(New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) Tho Vatican Is deeply concerned over the announcement of th proposed marriag of King Alfonso of Spain with hi first cousin, Princess Maria del Pilar. Through the Spanish am bassador the church authorities hav been sounded aa to their opinion regarding th union and the reply given by Cardinal del Val, after consultation with the pops, has been rather discouraging to the promoters of the match. From the point of view of Cathollo Interests It Is considered highly desirable that the young king of 8paln should contract an. early alliance with a Catholic princess, In order to Insure a suc cession to the throne and prevent the pos sibility of a mixed marriage with a Protestant However, It Is felt at the Vati can that both the king and his proposed bride are too young yet to require the ex preaslon of th official sanction of the Vatican to their marriage, while the dell cato state of the king's health and the danger to the progeny generally result ing from marriages between cousins have led 'the pope to discourage the prbposed union. In case tho Bpanlsh authorities should persist In the announcement of tho en gagement a dispensation will be granted and the fee exacted by the Roman con gregations will be no less than 125,000. A fee, no matter how small. Is always charged for dispensation from marriage impediments resulting from blood relation ship, but in the case of reigning princes this fee is enormously Increased, In order o discourage such violations of the rules of the church. An Austrian princess, who recently contracted marriage with a dis tant relative, waa taxed flS.OOO for tha dispensation, and in the oase of a king th feea will be Increased In proportion. Tho money received from these dispensa tions Is paid to th dataria, which issues the document granting the permission, and the greater part of It goes to defray the expense and salaries of. th officers of tha curia, DlsUke Sedla Gestatorta. A good story la being told tn the Vatican regarding tho aversion of Pius X to be carried In the sedla gestatorla or portable throne, which la nsad by the pope in all solemn functions. ' Plus X has not made use of this throne slnoe -his coronation, and went to the last consistory on foot, hum bly following th slow pace of the proces sion, surrounded by tha noble guards and by the prelates in attendance. ' Plus X explained to his confidantes that on tho day of his coronation, sitting 1n the sedla ges tatorla so high over the shoulders of his bearers, the undulations and th acclaim ing multitude produced In him a feeling of dlsxlnes amounting almost to vertigo and that ha had to clutch firmly tho arma of his thron to prevent himself from falling, aa no one waa near enough to assist him in case h fainted. H added that tha gondolaa of Venlc were safer in comparison. - - , In order to systematise th Vatican ad ministration and to prevent th many Ir regularities which had been found to exist under th lata pope. Plua X has decided to enlist the service of a prominent layman at present at tho head of tha Banco Italy, who will, aa an expert be In a position to safeguard mora carefully the patrimony of St Peter. Mgr. Maraolinl, th con fldeiitlal financial agent of th lata pope. who had In hla custody most "of tha treas ures of the Vatican, has been dismissed In disgrace because of tho Irregularities discovered In th bonks of th financial department of th Holy See. The pope has received th committee or ganised for the celebration cf th Jublle of the immaculate conception and has ex pressed hi gratification, at being Informed that Catholic all over the world will join In the celebration. The Osservatoro Romano states that on th occasion of tha Jubilee a crown of dia monds, obtained by publlo subscription, will be presented to th pope for the purpose of solemnly crowning the statue of th Immaculate virgin. In St Peter's. Th coat of the crown will be at least $100,000.

Th sudden 1 death In Paris of Lord Ablnger, otherwise James Yor.ke MacGreggor Bcarlett, fourth Baron .Ablnger, has revived a story told of his Indifference to evil omens.

In the new Domesday book .Lord Ablnger was returned as the owner of cvr 40,000 acres of land, of which the rent amounted to $23,690 a year. Lady Ablnger, his mother, was, the first Amer ican to,' become a British peeress. Her marriage took place forty years ago, her husband, a Crimean veteran, having met her when taking part In the Canadian campaign Of 1S62. Lady Ablnger has be come, to all Intents and purposes, an Eng lish woman. She belongs to the more thoughtful and cultivated portion of so. clety aud Is very fond of country life and country pursuits.
