POSITION OF THE NEW PRINCESS.

London. April 22.-The baby who was the chief tople of conversation throughout the kingdom yesterday could conceivably become Queen of England.

At the College of Huraids a′′ "Daily Mail" reporter was told-

The Duke of York obviously suc- warda the Prince of Wales in the event of the Prime of Wales dying without iseue. The child of the Duke of, York, whether a girl or a boy would take precedence as Heir to the Throne over the other Princes.

If the Prince of Wales has children, they succeed,, but if not, the Princess born to-day would become Queen of England unless the Duke of York has a son..

One must eliminate all the sons of the King and all their descend- ants, before Princess Mary could succeed.

In other countries this would not be 30. The succession would pass Lo other sons of the King and not to this young Princess. However, there is no Sulic jaw in England, otherwise Queen Victoria would not have come to the Throne, and it makes it possible for the daugh ter of the Duke and Duchess of York to become Queen..
