majesty having expressed his intention
of presenting Bulgaria with several war

journal adds that, in view of this new
evidence of Russia's extremely friendly
feeling towards Bulgaria, King Ferdi-
nand had decided to embrace the Ortho-

family. and that he will ask the emperor
to consent to be his sponsor. The news

King Alfonso Discusses Plan with Of
ficiaIs fseyille.

Seville. March -(Speeial.)-During his
recent visit here King Alfonso discussed
with Senior de Tena the plans of the
municipality for the widening of the
streets of Seville. The king expressed
regret that some of the ancient winding
streets of the city were to be replaced by
ordinary straight thoroughfares In the
common European fashion. The KING
added that it would undoubtedly be well
to widen and straighten many of the
streets, but that it would be regrettable
TO reconstruct all those which give to
Seville it's quaint and picturesque aspect.
The kings remarks are very favoraply
commented on, and there Is general
hope that the Gale Sierpe In particular
will not be altered.
The king explained to Senior de Tena
other plans of his own. among them the
construction within the Aleazar OF lawn
tennis, croquet and other courts.

Representative Hobson of Alabama is
always pointed out to visitors as the
most earnest advocate in the House OF
a large navy. His prediction of wal
with Japan has served to attract atten-
ton to him as the one congressman who
most favors a powerful navy. But Mr.
Hobson is not the only member who de.
sires Uncle Sam to have the largest and
most powerful fleet anoat.
In this respect he has rival In the
person of Representative Sulloway Of
New Hampshire. The tall member from
the Granite State says he favors six bat.
tleships of the Dreadnought type instead
OF two. as the naval committee has
agreed on. He is opposed to the cry OF
economy for the army and navy. Thu
country ought to be prepared at all times
to protect and uphold its dignity and give
protection to the citizen, wherever hs
nay be. is the sentiment OF the NeH
Hampshire member.

Among the measures pending before the
committee on rules of the House is one
known as the Bennett resolution, to ex-
punge from the permanent congressional
record of the last Congress the resolution
of censure reported by the special COM
mittee appointed by the House to pass
upon that part of President Roosevelt's
message in which he handled without
gloves the members who criticised the
secret service and the use to which 1t
was put by President Roosevelt. Con-
gresham Bennett is an ardent admirer
of the former strenuous president and
conspicuously defended him at the time
the House ordered the offensive portion
of the message expunged from the rec
ord And now he has renewed the fight
to expunge the sharp things said against
the former president
The committee on rules has not YET
found time to take up the resolution
and the Indications are that, so far as thu
rules committee is concerned, the House
will not have another opportunity to
throw bricks at the African hunter. Mr.
Bennett says the matter will be heart
from the session adjourns.
