The papal palace is a house OF

nothing but worship and work going
on there. The pope. his secretaries

devoting themselves 10 business OF
state or church. Even while the Holy
Father sat for me he was continuous

ROYAL YACHT HURT
INQUIRY is STOPPED

LONDON. July l1.-By the kings
special command no inquiry will be
held either in Germany or in this
country over the damage which the
new royal yacht, Alexandra. sustained
when passing through the Keil canal
recently with the king and queen on
board.
This command has very naturally
given rise to the suggestion that the
wreckage In the canal which tore one
OF the yachts propellers was placed
there deliberately and some OF the
sailors on the yacht have not hesitat-
ed TO tell theft friends OF their sus-
picions. An examination showed that
the obstruction consisted largely OF
metal and the sailors assume that this
was thrown in the catal by German
laborers animated by spite and who
were anxious 10 see the king ana
queen OF England held up in the
canal
IL Is an open secret at Portsmouth
where the yacht Is now In dry dock
that the kaiser initiated an inquiry on
his own account and that he caused
the canal authorities 10 send a letter
OF the deepest apology for the acct
dent TO the British admiralty The
yacht will be ready for service In
August. when the queen will embark
on board for her usual family visit
TO Copenhagen.
