Glimpses ofthe Manner of
Louise's Escape.
BYH0RSEAND BY AUTO
Agents OF the Officer Whom She Loves
Were on Hand to Assist Her in Gain
ing Her Freedom. The Chamber
maid Who Struggled
Love Letters.
(By the Associated Press.l

Bad Elster ,Saxony, Sept. 1.-Prin-
cess Louise of SaXe-Coburg, it now ap-
pears, ESCAPED alone from her hotel at
o'clock Tuesday morning. She was
joined under the trees in the hotel
garden by two women and man.
They entered twO-horse carriage
which was waiting outside and were
driven swiftl-- away in the direction
of Munich. A man nameds w. Gratz,
who was stopping at the hotel, has not
appeared since Monday night. 1t is
supposed that he provided the means
for the flight of the Princess and that
he was an agent of the Lieutenant,
Count Acknowledgements with
whom she eloped in 1897.
Beyond the outskirts of the town
some of the occupants of the carriage
were transferred to an automobile
and the carriage continued it's rapid
flight, probably to confuse possible
purSuerS. 1t is deemed likely that the
Princess was one of those taking the
automobile.
The disappearance of the princess
was most deXterously managed, as
she was under sharp surveillance day
anu OOlIl NY dil cSpcCldlly tIuSl-
worthy court lady, with three servants,
and by the manager of the royal
bOthS who had been made responsible
for her safe-keeping.
A chambermaid who had access to the
Princess apartments carried notes res
ularly between the Princess and
another person. 1t was in this CORE
spondence doubtless that the plans to
escape were conveyed.
The pursuit is not likely to be keen,
as 1T is very well understood that the
husband of the Princess is rather
pleased than otherwise at her escape,
because he thinks she has been suffi-
GENTLY punished.
The Sympathies of the Belgian
court have been with her for the same
reason. it being thought that she has
been harshlys treated.
The Princess, it appears, met Lieu
tenant MISREPRESENTATION in the gar
den of the Dresden art exhibit of two
weeks ago. where she was taken under
the escort of Manager Pierson, of the
Sanitorium.

"A NUMBER OF INTERVIEWS.
Governor Aycock, Mr.. Rowland and
Others Expect a Bright Flu
ture for the Road.

Especial to News and Observer
Morehead City, N. c.. Sept. L.
These significant and timely interviews
were obtained tonight:
Governor Aycock said: "The lease
of the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad will, think. be gratlfica-
ton to very large majority or the
people of the State. The rental PAID
is sufficient to be a matter of concern,
but the main interest of our people
centres in the development OF the
fertile and beautiful section through
which the road runs. Mr.. HoWland
manifestly intends to put forth the
utmost eXertiOn to stimulate ana
foster agricultural and Industrial ac-
tivity / believe that he Will do a
great service, and that the lease of
the road will within five years meet
with the approval of all the people
from Goldsboro to Morehead City.
What Governor Jarvis Thinks.
Governor Jarvis said: "A great
piece of work has been done for East
ern North Carolina in taking the At
lantic and North Carolina road out
of politics and the shifting changes of
State administrations and putting 1T in
the hands of business man with
energy and means to improve 1T. ana
use it for the development of one of
the very finest sections of our State.
L feel confident that the next two
years will demonstrate to the satisfac-
ton of every body the wisdom of
what has been done today"
Mr.. Foy's Views.
C. e. Foy said: 81 have been very
much opposed to the lease and while
l think the State has made a very
unfortunate trade and turned loose a
valuable piece of property for a con-
sideration much less than it's value,
l have every reason to believe that
Mr.. Rowland is Il most excellent bust
ness man and an honorable gentle
man, 1 believe he will do everything
in his power to aid in developing this
country which is already increasing
more rapidly than has ever been
known heretofore. The future of
Eastern North Carolina was never so
bright and promising. The possibili-
ties are far greater than the most
Sanguine expectations of any of our
people"
An Interview With Rowland.
Mr.. r. S. Rowland said to me to-
night:
Il much appreciate the kindly treat
ment that l have received from the
people of this section that / have met
and / can assure them that we shall
dlTcduy nave lHelT Interests dl HedIl.
Everything possible will be done to
develop the resources of the entire
region through which the road runs,
and the new management of the road
will work in harmony with every legi-
innate enterprise along it's line.
1--WE intend to put the roadbed and
rolling stock in first class condition
to enable us to run fast freight and
trains to handle the various
products of land and seat in such man
ner as to enable them to reach mar
ket at the earliest possible moment,
and in the best possible condition. To
this end we will at once advertise for
100000 cross ties and at the earliest
date practicable win replace the light
rails now in use with heavier ones"

Toxic, Sept. Is D. m.)-Tokio
rings with shouts and cheers for the
victory at Lao Yang. Lantern bearing
crowds swing through the streets and
surge around the staff offices shout,
ing, "Banzai!"
The details of tojays fighting ard
scanty. 1t is only known that at dawn
today General Oku's army was hurled
against the Russian right center on
the southern line and that the Rus
slams were forced to abandon their line
and positions and retreat. Their pur-
suit is now in progress The result of
this pursuit and the result of the fierce
battle waged on the eastern line.
where General Kuroki is assailing the
force which has long screened Lao
Yang, together with the abandonment
of the Russian right center on the
Southern line, exposes the RussiaH
left But here the Russian force IS
so heavy that it may possibly be abba
to protect and extricate itself
Occupation of LiaO Yang?
The question of the occu-
patton of Lao Yang by the
japanese is in doubt. The official
dispatches do not make mention OF
such occupation, but it is assumed that
the Russians are Withdrawing through
Lao Yang and that the Japanese pos
sibly occupied it late today. Tonight
no estimates are obtainable of the
losses on either side. Field Marshal
Oyama describes his losses in the
morning assault as heavy. The early
success of the attack was somewhat
unexpected on account of the strength
of the Russians and the nature OF
the Russian defenses. 1t is confidently
believed that Field Marshal Oyama
will press the pursuit with desperate
vigor and inflict on General Kuropat-
kin the most crushing blow possible.
1t is believed that his trophies Will
prove valuable. IT is the opinion here
that the Russians were not able TO
carry many guns with them and that
thew were forced to abandon or de-
stroy vast quantities of stores.
