There are very persistent rumors current
in London, having every appearance of
truth, to the effect that the relations be-
tween the prince and princess of Wales
have been strained of late to a greater ex-
tent than at any period since their mar
riage. Indeed, it is openly asserted, and
that, too, in the most well informed and
authoritative circles, that the totally un-
expected recent visit of the king and queen
of Denmark to London was for the purpose
of preventing the princess from fulfilling
her intention of definitely leaving her hus-
band.
1t is believed, too, that Queen Victoria's
Intervention was invoked in order to avert
any open rupture. and that the hurried
visit of the princess TO Balmoral, whittier
she went without either her husband or
daughters, bore reference to her differences
with the heir apparent.
1t looks as If the king of Denmark and
the two queens had been to a certain eA-
tent successful since, on the whole appear
ances may be said to have been MANI
tained but those who have had the oppor-
tunity of observing closely have expressed
themselves as startled by the lack OF cor
diality and manifestations OF affection on
the part Of the princess @ ssnt toWara aer
The causes of the dispute are reported TO
be two-fold. In the first place, tne prln-
cess was notoriously opposed to her sons
marriage to Princess May, and has re-
peatedly given public manifestation there
of, and, in the second place, 1t is alleged
that there is trouble again in connection
with Lady Brooke.
AS / said the other day, there has been a
conflict about the appointment OF Lady
Brooke's sister-in-law Lady Eva Grevtle,
as lady-in-waitiny to the duchess of YORK.
and the princess is asserted to have resent
ed Lady Brooke's presence at the Mari-
borough house garden party.
1t attracted universal notice on that oc-
casion that none of the royalties spoke to
Lady Brooke, who was accompanied by her
children. The prince of Wales ordinarily
genial behavior was most constrained and
uneasy. and he pointedly abstained from
talking TO any of his friends save to his
pearance OF slight of Lady Brooke by his
neglect to engage in conversation with her

ever, be inclined to doubt this. for If the
prince has one virtue above all others, II
is that of sticking to his friends through
thick and thin, and, Notwithstanding all
the talk that there has been about him and
Lady Brooke, those who Know both Well
are firmly convinced that the relations be-
tween them have always been OF purely
platonic character.
doubtedly the first of all the prince OF
Wales woman friends toward whom the
princess has ever manifested the slightest
degree of jealousy and resentment. al
though there have been many instances in
which the future QUEEN of England had far
greater reason to object to her husband s
fiirtations than in this case.
The general impression is that the prin-
cess has had her jealousy aroused by some
ill-natured friend OF Lady BrOokes ac-
quaintance. who, with the view of venting &
her venom against the latter. has en-
deavored TO arouse the lll-"llI ana hatred
of the princess toward the beautiful mis-
tress Of Easton lodge.
l may add that all these troubles are be-
ing generally discussed. not alone In the up
permost circles of society in London. but
also in those of Vienna. Berlin and Paris,
where the princes conduct is judged with
more harshness than justice.
