LONDON , July 27. [ Now York Herald
( Jiblo Special to TUB Br.i : . ] At Bucking
ham to-day , nrnid all the splendor and pomp
of royal ceremonial , Princess Louisa Vic
toria Alexandria Dogmar of Wales was mar
ried to Alexander William George Duft ,
curl of Fife and Viscount Macdutt The
wedding bells never rung a merrier peal to
Enalish oars than those of yesterday.
The marriage had to the nu-
_ tion that simple human Interest
which attached to nil marriages , strength
ened a ml deepened by the love and loyalty
of u great pcoplu for the most popular prince
ntul princess over destined to rule the land.
During his many years experience of "that
fleroo whtto light tliut beats upon a throne"
the Prlneo of Wales has , day .by duy ,
through his wisdom of notion and simplicity
of manner , pained a tlrmcr and more
lusting hold upon the affections of his
subjects. While in the mother country ,
through the world's ' ndvanco in clvllbutlon ,
monarchy hat steadily grown older toward
decay , It 11 to utrltto now and strong roots
within thlt British realm. By his side has
been n lovely woman. Nature made a sovereign
eign and accident uipicon , to bo with delicate
beauty that scorns pionf against time. With
a gracious charm no fee to thrones could
possibly resist , with ttio radiating kindness
of a truly royal heart , this prlnces , this
wife and this mother is more loyally
loved by England with every day of her
Yesterday thfslr luuilly tics Jor the lirst
time were pandered by marriage. A daughter
tor wont forth to become a wife , and vlth
the universal hope for the future happiness
of the bride and with all good will tow.irds
the old homo that she Icavns and the DOW
homo she will attorn , the British people
Wished their princess well.
The marriage was in every way a wlsoone.
Five centuries of the host blood of Scotland
should Hi uny man to Join the royal lino. The
ecclesiastical dignitaries at Buckingham palace -
ace to-day not only wedded a princess and an
carl ; they also wedded n const-Union and u
tin one. The Hanoverian escutcheon nas so
long been absent from the royal arms that
the wisdom of tnopollcy which no longer loons
to foreign couits for bridegrooms la univer
sally endorsed. As the Countess of Fife ,
Princess Louisa will be one more band bo-
twcon tlio people and their sovereign , one
tnoro factor in the natural unity which has
always been England's strength and pride.
The morning was dull nud cloudy , with a
promise of rain. The royal standard above
Buckingham palace floated loyally m tint
light breeze. The promise of rum was not
fulllllcd , however , and about noon the sun
changed from an astronomical buspiclon to n
choeiful fact , though It did not
shlno very long. Buckingham
'paluco yard was brilliant with
Life Giiauls' uniforms und the gorgeous II v-
ones of passing servants. The mall WIIK
densely crowded with people ull about the
gate , coger for a momentary view of royalty
uud the roy.il guests. Plccadully was also
crowded on both sides for miles. Largo
throngs had { mtticrcd about the Hyde
park entrance. 1'ollcomen on foot
oud mounted were as numerous
In nil St. James district as bluebells
bolls in a German cornfluld. The decora
tions were not generally In the streets , but
nevertheless Buckingham palace road was
brilliant with lines of flags.
In Pall Mall , Piccadilly , Regent street
r.nd that vicinity many royal and loyal
tt adcsmon dressed their builulngs with red.
All the balconies commanding a
view of Marlhorough house were
lined with ladles in bright costumes and gen
erally Drlllmut holiday nttlro. At least
fifteen thousand persons determined to sen
the wedding procession , and accordingly
hurried early In the day to form densely
packed lines along the route from Marlborough -
borough house to the palace. Two thousand
policemen kept the roadway open.
The fiHits ( of clubs and buildings facing
Marlborough house gate und around the
corner In St. James street ivtro decorated
with HUSK and royal rod. Windows , bal
conies and house tops wcro ugiow with sinil-
Inir fuc'ofl and varlugatod toilets , Detach
ments nf richly uniformed horse guards gal
loped upon their spirited black steeds und
took thulr position , part utthooudof Palt Mall
and part In Murlborou'gli yard , whore ulna
maiiy sitcctators wcro thronged. Everybody
was Intensely expectant and many , \\ouien
wore unduly excited. A dojoli or moro
fainted und \veru with much trouble nxtrl-
calcd from the jam.
It was ton minutes to 1'J o'clock and ten
minutes behind the programme tlmo
when the -gates opened and the start
for Buckingham palace was made. Seven
rovul and rcsplundunt carriages , with nu
merously uniformed postillions and an ei-
cert of horse guards , were required for the
bridal party. Princesses Victoria and Minnie
of Wales und their brothers , Prince Albert
Victor and Pi woo George , occupied the IIrut.
carriage. Quickly following tills cauui the
jjrmeosi of Wales and her brother , the
croiyii prince of Denmark , As U al
ways tbo CIIEO the people cheered
her. The ijtioou'n carriage , In which redo
thoPrlnco of Wales and Princosa Loulso ,
emerged fioni the garden gao ) instead of the
exit , as did the others.
The chief Interest , of courio , was uiunl-
fofttad lu the opiKmranco of Princess Louise ,
the bride expectant. As she wiu recognized
the enthusiasm of the people broke into
cheer nnd waving of handkerchief * as her
iurrlaj0 { proceeded along thu deosoly packed
lines of people. In the other royal car-
riagei were the king of the Hellene *
anil Lord Colvlllc , of Uutross , Lady Emily
KluymxJto , Lord Sullleld , Uoaurul Slrdm
pjmbru. Sir Prune ! * ICuullyn , Mlt Knolly/i ,
Major General Arthur Ellis and Colonel
Clark , most of whom arc connected In nn
ofllclnl way with the princess1 household.
The procession proceeded to the palace by
the mail and arrived a few minutes after 12
o'clock. The carriages passed through the
mall and up tho' Buckingham palace
road wore filled with guests in all the
shimmer of satin nnd the brightness of flow
ers common to the drawing room. They
net down at the Pinillco entrance and re
ceived by gentlemen ushers In lovco uniform ,
They were conducted by a rather devious
route through the halls and corridors to
the vestibule of thu chapel , where there was
n small rush of very notable people , nil ar
riving at about the same timo. The vesti
bule wan banked on both sides with palms ,
hydrangeas and nrapanulauft , with a rich and
nnd brilliant bed of whlto flowers below
them.
Among the first arrivals were Lord nnd
Lady Randolph Churchill-nnd in this floral
bower , with her clear brunnotto complexion
admirably set off by a dress of yellow satin
and u largo dlamoitd star shimmering above
her forehead , Lady Churchill made a most
striking feature.
Mann , Marchioness of Allcsbnrg , In royal
purple and velvet , arrived Just after und
then came Lord nnd Laty | Wantage , the
focmor wearing a general's uniform with
many medals. They had scats on the loft
below the organ , and Lord nnd Lady Salts-
bury also took snats on the left.
Gladstone wora the uniform of nn elder
brother of Trinity house dark blue , with
epaulets.
Hint portion of the chapel reserved for the
guests filled rapidly. Tlio Lord nnd Lady
Aborcorn , Lord and Lady Uosoburry , L.idy
Spencer , the Dukaand Duchess of Westmin
ster , the duke In scarlet uniform , with the
Order of the Garter , nnd thu duchess in
ivhitQ brocade , with a diamond tlr.ini ; Hon.
ly Matthews , homo secretary , the Duke
and Duchess of Argyle , the duke
wearing n kilt ; ttiu countess of Cadogan ,
the duke of St. Albans , the dowaror duch
ess of Atholo , the duke of Portland , the
dowager diu'hcss of Roxburgh , thu duke of
Richmond and Lady Lou ox.
The royal chapel was rather a strange
nolange of colors and arphitocturu. A deep
red dado rises for ten feet aiound the walls ,
nud above this arc panels of blue and gray
rcauhlng to the celling , und narrow wings
At each side the roof Is blub and rcctaugu-
ur , In small bluish gray squares , with pale
: ) lnc squares inside them , each carrying a
medallion of white. The room in its entire
ly , including the two wings nud vestible , is
only tlrirty by forty feet. Tlio floor oropor
s twontj by thirty feet , and was covered
with a dark red carpot. This was thickly
set with rod chairs with wnito and gold
frames. Fine dark brown columns were
twined with Ivy and water lilies for a
third of their height. Between them hung
arlunds of pink roses. The organ loft on
the loft was underrated , and sent a mass of
litteiing rays from Its gilt carved front to
tangle up the color in tha scone. Light
ctimofrom two rows of small square windows
dews just uuuurnoath Uio rcof on aacb side ,
the glass belnt ; In white and yellow squares
with a wide border of blue at each side.
The pulpit at the right of the altar was of
yellowish grey.caeved marblo. There was
u. huge bank of palms in the place usually
occupied by the clorjjymon. The pedestals
of the colunis was of dark yellow pi aincd
marble twined with Ivy , ami Detwoen them
was a wide red cushion fronting the first
tier of wide pews. A rod prayer cushion
was affixed to the back of the front row.
The chancel was hardly big enough to
comfortably hold the updating clergyman.
It Is enclosed by u low rail of red satin , and
has palings of gilt above. All was majjnifl
cent in reds and crowns representing the
baptism of Christ by St. John. It was so
elaborate and so Imposing that it lent a religious -
ligious feeling to the piituro which the
blu/o of color would otherwise have
desttoyed the gallery was undocorntcd <
Have for a line of ivy along the front and the
queen's ' pew. The others wcro occupied by
the guests , her majesty sitting In the front
row on the loft of the muiu iloor , next to the
altar rail.
Notwithstanding its small size , the chapel
was not at all crowded , every seat having
been marked on a plan , nnd every guest con
ducted to his prearranged place. The choir ,
consisting of twelve girls und boys in wlnto
surplices , were grouped ut tbo loft of
the organ. A march specially composed begun -
gun to swell forth a few minutes after the
appointed hour , and the Archbishop of
Canterbury , bishop of London , dean of
Windsor , and Rov. F. A. J. Ilervoy , were
conducted to the altar. The clergy wore In
full robes of white and presented a strong
color contrast to the elegant masses of color
that had begun lo lighten up the gloom.
They , also presented a rather
peculiar feature in the shape of
medals on their loft breasts , Mr.
Shore wearing two , the Archbishop
of Canterbury one , and the bishop of London
one. Within the altar roll tbo Archblshou
of Canterbury took his position on the loft ,
the bishop of Loudou on the right , and the
others behind.
In the meantime the royal family had been
assembling In the Bow library. The clergy
had scarcely taken thlr places when n flutter
and a faint hum announced the coming of the
royal procession. It was led by the house
hold officials , ushers , equorrfcs In waiting ,
and lords In waiting. Then cumo
Princess Victor of Hohcnloho , Prlneo
Victor of Hohenloho , hereditary prince of
Hohealoho , Duke and Duchess of Teuk ,
Prince Francis of Tock , Duke of Cambridge ,
Duron of Poivolrummlngon and Princess
Frcdcricka , Prince Hunryof Battonburg and
Princess Buatrlco , Prlncuss Louisa and the
Marquis of Lornu , Prince and Princess
Christian Victor and Albert of Schlus-
wig-Holstuin ; Priuco George of Wales ,
Prince Albert Victor of Wales , Crown
Prince nf Denmark , Princess of
Wales , King of Grouco , Viscount Lowlso-
liumVlrc Chamberlain Lord Mnntudguumbo ,
lord ( steward , grand duke of Hessu , and
flnitlly her majesty , the queen.
An occasional march rolled nut front the
organ and ner majesty was conducted to 0110
of thu whlto and gold chairs ut the left ot
ttut altar with the Grand Duke of Ilesso on
her left , a lit tie in front and the King of
Groceobehind her , tlio princess sitting behind -
hind thu King of GI'OJUJ and u little to her
right , liar majesty wore a dioss of heavy
black brocade , with small white spots. Shu
were her usual whlto cap with a umall crown
of diamonds ubovo it.
The Princess nf Wales were tha most
bcAUtiful of all the dresses with
which . ttio rose of Denmark has
set the fashion for tha world of women. It
wae the most dollcuto uud delicious shade of
silver grey satin nud brocade Imaginable.
Tlio brocade was u running pattern of flow
ers and leaves , the ( lowers much resembling
those of , an Indian pink , and the long train
was perfectly plain. The white skirt was of
grey sutln duchess , with a tabller ot grey
tulle , embroidered with silver and rivers of
silver brocade , Just edged with a narrow sil
ver ribbon , a high bodice , with a V-shaped
lu front , a high collar behind. Her
royal highness has never boon bettor nulled
In style and color. It was a Dublin dress.
The scene now was n moat hrilllimt ono.
All the men , with ono or two exceptions in
levco dress , wcro in uniforms of various
colors and much gold braids. The indies *
dresses wore magnificent , nnd diamonds la
brooches , sprays , pendants and tiaras
sparkled everywhere.
The royal family ware in the powa at the
right nnd loft of the altar , an 1 back ot the
group formed by her majesty and the
Princes of Wales the gentlemen In
waiting formed a brilliant ncmt circle. The
most conspicuous figure in all the brilliant
picture was the quean's Indian attendant ,
standlnir black and impassive behind her
her chair In dark blue , with a pold-chascd
shoulder bolt , whlto duck trousers and patent
leather shoos. There were savor.il mare In
dian attendants.
Now comes the bridegroom , the Earl of
Fife. Ho had been waiting In the new
luncheon room with M. Hora.o Farquhar ,
his bust man , and thither the vice nhuncollor
wont to bring him in. As ho nppairod in the
vostlbuloTannhuuscr's march began to sound ,
nnd husband-to-be walked dlgnlllcdly up the
narrow aisle. Ho Is a tall and slenderly built
man of forty , ot dark complexion , wllh dark
brown moustache. Ho were the blue and
whlto uniform of n colonel of tno First Bouff
artillery. It Is not a handsome uniform , nnd
Lord Flfa would have boon handsomer in
something else. Ho took his place attho
right of the opening in the nltar
rail , and M. Farquhar , placing himself
on his right , was unfortunately put in n state
of eclipse by tlio largo alabaster pulpit.
Lord Fife was no moro nervous than bride
grooms are wont to bo , but ho was no less so.
The reputation naturcl to so Important an oc
casion did not leave him during the cere
mony and ho stood at a rather chilly distinct
from the bride , whose responses were much
moro clearly audlblo tUnu his.
It was not until the ceremony had
comu to nn end and the almost
ecstatic Joy of the queen over the
first marriage among her grand
daughters had subsided , that the carl , now
Duke of Fifo , sooined quito at ease. Every
body was now in place except that most itn-
portunt part of a wedding programme the
brldo. The bridal party was assembled In
thu library. Eight beautiful bridesmaids , lu
exquisite dresses , awaltud there for Princess
Louise. They were In themselves a wedding
nnovalion , due to the fact that two of them
were sisters of the bride. It has beou the
custom hitherto in royal marriages that the
blide shall have for her attendant maidens
daughters of officers of England ,
two of them being princesses of
the blood royal. On this occasion all hud to
be princesses of the blood royal , and so tt
happened that they wcro Princess Maude ,
of Wnlcsj Princess Victoria , of Wales ;
Princess Louise , of Schlesswig-Holstein ;
Princess Victoria , of Schlesswig-Holstein ;
Countess Fedora Slcichen ; Princess Victoria
Mury , of Trock ; Countess Victoria Slci
chen nnd Countess Helena Slelchon. The
bridesmaids were In beautiful gowns of
palo pink 810111011 no and China crepe. They
wore open in v-bucks nnd front and folds of
crepe und silk , arranged to cross over tho'
sleeves , came to the elbow and were finished
with loops of crepe that looked as If they
would Just cover the point. The skirts ,
thoui'h plain , wcro elegant , and contained
rather moro silk than crape. Each
bridesmaid were a single row of
peurls round her throat nnd a
gold bracelet , with the initials of the bride
and bridegroom in brilliants , with their re
spective coronets. Those were thn gift of
Lord Fife. Each were in her hair on the
left side a spray of red rosebuds.
The bridal party were escorted to the
chapel by the vice chamberlain nnd lord
stew.ud. Princess Louisu was on the arm
of her father , the Prince of Wales , tUo
bridesmaids following in tl0 ] order named.
Their coming was announced by the
"Lohengrin" march on tbo organ , and Just
as It was swelling into the cnsmnblo the
prince nnd his daughter .appeared at
the dour. The prince was in a field
marshal's ' uniform of scharlct , with white
gloves , All eyes , however , were turned
upon the bride. She were a very rlcn dress
of whlto satin.
The procession advanced up the nlslo to
thn uitur rail. There the Prlneo of Wales
left his duuuhter and took a position on the
left , the brldo und bridegroom standing in
center , und the bride's maids in pairs behind.
The Archbishop of Canterbury conducted
the whole service , none of the other
clergymen assisting him. It was
the usual marnugo ceremony of
the Anglican church , nnd lusted thirty-five
minutes. A happy omen presently appeared
In the shape of a flood of sunshine , bathing
the bride and bridegroom and lighting and
intensifying the combination of brilliant
colors in the chapel. This oamo Just us the
service began. The Priuco of Wales
guvu away his daughter genially
and royally , and with the benedic
tion came a few momenta of Joyful
excitement , which broke through the stiff
ness of the pompous ceremonial and showed
that hearts beat quite as warmly under
crowns and coronets as under fustian caps.
Her majesty the queen rose rather hastily
considering her lameness and kis.sed her
newly married granddaughter on both
cheeks. She turned to the Earl of Fifo and
extended him her hand to kiss , which ha did
bout on bis right knee. After that her
majesty shooK hands with him. The 1'rln
cess of Wales also extended her
hand , which Lord , Fife also bent and
kissed , und there wore u few moments of
what In any other plnca than the royal chapel
would have been called a huppy confusion.
During this the bridal anthn-n was sung ,
und then to the uiuslo of Mendelssohn's
"Wedding March" the procession loft the
chapel. It was headed by the brldo and
bridegroom , after whicn came the brides
maids and then her majesty , escorted
by the grand duku of Hesse. Afjur these
came the suites and guests.
The bridal party wont first to
the lower drawing roomvhcro , \
the register was signed by the
brldo and groom , and witnessed by her maj
esty the queen and the Prlneo and Princess
of Wales. It was duly attested by Secretary
of State Matthews. Then tbo party proceeded -
coedod up the grand staircase , and this was
ono of the most impressive pictures of the
day , Tlio magnificent , massive stairway ,
with its lines of heavy gullding , was n solid
muss of dark green palms , firs , and grace fu
lo.i\rs , banked In tbo recosd on each uido.
From out the wall of dark green projected a
fowshow.v lilies and u few slender and drooping
tiger lilies. The majestic line of white
dresses of the woddlng party and the bril
liant colors of the royal uniforms , all rising
out of the couipiratlvo gloom of the first
floor into the sunlight of tbo landing , with
the glittering uniforms of tbo yeomen
against the walls of the hall , formed a his
torlcal picture that should make the cour
painter , If there is one , sigh over his lost
opportuuity.

LO.NDOX , July 2f. [ Ne\y York Herald
Cable Special to Tim BKE , ] At any ruto
wo have not beou dull in , ho bouso for the
; iust three nights. Tbo meaibcrs have not
jono about the lobbies yawning their heads
oft nnd wondering why on cnrth they were
over such fools as to coiuo to this place of
-ortnro. Besides the speeches in the house ,
wo have had ull the fun o ( tno fair in
the lobby's gossip about so and
so's intention , Irreverent sneers
at the grand old man from , the radicals ,
speculation as to what Lord Randolph meant
o do , rumors of discontent athigh quarters
it the uncertain and erratic course pursued
by the mlnlstory in reference to the royal
grants , nnd ull sorts of odds and ends such
is are in brisk deinand whenever a crisis is
in the uir. To be sure this was not much of
u crisis to boast of. Tlio only incident of the
least Importance , oatsido of the division ,
which was a certainty all the way through
was the now split in the radical nurty.
Mr. Labouchore , if ho succeeded in noth
ing elbe , did certainly succeed in throwing
the apple of discord among the regular lead
ers of the party. Ho sot all tha Gludstonl-
uns by the oars and then mockliigly congrat
ulated them upon tbelr unity.
Mr. Morlcy is against Gladstone , Pnrnell
votes for the government , Trevoly.m goes
contrary to Morley , not that it
matters two straws which way ho
gyes. Dr. Tanner and William O'Brien
walk into the same lobby with Bulfour nnd
tor.v "coorcionists. " Nobody .knows where
to find anybody else. Take th6whole house ,
shako it up together and empty 1t out on tbo
floor and you have the soft of class which
prevailed last night. WeU-/biriy / the portly
Monhistopbolos bo proujtf'of his work.
No doubt It is ' n foot' not without
significance that as U&iny _ ns. _ U < j
members of the house j yoted against
any further grants whatovJr to the royal
family. Explain it how you may it is s sign
of the times which all concerned "would do
well to reflect upon. To realize what it
moans it must bo remembered that the ad
verse vote was cast against the advice
and oven the ontroiuies of Glad
stone. It is said that the people do
not care much about the issue. It maybe
bo so ; personally I only received about half
a dozen letters fiom my constituents , but
they nil asked mo to vote against the grants.
Perhaps it is because the real facts are not
understood outside of the houso. Whatever
may bo tbo cause , it Is certain that the
pressure brought to bjar'upon the members
lias all been hostile to them. It was time
that something like llnalfjy was arrived at
in these matters.
It Is to believe the whiter that Is going
around in very select circle } as to the pain
nnd mortification which the recent proceed
ings have Inflicted upon the -Prince of
Wales. Ho has tried very hard to do his
duty and bo might have thought that a little
generous consideration would have boon
snown him on the occusipu of the first marriage -
riago in bis family , The Jungle In parlia
ment over the small sum asked
for his daughter almost minglou
with th'o sound of the wedding
bolls. No ordinary man of fooling could full
to be affected by the btterncis ( which bus
been shown. Still all tie ) foremost men of
the time have stood out resolutely for the
crown , The royal fanll'y ' nro never llkoly io
bo left alone whenever , If over , the day of
trial comes. On Monday the contest is to bo
renewed , for the money has not yet boon
voted. There has been only a preliminary
skirmish , but what remains must bo a mere
idle show and waste of tlmo.
It Is a pity for tba sake of Mr. Morloy's re
putation that ho has consented to plav the
somewhat ludicrous part which the fear of
losing his seat Induced' him to take up. Ho
agreed to the proposed grant In committee
und ran away from It at the first growl that
reaches him from his constituents. And yet
a sturdy conscience and rigid consistency nro
supposed to be his great points , and that ho
would do what ho believes to bo right though
tuo heavens fall , , The heavens may fall ,
but let his constituents frow/i / nnd his courage
and his conscience , both 'mult ' away. An
evening paper over whlch'ho ' still possesses
Influence says that Ills ? * proper name is
"Honest John. " One snipocts very much
from moro than ono passive in his career
that "Honest John" would bo ull the better
for a sllffer backbone. Hc 'wilts at a mo
ment's notice. In couimitu&bo voted for a
grunt which on Monday he is going to ask
the house to reject. Wo Imv-a tha nssurunco
of Mr. Gladstone , 'and ( of ' , ho govern
ment , of Lord Hartiopton and of
all the responsible men of the
duy that no moro grants 'sl | U bo applied to
the present reign. That wui'ult Mr. Morley
asked for. Ho IK.B got'It"and still bo Is
afraid to do what a week ago ho practically
declared to bo right , lib Is going to renew
a debate which IB virtually dead. No man
could do It successfully , Mr. Morley , all
things considered , U about the very last man
who should try such an experiment ,
There Is one thing about the royal wed
ding winch you muy-or may not be aware of.
The aristocrats uro not all pleased with it ,
The very thing which delights the people
generally , namely ihat Princess Louise , of
Wulea , has married a subject und not a "lit
tle Gorman" is regarded with Jealous eyes
by the upper classes. No doubt ono of tbo
queen's daughters bad already married a
subject , but she , was oqi In the
direct line of succession , and the.children of
Princess Loulso may be. ThO-Earl of Fife
might become hlng consort. Other cobles
cannot contemplate that contingency , how
ever remote it may bo , without chagrin.
Whether the Marquis of Salisbury has pre
sented a retnonstru- on tbo subject or not
I cannot say , but there bad been n good deal
ot grumbling on the subject privately.
"Once break down tbo royal casto" It is
said , "nnd it cannot long survive. " The
divinity that doth bodge n king will dis
appear. "Beware , " tiald the croakers "of
leading people to bcllovo that n monarch is
made of tba sumo stuff ns other men. "
There Might have boon something in Mils
cry n hundred or two hundred years ueo , but
it 1 comes A little late In the day now. The
mystery of monarchy has not been able to
survive the democratic shocks of
the last fifty years. The Gorman
princelings who marry British gold
hnuanot contributed much to thu nwo that
surrounds royal cask ) . Undlsh people , ns a
rule , would rather see the dnughtur ot thu
Prlneo of Wales given to a imtivo noulemau
of ancient lineage than to another Batten-
berg. Whether tba uiistocraoy like It or not
It does not much matter.
"Wo shall have some of them marrying
Americans for tholr gold , " said n horoltlcd
person to mo the other day Well , why not !
I should have thought that anything wns
better 1 than marrying a German lulventurer
nnd fortunu hunter.

Special to Tun Bun. I The Herald has
recounted m-detall how , on the night of
July 15 , Minn. Kuhn , conclerco of a house m
the Uuo Bonaparte , was murdered by three
persons whom the police found It Impossible
to lay their nands on Gordon , chief of de
tective's , on whom tbo Herald correspondent
called on Friday , sadly acknowledged that
ho had not n single clue , but was hopeful.
Gordon's predictions hnvo been realized ,
and the murderers are to-day under look and
key.
key.Tho
The story of how this has been arrived at
is interesting ns showing the method of the
department over which Gordon reigns. For
several days thu chief aotcctlves had reason
to bollovo that thoHno Bonaparte murderers
inhabited the Mouporncsso quarter and con
sequently directed their researches in that
district. Detectives Sulvillo nnd Guy were
Instructed to scour ull the wineshops where
criminals congregate and a number of de
coys were told oft to prevail upon some one
or other connected with the murder to
"peach. "
One of the decoys brought to the chief n
piece of information which nt first sight
seemed too strange to bo true. This wns
that ho had obtained from ono of the tirin-
citiuls of the murder a confidential account
of how the crime bad been
committed and who bud been
bis accomplices. Although it seemed
likely that that the decoy had been hoaxed
by Bomo practical Joker , Gordon decided to
follow up the Information on a chance of Its
amounting to something. Ho dotailcdjn-
specters Galllnrdo , Soudalso and Bouorlot
to track the individuals whom the decoy
asserted to bo the persons whom the police
wanted. The Inspectors quickly ascertained
that two of tha presumed murderers werouta
public ball. Policemen in plain clothes were
posted at the doors , and when , about 12
o'clock , the persons wanted made their exit ,
they were collared and conducted to the
station. Hourio Rlbox and Albert Ceuu-
troux , who has the additional appellation of
thu "Sardine , " nro their names. Though only
twenty-ono nnd eighteen respectively , they
uro personages of no mean importance in the
ciimmal world , having been condemned for
ono crime or another six times.
Meanwhile Inspector Galllardu nnd Boucr-
let were keeping watch on the Kuo Cam-
pagno , where Pillot , another of the pre
sumed murderers , resided with his mother ,
a widow who earns her bread by selling
milk. Midnight passed , 1 o'clock also , but
still the bird would not fly into the not. It
wad nearly 2 o'clock In the morning uro Pil-
lot sought his pillow. When a detective
entered the apartment , nud arrested
Pillot his mother muda a ges
ture which caused the inspec
tors to fancy they were to bo sub
jected to n scene of maternal despair. It
was. however , from feelings of un entirely
different nature. The good woman was
overjoyed to see her son arrested.
"Messieurs , toke him ; take him awny ;
never lot mo nee his face again , " she cried ,
and went on to toll the policemen how bur
son was u bad man , how ho treated her in
the most unnuturul manner , boating her
every day. Mmo. Pillct's recollections of
her son's treatment wore recent enough to
Justify her rancour. Yesterday , oven , she
told tlio detectives , ho beat her black und
bluo. A physiognomist would have been
completely deceived in Plllet , who
Is only seventeen years of ago ,
and whoso features nro really
so childlike that ho looks us if ho would not
hurt even a mouse.
When the prisoners were brought together
in the gray dawn at Suroto. a man named
Bohmo , nicknamed "La Torrasso do Mont-
mnrtro , " who is nllctrcd to have been un ac
cessory before the fact but does not seem to
have assisted In the murder , identified them.
All protested that they were us Innocent as
babes unborn. Gordon summoned Watch
maker Oulio , and Mme , Vincent , who de
clared they hud seen the murderers , nnd or
dered the prisoners to bo brought before
them. Both Oulio nnd Mine. Vincent as
sorted that the prisoners woio not thu men
they hud soon at tbo time of the murder , but
a little later in the day Plllet made a full
confession. Tlio others flow Into a ruge on
hearing this , but persisted in denial.

Discovered In a Mnn-Hoto.
CINCINNATI , July 37. The body of Dr. A.
E. Jones was found this morning in n man
hole not far from his residence , murdered
nnd robbed. Ho left his homo nt Walnut
Hill , yesterday afternoon without his coat
nnd his fuuilly thought ho was only going to
the neighbors , but not the slightest clue wns
found of him until this morning. Ho was nn
old resident ut tbls city , well-known us n
local historian and enthusiast on military
matters.
lr. Jones , familiarly known ni . "Colonel"
Jones , was In his govcnty-suvonth year , but
was as active as a man of llftv. He nlwiys
had nn Inclination for military Ufa nnd kept
It up by holding connection with tbo
first regiment , Ohio national guard
as surgeon. Governor For.ikor , who was his
neighbor , appointed him n member of his
staff as surgeon general. Ho hud boon nut-
ivu In public uffiiirs , serving often In the
municipal council , nnd had bcstdos hold
several offices under appointment from tbo
general government. Ho was , perhaps ,
moro widely known in Cincinnati than any
other cltircn.
Dr. Jones loft his house ut UiO : : Thursduy
afternoon , \vc.\rlug no coat , his foot In his
slippers , and wont In thu direction of thu
stable. That was the lust seen of him alive.
Tlio family did not bocoma nlurmud until
after nlghl , niul then prosecuted their Huarch
quietly until yesterday , when notice was
given to the police. During the day yester
day blood was discovered opposite the doc
tor's ' stnblo , on Omotpr.v street , which wns
trucked two or tbroo squares to the Junction
of Cypress street and Francis lane , where ,
on the grass , was qtllto a pool of blood.
Jt was hero , In the munholo of tbo sewer ,
that the body was found this morning , it
was wrapped in n horse blunhot , or rather
sewed up. It was found tint thu doctor's
gold watch and money were gone. Robbery
must have been tbo motive for tno murder ,
as the doctor had not an enemy In the world.
Thcro Is but ono wound , which Is upon the
back purl of the head. The theory now
piovalcnt is that the murder was committed
by Charles Hllgb , n colored hostler. When
Ullgh left lust night ho said ho would ruturn
this morning , but ho h.is not .vat been found.
A hoe In tha stable bears marks which are
pronounced to bo blood stains.
Andrew Hudson , colored , hud formerly
worked for Colonel Jones , nnd Ulchard Leo ,
colored , also u former employe , were nr-
rcstcd this afternoon on suspicion , but told
such strulghtforwurd stoiles that the police
Inter released them. Frank Uufort , n brick
layer , in whoso house Hligh and his wife
boarded , was examined by the police uud
stated that Hli h treated him to arinks last
night in a saloon. The police bclluvo that
Bligh committed the murdur as the rebult of
u quarrel.
Later Charles Blegh , the colored servant

While waiting to obtain and furnish un

ho surrendered possession Juno 15 , his own

offered JlbO francs , which , in his opinion , was
sufficient. The landlord refused to accept
this sum , nnd said that besides damages
ho should hold Boll responsible for rent until
the bill was paid. Hence action was brought
before Judge Do Palx , of the aristocratic
Porsy district.
The landlord's agent stated that Boll hud

Br.iu.iM , July 27. The greatest diplomatic
triumph of Prlneo Bismarck's llfu will bo
achieved if he succeeds in his latest project ,
which Is to arrange n mooting between the
czar , Emperor Francis Joseph nnd Emperor
William In Berlin. The news of
tno c/ar's assent to thu pro
posal that ho shall visit the court on August
2.1. was received at the foreign oflleo Mon
day , causing the greatest satisfaction. Bis
marck Immediately communicated with
Count Kalnoky , calling attention to tha
oiiiwi tunlty presented by tba nearly coin
cident visits of the crar and Emperor
Francis Joseph and proposing that un inter
view bo held batween the throa monarchs as
well as a conference batwoon himself , Count
Kalnoky and M. DcGlcrs , thu object lu'incr to
dissipate all inlsundat standings. The officials
hero have been instructed to maintain absolute
J
lute silence. The scnil-onlcial press has
j
been similarly directed on thu giouud that
criticism might niter the present favorable-
disposition of tbo czar. Official circles In
Vienna aio less observant rff secrosy , and
discuss the chances of the Interview.
Count Kalnoky , It is stated , has placed
himself ' In Bismarck's hands , but icfusos to
muko any overture * to the .jC
rcguidlng the meeting with Emporor.y
els Joseph. If Prince Bism irok peisuiV
the czar to consent to tno Interview , the
trian emperor will postpone his coming until ,
' '
the IStu.
The chancellor will return hero on the 12th
nnd remain throughout thu visits of the czar
and Emperor Francis Joseph. "Hp
is supposed to bo aiming not tit
n definite ticaty of alliance involv
ing Russia in a Central European
league , but ouly to re-establish butt : r rela
tions between the th'roa ommrcs and baulk
the I French negotiations for nn offensive anl (
defensive alliance with Russia. Hu has a
foothold for a renewed entente cordlale In
the czar's Increased hatred for the anarch'
ists. The recent communications with St ,
Petersburg regarding tbo plotting of
refugees In Switzerland leading to u common
pressure upon the Swiss govci'nmont
afforded basis for concerted action by
the three powers against the socialists , an
archists nnd nihilists A definite under
standing as to this sphere of action' would
tend to modify the existing enmities.
The Krouz Zultnni ; has semi official ad
vices from St. Petersburg saying : "Tho
czar , who has frequently altered his Inten
tions regarding the return of the visit uf
Emperor William , has now nssontoJ under
the ncisistont entreaties of M. DoGIoro and
M. Viscbnegrudski. Ho will bo accompanied
to Berlin by thu empress nnd the whole Im
perial family. The party will proceed to
Copenhagen after leaving Berlin. "
The Novoo Vrouiyu declares the ctnr goes :
to Berlin simuly as an act of 'courtesy , und
that his visit will have no bearing' upon the
European situation unless Qaruwny changes
her policy by consenting to satiify the
legitimate aspirations of Russia.
Emperor William arrived ntWllliaiashnvcn
this morning. Soon after ho ordered tha
admiralty to report on the arrest
of officials In connection with thfl naval .
frauds. Several officials left Keil to-night
for Wilholmshavnn. Tne papers ara
obliged to maintain reserve nnd onlynfccord
the fact that the arrests extend to con *
tractors and marine officials nt D'ontzlg ,
Hamburg , Stettin , Wllbeluishavon aadBer- ;
lln. The position of the persons arrested
and the wide ramifications of the fraudi
have sunt u thrill of indignation '
nnd sbnina throughout the omnira. To
day's talk in official circles rep.
resents the emperor as furious. Ho
is said to have sent telegram
after telegram to vho highest officials regard
ing the mutter. Herr Cromcr , n highly
placed official at Keel , Is reported to buva
committed suicldu after Ills arrest. It is
stated that ho was found blooding to death
in his cell , buying opancd the veins m hUl
arm , and that ho died while being taken to
the hospital. The Frolssignea Kcitung " "an
nounces thu arrest of tlio chief comptroller of
the ICIrl workshops , and of a prominent mer
chant of Mincer , who for many years-has
been supplying the stores for the KIrl and
Willmlmsbavan stations. They are impris
oned in Berlin.
The severity of the sentcnco pronounced
on thu forty-Bight miners convicted at Bras ,
luu , for rioting during 1)19 ) recent strlko
there , will probably lead to an appeal to tha
omporor. The prisoners uro ull under
twenty yours of ago , nnd a number of them
are not moro than sixteen years old ,
Tuo urticlo In the North Gorman Gnrotto
on the strikes shows nn ominous change ot
fronton the part of thn government toward
tlio miners. The Homl-officlul newspapers
concur in predicting that the result of the
commission of inquiry into the minors'
grievances will bo nil and that the govern
ment will ccaso to Interfere beyond sup
pressing breaches of law.
