Prince MlQuci, tlS PAS
te>-7Ieg 10 the throne of Portugal, and
.es,,ason of the man who actually
rasgned as king to that country from
SIS to 1894.
That question is being asked re
seatedly today, now that the dynasty
At Braganza- Coburg has been over
thrown by the revolutionary move
mont and King Manuel and the queen
,nother have sought safety in flight.
a.. interesting as are the complica-
cons which confront one when he I'M
aertakes to investigate the history OF
the royal family of Portugal, the con
fngerefes which might admit of the
scsss;on Of an American queen are
vather improbable of occurrence, and
thev are not much more improbable
now that the republic has been pro-
slai,ed than they were on September
Is, la, when the wedding took place
liz scotland
The assassination of King Carlos
and his eldest son, the heir apparent,
hsarght the present boy king to the
til one, and made the pretender and
liz sons rather unwelcome In English
coprt circles King Edward acquaint
I'D the Austrian emperor with his dis
pleasure that a Portuguese revolution
thauld be fomented from Vienna, and
Il revolution which, by inference at
le.s, might be identified with the
tragedy at Lisbon. The Duke of Bra
eanza thereupon was allowed to re-
sign his Office in the hussars, but his
suns were dismissed from their posts.
I; was said that Prince MIGUEL was
looking for an heiress whom he might
marry The story runs that he first
saw Miss Stewart when they We're
,eiicw.pAssengers on channel steam
er crossing from Calais to Dover. She
att scted him. He comprised all the
wiles known to the expert in the eff
fort to get an opening so that he
n.',ht speak. None came. The young
Indy and her mother kept a very
harehty attitude But the mother and
Daughter became very suspicious as
to the Identity OF the handsome young
man shadowing them. They asked
that the guard lock them into their
railway carriage. But the persistent
prince took the same train for Lon
don, and when the ladies entered
their motor brougham he paid we'll a
chauffeur who kept in sight of their
carriage until 1t reached its destina-
ton
Then all became easy. The car
rage stopped in front of house In
Grosvenor Square. The identity OF
the Americans was quickly estab-
shed The prince induced friend
to take him to the house and perform
the necessary introductions He made
his apologies for following them with
cleverness and suavity. He wanted
so much TO know them" He called
at the house number Of times. The
mother did not think Of Intentions
until too late. When he declared then,
there was prompt refusal The
daughter must not enter upon the
life Of political intrigue to which the
wife Of the prince would be destined
But the affections Of the young won
an were already engaged. AT length
the consent of the mother was given
Then in his turn the young prince
two weeks after the engagement to
Miss Stewart was announced made 6
public denunciation to all claims Il
the throne of Portugal which he
might have been supposed to cherish
Before the recent revolution, there
fore, the American bride can have
thought OF the crown of Portugal a.
but very distant possibility.
But now the republic has arrived
apparently. No one can say what tn,
future story of Portugal may be
whether the republic will stay, or tn.
present royal family will come back
or and here lies the one possibilit,
of the American girl becoming
qucen--if the family of the pretende
will be called to the regal palaces o
the Braganzas. 1t is conceivable al
ways that the people will tire OF th
newly-instituted form Of government
that they will decide not to allo,
King Manuel II. to rule over then
and that they will invite the pretende
to assume the throne which was re
Is nounced by his father 1t would nc
be the first time in history that on
branch of family has been exile
and another put into power
