tiers round the question as to what
extent the German people are laid

Professor Brentano calculates the
annual extra cost to the German peo-
pie at 600 million marks Of which the
empire cashes 100 millions. while 500
millions 10 into the pockets OF the
agrarian landowners. This calculation

this calculation and estimates that

DON Jaime, now residing at FrosdrOf,
near Vienna, and in view of the ex-
listing conditions in Spain. this part
of the will Is of considerable interest
and the superstition that Don Jaime
regards the present junction as favor
able for publishing the testament is
now far-fetched. Don Carlos thus adj
dressed his eldest son;
"As my first born son will be head OF

has filled duties to fulfil to the mem
DRY of his father. He will be both the
representative of my regal rights and

trophies, but as symbols and as wit
nesses of my continued fidelity and

our misfortunes. I brought them in all
honour to foreign land in the hope
that they may one day triumphantly
wave in my beloved country. ! COM

guard them as his dearest treasurers,

mate hopes bound up in them

itimate principles which | have OBJ

him. as king and father. to cultivate

manner. and do still defend the rights
OF our dynasty in Spain and the prin-
ciples stamped upon our flags. and
never to forget those individuals and
families who have for several genera
tons sacrificed themselves for our
cause"
Further directions in the will deal
with the property left by Don Carlos.
The chief portion falls TO Don Jaime,
the estates being divided into four
parts, going respectively to Don Jaime
and to his sisters, the Archduchess
Blanche of Austria, Princess Meria
Beatrice, married to Prince Fabrizio
Massimo. and Princess Elvira, married

The point which t.le T.-R. has made

TO such men as Senator James A.
Smith. of Usage. Senator Funk or At

a lawyer he has not the legislative ex-
p%erience of any one of h three and If
