tence was excessive
1T has been decided that the courts
are powerless to render aid in this case,
and the only help which Brandt can now
get is through the exercise of executive
clemency.
COnfesses to His Sins
Brandt has confessed his sins. He
has told me the truth He appeals to
me for mercy. He gives positive assur-
ances that he will not hereafter offend
against the laws, and he promises to
lead an honest, a respectable and an in
dustrious life | want to give him a
chance to prove the sincerity of his prom

SELF
Brandt left Albany within two hours
after the pardon was placed in his hands.
After spending short time in Washing
ton with Senator Nelson, who stood spon-
sor for him at the hearing, Brandt will
go to Minnesota, where, among people of
his own nationality, and with the assist
ance of Senator Nelson, he says he will
endeavor to carry out Governor Sulzer' S
admonition to redeem yourself and start
life anew"

DUTY ON DIAMONDS
AROUSES MERCHANTS
Dutch Dealers Declare 20 Per Cent
Tariff VIII Foster Snug
Cling.

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 1.-THE dia.
mond merchants Of this city are in q
panic over the proposed 20 per cent
import duty on diamonds in the new
American tariff. The honest merchants
affirm that they Will no longer be abba
to sell to American dealers for the
reason that unscrupulous houses will
offer diamonds on the American mnYkot
which have been smuggled. The 30
per cent difference in the price Of
fhe smuggled and tho unsmuggled dia-
mond will, 1t is averred, allow the dis
honest houses to pay their agents well
for smuggling and yet take large
profit. The result from the American
customs standpoint Will, 1t is believed,
show that tho net revenue following
the passage Of ths bill Will be less
than IL was before under the 10 per
cent rate.
There arc, it Is esttmated here, 10000
diamond cutters IN tho world and ono
fourth Of these out diamonds for the
American market. But only 800 dia-
mond cutters are In the United States.
Some 10000 cutters are working here
and in Antwerp. Some thousands Of
these mon will be out Of work II the
American bill passes, temporarily at
least, because while the bill has been
pending tho surplus stock Of diamonds
has been exported 10 the United States.
These exports will meet the demands
Of the American market for from SIX
to nine months after the bill iB passed..

Special Cable to The Tribune.
n FADRD, Oct. lit may be, as
NH believed by many, that King
}SH Alfonso leads charmed life,
but Il reports are to be be-
ueved, there is curse upon the Span,
ish royul family despite the failure of
gay, young Spanish monarch. 1t is said
that the kings second daughter, lnfan-
ta Maria, like his majesty's second SON,
Don Jaime, will be deaf and dumb. This
has been officially denied, but so was
the deafness and dumbness Of the In
fauta Don Jaime when reports that he
was crippled were first circulated.
Pity poor Alfonsol Forever lodging
anarchists and maniacs. Ever uncer-
tain of just what moment another at
tempt may be made to kill him. Then,
in addition to this, which is enough to
make the average mans hair gray, he
has many other burdens and annoy
ances upon his shoulders, not to men
tion the many heavy cares Of state, In
tho face of all Of this, he somehow man
ages to remain blithesome and gay. al.
though 1t Is rumored about Madrid
that tho gayety Is kept on tap by his
Fears Mother-in-law.
One Of the young kings greatest
worries Is his mother law, the Prin-
cess Henry of Bnttenberg, who distinct
ly does not like or approve of Alfonso,
She considers him dissipated youth,
and II is said that the princess wants
her daughter, Queen Victoria, to leave
her royal husband. Alfonso ia said to
be genuinely, afraid Of his mother.in-
law On visit to Osborn cottage, Isle
Of Wight, several years ago, Alfonso
came into close contact with the Prin-
cess Henry and actually fled in ter
ror,
There Is another load on the kings
mind IN the shape Of his aunt, the In
fanta Eulnlia, who 10 living In Paris,
having long since repounoed court life,
The Infantn Is novelist. and has per-
sisted in writing things for publication
that the king did not approve of, Al
foDso has threntened to out off her al
lowance Of $4,000 a year, She has
done two things that horribly shocked
the Spanish court-approved In writing
of divorce aud woman suffrage.
Now comes one Of the worst shocks
