thetic manner, which was followed by
), Prince Ernst calling on the imperial
family at Potsdam to thank the em-
peror, was one of the first steps in
closing the gulf between the Hohen-
zolIerns and the irreconcilable Guelph
duke of Cumberland, who still main
tanned his claims to the Hanoverian
throne.
Princess Victoria Louise will be Fl
in September. She has been much
petted, but has not been spoiled. She
| is favorite with the imperial family
She can not be termed beautiful, but is
attractive and has a certain charm.
She is a favorite with the German peo-
pie because of her girlish simplicity,
her unaffected manner and dress and
her close attention to her mother, the
empress, which has always appealed to
German women. She has always been
regarded more as a child than a mar
riageable young woman. She lacks the
beauty, vivacity, charm and chic style,
as well as the popularity, of her sister
in-law, the Crown Princess Cecilie.
Often Reported Engaged.
The princess has been reported as
engaged to almost every eligible young
prince in Europe. Last year it was re-
ported that she had fallen in love with
Count Fugger, an officer in the EN-
perors bodyguard. The kaiser soon
took her to Corfu, for the purpose, it
was said, of enabling her to fo' {,
the count. A few months later it was
reported from Neustrelitz, where she
was visiting, that she had fallen in |
love with Prince Adolph, the heir To
the throne of the grand duchy of Meek
lenburg Strelitz, and that the engage
ment might soon be expected. The
princess was brought home and the }
prince was sent away for time.
The negotiations between the kaiser
and the Duke of Cumberland, the
claimant to the Hanoverian throne.
FOR the latter's son to marry the prin-
cess have been going on since last
all. There seems to be some prob
ability that Prince Ernst will be given
he throne of Braunschweig-Lun
)urg later on. There is even talk that
he kaiser may endeavor to have
schweig-Lunenburg raised to
,ingdom so that his daughter may be
queen.
Prince Ernst is now an officer in the
3avarian heavy cavalry. 1t is an
that he will receive commits
ion in the Zieten Hussars, one of the
ldest and most famous regiments in
'ermany. The marriage will probably
axe place on the birthday of the
impress, October 90.
Count Fugger, with whom Princess
'ictoria Louise was reported to be
ladly in love, and, according to Cos
ips, it was her most serious affair of
he heart, is a scion of family which
as the financial Rothschilds of Ger
lany during the reign of Charles "
he Cumberland family is one of the
chest in Germany today. 1t is said

Trade One Throne for Another.
AS a result of resolution of the
derated Council of the empire no
mberland can mount the throne of

unce their claims to the Hanoverian
one. While it is said that this re
