ROYAL SCANDAL THAT
HAS STIRRED ALL EUROPE

Prince Otto of Windisch- -Graetz. his
youthful and immensely wealthy wife.
the Princess Elizabeth Marie, whom
he married only year ago, and
pretty actress of the opera at Prague
are the central figures in an extraor-
dinary scandal that is at this moment

shoot and seriously wound the actress

rendezvous.
The remarkable affair took place in
the palace Of the estate Of the Princes
family at Prague. 1t came as shock
to the highest circles of Bohemia.
where 1t was supposed that the home
life of the young folks was ideal.
1t appears that Prince Otto had
been secretly paying assiduous atten-

full girl at whose feet were half the
gilded youth of Prague.
The Princess was blissfully igno-

The Prince paled as he realized

CLAIMS HUDSON BAY
As A CANADIAN INLAND SEA
Canada Proposes to ExpeI American
whalers-Expedition That May
Open an Important international

Open an Important international
Controversy.
The decision In the Alaskan boun-
Diary affair gives additional interest In
Canada to the Dominion government ex-
pedition to Hudson bay. 1t is more than
ever a question now with Canadians
how far the yearly occupation OF Hud-
son bay for many years by American
whalers and other fishing craft may
have laid the foundation for a valid
claim on the part of the United States.
II not to the territory surrounding the
bay, or to some of the islands therein.
at least to the right Of continuing the
inland fisheries.
There Is. undoubtedly, a kind OF pan
.cky fear in some Canadian quarters
that the recent victory OF American
diplomacy in the Alaskan matter may
embolden the neighboring republic to
attempt hemming In of the Dominion
on almost every side. The renewal of
the Blaine-Bond treaty between the
United States and Newfoundland is in
terpreted as a movement toward the
annexation of Newfoundland, and the
possible purchase of Greenland from
Denmark by Uncle Sam and the con-
tinued occupany of territory in Hudson
bay by American fishermen are viewed
with no little alarm in certain Cana
dian circles.
1t is even urged now as a reason why
the Dominion government should has
tily dispatch Captain Bernier on his
projected voyage OF the discovery to
the north pole, that it is of national
importance that the flag to be first
planted there should be that of Cana
da. unless she is prepared to see a for
eign flag float over the territory in the
extreme north to which she has always
laid claim.
At all events. the question OF the
legitimacy of Canadian claims to the
exclusive sovereignty of both land and
water in Hudson bay will be put to
test by the expedition which has now
reached it. with definite instructions
from Ottawa to drive out of that inland
sea the American whalers who have,
it is asserted. been using it as their
own for many decades past and disre-
garding British sovereignty and al
legged Canadian rights there.
There is also to be an important
commercial side to the expedition. AS
soon us the American ships have been
ordered out of the bay explorations
will be made into the musk OK coun-
try to the north. where gold is said to
exist, and there are hopes of locating
there what may prove TO be a second
klondike.
Next spring. when the ice breaks up
and navigation is possible, it will pro-
reed to Fort Churchill. on the west
side of the bay. the proposed terminus
of projected line of railway from the
Pacific coast and the Northwest wheat
fields, which will shorten the route to
Europe by more than 800 miles over
that via Montreal and Quebec. Sound
ings will be made in the bay as to the
depth of water in the approaches to
the proposed port, and then there will
be scientific study of the ice currents
and pract!cability of navigation OF

then entertaining in his apartment IN
the palace the lovely rival.
The Princess is, or was, at least
deeply in love with the Prince. and,
it is said, that the news of his un-
faithfulness provoked storm OF pas
sion that was terrible to witness.
Grasping gold-mounted revolver
of small caliber. presented to her by
her recreant husband for protection
at an hour of possible peril. the
Princess crept along the corridors un-
| til she reached the door Of the ante
chamber of the Princes apartments.
A valet stood at the door. He had
, been told 10 guard 1t with his life.
The naughty young Princess COM
manded him to step aside.
He refused, with many apologies.
The Princess advanced to pass.
The valet put up his arm across the
door.
This act infuriated still further the
Princess.
She drew from the folds of her
gown the revolver, and. declaring that
if he did not let her pass she would
kill him, she leveled the weapon at
the trembling valet.
Faithful to his master, the valet
stood, but almost ready to drop from
fright
Then the Princess, slender, tall and
picturesque, fired at the man.
Uttering yell of fear, the valet
dashed down the corridor whereupon
the Princess proceeded to the Princes
apartment, to which the noise of the
thrilling scene in the corridor had not
penetrated.
