It is said that this princess Is showing a more serIous nature than in her youth since ( lie troubles of her native Spain hare becoino so severe. that .tlio long as- sociathon with Christina has modified 501110 of her ideas of ersonai royal responsibility , ideas readily natural perhaps to the dnugii- ter of the ex-Quecn Isabella , resident in Paris. of whom the common peopto in Spain speak carelessly as "our fat exiled repro- bate. ' The Infanta Isabella , who is now in ber47thi year. has been long widowed. liar hu band , the Conte de Girgentl , died twen- ty-soven years ago. She is older that : her sisterin-iaw Christina. and her devotion to the person and interests of her royal nephew Alfonso are unquestioned. The triple ahiianco , with Its iguohio vita- salage to Germany and Its hostility to Irrailce , has thrown upon Italy a military and naval burden she is entirely tunable to bear. Millions upon millIons of dollars have been smient upon armaments , while the peasants were emigrating. to AmerIca by thousands to escape starvation , and Sicily was out the verge of rebellion. The extreme of rrotectionisln has setUed upon the country - try that of all tiiers most needs a free coIn- mercial exchange. Internal taxation has been raised to it point whore the utmost labors of the poor , even under the happiest cIrcuunstance. are barely enough to keep body and soul together. Government om- dais have Increased In number , veliahity and wantonness of pillage. The district lIre- facts. who arc supposed to control the local councils nuid Juntas , have lapsed Into mere electioneerIng agents , and the councils tlienaselvcs have seized the chance to wailow In plunder and corruption. The people , in theIr despair , have run froln republicanism Into riot , ft-mn riot into rebellion , from re- behlion ifltO the Camorra , the Mafia and the Mala Vita. And all this that Crispi and iCing Humbert might point to the splendid Ironclads and the twelve army corps anti thaith heaven that Italy was still a power among the nations. It SCams qtiith certain that the schonle of the Austro-Hungariam : government to Increase - crease the emchency of tue imperial navy will meet. with stubborn opposition in. Hun- gory. Tlio report of the 1ilungarian budget committee , while approving generally Count Goluehowskl's foreign policy , is elfllhatlC on I this point. . It says that further sacrifices for naval purposes could 1oniy be demanded If property of proportionate value required protection. The value of Hungarian trade Is , and probably for a long time to come will continue to be , insignificant in those quar- toys where it could be protected by a fleet. It is quite out of proportion to ( lie suggested increase of tile navy. The report further questions whether an extensIon of Austrian export trade would diminish tim competitIon of Austrian industry in Hungary which mc- tarded tim growth of native manufactures. But , oven on the assumption that some tel- vantage might accrue to Hungary in the future , the cost of an increase of tile navy would iiow fall directly on ( ho shoulders of the heavily burdened Hungarian people , whese interest lies rather In a more active I development of trade and industry at borne. Thio report , which is signed by men of no less weight and rrominenco than the ox- premier of Hungary , M. Tisza , as president. and Dr. Max Falk as reporter , takes a purely llungariami point of view wIthout ref- ereaco to ( lie interests of Austria , One noteworthy passage in it points out that the relations betweenithe two countries are uo- settled and that. It Is by no means impoasi- blo that Hungary may be obliged before long to take advantage of her constitutional right. to regulate her politico-economic at- ( airs Independently of Austria. S. .
