From the Toronto Telegram.
Britain's royal house will be at a
loss for royal families to marry into
when this war is concluded. German
royalties. even if the Hohenzollerns
are left on the throne. can never again
marry or be given i'm marriage with
kings or queens, princes or princesses
of Britains royal family. Royal fam
lilies of Germany and Of countries SYM
pathetic with Germany are excluded
from the list of candidates for we'd
lock with British royalties. Russia $
state church is on brotherly terms with
the Church of England. Religious diff
ference would not absolutely forbid a
Russo British royal marriage. Europe
is not the home of many royal houses
that are at once Protestant and pro-
British. Wars effect on future royal
marriages in Britain is more interest
ipg than important. British peoples are
now concerned with more awful and
momentous issues tns2 those related
to the intermarriage of royalties. Brit
ish princes and princesses for all time
to come will have to look elsewhere
than Germany for brides and bride

The civilizing influence of base ball

BENEFIT ASSESSMENTS
THEME Of CONFERENCE
Substitute for Tinkham Bill Relat-
ing to Street Extensions to
Be Considered.

Commissioner Brownlow and repre-
sentatives of the Board of Trade and
local real estate firms will confer to-
morrow over the framing of bill to be
proposed as a substitute for the Tink-
ham measure which would prevent
condemnation proceedings being insti-
tuted until appropriations for street inn
provements actually have been made.
William g. Henderson heads the
Board of Trade committee which has
suggested that, in lieu of the plan pro-
posed in the Tinkham bill, the District
Commissioners retain their present
powers in regard to instituting con-
demnation proceedings. but that the
payment of benefits assessed be post
poned until Improvement of the streets
are provided for or completed.
To Incorporate Suggestion.
1t is understood taht tomorrow's con-
ference is called for the purpose of
incorporating this suggestion into a
bill. The meeting is called for 1890
o'clock in Commissioner Brownlow's Of
fee. Among those who will participate
in the discussion. in addition to the
board of Trade representatives. VIII be
Harold L. Doyle. Charles a. Jones and
Charles \. Fairfax. representatives OF
local real estate firms.
Views of the Commissioners.
The Commissioners believe that pas
sage of the Tinkham bill, in its pres
ent form. practically would prohibit
the opening of any new streets. Even
if it should be possible to obtain an
appropriation for street Improvement
in advance of the institution of con-
demnation, the appropriation would
have to be spent during the fiscal year
for which it is made, whereas the con-
demnation proceedings might require
more than year, it is pointed out.
