Millions have been spent to present high-class music to the public. But it is an acknowledged fact that all attempts have been failures. Italian Opera and German Opera have been tried and sung to empty houses. American Opera has gone up like a rocket and came down like a stick. At last there is a chance for success, since the German, the Italian, the American Opera has gone.

The Irish Opera is here and here to stay. It will be heard in Baltimore next week in the new farce-comedy success, DOWD'S NEIGHBORS," which comes here direct from New York Gity, where it scored a big success at the Bijou Theatre last spring. Over forty people take part in the performance. "An Irishman's Love," the beautiful Irish Comedy- that is attracting large and delighted audiences at "THE HOLLIDAY" thistweek, is a play replete with pleasing and interesting incidents. The characters represented are true to nature.

Life in "OLD IRELAND" is vividly portrayed. The famous CLIPPER QUARTETTE sing a number of popular songs incidental to the play, and JAMES TOUREY, a genuine Irish Piper, pipes out reels and jigs as only an Irishman can. The heroine of the play is MISS LIDA HOLDEN LESTER. She is supported by J. B.

MILITARY USE OF -The use of bicycles in the military service of European nations seems likely to be a permanent feature. In Switzerland legislation is proposed for organizing divisions of bicyclists in the standing army and militia. To each staff is to be allotted a certain number of wheelmen, the general staff having one officer and fifteen privates. Germany has made a number of experiments with bicyclists in delivering dispatches and scouting in sham battles. Bicycle schools are attached to most of the garrisons in Belgium and the value of the wheel is fully appreciated by the military authorities of other European countries.

In the United States military use of the bicycle is confined so far to the militia service. At the recent encampment of the Connecticut National Guard the drill of a bicycle corps was an interesting addition to the ordinary maneuvers. Armed with Colt's repeating carbine and with a revolver, a man mounted on a bicycle, according to a report to the War Department by Lieut W. H. Bowen, can travel in many places where it would be impossible to take a horse and can be at the in sending messages.

In Lieutenant Bowen's opinion the bicycle service will be advisable as messengers, patrol and advance guards, and he suggests to the War Department the feasibility of extended experiments in that line. DEFEATED BY has been ascertained that four-fifths of the memberg of the Georgia Legislature who voted against and defeated the bill for the transfer of the Confederate Soldiers' Home to the State were themselves Confederate soldiers. Most of them are now active alliance men, and are of the opinion that it is not the right thing for the State to accept the home, which was secured largely through the influence of the late Henry W. Grady. Mr.

Clark Howell, speaker of the Georgia House, in a letter published in the Atlanta Constitution, writes: "While I think that a great mistake has been made in refusing to. accept the home, even without a condition, I am at the same time satisfied that the mistake was an honest one, and that the loyalty or honesty of those who voted with the majority camot be justly criticised." This letter was doubtless elicited by the censure of the Georgia press and a number of indignation meetings, which have denounced the members who voted against the proposed transfer of the home. SMUGGLING CHINESE ACROSS THE BORDER. The exclusion of Chinese from our seaports does not by any means solve the problem of Mongolian immigration. The artful Celestials have found out that it is comparatively easy to reach the promised land by way of Canada, and they seem to be trooping across the border at every available point.

Recent in vestigations by treasury officers are said to show that the Chinamen are coming into the United States from Canada in considerable numbers. It is asserted that organized syndicates in British Columbia and Canada make a business of smuggling Chinamen into this country. Owing to the great length of the boundary line between the United States and Canada, it is impossible to establish an efficient patrol, and the only remedy would be found in an arrangement with the Canadian government which would halt the immigrants along the lines of travel toward our PECULIAR conditions which were attached to a wedding at Atlanta, last week made the ceremony a novel one. The parties were Assistant Postmaster Howard and Miss Bessie Harris, of Dahlonega, and the officiating minister was Rev. Dr.

Hawthorne. The young people wished to be married at 8 A.M., desired no one present beyond the minister and an organist, and wished the latter there so that he could play the famous Mendlessohn wedding march. Promptly at the hour set. the parties concerned were on hand. The First Baptist Church was opened, and as the march was beautifully rendered by the organist, the contracting parties stepped forward, and, with the organist and Dr.

Hawthorne alone as witnesses, were made one. SCALING DOWN dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, to the Cleveland Plain Dealer says: An illustration of the false pretenses of the republican party in attempting to induce the workingmen of this country to believe that they are benefited by the high protective tariff is found in this city. The Columbus Bolt Works is one of the largest manufacturing establishments in this city. and they use immense quantities of iron, all of which is purchased in Norway. This is made necessary because of the peculiar character of the iron used in their work, and they are very beavy purchasers or the raw material, often importing as high as six to ten carloads at a time.

Since the McKinley bill went into operation the increased duty on the iron has caused the firm to look about to find some way to even up the additional expense so that they might be able to sell their goods at the old price. It was thought necessary to do this, and they were compelled to look for retrenchment among the workingmen of their factory, and, as a consequence of the high tariff imposed by the MeKinley bill, they have made general cut in the wages of their employes of from 10 to 25 per cent. This amount will, perhaps, just about equal the increased duty, which is taken directly out of the workingmen of the establishment. The condition of affairs in the Columbus works is only a parallel to what already is or will soon be done in every manufacturing establishment throughout the State, and if the working people can get any consolation or benefit from this kind of high tariff they are welcome to it. In the face of this Major McKinley and the republican stump-speakers are parading around the State preaching to the workingmen that the present turitf laws of the country are the only protection to American industries and American workingmen.

FOR GIBBONS FOR POPE.

The Probability of His Selection Discussed in Rome. POLITICAL REASONS FOR THE CHOICE. Political Questions at Issue Between the Vatican and the Italian Government Cardinals Manning, Zigliara and Valetta Spoken Of, ROME, Sept. the beginning of the year the question of a successor to Pope 1 Leo XIII has come to be much discussed in clerical circles. The renewal of the triple alliance and the downfall of Signor Crispi, as well as the interest attaching to the policy of the present Italian cabinet with reference to the next conclave, have helped to precipitate diseussion.

The political events of the last few months have failed to bring about a better feeling between the state and church. Indeed, the disagreement between the Vatican and the Quirinal has become more pronounced. The Rudini cabinet may have displayed more tact and moderation than its predecessor, but at the bottom the struggle is none the less bitter and intense. It is felt instinctively on both sides that the claimants to the Eternal City are now brought to bay and that the struggle is for life or death. POLITICAL QUESTIONS.

In ecclesiastical circles it has become a settled conviction that the choice of the next Pope should be, above all, a living protest against the status quo and against the occupation of Rome. Leo XIII on his accession had too great political sagacity to entertain optimistic hopes of a reconciliation between the Vatican and the Quirinal. But he did hope for the establishment of a modus vivendi, and was willing to make great concessions to that end. But despite this the status quo has not been modified. The Italian government has persistently declared that the primary condition of every solution must be the definite acceptation of accomplished facts--that is to say, of the capitulation.

The Vatican, Catbolics say. was willing to give, but the Quirinal would only take. In such a condition of affairs it was impossible to lay even remotely the foundation of a reconciliation or a modus vivendi of even the most rudimentary character. A definitive solution of the great problem is now abandoned to the progress of events. The battle goes on, not face to face, but in high places and behind the scenes, each hoping insensibly to compas the defeat of his abhorred adversary.

The partizans of Leo's evenly-balanced policy blame the Italian liberals that the confliet has assumed its present acute stage, and that it promises a tragic outcome. The monarchy, they say, has failed to choose its hour because of fear and from secular considerations, to establish on selid foundations the unity of Italy crowned with the dynasty, and to establish the independence of the Vatican clearly safeguarded before the eyes of the Catholic world and secular governments. GIBBONS OR MANNING. The Arst condition, therefore, according to prevailing Catholic opinion, that should be demanded by the new Pope at the next conclave is a decided and emphatic attitude against the status quo. His name should be a striking protest against the State and the monarchy.

Inasmuch as the Italian liberals are particularly apprehensive of a foreign Pope, this idea of a new incumbent of the apostolic chair continues to gain in strength. Many men of the highest intelligence are beginning to say that this innovation would perhaps give the required solution, or at any rate, furnish a prelude or a beginning of something better. Progressive and clearseeing prelates are saying aloud that cost what it may the Church must emerge from its present stationary position, which is, at the same time, abnormal and cruel. A fact which will unquestionably improve the chances of a foreign cardinal is the attitude of the Italian government, and will quite probably oblige the sacred college to bold the next conclave outside of Rome. In that event it would be extremely probable that a Gibbons or a Manning, or some Cardinal belonging to a neutral country or to some small country like Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, Spain or Portugal should secure a majority when the votes are cast into the urn.

Curdinal Lavigerie, who has dreamed of the tiara as a natural and glorious climax of his brilliant career, seems to be out of the question. The sacred college would hardly choose a candidate, who by his African policy and pronounced French patriotism, has provoked such serious, though unjust apprehensions and passions in countries antagonistic to French influence. But chance will probably have much to do with the final choice. It is quite possible that in the event of war or of the exile of the Pope from Rome, the French, Spanish and Italian Cardinals may seize on some name which would be a standard of protest against the triple alliance. MALACHIE'S PROPHECY.

But names are not so much discussed now as the possibility of a foreign Pope. The prophecy of Malachie with reference to the successor of Leo is recalled with interest. According to this legend the successor of the present Pontiff will come from distant shores from beyoud the great sea (De Littore Veniet.) Who will it be? Lavigerie, Gibbons, Manning, or some priest not yet a Cardinal. Some think the prophecy points te Cardinal Capecelatro, whose family came from Marseilles. The changes going on about the Holy See will have a fatal reaction on this problem of the future, especially as the solution of the Roman question in its last resort will consist in making Rome an international city, where foreign Catholics will necessarily fill a larger place and play a more preponderant role.

Such would be a logical evolution of the forces now at work. Another idea, which has latterly grown into a fixed conviction, is that the next Pope must not favor the triple alliance. This is the result of a belief on the part of ecclesiastics, based on Crispi's recent revelations, that the triple alliance is aimed at the Holy See and the Roman question. CARDINAL ZIGLIARA. The personal friends of Pope Leo, who desire the continuation of his policy, are outspoken in favor of Cardinal Zigliara.

He is a Franco-Italian, who was born in Corsica, belongs to the Dominican Order, and has been established at Rome for a very long time. He is a very learned man, and has a rare mastery of the philosophical and theological system of St. Thomas Aquinas. The reason for this preference, which is shared also by the present pontiff, is that the Cardinal would carry on the work and predilections of the present Pope. That which Leo considers as the distinctive mark of his pontificate and as that which should continue without fail, is the profound scientific culture based on the method of St.

Thomas and in conformity with the new discoveries and the special needs of our epoch. Now Cardinal Zigliara is recognized as the most authoritative interpreter of this science and of this new intellectual adjustment. If he is endowed with less breadth of spirit and less comprehensive intelligence than Leo XIII, if, above all, he is less modern and less forceful, yet he would apply without deviation the scientific ideas of the present pontificate. All who are favorable to the system of St. Thomas regenerated and enlarged by modern science, make no mystery of their sympathy with Zigliara's candidacy.

But will it succeed? It is worthy of note in this connection that Cardinal Zigliara, highly esteemed as he is for his very great erudition, lives in isolation. He remains shut up within himself; he takes no interest in politics; the outside world is painful to him; he fears the daily paper, the modern book; the inventions of the day; he is a golitary. THE NEAPOLITAN PARTY. Meanwhile, a new party is forming, compact and hom*ogeneous. Thisis the Neapolitan party.

The Neapolitan and Sicilian cardinals number sixteen. They form a majority in the Italian portion of the Sacred College. They are a party exceedingly well organized. The financial crisis, the losses suffered in the management of the St. Peter's Pence, have served to call special attention to this party, for Alois, Masella and Ruggiero are Neapolitan cardinals, and they have played the important role in the reorganization of the finances of the Vatican.

It is certain that this party is thinking seriously of securing the tiara for one of its number. The cardinal most spoken of in this group is Cardinal Monaco Valetta, a man of great piety and the confidential adviser of Leo XILI. He is a man of apostolic character, simple and loyal, whom the Roman party would accept. probably with very little difficulty, because he would busy himself principally with spiritual matters, leaving to the Romans all matters relating to the external government of the church. At any rate, this is the idea that finds expression every day in regard to him.

But his candidacy also sents obstacles. The Neapolitan group, precisely because it is powerful, invites opposition. Cardinal Monaco is old, he is afflicted periodically with an indisposition which forces him to avoid contact with the outside world. If Cardinal Rampolls were not the secretary of State (it will be remembered that the secretary of State is ineligible) he would have the best chance, because his unblemished character and his experience in affairs would make him a Pope best adapted to the present conditions which confront the Roman pontificate. Such are the currents of opinion and speculation in church circles at Rome.

No one can guess who will be the next to don the triple crown. But one can form some idea of what the temper of the next conclave will be. GERMANY'S VICTORY AT SEDAN. Twenty-First Anniversary Celebrated- Press Utterances Net So Happy. BERLIN.

Sept. many parts of Germany today the twenty-first anniversary of the battle of Sedan (fought September 2, 1870,) is being celebrated in an appropriate manner with prayer and thanksgiving, with 1estivity and general rejoicing. Twenty-one years ago today at Sedan, a frontier fortress of France, in the department of Ardennes, Napoleon Ill, to with the an army of 90,000 men, surrendered William army commanded by King of Prussia, and the fall of the second empire of France was an accomplished fact. From that date the anniversary of the battle of Sedan bus been a day of rejoicing and jubilant utterances throughout Germany. Of recent years, however, the press utterances upon this occasion have not been so happy as usual, and teday it is noticed that the comments of the German newspapers upon this great anniversary are of a decidedly pessimistic character.

Sedan Day in Berlin was celebrated according to custom with school feasts, services in churches, parades of veterans and banquets to the soldiers of the various garrisons. The principal monuments were decorated with wreaths, and the public buildings and many private houses were covered with flags. A large imperial crown wrought of copper, surmounting the dome of the new Reichstag building, was exposed to view for the first time, the scaffolding concealing it SUN. ing of the Barrow to prevent such overflowing of its waters as at present recorded. EDINBURGH, Sept.

recent storms which have swept over the British Isles have half ruined the crops throughout Scotland and the harvest is at a complete standstill. The gale continued in Ireland, Wales, the North of England and Scotland all day yesterday. All cross-channel steamers were delayed. The Welsh rivers are flooded, and much damage has been done to property. German and Austrian Emperors to Meet.

BERLIN, Sept. William and Chancellor von Caprivi have started for Horn to meet Emperor Francis Joseph. Apropos of the departure of Emperor William tonight for the scene of the Austrian army maneuvers. the North German Gazette says: "The Emperors will again bear testimony to the serious import attached to the consolidation of the alliance between Austria and Germany. The meeting ought to be welcomed as a sign of the indissoluble nature of the alliance and should reinspire the hope that peace will be maintained." VIENNA, Sept.

Deutsche Zeitung says: "Since the visit of the French fleet to Cronstadt the international situation has been greatly modified. 'The German Emperor no longer seeks to visit the Czar. Uneasiness pervades Europe. The meeting of Emperor William and Emperor Francis Joseph thus acquires a greater import than it would otherwise have had." The official Abend Post sees in the presence of Emperor William and the King of Saxony at the Austrian maneuvers continued proof of the firmness and security of the dreibund, and says that the meeting ought to make for peace. Italy's Commerce Falling Off.

ROME, Sept. commerce of Italy for the seven months ended July 31 shows 8 marked falling off as compared with the same period of last year. The imports decreased $20,800,000 in value and the exporta $4,000,000. During the same period the revenue from customs fell off $4,300,000. It is rumored that the government proposes to ask at the approaching session of Parliament for the abolition of the edict of Cardinal Pacca, which forbids the export of the works of the old masters.

It this edict should be abolished it will at once enable Prince Borghesi to be relieved of his financial difficulties and at the same time give a chance to the United States to become the possessor of a famous collection of the old masters. The Pope has named Mr. J. C. Heywood, author of "Lady Merton," one of his private chamberlains.

betrothal of the Czarewitch to the Princess Marie of Greece will shortly be formally announced during a visit of the Czarina to Athens. It is a love match, the Czarewitch adhering to his choice, despite the advocacy by the Czar of his union to a Montenegrin Princess. According to Russian canonical law the marriage is within the prohibited degrees of kinship, but this obstacle will probably be overcome by the cousent of the Holy Synod and an imperial ukase, which is as powerful as a papal bull. The Czar is the de facto ecclesiastical, as well as lay head of the Russo-Greek Church. Russia and France.

LONDON, Sept. Berlin correspondent of the Times says: Russians of suspicious reputation propose to exploit the Cronstadt entente by starting a Russian exhibition in Paris. Reports from Paris and St. Petersburg indicate an intention to erect a monument in each city consisting of female figures clasping hands. German papers commenting upon Sedan Day, dilate upon a situation requiring Germany to be more alert than ever, but they are unanimous that Germany will never begin a war, however provoked.

The French 'Army Maneuvers. PARIS, Sept. concentration of French troops for the maneuvers in which they bare been ordered to engage has been completed in a manner which the ministry of war pronounces satisfactory. The several divisions reached their cantonments in accordauce with the plans laid down, and the train service is commended as admirable. The first series of the maneuvers begins tomorrow.

New South Wales Rejects Protection. MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, Sept. Victorian legislature has passed the federation bill, at the same time adopting an amendment excluding New Zealand from the federation.

ALBANY, N. Sept. New York Prohibition State Convention was opened in Harmann's Bleeker Hall, this morning, with prayer service and selections by the Silver Lake Quartette, the audience joining in the chorus. Francis M. Baldwin, chairman of the State committee, called the convention to order, and after prayer by Dr.

W. H. Boole, of Richmond county, named H. Clay Bascom, of Troy, as temporary chairman of the convention. About 700 delegates were present.

Chairman Bascom in his address assailed both republicans and democrats alike, and berated the national and State governments. He said that democracy once stood for great principles, but it now exists only as a master-call, at which political puppets are expected to dance. Aside from its historic worth, in its best use at this present time. the term democracy signifies nothing but office-getting and office-holding, by methods fair or foul. "Like its rival with historic prestige," the chairman said, "republicanism is simply professional spoils bunting with false pretenses and calumny for ammunition.

Not one political principle; not one vital purpose actuates the rotten parties that bear the names of democratic and republican. The word ill-chosen for euphony and scope, a negative term suggesting an evil and its suppression, is today the only term in American politics that stands for moral progression Grand Army Men and Sons of Veterans Injured and Panic Stricken. OMAHA, Sept. a severe rain-storm at Grand Island, where the State Grand Army and Sons of Veterans are holding a lightning bolt struck the camp. Two lieutenants and four sergeants of cavalry, troop were seated in the first-sergeant's tent.

The lightning struck the tent, scattering the splinters in all directions. Nine men were injured. When the alarm was given the lieutenants and sergeants were found lying flat in the tent with their heads buried in the debris. The guards were prone on the ground. Those who were badly shocked are Sergeants Lubin and Seymour, Privates Lloyd, Ensign Hasley Bromwell and Frank Smith, of Milford, Lieutenant Vosberg, of Lincoln, and Private James Carr, of Staklehurt.

A surgeon was hurried to the scene and the injured men received attention. Sergeant Lubin is the most severely injured, but the doctors believe all will recover. It is believed that had it not been for the metal on the tent pole many people nearby would have been killed. On the arms and legs of the injured there appear great knots, produced by the electric fluid. The injured men are suffering intense pain.

The crown forms an imposing ornament and drew admiring crowds. The Reichzanzeiger suys: "With recollections of Sedan is bound up a feeling of gratitude for the spirit of self -sacrifice by which so brilliant results were gained and satisfaction at the progress made since in the sentiment of soldarity, leading us to vow to bold and protect the blessings won." The Post says: "It is a great error to dissimulate on the fact that the position is becoming worse. We celebrate the victory that saw arise the aurora of the German Empire. In recalling Count von Moltke's saying that Germany must remain fifty years under arms in order to keep what she had won at Sedan, we have no desire to trouble peace; but if others provoke war, Germany will be resolute, and will fight as courageously as twenty years ago, confident in God's The Kreuz Zeitung says: "If war is inevitable it will be a struggle of which the world has never seen the like. Our splendid army and generals of proved capacity and the courage and energy of the Emperor give us confidence in the result, which will involve the very existence of Germany.

If we are beaten it will be Finis Germanise." The Freisinnige Zeitung says: "Germany. unified after Sedan, will remain one. In spite of the divergence between the German political parties, all are resolved to maintain what was got at the cost of much carnage. More liberal institutions would further strengthen the couptry." Pastor Stocker, in a letter to Das Volk, says: "The men of Germany may soon be summoned to defend the privileges won on the bloody fields of 1870, and to fight for unity, honor and liberty. At the critical moment Catholics, Socialists, and all Germans alike, will do their duty." The National Zeitung, for instance, says this morning: "Never before have our minds been so much filled with the possibility of being compelled to fight to retain our winnings of 1870.11 The Tageblatt says that the "internal agitation in Russia is one of the few securities for peace.

The agitation in Poland has increased enormously, and the only hope of the Poles is in the Kaiser, a movement of whose hand will gather around him all the most desperate patriots." PARIS. Sept. papers of this city generally make no reference to Sedan. M. Olivier, in a published interview, complains bitterly of the renewal of the historic charges that his government provoked and began the war of 1870 with a light heart.

He declares that William and Bismarck purposely outFrance and imposed the war. He adds: from her defeat, France is greater than ever." An article by Zola in the Figaro proclaiming the necessity of wiping out Sedan is the sensation of the day. Zola says: "France is ready, and henceforth has nothing to fear. Time has worked for us against the conquerors. Germany is at her apogee of power.

Already one almost hears the voice of the tempest that will sweep away another imperial dynasty and cause to totter a nation that has put forth its utmost efforts. Its best days are over. France, surviving Sedan and drawing strength from defeat, is invincible." DEAR BREAD IN LONDON. The Price Raised Half a Penny on the Quarter Loaf-Russians Eating Grass. LONDON, Sept.

price of bread is rising in London, and the working classes are already beginning to feel the pinch of the distress consequent on deficient harvests. The advance so far isa-half penny on the quarter loaf. People are talking of dear bread during the coming winter, and with the throngs from Russia and Germany that have crowded into the city during the season, it is apparent that charity will be heavily taxed to supply the needs of the London poor. The Salvation Army is increasing its lodging and food accommodation in preparation for the demands of winter, and, notwithstanding the opposition of the church and of the Times, money is flowing in liberally from various quarters to the army exchequer. There is a public sentiment that however crude the army methods, they reach the right spot, and that the poor are assisted without the red tape that involves so many of the London charities.

From St. Petersburg continues to come hideous news of the sufferings of the starving peasantry. In the Valley of Volga emaciated wretches can be seen feeding like beasts on the grass of the fields, while others resort to the forest and chew leaves to assuage the pangs of hunger. When a boat is seen on the river people of whole villages line the banks earnestly pleading for assistance. The government is acting with all the vigor possible, but the absolute dearth of supplies makes it difficult to send relief to many places where it is badly needed.

Even the army feels the pinch, and at remote posts rations have been reduced from a-third to a-balf. A Treves dispatch says that the receipts from the pilgrims who have come to view the hely coat exceed expectations. While a large share of the money is to be retained for the repairing of the Cathedral, the greater share will probably be handed over to the Pope. There are two offertory boxes in the Cathedral on the part of the Holy See. and sometimes as much as 10,000 marks are dropped into them during the day.

The Czar is said to be much irritated by the appearance of another natural son of his late father, following him even to his rest at Copenhagen. The Czar has never taken kindly to his natural brothers and sisters, whose existence he makes no concealment of regarding as a stigma on the imperial house of Russia, being himself a man of strict morality in his family relations. The latest applicant for recognition, therefore, although no doubt genuine, is not likely to get much for bis pains. The British Board of Trade has issued an urgent warning to intending emigrants to beware of Brazil, as the British who have gone there are represented to be in a destitute and miserable condition and generally desirous of returning home. The Board of Trade says that, owing both to climatic and social conditions, Brazil is utterly unfitted for settlement by people from countries like England, and emigration is sure to end in disappointment at the best.

MISS LINCOLN MARRIED.

The American Minister's Daughter Weds Mr. Isham, of New York, LONDON, Sept. marriage of Miss Mary Lincoln, daughter of the United States minister, Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, to Mr.

Charles B. Isham, of New York, took place at 2.30 P. M. today at the Brompton Parish Church. A number of fashionable English people and Americans, mostly intimate friends of the Lincoln family, filed the church.

After the marriage ceremory the most intimate friends of the two families partook of a wedding breakfast at the United States minister's residence, in Cromwell Gardens. The wedding was of an extremely simple character. Miss Lincoln, leaning upon her father's arm, was met at the church door by the officiating clergyman and the boy choristers, who preceded the bridal party up the aisle to the altar rails, where the groom, attended by his best man, Major James C. Post, military attache of the United States legation, was in waiting. The bride wore a white satin gown, a beautiful lace veil and a splendid diamond necklace, the gift of the groom.

In her hand Miss Lincoln carried an ivory-covered prayerbook. Mrs. Lincoln and her daughter, Miss Jessie Lincoln, had entered the church some time previous to the entrance of the bride. They occupied the front pew on the right of the aisle. After the ceremony the newly married couple were conducted to the vestry, where the wedding party, mempers of the families of both contracting parties who were present, and a few intimate friends, signed the marriage register.

From the church the wedding party was driven to Mr. Lincoln's house, in Cromwell Gardens, where, in company with a few intimate friends, they breakfasted. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers. Archdeacon Farrar performed the ceremony. Atter a short tour the newlymarried couple will proceed to America.

THE DARDANELLES AFFAIR. No Immediate Serious Dispute Looked for in London. LONDON, Sept. high official of the foreign office thinks it improbable that an immediate serious dispute will arise over the Sultan's permitting the Moscowa to pass through the Dardanelles. Official dispatches record the fact that the Moscowa's stoppage at the entrance to the straits was due to a breach of the regulation requiring that notice be sent to the Porte and that the Sultan's firman be obtained before making the passage.

The Russian government replied that the customary notice was unnecessary, as the oaly military aboard were soldiers who had been discharged, having served their time. A similar case occurred in April, when a Russian ship, under the commercial flag, carrying soldiers and war material, was permitted to pass through the Dardanelles. The British ambassador then advised the Sultan that Great Britain and the other signatory powers would take united action in the event of any material change in the Porte's policy in regard to the Dardanelles. The signatory powers were cognizant of the Moscowa incident, but do not consider it such a breach of the treaty of Paris as to require a formal protest. BERLIN, Sept.

Hamburger Nachrichten, referring to the Dardanelles question, says that a war favoring British interests would fail, owing to the disapproval of the German people, and adds: "Many European questions exist on account of which it would be criminal frivolity to precipitate Germany into war." The Vossissche Zeitung merely refers to the rumor that a British fleet is about to watch the Dardanelles, and adds: "The powers will never assent to Russia's ignoring the treaty." A FLOOD IN IRELAND. The River Barrow Overflows-Scotch Crops Half Ruined by Storms. DUBLIN, Sept. 2. Dispatches from Waterford state that the River Barrow, in consequence of the recent heavy rain storms, has overflowed and that its waters are flooding thousands of acres of land and destroying the crops near the river banks.

In addition, the waters are sweeping away many houses, barns and other similar buildings, and generally the flood is causing much damage and consequent distress. The Daily Express (conservative) declares that the Barrow flood is due to nationalist obstructive tactics in Parliament, which have compelled the chief secretary for Ireland, Hon. A. J. Balfour, to withdraw the bill providing for the deepening and embank- TWELVE CENTS A SUMMARY OF THE NEWS.

A Governor and Six Others Killed in a Political Conflict. of the Board of Lady Managers to Succeed Miss Phebe Couzins Mrs. Potter Palmer's Report, CHICAGO, Sept. -Congress is to be asked to loan the World's Columbian Exposition $5,000,000 at least, and perhaps $7,000,000.

That is the decision of the national commissioners, and the Chicago directors are giving them strong moral support. For two days a special committee has been holding sessions, discussing the best policy to pursue in getting the loan. This committee is composed ef Gen. St. Clair, of West Virginia, and G.

V. Massey, of Delaware, both influential members of the national commission. Director-General Davis and Directors Gage, Baker and Jeffrey. All agree that Congress ought to make the loan, but how to get it is the question under discussion.

The prisoners were placed in a wagon to be taken to the railroad station and sent by special train to Corinto. The wagon, guarded by troops, was passing through the streets when it was surrounded by a mob shouting for the release of the exiles. The soldiers were ordered to fire, but no one was injured.

He was a very rich man before he took office. Think of the most honest man in town, the man who is your ideal in honesty.
