The republican government of Portugal has granted Manuel a pension of $3.- 300. a month, but this is not sufficient (for the needs of the young man, who still retains the title of King and maintains a retinue in kingly fashion. Manuel was boro on November 16. 1880, and hence is a year and a half older than his bride. While he was sitting on the throne of Portugal it was believed that he would marry an English girl. In. the fall of 1909, on a trip to England, it was expected that he would ask for the hand of Princess Patricia of Connaught or of Alexan dra, Hie present pitches* of Fife, who will be married to Prince Arthur of Connaught in October. There was a rumor of the possibility of his mar riage to the daughter of the Kaiser, who recently married the heir of the Duke of Cumberland. Manuel, by courtesy of the mon archal courts of Europe, retains h!s rank as King, and his bride is entitled to be called "qubse” and addressed a* ' Your Majesty.” The Princess will alao be .known as the Royal High ness Duchess of Saxony.” The castle at Sigmaringen, the home of the bride and scene of the wedding ceremony to-day, was grant ed to the senior branch of the Hohen zollerns by Emperor Charles V In 1634 It previously had belonged to the DeMontfort and Werdenberg fam ilies, hotfl of which became extinct. Married on Portuguese Soil. The castle is grouped around a tow er of Roman construction dating from the early Christian era. Its various owners have tried to make it both a castle and a palace. It has the ram parts, bastion*, towers and battle ments of a castle and all the dainti ness and magnificence of a palace. Its galleries contain many of the most famous art treasure* of Europe, in cluding serveral old masters, statuary, enamels, ancient arms and historic relics of every conceivable descrip tion. The castle is perched on a rocky eminence-overlooking the Danube. Manuel was married on Portuguese soil, for a sack of earth had been sent from Lisbon for him to stand on dur ing the ceremony. Manuel is related to the present Kings of Italy and England. His grandmother was a sister of the late King Humbert of Italy, and his great grandfather was the uncle of the Prince Consort, husband of Queen Victoria and father of Edward VII. in the assassination of Carlos and his son was the culmination of the cor rupt government and intolerably heavy taxes instituted by Carlos upon his accession to the throne in 1889. King Manuel, during his short reign, had no time to change the order of government, and his deposition in 1910 was due to political causes rather than to his extravagances and fond ness for ladies of the stage, ap some are inclined to attribute it. The names of Vialceva, the Russian danc er, and Gaby Deslys were frequently mentioned with that of the young King, however. After his flight from Portugal with hi* mother.

SIGMARINGEN. GERMANY, Sept. 6.—Royalists of Portugal, who, ever since King Manuel and Queen Mother Amelia fled before the Republican up rising in 191ft, have fondly hoped for the restoration of the monarchy, have hdd their hopes raised to the highest pitch by the marriage of Manuel to Princess Augufctlna Victoria of Ho henzollern, which took place here on Thursday. They believe, not only that the wedding of the youthful leader of their cause, will cement feeling In Portugal in his favor, but they re ceive vast encouragement in the fact that through the representation of every royal house of Europe at the ceremony, formal recognition was given to Manuel as the rightful ruler over the nation whose people deposed him. The kinshin of Manuel to the rul ing house of England and the fact tnat the bride, though but distantly related to the Kaiser, bears the family name of the German war lord is looked upon as tremendously ad vantageous. should the Portuguese royalists once mor« take up arms and endeavor to overthrow the republic I and one© more establish the throne. The ceremony was performed ac cording to the Roman Catholic ritual and was conducted by Cardinal Nette, forpier Archbishop Patriarch of Lis bon. Brilliant Royal Gathering. There was a brilliant gathering of princes and princesses. Among them were the Prince of Wales, represent ing King George of England; Prince Eitel Frederick, representing Emper or William of Germany; Prince and Princess Henry XXXIII of Reusw. Princess Friedrich of Hohenzollern, Prince Carol and Princess Elizabeth. Also among the 75 guests were the Duke of Montpensier. w ho declined to be King of Albania; Queen Mother Amelia of Portugal; the Infante and Infanta Carlos of Spain, representing King Alfonso; the Duke and Duchess of Coburg, the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden, the Duke of Opor to of Portugal, uncle of ex-King Man uel; the Duke and Duchess I')’Aosta of Italy, representing King Victor Emmanuel; Prince William of Hohen zollern. famer of the bride, and Count August Eulenburg. grand marshal to the reigning Hohenzollern family in Germany. Enormous crowds of townspeople and strangers began gathering around the castle early in the day. Prince William had great tables set along the roadway filled with good things to eat and drink and all were invittd to help themselves. Many foreign tourists, Americans and others, who happened to be in the neighborhood, drove into the picturesque little vil lage hoping to get*a peep at some of the distinguished guests and maybe at Manuel himself. Civil Ceremony Performed. Before the religious rites a civil ceremony was conducted by Count August Eulenburg. who is empowered to conduct such functiona by reason of the high office he holds. Prince Augustine was given away by her father. Four royal princesses were bridesmaids. The hride wore a white satin gown with a long train and trimmed with lace, which has been in the family for many decado* Sigmaringen Castle is a picturesque spot, settling high on a rocky prom ontory above the Danube. From its w indows can be seen a mighty stretch of uplands, running down to the wooded banks of the Danube, so old in song and story. The wedding gifts cost a fortune. The royalists of Portugal collected $2ft,ftftft and sent some handsome plate; the bridegroom presented his bride with a costly string of pearl?, King George and Queen Mary of Eng land sent a silver dinner service, and Queen Mother Alexandria of England sent a gold wine service. Although ex-King Manuel and his bride are bound by blood ties. th5 re lationship is somewhat distant and offered no obstacle to the marriage. The paternal grandmother of Prin cess Augustlna Victoria was the In fanta Antonia of Portugal, sist r of Manuel’s grandfather, King Luis of Portugal. Distant Kin to Kaiser. The Princess is the only datigntcr of Prince William, the head of the non-reigning line of Hohenzollerns, who live in Suabla in southern Ger many and still adhere to the Catholic faith. The relationship between this line of Hohenzollerns and the line of which the Kaiser is the head is very remote, and it is necessary .o go back for hundreds of years to trace it The mother of the Princess is Prin cess Marie Therese of Bourbon-Bicily, only daughter of the late Prince Louis of Bourbon, Comte de Trani, who was a younger brother of the last King of Naples. Prince Louis’ widow* still livl.-g and one of the two sur viving sisters of the murdered Em press of Austria. Princess Augustins Victoria’s great-grandfather was Prince Charles Anthony of Hohenzol lern, a close friend of Napoleon 111. Until 1849, Prince Charles Anthony I and the other Suabian line, the Hoh- J enzollerns of Hechingen, exercised sovereign rights over their respective dominions, but in the revolutionary 1 wave which swept Europe in that year they surrendered their Fover^ngmies | to the Crown of Prussia, in return f <r a perpetual annuity from the Prus sian treasury. Precipitated Prussian War. Prince Charles Anthony, after sur rendering his sovereignty to Prussia, devoted himself to railroad construc tion and became one of the railroad j kings of Germany. His eldest son, j Leopold, married the Infanta Anto-lj nia of Portugal, and in 1870 became a candidate for the throne of Spain, ' from which Isabella had been driven, j It was his election to that throne, which he declined, which precipitated the Franco-Prussian War. His ; brother Charles had already been elected to the throne of Roumania, .n j 1866. King Charles of Roumania lost i his only child, a daughter, when she i was quite young, and selected as hi3 ! heir apparent his nephew, Princess i Augustina Victoria’s father, Prifi.ce V, William, the son of his brother Leo pold. Prince William was duly proclaimed Crown Prince of Roumania, but after residing in Bucharest for three years decided that he liked neither the country nor the people, and re nounced his rights of succession and returned to Slmaringen, where he has since lived. Thus but for a whim Manuel’s bride would be a princess royal of the reigning house of Roumania. King Charles then selected Prince Ferdi nand, another nephew, and a brother of Prince William, to fill the place vacated by the latter. The princess’ full name is Augus tins Victoria Wllhelmina Antoinet* • Mathilda Ludwiga Josephine Maria Elizabeth, and she was born 22 year3 ago in Potsdam. History Is Tragic. The history of ex-King Manuel’s ancestors in Portugal is a bloody one. His great-grandfather. King Pedro, and his wife died suddenly of a Uliriiuiiiin iw m ■ . » ' . . .. * i . > oin ceeded by hiH nephew, King Luis, grandfather of Manuel.

Ferdinand died the next day, but King Luis recovered, though throughout his entire life he has never been able to ‘id himself of the effects of the poison. The woman was never brought to trial, but was compelled to spend the remainder of her life in a convent. King Luis was succeeded by his son Carlos, who, together with his eldest son, ‘ 'rown Prince Luis Philippe, was assassinated iu the streets of Portugal in February, I9ft8, and thus the right of succession devolved upon Manuel, the second non of King Car- 1.
