CT Marie christina. Infants Maria Ther- esq. the kine'e sister. and Prince Charles of Bourbon his brother in law are the defendants in a strange lawsuit which will be carried to the highest court of Spain.
 The plaintiffs are two young people, Alfonso and Fernando Sanx. who claim and demand from him a fortune which they say should have been theirs long ago.
 The suit has brought to light sever al royal family skeletons and it is rather surprising that King Alfonso has not settled the matter out of court.
 It was known to all Madrid that the late king. father of ng onso, had love affair with Senora Elena Sang. but the two brothers now threaten to have all the late kings love lettehs to their mother read aloud in court, and they evidently mean it.
 King Alfonso XII several times off. cially recognized Alfonso and Fernan- do Sang as his sons and even wanted to send for them when he was dying.
 One year after the kings death an agreement was reached and the Royal court consented to pay to a Madrid banker a large amount. the interest of which. about 30.00O francs. was to be paid to the guardian of the boys, the principal to be turned over to them when they became of age. This happened some time ago. but when the young men demanded their money, they were told that 1t had been lost. the banker having failed and the Royal family refused to pay 1t sec ond time.
 Several ministers of State have been called to testify and even the Queen Mother may have to so on the stand. The older brother Alfonso now de- ciares that not even the paymerff of his claim will satisfy him. He wants to be recognized as Prince of Bour- bon.

Leopold ana the Canrn.

King Leopold of Belgium. who has long lost his popularity and is now losing the Congo Free State, Is by no means unlikely to lose his throne in the near future.
 Popular disgust with the Kings greed. personal viciousness and mur- derous policy OH the Congo. have at last attained height dangerous to his safety. The outrageous demand for s3o.000.000 compensation for surren- dering the Congo crown domains to the Belgian nation Is the last drop In the cup of iniquity.
 The Kings demand tor compensation for the Grown Domain. say his enemies is only natural. The nogginR and massacring of natives which he syste maticaEy carried on in order to extract rubber were the logical result of vi- cious life which compelled him to ob. tain money at any cost. Without the ill-gotten profits of the Crown De- main Leopold will be either bankrupt. or. what he will feel more bitterly. he will be obliged to become respectable
 The probability Is that the dispute between King and people will be con tinued till the May elections The Premier M. Schollaert. advised IeopoId that if this happened, a wave of anger would spread over Belgium which might lose him his throne.

 Senator Prepares speech.
 The Senator was locked in his study tonight. burning midnight oil upon the preparation of the speech he IS 10 make tomorrow upon the Aldrich currency bill. and would brook no in- trusion. It twas declared by one of his chief iieutenants that there was nothing to the report.
 Tn other quarters 1t is declared that while La Toilette may be innocent in fhe matter up to the present time it does not follow that there Is nothing to the story that plans are being made to give him the nomination.
 Recently Hearst announced that his organization would not support Pres-
 
 ernor Johnson, of Minnesota. This was construed st the time to indi- cate that Hearst himself was to take the field. but he may have had a dark horse in mind.
 The man who informed the Presi- dent as to the intentions of MT. Hearst said he was not posted as to whether La Toilette would accept the Indepen- dence League nomination, but he in- ferred he would in the event that he did not secure the Republication nont- nation.

 The man in question. who Is not and and never has been in La Follette's confidence, but who is one of the lead ing members of the Senate and one of the greatest politicians in the country asserted he was sure of his authority as to Hearst's plans, and made the statement without qualification.
 Incidentally. it was declared that La Follette's speech tomorrow in reality will be a platform of principles upon which he expects to go before the country. Others have believed that q speech later In the session would enun- ciate such a platform.
 Senator La Follette'ss appearance on the Senate floor tomorrow will be his first in several weeks. Since re- covery from his illness he has de- voted himself entirely to preparing his speech, sud his enemies as well as his friends are looking forward to the produeticn with intense interest.

Italy and Russia Row.

Almost an international incident" between Russia and Italy has been caused by the report that Mario Cal vino, an Italian journalist in Russia. had been arrested, with others. for an attempted bomb outrage on the Grand Duke Michael. .e..-.i.
 Sensational reports reached Italy of the sufferings of an innocent Italian subject in the hands of the brutal Rus sian police. The man had an Italian passport, in the name of Mario Calvi- no. but the other Italian correspond ents in St. Petersburg vehemently pro- tested that their conhere was abso- lutely innocent.
 In the midst of the excitement aroused by the affair-while Italian journalists were petitioning the gov ernment on Calvino's behalf. and his case was discussed in the Italian Par lament the real Calvino was discov- cred in Rome attending an anti-cleri- cal meeting. Inquiries showed that he had lent his passport to Polish friend. who for purposes of his own assumed the Italians name. Both men were apparently anarchists. and had arranged the transfer of the passport between them. Hence the real Calvinc did not reveal himself during the ex- citement over his supposed arrest in St. Petersburg.

TAFT IS GIVEN
A BIG OVATION
Crowd Cheers Fer Nineteen Minutes
Thousands in the
Parade.

New York, Oct. 29-The Republic
can campaign in New York city
reached its climax when William H.
Taft, presidential candidate. and
Charles E. Hughes, candidate for gov
ernor, spoke from the same platform
at Madison Square Garden to an audi
ence that filed the enormous amphi-
theater. Their appearance at Madi-
son Square Garden came at the end
of day which, from a political view
point, was most remarkable. During
the day Mr.. Taft spoke at IA meet
ings and Governor Hughes spoke Is
times. Then, while the Madison
Square meeting was in progress. q
giant parade was vending it's way in
a downpour of rain down through the
heart of the city. These were only
the main features of the day.
Hours before the doors Of the gar
den were thrown open long lines OF
ticket holders had formed. There Is
no other structure in New York
which can hold such big audience
as Madison Square Garden, but 1t
soon became apparent to the police
that it would not have space enough
for the hundreds gathered outside.
At 7 O'Clock a heavy rain set In
and it was thought the crowd would
dwindle, but this was a mistake. The
streets for blocks around were alive
with umbrellas, and few persons de-
serted the waiting throngs. Excel
lent police regulations prevented any
unseemly crowding when the doors
were opened, shortly after the rain
began to fall. BY o'clock the police
had to bar all except reserved seat
ticket holders.
While waiting for the arrival of
Judge Taft, speeches were made by
General Porter, chairman of the
meeting; Senator Lodge, Secretary
Straus and Governor Hughes.
The Republican presidential candi-
date reached the garden at 1902 and
instantly the audience was on its feet
cheering. The band played the Star
Spangled Banner" and hundreds Of
flags waved At the end of 10 min
utes the cheering changed to shouts
Of Taft, Taft, Big Bill Taft" A
corps of ushers entered the hall from
under the platform bearing huge por-
traits of Taft, Sherman ana Hughes.
At the expiration of Is minutes the
band began playing What you goin'
to do when the rent comes round"
but the shouting of Taft, Taft, Big
Bill Taft" drowned the music. At
the end Of 10 minutes Of tumult Gen.
eral Porter made himself heard and
introduced Judge Taft.

The street car service rendered
Winchester has been so unsatisfac-
tory that there is just now going
on a lively correspondence between
Mr.. T. H. Haggard, city attorney.
and the street car officials. Mr.. Hag-
gard insists that the contract be-
tween the city of Winchester and
the Central Kentucky Traction Com
pany be lived up to.
In a conversation with a reporter
for The News. Mr.. Haggard also
called attention to the fact that the
paving between the tracks on certain
parts of the line was not satisfac-
tory. Under the contract, the Trac-
ton Company is to maintain the
roadbed between the tracks and on
eighteen inches on each side, in good
condition. In MANY places, the paw :.
ing is broken, in others, it is above
the top of the track.

your favor of the 26, with reference
TO the street car service In this city

at my statement that the service here
is very unsatisfactory. In reply will
say, that | want to express my sur
prise that your company should put
on such rolling stock and render such
service as this city has been getting
after entering into the contract that
you have with the city. Under your
contract you were to have put two
new cars on service in this city some
thing like two years ago, but instead
you have shipped old cars here and
they have been used, giving us a
very bum service. You say YOU will
send your mechanical force here to
make necessary repairs--it will be
Unnecessary to do this for the old
cars are beyond repair and the peo-
pile have made up their mind not to
stand for the continued violation of
your contract in this manner We
want to impress upon you now that
the best thing to do will be to send
new cars here for the service and /
hardly think it necessary for you to
appear before the Council until the
ears are on the service. Under your
last arrangement with the Council
you were to make a round trip every
II minutes between the hours of
6 30 a. m. and $50 p. m. | am,

ference with the Mayor and some
members Of the Council, we decided
that the proper steps to be taken
were, to notify you that unless the
cars were rim as set out in the con
tract, the Council would decline to
pay any claim that you might have
against the city on account of light
ing they streets. / know that your
claim Is that you have been relieved
by the Council from this part of
your contract. but my opinion is
and Was as you remember at the
time you undertook to obtain this
relief, that the Council did not
have the right to excuse you from
that part of your contract, for the
reason that the Council was empow-
cred to make the contract by a vote
of the people, who were persuaded to
vote to pay a big price for the lights

Mr.. F. H. Haggard, City Attorney,
Winchester, XIV.
Dear Sir Replying to your re-
cent favor relative to the oneration
of the street ears will say that the
trouble largely has been owing to
the fact that the company was in
stalling a new engine for the express
purpose of running the day current
and the street car system. This is
now In and do not believe there will
be any further cause for the com
plant. | understand from the man
agement that they fought very hard
to have the intermissions as slight
as possible but that they were unable
to do any better than was done. 1t
is q fact that we are under contract
with the Traction Company to fur
nish the power for operating the
street railway but as to any liability
under the old contract of course you
understand that l differ from you
about that.
| trust, however, that there will not
be any occasion for our trying out
. that question. Yours very truly.
