The announcement was received with great favor, asthe Princess is very popular. After the Duke of Clarence and Avondale the next to person to the Prince of Wales in the line of direct succession is Prince George Frederick Ernest Albert of Wales, brother of the late Duke. He wa~ born June 3, 1865. He soon displayed a predilection for naval affairs, and after serving in minar capacities was appointed, in March, 1890, to the com- mand of the new gunboat Thrush. and while on this vessel he was attached to the British North American s uadron. In August, 1890, he was romoted to the rank of commander of Her ajesty’s fleet. Prince Tgeis popular, but it is known that he is not strong. There is talk of a match between him and the dead Prince's betrothed, but it is said he is already betrothed. If he should die without heirs it wonld come to pass that the baby girl of the Duke of Fife, who married the Princs of Wale's daughter, would be the successor to the throne. This would not please the royal family and its numerous connections, = for the Dnke is not of that rich, royal, blue blood distinguishing the ' wielders of England’s scepter. PRETTY PRINCESS MARY.

She has| three brothers, one of whom is a lieutenant in the Seventeenth lancery. Her marriage to the dead duke would have occurred February 27. is generally: agreed that haste will now be made in bring- ing about the marriage of Prince George to, remove the possibility of the Fife succession. | This possibility is not viewed with equani- mity by the members of the nobility, who believe that all the heirs to. the throne should be of the full blood royal. It is hinted very broadly thata marriage between Prince Gegrge and Princess Victoria Mary! of Teck will be arranged. The weekly paper, Modern. Society, however, asserted t at a marriage had already been Arfanged between Prince George and a daughter of Prince and Princess Christian.
