o A HUSBAND.
Troubles Of Hollands Royal Couple
Continue.

Amsterdam, Dec. AIN spite of Of
fetal denials, Investigations show that
there is a substantial foundation for
the story of a duel having been fought
between Prince Henry of the Neither
lands, husband of Queen Wilhelmina,
and Major Vantets, the queens aide
de camp. 1t appears that at a dinner at
Hetloo, her majesty was hurt by some
i%nattention on the part of the prince
and spoke to him sharply. Prince
Henry retorted Extensively, %whereupon
Major Vantets made a remark regard
ing the improperly of the prince con-
between the aide de camp and the
prince, who had been drinking freely
and a duel with swords was fought af-
ter dinner. Vantets was wounded.
He has since been removed to Utrecht
to be operated upon.
The same incident gave rise to an
other duel between Prince Henry and
a gentleman of the courl. The latter
was slightly wounded.
London, Dec. 4.-The matrimonial
quarrel between Wilhelmina and
Prince Henry, her husband, excites
great interest here. The substance
of the affair, as gathered from the
various continental newspapers,
charge Prince Henry with miscon-
duct and neglect and repeat rumors
Of his deep drinking and heavy gam
ing debts, which Queen Wilhelmina
declined to pay. Another point of dis
agreement between the pair was the
princes uncontrolled antipathy to
Holland and his ungovernable passion
for hunting, which resulted in his
long absences in Germany. 1t is said
that the queens mother i%nterfered
and taxed her son-in-law with his be.
havior, but without effect, and finally
the matter evolved into an estrange.
ment between mother and daughter.
In regard to the quarrel at the din
ner at Hetloo, and the resultant duels
another represents Major Van
Tets as having received a violent kick
in the stomach, which caused him Sc
we're internal injuries, and it is sup
posed that fear that his death might
lead to revelations was the real mo
tive for something of the truth be
ing permitted to leak out after the
matter was officially denied. The lat
est news, however, says the major is
progressing favorably, and it is sale
the queens mother has been able tt
effect something like a reconciliation
between the queen and her husband
Prince Henry has a record of sew
eral duels in his student days. He
has always been exceedingly unpopu
lar in Holland, where, since 1870, there
have been morbid fears of annexation
schemes on the part of Germany, ant
on this account the friends of Primo.
Henry declare he never has had fail
play.

st. John, N. B., Dec. 4.-The tug
Gypsum King, Captain Blizzard, ar
rived here this afternoon with M
steel barge in tow, and reported that
two other barges, the Gypsum King
and the Gypsum Queen, broke away
from the tow this morning about six
miles off Point Lepraux in the Bay of

the barges with their crews Of five
men each are lost, though the captain
has hopes that as they are schooner

have been able to live through the
storm. The lost barges are wooden,
of LOO tons net. Both carried about

sions sufficient only to last from five

caused the water to be restricted, and
for days a hot wind has blown over
the prairies, and the temperature has
averaged over the 100 mark. With

FRIARS I'm THE PHILIPPINES.
Catholic Authorities in Manila Say
They Have No OF
Withdrawing Them.

Manila, July 2o.-The Roman Cath
lie authorities in Manila say they
have no intention of Withdrawing the
friars from the Philippine islands,
and reiterate their belief that the
friars will be welcomed by the
masses of the Filipino people as their
spiritual advisers, when the people
are thoroughly assured the friars
will no longer exercise temporary au-
thority.
The clerics bitterly charge the lead
ers of the federal party, themselves
Catholics, with melting the people
against the clergy. They also say
they would be willing to substitute
American for Spanish friars, except
for difficulties arising from the Amer
leans ignorance of Spanish and the
native dilects. The warm and antag-
onistic receptions given the friars by
the people in the provinces is retard-
ing the experiment of reinstating
them.

TO SAVE THEIR LIVESTOCK.
Northwestern Missouri Ar
ranging to Ship Their Cattle
to Northern wisconsin.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 2O.-E. D.
Armstrong, a prominent stockman of
northeastern Missouri, arrived in ST.
Paul, Friday, and conferred with the
general freight department of the
Omaha railway with a view of ar
ranging for the shipment OF train
loads of stock from his country to the
grass district of northern Wisconsin.
He told some pitiful tales of the
conditions in his neighborhood, where,
he said, water is so scarce as to COM
mand a high price. He related one in
stance where a farmer owning i2i
head of cattle paid a neighbor, who
was fortunate enough to have a pond,
$40 for watering his stock once. 9th
er farmers, he said, are cutting down
trees, that their stock may eat the
leaves.
These stock raisers find it cheaper
to ship the cattle 10 northern Wiscon-
sin, where thousands of acres OF clov.
er and timothy grass land is going to
waste, and where water is very
abundant, instead of sacrificing them
at a small profit in the summer mar
ket, the idea being that at a cost of
two or three dollars per head for
shipping stock to hat country will
enable them to sell stock in the st.
Paul or Chicago market in November
at a much greater profit.
Omaha railway people are now ar
ranging with the owners of large
tracts of wild land along their line
in northern Wisconsin for the prac-
tieally free use of this land for graz.
