AN IMPOSING CEREMONY OF ROYALTY Distinguished Persons at the Mar- riage. SCENES OF THE OCCASION COBURG, Germany, April 19.—The weath- er is splendid here today for the royal wed- ding. The city is packed with royal and imperial guests, foreign visitors and Ger- man sightseers. Every building is decorat- ed in some manner, even the most modest cottages having fluttered at least some slight display of bunting to the breeze, while the thoroughfares and prominent buildings are buried beneath decorations of all descriptions and colors. During the early morning hours people poured into the city by every road and by all means of conveyance. At first the city was overcast and rain was in prospect, but by 9 o'clock the sky cleared to a beautiful blue and the sun beamed gloriously upon this temporary headquarters of representatives of nearly all the imperial and royal families of Eu- rope. The morning hours were the occasion for much dashing here and there of mounted orderlies and considerable driving about on the part of the wedding guests. The First Dragoon Regiment Band made the air still more bracing by playing at short intervals a delightful musical program in front of the Edinburgh palace. Cro soon packed the palace square and all important personages were loudly cheer- ed as soon as recognized by the expectant multitudes. The palace square and the terraces over- looking the park were so thronged by 10 a.m, that the police were compelled to drive people away in order to prevent dangerous crushes. According to the “ceremonial” decided upon by Queen Victoria (all arrangements having been submitted to her at Florence), the was to take place at noon pre- cisely in the private chapel of the ducal paiace, with full state, in the Lutheran style. Following German precedents, there were no bridesmaids, but the bride was sup- ported by her younger sisters. The private chapel of the palace was thoroughly redecorated for the occasion, and as the wedding took place on “Prim- rose day,” primrose entered largely into the interior decorations, these, however, having been sent from England for the occasion. Scene in the Chapel. Queen Victoria was accompanied to the chapel by the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (the Duke of Edinburgh, fathet of the bride), and was escorted to an armchair in the front row of the distinguished guests and next to Emperor William of Germany, by whose side was the Duchess of Saxe-Co- burg-Gotha (the Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, only daughter of Czar Alexander }1 and sister of the czar). There was some deiay In the proceedings, and consequently it was 12:30 p.m. before the ceremony commenced; but it was a most brilliant and impressive function. In the wedding procession Emperor Will- iam escorted the Duchess of Coburg and ex- Empress Frederick followed alone. The Prince of Wales and the czarewitch came next, walking together. The bridegroom entered with his sup- porters, his uncle, Prince Henry of Hesse, and his bgother-in-law, Prince Henry of Prussia. The bride came in last, supported by her father and brother, and accompanied by her sisters. The Prince of Wales sat behind ex-Em- press Frederick of Germany (elaest daugh- ter of Queen Victoria);then came the czare- witch (Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia, eldest son of the czar). These distinguished guests occupied front seats on the other side of the aisle, corresponding with those of Queen Victoria, Emperor William and the Duchess of Coburg. Other importent pet es filled three rews behind each of the royal and imperial notabilities already mentioned; but the suites, court officials and ministers in a’ tendance remained standing throughout the ceremony. Among the other distinguished person- ages present were the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, Prince and Princess Henry of the Graad Duke and Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia, Grand Duke Sergius of Russia and his wife, formerly the Princess Elizabeth of Hesse-Darmstadt; the Princess Alix of Hesse, the Crown Prince and Princess of Roumania, the Hereditary Prince and Princess of Saxe- Meiningen, Prince and Princess Philip of Coburg, Prince George of Greece, Prince Aribert of Analt, and Princes Henry and GE Louis of Battenburg. The sun shining through the chapel win- dows upon this distinguished assemblage, ladies in court toilettes, sparkling with jew- els, their bright dresses contrasting beauti- fully with the gorgeous uniforms of the male portion of the guests, the elaborate floral decorations, the grandeur of the old chapel and the natura! solemnity of the sur- roundings,* formed a magnificent tout en- semble which has not often been equaled in recent years in any country in the world. Queen Victoria wore the broad, blue rib- bon of the Order of the Garter and upon her head sparkled a magnificent crown of diamonds. Her majesty remained seated throughout, her age and infirmities prevent- ing her from standing when all the other wedding guests arose during certain por- tions of the marriage service. The Ceremony. The general superintendent of the Lu- theran Church, Pastor Mueller, officiated and was assisted by the court chaplain of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and by five local clergymen, After the address had been delivered the bride and bridegroom plighted their troths and the wedding rings were exchanged. Then came the benediction, after which Mendelssohn’s Wedding March was grandly played and the ceremony was at an end. The newly married rn a kissed their relatives in turn PI sion was reformed and left the chapel at 1 o'clock, amid the booming of cannon and the joyful ringing of all the church bells within miles of the ducal chapel, The whole party, shortly after leaving the chapel, entered the Riesenaal, where breakfast was served. An especially hearty cheer wes raised by the crowds on the Platz as the newly mar- ried couple and the Duke and Duchess of Coburg crossed the square to the palace. Some of the Presents. Among the many presents received by the bride were a necklace of pearls and emer- alds, a bracelet of diamonds, a large pen- dant of diamonds and a pair of large dia- mond earrings, a bracelet with a large emerald in its center, a diamond heart with a large turquoise in its center and a dia- mond and emerald from her parents. Queen Victoria presented the bride with a diamond pendant, and Emperor William's gift was a pendant of diamonds and sap- phires. The czarewitch and Grand Duchess Ex- nia gave the bride a brooch of diamonds and emeralds, and her brother sent her a handsome painting. Princess Beatrice made the bride a present of a leather photograph fan. ‘The wedding cake was nearly six feet high and weighed 150 pounds. During the afternoon the newly married ccuple will drive to Rosenau, a lovely hunt- ing seat on the borders of the Thurin- gian forest, about four miles from this city, ard will remain there for two days. After that they will proceed to Kranichstein, the seat of the Grand Duke of Hesse, rear Darmstadt. The Bride and Groom. The bride, her royal highness, Princess Victoria Meliat, the Grand Duchess of Hesse, who is an accomplished and very popular lady in Germany and England, is in her eighteenth year, having been born on November 25, 1876, at Malta. The bridegroom, Ernest Louis Charles Albert William, Grand Duke of Hesse, is in his twenty-sixth year. He was born at Darmstadt on November 25, 1868, and is the fourth child and eldest son of the late Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Hesse. The latter, it will be remembered, wi: Princess Alice of Great Britain, the queen's faverite daughter, who died under pathetic circumstances, while nursing one of her children during a malignant attack of diphtheria. The bride and bridegroom are both | Was made? grandchildren of Queen Victoria, and each were born on the same day of the month. Utility of a Pacific Cable. LONDON, April 19.—The Times this morning says that the cable companies controlling the lines between Great Britain and Australia have made representations to the Marquis of Ripon, secretary of state for the colonies, against the necessity or tility of a Pacific cable. The representa- ives of the companies presented figures to the colonial secretary showing that al- though the existing lines could carry double the present traffic there is still a heavy annual loss.

PI ting of a Liberty Tree in Memory of Lexington, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 19.—Un- usual ceremonies will be performed in Golden Gate Park this afternoon when Sequoia Chapter of the California Lodge of the Daughters of the American Revolution will plant a “liberty tree’ in historic soil that the women have been gathering for six months past. Today being the anni- versary of the battle of Lexington it was chosen for the planting and the first trow- elful of earth used will be from the memor- able battleground. The second installment of dirt will be from the tomb in Mt. Vernon, where George and Martha Washington were first buried. The third trowelful of earth is from the grave of Marquis de Lafayette, from the Pichus, Paris, and will be deposit- ed by M. L. De Lande, consul general of France, who will represent the French nation with an address. For .six months the daughters of the local branch of the society have been in correspondence with the persons living near the great battlefields of the revolu- tion and the colonial church yards asking for soil. Package after package has been received from the New England and middle states. The liberty tree to be planted today will grow in earth from the graves of ex- Presidents, statesmen, warriors, patriots and from battlefields and spots of historic renown throughout the land. ee MORE DEATHS LIKELY. Lamentable Results of the Rioting Near Detroit. DETROIT, Mich., April 19.—It is doubtful whether the board of water commissioners will attempt to proceed with their work in Grosse Point township today. Discussion of yesterday’s bloody fray among the work- ingmen of the city has developed the fact that a large element among them would be only too glad to start on the work, for the purpose of avenging the attack on Sheriff Collins, in case of another conflict, if for no other reason. The Tribune will editorially urge im- mediate procedure with the job as against any appearance of compromise with rioters. Leading Polanders predict more trouble. There is a mystery surrounding the where- abouts of the body of the unknown Po- lander, which, it is thought, must have been Tried away by his comrades, if, indeed, he is really dead, The latest reports from the hospitals indi- (my that three of the wounded rioters will le. — EXTENDING THE WAR.

This system was under lease to the Great Northern until it went into the hands of a receiver a short time ago, and it practically controls the en- tire railroad system of the state. A special from Glasgow, Mont., announces the shooting by one of the strikers detailed by the American Railroad Union to guard the company's property of a man attempt- ing to plunder freight cars, Richard Huert, a miner, met a horrible death at Mountain View mine yesterday. He fell 1,000 feet down a shaft. SECOND VISIT OF FLAME. Burning of a Five-Story Tin Can Fac- tory in New York. NEW YORK, April 19.—The five-story tin can factory of Haas & Ashman at No. 128 to 182 Jane street was destroyed by fire, which broke out on the second floor at 2 o'clock this morning. The damage is esti- mated at $70,000. Two-thirds of this was in the machinery and stock. Three years ago last June there was a fire in the same build- ing. At that time seven horses were burned. pmadinceS cel eats AN EMBEZZLER’ SUICIDE. He Took His Life to Escape the Dis- grace That Awaited Him. PHILADELPHIA, April 19.—William G. Troelsch of this city, who committed sul- cide in Juneau Park, Milwaukee, last night, is an embezzier to the extent of $10,000. He was formerly employed as bookkeeper for C. A.Blessing & Company, dealers in plumb- er’s supplies at 505 Montgomery avenue, this city. but has not, been seen in Phila- delphia since the middle of March. Mr. Blessing had a warrant sworn out for the arrest of Troelsch on March 16, but he had left the city and the detectives had not been able to locate him. —_—— ERNEST KNABE BURIED. eral Services Held at Baltimore ‘This Morning. BALTIMORE, April 19.—The funeral services of Ernest J. Knabe, the plano manufacturer and musician, took place at 11 o'clock this morning, Revs. Henry Scheib and George W. Eberling officiating. The remains were laid to rest in Loudon Park cemetery. There was a very large attendance, including many distinguished out-of-town friends. pa Gen. Harrison Not Talking. SALT LAKE, Utah, April 19.—Ex-Presi- dent Harrison passed Ogden en route east last night. A crowd gathered at the depot for a speech, but the ex-President declined to talk politics, and for his views on the silver question referred to his letter calling the Brussels conference, saying his mind had not changed. —_—_.s——. Reciprocity in Shingles is Wante VANCOUVER, B. C., April 19.—The board of trade here has petitioned the dominion government to retain the present duty on shingles until the Wilson bill becomes a law in the United States. Both the Wilson bill and that of the local government propose the abolition of duty on shingles, but as the Canadian tariff comes into effect im- mediately the American will have a decided advantage. pecisret oak Tat Made a New Record for the Ohio. CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 19.—A salute of cannon announced the arrival of the new steamboat City of Louisville at 12:45 last. She made the run of 150 miles from Louisville to Cincinnati in nine hours and forty-two minutes, up stream, the fastest time ever made by a steamboat on the Ohio river.

Mr. Andrews proved himself to be a very eloquent lecturer on the “Great Fair;” also telling maay anecdotes of a humorous nature. Fu See OSES A Proposed Memorial. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In August, 1877, Prof. Asaph Hall, at the old observatory in this eity—now disman- tled—discovered two moons attending the planet Mars. Would it not be well for the Academy of Science, now in session, to take some action to commemorate this triumph of American science by placing a pedestal and tablet on the spot where the heed ‘BUR. | that your pyrpose was to MR. STOLL WRITES) | "n= t szrentismerrs He is Not Satisfied With Mr. Wil- son’s Explanation. 80 HE DENOUNCES HIM BY LETTER Mr. Wilson Manifests Litt!e Inter- est in the Matter. if Is NOT A CHALLENGE The last day of the Pollard-Breckin- ridge trial was made interesting by some remarks that passed between Mr. Wilson, senior counsel for Miss Pollard, and Mr. Chas. H. Stoll, one of the counsel for Mr. Breckinridge. Mr. Stoll’s language, when it was considered that he came from a state where “the code” is generally re- spected, was regarded as meaning that he would demand satisfaction on the field of honor if Mr. Wilson did not make a suita- ble apology. Mr. Wilson in the course of his argument declared that the famous letter purporting to have been written by Miss Pollard to Mr. Breckinridge from the Wesleyan College was a forgery, and in order to show that there had been oppor- tunity to make a forgery based on the Wessie Brown letter said that the Wessie Brown letter had been in Mr. Stoll’s pos- session for weeks. Mr; Stoll immediately demanded to know whether Mr. Wilson meant to insinuate that he had forged the letter or that he had been a party to a forgery. Mr. Wilson did not make a satisfactory reply and Mr. Stoll declared that this was a matter be- tween them to be tried in another court. During the recess of court that followed, it appears that Mr. Butterworth talked with Mr. Wilson and when court reassembled Mr. Wilson made a statement disclaiming any intention of implying that Mr. Stoll had forged or procured the forgery of the letter. Mr. Stoll, who is now in New York, has given out there for publicgtion a letter which he addressed to Mr. ison on the 16th, and which shows he was not satis- fied with Mr. Wilson’s retraction. Mr. Stoll’s Fiery Letter. Im this letter he says: “Knowing that Mr. Butterworth had spoken to you during recess I had reason to suppose that you would either make a full and unconditional denial of any pur- pose to insinuate that I had been a party to or ccnnived at a wrong, and utter scme words expressive of a sense of re- gret that language had been used from which such purpose could be presumed, or else that you would have the manhood to stand by what you had said, not ‘in the heat of discussion,’ as you would have the world believe, but in cold blood, with an evident and well-planned purpose to cast a stigma upon my character. “I am sorry you were not gentleman enough to do the one thing or man enough to do the other. “The low estimate which you seem to place upon character, as manifested by that which you yourself have developed, did not show you the necessity ‘for doing that which a gentleman always does when he has inadvertently given offense, and the cewardly instincts of the cur which seem to have predominated in your nature did not give you the courage to face what you krew would be presented to you. “Upon the reassemdling of court your language wes as follows: “*Gentlemen of the jury, it is the ex- perience of everybody that in the heat of discussion and in the presentation of facts he probably conveys impressions tha: he did not intend to convey. I had no thought of insinuating that Mr. Stoll had forged that letter, or that he had procured it to be forged. I disclaim any purpose of charg- ing Mr. Stoll with svch a crime. I had in my mind to suggest to you and to show to you how easy it is for these things to be done; how easy it is to get the hand- writing of another and from that hand- pp wad to make an imitation or perpetrate a fo! 54 “From this it will be seen that the only irsinuation which you disclaim is that I “forged a letter’ or ‘procured it to be forged,” or that you purposed ‘to charge me with such a crime.’ “But immediately you say to the jury suggest to them how easy the alleged forged letter could have been manufactured from material which you said I had in my possession; from which statement your evident purpose was to convey the impression that this al- leged crime was at least committed with my knowledge if not with my sanction. “Your retraction, if such it was intended to be, contains no word indicating any sense of regret at having said that which you knew had deeply wounded me, and therefore I must decline to accept what you have said as a proper apology for the offense committed. “As two days have now elapsed and nothing further has been heard from you, I am compelled by that feeling of manhood which was irstilled in me by a_ brave father, vhom I have so recently laid to rest, and by that sense of duty which I | owe to wife, children, brothers and friends at home, to say to you in plain language— first, that you deliberately stated what you knew to be untrue when you said to it jury and to the world that the letter in question was a forgery. “My reasons for stating this are that the astute mind, which is not wholly in! compatible with the character which you have shown in this connection, could not possibly reach any other conclusion from the facts which were known to you, even if the handwriting itself was not absolutely Seon apatied of the genuineness of the docu- ment. “Second. You knew that the ‘Wessie Brown’ lettér did not come into my posses- sion until five months after the letter in question was found by Mr. Worthington on the files of letters in Breckinridge & Shel- by’s office in Lexington, Ky. You might also have ascertained, had you taken the trouble to inquire, that I had no connection with this case for months after the letter in question was found by Mr. Worthington. “You knew facts totally inconsistent with the possibility of that which you have in- sinuated; your conduct is, then, culpable beyond expression. “You are a much older man than I. The respect which every young man has for gray hairs, wherever found, makes it impossible now, after what I ferred to above, to take that cnly means of redress left to a gentleman when an unwarrantable attack, under the protec- tion of a court, is made against that which to you is but little, but which to a gentle- man is more than life itself. “This you have done deliberately, mali- clovsly and for a manifest purpose. “I therefore take this, which seems to me to be the only proper course left open to me to express to you the contempt which I have, and which I believe all good men have, for a man who under such tircum- stances could stoop so low and to further say that an examination into your real character satisfies me that such things as this are but the natural impulse of your nature. “I believe that the country at large and more especially the members of our honor- able—but by you dishonored—profession should be warned against you, and the langer which is ever hanging over society while you are at large and your real char- acter is so comparatively little known. ‘In conclusion, permit me to say that in the trial of this cause you have in this instance at least stated things which you knew to be false; that you have connived at, if, in fact, you did not yourself advise, perjured testimony; that you have shown yourself a coward in not standing by your deliberate statements and demonstrated your lack of decency by saying enough to save yourself a thrashing without any a’ tempt to take away the sting caused by your infamous conduct.” Mr. Wilson Seemingly Indifferent. When a Star reporter found Mr. Wilson this afternoon he was busily preparing for argument in a contested land case, which is being heard before Assistant Attorney General Hall of the Department of the In- terior. The reporter said: “Judge, is it true that you and Attorney Stoll a-e going i hsguc a duel, for, if so, the readers of The Star want to know what weapons will be used?” “Tut, tut,” said Judge Wilson, “don’t talk to me about such nonsense.” “But you have received a letter from Mr. Stoll, in which he seems to almost threaten your life.” “I dol know anything about it,” said the judge, in a way which indicated that he didn’t care very much about the matter, and wasn’t in the slightest way scared. The reporter got the idea that the letter had been received, but that Judge Wilson hardly considered it seriously, and did not intend to either answer it, apologize o> fight. He didn’t even seem di mad about it. pave re- | ACCOUNTANTS... ANS......

Mr. Stoll’s cetter is not a challenge. It was not sent as a challenge would be sent, but was sent by a messenger boy. This manner of sending it, ft is stated, was a method of expressing contempt on the part of the writer for the person addressed. “If it had been a challenge,” said a friend of Mr. Stoll to a Star reporter, “it would have been im the hands of a gentle- man to be delivered to Mr, Wilson, and not sent by a messenger boy.” ———- ——_ COMMANDER TANNER’S DETACH- MENT. It Was at His Own Request and on Ac- count of Ii: Health. Commander Z. L. Tanner has been de- tached from the steamer Albatross at his own request, on account of ill health.

Commander Tanner has been in com- mand of the Albatross for twelve years, and was previously in command of the | Steamer Fish Hawk for three years, a con- | tinuous service with the fish commission | of fifteen years. Simce 1888 he has been | stationed on the Pacific coast, during which time the knowledge of the fishing grounds and the life of those waters, as well as of their hydrography, has been greatly in- creased, due to the intelligence and energy evinced by him in the prosecution of the investigations of the fish commission. For five seasons of this period the Albatross has been in Bering sea and along the Pacific laska, agtive par- ticipation in all the investigations of the coast of Al and has had fur seal of those waters, In all his work it is said that Commander Tanner has had the fullest. confidence of the late Prof. Baird and the present commissioner of fisheries, ——___e-—____ Another Chilean Claims Commission Wanted. The State Department officials are hope- ful of securing the consent of Chile to the creation of another commission to adjust the claims which the commission just ex- pired could not dispose of for lack of time.
