a Crown Princess's Ice Yacht.

Sweden's future Queen, Crown Princess
Margaret, q daughter Of the royal English
Duke Of Connaught- possesses an accom-
plishnent unique among the women Of the
rejgning houses Of Europe-ramely, she Is
an expert IN the handling Of ice yachts
There is no place in the world that af-
fords such magnificent stretches of ice as
the waters around Stockholm in the winter,
and II is an altogether ideal place for ice
yachting. Another accomplishment Of hers
on the same line is that of skating with the
assistance Of q sail held against the shoul
ders. which with fair wind enables one
70 make an altogether extraordinary speed
The Crown Princess has become very popu-
lar in the land Of her adoption and is a par
ticular favorite OF her father-in-l law, King
Gustav When the latter is at Stockholm
they are almost inseparable, and every
morning may be seen walking together for
at least an hour or more, laughing and
chatting. Owing 10 the health Of the
Queen, which compeIs her to live alto
gether abroad, the Crown Princess fills the
role Of the leading lady of the land and
does the honors at all court functions for
the King in her nother-in-law's stead.

CHICAGO GREETs sEfDEL
Fifty Thousand Persons, It Is
Said, at Socialist Meeting.

Chicago, June 1e.-The greatest crowd
that ever attended a socialist meeting in
Chicago to-day greeted Emil Seidel. the So
cialist Mayor Of Milwaukee. It is estimated
that there were fifty thousand persons,
men. women and children, at the gathering,
which was held in North Side amusement
park.
In his speech on How Workingrlen Gov
eru q City, the Mayor termed the comnlts-
sion form OF government a ''plutocratic
plan for keeping plutocrats in power" IN
giving the Chicago socialists some practical
advice on how 20 carry on their campaign
so as 70 win next fall, Mayor Seidel said:
1T isn't essential that the workers be
instructed in socialism Socialism is a phase
OF cfviliza ton, d growth. anyway Talk to
the people tn their own language, not in
dsnns' and 'ologtes.' Show the people that
the ason there are boulevards in front Of
the homes of the rich is because the rich
furnish graft for the politicians and the
politicians furnish the boUlevards in re-
turn"
Mayor Seidel urged his hearers 10 re-
member that the task before the socialists
in Milwaukee is q difficult one and begged
them 10 suspend judgment until they had
been able. at least, 10 show their good IN
tentions."

At a. formal meeting Of the board of gov
eronrs of the Hudson-Fulton Yacht Club.
final plans were made for the erection Of
it's fine new clubhouse on the North River

The board of governors authorized the
letting of the contract for the foundatio l,
which will be upon piling, extending into
the river eighty feet and along the shore
line one hundred feet.
The clubhouse will be constructed upon
plans and specifications submitted by Fred

giving ample facilities for all kinds of
aquatic sports, and besides a large recep-
tion room, a billiard and pool room
The Hudson-Fulton Yacht Club was Or
eanized to commemorate the achievements

A Historic Mystery Cleared Up.

Grand Duke Nicholas Michaelaiovitch, of
Russia in an article just published in the
Revue HistoriQue'' in Paris, has at length
furnished an authoritative clew to the
identity Of the mysterious hermit, Fedor
kosnich. who died in 1864 in a monastery
at Tomsk- According TO popular report,
which has found widespread belief both
within the Russian Empire and beyond its
borders, this hermit was no other than
Emperor Alexander I, who had survived his
officially proclaimed death at Taganrog in
1s25, and had retired from the world owing
to the profound reraorse which overlook
him in his later years for his share IN the
responsibility for the shocking murder of
his crazy father, Emperor Paul, in 1901. This
belief was fostered by the fact that every
member Of the imperial family who passed
Tonask made a point of visiting the
hermit, treating him with profound vener-
alton and regard, and that since his death,
in 1854, his tomb in the monastery has also
been the bourne OF many imperial pilgrim
ages. Moreover, his resemblance to the
Of the imperial family was so
striking as TO convince everybody that he
was member Of the House Of Romanof.
Grand Duke Nicholas, however, now fur
nishes proof that the hermit at Tomsk
was an illegitimate brother Of Ernperors
Alexander and Nicholas 7, the offspring
Of an intimacy between their father, Car
Paul, and the Polish Princess Czartoryska
In q letter printed in these columns on
April p I called attention 10 the abso-
lutely conclusive evidence produced by
Grand Duke Nicholas Of Emperor Alex
ander's death at Taganrog in 1875, quoting
letters of his consort to her mother, in
which the Czarina described day by day
how she ru-sed him in his last illness and
how he had died in her arms.

ister Of Foreign Affairs, to develop closer

nuired by the western Hemisphere, espe-
cialIv after the completion Of the Panama

ltheratelv undertaken to increase Frances
influence in the New World.
