Gonsipe. The Vanderbilt-Whitney Wedding Day Appointed—Personal Notes - of Interest. ‘The announcement of Secretary Herbert's projected Eurcpean tour madé in this col- umn Monday has started the gossips to making a summer set of matrimonial plans for him. The gallant Secretary of the Navy has been left out of the published an- nouncements of this order for the past year, but the gcssips were never idle when- ever there was a chance to use his name, and it has been freely whispered about, from time to time, that his approaching marriage with the wealthy widow of a Supreme Court justice was an absolute cer- tainty. The lady in question has survived @ great many rumors of this kind, for be- ing most attractive in person and charac- ter, as well as in the possession of an in- dependent fortune, she was a natural tar- get and accepted her fate philosophically. Miss Herbert is going abroad with her father, and anticipates a most delightful tour with him. The wedding of Miss Gertrude Vander- bilt, daughter of Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, to Mr. Harry Payne Whitney, eldest son of former Secretary of the Navy William C. Whitney, will be celebrated August 25, at “The Breakers,” the magnificent seaside villa of the bride’s father at Newport. This date is contingent upon the continued im- provement of Mr. Vanderbilt's health, and the wedding arrangements are naturally being arranged on a simpler scale in conse- quence. It is understood that only the more intimate friends of the couple will be present with the Vanderbilt and Whitney families. Bishop Potter, who ts now on his way home from Europe, will officiate. None of the wedding details have been arranged as yet, and the members of the bridal party have not been announced. A cable order was sent a few days ago to Paris to pre- pare Miss Vanderbilt's wedding dress and the greater part of her trousseau. The en- gagement of Miss Vanderbilt to Mr. Whit- ney was formally announced June 10 of the present year, meeting with the hearty ap- proval of both families. Miss Vanderbilt is a lovely and charming girl, and Mr. Whit- ney 1s one of the most popular young men in New York and Newport society. He Was graduated from Yale with honors, and, like many other men of his class, excelled in sports. He has been particularly identi- fied with the outdoor life of Newport, es- pecially on the polo field, being one of the most energetic and skillful players of the younger set. Mr. Whitney has not been in Newport since Mr. Vanderbilt's removal from New York to “The Breakers.” Mrs. Almeric Hugh Paget, sister of Mr. Whit- ney, is at the Rocks, where her brother is expected in a few days.

The program committee of the camp meet- ing “builded better than they knew” doubt- Jess when they gave the/initial service of the annual August serieg,to<the District Epworth League. Quite a host of joyous, whole-souled young Methodists, following the lead of First Vice PfesiGent Thos. J. Clark, came out by an early evening train and were given hearty Christian greeting by the resident leaguers who awaited them at the station. A later train brought many more, and Grove avenue, the boulevard of the encampment, was a bfiliigat, antmated scene. The handsome cottages. lining this approach to the auditorium were hospitably aglow with light and home cheer and every available beam waved radiant Japanese lanterns and the banner of the free. The tabernacle was but the climax of this gorgeous display, for there graceful wild flowers and growing plants combined with yards of stars and stripes conspired in artistic figures to transform the rugged edifice into a veritable temple of beauty. A service of song, conducted by Wm, J. Palmer, fourth vice president, District League, gave the large congregation an in- terval to be seated quietly before the pre- siding officer, T. J. Clark, called upon Rev. W. H. Richardson of Gorsuch Church to offer the invocation. Dr. Luther Wilson, P. E., in a few chaste sentences, heartily wel- comed the visitors, after which “Whole- hearted and True-hearted” was sung by the large chorus seated on the platform, wit! Prof. Jas Dyre at the organ. 5 Rev. Robert M. Moore, the boy orator of the Baltimore conference, was happily in- troduced and spoke eloquently and profit- ably upon the aims and possibilities of the league. Miss Gertrude Dana, the talented sopraro of Waugh Chapel choir, sang “Open the Gates” with marked effect. ident F. E. Tasker was next called to the desk and made a strong and convincing appeal for loyalty to the league and the church, after which the chorus sang, as if inspired, “‘Loyalty to Christ.” Rev. H. R. Naylor, D.D., a prime favorite in camp, and one of the stalwarts of Meth- odism, was the next speaker, and after putting the audience in a fine humor with a witty preamble, made a powerful and ear- nest exhortation to heartiness and whole- souled consecration to the work of lifting up humanity, as embodied in the league's creed. “Sweet Peace,” a duet, was sung by Miss Dana and Mr. Wm. Palmer. Rev. W. R. Strickland of Hamlire charge led an {m- pressive consecration service, in which sev- eral publicly covenanted to work faithfully and prayerfully for the spiritual success of the camp. With the singing of the “Doxol- ogy” was closed the most successful rally of the several held by the league in the Grove. Dr. Peck, president of the association, will conduct the sunrise prayer meeting to- morrow, «nd Rev. J. W. Beall of the county circuit will preside at the experience meeting at 9:15 am. Rev. C. W. Pate of North Capitol charge has been assigned to the children’s hour, from 2 to 3 p.m. daily, and will be ably assisted by Mrs. Clara Roach. Dr. Olin E. Eldridge of Waugh Chapel will preach at the evening service, and Rev. W. R. Strickland will lead the young people in their twilight consecration meet- ing. Wednesday afternoon will be devoted to foreign missions, and Dr. Scott of Indla is ip camp and will address the meeting. Other speakers of note to participate are Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. 8. L. Betler, Miss Tur- ner and Miss Tilton.

Dr. Strickland will conduct the devotional ex- -ercises and Mrs. J. C. Tasker. will give the Bible lesson. “Our Mission Fields” will be discussed by Mrs. C. L. Roach, Mrs. 8, L.

A Washingtonian Describes His Ex- periences Across the Water. Mr. William F. Gude, who has just re- turned from an extended European trip, was met by a Star reporter this morning. “I read The Star's editorial in Monday's tasue in reference to the hospitality extend- ed to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of Boston while in London,” he remarked, “and, having just gotten back from a tour through France, Germany, Holland, Bel- gium and England, I fully appreciate what it means to enjoy extra privileges in strange countries. In all the cities I visited I was cordially received and welcomed, and this was especially true in London. I was a per- fect stranger when I arrived there, but it only required about three hours for me to be acquainted with friendly gentlemen, who did everything to show me how truly wel- come I was. During my stay there I was even accorded privileges that are denied to the residents of London, and everywhere in England I was extended pleasant cour- tesies. The English are certainly very par- tial to Americans, because my experience among them abundantly proves it.” = = Hotel Arrivals. Metropolitan.—L. W. Serrell, Jas. Flasher, W. A. Bolton, A.

NEW YORK, August 5.—The German oll tank steamer Mannheim, Captain Ocke!- mann, which arrived this morning from Geestemunde, had quite an eventful passage. The steamer sailed July 22, in ballast, and encountered fresh westerly winds and head seas until the 27th, when the wind shifted to W. 8. W. and began to blow a whole gale. About 6 o'clock in the evening, in latitude 4848, longitude 20.43, a bark wes sighted flying signals of @istress. She was hove down to port and appeared to be in danger of capsizing. Captain Ockelmann approached the derelict as closely as he could, and sailed around her several times, blowing the steam whistle continually, but no signs of life at first appeared. After some little time a large black dog was noticed rushing fran- tically about the deck and barking in great excitement. Although there was a dangerous sea run- ring, Captain Ockelmann decided that it would be well to board the bark and as- certain some definite particulars about her. He could make out her name to be the Ernest, and that she was German. A boat was lowered, and rowed close to the bark. Taking advantage of a favoring lurch of the vessel, the mate of the Mannheim man- aged to scramble upon her deck and ran in- to the cabin to ascertain if there was any- body left on board. It was evident that the vessel had been but lately abandoned, and there were on every hand evidences of a hasty departure. There was no sign of life visible except the big black dog, who kept up a joyful barking and jumping around the mate in the most eager manner. As the vessel was so evidently doom there being nearly ten feet of water in the hold, the mate decided to set fire to her, so that she might not become a menace to navigation, as she lay directly in the path of the trans-Atlantic liners. A huge fire was bullt in the after cabin, and picking up the ship's papers and calling to the black dog, the mate made his way over the side and into the lifeboat, accompanied by the dog. The last seen of the Ernest was a mess of flame pouring out of the compan- fon hatches of the after cabin. On arrival in quarantine this morning, Capt. Ockelmann was much interested to learn that the crew of the bark had been rescued by the French liner La Bourgogne earlier on the same day on which he board- ed her. The dog, a very intelligent New- foundiand, was running around the Mann- deck, apparently happy and con- Another incident during the Mannheim’s passage was of a tragic nature. Among the firemen shipped at Geestemunde was a German named Carl Janner, aged thirty- nine. He was under the influence of liquor when he came aboard, and soon de- veloped delirium tremens. mann ordered him confined in the hospi which is a small room under the forecastle deck. He was very despondent during his lucid intervals, and for fear that he might injure himself all weapons were taken away from him. On July 31, however, eluding the watchfulness of his guard, he urdid the lacing of his clothes bag and hanged himself to the door-frame. He was soon discovered, but too late to be restor- ed. He was buried at sea on August 1. ess CHICAGO'S EXCHANGE CLOSED. Panic Said to Have Been Averted by the Action Taken. CHICAGO, August 5.—The Chicago stock exchange is still closed, and will remain elcsed until the Moore Brothers’ faflure has heen settled. The action of the governing committee in closing the doors of the ex- change ‘s said by certain financiers who are in a position to know to have averted a panic. “There is no telling where it would have ended,” said a member of the stock exchange today. “It might have resulted in the ruination of a dozen business houses and banks.” President M. M. Jamison of the exchange ‘n fulfillment of the resolutions adopted by the governing committee appoinied the fol- lowing gentlemen to act with him as a com- mittee to confer with the banks for the Purpose of arranging a settlement of the affairs of the Moore Brothers: P. A. Valentine of Armour & Co., A. M. Day of Counselman & Day and C. C. Yoe of Brewster & Co. The Moore Brothers are preparing a statement of their affairs and of the Diamond Match and New York Bis- cuit companies. The stcck exchange will be kept closed until all the facts are known, and until a syndicate ts formed to underwrite the deal at some price to be settled upon, after all the information is furnished by the Moores, particularly as to the standing of the com- panies. The Diamond Match price will not be over 160, and New York Biscuit be over 75. Moores claim the companies are not at all involved. It is claimed 165 was bid yes- terday for Diamond Match. J. H. Moore says: “Our troubles began Saturday. Sunday it looked blue. Monday morning I had a promise from my brother in the east. Mon- day afternoon the money gave out.” ‘The stock exchange brokers have inform- ed their clients that, under the rules, they do rot guarantee trades, and that, conse- quently, short sellers mst for their profi:s depend upon the solvency of tne conceras to whom the sales were made. Conse- quently those short on Diamond Match and New York Biscuit do not know yet whether they will get their immense paper Profits or not, and will not know until the stock exchange reopens. Friends of the Diamond Match Company claim that President Barber stands entirely aloof from the Moore failure; that he was in nowise interested in the speculative deal. Mr. Moore is authority for the statement that had not’C. T. Yerkes come to the mar- ket as a borrower (to the extent of nearly $1,006,000) the collapse had been adverted. Many banks threw out the Moore securi- ties and substituted those of the North Chicago and West Chicago street railway values. One house known to be short of Diamond Match and New York Biscuit is bidding 170 for the former and 75 for the latter. There is an unverified report that the Armour crowd will take all of the Moore holdings at a certain figure and terminate the deal as proposed by the Mon- roe street lawyers. President Barber of the Diamond Match Company has sent the following cablegram from Paris to Moore Brothers: “Our presence here quite necessary. Can do no good if there. Have some important ttades here. Government denies statement trade by Goulds’ agents. BARBER.” —_——.—__. COMING TO WASHINGTON. 14 Hung Chang’s Secretary -to Meet the Chinese Chancellor. SEATTLE, Wash., August 5.—_Won On Pong, first secretary of the Chinese chan- cellor, Li Hung Chang, accompanted by an interpreter and body servant, arrived In this city last night from Victoria, en route to San Francisco, thence to Washington. Won On Pong’s title is “military second degree.” He is a very handsome man, standing nearly six feet tall and weighing about 200 pounds.

LONDON, August 5.—Li Hung Chang and his suite went by special train to Ports- mouth today in order to cross the Solent to the Isle of Wight and visit the queen at Osborne. He was received at Portsmouth by a number of distinguished naval officers and others, and a salute of nineteen guns was fired when he boarded the royal yacht Alberta, which was in waiting. Upon leav- ing Portsmouth the yacht made a detour and gave the distinguished traveler a view of the large fleet of warships assembled in .those waters, and also permitted him to see about as large and attractive a fleet of pleasure craft as ever assembled in the Solent. The Chinese statesman was saluted by the ficet, and continued on his way to Trinity wharf, Cowes, where he was re- ceived by the Prince of Wales, who escorted him to Osborne. The Marquis of Salisbury, who presented Li Hung Chang to her majesty, had preceded the Chinese envoy to the Isle of Wight. ——— Assets Thrice the Liabilities.

POPULISTS AND, SILVERITES A Oarload of Literature, &c., for the For- Many Requests Being Received for Sliver Documents—A Virginia Club Formed Yesterday. Those in charge of the populist head- quarters say that a carload of populist terature, furniture, &>., from the former headquarters in St. Loais has arrived here. It has not been taken from the depot, and is awaiting the arrival of Chairman butler. Much of it will do, it is sald, to start off the populizt campaign. It is also said that many letters are ar- riving for Chairman Butler. Various let- ters approving ard condemning the pop- ulist nomination of Bryan and Watson ere aiso being re2eived. Many of the writers, it is said, still protest egainst the pop- ulists “being swallowed hy the democrats.” There is mutiny in mary quarters, but, ccmpared with the letters of indorsement, the kicking wrtiers are said to be few. There seems to be no exact knowledge as to when Chairman Butler will come here except that it will be some time this week, probably within a day or two. At Silver Headquarters, The Creseent Democratic Club of Phila- delphia writes to silver party headquarters for 5,000 documents for distribution among alleged “wavering” republican voters in that city. Almond Barrelle of Boston writes the party managers that silver clubs are being formed all over Massachusetis. A peculiar feature of the campaign is that demcecrats and democratic clubs write almost as freely to silver party headquar- ters for literature as they do to their own party headqvarters. The requests are promptly filled if the managers have on hand what ts wanted. If they cannot till the order they turn it over to Chairman Faulkner in the Fcpe that he w: to do something. jiimalecs From what is learned none of the silver headquarters are able to supply the de- mand. They have run out of literature and are waiting on funds to begin printing. The demand Is unprecedented, an beyond th. expectations of any of agers, ‘ Silver Party Orga: After the meeting held at Falls Church, Va., yesterday there was a meeting of :he silver party adherents for the purpose of organizing in Fairfax county. This w: done. James P. Machem was elected coun- ty chairman, and the following chairmen for the Aifferent townships were elected: Wm. B. Dodge, Providence township; J. P. Machem, Centreville township; John S. Duffie, Drainsville township; Charles L. Campbell, Falls Church township. W. S. Moot was elected Senatorial canvasser of the fourteenth district. A. A. Lipscomb, candidate for the dem crdtic nomination of the eighth Virginia district, taiked with silver leaders today. He said to a Star reporter that Virginia would give Bryan and Sewall 60) ma- jority. ———— oe IF BRYAN GOES TO CANTON. He Will Be Able to §; a Car nm response to the recent telegram from nton, Ohio, telling of the organ‘zation of the silver forces in the home city of Gov- ernor McKinley, Mr. Bryan sent the follow- ing from Lincoln, Neb.: Mr. John C. Harmony, secretary Bryan Silver Club, Canton, Ohio: My Dear Sir:. I am in receipt of your message, conveying greetings from the members of your club, and beg to assure them of my hearty appreciation of their support. The fact that those of your citi- zens who believe that the United States is strong enough to have a financial policy of its own are willing to array themselves agaiast a towrsman of high character and great personal worth indicates the depth of their convictions. Whenever a great issue arises the American people always prove their independence and moral courage, characterist:cs without which self-govern- ment is impossible. It gratifies me to know that the silver sentiment in its growth is disregarding party lines. Yours truly, W. J. BRYAN. In regard to their invitation extended to him to speak in Canton, Mr. Bryan sald that he did not know that he would do so, but that if he did tt would be an informal talk from the car platform. Capt.
