LONDON — Princess Diana has agreed to a divorce from Prince Charles, ending a stormy marriage that began with a glittering ceremony in 1981 and collapsed 11 years later after both sought solace in affairs.
The Associated Press
The decision to divorce means
Diana never will become Queen of England.
No financial settlement for Diana was announced, and there was no word about whether she had won the role she wanted as an informal goodwill ambassador for Britain.
Charles, Diana get a royal split
Diana's agreement apparently caught Buckingham Palace by surprise.
There also were sharp differences between the two sides concerning whether Diana would retain her title as Princess of Wales.
Diana's representative said she would retain the title, but Buckingham Palace insisted that no titles had been discussed yet.
The couple, who separated in 1992, has two sons: Prince William, 13, and Prince Harry, 11. William is second in line to the British throne, after Charles.
Yesterday's announcement was
the culmination of years of reports on Diana's and Charles' troubled union, ranging from TV interviews that captivated the nation to tabloid speculation about whom they might marry next.
The public airing of their troubles created a spectacle that led some to

Sausage plant fears new neighbors
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Ultimately, Chicago is going to have to choose — sausage makers or yuppies.
A developer wants to turn an industrial plot along the Chicago River into an upscale island of townhouses, residential lofts and single-family homes. But the owner of the Vienna Sausage Co. fears that once the well-to-do catch a whiff of hiswiener factory, Vienna's days in Chicago will be numbered.
"At some point it will become so difficult we'll have to pack our bags and leave," James Bodman said.
And if Vienna Sausage leaves the city, so will its 500 jobs and $18 million annual payroll.
opment. "This is a tremendously big issue."
"A lot of passion has been stirred on both sides but particularly among people backing Vienna," said Matt Smith, representative for Chicago's Department of Planning and Devel-
Chicago likes sausages the way Brooklyn, N.Y., loves bagels. Ads for hot dogs are everywhere, and hot dog stands are emblazoned with the name Vienna Sausage. The company was founded in 1893 and has been cranking out meat for 25 years.
Across the river, however, is a 20-acre parcel that has residential developers salivating. It now is home to shuttered warehouses and other industrial buildings.
Bodman said that if and when the city committed itself to the project, Vienna Sausage would start making plans to move out.
Sold as industrial property, the land is worth about $4 million; with a zoning change, it could be closer to $17 million. Developer Ron Shipka wants to build 525 residential units. Total cost: $125 million.
Shipka said his survey of businesses in the area turned up not one objection to odors or noise from Vienna.
Try standing 180 feet downwind from the plant some summer day when it is 95 degrees — right where the development would be — and inhale the fatty, rancid odor, Bodman said. Homes also could wind up with grease on their windows.
"It might take us five or 10 years,
but we're convinced that if they build residential, that will be the death knell for our ability to stay in Chicago," he said.
City officials have said they want to preserve an industrial corridor along the river that for generations has provided thousands of factory and warehouse jobs.
But huge chunks already have given way to restaurants, bars, boutiques and loft residences. The zoning ordinance is Skippa's only obstacle to continuing this trend.
