stroy the official dignity of the kingdom
The seml-official Twentieth Century
points out that the Belgian code stipulates
that the rightssof succession to the throne
pass to direct descendants of legitimate
birth. If there was civil marriage in
Italy, 1t might create potential rights, but,
It is argued, the absence of all records, all
publication Of such ceremony, and espe-
cially the fact that Leopold never pro-
claimed Baroness Vaughan his legitimate
wife, effectually disposes OF the question
Prince AIbert's happy plan to re-unite the
separated family was fulfilled today. AS
Baroness Vaughan passed out forever from
Belgian life, Princess Louise trlumphantly
entered the city and was officially greeted
at the station and acclaimed by the peo-
Pile She was conducted with royal honors
t. the Chateau Belvedere, which hence
forth will be her official home.
Panic mt the Palace.
Again today a vast crowd visited tn.
body of the late king Many of the people
who came in from the provinces were In
censed that the gates were closed at 3
o'clock and they tried TO force an entrance
In the panic, people were trodden on, gar
ments were torn and women tainted. Quite
a number were Injured. Finally the palace
was re-opened and the visitors were allowed
TO defile past the catalogue.
Arrangements for the funeral and the
swearing in Of the new sovereign are pro-
ceeding rapidly An army of workmen has
taken possession of the catnedral, which is
being draped and the chamber Of deputies
Is being rearranged for the ceremonies on
when Albert win triumphantly

success. There are to be so many formal

informal as possible, and this made It one
of the jolliest and most popular given by
the young people. The high school boys
and girls appreciated this fact and every,
body attended. There were two cozy cor
ners, one decorated In the senior colors
and the other in the colors of Les Hiboux
club. Punch was served during the even
ing. The party started with a grand
march, led by the president of the senior

BARONESS LEAVES BELGIUM
FavOrite of Late King Takes Hint
from the Government.
&c AT THE PALACE
Closing of the Gates at 3 O'Clock
Causes Riot in Which Several are
for
Funeral.

BRUSSELS, Dec. A.-Baroness Vaughan,
whom Leopold made his queen in fact, II
not in name, quietly left Belgium today,
her reign ended, her power collapsed. ac-
cepting the hint of the government that
II she did not depart voluntarily she would
be expelled from the country,
The baroness packed up those magnifi-
cent furnishings OF her chateau, which
were the personal gifts of King Leopold,
and forwarded them across the frontier.
She herself took a train for France.
To the Belgians this good-looking young
woman, with brown hair and cleaning
black eyes, was always a great mystery,
but they accepted her like they have the
other whtfns OF the determined and self
willed king. They have thought for years
of her residence beside the kings, OF the
famous floral bridge linking the two domi-
Giles. They have discussed with uncon-
cern her absolute dominion over the king s
private life. Yet, now, with the king dead
they have been driven TO deep resentment
that, as the kings body was borne through
the streets ana was lying in state at the
palace, her photograph was exhibited and
sold in the Brussels thoroughfares and her
name shouted out by hawkers as Caro-
line. the queen"
In spite OF the dispatches from Italy and
other countries asserting that King Leo
pold and Baroness Vaughan had been mar
ried according TO the rites OF the church
the kings personal friends persist In their
disbelief Of this, while they charaeterize
the stories Of a civil union as pure non
sense. They say that Leopold. whatever
his faults in private life, would never de-
