TALK OF DIVORCE.
Grown Prince of saxony May Put
 Aside His Wife.

Dresden. Saxony. Dec. 23.-King George and the Crown Prince Frederick know where the Crown Princess Louise has sought refuge, but they have decided to accept the arrangement of the princess and her husband as treparahle They have made the cabinet privy to the cir constance Of the princess flight as they see them, and 6 decree of divorce Is talk ed of as necessary sequence to the prin- cess's resolution to leave the court for ever.
 This determination the princess an- nounced to her husband early in Novem- Der, after one of their frequent violent scenes. She also conhded her intention to separate herself utterly from the court and all it's wretchedness to two or three of her intimate friends, and discussed with them the possibility of her longer enduring the artificial etiquette of tho court and the forced companionship of man who was losthsoIne to her.
 The princess wrote to her mother at the end of November that 1t was her in- tention to leave the Grown Prince and give up the prospect of the queenship, which, instead of being attractive, tho princess frequently said was detestable to her. She formally told members of her entourage that she was going to visit her parents at SalisbEg. The letter of 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 of her children and the crown prince as possible. The princess replied according to one of her confidants. that she would see nothing of that beat" that tute- lage of her children was largely taken out of her hands, and that she could not bear to see them spoiled by the "hypocri- sies of the court"
 What she complained of in the prince was his intemperance, his inhdelties. and as her partsans affirm. his cruelty of dis position. They affirm that he has had for years a Jason with an actress named Baste. and 1t is credltably reported that at a review of troops at Grimma a 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 of quarreling and often tried to impose his will upon her but he always hoped that she would. in the end, humble herself The crown princess days at Salesburg were spent in controversy with her fath- CT and mother. who did not excuse her for a moment in her mad desire to leave her position and family. Her brother. Archduke LeoDold 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 i King and Crown Prince know where she
 Is. and are in communication with her,
 but 1t Is learned that she is absolutely in- | tractable.
 | Dresden is absorbed by the sensation l The theory that the Crown Princess is | suffering from mental alteration Is now
 only feebly propagated by the Saxon | court, and the Crown Princes adherents 1 intimate that an illicit love affair is the cause of the Princess's assertion.
 The Dresden Nachriohten, one of tho principal newspapers and having conser- | vative leanings. after saying it could all
 most be sorry for the Princess, with a
 disposition incompatible with that of the
 Prince and disliking the etiouette of this
 court, suggests that Ito fad the reaser l for her depaFVEa. oGas must hnd the man
