So far as 1t is possible to ascertain
from the relatives and friends Of Will

the crown of Albania by IA sense OF
duty. Ii seems that not merely the
principal statesmen of the Triple ALI

OF Europe to avert the probability Of
Albania becoming the cause Of another
war in the Balkans. of IA war that would
be likely to eliminate in general
European conhagration.
These arguments weighed heavily
with William of WED. Without being
| prig, he is very conscientious, and
| would not dream of Sinking anything
that was presented to him in the light
| of duty. The Albanian enterprise was
pressed upon him as a mission, and as
| such he felt that he had no right to
decline 1t. That is why he has accepted

but with good deal OF earnestness
and some little hesitation. How little
he hankercd after the role Of King
is made clear by the stipulations which,
before he signitcd his acceptance OF
the throne, he made with the great
Powers regarding his civil list and
concerning the provision to he assured
to his wife and child II anything UNI
toward happened to him.
William is no needy advcnturcr, no
penn!less German princelct. ready to
jump at any fat dignity that comes
his way. He has nothing in common
with Napoleon Ill. before he became
Emperor Of the French. with Peter
KarageorGcvitch before he became
King of Servia or with the late Don
Carlos before he inherited the immense
fortune Of his first wife's uncle and
aunt, the Comic and Comtesse de
Chambord. His own income amounts
To some $4,000 year. while his wife
has as much more. Moreover, her
wealth bids fair to receive a consider
able increase.
She owns extensive estates In Ru

oil wells there. She Inherited these

Nine. Cantacuzene. her co-heir being

in order To apply them to the property

The greater part of the Princess's

1t is constantly visited by steamers
from Austrian and Italian ports, and
played very important part in the
wars between the Normans and the
Byzantines in the eleventh and twelfth

The head of the provisional Govern
ment, who has had considerable share
in bringing about the election of Will
lam Of WED, and who undoubtedly will
become his Prime Minister after he
takes possession of the throne. is Is
mail Renal Bey, near seventy years Of
age, personally acquainted with the
Premers and foreign Ministers of the
various Great Powers Of Europe, and a
descendant of the famous Ali Pasha of
Janina. who IA hundred years ago nearly
succeeded in establishing an indepe nd
ent Albanian state. He belongs t. one
of the foremost Albanian families. that
of the Nloras, which counts among its
other members the eX-Grand Nizier
Ferid Pasha, and one of whose younger
members married "A couple of years ago

Renal in his younger days was
