AIfonso's Troubles.

Poor King Alfonso of Spain has dis covered to his sorrow that even in royal families. mother.in%laws are no better than they are pictured In the comic papers.
 The mother of Queen Victoria. prin- cess Henry of Battenberg. endeavored In keeping with mother-in-law tradi- tions, to run the household of the young couple at Madrid.
 At first the jars In married life were slight but daily they increased in wio- lence until the King put his foot down and gave his mother-in.law an exhibf- ton of royal temper which would Nave done justice to his reaitive by mar riage. King Edward Of England.
 The quarrel was tempestuous and the compliments exchanged entirely out side the book of court conversation, so the mother-in-Iaw suddenly packed her trunks and left the palace vowing she would never return.
 This happened several weeks ago but so strained are the relations between herself and her royal son-in-law that not even during her daught ter's recent illness did she visit her.
 King Alfonso, who is as stubborn ae mule. b determined to have his own way in his household and will tolerate no interference from any of his wife's relatives. The young Queen who Is greatly In love with her hot-headed husband, Is entirely on his side and re- fuses to see her mother until she prom ises never to consider herself anything but guest when at Madrid

We strolled along the street
And for a Ave cent peanut sack

Beside the fragrant hedge
I took her little hand in mine
And made al earnest pledge.
And how We sauntered home along
A way that seemed too short

Where this sweet maiden and myself

and particularly Friday, the 18th. Once
when about to seat himself at the din

make the thirteenth person and told
those already seated to proceed-that
he would wait awhile. The reason for
his hesitation being suspected, his
granddaughter said: "Why, grandpa,
sit down. With me there are only
twelve and a hail." After this sally
the grandfather laughingly assented.
1t may have been fate that decreed
that his last illness should have come
on that Friday the 18th Of which he
stood in fear.

goes without saying that the com.
minds should mass TO those who have

mands should pass to those who have
had the training in succession.
1.-The four rear admirals chosen to
the commands were. of course. care
fully chosen on the score Of ability
rather than of availability. OF the
four. three must retire from active
service under the age limit before real
" much could be realized from their
full feet training. It must not be for
gotten that, in addition to the massed
feet. there are four more active divi.
sions in the Pacific to be commanded
and a new b%attleship division almost
ready for assembly here at home. Just
prior to the sailing Of the feet from
Hampton Roads 1t will be remembered
that the elder captains were relieved
and replaced by younger men. but
there were two exceptions made. Cap
tains Wainwright and Schroeder both
belonged to the category Of older cap
tains and were nea their regular time
for Advancement to the grade Of rear
admirals. As Evans and Thomas re-
tire Wainwright and Schroeder come
naturally ahead to fill the vacancies In
division command, all the better fitted
for the positions from their feet expe-
Renee. Sperry has the great advan-
tage Of eighteen months Of active serv-
ice still ahead Of him In addition to
his natural seniority. Thus the solidar-
ity Of the divisional and fleet command
Is maintained and the efficiency Of the
feet steadily advances.
1T is only now that every one Is
beginning to wake up to the fact that
the cruise Of the feet has not been a
mere experimental procession or a
travelling show, but a thoroughgoing
tuning up Of an already well trained
mass-so well trained that the feet ar
rives in effective condition than
when it started. Sperry will increase
its efficiency beyond the slightest
doubt. he knows the business of naval
work Of today. All through his life,
come good or come i'll, he has not only
had the faculty, but, as shown in his
work, he has exercised 1t to the full,
of keeping up with the times and max
ing use Of experience in the most ef-
fecttve way and under all circum-
stances doing his work with the ease
and steadiness Of the trained athlete.
"Of course there is the other factor
in this extension Of the cruise to the
uttermost ends Of the earth that Ameri-
cans take to heart. We know that the
ships and the men are oil right. So
cially also when it comes to showing
the national character we want to
show an equal advantage. At this end
Of the line no better representative
could be chosen than Sperry. No one
could talk with him two minutes with.
out being impressed with respect for
his courteous dignity, his familiarity
with all the matters that are of inter-
est in world progress, and he possesses
to the full that quiet assurance Of the
American who needs no affectation to
impress his critic. A better example
Of quiet, impressive American charac-
ter could not have been chosen. Take
1t oil In all, the coming extension Of
the cruise may serve Is an invaluable
lesson to the faraway world as to
what kind Of people the Americans
really are, not what hidebound for
eign writer's think we are"

EVANSVILLE, Sept. 10. - Heavy
personal onslaughts on Speaker Can

Bryan in the course Of his travels
through Illinois. The democratic
candidate attacked Cannon from all
,ides. He charged the speaker with
being favorite OF the predatory cor
)orations, with having strangled re-
form legislation, with having falsi-
fed facts with regard to Bryan's
wealth. Bryan bided his time before
giving vent to his utterances until he
reached the speakers congressional
district when ten minute speech
was made at Toledo. Moving from
Toledo Bryan repeated his remarks
1t Newton. At Olney he openly ac-
:used the speaker OF telling false
hood when the speaker fixed Bryan's
wealth at million dollars. In great
detail Bryan gave figures showing
how his money had ben acquired. He
ixed his earthly possessions at $780,
90. During the day Bryan deliver
