A MODERN KINO.
Alfoaao of Isala Brldeadr lataaa
to Kara That Title.
With youth In bla favor and his In
terest In all forma of progreM, Al
fonso of Spain may yet earn the title
01 "most modern of kings." It will be
remembered that when Edward VII.
came to the British throne there was
uopo In many quarters that he would
abollah much of the antiquated cere
nlony that has clung to the functions
of royalty. But In this there has been
disappointment Edward, though an
experienced and broad-minded prince,
was past mlddlo age at the tlmo of
his accession, and his democratic ten
dencies have not been powerful enough
to bring about tho much-needed reform.
If Alfonso is determined to, be a mod
ern king, It may bo his privilege to
simplify tho complication of court life.
and do much effective work for his peo
ple, says a writer In the Cosmopoli
tan. Those familiar with present condi
tions In European states will realize
that the rolo of a constitutional king
In Spain Is difficult and ungrateful to
play. The country has not yet recov
ered from a bad despotism, and In Do
ll tlcal life there Is much tent) purified.
Tho young ruler has so far attempted
no great part In the game of world
politics, but bo has had several oppor
tunities of displaying his tact and
strength of will at home. The down
fall of the unpopular Maura ministry
was brought about through his person
al Intervention. Senor Maura and his
associates were backed by a Cortes thkt
was very reactionary and did not.falr
ly represent the people. The latter be
gan to rear that their ruler would
come under tho Influence of the un
popular and unrepresentative govern
ment Now, a King of Spain has no
politics and must give no expression
of iMjrsoual leaning. But Alfonso be
gan to mnkn frequent vlants to tho Uni
versity of Madrid, where tho professors
wero avowedly republicans, and this
courso of conduct gave great assur
ance to his people. Finally thcro aroso
the necessity for the apjralntmcnt of tho
chief ot stnlT. Tho ministerial candi
date was distasteful to tho King be
cause another better deserved tho post
AlfoiiKo absolutely refused to sign the
decree and tho ministers wero compell
ed to hand In their resignations. This
act wus much criticised by tho vol It 1
clnus of Europe, but It brought vast
comfort to tho hearts of the Spaniards.
They knew that at last they had a
modem King.
MINING FRAUDS IN BRAZIL.
Country is Full of Schemes to Obtain
Money of Gullible.
Washington, Julj 17. Consul Gen
eral George E. Anderson, in a report to
the bureau o( manufacturers from Rio
Janeiro, charges that while some bona
fide Rrazilinn diamond mines may re
Bult profitably, that country is full of
schemes which are either out-and out
frauds or are baaed on claims and facts
to slight as to make them little less
than frauds.
The report eays the United States
and Great Britain, especially New
York. Chicago and London, are the
chief financial base ol operations for a
number of promoters, who have never
done any mining, and that there are a
number ol so-called mining companies
now soliciting stock subscriptions in
tho United States whoso officers are not
even certain where the land they claim
as property lies.
The report states that experienced
men in Brazilian mining fields say that
not a single mining company operating
in the gold and diamond fields of Brazil
has paid a dividend. The consul gen
eral adds that It is a lamentable fact
that a large proportion of the Brazilian
mining enterprises are rands and that
there are now men of the United States
with enterprises which represent noth
ing more than the money they can get
from the American public.

On one occaslou, while staying at tho
Austrian buths ut Teplltz In 1810, ho
was Informed by oue of his gonernla In
attendance that there was sojourning
at Tepllts a Hungarian magnate equal
ly celebrated for his taciturnity. Tho
king eipressed the desire to see him by
means of tho brief command, "llrlng
him!"
An Interview was arranged without
the Hungarian being Informed of the
Identity of the elderly German officer
whom ho was about to meet
The king began the conversation with
the monosyllabic Inquiry, "Bathst" to
which tho other replied, equally brief
ly, "Drink," meaning, of course, that
he took the waters Internally.
"Mllltalrer continued the king, wish
ing to know if the Magyar was au otll

other responded, shaking his bead,
"Magnate," that being the title given
to tho members ot the Chamber of Peers
at Budapest.
"Ahl" said tho king.
"General" Inquired the magnate.
"King," said Frederick William III.,
by way ot Indicating his rank.
The Hungarian uoblemau doffed his
bouuet, aud with tho word "Compli
ments," bowed and withdrew.
Tho king himself saluted, and thus
brought to a close oue of the most la
conic Interviews that have ever tnkeu

Congress Will Know What la the Ef
fect of Age.
Washington, July 17. Ihe bureau
of chemistry, Agricultural department,
is to carry on a series of testa this sum
mer to ascertain definitely whether
canned meats deteriorate. One of the
blttor contentions ovor the meat In
spection amendment to tho agricultural
appropriation bill hinged on the aenato
requirement that packers should place
the unto ot manufacture on each can of
meat.
The packers, however, insisted that
this naa unwarranted, becauao they
claimed that meat, once put up in air
tight cans, would last forever. They
declared that canned meat was as good
in ten years as it was in ten days, and
they brought to bear testimony of an
official of the department to corroborate
their statements. Some members of
congress had their doubts about this,
however, so it baa been decided to make
a thorough investigation and find out
whether the packers were correct or
not.
