A GRAND DUKE'S WOOING. His Efforts to Win a Daughter of the Prince of Wales.
Mr L\bouchkre's special cables to the " American Press " on Juno 7th :---" I announced two months ago that there was a project of marriago between the Grand Duke Michael Michaelovich of Russia and one of the daughters of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
