy the Sc
cret from any Of them.
The inventor himself hopes that the
weapon he has made shall be so much
superior 10 that possessed by any other
power that It will forever exclude the
possibility Of France getting into war
again, but among army officers the hope
is expressed that IL will enable the
French army to recover what il lost III
the Franco-Prussian war of 1870.

KAISER WANTED
AMERICAN DOLLARS
Friendly Roasting Over
Tower Incident Given
by Paris Paper.

PARIS, April 25.-A friendly roast
ing has been given to the kaiser by
the well-known Paris paper lie Matin, %
because Of the recent Tower-Hiu afair.
What makes the Kaiser 50 sympa-
thetic.' the paper says editorially, is
that he is SO very human and so very
different from other empeTors. Wise.
and prudent in important affairs, he
continually blunders in the most de-
lightful way in smaller matters. Evil
IDENTIFY William does not know tho
words OF TaIeyrand, who said: Be
ware Of first impulses; they are gen
orally good
The Kaiser does not beware Of his
impulses; he almost invariably follows
them; he talks without thinking Of the
consequences and is invariably surprised
at the results As rule he is moved
by the very best of intentions. He had
the bzst intentions when he sent his
famous telegram TO the late President
Kruger. as also when recently he
wrote Lord Tweedmouth
1T is equally easy 10 understand his
motives in the DR.. Dave JAYNE Hill in
cident. The United States had at Ber-
lin an ambassador who was rich and
who entertained lavishly. They replac-
ed him by another who was poor and
who could not afford 70 entertain.
1T was this which ANNOYED the
Kaiser. who did not see that American
money could be put to any better use
than 10 make his subjects dance and
I'LL the pockets of Berlin merchants.
Many other monarchs would have
thought as did the Kaiser, but say It
never. But the Kaiser has given US IN
France a hint and when We are going
70 send another ambassador we Will

fond Of show, and we need fear no
