GREAT SOCIAL EVENT IN LONDON Oscar Wilde Defends Himself on the Stand. . ——__>_ THE REVOLTIN CUBA NEWMARKET, England, April 30.—Un- usual interest was taken in the opening of the first Newmarket spring meeting here today. In addition to the 1,000 and 2,000 guineas stakes, in which Derby favorites meet, American horses are entered for several events. ‘The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cam- bridge and a large party drove here from Sandringham this morning, and Lord Rose- bery, the Duke of Portland and a host of other notabilities were present. The weather is splendid, and good racing is looked forward to. Interest centered to- day in the 2,000 guineas trial plate, in which Mr. Michael F. Dwyer’s Don Alonzo and Banquet were entered. The former, however, was scratched. The result was as follows: Mr. Michael F. Dwyer’s bay gelding Banquet, aged, by Rayon d'Or out of Ella T., Simms up, eight stone—first. Legal Tender, a bay colt, by Minting out of Aureolire, carrying seven stone eleven pounds—secord. Esmond, a bay horse, by Lowland Chief out of Clarissa, carrying elght stone eight pounds—third. Chibiabos, a three-year-old chestnut colt, cut out the work, closely followed by Ban- quet and Legal Tender. They ran in this order to the bushes, where Banquet took a clear lead and won in a canter by three lengths. Three-quarters of a length sep- arated Legal Tender and Esmond. Seven horses ran. The betting at the post was 5 to 4 against Banquet; 10 to 1 against Legal Tender, and 6 to 4 against Esmond. For the first spring two-year-old stakes, also to be decided today, Mr. Foxhall Keene has two entries, a chestnut filly by Amphion out of Innerdaie, and a chestnut filly by Barcaldine out of Stephanctis. For the visitcrs’ welter plate Mr. Rich- ard Croker’s Eau Gallie and Mr. Michael F. Dwyer’s Banquet were entered. All the American horses were heavily handicapped. Mr. H. McCalmont’s Raconteur, a bay colt, by St. Simon out of Platsanterie, is an easy favorite for the 2,000 guineas stakes, which is to be run tomorrow, in spite of the fact that he has to meet Lord Rosebery’s Sir Visto, who was formerly considered far superior to Raconteur, who was bought as a yearling for 3,000 guineas, and who did Indifferently as a two-year-old. But he has improved rapidly, and an ex- citing contesi is expected. For the 1,000 cuineas stakes, to be run on Thursday, only a small field is expected, and Mr. Daniel Cooper’s Float, a bay filly, by Sheen out of Footlight, is regarded as a certain winner. WILDE D PE DS HIMSELF. He is Pat on the Witne: His Own Trial. LONDON, April 30.—The Old Bailey was less crowded this morning when the court opened for what was expected to be the last day of the trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor on the charge of serious mis- demeanors, etc. Counsel for the crown, when the proceedings opened, withdrew the charge of conspiracy against Wilde, saying that he desired to avoid any difficulty in placing the prisoners in the witness box. When Wilde was placed in the dock it was evident that he had been well “‘coach- ed” for the occasion. He seemed to have lost all the airy swagger which so dis- gusted all who witressed it during the for- mer trial. Mr. C. F. Gill, on behalf of the prosecu- tion, began bis cross-examination on the same lines as that of Mr. Edward M. Car- son, Q. C., who defended the Marquis of Queensberry against the charge of libel. He quoted from the sonnet to Lord Alfred Douglas, in which occurred the line: “I am that love, but dare not speak Its name.” Mr. Gill asked what was the nature of the love represented in that poem. Wilde, with marked’ deliberation and em- phasis, answered: “It is a love not understocd in this cen- tury. It is the love of David for Jonathan —a deep, spiritual affection, as pure as it is perfect. It is something this age does not understand, but mocks it it and some- times puts one into the pilloiy.” As Wilde finished his answer there were loud ckeers from the gallery which called forth a rebuke from the judg, who threat- ened to eject these who too.c part in the demonstration. WHILE Roy Stand in LTY LOOKED ON. ‘The Duchess of Marlborough Married to Lord William Beresford. LONDON, April 30.—At the fashionable St. George's Church, Hanover Square, at 1 o'clock this afternoon, the widowed Duch- ess of Marlborough, formerly Mrs. Louis Hammersley of New York, was married to Lord William Beresford, formerly colonel of the ninth lancers, who gained the most coveted of all military decorations in Great Britain, the Victoria cross, by riding back into the thick of the fight at the battle of Ulundi to rescue a lancer, whom he placed across his saddle and then cut his way out to safety. The church was crowded with royalty, members of the diplomatic corps, repre- sentatives of the various colonies, govern- ors of different colonial possessions, offi- cers of the army and navy and members of the elite of American and English so- ciety of London and elsewhere. The steps to the church were covered with red cloth, and waving palms gave a bright and refreshing appearance to the altar rails, and these rows of palms were surrounded with banks of white lilies. Shortly before 1 p.m. the bridegroom, at- tended by his brother, Lord Marcus Beres- ford, entered the church. At 1 o'clock promptly the bride’s carriage arrived, and the “American duchess,” as the beautiful Lily is known, entered the church leaning on the arm of her stepson, the young Duke of Marlborough. The bride was dressed in a dove gray coat and skirt of brocaded satin, with white lace waistcoat and cuffs with diamord buttons, a white bonnet with gray chiffons and a magnificent white veil. She carried a large silver prayer book, and when she took her place by the side of the bridegroom it was noticeable that she was much taller than Lord William Beresford, by the way, looks older than he really The Rev. James Edgar Sheppard, hon- orary chaplain to the queen, officiated, assisted by the Rev. David Anderson, rec- tor of St. George's Church. The service was fully choral, and occu- pied half an hour. Another International Wedding. At Bridge today Miss Josephine Cham- berlain, youngest daughter of W. S. Cham- berlain of Cleveland, Ohio, was married to J. Scarisbrick, esq., of Lancashire. Lord Borthwick was the best man. Capt. Her- bert Scarisbrick Naylor-Leyland, the hus- band of Jane Chamberlain, sister of the bride, formerly member of ‘parliament for Colchester, gave the bride away. IRREPRESSIBL Although Beaten They Again Meet the Spanish. HAVANA, April 30.—The force of insur- gents which was said to have been routed on April 24 by Spanish troops, under Major Tejerizo, reorganized and concentrated in the vicinity of Ramon Yagneres. They again met the Spanish forces, under ‘Tejerizo, at Ramon Yagneres, and the rebels are reported in this ¢hcounter to have lost sixty-two kiiled, while many were wounded. The Spanish loss is said to be six-dead and three wounded. ee Rev. John Porter, Rev. Richard T. Leek and Rev. Joseph A. A.

THE SUN TO. SHINE AGAIN. All Indications Point to an Early End of the Rain Storm. Forecast till 8 p.m., Wednesday—For the District of Columbia, Delaware and Mary~ land, showers, followed Wednesday by fair; easterly winds. For Virginia and North Carolina, show- ers, followed Wednesday by fair; warmer in the interfor; easterly winds. After three days of Intermittent rain the weather reports promise clearing weather. ‘The cloud and rain area which has covered uhe Atlantic coast districts will, however, dissipate slowly, and unstttled weather will probably continue today and tonight, end possibly during a portion of Wednesday. ‘The western storm, which has changed position but slightly and decreased in strength, will not influence the weather of the eastern districts. The area of high barometer which has appeared’ over the Lake Superior region will probably settle southeastwerd over the Atlantic coast cis- tricts, causing a slight fall in temperature in New England, ard materially assist in producing fair weather in those districts. The rainfall from the storm has amount- ed at Washington to 2.01 inches, and the depth of rainfall along the Carolina coest has exceeded one inch during~ the last twenty-four hours. So far, therefore, as reports indicate, fair weather may be ex- pected in this section Wednesday. Condition of the Water.

Notes. ‘The entertainment of the Mite Society of the Dumbarton Avenue Church, which, on account of the sudden ‘illness of Rev. Dr. Stitt, was postponed from April 5, has been arranged to come off on Friday, May 3. The barn of Mr. W. J. Mullin, on the Broad Brarch road, caught fire yesterday morning. It burned steadily, in spite of the dampness and opposition of neighbors. The place was damaged to the.extent of $500. Business on the canal continues dull, Long lines of laden boats are lying silently along the waterway waiting to be un- leaded. ‘A dead body was yesterday found on the Rock creek dump, near N street. It was very young, and was discovered by some parties engaged in digging in the refuse. The college grand stand is up now, pre- senting an improvement and convenience to the handsome, big field. —————— EMPLOYES ASSESSED. How a Deficit is Made Up in the En- graving and Printing Bureau. Some days ago a discrepancy was discov- ered in the accounts of the binding division of the bureau of engraving and printing. Every effort was made to find out where the trouble lay, but without avail. The dif- ference amounted to $232. As a result the books of the division would not balance by that amount. In cases of this sort it is the rule of the bureau that the difference must be made good by the responsible parties. An effort is made. to narrow the responsi- bility down to the individual, if possible; if not, down to the division or section. In this instance it was impossible to narrow the matter down beyond the division, and Chief Johnson decided that there was noth- ‘ing to do about it but to assess the em- ployes of the entire division to make up the balance. The superintendent of the binding divis- ion has a large number of miscellaneous items of business under his direction, and among these is the work of perforating, gumming and pressing the postage stamps which are made by the bureau. The presumption is that through tiie care- lessness of some of the*employes in the division stamps to the amount in question were accidentally destroyed in the gurz ming. There is no suggestion that there has been dishonesty or that any one has profited by the incident. It has always been the rule of the bureau to make axsess- ments of this sort when there has been any loss, and while these have not been fre- quent, they are by: no means unknown. The employes naturally object to the as- sessment, but they ,bave no choice in the matter, and the amounts against their names are to be deducted from their next pay envelopes. The‘assessments have been made in proportion to the salaries received, and the heaviest loser fs consequently the superintendent of the division. He has been assessed to the tune of $6. Employes to the number of 158 are affected by the order of the chiefj:and the assessments against them vary from the lowest, which is $1, to $4. The majority df them receive pay from $1.10 to ‘$1.75. Chief Johnson expresses regret for the necessity cf im- posing the assessment as much as any one, but he says he hopes that-it will result in- greater care in the future, and the effect will be a salutary‘one, it'is thouxat, in preventing similar occurrences. + 0 + Ground for Potato Patches, Several ewners of property, both in and outside of the city, have notified Mr. John B. Wight, the secretary of the board of trade, and Mr. Frederick L. Moore, the chairman of the committee of the board, to whom the Detroit plan for poor relief was referred, that they will place tracts .of land at their disposal for the use of peor persons in this city 10 may wish to cultivate them. Mr. Wight is prepar- ing blank forms, one for the use of those who contribute the ground, and the other form is for the applicant. The various cffers of land placed at the disposal of the beard for this purpose have not as yet been tabulated, neither have the details for assigning the persons to be benefited by this form of relief been arranged. BUCKINGHAM'’S DYE FOR THH WHISKERS does its work thoroughly, coloring uniform brown or black, which, when dry, will neither Tub, Wash off nor soil linen, RUSSIA MAY BLOCKADE JAPAN. She Couldn’t Go to War in Less Than Three Months. According to the St. Petersburg corre- spondent of the New York Herald, in the event of Japan refusing to accede to the demands of Russia, France and Germany in regard to the retention of the Liao Tung peninsula, it is most probable that Russia will at once declare a blockade of the Jap- anese ports. The London Times correspondent in St. Petersburg says the military and naval au- thorities there are preparing to mobilize the forces in case of necessity. Russia will not be ready for successful action in eee far east, he thinks, for three months at feast. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Vienna Politische Correspondez says: “The diplomatic note in which the Rus- sian claims were laid before Japan was couched in a very determined form. Prince Lobanoff, in his last interview with the Japanese minister in St. Petersburg, point- ed out that Russia could not take into con- sideration the fear of the Japanese gov- ernment that there would be a revolution in Japan if the mikado @cceded to Rus- sia’s demands for the revision of the treaty. Japan's reply is expected hourly. Whatever its nature, it is regarded as as- sured that the understanding between Rus- sia, Germany and France will be main- tained till the desired end shall be achieved.” - The Situation Grave. The London Times’ correspondent in Kobe says: The Russian and German min- isters started from Tokio for Kobe today. It is believed that they aim to interview Premier Count Ito and Mr. Mutsu, secre- tary of the foreign office. The French min- istg is expected to follow them. The minado’s chill is the ostensible reason for postponing the dates to celebrate the vic- tory of Japanese arms. Evidently the sit- uation is very grave. The Times’ Hong Kong correspondent say: ‘A British warship will go to Pesca- dores to fetch a Times agent and another Englishman, who are unable to leave the island cr send dispatches, although anxious to do both. It is supposed that the Japa- nese wish to hide the massacre of the Chi- nese garrison.” The Graphic correspondent at Yokohama says: “The Japanese think that when China shall have ratified the treaty of peace there will not be any ground for in- tervention on the part of the European powers. The opfhion is still held generally that such intervention would cause a dan- gerous ferment in the country, and would imperil the government. The Japanese are not in the frame of mind to regard with equanimity the action of the powers at- tempting to deprive them of the fruit of victory.” The Berlin North German Gazette de- fends Germany's part in the joint protest against the Shimonoseki treaty. “We are fully justified,” it says, “however little the protection of foreign interests is concerned, in going hand in hand with Russia. This, moreover, is a policy which has the ad- vantage of promoting effectively German trade relations with east Asia.” —. oe THEY HAVE FUN. National Rifles and Friends Enjoy Themselves. The National Rifles posed as hosts last evening, and entertained hundreds of friends in a most enjoyable manner at what was termed a “smoker.’’ The object of the gathering was for everyone to have a@ good time, and the members of the Rifles exerted themselves to that end, and they succeeded admirably. A sumptuous repast was served, and then clay pipes and to- bacco were brought on. During the evening a program of unusual excellence was pre- sented by the following: The Olmo Mando- lin and Banjo Club, Columbia Mandolin and Banjo Club, Anacostia Glee, Mandolin and Banjo Club, Carroll Institute Orchestra, Capital Glee Club Quartet, Messrs. J. J. Fisher, Philip Baer, Melville Hensey, Geo. Terry, E. B. Jasper, George O'Connor, J. H. Mahoney, Dr. N. E. Vowles, J. R. Gal- loway, Irelan W. H. Connelly, David Bangs, J. T. Cocker, Aaron Stearns, Chas. McEnaney and Mr. von Beckman. In the midst of the hilarity Lieut. Ed. Hay caused an increase of laughter by sol- emnly presenting Private Harringson, as “a token of esteem and appreciation,” with a broken clay pipe. The recipient made a fitting response. The smoker was arranged by a commit- tee, consisting of Sergt” W. H. Way, Seret. Schuyler Stokes and Private W. H. Mad- dox. Military men formed a large propor- tion of the guests. ——.__ Overcome by Gan. Rachel Johnson, a young colored girl serving as a domestic in the family of Wm. M. Shuster, who resides at 1408 15th street northwest, was found yesterday morning in an unconscious condition in her room by the members, of the family. When the family arose the odor of gas was plainly smelled, and an investigation was made with the result of finding the girl in her roo: nearly dead from the effects of inhalin; the fumes. She had been but a short time in the employ of Mr. Shuster, and it is thought that ignorance of the nature of the ordinary gas fixture was the cause of the accident. At the hospital this afternoon a Star reporter was informed that the girl was still unconscious, and that it would be a very tight pull if she recovered. a No Poison Found. Prof. J. D. Hird, chemist of the health department, has completed his analysis of the contents of the stomach of Mrs. David Hammond, who died suddenly at her home in Georgetown Sunday, as printed in yes- terday’s Star. There was not the slightest suspicion of poison found in the contents of the stomach, nor was there anything found which would in any way indicate that Mrs. Hammond’s death resulted from other than natural causes, INST. MARK’S CHURCH Rector Meeting With the Two Sets of Vestrymen. A LARGE MEETING SET FOR TONIGHT A Constitutional Question Raised as to Voters. HOW IT MAY TURN OUT There are a few fragments of Mr. Tor- bert’s de jure vestry notice still sticking to the big doors of St. Mark’s Church, which will be swung wide open tonight for a parish meeting that is expected to give the fullest consideration to the questions at issue between the two vestries. It is feared by some members of the church, however, that the church has now got so far beyond the point where compromise is possible that the trouble to come will vary inverse- ly with the little bits of Mr. Torbert’s no- tice left on the doors. Last night the Torbert, or de jure, ves- try met the rector, Mr. A. J. Graham, at his house and the conference which follow- ed lasted until midnight. What was done none of those present will relate for pub- lication. When a Star reporter called this afternoon at Mr. Graham's house word came down from his study that he could not see reporters today and had nothing to say in regard to church matters, but that there would be a meeting of the parish to- night where the questions of difference would be taken up, and reporters were wel- come to be present and report the pro- ceedings. What Was Done. From what may be gleaned from per- sons who have conversed with the de jure vestrymen who met the rector last night it is believed that plain language was the order ‘of the evening. While at first there was a disposition on part of both sides to hold the rector up out of the dissension, his action in the telegram to have the Torbert notice torn down. and the tone of his comment on the situation since has driven the de jure party into a feeling that he is hostile to them. It is stated, however, that the conference last night re- sulted in clearing the atmosphere a good deal, and removing from the rector’s mind some unfavorable impressions. Criticism is made on some of the rector’s statements. Members of his parish who have a respect and affection for gentle- men who are in both vestries object to Mr. Graham's remark that he had no need for two vestries, and that one was all he wanted. No small part of the criticism heard is addressed to what Oliver Wendeil Holmes called the “little pronoun .habit.” They respectfully submit that Mr. Gra- ham’s language in regard to the situation draws, as a printer would say, too severe- ly on the capital I box. This is not en- tirely intended as stricture upon his use of the first person singular, but members of the-church insist that the church, its members, and its vestry were not created for the rector and that he is not the cen- ter around which the church revolves. A Meeting Tonight. The meeting tonight will be a large one. Both factions will be out in force. ready, through their leaders, to present their re- spective cases, though Mr. Graham has an- nounced that there will be no debate. The notice, as given by the rector Sunday, in- cluded only such members of the parish as were willing to abide by his decision. The conference last evening with the de jure vestry seems to have qualified this invita- tion, and today the following notice was published: “St. Mark's Conference: hereby request and invite every mem- ber and attendant of St. Mark’s Church who is willing to be guided by the rector’s advice in the settlement of the troubles of the parish to assemble in thé parish church on Tuesday, April 30, at 7:30 p.m., at which time I shall make a statement for their consideration, A. J. GRAHAM, rector. Having heard the Torbert party last even- ing, Mr. Graham will this afternoon meet the de facto vestry and listen to their pre- sentation of the matter. The fact that Messrs. Marlow, Wood and Hillyer, “hold over” members of the vestry, sympathize with the de jure or Torbert party, gives a reasonable probability of success to the ef- fort to bring about a compromise of the trouble. Yet many believe that both sides will re- main firm in the position they have taken, and that the rector is not likely to superin- duce any very great showers of balmy Peace. In the event that a compromise should be made there is doubt of its per- manent effect on the question of suffrage in the church, and to many it seems wiser to submit the question either to the bishop or the coming convention, so that it may be settled authoritatively once for all. A Constitutional Point. Somewhere in the controversy another point of law has been brought up to the effect that the existing law as to the quali- fications of the parish voter is unconstitu- tional, and therefore void. The first amendment of the Constitution of the United States provides that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The old Maryland law defining what a person must be and do in order to bave a vote in the parish, no matter how much it was re-enacted by the District legislature in 1873, and affirmed by Con- gress in the year following, would there- tore seem to be virtually rendered inoper- ative. This point, it is said, was brought up several years ago in a controversy in the Church of the Incarnation, where the eligibility of parish voters was in question. The effect of this point would be to weaken the position of the Torbert party, unless the provisions of the old law were accepted as having the force of precedent apart from any ‘egal sanction. ——— ‘Twenty-Six Cases. Assistant District Attorney Mullowny has investigated the case of Robert L. Ryan and Volina Ryan, his wife, charged with robbing M. Dyrenforth’s clothing store of about $500 worth of goods, and has con- cluded to file twenty-six charges of lar- ceny against them. There will be one charge of grand larceny. o The cases will be called in Judge Miller's court tomorrow morning, when the goods in the case will be displayed for the bene fit of the court.

This places the wonderful benefit of his great skill with- jn the reach of all. In addition to the large nume ber of callers he sees dally he yet finds time to answer personally the many letters he constantly receives from out-of-town sufferers who seek bis aid or advice.
