TWENTIETH STAVLEY-TENSANT NUPTIALS Westminster Abbey Compelled to Put Out Her “Standing Room” Sign.

Bennett) Loxpoy, July 12—(New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bre.]~Henry Morton Stanley and Dorothy Tennant were married at Westminster abbey today in presence of a company representative of all that ismost distinguished in Euglish society ot often has Westminster abbey been more densely thronged, and not often have approaches to 1t been so packed with people s ‘was the case today. The admission to the abbey was by ticket, yet in spite of the care that was taken to limit the number of gucsts to less than the acity of the choir stalls, there were many ticket holders who were glad to find even standing room long before the time set for the wedding had arrived, The scene in the abley was of a character entire sui s to the occasion. Havd-hearted as the rain had been for weeks, it had too fine a sense of propricty to fall this afternoon fellon afew who formed the advance guards and sy ors who secured advantageous po- sitions in Parliament square as carly as 10 o’clock in the moruing, but upon the thou- sands who soon followed the early birds it did not full, and the vast assemblage tied to devote all their time, ngenuity to watching th » doubtless looked upon among the onesof carth,t they possessed the open sesame to Westminster abbey on the day when it was accessible to the publie. It was slow work reaching the abbey, for the crowd so denso that only @ single line of carri: rould make headway, and then only foot by foot, even with theaidof the police, for a time. The great part of the crowd wasted its en gles, but finally discoyered guests were to enter the ub at the main entrance, but by way of the Dean's yard, K two hours asteady stream of vehicles—n all them admir appointed, with co men and footmen wearing immense wedding yrs—poured into the dean's yard. oy guests then mude their through clus! of the old to The crowd was very k a glimpse of Stanley or Miss nant. The former did not sscape unnoticed, but Miss Tennant escaped the cheers until she was no longer Miss Tennant, Inside the abbey, long before 2 o'clock, there was a dis- tinguished company. The fair s was largely in the ascendant, therefore the scene was full of color and animation, England’s gardens must have been robbed to provide the bouquets that met theeye at every turn. Through the hum of eager, though low- toued conversation, all eyes were turned to the point at which it was expected Stanley would appear. Many a glance lingered over the square of gold clothand a magnificent floral tribute sent by Stauley that marked the grave of Doctor Livingstone, Miss "Cen- nant came carly, She « Wl an immens Bouquet and sat in oneof theseats next to the entrance of the chancel. In the next seat was Baroness Burdette Coutts and Sir Willlam Mackinnon, Bu-r dettte Coutts was satisfied to walke about and chat with friends, With Miss Tennant were Mr. and Mrs. Bruce of Edinburgh. M Bruce was the favorite daughter of Dr. Liv- jogstone, Within & fow seats of them sat the widow of Dr i tone's son who died only Near their mother sat Mus, Tennant's two daughters and Mr. and Mrs. M. French Sheldon, ond not far from them sat Mr. and Mr Gladstone, It would takea page to enumer- ate the names of all those in the Abb The American minister to London and the se \._uu_» of the legzation were among the audience. As Stanley entered the abbey bridal music from Lohengrin was played. Stanley was conducted to a seat under the laatern by his future brotherin-law., The great explorer was accompanicd by M. De Comte De Aroche, who had been sent to represent the King of Belgium, Mr, Jeppson, Captain Nelson, Licutenant Stairs, Mr. Bonney and Hy, his black man, who wore his fez. Stan- looked very worn und weak. He walked with difficulty and used a cane. He bowed in response to the salutation of several friends. It had been feared Friday night that his physical condition would not permit him to leave his rooms. He said there should be no postponement of the wedding if he could avoid it, and he man- aged it, though only after a severe strugglo. He arrived ten minutes before 2 o'clock, and after his arrival the minutes passed so slowly that the impression became quite general that Miss Tennant would be late, But Miss Tennant was not late, arvived two minutes before the the wedding. She entered by the west door, which only opened for the entrance and exit of royarty and brides. Miss Tennant was ac- companied by her br Charles C. Ten- nant, who gave heraway, ar 1 followed by her twobridesmaids, Miss S, s her nicee, and Miss Brenda ®inley, Both were mites and were dressed in white satin slips, with white crepe lisse overskirts, They wore wreaths and carried bouquets of white pmatis, THe bride's train was borne by two pages, The bride walked to her place beneath the tower with quick steps and erect Shelooked stately in a white silk dr as was worn in days ot Tudors, The seams were sewn with pearls ond the satin frout was embrowered with pearls. Her high embroidered collar was cut low in front. She wore a magnifi- cent diamond necklace, the gift of Sir Wil liam McKinnon, and from this hung a minia- ture of the Queen set in brilliwnts, the gitt of her ma; Sprays of orange blossoms ornamented the leftside of her dress, As Miss Tennunt approached Mr. Stanley rose and walked toward her, turning as she arrived withina fow feetof the chancelsteps, ‘where the officiating clergy were standing. Stanley stood with bowed head, but Miss Tenant presorved an erect attitude and looked almost head taller than the groom. He kept his eyes either on the officiating clergyman or on the fioor, and his rtesponses were made in & very low tone. The bride's eyes were some- times on the clergyman, sometimes on her mother and sometimes on Stanley. Her voice was strong and clear as she made the necessary responses, At _he close of the muringe service and before the address W made by the master of Trinity the ohoir sang an authem, The address having been delivered, the choir sang a warriage hymn, The final blessing was then given and Mr, vicinity of the was on - ¥ in fact, she hour set for Y EAR. and Mrs, Stanloy p | chamber and sig contract.

W. ut and A, Bruce, The mar s ceremony occupled twenty- five minutes, yet almost double that length of time was spent by Mr, and Mrs, Stanley in reaching Richmond Terrace, though only half a mile away, An immense crowd awaited the appearance of the bride and groom, aud their progress, if slow, was rather inspiring, for the cheering was as hearty as continuous, At Richmond Terrace, the old home of the bride, Mrs. Ten- nant gave a reception and garden ps To reach Richmond Terrace was just as difficult asit had been to get intoand out of West- minster abbey, and the most strenuous efforts of a large body of police were needed to keop the narrow path open. The house and grounds were crowded at 4 0'clock. When Stanley fiest saw the wedding pres- ents he walked about the room slowly, lean- ing heavily or 0. t tired and weak as he evidentiy was, he could not avoid showing strong interest in the magnificent mementoes that had been lavished upon himand his bride.

THE PROSPECTS OF PEACE IN EUROPE. Ofticial Confilence Remains Strong in Spite Its Doubtful Character ~dhe Czar's Advisors In sist on War, [Copyright 1890 by the New York Associated Press.) Brruiy, July 12 —BEmperor William, on arriving at Fide, Thuresday, sent a dispatch to Chancellor Capriv: mouncing his inten- tion to shorten his voyage and return to Kiel July The gravity of the situation in tne Balkans, the increased prospect of trouble with France and the English agreement makes necessaty the emperor's presence and keeps both the chancellor and Minister Miguel from taking a holiday. Although the prospects of permanent peaco in Europe begin to appear doubtful, oficial confidence remains strong, Even the proba- ble abdication of Prince Ferdinand with a subsequent revolution in Bulgaria will not be allowed to involve an immediate uropean war, The maintenance of peace, according to an ofticial view, is certain until after the conference between Emperor William and the czar, when the resources of diplomacy will be exhausted in a final effort to harmonize Austrian and Russian relations in the Balkan peninsular, The Russian newspapers—the Novoe Vremya, the Novosti and Eviedomosti voncur in the hopeful view that Emperor William, freed from the tutelage of Prince Bisma will succced in his efforts to effect an amicable arrangement with the Czar. Oficial opinion her based oon the known fact that Emperor William has definite proposals to lay before the czar, is also hopeful, T czar has as yet given no sign of how he will receive them, The Berliner Tageblatt has a telegram from Rome which purports to give inform: tion drawn from Prime Minister Crispi. In this it asserted that the czar's advisers, con- sidering the time opportune, insist upon w The chiefs of the dreibund, the telegram adds, will make united efforts to maintain peace, M. de rs, the Russian minister of for- eign affairs, is now making a tour of Finland. He will return to St. Petersburg to assist in the imperial interviews, Count Schouvalofl, the Russian ammbas- sador to Germany, will leave here for St. Petersburg at the end of the month for the same pucpose, ‘The exact date of these mo- mentous interviews has not yet been fixed, but they will probably begin on August 17, A fresh dificulty has avisen in France over the fifth article of the convention, which af- firms the reciprocal regime of Germany and England within the territories between the Benueriverand Lake Tehad. The article aid notappear in the first published draft of the convention and since the official text has been issued the French go nment has discovered that the article is an inter- ference with the French claim to the upper Niger, besides leading to the future exten- sion of the Anglo-German spheres of influence from the Niger to the Nile, If M. Ribot con- tinues to muke the recognition of the French claims in the Niger district the object of the withdrawal of his opposition to the Zanzibar protectorate an amicable settlement is im- probable. Phelps, American minister, has reccived from Harburg a copy of the petition which has been sent to Chancellor von Caprivi and which bears the signatures of various steam- ship companics and leading firms and corpo- rations. The petitioners ask for the rescind- ing of the prohibition against American pork. They urge that Germany cannot pro- duce enough pork to satisfy her own wants. The price of pork has risen so enormously that poor people cannot buy it. The whole- sule price of German salted bacon is 130 marks per 100 kilograms, while Ame can bacon can pay a duty and bo sold at marks, Pork imported from neighboring states, although bringing high prices, is not as good us the American article, When pro- hibition was enacted there was no official ex- amination of pork in Amevica, while the United States government is now ready to make whatever inspection Germany may ask. When American pork was allowed to enter the coun~ try wo cases of illiess were ever adduced to its use. If the American inspec tion should be insufficient there could be one made in Germany as well, Ofticial fecling against Prince Bismarck has been heightened since the report of the interview appearcd in the Frankfort Journal, Even his friends admit that he has been indiscreet in the revelation of knowledze obtained by him while in ofice. I 8 nts that the em- peror's labor programme as originally sketched was much more extravagant than us issued, and that his majesty supposed the programme would tell that elections have in- censed Chancellor von Caprivi and other ministers, and it is considered that certain of the statements will lead to energetic remon- strances on the return of Emperor William, The Hamburger Nachricten tonight in an article inspired by Prince I narck disputes the ne ty foran immediate decision by the reichstag or the landtag regarding the future position of Heligoland and says that the island, while at present a British colony, will be hailed as such to Germany and will thus fall within the category German colonies aud be placed under imperial administration without the n sity of making it a portion of the empire, The constitutional requirements, the paper says, would befulfilled if the British governor be replaced by a German and the affairs of the island be administered by the colonial de- partment, The article aims to embarrass the government in its project of making the island an out-work of the empive. [t is assured that the English parliament will assent tothe cession of the island. Chan- cellor von aprivi - has arranged with Lord Salisbury to have the German flag hoisted on the island in the presence of a ficet commanded by the duke of Edinburgh and a squadron escorting Emperor William, This ceremony will take plac ime in September, Minister Boetticher has al. ready been instructed to go to Heligoland in August to Arrange for the in- stallation of the German administration, of which Councillor Wemuth has been ap- pointed provisional chief. These arrang ments, if carried into effect, will make He igolaud a partof the empire before the relchs- tag resumes its sittings, The refusalof the ex-chancellor to accept the conditions offered bhim for a seat in the reichstag |is now known to be due to his desire to obtain a seat in the bundesrath as a representative of minor state with a free haud to operate in the reichstig The attackof asthma from which Baron Wissmann is suffering is wssuming @ more aggravated form. of the PRINCE BISMARCK, The Iron Chancellor Speaks Nicely to a German Jonraalist, [Copyright 1500 by James Gordon Rennett.] Beruy, July 12.—[New York Herald Cable—~Special to Tug Bee.]—Herr Julius Ritterhaus of the Frankforter Journal publi- cation had an interview with Bismarck whom he visited at Fricdrich&rube.

It would give ty additional currency of motuland cqu er for the use of business, r. Sherman of Orogon said he favored the bill, although it did not contain the fullest recognition of the equality of gold and silver as money motals, It was a concession on both sides of the question. It was a vi tovy for the popular demand and it was along step toward free coinage. He had no doubt that after the fall elections there would be a strong representation here on o line of froe coinage. He congratulated the people he represented that such an advance has been made in establishing an equality between the two great money metals of the world. Bland of Missouri concurred with the gentleman in hoping that the next house would a free coinage house, but that the house would be composed of those who advocated froe coinage and stood by their colors. It would not be composed of the republican party, which by gag rule had voted down and and stifled free coinage. If free coinage came at all it would come from that party which had stood firm to the flag of free coinage and which had not surrendered its principal at the beck of Wall street. He denied that the bill was the result of a free and fair confer- ence, It was the result of se republican conferees, He, a Jknown nothing of the measure until it was framed and the report was to be signed. The democratic members had been ignored in the preparation of the bill, The bill was one which practically demonetized sil- ver. It surrendered every principle of bimetallism; it surrenderod free coinage; it made a combination with the bullion speculators of Wall street. In the interest of Wall strect it departed from a legal ratio and changed that ratio from 16 to 11020 tol. The change of ratio was to pile up so much capital in the treasury at the expense of the people and in the interest of Wall street and the bullion owne and he denounced it as a fiaud and a cheat on the people, who had demanded a ratio of 16 to 1.

Ho quoted from a speech of Daniel Webster to the effect that the suceess of the American merchant marine had como mot from protection or bounty, but from skill, perseverance and economy He showed how fc ubsidies had ended in failure and scandal and summed up the whole question by reading an extract from a speech of Representative Cannon, showing the expenditure of over $21,000,000 in sub- sidies between 1835 and 1 and asserting that §7,000,000 would buy all the American- steamships then afloat.
