DUKE OF ORLEANS
 SEEKS A DIVORCE
IN SPITE OF ADVICE TO THE CON- TRARY HE SAYS HE WANTS TO pERPETuATE THE ROYAL LINE OF HIS HOUSE.

Vienna, January 15.-The Allgemeine Zeitung says that Duke Phillip of Or leans is seeking a divorce and that he has petitioned the Curia for dispensa- ton to enable him to marry the C-,ughter of a great Austrian nobleman. The paper asserts that the duke con- suited the leading members of the royalist party last summer and informed them of his intentions, giving as a reason that his present union was childiess, and that he desired to continue the royal line. The royalists endcavc red to dssuade the duke frcm taking the action he proposed and pointed out to him that his divorce and re- marriage would scandalize Catholic cir cles in France, the chief supporters of the royalist cause
 It at first appeared that the duke ac- ouiesced in the wishes of his followers but he now renews his request to the Curia, urging the nulliflcation of his marriage on the ground he was forced into the union.
 The noble yyoman which the duke de- sires to marry is not named in the All eemeines statement, but she is described as a princess, brilliant violinist and one of the most fascinating figures in Vienese society.
 The arch duohess has repeatedly tried to induce the duke to live as more con- sstent claimant to the throne of France. It is said that the development of the case will depend on the decision of the Curia.
 Duke Louis Phillip Robert, head of the Bourbon Orleans house, married in 1S96 the Arch Duchess Marie Dorothea of Austria.
 The woman whom the duke desires to marry is said to be Princess Clenentine. daughter of Pauline, princess of Metter- nich- -Sandor
