LATEST ROYAL SCANDAL
Involves Trouble Between Count and
Countess de Lonyay.

Vienna, Jan. 13.--Serious differences,
according to Die Ziet, have arisen be-
tween the Count and Countess De Lon
yay formerly the Crown Princes Ste
phanie) during their stay in the south
of France. The count is reported to
have suddenly left his wife, and to have
since given no intimation of his where
abouts. The nature of the alleged diff
ferences has not developed.
The Crown Princess Stephanie of
Austria Hungary, widow of the Arch
duke Rudolph, and daughter of King
Leopold of Belgium, was married,
March p, 1900, to Count De Lonyay, a
popular diplomat of high standing in
court circles. who is now about 80
years of age. In November of the fol-
lowing year it was announced that Sc
rious differences had arisen between
Princess Stephanie and Count De Lon
yay, due it was said, to the fact that
the princess felt that the sacrifices she
made in order to marry the count were
altogether out of proportion to the
measure of happiness which she found
in the union. 1t was also said that she
was very imperious, arrogant and in
sanely jealous. On the other hand it
was asserted that the count could not
conceal his disappointment of finding
that his marriage, instead of improving
his position, had resulted in his being
practically ostracized by all the reign
ing houses of the old world.
The marriage of the princess 20
Count De Lonyay was bitterly opposed
by King Leopold.

China Says II Cannot Pay
Indemnity in Gold.
Unless She Can Collect Duties in Gold,
Practically Doubling Them.
Submission of Matter to The Hague
Seems Probable Course.


Washington, Jan. 13.-The state de-
partment has been informed by Minis
ter Conger that the Chinese govern
ment has professed its utter inability
to pay the Chinese indemnity on a gold
basis under present conditions and has
suggested that if the powers insist up
on such payments of the indemnity
then China should be allowed to collect
the import duties in gold. This would
practically amount to doubling the GUS
toms receipts.
Secretary Hay replied that SO far as
the United States is concerned, having
agreed to accept the payment of the in
demnity on silver basis, it could not,
of course. consider this last proposition.
What the powers will do is unknown.
1t is felt here that the only logical So
luton of the problem is submission OF
the matter to The Hague tribunal, as
has already been proposed by China.
