Rome Interesting particulars of Queen Wilhelmina's courtship and l>etrotbal are supplied by the Paris correspond ent of the London News. Although the Queen of the Netherlands made the ac quaintance of the Grand Ducal famlly at Cann*«, she did not. it appears, see her betrothed till she went last year to Berlin. She had heard a good deal about him from his sister-in-law, the Princess John, nee Saxe-Weimar, and daughter of the late Princess Pauline of the Netherlands. Duchess of Saxe- Weimar. The moment the Queen and I’rince Henry saw each other they were mutually Impressed, and so strongly that the Queen would hear of no other suitor. She pleaded "a cold" as ex cuse for not attending a dinner where she was to pass In review a number of aspirants. The Queen mother, seeing this, prudently curtailed the visit to Berlin. Inquiries were in due course set on foot about Prince Henry. AU the reports received about him were favorable, ami the Queen arrange,I to have opportunities to become better ac quainted with him. Instead of coming to the Exposition, she planned an ex- i ursion to Hch wsrxburg. Rooms were taken at an hotel In a picturesque site for the Queen, her mother and the Dow • ger Duchess, who »u asked to b< their gue«t. Prince Henry was not disinclined to fall in with the little plan. He obtained a furlough to come to bis mother, lie got up excursion» to the «how place» In the principality, »nd acr*om panic«! the two queens In their walks, rides and drives. She was supremely happy in his company, and was sorry when It was time for the party to break up. As she was leaving, she Mid tn the Prince: "What « happy tour! I never spent such « happy time tn my life, and I feel I owe •» much to yoa.” Correspondence followed, and one tin. morning the Prime Minister was sum molted by the Queen to Ixto.

The British steamer Westliall Is ai Pigeon Point ou the Delaware Rivet discharging a cargo of nitrate of soda from lquique, ou the west coast o. South America, says the Phlladelphl North American. She sailed from that port, and Captain Morgan explains htr good run by the fact that Instead ol rounding the Horn he took the ahorte but equally perilous passage tbrougi tlie Straits of Magellan.

When the Westhall entered the straits from the Pacific Captain Mor gan thought it advisable to steam only In the daytime. The steamship was kept moving between sunrise and SUU set. and the lead was heaved continu ally that no chance of going ashore should be taken. At night they came to anchor well ou: from the Inhospltuble coast and th« watch was doubled to prevent a sur prise from the man eating Patagonians Frequently the latter could be seen ou the beach.
