Kins; Alfonso XIII was born May IT, 1886, not Quite sfx months after tha death of Alfonso XII. his father. During tha first nine years of his life ha waa almost exclusively un dor the rare of bla mother, tha queen re gent. Donna Maria Christina, a niece of the Emperor of Austria, and his child hood education waa confided to women teachers In the palace. II was taught thoae things which best befit a king to know, and learned to - speak, English, French, and German.' Mis health was very delicate. Few people supposed that GAMBLING DISCOVERIES IN CHIC. Igo. ,. -fHICAGO IN ITS INVESTIGATION of the ramlfloa , I . tion of the graft Is making some discoveries which appear to shock It. Heretofore It haa believed that the reason the police were not able to notice the establish ment of new gambling places was due entirely to a unique visual affection which troubled oply members of the po Uce force. It has now been discovered that the eyesight of the police was quite as good as that of other classes of cltlxena. but, wise In their day and generation, they only Mw those Infractions of the law which It was healthy for . them to see. A detective who appeared before the council committee a few days ago and gave much valuable Infor tnatlon about gambling, which he said came from a po liceman, refused to give the name of the officer. When asked why, he Answered: "I do not want to put him in a compromising position. It does him no good with the people that run the place. There Is great danger that he Would be 'Jobbed.' " The detective was then asked: "Do the officers fear the power of the gamblers?" and he re plied: "Yes, there la no use denying It. Both policemen and detectives fear this influence." , iTha Chicago Tribune, In Its editorial comment, hits the Center when It says: ' Officers who, In the discharge of their duty, inter fere with gamblers, have no occasion for fear, unless superior officers are the protectors of the gamblers. ' Then, indeed, the man who does .his duty is in danger. In that case only can the influence of the violators of r the law whom he has sought to bring to Justice be harmful to him. Statements made to the committee .'. by patrolmen indicate that there is an unholy alliance between gamblers and men high In rank in the police j department One patrolman testified that orders were given by the police to. keepers of gambling dens on State street to get out of the saloons they were doing ' business In. and move upstairs. Whoever gave the ' order was determined to let gambling continue, but less .publicly. The same officer testified that "patrolmen i who get busy get removed." When patrolmen under- stand that, it Is no wonder they cannot see gambling, s no matter how openly it is carried on. 5 In all such cases the responsibility gets back to those in real authority. This is perfectly apparent in cases like Portland, where the alliance between the gamblers and the municipal authorities is brazenly open and justified on the ground of the commercial advantages which It Is alleged to afford. In Portland when a man wants "to do business, as it is technically expressed, he is told to "see Hunt," who, as chief, has the matter exclusively in his own hands It Is he who assesses the lines, causing one outfit to pay more and another less for precisely the same privileges, who makes fish of the Chinese artists in gambling enter prises and flesh of some of their white brethren, who, when the gambling trust finds an unexpected growth out side its .own sacred precincts, gets the wink so that the chief may promptly increase the amount o the seml - monthly fine, which serves as a gentle reminder to those concerned that while it may be permissible for them to remain on earth, it is not advisable for them to get so gay hat the profits of the trust will be eaten into. It is the same mighty authority which keeps out the enterprising gambler from abroad who is anxious to get into the swim, not be It understood because the chief has any moral scruples on the subject, but because he is in the business to protect the trust In its laudable effort to ex ploit the town. - Chicago has not progressed as far as Portland In this direction; neither has any other American town. There Is no subterfuge about us. We are In open, self-confessed alliance with the gamblers. Under the terms of the con tract they are permitted to rob the public on a grand lar ceny scale, provided they permit the city to rob them on a petty larceny scale. That permission granted, they are guaranteed a monopoly". The chief is satisfied. He is pleased because he Is an autocrat arid autocrats generally manage to have a good thing and he doubtless is no shock ing exception to the general rule. The mayor Is satisfied because the city gets a little revenue. The grafters are satisfied because, whatever may be said to the contrary, their little perquisites tre not interfered with. The police are content because their duties being so clearly defined they need never take any chances. The public,, we have reason to believe, is not quite so well satisfied, but appar ently this makes no difference to anybody and least of all to the gambling trust and their official standby, Chief of I Police Hunt. the saloon raanrta nnl tn tha detriment I and . nhvalolon - . , . ..I , tha receiving an appropriation from the state, instead of the of soma poor country chap to get him I household.

THE PRESIDENT AND PANAMA. r In T IS NOT IMPROBABLE that the president's tentative recognition of Panama may overshadow ln Interest the real purpose for which the special session of congress was called. The general public is not too heartily approving his action and wants to know all about the motives which act uated him before it does. The desire to get back at Co lombia was human and therefore natural, but this of It self will satisfy no one who seeks a sufficient reason well informed circles in Washington there has never been any real difference of opinion over the merits of the two canal schemes. It was an open secret during the last sett s!on that those who were in their hearts bitterly opposed to any scheme of canal construction invariably favored the Panama route. They did this for the scarcely concealed purpose of defeating or indefinitely postponing canal con structlon. There Is something more than a susploion that American agents had much to do with bringing about the results In Colombia. In that way they secured delay and might. It was suspected. Induce such disgust among the American people as to attain their real purpose, though by Indirection. Panama in all its tortuous history has been a stench ln the nostrils of the wide world. It doesn't Improve with age.' All Europe is looking askance at our latest undertak ing there. It will undoubtedly cause a muss in congress and furnish the enemies of the president ammunition against him which they will not hesitate to use as effec tlvely as they know how. (Marks. Or., Nov. 9.

District Attorney Jerome Beady to right Tammany. From the Detroit Journal. "If they think they are going to have an open town they have made the d , biggest mistake of their lives." With this forceful language. William Travers Jerome, Fuslonlst district attor ney of New York, whose term of office lasts two years more, has flung the glove of defiance full into the faces of the boodlers, toughs and procurers who hope to profit by Tammany's victory. Jerome, in fact, will be a thorn ln the flesh of the tiger, and everybody who knows the man looks forward to strenu ous times. I am going after the gamblers and the dlvekeepers and I am going to get the evidence," he continued, his eyes blazing. "I can get money. If this city wants the spectacle of its district at torney applying for private funds for purposes of enforcing the laws, that spectacle will be shown. I can get all the money I want I don't want to be complaining, for I believe that the old board reduced the amount of my con tingent fund In an endeavor to keep down the budget. ' But I am a constitu tional officer and must do my duty. I will be compelled to Incur debts, and the people will have to sue the city to get their money." It Is this same Jerome who knew New York so well that he opposed tho renominatlon of so "unlovable" a man as Mayor Low and predicted his defeat. Nevertheless, he pitched Into the cam. palgn, and no one worked harder' than he for Low's election.
