turned from the theatre TO their aplrt-
nents in Browns Hotel Wednesday

sitting by the fire with Miss HuutingO

Browns Hotel himself, nut went to Linz
mer's not far awsy, go that he could call

IN THE GRIP OF THE sHYLocKs.
From an intimate friend OF the Haiz-
f-ldt family the World correspondent learns
that the only bar 10 the marriage now Is
not so much the question Of settling the
Princes deb's as It is Of paying the ex-
orbhaut demands of the usuTers who lent
the Prince money when he was hard up
Aner obtaining his acceptance OF the top
rate of interest at the time when the loans
were contracted, these money-lenders now
insist on having their full pound o. d sh.
Out Of all Prince Hs szeldPs creditors
there are only half dozen who are will
ling to compromise for the amount Of the
original nebt and moderate Interests The
Others have got the Prince 10 a tight place
and are going 10 squeeze him.
The only hitch 10 the wedding arrange
ments now is in dealing with these usufefs.
O this point both the Pducs's parents
and Huntington are Obdurate. The
Princes father and Princess Gabrielle, bis
mother. have agreed 10 pay their son's
debts if bis creditors will he content With
the amount Of the original loans at the
usual rate of interest, but they refuse TO
submit to extortion, and Mr.. Huntington
commends their determination. The
Prince and Capt Somler have been makiog
some attempts TO arrange the settlement,
but so far have accomplished nothing.
