AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.-Emperor Franz Josef I. has a civil list of 18,600,000 crowns ($3,750,000), onehalf of which is paid to him as Emperor of Austria out of the revenues of Austria, the other half as King of Hungary out of Hungarian revenues. BADEN.-The civil list and appanager is 1.855,699 marks ($360,000).

BELGIUM.-King Leopold's civil list is 3,500,000 francs ($665,000). DENMARK.-The civil list of the King is 500,000 rigsdalers (2-crown piece, $240,000), and in addition the heir apparent has an allowance of 60,000 rigsdalers ($28,800).

The Royal Crown treasure, founded by King Friedrich Wilhelm III., and now consisting of a capital of more than six million marks, is at his disposal, as is also the family Fideikommiss, which was also founded by Fredrich Wilhelm, for the benefit of princes to be born afterward, and the House Fideikommiss of the Hohenzollern family. As the result, it is impossible even to approximate his income from all sources. GREAT BRITAIN.-In Great Britain the provision for the support of the royal household is made after the commencement of each reign. On July 2, 1901, therefore, the civil list of the King was fixed at £470,000 ($2,284,200), which was divided as follows: In the privy purse of the King and Queen, £110,000; for salaries of the royal household and retirement allowances, £125,800; for household expenses, £193,000; for works, £20,000; for alms, £13,000; unappropriated. £8,000.

The heir apparent also derives a large income from the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall. GREECE.-By the act of the National Assembly of 1863 the civil list was established at 1,125,000 drachmai, an amount to which the Governments of Great Britain, France and Russia have each added £4,000, making the total income of the King of Greece £52,000, or about $260,000. Since the attainment of the majority of the heir apparent, in 1866, the Government has given him a separate allowance of 200,000 drachmai ($37,000). ITALY.-The civil list is 15,050,000 lire ($2,859,500), but out of this an allowance of 400,000 lire ($76,000) is paid to the children of the late Duke of Aosta and an equal amount to the Duke of Genoa. LIPPE.-The reigning house is supported by the revenues arising from the Domanium, farms, forests, etc., which constitute the indivisible and inalienable estate of the ruling Prince.

PORTUGAL.-The combined grants to the members of the royal family aggregate 525,000 milrels ($567,000). Of this sum the King receives 335,000 milreis ($394,200), the Queen consort 60,000 milreis ($64,800). ROUMANIA.-The King receiveз an aual allowance of 1.185,185 lei ($201.482) in addition to the revenue from certain Crown lands. The grant to the heir apparent is 300,000 lei ($51,000). RUSSIA. There is no civil list, but the Cz in possession of the enormous revenues which are derived from the crown domains, which include mo than a million square acres of cultivated lands and improved forests, as well as several of the mines in Siberia. SAXE-COBURG AND GOTHA.-The Duke receives about 100,000 marks ($20,000) out of the income of the Gotha domains and one-half the excess of revenue over expenditures from Coburg. SAXE-MEININGEN.-The civil list consists of 394,286 marks ($78,858). The Duke also receives one-half the excess of revenue over expenditure, about 135.000 marks.

SWEDEN AND NORWAY.-The King has an annuity of 300,000 kroners ($75,000), and in addition there is a civil list of 1,321,000 kroners ($330,250) for the maintenance of the royal family. TURKEY.-As the income of the Sultan is largely derived from the revenues of Crown domains, it is impossible to do more than attempt to approximate the amount, which is variously estimated at from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. WURTEMBERG.-The civil list of the King is 2,017,189 marks ($403,438), in addition to the 100,579 marks granted other members of the royal family.

The Bureau of the American Republics was organized as a result of the first International Conference of the American Republics, held April 14, 1890, and has for its objects the dissemination of knowledge regarding each Republic represented in the bureau. Especial attention is paid to information along Industrial and commercial lines, with the view of increasing general interest in the Republics and in bringing about better relations among them. In March, 1902, a reorganization of the burean took place at a meeting held in Washington, and several resolutions as to its policy were adopted. Hereafter the bureau shall be under the control of a Governing Board, composed of the diplomatic representatives of all the governments of the Republics, accredited by the Government of the United States, and of the Secretary of State of the United States, who is chairman of the Governing Board. Applicants for membership to the bureau must pass an examination provided by a committee from the Board. It was agreed to continue the publication of the Monthly Bulletin, and decided that as soon as the advertising contracts now existing have expired, that the publication of advertisements in the Bulletin shall cease. As a division of the bureau, a Latin-American library, to be known as "The Columbus Memorial Library," was established. The report of the Director of the Burean, W. W. Rockhill, for the fiscal year ending June 1, 1901. showed the receipts to have been $58.122.30, and the total expenditure $54,921.47, leaving a balance of $3,200.83.
