Prince Willing that Matter Should Be Heard
Publicly and Princess also Agreeable.

Gotha, Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha, Oct. 16.-The suit brought by
Prince Phillip of Saxe-C -Coburg and
Gotha for an absolute divorce from his
wife, Princess Louise, and for an ad-
justment of their joint property inter-
ests began here today before the or
binary court for the trial of divorce
cases, the prince having waived his
technical right to have the case tried
by a special court as provided for
under the laws of his family.
Both Waive Their Rights.
Both the principals were absent, but
the Austrian officer, Lieutenant Kegle-
witch Mattasich, with whom the prin-
cess eloped, was present. The presi-
dent of the court inquired of the at
torneys for the prince if they desired
to make any motion respecting the
publicity of proceedings. They replied
that the prince had no objections to
the proceedings being public.
The attorneys for the princess de-
clined to request private hearing.
The president then began the pro-
ceedings by proposing to the lawyers
that the two parties seek to bring
about reconciliation, explaining that
this was not meant to get the prince
and princess to live together again,
but to agree to an amicable separa-
tion and a satisfactory agreement re-
garding property. The lawyers agreed
to take the matter under consideration
and asked for an intermission for the
purpose.
The princes lawyer said the prince
asked for an absolute divorce in order

Boston, Oct. 16.-The story of a
North Atlantic shipwreck in which
eight seamen suffered so fearfully
from exposure, hunger and thirst that
six of them either died outright, were
washed away, or crazed by their fear
full experience, threw themselves in
to the sea, was told today by the two
survivors of the coasting schooner
Vanname of New Haven, which was
beaten to pieces by a gale off the
South Carolina coast, October 6. The
two men who lived throughout the
five days were rescued by the schoon-
er Stillman, which arrived here late
today, are Thomas and Warner, both
about 25 years of age, and hail from
Antigua. The six who succumbed
were Captain VIM. A. Maxwell of New
Jersey, Mate e. A. Chase, home un-
known; the engineer a German, name
unknown; the colored steward, name
unknown, a colored seaman, William
Grizell, and Alfred Arthur, both of
Jamaica.
Springs Leak in Gale.
The Vanname, which has been ply
ing up and down the coast since 1886,
left Charleston, S. c., for New York,
October 8 with cargo of hard pine.
Two days later she ran into a heavy
gale and sprang a leak. The pumps
were started, but within short time
the engine room was flooded and the
pumps choked. At 8 o'clock in the
morning of October 6, with her hold
nearly full of water, the schooner was
hove down on her beam ends. The
crew clamored up on the weather side
and lashed themselves to the bull
warks. There they remained, washed
by the seas that broke mercilessly ov-
er them all day Friday.
That night the storm increased and
great wave crashed aboard, break
ing both legs OF Seaman Arthur and
sweeping Grizell from his fastenings.

Mystery Continues to Surround Sioux
City Double Tragedy.
BY Associated PreSS1
lBy Associated Press ]

by Associated Pressl
Sioux, City, Oct. 16.-The mystery
surrounding the double tragedy in a
hack here last Sunday afternoon has
not yet been entirely solved.
The theory of the police is that l.
s. Darrow, of Lead, S. D., the mine
promoter, who shot and instantly kill
ed his sons wife, Mrs. w. E. Darrow
of Belle Fourche, S. d., and then kill
ed himself, is that Darrow was insane
ly jealous of the woman, or that he
had decided because of his financial
condition that he and the woman
should die together. Strength is given
to the latter theory by certain senti-
ments found written in the note books
of the couple. They had little money,
50 being the total lound in the mans
pockets and rs cents in the woman's.
A letter from Lead, S. D., may have
indirectly caused the woman to lose
her life and her murderer to kill him.
self. In the letter. which was signed
&c. c. IT," the writer told the woman
of his love for her.

Lawyers Reach Agreement.

the couple.
Lawyers Reach Agreement.
During the recess the lawyers
agreed to an arrangement on the fol-
lowing basis: The prince to guaran-
tee payment to the princess of a
yearly allowance of $4,000 and also
to pay to her the lump sum of 100000,
provided she abandon all of her claims
against the prince, and that after the
divorce she adopt the name and title
of Louise Princess of Belgium.
After these statements were laid
before the court another recess was
taken in order that the princess might
be telegraphed to for her consent to
the arrangement.
Later in the day the lawyers for the
princess attacked the competence of
the court to decide the case at all. The
court then adjourned to October 80, in
order to study the question of it's com
potency, to get an answer from Prin-
cess Louise and to settle the applica-
bility of the Austrian law to Prince
Phillips agreement that the court avoid
raising the question as to which is
guilty.
Spent Money Lavishly.
The princes bill of complaint, be-
sides alleging the princess misconduct
with Lieutenant Keglevitch Mattasich,
says that although the princess re-
ceived a yearly allowance she had
contracted debts which amounted to
$744,S12, of which the prince had paid
$2180O0.
In her wardrobe were found rs
pairs of silk shoes, 100 pairs of other
shoes, SO parasols and about 100 hats.
