 panion in Munich.
 Vienna, Dec. 2S.ZThe flight of the Crown Princess of Saxony is the absorbing topic of the day. All kinds of sensational re- ports are in circula ton. When she left Saiisburg ompanied by her brother. Arch Duke Leopold Ferdinand, the Prin- cess went to Munich, where . French tutor awaited her. Her brother was also joined there by a beautiful Viennese wo- man and the two couples proceeded to Brussels and thence to Geneva
 It appears that when the Crown Prince returned recently to Dresden after his hunting accident in the Tyrol he discover ed secret correspondence existed between the Princess and the French tutor. whose former relations with her had created a scandal resulting in the tutors expulsion from Saxony. Besides disclosing the cou- ples relations, the letter revealed another scandal. Immediately afterwards the Princess left her home and went to Sal isburg. The fact that she took a trunk filled with jewelry and other valuables indicates that she was prepared for an emergency.
 It Is reported that Arch Duke Leopold Ferdinand has written to Emperor Fran cis Joseph renouncing his rank and dig mites as a member of the imperial house and saying he will become a civil sub 1ect The whole of the Arch Dukes ca reer is redolent with scandal. dating from the tinse when he stsrted to accompany the heir to the throne on c tour of tht world. He only got 20 far as Colombo where be was obliged to leave the shiT on account of his scandalous beha vior The Arch Duke since has been mixed uI in number of affairs and was confined for some months in an asylum

BERNHARDT's NEW PLAY.
Paris Audience Gives the Great
 Actress an Ovation.

Paris, Dec. 23.-Sarsh Bernhardt. play ing at her own theatre tonight, added fresh branch to her many laurels by the creation of the title role in ''rheroisne de Mericourt," new play by Paul Hervieu which deals with the meteroic career of a now forgotten woman who, beginning as q courtesan, became a prominent per sonage during the Reign of Terror and ended in a lunattc's cell.
 The drama follows the outline of the heroine's story but the author has exer- cised the drametists license to render her more sympathetic and interesting. The action shifts from Vienna to Paris and number of the stirring scenes of the revo- luton are re-snacted with much realism The play ends In the Salpetriere asylum where the mad Theorigne evokes the phantona of the celebrities whose heads she saw fall under the guinot4ne It places many historical personasss upon the stage comprising sixty roles. Mn'e' Bernhardts impersonation of the heroine was warmly applauded by a typical au- dience of Parisian first nighters. The piece Is superbly staged and presents an interesting revival of revolutionary Paris with the picturesque costumes Of taA epoch

WILL TREAT FRANCE RIGHT.
Castro Promises to Safeguard Her
 Claims.


 Paris. Dec, 23.-The Foreign Office has received President Castro's acceptance Of the conditions of the French note. The President says France will receive equal treatment with the other powers In the settlement and payment of claims. The purpose of the French negotiation was. as previously pointed out to safeguard French claims against being sVbordinated to those of the powers which are adopting forcible means for their collection. It Is expected here that the United States and other powers, which are not resorting to force, will receive similar assurance to that given to France.
 The official view here favors, first, arbi- trahon second, the appointment of an in- ternational commission to execute the ed- cision of the arbitrator similar to thse commissions appointed in the case Of Egypt and Greece. In case the commits sion is appointed it is probable that the French claims, which 1t had been de- cided to submit to arbitration will be in- cluded in those to be considered by ths commission.
