Recorded in Rook Contain
ing Ancestiy of Child for'
Last 500 Years.
Madrid, May 10.—The queen of
Spain today gave birth to a son
and heir to the Spanish throne.
This is the first time in many
generations that the first child of
a king and queen of Spain has
been born a male.
The announcement from the im
perial palace that Queen Victoria
had presented her subjects with
an heir to the kingdom was hailed
with great enthusiasm by the
thousands who gathered about
the palace after the formal an
nouncement had been made.
Salute of 21 Guna.
As soon ns the sex of the child was
known, the waiting populace were no
tified by a salute of 31 guns fired from
the palace grounds.
Next to the enthronement of a king
the birth of a son and heir to the royal
parents Is the most Important ceremony
at the Spanish court.
• Following the custom of centuries,
the baby Is placed on a huge gold plate
Immediately after birth and presented
to Its father. The king himself ac
companied by Queen Victoria's. Span
ish arid English physicians on either
side, walks down a long lino of func
tionaries, all of whom bow profoundly.
King Announoes 8ex.
The king walks to where the prime
minister Is standing. After determin
ing the eex'of the child he announces:
"It Is a prince. Qod bless the prince.”
This Is the signal for prolonged ap
plause. Then the king still carrying
tho prince, walks through a long line of
ambassadors and exhibits the baby to
each of them tn turn. •
The next step In the unusual cere
mony Is the taking of the Infant to the
notary of the palace. He has a book In
which la recorded- the sex of the child,
the date, hour and place of its birth.
Tho book relates the ancestry of ths
child for the last (0.0 years.
Child Prasanted to Mother.
This task accomplished, the king
bands his son over to the mistress of
the robes. Then the little one Is taken
to Its magnificent layette and presented
to Its mother.
As soon as she Is able the queen pro
ceeds to the Church of the Atocha.
where she gives thanks for the birth of
her child. Then follows the baptism,
which Is accompanied with as much
pomp and ceremony as the birth of the
child.
More than one hundred Spanish
women have been working for months
on the baby's wardrobe. The christen
ing and presentation robes of the new
heir will be the same as those worn by
King Alfonso.
SPANISH MINISTER -
GETS NEWS OF BIRTH.
Washington, May 10.—Minister Pina
has made a statement, saying: "The
news brings much happiness to me. I
know It will be received with great
rejoicing throughout the kingdom. Our
people love the king and queen dearly.
It might be said a great prayer went
up throughout the country for the first
born of the happy couple to be a son."
Alfonso Wedded
Em May 31/06
The mother of the heir to the Span
ish throne was the English Princess
Victoria Ena, daughter of the Princess
Beatrice. She was wedded to King Al
fonso at noon May II, liOt. In the
church of San Oeronlmo In Madrid.
- The wedding was a great affair and
was attended by representatives of ths
Principal nations of the "world. Fully
1,300 persons ware crowded Into the
church to witness the ceremony.
Immediately after the wedding the
king and queen entered the royal coach
and were on the way to the palace,
when a bomb was thrown at the vehi
cle from a window of a house In the
Call© Mayor.
Twenty persons were killed, many
Injured and the royal coach wrecked.
The royal pair escaped unhurt. But for
a badge of the Portuguese Order of
Santiago, which he wore upon his
breast. King Alfonso doubtless would
have been killed. A piece of the bomb
struck the gold chain of ths Insignia
and glanced off.
Tho king appeared cool and Inalated
upon continuing the Journey to the
I>alacc In an open carriage that the
people who lined the atreeta might see
that he and the queen were unharmed.

Commission Thinks
Road Is Earning
Enough.
A straight cut of 10 per cent In the
freight rates of the Seaboard Air Line
was ordered by the railroad commis
sion Friday morning.
Heretofors the Seaboard has been In
Class C, permitting It to charge 25
per cent above tbe standard tariff. Sev.
era! weeks ago the railroad commis
sion decided that the road was earn
ing enough now to stand a cut. The
effect of the rule Is to put ths road
into Class B.
A hearing was ordered and offi
cials of the Seaboard appeared and
tried to show reasons why the rates
should not be slashed. However, the
commission has determined that the
line Is earning enough.now, and ts
sufficiently prosperous to authorise a
reduction In the rates.
The reduction on the Seaboard Is
the same as that ordered for the Geor
gia Southern and Florida, a short
time ago.

Bryan devotes an article In'the forth
coming Commoner to President Boose,

wood. Mr. Bryan censures the presi
dent by saying:
"It is strange It did not occur to him
that his caustic criticism of the ac

court and Jury than any edlogy pro
nounced by the friends of the accused.
No one should try to excuse tbe accused
If the evidence shuns they # committed
the murder, and no one s£o|ild want
to cnnvtc: them unless the evidence
establishes their guilt."
