THE FOLLY OF A CROWN PRINCESS.
New York, Dec. 30. The Herald correspondent at
Zurich, Switzerland, cables the report of au interview with
the Crown Princes of Saxony, iu which she is quoted a
saying that M. Gtrou is the only mau she ever met whom
she felt she could love, and that it was a question of mutual
ove and affinity which made her life impossible without
lim.
"Between my husband and ' myself,!' said the Princess-,
'there was no bend of sympathy. He was a typical, rouga
officer. I myself was full of ideais. How miserable that
ife was. I tried so hard to bear it for the sake of ray dar
ing children, whom. I adore.
"I also hesitated for the sake of the Saxon peopl:,
whom I love deeply, as they love me. . But all that could
not alter my resolution. The ills of my life at court were
too great to bear." .
Dresden, Dec. 30. Kiug George has appointed a
spcial court of seven judges to try. the suit for divorce
which the Crown Prince has decided to institute against
the Crown Princess. ' .
CHINESE COOLIES SMUGGLED IN.
Portland, Dec. 30. Evidence has been obtained by
Government secret service agents working iu tht principal
cities of the Pacific Coast, and aided by customs aud inter
nal revenue officers, that will lead, according to all indica
tions, in the near future to the unearthing of a great con
spiracy to smuggle Chinese emigrants across the Canadian
border, and to place in their hands torgetl certmcaie 01
residence, which have passed muster, generally, with Gov
eminent agents in the interior. Already several Chinese
have been arrested with these forger certificates in their
possession, and the investigation now under way is the
result. In the opinion of officers working 011 the case, tue
operations of the conspirators have been extensive, and
hundreds, if not thousands, of Chinese are irauauienuy in
this country as a result. It is thought the headquarters of
the conspirators is at Sau Francisco; but the ratifications
of the conspiracy extend from British Columbia to Mexico.
One secret service agent is now in i'ortlana, working on
the case. Naturally, he declines to talk of the work.he is
doing, but on the authority of other Government officials
it is stated that sensational disclosures are imminent.
