 Treatment.

The story Of Her Husbands Harsh
 Treatment.
 LONDON. Dec. 5.-The matrimonial quarrel between Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Henry. her husband, excites great interest here.
 The history of the affair as gathered from the various continental newspa- pers charges Prince Henry with mis- conduct and neglect and repeats ru- mors Of his deep drinking and heavy gaming debts. which Queen Wilhelmi- ma declined to pay. Another point of disagreement between the pair was the princes unconcealed antipathy to Hol- land and his ungoyernable passion for hunting. which resulted in his long ab- sences in Germany. It is said that the queen mother then interfered and tax ed her son-in-law with his misbehavior, but without effect, and finally the mat ter developed into an arrangement be- tween mother and daughter.
 In regard to the quarrel at the din- ner at Het Loo and the resultant duels another rumor. represents Major Van Tets as having received violent kick in the stomach. which caused him se we're internal injuries. and it Is suppos- ed the fear thar his death might lead to revelations is the real reason for something of the truth being permitted to leak out after the matter was off ciaIly. denied. The latest news, how ever, says that Major Tets is progress ing favorably. and it is said thar the queen mother has been able to effect something like reconciliation between the queen and her husband
