Match Between Ring Manuel and
• Alexandre of Fife Vetoed by
King Edward.
One young woman in England at
least is deeply interested in the
Portuguese revetetion. -That is
Princess Alexandra of Fife, the
niece of King George, who, if her
mother and the esueen mother cf
Portugal had had their way, WOUiCi
have been Queen of Portugal be-
fore this. Perhaps if she had,
Manuel would not have lost his
throne, fax the Portuguese people
are keenly alive to the value of the
alliance with England and the great
trade in port wine and fruit white
they do with Great Britain, says a
London letter.
When Manuel came to England
.about a year ago he came wife hunt
ing and kis thole() was Princees
Alexandra. His mother, whose
friendship with the Duchess of Fife
dates from their school -girl dayi",
was keenly anxious that the inaten
should be arranged, and the Duen-
ess of Fife was equally eager to
unite the two houses, but King ]td -
ward and the Duke of Fife vetoed
the match. The sate King had a
veritable flair fax politics anal he
felt, rather than enew, that Man-
uel's throne was shaky, while the
Duke of Fife, who is a Scotchnian,
and has all the Scetehman's canni-
ness, didn't see the force of an al-
liance with one of the
POOREST KINGS IN EUROPE.
Since then there have been rum-
ors about Princess Alexandra's
marriage to Prince Christopher, 0310
of the younger sons of Prince
George of Greece'but this has been
vigorously denied. The chief foun-
dation for it seems to rest in the
tact time Prime's Christopher is the
favorite nephew or Queen Alexan-
dra and she would like to see him
make a match with a girl so wealthy
as her granddaughter is sure. to be.
The feet is that Princess Alex-
andra's future is a good deal of is
problem to the royal family, She
is a niece el the King, of tours°,
but she is also the daughter of the
man who is known as the bourgeois
duke. The Duke of Fife was mere-
ly an eael before his marriage to
the late Ring Edward's elanghter,
andlie has never been received as
an equal by the highest aristocracy.
This is perheps les own fault, for
he is notoriously srugal, although
Ito is one of the wealthiest men in
the kingdom. and as a result he is
far from popular'.
His daughter will be one of the
richest of heiresses and he will be
