Washington, Feb. 20. — Miss Alice fLee Roosevelt, daughter of the presi- dent, was married at noon Saturday in the East room of the White House to Nicholas Longworth, member of con- gress from Cincinnati. President Roosevelt gave his daughter away and ; the full marriage service of the Epis- copal church was read by the Rt. Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee, bishop of Washington. The day was perfect, a happy augury for the happiest of brides. THE Mrs. Alice Lee Roosevelt-Longworth. imposing Picture. A more dignified and imposing pie- ture has never been seen in the White House than the great East hoom dur- ing the ceremony. The guests were assembled on the north and south sides of an aisle leading to an impro- vised stage erected near the middle east window, where the ceremony was performed. In the small space about the platform the relatives of Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Longworth stood during the ceremony and were thus given an opportunity to offer their con- gratulations first. No chairs were provided for the guests in the East room and the entire company stood from a few minutes past 11 through the entire ceremony. Notables Arrive. Fifteen minutes before the ceremony the vice president and Mrs. Fairbanks came. They were followed by the am- bassadors and ministers from foreign countries, the judges of the supreme court and their wives, members of the cabinat end hundreds of guests from out of town. The little clock in the red room struck 12, and three minutes later Mrs Roosevelt came down the grand marble staircase, escorted by Theo- dore Roosevelt. Jr., who was one of the.ushers Following Mrs Roosevelt were Miss Ethel Roosevelt with her brother Kermit, and behind them were the two younger boys, Quentin and Archibald. Grandmother Attends. Mrs. George Lee of Boston, the grandmother of the bride, followed the children. The party was shown to the left side of the platform, while Mrs. Longworth end the Countess de Cham- burn, mother and sister of Mr. Long- worth, were on the right. A sudden bush fe)] upon the guests as the first strains of “Tannhaeuser” burst forth. Then, as the White House bride, leaning upon the left arm of the president, entered the room, there was a burst of appreciation from the throng, and silence ensued, which was not broken again until the final invo- cation which pronounced the young couple man and wife. Has No Bridesmaids. suc sful exploring voyage sailed some 30,000 miles in two years. Chief engineer Baum of the Norddeutscher Lioyd has sailed 2,400,000 in forty It is a swifter age. Queen Isabella, who staked Colum- bus, was the first woman whose por- trait was put on a postage stamp by this country. The list has grown somewhat, but has not yet reached Anna Gould, who staked Boni Castel- lane. Livery stable keepers in Connecticut are held by a decision of a court in that state to be not liable as common earriers to exercise extraordinary care for the safety of passengers. Now will the hard cider topers in the Nutmeg State be good! The bride carried a huge bouquet of lavender and white orchids mixed with lilies of the valley and just enough green to give a setting to the flowers. There were no bridesmaids, and in this respect the ceremony was of the simplest character. The bridal gown was a heavy white satin brocade made with a court train. The material of the gown was espe- cially woven for the president's daugh- ter at the mills in Paterson, N. J., and | is of a heavy weave of exquisite tex- ture. The gown is made princess—a style Miss Roosevelt has been wear- ing during the .entire season with } much effectiveness. H Bishop Reads Service. Bishop Satterlee read the betrothal service and then began the marriage ceremony. During the early part of the ceremony the questions were di- rected at the groom, and Miss Roosoe- velt looked nonchalantly at the guests on her left. Mr. Longworth answered in a low voice all the questions put to him, but Miss Roosevelt could be heard all over the East room and about the entrance to the corridor. Jn the second part of the ritual ser- vice, when the bishop asked the ques- tion: “Who giveth this woman?” President Roosevelt stepped briskly forward and took the hand of his daughter and placed it in that of the young Ohio congressman, and as Alice H radiantly turned her face toward him, he exclaimed, strenuously: “T do.” President Shows Emotion. Then he stepped back toward his BRIDE. OPPO Oe wife. The president himself showed deep emotion during the ceremony. The color came and went in his face and as he gave his daughter away, he gulped once or twice as if from excess of feeling. When Bishop Satterlee had given the final blessing he retired from the } platform and Mr. and Mrs: Longworth turned to receive the congratulations of their friends. Felicitated by Guests. After the exchange of family salu- tations, Mr. and Mrs. Longworth took their places amid the flowers and graceful foliage, and for two hours re- ceived the felicitations of the guests. The reception was followed by the wedding breakfast, which was served from an American beauty-decked table in the state dining room. Denart on Honeymoon. The departure of Representative and Mrs. Longworth from the White House was one of the most interesting feat- ures of the eventful day. They will speal part of their honeymoon at Friendship, the country home of John R. McLean, on the Tennallytown road, a short distence frcm Washington. Ex- treme prceautions were taken to out- wit the curious crowds waiting to wit- ness the departure of the bride and bridegroom. Nctwithstanding this, there was a large number of people on hand tc see the bridal couple off. They will remain at Friendship for a day or two and will then go to Palm Beach, Fla., where the greater portion of the honeymoon will be spent. Showered With Gifts. Few brides, not of so-called royal birth, ever have been the recipients of so many and such valuable gifts as were received by Miss Roosevelt. For weeks these tributes of love and affec tion have been pouring into the White House. The bride and the members of ber family were almost over- whelmed by the number and character of the presents. It was not that they were so ‘vaivable, intrinsically, al- though in the aggregate they repre- sent a great sum, but it was the spirit which animated the givers which ap- pealed strongly to Miss Roosevelt. Many of the presents were accompa- nied by oral or written expressions of the deep and sincere regard in which the bride is held by persons of all classes, not only in her own country, | but throughout the world. ~———eeeerrmnmnememo O OO 10 ouneowoweevwO OO O™Orr—————”*"” FARMER !S ASPHYXIATED. Vice President of Waldo (Kan.) Bank Found Dead in Room. Kansas City, Feb. 20. — August Lemke, a retired farmer, vice presi- dent of a bank at Waldo, Kan., was found dead from asphyxiation in a room here. Indications are that he accidentally left the gas jet open when he retired. Lemke came to Kansas City last October to attend his wife, who is in a sanitarium here.

UNITED STATES ACTS ALONE UNITED STATES WILL GATHER 38,000 MEN FOR SERVICE IN CHINA, Washington, Feb. 16.— Thirty-eight thousand men of the regular army are to be mobilized at Manila for service in China in case an uprising against foreigners in the ancient empire. The war department has determined to send four regiments of cavalry and seven batteries of artillery to the Far Eastern islands, in addition to the troops already ordered. The navy department also is active and has directed Rear Admiral Sigs- bee’s squadron, consisting of one ar- mored and three protected cruisers, to hold itself in readiness to proceed to the Far East and report to Rear Admiral Train, commander-in-chief of the Asiatic fleet. The navy depart- ment also has sent instructions to Rear Admiral Train to take such measures as may seem to him advis- able for the adequate protection of Americans and their interests. Empire Is Stirring. Preparations which the military branches of the government have been making indicate that the admin- istration is apprehensive that the gov- ernment of China will be unable to quell the movement against foreign- ers which appears to have gained greater headway than had _ been be- lieved Official dispatches from Min- ister Rockhill and from ‘consuls at various points show the awakening of the empire has come and that its trend is anti-foreign. The people are aroused over the arrogance of Western powers in seiz- ing Chinese territory and otherwise imposing Western will upon thei: ! government. They object to the ex- ercise by foreigners of the right of extra territoriality — the principle which permits foreigners to be tried by consular courts instead of the ju- dicial administrative organizations of China. Aroused by Japan. The agitation has been fostered and indeed, was started, by students who had obtained a smattering of Western education. The young men who were educated in Japan wha came in contact wit hthe virile force which enabled their small neighbor to conquer their own country and mighiy Russia, and which brought Japan to a high and honorable place at the international council table— these youths have returned to China and have spread the gospel of Asia for Asis*ies. London, Feb. 17. — The correspond- ent at Shanghai of the Standard tele- graphs as follows: “News has reached here of another attack on a foreign mission at Nan- king, province of Nanhwei, on the left bank of the Yanktsekiang river. No loss of life is reported. “Yesterday an attempt was made here by a trusted Chinese servant to murder the secretary of the French municipal council while-he was asleep. The attempt was frustrated and the assailant was arrested. “Many of the great provincial vice- roys are displaying a marked anti- foreign attitude, which they would hardly dare so openly assume unless they thought that Pekin approved their conduct. In the foreign settle- ments of treaty ports efforts are be- ing made quietly to recover privileges granted to foreigners. Japan Has Hopes. “In some quarters Japan is believed to view with equanimity the possibil- ity of armed intervention being nec- essary, since it would provide her with the occasion to obtain from China what she failed to exact from Russia. “In Shanghai two additional com- panies of volunteers are being raised. It is reported that the municipal coun- cil favors strengthening the Sikh po- lice force by 500 men. Unfortunately jt is at this juncture that it has been decided to reduce the British China squadron.” Washington, Feb. 18.—Nearly 6,000 Americans, men, women and children, are in peril of death at the hands of Chinese mobs in the threatened Boxer uprising. To rescue as many of these as possible from danger, and take drastic action in every case where an American is molested, is the purpose of the president, through the state, war and navy departments. Activities in this direction have Echo, Minn., Feb. 18. — The Echo Milling company has decided to m- crease the capacity of its mill twenty- five barrels, and yesterday contracted for the necessary machinery. The mill will have a capacity of 125 barrels. Business Man Killed. Jasper, Minn., Feb. 18.—Julius John- (gon, a member of the firm of Berg & | Estenson, Sherman, S. D., was killed yesterday. He was repairing a hay ttack and fell from it. He jeaves a wife and one child. been going on for weeks, but great secrecy has necessarily been main- tained. Aside from the known fact that the Philippine forees have already been greatly augmented and the Asiatic fleet increased, the state department is keeping Its Program Secret. Of the toial number of Americans now in China, it is estimated that not less than 1,400 are engaged in Chris- tian mission work. It is roughly estimated that there are 3,000 Americans engaged in com- mercial pursuits in China, all of whom are victims of the boycott. In addi- tion to these it is estimated that there are 1,500 other Americans in China in the empluyment of Chinese merchants and manufacturers, who heretofore have been paid good wages, but who have been driven from their employ- ment by the anti-American spirit. United States Will Act Alone. One thing. the United States is act ing alone. Nearly all the anti-foreign sentiment in China is directed at Americans. There is some hostility to the French and Germans, but none toward Japan and England. All the countries mentioned have been benefited by the boycott on American goods. Therefore, if Pekin is again taken, as it was in the Boxer uprising of 1900, the feat is likely to be accom- plished by American soldiers. That all preparations being made to | meet the emergencies are being made on a scale commensurate with the | task is indicated by the unprecedented activity at the various army posts and munition factories. Disquieting News Concealed. It is currently reported here that the administration has not made pub- lic the most disquieting of its dis- patches relating to China. Secretary Root has been a_ busy man for several weeks. He has ex- changed cablegrams with our repre- sentatives in Japan, Great Britain and China, with a view to seeing if some- thing could not be done to avert the impending trouble. But his replies have not been entirely satisfactory. Japan, it is asserted officially, is not a party to the trouble, but on the oth- er hand is willing to do what she can to remove it. Great Britain, as Jap- an’s ally, is of a similar mind. GIGANTIC FRAUD CHARGED. Five Million Dollars of Stock Issued on Basis of $10,000. Cincinnati, Feb. 18. — Sensational charges are made in a suit filed in the United States circuit court yesterday by attorneys for Rudolph Kleybolte, the Cincinnati banker, seeking an in- vesetigation of the Miami & Erie Transportation company, known the Electric Mule. The charge is that financiers of Cleveland, whose names are men- tioned as defendants, floated $2,000,- 000 in bonds and $3,000,000 in stock on the sole strength of $10,000 paid up eapital stock in that company. and that these ‘stock and bonds, being placed on the market, were taken in good faith by hundreds of innocent in- veestors in Cincinnati and elsewhere. as PAT CROWE IS ACQUITED.

Cudahy, the Omaha packer, of $25,000 in connec- tion with the kidhapping of the lat- ter’s son five years ago, yesterday af- ternoon, after fifteen hours’ delibera- tion, brought in a verdict of not guilty. The kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy Dec. 19, 1900, and his release upon the payment by his father of $25,000 ran- | som, created a sensation, and the search for the kidnappers was stimu- lated at the time by the offer of a re- ward of $50,000 by Mr. Cudahy.

Copenhagen, Feb, 18—The body of King Christian wes removed from the Christianborg church here yesterday to the cathedral at Roskilde, where it will be buried Sunday among the tombs of the Danish kings, who for a thousand years have found their last resting place in the ancient capital of the kingdom.

WORSE THAN THE MOLLY MAGUIRE PLOT OF THE WESTERN DYNA- MITERS MOST SENSATION- AL SINCE 1877. SIX DOOMED SAYS DETECTIVE MAN WHO BROKE UP MOLLY MA- GUIRES SAYS LABOR LEAD- ERS WILL DIE. Boise, Idaho, Feb. —The confes- sion of Harry Orchard, implicating of ficials of the Western Federation of Miners in the murder of former Gov Frank Steunenherg, rivals the most sensational conspiracy at wholesale as ssination brought to light since the in s exposure of the “Molly Maguir 1877. Orchard’s confession, it is stated, has been verified in important details by detective: The confession has not been made public, but it is admitted that Orchard confesses that it was he who fired the bomb that blew up Former Goy. Steunenberg at his home in Caldwell, Idaho, on the evening of Dec. 30. He says he tried to a nate the gov- eernor on Chrisimas day, intending to shoot him with a shoi:gun. He found he could not effect his purpose without also killing members of the Steunen berg family, and decided to spare them, postponing the crime until a later time. He hid the gun and cart ridges.

Steunenberg’s death at the re quest of his personal friend, Gov Gooding. “I felt it was my duty as a citizen of Colorado to uproot the gang, and as such I undertook the work. These fel- Jows thought it was so long ago that I had broken up the Molly Maguires that I must now be in my dotage. They were not afraid of me. But there is a weak spot in every wall, especially such a one as_ that upon which Wesiern Federation was founded, and that weak spot I found. It will cost Moyer, Haywood and Peitibone, and as many more, their lives.” Series of Assassinations. McParland claims to have positive evidence that members of the West- ern Federation planned and carried out. the assassination of Detective Lyte Gregory, who was killed mysteri- ously in West Denver two years ago: of Martin Gleason, superintendent of the Wild Horse mine at Cripple Creek, who was thrown down a shaft; of Ar- thur Collins, superintendent of the Smuggler-Union mine at Telluride, who was shot from ambush; of the killing of fourteen men in the explo- sion at the Independence depot near Cripple Creek, June 6, 1904; of the murder of Martin B.
