WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Lillian Puun.e
fote, daughter of Lord I'niincofoto,
British ambassador to tho United States,
was married nt noon loJay to Hon. Itobcrt
Dromley of Stoko Hall, Newark, Notting
hamshire, Englnml.
.T.be wedding vans ono of tho most notable
thaKhas occurred In Washington for many
3'ears. Quaint old St. Johu'a church, whore
tho ceremony was performed, Is ono of the
landmarks of Washington, nn outwardly
dingy llttlo stucco-coated building of colonial
type, Just across Lafayette squuro from the
executive mansion. Its capacity is about 800,
standing room Included, nnd thin did not
serve to accommodate a tltho of those who
wlshid to witness tho cerotnosv. Owing to
tho official position of Lord Pnuncefoto, tho
presence of tho president and cabinet, us
well as tho whole of the diplomatic corps,
was an lmpcratlvo social obligation, albeit
a pleasant ono, owing to tho affectionate re
gard In which tho oung brldo is held in
Washington society.
Tho Interior of the little, church was llko
tho corolla of a hugo (lower. The brllllaut)y
lighted altar In tho depths of the darkened
auditorium, with Its golden points and snowy
caudles, formed the stamens nnd pistil, while
the flower encrusted walls and pillars
through which tho crimson Innglngs scarcely
showed, wero like tho petals of a monster
blossom. Tho air was heavy with tho scent
of Raster lilies, brldo'B roses nnd orange
blossoms mingling with the odor of lilies of
tho valley and carnations. I'alms tilled all
the available space within tho chancel, whlla
broad .white ribbons stretching down tho
aisles wero dropped by tho tiHhers, link by
link, as the pews filled wl h tho distinguished
guests. Tho ushers wero till attaches of the
embassy. Colonel Arthur Lee, .Mr. Oerard
Lowther, Sir Charles Kllot, Mr. Max Muller
and Mr. Humphreys Owen.
Tho bride, to tho great uneasiness of her
friends, hat) boon quite sick all week nnd
leaned heavily on tho arm of her father
as the procession moved dawn the aisle. Her
wedding gown, was a full court costume of
whlto sutln, tho front a gleaming network
of laco and pearls, while musses of luca
caught wlth.orango blossoniB edged the long
court train from tho shoulders to the lloor.

Made Suits.
We do not believe Ui.it any lady would
knowingly purchase an ill-made or ill-fitting
suit, yet there are no many mislead
ing statements made in selling goods that
ladies are often persuaded into giving
their order for garments which are found
very unsatisfactory at home. Our method
of doing business is somewhat different
heavy train and was followed by tho brides
maids. These wore Miss Ksthcr Bromley,
sister of tho groom; Miss Curzon, cousin of
Lord Curzon, the viceroy of India; Miss llnt
tlo Sargent of Boston. Hon. Sybil Paunce

the bride.
Tho ceremony was performed by Ht. Ucv.

lee, assisted by Itev. Alexander Jlaekay-

After the ceremony a wedding breakfast
was nerved at tho embassy to -100 guests.
Mr. nnd Mrs. Dromley later left for Palm

ROUTE FOR PACIFIC CABLE

SATISFACTORY RESULTS OF A SURVEY

Ciirrciiln.
WASHINGTON, Keb. 54. Admiral Brad
ford, chief of the equipment bureau, has
reoolcd tho report of Commander Hodges
of tho Nero upon the survey made by that
vessel of tho Pacific ocean lo find a prac
ticable route for a submarine cablo from
California to Honolulu, Guam, Midway Is
land, Manila nnd Yokohama. The officer re
ports that tho survey developed n route for
the cablo eminently satisfactory and thor
oughly practicable.
Ills report, In brief, shows that he sailed
from 'Manila on tho Nero on August 10 for
Dlngala bay, on tho east coast of Luzon,
which had been selected as tho best land
ing for a Pacific cable. A iun was mndo
from this point to Guam, which portion of
tho lino had already been outlined. Sep
tember 0 the Nero sailed from Guam for
Yokohama. Tho beach appeared to bo fa
vorablo for landing on Jnpaneso toll near
tho northeast rorlior of Sagami Knl.
Starting Ocobcr 10 tho ship returned to
Guam, verifying tho old route as It ran.
Tnrafofo was found lo bo tho best place to
land tho cablo on tho Island though tho
conditions aro not perfect. Otherwlso tho
cable would havo to bo taken around and
landed on tho southern side of the harbor
of San Louis d'Apra.
Dooiicit CiimIm Hi or 'I'n U en.
After making boiuo soundings around the
Island Captain Hodges tried to find a south
ern roud to connect with tho direct lino to
Midway, but hero, ho says, tho two deepest
casts nnd tho two deepest temperatures over
taken were recorded. Tho depths nro 5,100
fathoms and 5,26!i fathoms, and tho temper
ntures ore 35.!) at 5.070 fathoms and 30 at
5,101 fathoms.
Tim Nero went back to Tnrafofo nnd began
to develop tho direct route to Midway, which
was reached on January 3. No stop was
nmdo because Commander Uelknap had al
ready mudo nn examination of tho Island. A
light framo building standing in tho middle
of tho north tide of Sand Island, apparently
built some years ngo, showed that tho ele
ments do not treat tho Island severely.
There aro no Inhabitants, no food except an
ubundanco of llah and seablrds, whoso eggs
could be utilized. On tho whole, Sand Uland
Is regarded as a practicable site.
Tho traverse was continued from Midway
to Walrucha bay. Oahu Island, of tho Ha
waiian group. This was a fine sand beach
and good landing station.
l'nelllo Current Are lirrntle.
Commander Hodges reports that the cur
rents of tho Pacific nro very variable aud er
ratic and subject to a tidal Influence, es
pecially in the vicinity of reefs nnd Islands,
so that very careful navigation Is necessary,
especially from the Hawaiian Islands to
.Midway. A strong current of ono to two
knots an hour, setting with tho wind, fre
quently changed to nothing In light weather
In a single day.
Kroni tho date of sailing from San Fran
cisco, April 22, 1899, to tho dato of return,
Fcbiuury 11, l'JOO, tho ship steamed 29,283
knots and the commander declares that a
cablo route wa3 never so extensively and
thoroughly surveyed and developed.
Appended to the report Is a special report
by Assistant Surgeon Frank iMcCullough
upon the physical features of Midway Island,
In which reference Is mudo , to several
wrecks and to tho death on the Islands of a
portion of tho crew of one of the castaway
vessels. Tho sand Is said to havo been lit
erally covered with seablrds and their eggs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Senator Clark
and .Marcus Daly,- tho rival mllllonalrcfl of
Montnna, faced each other during the greater
part of today In the senate committee on
elections in the Investigation of Clark's
election to the senutc of tho United States.
Mr. Clark sat In the roar of his attorneys
and Mr. Daly on tho opposite side of tho
room. Daly wore a pleasant smile through
out tho day nnd Clark maintained an un
ruffled countenance.
It had been expected that Daly would bo
called to tho witness stand during tho day.
The day was given up to J. It. Toole, a close
friend of Mr. Daly.
W. O. Conrad also testified during tho day.
Ho was n candidate for the senate In op
position to Mr. Clarke. Ho sold that he had
spent no money in the senatorial campaign
proper.
TooIe' testimony covered tho senatorial
contest from tho Daly sldo of the question.
He also related many particulars concerning
tho capital contest, placing tho total expend
Iturcs In behalf of Anaconda In that contest
at from $350,000 to 100,000.
Mr. Faulkner Did you not say nftcr Mr.
Clark's election that If you had had $100,
009 more you could havo defeated him. and
that with $200,000 you could have elected
your man?
Toole I did not. Wo could have beaten
him with half tho sum becauno I believe
that with that much money It would havo
been possible to have tho republicans who
voted for Clark go on making patriotic
Bpcechcs and voting for men In their own
party.
Toole' detailed the movement for his name
sake, ex-Governor J. K. Toole, for the sen
ate, saying thai after' the Whiteside ex
posure Representative Day had come to him,
saying Hint he was sick of the methods being
pursued; that they wero shameful and rot
ten and that if the Silver Dow delegation
would take up Governor Toole he would an.
slst In his election. He prevailed upon tho
delegation to go to Mr. Toole, but when thU
was done tho ex-governor refused to enter
tho race, saying that tho pressuro from the
Clark forces was bo strong that ho could not
como In.
O. W. Conrad, who whs Clark's principal
rival for tho scnatorshlp In 1899, was the
liext wltncee.
"Did you spend any money In the state
campaign?" Mr. Campbell asked.
"1 did; from $5,000 to $10,000, giving It to
committees, etc."
"Did you spend any In your effort to secure
your election to tho senate?"
"I did not spend to exceed $200 In Helena
beyond tho amount of my hotel bill."
Ho denied tho statement of n former wlt-
noss that ho had drawn $30,000 from the
American National bank of Helena after tho
Whitesldo exposure. Ho also oald that ho had
not contributed any part of tno $30,000 u.ied
by Whiteside. Ho had bis bank chocks and
stubs for the last thirty-two years and was '
willing tho committee should Inspect them. I
Mr. Conrad said thero were thirty votes !
pledged to him In the legislature, but ho
failed to Tecclve ten of tho votes so pledged.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Qcneral Luke E.

General Wright said tho prts dont had offered
him a place on tho Philippine commission
and that he had accepted It.
Ilernard Moses of California Is expected

cester of tho present commission, General

Vermont, Ilernard Mosos of California.
Former Congressman Hnmllton Lewis of
Washington state bud a dual conforenco
with tho president concerning his uppolnt
mont as ono of tho Philippine commissioners.
Tho president had had tho subject under
consideration. Colonel Lewis frankly told
the president that he was not In accord with
his Philippine policy. Tho president then
frankly told Lewis that whllo ho would bo
delighted to honor him becntiso of his per
sonal regard ho could not appoint him.
Colonel Lewis assured tho president of tho
appreciation of his confidence expressed and
asked him to consider sonic other Pacific
coast man for tho place.

COURT-MARTIAL MUST STAND
Attorney Gonorul IIoIiIh hnt Soore,

WASHINGTON, Keb. 21. In nn opinion
rendered to tho War department, tho attor
ney general has decided that tho nccrotury
of war Is without power to alter or amend
the record of u court-martial.
Tho case In point was that of Lieutenant
hewls K. Brown, Ninth United States volun
teer Infnutry, who was court-mnrtlaled ut
Santiago November 11. lS'JS. and found
guilty of a charge of conduct unbecoming an
officer and gentleman and dismissed from tho
service. After the court was dissolved and
the peutenco had been executed, the lieuten
ant submitted nflldavlts to show that tho
record of the court-. nurtlnl did not contain
tho testimony of ono witness. TbU was
declared to bo a futul error. Inasmuch as
the rovlowlng authority did not havo boforo
it all of tho testimony, as required by the
regulations.
It was sought to have the record of tho
eourt-martlul corrected by the Inclusion of
this mL'sIng evidence. In order that the de
partment might rovtew It In a now light.
This, tho attorney general holds, cannot bo
done.

LONDON, Feb. 24. Apart from tho dra
matic chungc that came over tho situation
In South Africa, tho event of the week was
undoubtedly Jcscph Chamberlain's vigorous,
nltnost vicious, self-defenso In tho Houmj
of Commons.
Tho colonial secretary met tho accusa
tions and demands with ono of those ter
rible fighting speeches for which ho Is
noted. With venomous retort and scorn ho
onco more denied complicity In the Jame
son raid, denied tho so-called revelations
of tho Independence Ilelge, nnd, with deft
phrases, presented the opposition's agita
tion ns a personal attack upon his much
persecuted self.
In tho heat of debate, and with an over
whelming majority to cheer eve'ry bitter
phrase. Chamberlain carried all before him.
Hut after reflection many of those who thor
oughly bellevo Chamberlain to be absolutely
untainted and who place no Importation
upon -tho letters stolen from Hawkcsley,
counsel for tho Ilrltlsh South Africa com
pany, regretted that the colonial secretary
took iiitho matter In such a pergonal spirit.
Voicing this feeling, tho Saturday He
view, whllo strongly deprecating another
raid Inquiry at the present Juncture, de
plores Chnmbcrlain's "undignified uttltudo"
and reminds him that tho good faith of a
secretary of state Is not a personal but a
public matter. Continuing tho paper Bays
It regrets that ho did not court a resump
tion, but adds that obvious reasons of stale
prohibited such a procedure at tho present
crisis. In tho meanwhile, Dr. Gavin Hrown
Clark, radical member of Parliament for
Caithness, who was formerly consul gen
eral of Mo South African republic, Btnnds
accused by Hawkealoy of buying stolen
property In tho shape of letters In regard to
tho raid. Though Dr. Clark has denied tho
allegations printed In the St. James Ga
zette, ho has not so fur denied Hnwkesloy's
charges. His fellow commoners are much
stirred up 111 regard to tho matter, but
Clark seems disinclined to take any fur
ther steps unless his constituents force an
Issue.
ItoM'hory lllrcii dinner for Snllro.
Lord Hosebery, this week thu forsaken
solo oracle of "lugubrious vaticinations,"
ha.i been bantering the lords of tho gov
ernment in the lightest natlre upon tho
fix they have got Into by tho unexpected
change of tho Wcmyss resolution, which
originally proposed Ho enforce the oxlstlng
statute providing for conscription, but
which at the last moment was altered to
read that tho statute bo amended In order
to make It available to bo put In force, n
change which upset Lord lansdowne's and
tho duko of Devonshire's carefully prepared
speeches to such an extent that Lord Hose
bery batlrlcally moved an adjournment to
cnablo them to prepare new speeches aud
even Lord Salisbury laughed.
Tho condition of the navy and the al
leged Inadequacy of the new estimates arc
creating no end of discussion. Tho fact
that the government has ordered tho re
servo Hquadron to assemble nt Portsmouth
March 1 has relieved the fears of thoao who
thought continental Intorferenco was Immi
nent, but they hall with no pleasure tho
accompanying announcement that tho squoJ
ron would bo scattered again April 1, after
a month's exercise.
I'Viirn of I'l'oiioh i-'loot.
Nor is public confidence strengthened by
such statements us aro mado editorially
In tho Navnl ind Military Hocord, which
aver that thero aro eight or nine modern
French battleships capable of sinking thu
reserve ueer, aim inougn rruncu now nan
only six of such vessels with Its northern
squadron, It could quickly get tho two

tracting suspicion, wlillo the amalgamation
of Its northfrn squadron with that of Hup
sin's llaltlc fleet would altogether outclats
Omit Britain's reserve, which, this service
paper declares, Is a heterogenous and by no
means a modern conglomeration, lacking In
all tho essentials of a trained battle fleet.
As a roincdy It Is urged that new ships
not Included In tho reserve bo nt onco com

In homo waters. Tho army, or mther Its
system and tho majority of its generals, has
ho disappointed tho bulk of tho British peo

Whon your kidneys become weak and aro
unable to throw ofT the waste In tho blood,
they clog up with poisonous matter, break
down, cell by cell, and the particles pass
away In the urine. Then thn nlbum'-n,
which makes rich, red blood, leaks out, your
system brenkR down and you have what is
known to till marklnd as Bright's Disease.
Bright's Disease Is taking away more lives
today than any other known ailment, except
ing possibly consumption, and yet with a
llttlo attention you may prevent such a ca
lamity as Bright's Discaso befalling you.
Aro you fortified with the necessary
knuwledgo about Bright's Dl.'ease? Do you
know how to llnd out If thero Is anything
the matter with your kidneys? Here Is a
simple, but sure test :
In the morning, on nrlslng. take of your
urine nbout four ounces' and put In a glass
bottle; let It stand about twenty-four hours,
and If. on examination, you find any set
tling or sediment, If It Is cloudy, or If small

that nature has warned you, and that
your kidneys need attention.
