Special to tlie HIK. : ] The Due de.Morney's [ wedding with Miss Gusman Blanc came elf at the Clinft'Ii of the Madeleine to-day with splendid eclat. The weather was the ideal Parlsan summer day of du/r.llng sun and cool northerly brte/.e. At noon the massive hrotuoilooisof the Madeleine were thrown Wide open and a crimson velvet earpet was Spread from tlm gianlle steps and reached down to tlie boulevard. The vast church was lilted to overllowlni ; , hundreds of ladles ( standing on tip too on chairs to catch a K glimpse of the biide. 'i'ho toilets were beau tiful , lavender pink , pale blue straw and white predominating. Thousands of people gathered on the sidewalks and In the 1/al- / conies and windows facing tlio Madelelno. At 12:15 : the nuptial cortege appeared. The DucdoMorncy alighted from a coupe drawn by two supeib bays. Ho looked \ery pale and serious , lie was In evening dress , and wore a largo cross and ribbon of the grand commander of the order of Charles 111 ot of Spain. Ills liancco drove nplnalarco landau , with dark brown horses covered with white H..tin ribbons , and with coachman and footmen In brown , crimson and gold livery She wore a white satin bridal dress with a. viiylong train , very simple and entirely coveted by her white tulleveil. . She was attended by three bridesmaids. In the nave of the church six ubhcs In full canonicals performed the marriage service , Abbe Pattls pronounc ing the nuptial benediction. The music was very impiessive , including the Ucus Jsrael of Bec.ihoven , the Ofons Pietas of Haydn , and * Goiinad's Ave Mai ie. The organ was played by Theodore Dulccrs. AtSo'clock all left the church , tlie Due and Diiches.sc do Mornoy driving elf In a coupe drawn by two superb bays. The wedding reception and bieakfast were at the Grand hotel. The due's presents to the bride were equal to those of the famous duke of Buckingham. I will only mention four of them : A superb riviere of diamonds , not mounted ; that is to say , held together by a wire of gold so line that when worn on the neck tlio diamonds only are visible , and liavo the appearance of hundreds of huge drops ot dew. Another present was a magnificent diadem of diamonds , woith at least S O.OOl ) . Then a broad ribbon of diamonds , attached to a sort of gold chain work , bo as to tic and untie about tlie neck like an ordinary silk scarf. Then a fan of white feathers , literally pow dered with thousands of small diamonds. The flowers that the due sent to the bride during tlio thirty days preceding the wedding were superb , no two bouquets ever being the J , same. One day there would boa ship of carnations - t / nations , lilted witli roses ; another day , n . * - - South Amerlcrn hammock , made of twisted lilies of the valley and filled with orchids ; the next day a bicycle , made of corn flowers surmounted by roses ; then a balloon of lilies , with jasmine and pausies ; in short , every floral oriuinality that a vivid imagination could deviec. Among many other striking costumes com prising tlie trosseaii is a moss-green dress of 1'ieneh foille. The tunic falls in straight panneaux , and is draped In front with ciepo do chine. Over the tunic is a dark green velve.t Louis XV casque , with a tigaro vesto richly embroidered and studded with emer alds and gold. One of thu diichcsso seaside dresses Is a palm In Ivory , white and ecru. The skirt Is composed of a deep valant , which is , like the corsage , covered with Venetian i-mbioldery. In fiont of tlio cor- sagu Isa gau/.o ciuvo , forming a jabot. The diiehesso evening toilets are buwilderlngly beautiful. Ono of the richest , 1 won't say tlm loveliest , is u sulphur satin dinner cos tume , consisting of a bkirt draped with crupo do chine , exquisitely embroidered , and spangled - . gled with gold , polannlso of grosse foille , caught up at the hips over n pout'coqulllo , fastened with llttlo satin bows , and n cot-sago which meets ami Is merged In n broad celnture. trimmed with dainty satin bows. Another dinner toilet , only to bo used on state occasions , pel haps chaster In taste , and 1 think more effective , is made of white satin , with aditvctoirocasqiieof while striped Pckln. The skirt is covered with suottcd guuzc , gracefully draped and festooned with white silk. Hound the waist is n broad satin bash , with long ends falling behind und fas tened In fiont by a double row of large an tique enameled buttons , pet In gllver. Like many other duchesses , the Duchess do Mornoy is not above taking a bint liom tlm stage. Thocuilosity of her trosseaii Is undoubtedly a long by/.antino mantle , sug gested by "Theodora , " made of the richest Ivory velvetine , lined with' pink satin and thickly embioldered with by.iuitlno : designs In silk and gold. After the.su marvels , such comparatively simple trilles as a blue and wlntu woolen check morning dress , a dark blue foulard , a flounced walking costume , and a rustic toilet of ecru ttissor , and n stripedmoldclro and white foulard summer dress , specially made forTiouvllluand thoraces races , 1 hellovo would shrink back Into In- blgnilicanco If It were not that each Is remarkable - markablo for some charming detail of cut or trimming. But a robu do Hudson of silver brocade , relieved with rose buds and forgot mo nols , brings us baclc to ducal splendor again. This costume , tlio last I will mention , Is completed by a casque a la Lamb.illu , open ing on a bewitching chemise of pale pink crepe. TUB SKOllKMWP OP I"RANO13.

[ New York Herald Cable Special to the Bin : . ] Parliament closed to-day in tlio presence of the royal princes , Leopold , Lmlwlg , Ferdinand , and Duke Ludwig. The Ilrst president made n lengthy speech , apart of which was a sort of praycn for the house of Wlttlesbach. He concluded by saying : "God grant that we may never have again a session fraught with such frightful convulsions and painful excitement as the session just closed. " All tlie members withdrew amid wildly enthusiastic cheers for the king and the loyal family. The queen's mother Is to-night worse with sevnio lever and sharp pains TIIE BIRMINGHAM I'KT. Chamberlain's Sxvuy Declared to be Glvltifi Out. BOSTON , July 1. The Herald staff correspondent pendent cables to-night from London that it seems apparent that Chamberlain's personal and local sway Is now restricted almost en tirely to Birmingham. Yet , even there , he Is not supreme since in several of the seven divisions of the borough the Gladstone feel ing lias been so strong as to oblige the mem bers seeking re-election to make concessions or risk defeat by Gladstone candidates. The political history of the past fortnight in Bir mingham is slngulailv interesting. Of seven liberal members live voted against the home ule bill , bui it is by no means clear that five- sevenths of the electorate approved of their vote. Gladstone's followers have been men aced by their own friends with tory votes. So confident arc those who threaten that no tory will compete witli the unionist , even lie might win against tlio dividend liberal vote , that tlio compact is suspected of being some thing more substantial than appears on the surface , aome indiscreet expressions which have fallen from the lips of Arthur Chamber lain have little loom for doubt that Ins brother has something very like u formal understanding on the point witli Lord liundolph Churchill. On the other hand there aie but few votes that will be Influenced by. the personal nature of dilliciiltles which sundered Chamberlain from his old chief. Thu Birmingham pet has complained in pub lic of one of these. His grievance is that after being uskod to join tlie cabinet for tlio purpose ot inquiry into tlio cause of Ireland's trouble , he was left out of the inquiry alto gether. In private lie says Gladstone is a man witli whom it Is next to impossible to work ; that ho is domineering and Impatient of discussion when it docs not take the form of eulogy. The return without opposition of Liverpool yesterday of three conscivatlves Whitley , Kayden ana Baron Henry C. Worms signifies nothing. It Is true each was opposed at the last elec tion , but in tliat contest VVhitloy and Kayden won their seats by more than twofold major ity , and so Worm had a margin of a seventh ol tlio vote so there was no encouragement for opposition to their re-election. Tlio First GlndHtouinn Defeat. LONUOX , July 1. In the election at Col chester to-day , 'I. J. Trotten ( conservative ) polled 1,990 votes ; It. K. Causton ( < ! lap4oii- Ian ) 1,701. This Is the first contested bor ough. The result Is considered to have special siunilicanco. The Pall Mall Gazette said If Colchester went liberal , the fact would clvo heart to the party throughout the land , The result shows the Gladstonlan candidate lost eround. Among the districts in which tlio conservative candidates were unopposed were Blackburn and Croydon , although at the last election the liberals made u good light at both places.

Secretary of PANDEMONIUM LET LOOSE , Confusion Worse Confounded in tbo Iowa State Democratic Convention , KNIGHT'S BOLD DENUNCIATIONS. Ho Wants the Ko.stcrlttR Sores on the President mitt ills AtliulnlKlra- tlon Lnlil lliirc Stormy Scenes Follow. A Dcinnorutla Fnrcc. Dr.s MOINUS , la. , July L [ Special Tele gram to the BII : . ] In the wildest days of greenback madness or democratlo discontent there never was seen in Iowa such a state convention as the democratic convention here to-day. Pandemonium let loose but faintly describes- scenes of riot that were enacted. All went smoothly till the com mittee on platform made its repot t , and then the ball was opened. The majority report re solved in favor of local option in counties and municipalities , and for the enforcement of prohibition whore that was oidered , and where It was not , the substitution of a license whose minimum amount should bo SAOO. This was n lemnikable advance over other years , and brought the democrats to the old camping grounds of the republicans. It was an nma/.lng spectacle to see democrats , who all their lives had denounced prohibition as wrong in principle , stand up and demand prohibition lor the counties that might want It. Tlsls sentiment , however , was conlined to the democrats from the Interior , or , as they were called , the "slough water districts. " Tlio river counties brought In a minority re port consenting to local option In cities , but leaving , as an alternative , a license without any sum mentioned. Then the light began. Fifty men were on the lloor at once , clamoring to bo heard. The local option and high license men in sisted that the democratic party was beaten last year because it had not the couraco of its convictions and took up low license to please the saloons. The river counties retorted that they furnished tlie democratic majorities mid had a right to be heard. They weie willing to shut their eyes to consistency and take lo cal option , but they demand ( lie right to lix their own license fees and icgulate their own saloons. Hamilton , of Leo county , who wrote the minority resolution , stood in the aisle expos tulating with the convention and exclaiming in a demonstrative way : "Wo will go with you against our judgment to local option , but for ( Sod's sake let us regulate our own license. " Schmidt , senator from Davenport , spoke In a similar strain , while Senator Knight , ot Dtilmiuo , demanded to know whether this convention was there to stand by demooiatic principles or to juggle with expediency In the hope of catching some unwary republi cans. Ho warned the convention that if it passed this high license fee and forced it upon all communities , whether willing or not , the democrats of tlio river counties would not be satisfied and would not go into the light with a prospect to win. But itva s in vain , for tlio "slough water districts" out voted them and c.-.mped on the practical pro hibition ground by 174 majority. * The turbulence that this called out was nothing to that which followed when a mem ber sent up a resolution denouncing , in the severest language , the senators who took § 210 back pay for the vacation before the Brown impeachment trial began. At once there was a motion made to lay the resolu tion on the table. The convention voted this down and Senator Knight , of Diibuque , waving his tall white hat to attract thu atten tion of the chair , obtained the lloor , and in stentorian tones declared : "Mr. Chairman , 1 tiruud the resolution as a lie , and I denounce the authors of It as a liars. The senators liavo performed services for which this pay was taken. " JIo then launched out into a vigorous defense of those who had taken the back-pay , claiming that they were entitled legally and morally to it. A rural delegate shouted out : "Dm you take the money ? " "Yes , 1 did , and I would do It again , " was Knight's ringing reply. "You'll never got another chance , " screamed a dozen voices. At tills the Dubmpio delegation , sixteen 111 number , headed by .Mayor Slab , rose to their feet and. waving their arms , yelled : "Ho will ! Ho will 1" "We'll send him again. " "Yes. 1 will , " said Knight , "and I defy this convention , mid 1 defy tlie men who wrote that resolution , to do me harm so long as 1 have tlie confidence and support of tlio people - plo I represent. My coiihtituuncy endorsed my action and sent mo to this convention us chairman of tlio delegation , and 1 don't care a farthing for your resolution , whether you vote it up or down. Jf you wanted to de nounce ical abuses and real evils , why didn't you denounce tlio president of the United S ates for bowing down before the corporate monopolies and veto ing tlio DCS Monies river land bill at the de mand of a gigantic land grab ? Why didn't you denounce him for depriving poor settlers of tliulr rights ? Why didn't you denounce- the judiciary department of tlio government , loaned down with Pan-Klectrlc stock , and become - come a shame and disgrace to the country ? Why didn't you denounce the members of your last legislature that rode on the passes of corporations and then drew from tlio treasury mileage for every milo they traveled in coming to the legislature ? " At this point ho was Interrupted with hlssosand groans and yells of "put him out. " His words had fallen like a thunderbolt among the astonished delegates. Knight had been thu Idol of tlio democratic party. An eloquent , powerful speaker , a gentleman of many graces , tlio convention was nearly struck dumb nt his tierce Invectives upon the administration. Congressman Cook rushed to the platform and exclaimed : "This Is outrageous. Senator Knight Is a gentleman and has aright to bo heard. " "No he hasn't when ho abusns n democratic president , " shouted several angry delegates. "But I will bu heard , " said Knight , "and you can hiss , as becomes your nature , but 1 defy you to come down to Dubumto among my friends and hiss mo there. Von pass u lot of fulsome llattery of the president that you know doesn't mean anything , and the same men , for tlio saku of cheap glory , fulmi nate against better men , or us good men as they ever were. I say to you , gentlemen , thai you had better direct your surgery. If you want to correct evils , to the festering boresof the president and his administra tion , i Yells and hisses ot rage and horror. ) Hiss If you want to , " ho continued , "I care not for your hisses and abuse so long as 1 am fortified by tlio respect und regard and contidcnro of the people of my constituency. " Ho sat down , and the convention , as by one accord , bioko for tlio doors and ad journed for dinner. But it was plain to be seen that the hone and enthusiasm of the convention had all vanished , Thu daleirales wi'io ' too umd for sober utterance. They went swearing down tlio streets , threatening vcngenco upon Knight and all his friends. When the convention reassembled the light was resumed. A n attempt was madeto compro mise the affair by a substitute resolution put ting the blame upon the republican party for passing the law under which tlio senators took back nay. Tills resolution was greeted with derisive shouts of "that's too thin , " "that never will do , " Then an attempt was made to carry the previous question and shut plf debate , but that failed and palidemonlum broke loose again. Senator Johnson , an other democrat who took tlio back pay , de fended his action , hut was hooted down , aim hnaHy the censure was wsaqd , with a hurrah wud then the convention went to the nomi nation of state olliccrs. lint the discord had taken awny all Interest In further pioced- inga , Many delegates left in disgust , and the convention concluded Its work witli 111 feel- maud shame and chagrin manifested on t ery fac * . Cato JjcUi of UlacJ ; liawk county , was nom inated by acclamation for secretory of state , and Paul Onclick tof .Burlington , was nom inated for auditor. The convention of the greenback party met in Lewis opera iiouse with about one hundred delegates luesont. There was some opposition to fusion , but the majority were Inlavoraiid concluded a contract with rep resentatives of tlio d 'inocratle party on con sideration that they lib allowed two places on the ticket , and nominated therefor Daniel Campbell , of Monroe county , for treasurer , and William Thcophllus for clerk of the su- pieme point. This action being announced to the democratic convention , the latter com pleted Its work by nominating for attorney general C. H. Mae.key , of Keokuk county , and Frank Bradley tor supreme court re porter , of Audubon countv , and then ad journed. The following Is tlie democratic platform : The democracy of Iowa , In convention as sembled , announce the following platform nf principles : That the clean , pure and honest administration of drover Cleveland Is a mat ter of just piIdn for every American citizen , without distinction of patty , and we most cordially and heartily aptnove and applaud the noble , determined und successful efforts of the president In the Interests of good itov- ernment , and we pledge him our continued support In all such elloits. That the nohlo and manly efforts of Gladstone stoneIn behalf of a representative govern ment for Ireland commands our uiuiualltlcd upplnnso. That we most heartily express our apprecia tion of the serviceof nil union soldiers-uud sailors , and recommend tlm lullest recogni tion ol thelrservle.es in defense ol our conn- trv by ample and liberal pension laws , making allowances to all who rcculved Injuries or disabilities in tlio service , and to those de pendent upon them. To that end we con demn private bills and special legislation , which favor a few to the detriment of the manv , and favor general laws that will ena ble the pension bureau to bestow the go\ em inent bounty upon all meritorious claimants. That to Impose taxes for any other purpose than the raising of necessary revenue for the support of thu government Is unconstitu tional and wholly inconsistent with our boasted freedom. Wo theieforo call upon congress for the Immediate revision of our tariff laws to u revenue basis , to the end that every Industry and every section may enjoy perfect equality under the law. That we insist that the surplus revenue ac cumulated In the treasury of the United States , not needed to defray the current ex penses of the government and meet the ap propriations made by congress , bo applied to ilm payment of the public debt. That the public lands nro a trust held by tlio government as the heritage of its people , and that they should under no circumstances be alienated from its citizens nor made the subject of barter and sale tor speculative pur poses , but should be held for actual settlers who purpose , by their own labor , to buildlup in our country a homo ; and we demand the immediate and unconditional forfeiture of all unearned railroad land grants. That , recognizing Industry and morality as tlio standard of individual and national greatness , and that the foundation of purity and happiness in tliu'homo would secure to thu laborer a partlclpatlDii in tlie fruits of his toll , and a share to the family and the homo in the refining influences of advancing civil ization , we therefore call upon all who may havoat hcait the greatest good to the greatest number to join with us in sicurln ; . ' , by un prejudiced legislation , a just recognition of the rights of the toiler , und in protecting the Individual rigtits of tlio laboiers by proper , equitable and honorable safeguards against tlie present and threatened encroachments of monopoly corporations.- , Westernly denounce the betrayal of tho'ln- terests of the miners ot Iowa by tlie last repub lican legislature and Its shameless violation of the pledges given ; by its platform and party leaders as shown by the defeat of the measures of relief demanded by the miners of tlio state. Tle ) only safe foundation for free representative government Is equal rep- rescntion in our legislative councils. - . - * - : . Wo denounce tiie action of the last republi can majority In-tho li < st. general iisseTffiiTyTifi' * he passaite of the cqhcri'ssiona 1 reappohlon nient and legislative rcuistricting bills as a bold , corrupt and despotic dtsfranchise- mcnt of large bodles-of our people in order to perpetuate tlio power In the lancl of the re publican party , and to shield it from tlie just and certain defeat which its partisan mis- manaeemcnt so surely invites. A party so lost to all souse of justice and decency , so ob livious to the rights of a free people and , the principles of popular government , is wholly unfit to bo trusted witli further political power. That wherever a public officer Is shown to have been corrupt , or to have violated the laws in his otlicial position , wo call for his prompt conviction and severe punishment. Mo long continuance in dishonest and illegal practices can be accepted as a shield orpallla- tion of guilt. Recent disclosures of republi can maladministration , corruption , doiianco of law and abuse of power-call loudly for the punishment of many guilty men and for driving from power a party which has so dis graced und debauched the administration of public affairs In Iowa. That wo favor the repeal of the present prohibitory liquor law of this state , and an enactment. In lieu thereof , securing each county and municipal-corporation the right to determine lor Itself the prohibition or license of the sale of intoxicating liquor as a beverage , providing by proper legislation for the enforcement of prohibition where prohi bition Is adopted , and where license Is adopted , for a license fee not less than S500 , with such legislative restrictions as will pro mote sobriety and suppress free whisky. Wo cordially invite all persons believing In the foregoing principles to unite in over throwing the party in power in this state. Tlio convention sent tlie following cable gram to Gladstone. : DIK Moixns , Iowa , July 1,1SSO. Hon. W. K.

If these demands mo not cumpllcd with , wo shall probably quit woilc the 1st of August. " "Wlmlnro thcso demands ? " was asked. "It Is not to secure an Increase of pay. " WHS the reply , "but rattier to prevent the com pany from reducing our salaries , us has been the custom for several years past. 1 can bet ter Illustrate my Idea by taking the case of .1 ninety-dollar man whom the company lias seen lit to discharge. This man's place will boiilled by a slxty-vlollar man , which makes n practical reduction in that ease of SfSO a month , In the event of the discharged operator rater belli ; ; reinstateilby the company , he will bo fortunate toftevback'nt $ ( tt or , at the most , 870 a month. The WesternJjUnion olll- eials arc afraid to make a systcmjfiuq reduc tion nil along the line for fearof p'reelpltatrftic. a strike , \\hlcli would crcatu a strong public sentiment In our favor. For this reason lli'ey employ the method 1 have Just described , whll'h bus amounted , in the last three years , to a cut of probably S5 percent. " "In the event of a strike , will thn men who took your places In the former strike 'scabs , ' as you call them oppose you again ? " The operator smiled. "It would surprise you , 1 dare say , to learn that the 'scabs' are the most aggiessive element we have among us. By a soil of retributive justice they seem to have suffered worse than those of us who went out in 18S3. hi the great majority of cases they were inferior men. The com pany ottered them the highest rate of wages paid at that time. They were not woiththe salary then , and are not now. Tne company latterly lias been discharging them upon the slightest technicality and ic-cmploylng them again at about Halt' their former pay. All the strikers were taken back at greatly reduced wages , and consequently they hnvo less grievance than those who took their places. Nevertheless , wo can't permit the company to continue cutting down , and for that rea son shall ask them to cry a halt. If they don't agree to our proposition. It is very probable a strike will be ordered August 1. Our organization Is now incorporated In the Knights ot Labor , who will give us the bone- lit of their experience as well as their moral and mental suppoit. If wo do strike , " ho added In conclusion , "you may look for a dilToicnt termination from that of thrco year ago , " , . , } , The Switchmen Bcntoii. 1.

The strikers still keep clear of the vicinity under the triple inllueiico brought to bear on them by lear of arrest , the influence of their leaders and tlio presence of deputy sheriffs armed with Injunction writs. - Injunction junction writs next to rille.s , are weapons most iireadeil by strikersand tliev are careful to afford them no opportunity of serving them.

Prospective Ucvivnl of tlio Tripartite on n Peace Knot Ing. CHICAGO , July 1. [ bpoelal Telrgiam to the llr.i : . ] Tnero has been considerable change In the compromise proer.uumo to set tle the western Height war. The ma/lagers / liavo given up the meeting called to arrange the affairs of tlio western freight association nli < i President 11. It.Cabloof the Uoek Island has issued a notice that there will bo a meetIng - Ing of -'Tripartite" ( Western Trunk line ) association , July s. To this helms invited Vlco-Prcsldont Potter , of the IHirllneton.and Marvin llughitt , of the Northwestcrn.iieither of whom Is a member. The Union P.u'llic , It Is stated , Is particularly anxious to revive tlio "Tripartite- order to protect Its busi ness from Invading roads In Nebraska and Wyoming. It Is not believed the Burlington and Noilhwcstern will consent to the proposition. The St. Paul of- clals appear to bo as anxious for peace as they foimerly were for war. The Watuih Is anxious to remain In tlio combina tion , hut it Is doubtful whether It will bo re admitted upon the same favorable terms It formerly enjoyed. When the tripartite com bination was ilrst formed the Wabash system had not been dismembered. Ithavimidropped since its main line Irom Chicago to Omaha , It will be requested toMibmil. to a reduction In its peicoiitaio or go out of combina tion. That the Wah.ish will resist this Is quite eeilaln. Kansas City merchants are bitterly complaining because- - Council Hi nil's and Omaha merchants get the benelit of war rules while they ( Kanas City merchants ) are compelled to pay lull tariff rates , thus preventing Kansas City merchants tiom com peting with their competitors at Council Bluffs and Omaha. If the present war on Council Bluffs and Omaha rates does nut soon come to an end the Southwestern rail way association will lie compelled to reduce rates to Kansas City and southwestern Missouri points. In the western freight rates yesterday on open rate was nude by all roads on lumber to eight cents per hundred Hounds from Chicago and six cents from Si. Louis to Council Bluffs and Umalm.
