THE DARMSTADT SCANDAL.
New York, May 27. — A'cable special to the "World" from London of May 26th aays :—" Another crop of scandal is proraised in connection with the left-handed marriage of the Grand Duke Louis IV. of Hcs?e. Louis wishes to get a divorce to please his mother-in-law, Queen Victoria, but now threatens a flight, and Mme. Kolemiro promises some ugly revelations. She says the Grand Duke's life since the death of his wife, Princess Alice, would not bear close scrutiny, and she has the best of reasons for knowing of some of his lapses She also says if she has committed such ante-nuptial sins as are charged by the Grand Duke, she did not sin without a partner, and that if there was any sin and any partnership therein the Grand Duke knows who the partner was. She declares it the height of ungenerosity to tax her with such offences to gratify the spleen of another woman, and she threatens to tear the whole of Darmstadt to pieces, morally, if the Grand Duke persists in his attempt to secure a divorce.
