 As Inevitable
ENTIRE AFFAIR IS NOW
 REEKING WITH SCANDAL
Charges of lnfldeIity Made By Both Husband and Wife and Cause Sem satlon Throughout Saxony
 and Austria.

Geneva, Switzerland, December B. The Crown Princess of Saxony is here under the name of Fraulein won Oben. Her brother Archduke Leopold Ferdl- hand and Professor Giron are at the same hotel. The archduke has as- sumed the name of DeBurlano. The party are living quietly and propose to spend Christmas here.
 Dresden, Saxony, December 23.-King George and the Crown Prince Frederick know where the Crown Princess Louise has sought refuge. but they have de- cided to accept the estrangement of the princess and her husband as irreparable. They have made the cabinet privy to the circumstances of the princess flight as they see them, and decree of divorce Is talked of as a necessary sequence to the princess resolution to leave the court forever.
 This determination the princess an- nounced to her husband early in Novem- Der, after one of their frequent scenes. She also conhded her ntention to sep arate herself utterly from the court and all its wretchedness to two or three of her intimate friends, and discussed with them the possibility of her longer en- during the artificial etiquette of the court and the forced companionship of a man who was loathsome, to her.
 Wrote to Her Mother.
 The princess wrote to her mother at the end of November that it was her intention to leave the crown prince and give up the prospect of the queenship, which instead of being attractive, the princess frequently said as Gstestable to her She formally told members of her entourage that she was gaing to visit her parents at Salisburg. The letter or the princess to her mother brought the arch duchess immediately to Dresden. She implored her daughter to reconsider her determination and make the best Of an unpleasant situation for the sake or her children and the crown prince as possible. The princess replied, according to one of her conf1dantes that she would see nothing of that "beat;" that the tute- lage of her children was largely taken out of her hands, and .-.at she could not bear to see them spoiled by the "hypoc- risies of the court"
 Prince Was Cruel.
 What she complained of in the prince was his intemperance, his inhdelities, and, as her partisans affirm, his cruelty or disposition, They affirm that he has had for wears A liason with an actress named Baste. and it is creditably reported that at a review of troops at Grimma couple of years ago the prince fell from his horse intoxicated in front of his regiment. However true these incidents may be, the court and all Dresden knows that chasm separated the affairs Of the crown princess from the crown prince Though he seemingly had a genuine admiration for his wife the prince did his share or auarreling and often tried to Impose his will upon her, but he always hoped that she would, in the end, humble herself.
 Controversy With Parents.
 The crown princess days at Salesbury were spent in controversy with her rather and mother, who did not excuse her Tor Q moment in her mad desire to leave her position and family. Her brother, Archduke Leopold Ferdinand, took his sisters part. The circumstances Of the princess flight are still obscure here, and no further reliable news Is available. The only fact that seems clear is that the king and crown prince know where she is, and are in communication with her, but it is learned that she is absolutely in-
 
 tractable.
 Dresden is absorbed by the sensation. The theory that the crown princess Is suffering from mental alteration Is now only feebly propagated by the Saxon court and the crown princess adherents intimate that an illicit love affair is the cause of the princess desertion.
 Man In the Case.
 The Dresden Nachrichten, one of the principal newspapers and having com seryative leanings, after saying it could almost be sorry for the princess, with disposition incompatible with that of the prince and disliking the etiquette of this court suggests that Ito find the reason for her departure, one must find the man" The man in the case, who is as- sociated by gossip with the princess, Is handsome Frenchman, who was tutor to the princess children. He was peremp- torily discharged by order of the crown prince December ?.
 An instance of the princess lawless disregard of court manners was her cy- cling through the streets of Dresden with an American dentist who at her request had taught her to ride wheel though the king and crown prince commanded her not to learn.
 The crown princess had a lively vien- nese manner. She was independent and high-spirited and was inclined to ridi- cule the observances of the little Saxon court which takes itself most seriously The crown prince. who has recovered from the injury that he recently sus- tained while hunting. drove out today with two of his sons.
