The Big British Royal Scandal.
London, Special-The mystery of the NOR.
ganatic marriage deepens. The latest repor'
which reached London this evening from res.
ponsible sources at Windsor is to the ef-
feet that the Grand Duke Louis ". did mar
ry the fascinating divorced Nine. De Kala-
mire in consequence of promise exhort-
ed from him by the lady. This fact it is
understood, the grand duke admitted to n his
queen drew from him at Darmstadt The
reason why he gave this promise is yariously
stated. Some say his gallantries with Nine: De
Kalamire had gone to the verge of indiscretiOn,
and he had thus given her a power over him
which she had not hesitated to use. According
to others the lady has successfully worked up
on the fears of the grand duke, who was par
icularly anxious to have no breath of the
Threatened scandal mar the marriage fete of his
daughter the Princess Victoria, and that Nine.
De Kalamire has played the part of a success
full blackmailer. Queen Victoria has, however,
pardoned the grand duke on the strength OF
his explanation as to the limited
character of his matrimonial alliance with the
Russian widow; and he has entered into an OBJ
legation that the marriage shall not be consum-
mated, and that his relations with Mime. De
Kalamire shall be deemed to have terminated
with the performance of the marriage ceremony
which took place between them: These expla-
to the whole affair, and the queens conduct is
bitterly censtireI The grand duke is still
basking in the royal favor at Windsor castle,
and is again looked upon as a candidate for
the hand of Princess Beatrice, always provided
the peers pass the deceased wife's sister" bill.
