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.

jaroterabio that an administration eunamuating

tion of Prince George of Greece Is not a
