Dresden Saxony dec. 23 King George and the Crowe Prince Freder ick know where the Crown Princess Louise has sought Refuge but they have decided to accept the estrange ment of the Princess and her husband As irreparable. They have made the Cabinet privy to the circumstances of the Princess flight As they see them and a decree of divorce is talked of a a necessary sequence to the Princess Resolution to leave the court forever. This information was announced to her husband Early in november after one of their frequent violent scenes. She confided her intention to Separ ate herself utterly from the court and All its wretchedness to two or three of her intimate friends and discussed with them Tho impossibility of her longer enduring the artificial Eti Quette Kcf the court and the forced companionship of a Man who was loathsome to the Princess wrote to her Mother at the end of november that it was her purpose to leave the Crown Prince and give up the Prospect of the Queena hip which instead of being attractive the Prin Cess frequently said was detestable to her. She formally told members if her entourage Sho was going to her parents at Salzburg. The letter of the Princess to her Mother the archduchess immediately to Dresden pc he implored her daughter to reconsider her de termination and make the Best of an unpleasant situation for the Sake her children and see As Little of the Crown Prince As Perris Sable. The Princess replied according to one of her confident that she would eco nothing of that that the Tut Elage of Hor children was largely out of her hand and said she could not Bear to sea them spoiled by the hypocrisy of the where the Prince was wrong. What she complained of in the Prince was his intemperance his in. Old elite Ami As her partisans affirm his cruelty of disposition. They affirm that he has had for years a Liaison with an actress named Baste and it is credibly reported at a review of troops at Grimma a couple of years ago the Prince fell from his horse intoxicated in front of his regiment. However True these incidents May be the court and All Dresden knew that a chasm separated the affections of the Crown Princess from the Crown Prince. Although he seemingly had genuine admiration for his wife the Prince did his share of quarrelling and often tried to impose his will upon her but always hoped she would in the end Humble herself. The Crown Princess Days at Salz Burg were spent in controversy with her father and Mother who did not excuse her for a moment in her mad desire to leave her position and fam ily. Her brother Duke Leopold Ferdinand took his sister s part. The circumstances of the Princess flight Are still obscure Here. Tho Only fact that seems Clear is that the King and the Crown Prince know where she is and Are in communication with her but it is Learned she is absolutely intractable. Dresden is absorbed by the sensation. The theory that the Crown Princess is suffer inc from mental aberration is now Only feebly propagated by the Saxon court and the Crown Prince s adherents intimate that an illicit love affair is the cause of the Princess desertion. The Man in the Case. The Dresdner a Schrichten one of the principal newspapers and having conservative after saying it could almost to sorry for the Prin Cess with a disposition incompatible with that of the Prince and disliking the etiquette of this court suggests that to find the reason for her disappearance one must find the the Man in this Case who is associated by gossip with the Princess is a hand some Frenchman who was the Tutor of the Princess children. He was peremptorily discharged by order of the Crown Prince december 2. The Tutor has disappeared and now the Princess has disappeared. Hence it is inferred that they Aro together some where. An instance of the Princess disregard of court manners was her cycling through the streets of Dresden with an american dentist who at her request taught Lier to ride a wheel although the King and Crown Prince commanded her not to learn. The name of this dentist was at first coupled with that of the Princess when it was heard that she had Dis appeared but us id quietly living Here with his family the Story was dropped. The Crown Princess had a Lively viennese manner. She was in dependent and and was inclined to ridicule the observances of the Little Saxony court which takes itself most seriously. Tho Crown Prince who recovered from the injury he recently sustained while Hunting drove out to Day with his sons. Double scandal. Vienna dec.

When she left Salzburg accompanied by it Onither Archduke Leopold Ferdinand the Princess went to Munich where a French Tittor awaited her.

It appears that when the Crown Prince returned recently to Dresden after his Hunting Accident in the Tyrol he discovered secret correspond ence exchanged Between tiie Princess and the French Tutor whose former relations with her had created a scandal resulting in the Tutor s expulsion from Saxony. Besides Dis closing the couple s relations the let ters revealed another scandal. Immediately afterwards the Princess left her Home and went to Salzburg. The fact that she took a trunk filled with jewelry and other valuables indicates that she was prepared for an emergency. It is reported that Archduke Leo Pold Ferdinand has written to Emper or Francis Joseph renouncing his rank and dignities As a member of the Imperial House and saying he will be come a civil subject. Tho whole of the Archduke s career is redolent with scandal dealing from the time when he started to accompany the heir to the throne on a tour of the world.
