FORBIDDEN TO MEET HIM Xame -Is AVlthheld, but There Are Only Four Eligibles, and Gossip . Is Guessing Romantic Love of King's Daughter. BT THE COUNTESS OF BLASKSHIRB. (Special Cable to the Central News and 1 Oregon lan.) LONDON. Aug. 25. We are threatened with a scandal of the first magnitude. It concerns a royal Princess, and I do not doubt but that the- United States will get the first details, as the English papers wul be rather averse to publishing anything involving the royal family. The facta are that one of the Princesses has fallen mad ly in love with a young scion of one of the oldest families In Great Britain. He Is also madly In love with her. But the august father of the Princess, for what are said to be good reasons, which cannot however, be made public,' refuses to coun tenance a marriage. The Princess does not know of the objections. It Is now said that there haB been a vio lent scene between the Princess and her father and that the Princess has emphati cally stated that she will marry the man of her choice despite all opposition, even if she has to elope secretly with him. Her father has also had an Interview with the young man, and has warned him not to write, see or .communicate in any way with the young lady. He, being an officer in the army, is bound to obey the royal command, and so tuere is the situation. Princesses on the Market. So far as the lady is concerned, it is not hard for the gossips to guess who she is, for of the royal Princesses of a marriage able age in England there are but four. Of these. Princess Patricia of Connaught is the youngest. "Pat," as she is coJh monly called, is a healthy girl and a very charming one, too. She Is athletic, fond of sport and fairly good looking; She will have .very little difficulty in making a good marriage. Then there is Princess Victoria of Sehleswig-Hoisteln, daughter of Prince Christian. She is devoted to the breeding of valuable cats, and Is perfectly wrapped up in her model cattery. She makes a great deal of money selling kittens and does not care at all for society or for en. As for marriage, she has had in years gone by several offers, one from a Grand Duke of the Russian Imperial family, which she refused. Then comes her sister, Princess Louise of Schleswig Holstein. She is fairly young, pretty, has a good figure, is charmingly piquante in every way and is of a very lively and ro mantic spirit. In faot, she was so lively for the slow-going notabilities of the Ger man court, that she shocked them almost out of their sense when she was 'over there. She was married some years ago to Prince Aribert of Anhalt, a very staid and beefy minor royalty. Their married life lasted about two years, and then came the divorce. The Princess' pranks and goings-on in Berlin angered the jvaiser and Louise's husband so much that both insisted on a divorce. So Louise came back to her mother and father in England and has been "carrying on" hore-ever since; King's Romantic Daughter. But England does not mind the vagaries of any one so lofig as that one has either money or rank. Louise is scarcely the sort of Princess who cares for life without plenty of lovers. And so she always has a cavalier in attendance. The fourth. Princess is Victoria of Wales, the daugh ter of the King and the only , unmarried member of the family. She lives with Tier mother and is nearly always in the hands of a nurse and medical attendant, for she is subject to epilepsy and has fits at all sorts of inconvenient times. She Is also reported ! to be a little queer and does some remarkable things. Hr great hob bies are bicycling and photography. She Is 37, and has had an offer or two of mar riage, but the King has always, on med ical advice, refused to allow her to mar ry. Some time ago she had a romantic hour or two with a minor official, a hanu some youth of the royal household. He was flattered at the attention shown him by a Princess, but the romance was nipped In the bud and the young man was given a good appointment at the uttermost ends of the earth. The attachment was broken in on Just at the right moment. Here you have the four Princesses, and as the gossip has got no further than the first-named facts of the story given, I cannot quote the name of the Princess. But any day may give it to the public. If the young lady means what sue says and elopes with the young officer. Then, of course, the august father and the rest of the royal family will make the best of a bad Job. American Girl's False Step. An echo of Cowes week comes in a gos sipy little paragraph anent a fair young Americaine unnamed who took a . queer chance of coming into the presence of their Majesties of Englancfand Spain. It Is said that this girl, and I cannot vouch for the fact that she is American, was aboard an American yacht at the great yacht racing meeting. On the Britannia were gathered all the royalties. The boat in which they had boarded the Britannia lay still alongside. The American yacut was passing the royal yacht at a high speed when (this young lady fell or Jumped into the -water. There were, of course. Instantly . many shouts. The American yacht shot past the Britannia, but stopped her engines and lowered a boat. But t Britannia's gig, of course, immediately rowed out and picked up the girl, who was practically exhausted and in a pre carious condition indeed. She was lifted Into the boat, but alas for her hopes, the King ordered his men to take her, not on board the royal yacht, as she no doubt expected, but off to her own yacht, which by this time had been able to stop her way and begin a return. There were many American yachts at Cowes, the biggest being the Ctowana of the Armonrs, which now goes into the hands of the German Emperor. King Ed ward, presumably because he had the King and Queen of Spain to entertain, did not ask many of the others present on board his yachts. Americans were almost entirely left out of the invitations, except ing Consuelo, Duchess of Manchester, and her friends. Agree on Home Rule Bill. LONDON, Aug. 25. The chief, members of the government, with leaders of the Irish, the Labor and other smaller par ties, have had a series of conferences in private. The outcome has been the decis ion of the government to Introduce next session a home rule bill for Ireland. The whole matter is supposed to be a pro found state secret, but a semi-official hint has already been issued by Sir Antony Macdonnell. The new measure will not be of such a comprehensive character as Gladstone's bill, but an essential feature of it will be a representative legislative assembly at Dublin for dealing with Irish local affairs. There will be quite a fight over the bill in Parliament In both Commons and Lords, but the government Is assured that the bill, will pass with very little modification. MILLIONS IX DEATH DUTIES British Treasury Reaps Harvest From Death of Rich. LONDON, Aug. 25. An American, the late George Smith, of Chicago and Scot land, has held the record for the largest amount of death duties paid on a single estate. This has Just been eclipsed by the probate of the will of the late Alfred Beit. The estate of the late' Mr. Smith paid England's Chancellor of the Ex chequer over J4.500.000 In duties. Mr. Belt's executors have this week paid Just over $5,000,000. The death duties on estates of all persons, whether citizens or not, are charged at Increasing rates of from lt per cent on values under $500 to 8 per cent on $5,000,000. The revenue from this source averages some $50,000,000 annually. The present Chancellor, Mr. Asquith. esti mated the revenue this year at $68,500,000. But he is in luck. Millionaires have died one after the other, and although one third of the fiscal year has passed, Mr. Asquith is already over $10,000,000 ahead of his schedule. One of the millionaires who died recent ly was Sir Charles Tennant. Mr. Asquith married his daughter, and so the curious spectacle is afforded of the Chancellor's death harvest including over $1,500,000 tak en from his father-in-law to help along his budget. Other estates which have paid huge sums within the last few weeks are those of the Earl of Ilehester, Lord Masham, the Inventor of textile processes and ma chinery: John Goddard, a retired provision- dealer, Mr. Stelnkopff, founder of a table water and owner of the old St. James Gazette. These estates were all multi-millionaire affairs. Last month ten millionaire estates paid up. and hundreds In the hundreds of thousands class. Some day the names of America's mil lionaires will grace the books of the dif ferent Chancellors of the Exchequer. There will be Rockefeller, Astor, Van Alen, Croker, Vanderbilt, Goelet, Mor gan, Gould and a host of lesser degree, who will contribute. If they die In Eng land or not, it matters little. None can escape, for they all own something Eng lish or in England. DRUNKEN' SWEDES RUN AMUCK After Killing Thirteen Teople, In sanity Plea Fails Him. STOCKHOLM, Aug. 25. Oscar Svenson has been sentenced to be guillotined, de spite the fact that his friends and rela tives swear that he is hopelessly Insane. Svenson is a man of 40, a rough cattle driver, and has plenty of money. He had been in the United States, and came back with many dollars, which he spent freely. He had been on a long debauch when he boarded the little coast steamer plying between Stockholm and Mariefred a Summer seaside resort not far from the capital. . Svenson drank a lot of mixed liquors on board and then ran amuck. He first in vaded the ladies' cabin. It was near mid night, and many ladles and children were asleep. Svenson cut the throat of one child, then stabbed its mother, and ran again on deck, chasing a young woman, who was escaping from him. On deck were many people, smoking, drinking and chatting. Svenson began firing at the crowd Indiscriminately. The captain be gan signalling for help with rockets. Svenson ran up to the bridge and shot the captain dead. After he had got tired of killing people, Svenson ordered the crew to lower away a boat. He got into this and rowed away In the darkness. The steamer went at once to land, and the police were soon hunting for,the madman. He was captured at day break at a littfe roadside station, waiting f ji a train. On the steamer he had wan txaJy murdered 13 men and women and wounded 19. All were strangers to Mm. This occurred so short a time ago that the trial Just ended was almost a fVim mary one. The pl'-a of insanity was put In. but the Jury refused to accept It and urged that the execution be forthwith. N such men as Svenson are better dead, ana the sooner the better. SHOCK TO DANISH "CLIMBER" Desired Guest Entertained by Cook In Kitchen. COPENHAGEN, Aug. 23. An excellent ftory Is told this week by the Stifstiden de. the standing of the newspaper being sufficient cause to accept the story as truth. A very prominent hostess of the capital who entertained largely has been recently desirous of becoming a political hostess and entertaining a Cabinet Min ister. To date she has not been success ful. Her new cook announced that on Wednesday she desired relief from her clutter, as her uncle and aunt were to visit her. The hostess refused the leave, for she had arranged a big dinner for that night. She wished to oblige her cook, however, and so told her she could have the uncle and aunt and entertain them in the kitchen with what was left from each course of the banquet. This arrangement was satisfactory, and both the dinners upstairs and downstairs passed oft successfully. After the guests had all loft, the cook conveyed the thanks- of her uncle and aunt to her mistress and said they en joyed the kitchen dinner very much. The mistress was pleased and asked some what condescendingly, "And what sort of people are your uncle and aunt, Lna? I hope they are nice and respect able?" The answer was disconcerting. The new cook ald: "My uncle is Mr. Ole Hansen, Minister of Agriculture." Loan Office for Umbrellas. BERLIN, Aug. 25. Much praise is be ing bestowed on an umbrella manufac turer who has started a acheme for the aceommocVitlon of people who leave home without an umbrella and get caught in the rain. The manufacturer recently paid a visit to the United States and saw how the John Crawford umbrella scheme was worked there. On his return he started one here. The modus operandi differs somewhat from the American style. Uumbrella de pots are established In all tobacco and tiarber shops. If any man or woman wants an umbrella he calls at the near est depot, and In exchange leaves 50 cents and hla name and address. Next morn ing a man calls at the residence, takes away the umbrella and gives the cus tomer back his money minus 2 cents charged for the loan of the umbrella. The scheme so far has been an immense success. ISLAND REVOLT AT WRONG TIE Washington Officials Deplore Cuban Outbreak While Root Is Absent. MAY NULLIFY HIS VISIT Talk of Help Being Furnished by Enemies of Monroe Doctrine la Foreign Countries to Insur ' gents In New Republic. WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. (Special. )) The Government Is much worried over the Cuban situation. This fact became known tonight. The State Department officials, although making every effort to conceal the fact, fear from the private advices that have been received that the revolution Is a well organized and power ful one and that the insurgents are well supplied with funds. Uncle Sam does not wish to Interfere in the slightest degree in the affairs of the young republic. This is not because he Is indifferent over the outcome, because it is realized that even assistance in sup pressing the revolution may be miscon strued by other countries. He believes that such an undesirable happening would put in the fire all the fat that has been rendered by the notable visit of Secre tary Root to the South American re publics. Ever since the Spanish-American War there has been an impression abroad that the ultimate aim of the United States was to annex Cuba. This feeling was strengthened by the diplomatic repre sentatives of continental governments, who sought political gain through the breaking down of the to-them obnoxious Monroe doctrine. It was almost at fever heat In certain South American countries when Secretary Root announced that he would make his now famous visit of peace to their shores. The Government was warmly congratu lating itself upon the successful outcome of his visit when the news of the Cuban uprising was received. First the report were treated rather lightly, but the growth of the insurrectionist movement led to an investigation that has disturbed rather than quieted the nerves of high officials. The belief Is strong in some minds that foreign money is back of the trouble. It is said that Secretary Root is being kept posted as to developments and that no etep will be taken unless requested strongly by the Cuban Government be fore the Secretary returns from his South American trip. PLANS FOR INTERVENTION'.. Talk of Commission Named by Roosevelt to Settle Quarrel. HAVANA, Aug. 25. Among the sug gestions made with the view to bring ing about a peaceful settlement of the Insurrection Is that of conced ing to the Liberals the annulment of the December election and holding new ones, in which both political parties, the Moderates and the Liberals, shall partici pate fairly and freely. Another is that a commission be appointed by President Roosevelt to investigate the matters in dispute, and it is also proposed that a commission composed of government sup porters and insurgents, of which the American Minister shall be chairman, be appointed to decide on a basis of settle ment. None of the plans appears prac ticable. The government is wholly un likely to begin negotiations of any sort at tills stage. The enlistment of recruits progressed much more rapidly today, and many as pirants for enrollment In the rural guards are now being' turned away owing to their youth or lack of physical capacity to un dergo the hardships of a campaign. Congressman Bosta, of Havana, is or ganizing a special battalion of revolution ary veterans to take pnrt in the work of suppressing the rebellion. The Stars and Stripes are flying con spicuously from points of vantage on American-owned m properties throughout the disturbed districts, respected by both the government forces and the band of insurrectionists, the emblem of the United States is perhaps exerting a moral In fluence over sober-minded Cuban. Sen ator Morna Campos Marquet, Liberal, who has espoused the cause of the in surgents, has publicly advocated the ap pointment by President Roosevelt of a commission to investigate the charges of fraud in connection with the last elec tions. Other prominent men indorse the idea. So far there has been no serious dis affection in the cltir-s, but In the sur rounding districts. The situation Is not reassuring. Government agents are sailing today for the United States to purchase horses. The Cabinet crisis, it is officially an nounced, has been satisfactorily ar ranged. Senor O'Karrill, the acting Min ister of the Interior and Secretary of State and -Justice, has consented to re tain his own positions (Secretary of State and Justice), withdrawing only from the Interior Department. Senor K"ont Ster ling and General Montalvo will continue ad interim in charge of the Ministry of the Interior. When General RuIr Rivera, the Cuban Minister to Central and South American countries, who has been cabled to return Immediately to Cuba, reaches this city he will resume charge of the Interior Ministry. CARRY ARMS AND AMMUNITION Steamer Sails for Havana 'With Carco for Palnia. NEW YORK, Aug. 25. (Special.) When the steamship Mexico left Brooklyn thTs afternoon for Havana, she had in . her bold 15.000 Remington repeating rifles. 800.00' rounds of ammunition and six Gat ling rapid-fire guns for President Palma's forces in Cuba. The shipment was to have been larger, but the vessel could not carry more. The Kansas, which will sail next Thursday, will carry 3.000.001) rounds of ammunition and 5000 Reming tons for Palma's aid. The firm that shipped the supplies said that the guns were ordered by cable on Thursday. It was & rush order and called for Immediate shipment. Since then the entire forces of the firm have been clean ing and boxing rifles and cartridges. Tire steamship is due at Havana Wednesday morning- t
