London, Nov 25.-Queen Alexandra,
after eighteen months Of widowhood and
seclusion, is at last opening Sandringham
House to a big party, which is to take

mennonite her sixty-seventh birthday.
The party will include King Haakon and
Queen Maud of Norway, ex-King Man
ueL Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll,
and Prince and Princess Christian. The
court jester for the occasion will be the
guese Minister. The Austrian Ambassa-
dor, Count Albert Mensdorff, is also ex-
pected to amuse the ladies.
Princess Henry of Battenberg will re-
main In England only two days, and then
hurry to Spain to be with her daughter,
Queen Victoria Eugene, for an interest
ing and almost annual event.
Meanwhile little Princess Mary is very
depressed at the absence Of her mother,
Queen Mary. She is staying at York
cottage, Scandinavian, under the eye of
Grandma Alexandra.
Princess Patricia of Connaught, the
prettiest member of the royal family, is
back in London after long visit to her
sister, the Crown Princess of Sweden. She
tells her intimates that she breads leav-
ing England to join her parents in
Canada, but she sails carly in December
on the Empress of Ireland, the same
steamer that took the Duke and Duchess
of Connaught. Princess Patricia is de-
voted to outdoor sports, and will enjoy
the skating and tobogganing at Ottawa.
At the same time she Will miss the in
formal dances in London which are con-

or less unconventional life which she is
said to lead here.

Gently. The princess has several great
American friends, including Mrs. Mon

Sheriden, formerly Miss Frewen, but
there seems no immediate prospect of
her joining them lin the ranks of ma
irons. She absolutely declines to enter
tain any matrimonial schemes since her
one great romance with a member of
her fathers suite was iipped in the
bud, her then sutton afterward marrying
an heiress. She won't hear even of the

NEW CAFE FOR BERLIN.
PaIatiaI New Restaurant to Be
Called - PiccadIIIy.


Special Gable TO The Washington Herald.
Berlin, Nov. 25.-Berlin, the city of
cafes and music, Is shortly to have an
other palatial establishment in which
visitors may sip their coffee or light Ger
man beer and listen to the music Of we'll
trained orchestras any hour in the twen-
ty-four. The new popular palace, situated
in the Potsdamer Platz, in the heart of
the city, is to be called the Piccadilly,
and some idea of its gigantic size is af-
forded by the fact that the proprietor
will pay a yearly rental of $4,000 for his
premises
The interior furnishing will be of the
most luxurious description. Each single
chair, of which there will be hundreds IN
the building, will cost SIS, and will be
modelled after the furniture of a we'll
known royal castle. No fewer than 100, 00O
electric lamps will illuminate the great
building at night, and four orchestras,
playing In relays Of six hours each, will
render never-ceasing music for the en-
ioyment of patrons

Berlin. Nov. 25.-The Socialists over
wtelming triumph at the approaching
general election for the Reichstag on
January Il, 1912, is predicted by a special
commission of Investigators sent out by
the government to ascertain the electoral
prospects throughout the country. At
present the Socialist deputies in the
Reichstag number so out Of total Of 397,
but the government commission predicts
that the elections will produce 80 So

manding position by combination with
Liberals. -...
The confidential report to the Kaiser

NEW ARMoR PLATE TESTED.
Lighter Than Krupp's, but OF Great
Resisting Power.

Berlin, Nov. 25.-An entirely new kind
of armor plate which as just been tested
by the naval authorities and reported
upon favorably, has been invented by q
German engineer named Schaumann.
Although very much lighter than the
Krupp armor. it is said to be Of equal. II
not greater. resisting power. The. armor
is made up OF a special aluminium alloy
faced by a thin hardened steel plate.
Gun shields Of 1t have been definitely
ordered for the new cruiser Strasburg,
and its extensive employment is antici-
pated. At present 1t is considered doubt
full whether the new system Of armor
is applicable to the belt armor OF battle
ships, which have to stand the shocks
Of heavy projectiles as well as face pene-
tration, but 1t is expected to be extremely
useful for armor-belting small vessels.
More important still, the system Is likely
to be found applicable to destroyers with
out appreciably reducing their speed-the
thing that has always defeated all at
tempts to armor destroyers in the past.

NEW V0LTAIRE MSS. FOUND.
Rare Volumes Discovered in Bava-
rian State Library.

Munich, Nov. 5.-While searching the
Bavarian State Library the other day
Prof Jordan came across a number OF
manuscripts by Voltaire, which the
philosopher of Ferney had given to the
eIector of Bavaria. It is said that
Charles Theodore Q724-17sD endeavored in
vain to induce Voltaire to take up his
residence at the Bavarian court. Had
Voltaire done so We should have been
deprived of the entertaining, but humil-
iating incidents associated with his
friendship with Frederick the Great.
Among the manuscript now discovered
are those of 'Pucelle," ''Essai sur Phis-
toire Universelle," and ''Tancrede."
These manuscripts are said to differ SEN
sibly from accepted versions.

Germany in Congo, However.
Paris, Nov 25.-While a general relief
is being felt that the Morocco question
has been settled, the opinion exists in
parliamentary circles that the truce with
Germany will not be of long duration,
owing principally to the points Of con-
tact between the two nations in the
Congo. They are almost certain to lead
to strife.
There seems no doubt that Parliament
will ratify the agreement without en-
thusiasm. The chamber will certainly re-
fleet the new spirit Of confidence in the
country, and a lively debate is anticipated
on the Congo portion, but the Morocco
arrangement is sure of large majority.
1t is considered that the new instrument
contains the germ of a conflict with
Spain, whose attitude precipitated the
German incursion at Agadir.
