The Princes Domestic Relations.

The Archduke Rudolph was married in
Vienna on the 10th of May, 1881, to the
Arcduchess Stephanie Clotilde Louise Her
mine Marie Charlotte. Duchess of SAKE.
Princess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, daugh-
ter of Leopold ii, King of the Belgians.
The only offspring of this union is little
girl, the Princess Elizabeth, who was born
on the I'd of September, 1888. and is there
fore now in her sixth year. The marriage
has not proved happy according to common
report, although it is not prudent to place
too much reliance upon the gossip affecting
persons in high public station. Such scam
dals grow nightly in repetition. 1t is
pair were not we'll mated. and that the
Princess believed herself to be greatly neg
lected. The domestic trouble is
supposed to have had its inception
to provide male heir to the imperial
crown. The Salic law prevails in Austria,
but not In Hungary, and in consequence
the dynastic bonds of the two countries
will be separated on the death of Emperor
Francis Joseph, and Hungary become again
fve-year-old Archduchess Elizabeth. The
Austrian crown will be inherited by the
Archduke Carl Ludwig, second brother of
Francis Joseph, and in the event of his
Whether this question of succession has
influenced the Crown Prince or not, 1T is
well known that a serious breach occurred
between him and the Crown Princess, and
the story came that the Princess had sud-
denly left Austria. She spent several weeks
in the Island of Jersey, and then went to
the Belgian court. 1t was stated that the
Crown Princes infdelities were of so fla
grant nature, and his behavior to his wife
SO odious that she could not be induced to
live with him. Every effort was used by
the imperial family to get her to return to
her husband, and at length she gave way to
the entreaties of the Emperor, the Empress
and of her eldest sister, the Princess of
Saxe-Coburg, SO far as to consent to live in
Austria. AS her feelings, however, had
been too deeply outraged to enable her to
endure the Crown Princes presence, she
left Vienna for three months stay on the
shores of the Adriatic, where she was Wis
tied by every member of the imperial fam
lily excepting her husband. The Emperor,
i'm particular, showed himself most kind to
his charming daughters r-in-law, and bitterly
blamed his sons behavior. Time, however,
heals many wrongs, and in a few weeks
Archduchess Stephanie had so far relented
that she returned to live with her husband
ON account of the grave dynastic reasons
involved. Lately, however, it was stated
that the Princess, who is again separated
from her husband, and living in Dalmatia,
had resolved to seek judicial separation,
the Roman Catholic Church not permitting

ance Company, of which Mr.. Z. j. Foley,
Nationalist member of Parliament. Is
director, deposed that he had seen Byrne,

check for f1O0, drawn by Foley in favor Of
Byrne, was given on account OF the league.

other Invincibles were in the habit of
attending league meetings in Bradford.

Our Title to Pago-Pago Harbor.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The papers relat-
ing to the harbor of Pago-Pago, which Sem
ator Sherman announced in the Senate, this
morning, that he had received from Secre-
tary Bayard, are of interest, in view of the
prominence given at present by Samoan
affairs Secretary Bayard's letter to SEN
ator Sherman Is as follows;

Relations. United States Senate:

TO the Navy Department at the time OF It's re-
who was the United States commercial agent at
that station, which are explanatory or the trans

The deed referred TO was made out on

sistant Secretary Rives, dated Jan. 81. 1850,
saws that the four persons signing this in
strument were appointed as commissioners

view of the fact that they were individual
owners of property along the shore of the
harbor of Pago-Pago. Continuing, the letter
says:

lied or prepared to accept absolute title In fee
simple not knowing how far fhe United States
