CLOSE observers Of the trend Of affairs
10 the administration are beginning to
wonder how soon after his return from
Europe Postmaster General Hitchcock
will tender his resignation. Up to a
few months ago the president turned
over to Mr.. Hitchcock many Of the ad-
ministration problems. A change be
gan to be noticed shortly after c. ID.
Norton became private secretary to the
president. 1t is regarded as significant
that Mr.. Hitchcock should depart for
Europe at a time when the republican
campaign is being shaped up, and his
departure without seeing the president
is deemed to be worthy OF more than
passing notice.

To Boycott Alfonso.

Paris, July 25.-An international
boycott against King Alfonso. Of Spain,
with demonstrations against him in
every foreign city he may visit, will be
urged tomorrow by those Spanish revo-
lutionists who have been exiled from
their own country and arc now living
in Paris. Tomorrow is the anniver-
sary Of the beginning OF the feial riots
in Barcelona, in which more than 100
lives were lost, and following which, it
is said, 900 persons were shot by decree
OF court-marshal. To celebrate the
anniversary Of the uprising the reyolu-
tionists are preparing proclamation
which they will circulate al over the
continent. In part 1t reads;
1T is necessary to force the criminal
king to remain in his own country,
which he manages so badly Country
loving citizens there will make his fur
ther rule impossible, and their COM
rades throughout Europe should not
allow Alfonso 10 dishonor the respec-
tive capitals with his presence.

THE Christian Unity Foundation Is
the title Of new organization incorpo-
rated in New York for the purpose OF

AN ANXIOUS PARENTS QUERY.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette

10 the EdlIof OF the AleAandria GaIette
Is there no law to protect our chill
dren from the speed maniacs who have
taken possession Of our streets? Or is
the failure due to incompetence in the
executive department? Last Saturday
night, when the streets we're crowded
with women and children, one of our
irresponsible JOY riders amused him
self by driving his machine wide
open" up and down King street and no
one could be found to stop him. Let
us call a halt now before these paniacs
have succeeded in numbering someone.
We have a right to demand reasonable
safety on our streets and il shere is no
law, no officers toprotect, the sooner
Council is called to legislate upon it the
better An ANXIOUS FATHER.

DEFENDS CHURCH's POLICY.

Cardinal Agl;ardi, in Rome, replying
to a question as to whether the church
had accommodated the wife Of Prince
Oscar Of Prussia because she married
Protestant, said: No special ex-
communication is required, as mar
riages contracted in conflict with the
laws Of the church are punished by
such penalty de jure.
Questioned whether he feared trouble
against the church are punished by
such a penalty de iure." Questioned
whether he feared trouble against the
church in Germany, he said
The church is now passing through
a period Of persecution. 1t is engaged
in a most grave battle all over
Europe.
Referring to Spain he said rupture
between the church and state seemed
to be almost impossible. Religious
feeling is very strong among the Car
lists, and doubtless they would rise to
protect the church, thus creating
serious embarrassment. The interviewer
remarked that the responsibility for
the present state Of affairs was
thrown on Leo XIII. The cardinal
said:
The statement is unfair and ground
less. Politics is like war. Nobody would
dream Of calling a recent defeat the
consequence OF preceding victory.
Leo was a great pontiff, and had led
the Holy See with great splendor."
The interviewer suggested that the
church would be exposed TO great loss
il it continues its present policy, The
cardinal said: That is an error, The
policy OF the church is most wise, but
circumstances cause events. Perhaps it
is Gods will that the church shows how
it can overcome these apparently INCUR
mountable difficulties.
Lisbon, July 25. The GOODNESS Of the
relations between Portugal and the Vati-
can are much commented upon. Re-
Gently Cardinal Merry del Val wrote to
the Archbishop OF Braga, ordering the
suppression OF a Portuguese Franciscan
paper, which was done. The govern
ment regarded this as an infringement
OF its prerogatiyes, and the crown pub
Iished a royal decree censuring the
Vatican. The archbishop is now
organizing a clerical campaign to pre-
test against the decree. The Pope |
having refused to accept two eminent
politicians proposed as Portuguese
minister to the Vatican, the embassy is
now vacant and the cabinet has decided |
to leave it vacant pro TEN. The Seculo
says it is not impossible that the en-
bassy will be abolished.

COLONEL MOSBY.

Col. John S. Mosby denies that he

when shown the story published yester-
day in Washington in which it was

That the railroads of the country are
better off than they were year ago is
proved by their own reports for 1909,
abstracts of which are now before the
commerce commission, and from which
the commission has formulated its re-
port covering the year. The COM
mission finds that while receipts have in
creased more than $14, 900, 900, the ex-
penses during the same period decreased
$4,000, 900. The saving was not ef-
fected by reducing the number Of en-
ployes nor by reduction in wages, for
both we're increased. The result is at
tributed to better management as to
economy and efficiency and the in
creasing volume OF business.
