and Threatens to Elope
With Him.
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

NEW YORK, Aug. 25. (Special.) When
the steamship Mexico left Brooklyn thTs
afternoon for Havana, she had in . her

800.00' rounds of ammunition and six Gat
