[Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Tennstt.| Loxpox, July 27.—(New York Herald Gable—Special to Tue Brgk.]—At Bucking- ham to-day, amid all the splendor and pomp of royal ceremonial, Princess Louise Vie- toria Alexandria Dogmar of Wales was mar- ried to Alexander Willam George Duff, earl of Fife and Viscount Macduff. The wedding belis never ruug a merrier peal to Soglish cars than those of yesterday. The marriage had to the ma- tion that simple human interest which attashed to all marriages, strength- ened and deepened by the love and loyalty of a great people for the most popular prince and princess ever destined to rule the land. During bis many years experience of ‘‘that fieroe white light that beats upon a throne” the Prince of Wales has, day .by day, through his wisdom of action and simplicity of manner, guined a firmer and more lasting hold upon the affections of his subjects. WhHe in the mother country. through the world’s advance in civilization, monarchy has steadily grown older toward decay, it 18 to strike new and strong roots within this British realm. By his side has been a lovely woman, Nature made a sover- eign and nccident aqueen, to be with delicate beauty that seems proof against time. With a gracious charm no foe to thrones could possivly resist, with the radiating kiudness of a truly royal heart, this princess, this wife and this mother is more loyaly loved by England with every day of her Yesterday their faniily tics for the first time were sundered by marringe. A daugh ter wont forth w become a wife, and with the universal hope for the future happiness of the bride and with all good will towards the old home that she lcaves and the new home she will adorn, the British people wished their princess well, The marriage was in every way a wisoone. Five centurics of the best blood of Scotland should fivany mun to join the royal line. The ecclosiastical dignitaries at Buckingham pal- ace to-day not only wedded a princess and an hey also wodded a const'tution and u throne. The Hanoverian escutcheon nhas 8o long been absent from the royal arms that the wisdom of tue policy which no longer looks 10 foreign courts for bridegrooms is univer- sally endorsed. As the Conutess of Iife, Princess Louise will be one more band be- tween the people and their sovereign, one more factor in the natural unity which has always been England’s strength and pride, The morning was dull and cloudy, with a promise of rain. The royal stundard aboye Buckingham palace fiouted loyally in the light breeze. The promise of rain was 1ot fuifitied, howcver, and about noon the sun changad from au astronomical suspicion to a cheerful fact, though it did not shine very iong. Buckingham *paluce yard was brilliant with Life Guards’ uniforms aud the gorgeous liv- erics of pussing servants. The mall was densely crowded with people all about the gate, cager for a momentary view of royalty und tho royal guests, Piccadally was also crowded on both sides for miles. Large througs had guthered - about the Hyde park eatrance. Policemen on foot and mounted wero a8 numerous in all St. James district as blue bells ina German cornfield. The decora- tions were not generally in the streets, but nevertholess Buckingham palace road was brilliant with lines of flags. In Pall Mall, Piccadilly, Regent street &nd that vicinity many royal and loyal wradesmen dressed their builaings with red. All the balconies commanding @ view of Marlborough house were Jinod with ladios in bright costumes and gen- erally orilliaot holiday attire. At least fifteen thousand persous determined to sen the wedding procession, and accordingly burried early in tho day to form densely packed lines aloug the route from Marl- borough house to the palace. Two thousand poticomen kept the roadway open. The fronts of clubs and buildings facing Marlborough house gate and around the corner in St. Jumes streot were decorated with flags and royal red. Windows, bal- conies and house tops were uglow with smil- ine facos and variagated toilets. Dotach- mnents of richly uniformed horse guards gal- Joped upon their spirited black steeds and 100k thelr position, part at the end of Pali Mall and part in Marlborough yard, where also mauy spectators were thronged. Everybody was intonsely expectant and many women were unduly excited. A dozen or moro fainted und were with much trouble extri- cated from the jam. It wus ten minutes to 12 o'clock and ten minutes behind the programme time when the -gates opened and the start for Buckingham paluce was made. Seven roval und resplendant carriages, with nu- morously uniformed postitlions and an es- cort of horse guards, were required for the bridal party. Princesses Vietoria and Maude of Wales and their brothers, Prince Albert Victor aud Pringe George, oecupied the first, enrringe. Quickly following this came the princess of Wales and her brother, the crown prince of Denmark. As is al- Ways the case the people cheered bor. The queen’s carriage, in which rode tho Princo of Wales and Princess Louise, emgrged from the garden gaje instead of the exit, @8 did the others, The chief interest, of course, was mani- fostad in the appearunce of ’rincess Louise, the bride expectant, As she was recoguized the eatbusiasm of tho people broke into cheers and waving of haudkerchicfs as her carrlage proceeded along the densely pucked lines of people. In the other royal car- riages were the king of the Helleues and Tord Colville, of Cutress, Lady Ewily Kingscote, Lord Sufeld, Genoral Sirdm Probivi. Sir Francis Kuollys, Misy Kuolly - has palings of giit above. | wer Major General Arthur Ellis and Colonel Clark, most of whom are connected in an official way with the princess’ household. The procession proceeded to the palace by the mall and arrived a few minutes after 12 o'clock. The carriages passed through the mall and up the Buokingham palace road were filled with guests n all the shimmer of satin and the brightness of flow- ers common to the drawing room. They set down at the Pimlico entrance and re- ceived by gentlemen ushers in levee uniform, They were conducted by o rather devious route through the halls and corridors to the vestibule of the chapel, where thore was a small rush of very notable people, all nr- riving at about the same tims. The vesti- bule was banked on both sides with palms, hydrangess and arpanulaus, with a rich and and brilliant bed of white flowers below them. Among the first arrivals were Lord and Lady Randolph Churchill, and i this floral bower, with her clear bru tte com admirably set off by a dress of yellow satin and a large diamofld star shimmering above her forehead, Lady Churchill made a most striking feature Maria, Marchioness of Ailesburg, in royal purple ana velvet, arrived just after and then came Lord and Lady Wantago, the focmer wearing o general's uniform with muny medals. They had seats on the loft below the organ, and Lord and Lady Salis- bury also took seats on the left. Gladstone wore the uniform of an elder brother of Trinity house—dark blue, with epaulets, That portion of the chapel reserved for the guests filled rapidly. The Lord and Lady Avercorn, Lord and Lady Roseburry, Lady Speucer, the Duke and Duchess of Westimin- ister, the duke in scarlet uniform, with the Order of the Garter, and tho duchess in white brocade, with a diamond tiraca; Hon. Hy Matthews, home secretary, tho Duke aud Duchess of Argyle, tho duke wearing a kilt; the countess of Cadogan, the duke of St. Albaus, the dowarer duci- ess of Athole, the duke of Portland, the dowacer duchess of Roxburgh, the duke of Richmond and Lady Lenox. The royal chapel was rather a strange melange of colors and architecture. A deep red dado rises for ten feet atound the walls, and above this are panels of blue and gruy reaching to the ceiling, and narrow wings At each sido the roof is high and rectangu- lar, in small bluish gray squares, with pale blue squares insido them, each carrying a medallion of white. The room in its entire- ty, including the two wings and vestible, is only thirty by forty fect. The floor vroper is twenty by thirty feet, and was covered with a dark red This was thickly set with rod chairs with wuite and gold frames. Pine dark brown columns wero twined with ivy and water lilies for o third of their height. Between them hung warlands of pink roses. The organ loft on the left was undecorated, and sent a mass of ghttering vays from its gl carved front to tanzleup tho color in the scene. Light came Trom two rows of smail square win- dows just underneath the reof on each side, the glass being in white and ynllow squares with a wide border of bluo at each side. The pulpit ut the right, of tho altar was of yellowish grey caoved marble. There was ahuge bank of palms in the place usually ocoupiod by the clergymen. The pedestals of the colums was of dark yellow grained murble twined with ivy, and between them was a wide red cushion fronting the first tier of wide pews. A red prayer cushion was affixed to the back of the front row. The chancel was hardly big enough to comfortably hold the Xciating cleegyman. It is enclosed by a low rail of red satin, and Allivas magnifl cont inveds and crowns representing the baptisi of Christ by St. John. It was 8o claborate und so imposing that it lent a re- ligious fecling to tho picture which the blazo of color would otherwise have destroyed the gullery was undecorated save for a line of ivy along the front aud the queen's pevr. The others were occupied by the guests, her majesty sitting in the front row on tho left of the maiu floor, next to the altar rail Notwithstanding its small size, the chapel was not at all crowded, every seat having been marked on a plan, and every guest zon- ducted to Lis prearranged place, The choir, consisting of twelve girls and boys in white surplices, were grouped ut the left of the organ. A march specially composed be- gun to swell forth a few minutes after the appointed hour, and the Archbishop of Canterbury, bisop of London, dean of Windsor, and Rev. F. A. J. Hervey, were conducted to the altar. The clergy were in full robes of white and presented u strong color contrast to the elegant masses of color that had begun fo lighten up the gloom. They . also presented & rather peculiar feature in the shape of on their left breasts, Mr. Shore wearing two, the Archbishop of Cunterbury one, and the bishop of London one. Within the altar rail the Archbishon of Canterbury took his position on_ the left, the bishop of London on the right, and the others behind. In the meautime the royal family had been assembling in tho Bow library. The clergy had scarcely taken thir places when a flutter and a faiut hum announced the coming of the royal procession. It was led by the house- hold officials, ushers, equerries in waiting, and lords in waiting. Then came Princess Victor of Hohenlohe, Prince Victor of Hoheulohe, hereditury prince of Hohenlohe, Duke and Duchess of Teck, Prince Francis of Tock, Duke of Cambridge, Baron of Powelrammingen and Princess Fredericka, Prince Henry of Battenburg and Princess Beatrice, Princoss Lowse and the Marquis of Lorne, Prince and Princess Christian Victor and Albert of Schles- wig-Holsten; Prince George of Wales, Prioce Albert Victor of Wales, Crown Prince of Denmark, Princess of Wales, King of Greoece, Viscount Lewiso- haun, Viee Chumberlain Lord Montedgeumbe, lord jsteward, grand duke of Hesse, and flnally her majeaty, the queen. An ocoasionsl surch rotled out from the organ and ner majesty was conducted to oue of thu white and gold chairs ut the left of the altar with the Graad Duke of Hesso on her loft, a litile in front and the King of Greece boliind her, the princess sitting hind the Kiog of Greoes sad a litle to her right. ilor majcsty wore & dress of heavy black brocade, with siail white spots. She wore her usual whito cap with & small crown of diamonds above it. The Princess of Wales wore the most beautiful of all the dresses with which = the rose of Denmark has set the fashion for the world of women, It wae the most delicate aud delicious shado of siiver grey satin and brocade imaginable. The brocade was 4 runuing pattern of fow- ers wnd leaves, tho Howers much resembliug those of an Indian piok, and the long train wus perfectly plain. The white skirt was of grey satin duchess, with a tablier of grey tulle, emvroidered with silver and rivers of silver brocade, Just edged with a narrow sil- ibbou, @ bigh bodice, with a V-shaped Queling iu front, & bigh collar bebiud. Her OMAHA, royal highness has never been better suited in style and color. It was a Dublin dress, The scene now was a most brillimt one. All the men, with one or two exceptions in levee dress, were in uniforms of varions colors and much gold braids. The ladies’ dresses were magnificent, and diamonds in brooches, sprays, pendacts and tiaras sparkled evorywhere. The royal family ware in the pows at the right and left of the altar, an1 back of the group formed by her majesty and the Princes of Wales the gentlemen in waiting formed a brilliant semi-ciccle. The most conspicuous figure in all the brilliant picture was the queen's Indian attendant, standine biack and impassive behind her her chair in dark blue, with a gold-chased shoulder belt, white duck trousers and patent leather shoes. There ware soveral more in- dian attendants, Now comes the bridezroom, the Earlof Fife. He had been waiting in the new luncheon room with M. Hora'e Farquhar, his best man, and thither the vice chancellor went to bring him in. Ashe appeared in the vestibuleTannhauser's march began to sound , and husband-to-be walked dignifiedly up the narrow aisle. He isa tall and slenderly buily man of forty, of dark complexion, wizh dark hrown moustache. He wore the blus and white uniform of a colonel of tne First Bouft artillery. It is not a handsomo uniform, and Lord Fife would have boen handsomer in something else. He took his place at the right of the opening in the altar rail, and M. Farquhar, placiug himself on his right, was unfortunately put in a state of eclipse by the large alabaster pulpit. Lord Fife was no more nervous than bride- grooms are wont to be, but he was no less so. “The reputation naturel toso important an oc- casion did not leave him during the cere- wouy and he stood at a rather chilly distancs from the bride, whose responses were much more clearly audible than his, It was not until the ceremony had come to an end and the almost ccstatic oy of the queen over the ficst morriage among her grand- daughters had subsided, that the carl, now Duke of Fife, scomed quite at ease, Every- body was now in place except that most im- portant part of a wedding programme—the bride. Tne bridal party was assembied in the library. Eight beautiful bridesmaids, in exquisite dresses, awaited there for Princess Louise. They were in themselves a wedding innovation, due to the fact that two of them were sisters of the bride. It has been the custom hitherto in royal marriages that the bi shall have for her attendant maidens daughters of officers of England, two of them being princesses of the blood royal. On this vecasion all had to be princesses of the blood royal, and so it happened that they were Princess Maude, of Wales; Princess Victoria, of Waules; Princess Louise, of Schlesswig-Holstein Princess Victoria, of Schiesswig-Holstein ; Countess Fedora Sieichen ; Princess V Mury, of Treck; Countess Victoria Slei- chen and Countess Helena Sleichen. The bridesmaids were in beautiful gowns of pale pink Sicilidune and Chipa crepe. They were open in v-bucks and front and folds of srepe and sill, arranged to cross over the sleeves, came to the elbow and were finish with loops of crepe thut looked as if they would just cover the point. The skirts, thoush plain, were elegant, and contained rather more silk than crape. Each bridesmmd wore @ sngle row of peurls round her throat and a gold bracelet, with tte initials of the bride and bridegrogm in brilliants, with their re- spective coronets, These were the gift of Lord Fife. Each wore in her hair on the left side a spray of red rosebuds. The bridal party were escorted to the chapei by the vice chamberlain and lord steward. Princess Louise was on the arm of her father, the Prince of Wales, the bridesmaics following in the order named. Their coming was announced by the “Lohengrin” march on the organ, and just as it was swelling into the ensemble the prince and his daughter ,appeared at the door. The prince was in a field marshal’s ‘uniform of scharlet, with white gloves, All eyes, however, were turned upon the bride. She wore a very rich dress of white satin. The procession advanced up the aisle to the aitar rail. There the Prince of Wales 1eft his duughter and took a position on the left. the bride und bridegroom standiog in center, and the bride's maids in pairs behind. The Archbishop of Canterbury conducted the whole service, none of the: other clergymen assisting him. It was the usual marrige ceremony of the Anglican church, and lastea thirty-five minutes. A happy omen presently appeared in the shape of a flood of sunshine, bathing the bride and bridegroom and lighting and intensifying the combination of brilliant colors in the chapel. This camo just as the service began, The Prince of Wales gave away his daughter gonially and royally, and with the benedic- tion came a few moments of joyful excitement, which broke through the stiff- ness of the pompous ceremonial and showed that bearts beat quite as warmly under crowns and coronets as under fustian caps. Her mujesty the queen rose rather hastily considering her lamenoss aud kissed her newly married granddaughter on both checks. She turned to the Earl of Fife and extended him her hand to kiss, which he did beut on bis right knee. After that her wajesty shook hands with him. The Frin- cess of Wales also extended her hand, which Lord Fife also beut and kissed, und there were @ few moments of what in any other place than the royal chapel would have been cailed & huppy confusion. During this the bridal anthem was sung, and then to the music of Mendelssohn’s **Wedding March” the procession left the chupel. It wus headed by the bride and ridegroom, after whicn came the brides- maids and then her majesty, escorted by the grand duke of IHesse. Affer these came the suites aud guests, The bridal party the lower drawing room, where the register was signed by the bride aud groom, and wituessed by her maj- esty the queen and the Prince and Princess of Wules. It was duly attested by Secretary of State Matthews. Then the party pro- coeded up the grund staircase, and this was one of the most impressive pictures of the day, The magnificent, massive stairway, with its lines of heavy guilding, was a solid mans of dark green palws, firs, aud graceful leaves, banked in the recess on each side, From out the wall of dark green projected a fewshowylilics and a few slender and drooping tiger lilies, The majestic line of white dresses of the wedding party and the bril- liaut colors of the royal uniforms, all rising out of the comparative gloom of the first floor into the sunlight of the landing, with the glittering umiforms of the yeomen against the walls of the hall, forméd a his- torical picture that should make the court painter, if there is one, sigh ‘over his lost obportunity, e t— Boulanger Will Contest.

Loxpox, July 2i.—(New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bk,] we have not been dull in the. house for the past three nights, The members have not goue about the lobbies yawning their heads off and wondering why on earth they were ever such fools asto come to this place of torture. Besidos the speeghes in the house, wo have had all the fun of the fair in the lobby's gossip ubout 8o and s0's intention, irreverent sncers at the grand old man from the radicals, speculation as to what Lord Randolph meant to do, rumors of discontent at , high quarters at the uncertain and erratic course pursued by the ministery in reference to the royal grants, and all sorts of odds and ends such as are in brisk demand whenever a crisis is in the mr. To be sure this was not much of a crisis to boust of. The only incident of the least importance, outside of tho division, which was a certainty all the, way through was the new split in the radical varty. Mr. Labouchere, 1f he suacceded in noth- ing else, did certainly succeed in throwing the apple of discord among the regular lead- ers of the party, He set all the Gludstoni- ans by the ears and then mockingly congrat- ulated them upon their unity. Mr. Morley is against Gladstoue, Parnell votes for the government, Trevelyan goes contrary to Morley, mot that it two straws which way he 3 Dr. Tanner and Witliam O'Brien walk 10to the same lobby with- Balfour and tory “coercionists.”” Nobody knows where w0 find anybody else. Take the whole house, shake it up together and empty it out on the floor and you have the sort of class which prevailed last night. Well jpry the portly Menlistopheles be proud of his work. No doubt it is 'a fdet mot without significance that as i#any __as 116 members of the house ; voted against any further grants whatevde to the royal family. Explain it how yod may it 18 8 sign of the times which all concerned “would do well to reflect upon. To realize what it means it must ve remembered that the ad- verse vote was cast against the advice and even the entreaties of Glad- stone. It 18 said that the people do not care much about the issue. It may be so; personally I only received about hatf a dozen letters from my constituents, but they all asked me to vote against the grants. Perhaps it is because the real facts are not understood outside of the house. Whatever may be the cause, it is cortain that the pressure brought to baarupon the mombers has all been hostile to them. It was time that something like floaliy was arrived at in these matters. Tt is to believe the whisper that is going around in very select circles asto the pain and mortification which the pecent proceed- ings have inflicted upon the Prince of Wales. Ho has tried vory hard to do his duty and he might have thought that a little generous consideration. would have been snown him on the occasipu of the first mar- ringe in his family, The Jangle in parlia- ment over the small sum asked for his daughter almost mmngled with the sound of the wedding bells. No ordinary man of feeling could fail to beaffected by the bitterness which bas been shown, Still all the foremost mon of the time have stood out resolutely for the crown. The royal faniily are never likely to be left alone whenover, if ever, the day of trial comes. On Monday the contest is to be renewed, for the money has not yet been voted. There has been only & prelimmary skirmish, but what remains must be a mere idle show and waste of time. 1t is a pity for the sake of Mr. Morloy's re- putation that he has consented to play the somewhat ludicrous part which the fear of losing his seat induced: him to take up. He agreed to the proposed grant in committee and ran away from it at the first growl that reaches him from his constituents. And yet a sturdy conscience and rigid consistency are supposed to be his great poluts, sud that he would do what he believes to be right though tho heavens fall, Tho heavens may fall, but let his constitucnts frown und his courage and his conscience both melt away, An evening aper over which'he' still possesses influence says that his‘ proper name is ““Honest John.” One staspeets very much from more than one passage in his caceer that “Honest John" would beull the better for stiffer backbone. He wilts at a mo- mont's notice. In committesbe voted for a grant which ou Monday he is going to ask the house to reject. We hawe the assurance of Mr. Gladstone, and ef the govern- ment, of Lord Hamisgton and of all the responsible © men of the day thut no more grants ‘shsil be applied to the present reign. ‘That wasull Mr. Morley asked for. He has got'it, mnd still he is afraid to do what a week ago he practically declared to be right, Heis going to renew 4 debate which 18 virtually dead. No man could do it successfully, Mr. Morley, all things considered, 18 about the very last man who should try such an experiment. There is one thing about the royal wed- ding which you may-or may not be aware of. The aristocrats are not all pleased with it. The very thing which delights the people gonerally, namely that Princess Louise, of Wales, has married & subject and not a *lit- tlo German' is regarded with jealous eyes by the upver classes. - No doubt one of the queen’s daughters Bad already married a subject, but sbe . was Bes in the direct line of succession, and the chilldren of Princess Louise way be.

There might have been something in this cry a hundred or two hundred years ago, but it comes a little late in the day now. The mystery of monarcliy has not been ablo to survivo the democratic shocks of the last fifty years. The princelings who marry British gold haue not contributed much to the awe that surrounds royal caste. English poople, s a rule, would rather seo the daughter of tho Prince of Wales given to & native nooleman of ancient lineage than to another Batten- berg. Whether the aristocracy like it or not it does not much matter. “We shall have some of them marrying Americans for thoir gold," said a horoified person to me the other day. Well, why not!

KUHN'S MURDER Three Mon Arrested and One of Them Maikes a Confession. LCopyrighted 1859 by James Gordon Bennett,] Paiis, July 27.—|New York Horald Cable —Special to Tne Bek|—The Herald has recounted 1n-detail how, on the night of July 15, Mme. Kuhn, concierge of a house n the ltue Bouaparte, was murdered by three persons whom tho police found it impossible 0 lay their nands on Gordon, chicf of de- tectives, on whom the Herald correspondent called on F¥iduy, sadly acknowledged that he had not a single clue, but was hopeful. Gordon's predictions have been realized, and the murderers ure to-day under lock and key. The story of how this has been arrived at. in interesting as showing the method of the department over which Gordon reigns. For several days the chief detectives had reason to believe that the Rue Bonaparte murderers inhabited the Moupornesse quarter and con- sequently directed their researches in that district. Detectives Salville and Guy were instructed to scour all the wineshops where criminals congrogate and a number of de- coys were told oft to prevail upon some one or other connected with the murder to peach. One of the decoys brought to the chief a piece of information which at first sight scemed too strange to be truc. This wi that he had obtained from one of the prin- civals of the murder a confidential uccount of how the crime had been committed and who had been his accomplices. Although it scemed likely that that the decoy had been hoaxed by some practical joker, Gordon decided to follow up the informution on o chance of its amounting to something. He detailed In spectors Gaillarde, Soudaise and Boucrlet totrack the individuals whom the decoy asserted to be the persons whom the police wanted. The inspectors quickly ascertained that two of the presumed murderers were ata. public ball. Policemen in plain clothes were posted at the doors, and when, about 12 o'clock, the persons wanted made their exit, they were collared aud conducted to the station. Hourie Ribox and Alvert Ceau- troux, who has the additional appellation of the “Sardine,” are theirnames. Though only wwenty-one and eighteen respectively, they are personages of no mean importance in the criminal world, having been condemned for one crime or another six times, Meanwhile Inspector Gaillarde and Bouer- let were keeping watch on the Rue Cam- pagne, where Pillot, another of the pre- eumed murderers, resided with his mother, o widow who earns her bread by selling milk. Midnight passed, 1 o'clock also, but still the bird would not fly into the net. It was nearly 2 o'clock in the morning ere Pil- let sought his pillow. When a detective cntered the apartment and arrested Pillet his mother made a ges- ture which caused tho inspoc- tors to fancy they weroc to be sub- jected ton scene of maternal despair, It was, however, from fcelings of an entirely different nature. The gaod woman was overjoyed to sce her son arrested, “Mossieurs, take him; take him away; never let me sce his face again,” she cricd, and went on to tell the policemen how her son wasa bad man, bow he treated her in the most unnatural manner, beating her every day. Mme. Pilet's recollections of her son’s treatment were recent enough to justify her rancour. Yesterday, eve told tiie detectives, he beat her bluck and blue. A physioguomist would have been completely ~ deceived in Pillet, who is only seventeen years of age, and whose features are reully 50 childlike that ho looks as if he would not hurt even a mouse. When the prisoners were brought together in the gray dawn at Surete, a man named Behme, nicknamed “La Terrasse de Mont- martre,” who is allezed to huve been an ac- cessory before the fact but does not seem to have assisted in the murder, identified them, All protested that they werc as innocent as babes unvorn. Gordon summoned Watch- maker Oulie, and Mme, Vincent, who de- clared they hud scen the murderers, and or- dered the prisoners to be brought before them. Both Oulie and Mme. Vincent us- serted thatthe prisoners woere not the men they hud seen at the ume of the murder, but alittle later m the day Pillet madea full confession. The others flew into a rage on heariug this, but persisted in denial, e . A TRIBUTE 10 BOULA! His Successor Says He Cond War Office Economically.

That was the last seen of him alive, The family did not bocoms alarmed until after night, and then prosecuted their soarch quietly until yesterday, when notice was given to the police, During the day yester- day blood was discovered opposite the doc- tor's stablo, on Cemetery street, which was tracked two or three squares to the junction of Cypress stroot and I'rancis lane, where, on the grass, was quite a pool of blood. It was here, in the munhole of tho sewer, that the body was found this morning. It was wrapped in a horse blanlket, or rather sewea up. It was found that the doctor’s gold watch and money were gone. Robbery must have been the motive for tne murder, a8 the doctor hiad not an enemy in the world. There is but one wound, whicl is upon the back part of the head. The theory now prevalent is that the murder was committed by Charles Bligh, a colored hostle When Bligh loft last night ho said he would return this morning, but he has not yet been found. Ahocin the stable bears marks which are pronounced to be blood stains, Andrew Hudson, colored, had formerly worked for Colonel Jones, and Richard Lee, colored, also u former employe, were ar- rested this afternoon on suspicion, but told such straightforward stories that the police Iater released them. Frank Bufort, a brick- layer, in whose house Bligh and his wife bourded, was examined by the police and stated that Blizh treated him to arinks last night 1n a saloon.

While waiting to obtain and furnish an apartment of his own, he hired, through John Arthur, a furnished apartmentin Ave- nue Kleber av a monthly rental of 1,800 francs. His last month expired July 1, bat he surrendered possession June 15, his own apartment in Avenue Demessine being ready, The landlord, after verifying the in- ventory, made out a formidable list of dam- ages, but setting no bill on their cost. Hoil moved and when, on July 4, he received a bill amouuting to over 700 francs, his agent offered 850 francs, which, in his opiuion, was sufticient. The landiord refused to nccept this sum, and said that besides damages he should hold Boil responsible for rent until the bill was paid. Heuce action was brought before Judge De Paix, of the ariswcratic Porsy district. The laudlord’s-agent stated that Boil had left & piano in the apartment and could not be said to have given up possession, but Marmottan, Boil's lawyer, expluined that the piano had been hired from Krarad’s and after, and besides wus not an obstacle to the letting of the apartments, The judge read the list of damages, which includes chairs and sauce pans, which, according to tho landlord, had disappeared.

The news of the czar's assent to the pro- posal that he shall visit the court on August 23, was received at the foreign office Mon- day, causing the ereatest satisfaction. Bis- marck immediately communicated with Count Kalnoky, calling attention to the opportunity presented by the nearly coin- cident visits of tho czar and Emperor Fraucis Joseph and proposing that an inter- view bo held batween the thros monarchs as well us & confarence botweon himself, Count Kalnoky and M. DeGiers, the object being to ssipate all misunderstandings. The oficials here have been instructed to maintain wvso- lute silence. The semi-oficial press hus been similarly directed on the ground that criticism might altec the present. favorable disposition of the czar. ONicinl circles in Vienna are less observant of secresy, and discuss the chances of the intery Count Kaluoky, it 18 stated, has placed imself in Bismarck’s hands, but refuses to make any overtures to the 4 regurding the meeting with Emperor, cis goseph, 1 Princo Bismarck perbu the czar to consent to the interviow, the Ange trinn emperor will postpone his coming until the 15th.

Ho has & foothold for a renewed ontente cordiale in the czar’s increased hatred for the anarche ists. The recent communications with St, Potersburg regarding the plotting of refugees in Switzerland leading to a common pressurc upon the Swiss government afforded basis for concerted uction by the three powers against the socialists, an- archists and ninilists. A definite unders standing as to this sphere of action ' would tend to modify the existing enmities, The Kreuz Zeitung has semi-oflicial ade es from St. Petersburg saying: “Tho who has frequently altered his inten- tions regarding the return of the visit of Emperor William, hns now assented under the persistent entreaties of M. DeGiors and M. Vischnegradski. He will be accompanied to Berlin by the empross and the whole im- perial family. The party will proceed to Copenhagen after leaving Berlin.” The Novoe Vremya declares the czar goes to Berlin simoly as an act of ‘courtesy, und that s visit will have no bearing upon tho Iuropean situation unless Garmany chauges her policy by consenting to satisfy tho legitimate aspirations of Russia. Emperor William arrived atWillimashaven this morning. Soon after he ordered the admiralty to report on the arrest of ofiicials in connection with the naval frauds.

It is stated that he was found bloeding o death in his cell, having opsned the veins in his arm, und that he died while being taken to the hospital. The Freissignce Zeitung fne nounces the arrest of the chief comptroller of the Kirl workshops, and of a prominent mer- chaut of Mincer, who for muny years-has been supplying tho stores for the Kirl and Wilhelmshaven stations.
