MARLBOROUGH HONORED The “Ducal Emblem” Floated From the Flagpole of the Plaza Hotel. NEW YORKERS MUCH AMUSED. All the Preparations Completed for the Dazzling Vanderbilt Wedding. | | heirloom—and orange - blossoms. IW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 5—William | K. Vanderbilt, hisdaughter, Miss Consuelo | Vanderbilt, and the Duke of Marlborough | met at the home of Mrs. Vanderbilt, at 24 West Seventy-second street, this morning, | and signed the papers affecting the mar- | riage settlements. Mrs. Vanderbilt was | not present. ! Mr. Vanderbilt drove to the house with | his lawyer, J. Henry Anderson. A few| minutes later the Duke arrived with} solicitor, Milward Harding.

The bride wore an ivory satin dress trimmed with Venice point lace—a family The bridesmaids were all in pale pink and yellow, trimmed with silver and brown fur. They were the Countess Laure Foras, Countess Alix Foras, Princess Helen Brancovan and Mlle. Demaistre. The bride’s mother wore a black velvet Elizabethan costume trimmed with Venice point. The bride’s sister, Mrs. Spencer, wore dark blue velvet with a rococo Louis XV gilet. After the ceremony about 800 guests, the cream of Paris society, attended a re- ception given by Mrs. Kead at her resi- dence. T0 BE ARBITRATED. But Venezuela Will Yield Many Points to England. CARACAS, VENEZUELA, Nov. 5.—Impor- tant telegrams received by the Govern- ment from England and the United States yesterday resulted in President Crespo summoning a meeting of the Cabinet and the principal advisers, which lasted over three hours and was most secret. This morning a lengthy cipher cable was sent to Wasnington and orders were issued by the War Department to suspend sending troops to the Cuyuni. Allefforts to obtain the result of the conference unavail. In- quiries in Government circles were an- ered that nothing is yet ready for pub- lication. Rumors are current that assur- ances have been received that the ques- tions pending between Venezuela and England will be submitted to arbitration, but owing to the opposition to Crespo the arbitration will be a farce, and the deci- sion, while fayorable in a few minor points to Venezuela, will give England many ad- vantages, though by no means all she asked. TEWFIK PASHA'S MISSION, Was Unable to Secure the Sup- port of Germany for Turkey. Then the Embassador Departed Hur- riedly Without the Usual Offi- cial Courtesies. BERLIN, GerMaNY, Nov. 5.—The fol- lowing story which has just leaked out has caused a great sensation in diplo- matic circles in Berlin. Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish Embassador, last Saturday aiter- noon haa a prolonged interview which he himself had especially requested with Chancellor von Hohenlohe. When the Embassador left the Chancellor's pres- ence he appeared to be greatly alarmed. He immediately proceeded to his embassy, whence he sent Rifat Bey, counselor to The service was full choral and | streets clear and to hold the crowd back | the Turkish embassy, to obtain from the | from the church entrances. © persons | will be allowed in the church except those | who have tickets.

Y., Nov. 5—All New York is laughing in its sleeves at the management of the Plaza Hotel for hoist- ing on the hotel flagpole a ducal flag in honor of the Duke of Marlborough, who takes his meals and sleeps there. The | ducal emblem is a white flag bearing the | Marlborough crest inred and darx blue, 1 the Churehill colors. The crest is a blue lion couchant holding a small flag bearing a minute white coronet and a phenix rampant. A red ducal coronet surmounts | both devices. An American flag floats on the pole beside the ducal banuer, but the | latter has the place of honor. Manager | Hammond states that the Duke's permis- on to hoist the flag was not askea, “but,”” | he adds, ‘‘as long as he is our guest and | we pay our rent I suppose we are at liberty | to do so.” The marriage settlements were signed to- | day at Mrs, Vanderbilt's residence. Wil- liam K. Vanderbilt, Miss Vanderbilt and the Duke were present. Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt did not attend. The sum of $5,000,000 is settled on the future Duchess. All the preparations for the wedding in St. Thomas’ Church are completed. The mar- riage ceremony has been rehearsed by the bride and attendants without the Duke. The church doors open at 10. . M. and musical service lasts till noon, the hour of the wedding. One hundred and fifty men began at 6o'clock to-night to complete the elaborate floral decorations. They will work all night. No invitations have been sent to the Vanderbilt family. Even Chauncey M, Depew has been overlooked, but William K. Vanderbilt, however, will pive his daughter away in church. Mrs, William K. Vanderbilt pays for the break- fast, floral decorations and music, and William K. Vanderbilt for all the rest, even the bride’s trousseau. Fine weather is promised for to-morrow, and an immense crowd of curiosity-seekers will be on hand. L Sgmuni THIS ONE WAS IN PARIS. Marriage of Miss Marie Delphine Read to Count Max Foras. PARIS, Fraxce, Nov. 5—The religious ceremony of the marriage of Marie Del- phine, daughter of General J. Meredith Read, formerly United States Minister to Greece, to Count Max Foras took place to-day in the Church of St. Philippe du Roule. This was the first occasion for the reassembling of the fashionable population of Paris at the beginning of the season. The church was browdec, the entire diplo- matic corps and all of the titled and tal- mted world of Paris being in attendance. Among those present were the Princess Brancovan, Hon. Samuel F. Morse, United 3tates Consul-General, and Mrs. Morse; Henry Vignaud, First Secretary of the United States Embassy; Lieutenant-Com- mander Rodgers, naval attache of the United States Embassy, and Mrs. Rodgers; General Winslow and wife, Mrs. Cecelia ‘Wentworth, Paul Bartlett and wife, John Munroe and wife, Augustin Lee and wife and Mr. Vanburgen and wife. Among the other guests in the church were noticed Prince Roland Bonaparte; H. Delyannis, Greek Minister, and Mrs. Deiyannis; Henri Houssaye, member of the Academy; Countand Countess Mont- saulnin, Mrs. Ayer and Mr., Mrs. ana Miss Halstead. Abbe de Gibergues gave the nuptual Austrian embassy a pass through Austria to be used the same evening. That evening the Turkish Embassador left Berlin without paying the visits which are usually made by a foreign diplomat re- ceiving his conge, and without notifying the Reichsanzeiger or the official news- papers of his departure. A meeting of the Cabinet was hastily | summonéd on Sunday, over which Prince Hohenlohe presided. The meeting lasted several hours. It is reported that the Turkish Embassador told Prince Hohen- lohe that unless the pressure which Eng- land is exerting over Turkey was relaxed | the Sultan’s Government might become a victim to domestic revolution. The report further says that the Embassador begged Prince Hohenlohe for assurance that Ger- many would not side with England in driving the Sultan into a dangerous road. Prince Hohenlohe was unable to satisfy the Embassador, whereupon the latter left Berlin abruptly. Just before leaving he informed the pro- prietor of Embassadorian Hotel, where he was living, that he did notintend to re- turn to Berlin for a long time and nomi- nated Rifat Bey Charge d’Affaires in his absence. Itis reported that the Cabinet council on Sunday discussed the Turkish question exhaustively and finally referred the matter to the Kaiser for his decision. — - AMERICANS IN DANGER. Missionaries at Bitlis Take Refuge in a Single Hou LONDON, ExG., Nov. 5.—The Chronicle will to-morrow publish a dispatch from | | | Constantinople saying that the Americans | at Bitlis, after telegraphing to the Ameri- can Minister for protection, again tele- | grapled that they were all living together. This is understood to mean that the wife and children of Mr. Cole, who is disburs- ing relief in Sassoun, took refuge in Mr, Knapp’s bouse during the massacres. The dispatch adds that the Mudir of Moosh re- quested Mr. Hampson, the British Consul, tQ stop Messrs. Cole and Reynolds from distributing the fund for the relief of the Armenians. S T Sentence of Smugglers. ST. JOHNS, N. F., Nov. 5.—Judge Con- roy, a city Magistrate, delivered judgment to-day against five saloon-keepers involved in the smuggling scandals. He sentenced them to varying terms of imprisonment and to pay fines of from $100 to each. Among them is Michael Tobin, senior Government member of the Legislative Assembly for the Placentia district and one of the governors of the Savings Bank. - Marguis De Nayve Aoquitted. PARIS, Fraxce, Nov. 5.—The sensa- tional trial of the Marquis De Nayve, who was accused of having murdered, in 1885, the illegitimate son of his wife by throw- in%him from the cliffs between Sorrento and Castellamare, Italy, ended to-day in the acquittal of the prisoner. The trial lasted six days. Aok o - Spread of a Rebellion. ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Nov. 5.— A dispatch received here shows that the Dungan rebellion in Northwestern China is rapidly spreading. The whole province of Kan-Su is affected. The Government has appointed Viceroy Li Hung Chang an Imperial Commissioner Extraordinary, with powers to quell the rebellion. profie e s Big Shipbuilders’ Lockout. GLASGOW, Ecorraxp, Nov. 5. — The Clyde shipbuilders began their promised lockout to-day by paying off and suspend- ing 25 per cent of their workmen. The Clyde builders are acting in harmony with the Beifast shipbuilders whose employes are on strike. i The Ship Is Breaking Up. LONDON, Ex6., Nov. 5.—The American ship Granite State, Captain Fulton, which struck on Rundlestone Rocks near Pen- zance yesterday and was beached at Port Curro Bay to prevent her from foundering, is breaking up. The weather is so bad that the work of salvage cannot be carried on, St g Recall of Tewfik Pasha.

At Present There Is Not the Slightest Check on the Rail- road Grants. EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION. An Official of the Land Office Resigned His Position to Assist the Corporation. WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 5.—Secre- tary of the Interior Hoke Smith by a de- cision handed down to-day says plainly that California miners have nothing to hope for against the ravages of the South- ern Pacific Railroad. His decision can only be interpreted in one way. He will allow the railroad to continue to deprive miners of their mineral lands. Southern California miners filed a pro- test against the selection of mineral land by the railroad. This protest Secretary Smith to-day dismissed, saying that the present mode of railroad selections is all right in the absence of any other law and that only *‘occasionally’” is the land se- lected mineral in character. He says that these lands from whieh railroad selections are made are so situated that their mineral or non-mineral character is well known, or if not known is easily ascertained. He says the fact that Congress refusea to apply to California the Montana-Idabo law, which provides for a Government commission to define and classify mineral lands, is proof presumptive that such a law was not needed, in the opinion of Congress, and therefore in the ahsence of sucb stat- ute he is powerless to proceed in any other manner than is now employed. This is equivalent to saying that he will continue to patent mineral lands to the railroad un- til Congress forbids him to do it. TuE CALL correspondent telegraphed several months ago that the visit here of | Ricketts, Neff, Ralston and others was made in vain, President Cleveland and Hoke Smith held out some faigpromises, but it was predicted at that time that the railroad patents would continue, despite these promises. Hoke Smith is partial to railroads. He used to be a railroad attor- | ney and all of his sympathies are with cor- porations. The California miners will con- tinue tolose their mineral lands until Con- gress passes some bill similar to that of Representative Hartman, which now ap- plies only to Montana and Idaho, Cami- netti worked zealously to have California included in this act, but in the conference committee his efforts were defeated by the influence of Huntington, exerted through some Nevada and Oregon Senators. Mr. Huntington has been able to secure priviieges at the Interior Department, and has succeeded ir having his land patents expedited by paying money to persons who are familiar with the railroad land business of the department. One Francis M. Gideon, while yet an employe of the Land Commissioner’s office, made a propo- sition to Railroad Attorney Gates and Vice-President Tweed in the Mills build- ing, New York, that he would resign his Government position and assist the South- ern Pacific in its selections if the railroad would pay him so much an acre. This proposition was jaccepted by the railroad, and Gideon was employed by them. THE CaLL correspondent has proof of what is here alleged. The proposition of Gideon, in his own handwriting, is now in the pos- session of THE CALL'S correspondent. Gideon’s railroad work was not under- taken until he had resigned his Govern- ment position, but the proposition to em- ploy him was made while he was still in Government service, and a Washington Jawyer believes it is a grave question whether or not Gideon did not violate the United States law; and on the side of the railroad officers who employed him, while they might not be criminally liable, a question of moral turpitude is presented, at least. William Stone, son of Governor Stone, formerly Commissioner of the General Land Office, says he was also approached by Gideon, though he de- clared that he never received any share of the money which the railroad paid Gideon. He was making complaints against the latter because he did not receive what Gideon promised him. Whether or not the railroad officials sought to secure young Stone’s help for the influence it might have on the elder Stone does not ap- pear very plain. THE CALL correspondent intends to lay these facts 'before the Com- mittee on Public Lands in Congress this winter, — The Ram Katahdin. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 5.—Secre- tary Herbert will take no action on the failure of the Ammen ram Katahdin to attain the required speed until the report of the Trial Board has been considered. It is likely that the Secretary will delay disposing of the matter till Congress meets, in_order to give the Bath Iron ‘Wor ks of Bath, Me., tEe contractors of the vessel, an opportunity to secure a modifi- cation of the explicit language of the con- tract, that if the vessel fails to make sev- enteen knots she shall be rejected, instead of allowing her acceptance, as is custom- ary, at a reduced price proportionate to the falling off in speed. —_———— First Conscience Contribution, WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 5.—Inter- nal Revenue Commissioner Miller to-day received a draft for §750. The draft was signed by a banking firm and it was for- warded through a New York bank. The fact is regarded as almost certain that some person had defrauded the Internal Revenue Department for the amount stated. The oldest clerks in the Internal Revenue Burean say this is the first con- science contribution received at the bureau within their memorie: e S MUTINY THREATENED. Demoralized Condition of the Spanish Army in Cuba. BOSTON, Muss., Nov. 5.—A dispateh to a morning paper brings the following in- telligence from Cuba. The information is from one of the largest sugar-planters and is regarded as an unbiased view of the struggle: The Spanish army in Cuba is in a very demoralized condition. Lhis demoraliza- tion is due to insufficiency of food and | clothing and lack of pay. The soldiers are starving, in rags and barefooted, and many have not been paid since the revolu- tion began. The mortality among the troops is frightful. In some regiments 50 per cent have died of yellow fever. The Madnd Government seems to be utterly heartless as regards the troops. Some time ago the soldiers sent a petition to Madrid asking that the families of those dying with yellow fever be granted the same pensions as those killed in battle. This petition was approved by Campos, but the Madrid Government re- fused to grant it. The soldiers have been maddened by these things, and open mutiny is threatened. It is reported in Havana that Campos has cabled Madrid that unless the soldiers be better treated Spain will soon have no army in Cuba. The soldiers and officers are so despondent that suicides are oceur- ring daily, The Spanish planters say the island is lost to Spain and that they are getting out while they can. Every steamer leaving Havana for Europe is crowded with the refugees. Amnesty to Political Prisoners. VIENNA, Avstera, Nov. 5.—Emperor Francis Joseph has granted amnesty to all political prisoners in Bohemia. 1S TO CANADKS ACTIOH Justification for the Erection of Forts Along the Alaskan Boundary. Troops Were Sent, Say Officials, Merely to Check the Lawless Ele- ment. OTTAWA, Oxtario, Nov. 5—The dis- patch from Tacoma alleging that Cana- dian forts are going up all along the Alas- kan boundary in the Yukon gold region | proves to have a foundation in fact. It appears that the force sent to the Yukon district by the Interior Department under Inspector Constanine was composed of about a score of men. In order to make this small body effective, orders were given to build stockades in which a prisoner could be placed with safety, and these were to be built at intervals along the boundary at the most prominent and commanding positions to be found. Colonel White of the Department of the Interior, when seen to-day, said: “I can fully understand America’s in- terests in this dispute in the gold fields. The impression is that Canada is stealing a march on the United States. This, how- ever, I am sure we haveno intention of doing. It was only on receiving continued applications from Tnited States traders and missionaries that action was eventu- ally taken, and from what official reports we have at hand from the district, we are aciing rightly in placing this hitherto law- less tract of country under discipline. If Canada goes beyond her jurisdiction, when the question of title is definitely settled Lshe will make way for the United States, but until that time comes we shall con- tinue to command all the district right up to the boundary line. While we would take this action even if it were a question of our own ideas of discipline, when our action is, in addition, to the desire of | Americans themselves in the troubled | places, I do not see how the United States | can in any way construe our action as be- ingin any way a breach of international law.” Hon. Charles White, also of the Depart- ment of the Interior, said: “I am con- vinced that the solution of the trouble has at last been reached and that the friendly offices of Canada will be appreciated, now that their true object has been made clear. 1t is not a question of boundary, it is sim- ply a question of subjugation of those bands of lawless characters who are always found when gold fields are discovered. We shall putastop to these outrages, at all costs, and I feel confident that the United States will back us up in our action.” B TO WINTER IN THE SOUTH. Withdrawal of the British Squadron From the North. HALIFAX, N. 8., Nov. 5.~There is at present considerable speculation in diplo- | matic and military circles regarding the orders which have been received from the British War Office in regard to the dis- posal of the North American fleet for the winter. In former years but very few of the vessels belonging to the squadron changed their quarters, but b{. the order which has been received this year the entire fleet of Great Britain in North America have received instructions to win- ter in the south. The North American squadron at pres- ent consists of ten ships. There are only nine available, the Cleopatra having sailed for England October 30, either to be recom- missioned or to be superseded by a vessel of better class. All the other vessels have left Halifax except the Crescent, a first- class cruiser which bears Admiral Erskine’s flag. On Wednesday of next week she will” proceed to Bermuda. Itis regarded as very strange action in the face of the depredations of "the pirates in the region oF the North Atlantic, as with the exodus of the fleet they will practically be able to do as they please. Admiral Erskine, when seen to-day, refused to say anything in regard to the innovation, but in all quarters the order from the home War Department is viewed as having grave possibilitie: — - Damaged by an Earthgquake.

Apollinaris “THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS.” “First in Purity.” BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL, EULOGIZED THE POET, Tear-Stained Tribute Paid to the Memory of - Eugene Field. WITH COMMON IMPULSE. Noted Writers and Editors of Chicago Express Their Sor- row at the Loss, GLOWING WERE THE TRIBUTES, ’. All the Noble Talents of the Deceased Set Forth in Resolution and Speech. CHICAGO, Irr., Nov. 5.—Novel writers and poets, ministers of the Gospel and men of business, editors and reporters of Chicago’s daily and other journals and public officials mingled in the parlors of the Press Club during the noon hour to- day, making a representative gathering of friends and admirers of the late poet and journalist, Eugene Field. They came there with a common impulse—to give voice to gentle words of praise for the de- parted and to show by their presence that they were in heartfelt accord with the sen- timents expressed in the following tribute adopted by a silent, rising vote: “The Press Ciub of Chicago desires to express its sorrow over the death of Eu- gene Field. He was a nature rich in all those attributes which make a man of mark, compelling universal love, respect and admiration. In the death of Eugene Field the literary world has lost a man who in National and international appre- ciation had attained the widest distinction. Possessed of the highest mental gifts he was in his personal character the plainest of men. His perceptions were quick to distinguish between right and wrong in individuals and movements. He was loyal to his friends and gentle to his critics. He was a clean, successful, brilliant man, a perfect husband and father. He was an ideal newspaper man. ‘‘His death is not the loss of his personal friends alone, but of Chicago and the world. He taught the good and taught it fascinatingly. He was as brave as the bravest in his opinions and as gentle as a woman in his allowances toward those from whom he differed. “Eugene Field’s name will live in the degree in which the people loved him. His love was that which never failed of recip- rocity. Iis heart went out to that which most appeals to humanity — childhood. His name has won a place in every house- hold—a place which it will keep as long as children prattle and mothers tell them tales.” After the resolutions had been read, the chair was relinquished by President Pack- ard in favor of Mayor Swift, who spoke briefly. Joseph Medill, in eulogizing the poet, said he was such a genius as Shakes- peare was, holding up the mirror of child nature and immortalizing the prattle of innocent childhood as no man had ever done. Field had completed the work Shakespeare had begun. In his prose writings the venerable editor compared the poet to Benjamin Franklin, and added that the East had not given to the world such a genius, whose boast was that he had never been compelled to write under anom de plume. : Otder tear-stained tributes of admiration and affection were paid to the lamented oet by Opie Read, Paul Hull, Slason }i‘humpson, Johu Vance Cheney, Newberry librarian, and Rev. Dr. Frank Bristol. sibility, died from consumption last Sunday on the steamer on which he was returning from Jamaiea, and which arrived at Boston this morning, Mr. Elliott was born at Silver Creek, a village in Chautauqua County, this State, thirty-eight years ago. There he and John R. Spears started a little weekly paper, which made a local success and ran for some time. S ANOTHER LINK.IN THE CHAIN. Important Evidence Against the Kessler Train-Robbers Found Among Buried Papers. LIGONIER, Ixp., Nov. 5.—Another link in the chain of evidence that one of the Kessler train-robbers has been captured was established yesterday by the digging up of papers that were stolen at the time of the robbery. James Brown, who was arrested for the Chicago and West Michi- gan hold-up a few months ago and was brought to Albion last Saturday, gave con- clusive evidence that he is one of the gang. He went with Sheriff Simon and Prose~ cutor Glatte to a spot on the farm of Lum Cain, about three miles east of the scene of the hold-up and one mile north of the railroad. When near a spring he pointed be found. About a foot below the surface at the spot indicated the package was found. They were express papers and some money orders. The canvas sack had rotted away, and the outer edges of the papers were decayed, but many parts of them were plainly legible. Brown says it was at that place where he and the Smalleys stopped shortly after committing the robbery. At daylight they counted the money, about $16,000, and each took $5000. Brown says Abe Smalley is in Montana. thorough desperado, and his rule has al- ways been never to be taken. el iy Man and Wife Murdered. BALTIMORE, Mbp., Nov. 5.—Captain Frederick Lang and wife were found dead in bed at their home in Gardenville, a suburb of the city, this morning. Their skulls had been crushed and their house ransacked. Robbery was evidently the incentive of the double murder. Captain Lang was interested in the oyster trade and owned a number of vessels.

Discoveries of Great Value in a Region Never Before Traversed by a White Man. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 5—A ca- | blegram was received in this city last even- |ipg from Dr. Donaldson Smith, dated | Aden, bearing the one word, “Successful.” | This news established the safety of the | plucky Philadelphian, who for the past yearand a half has been exploring the wilds of Eastern Africa,ana at the same time | puts an end to the doubt as to his safety whicth had been felt by those interested in the expedition for the past few months. | Dr. 8mith entered Africa on the eastern | coast about at the third degree of north | latitude a year ago last June, to push across the country of the Gallasand Massai to two lakes which had been recently discovered by another expedition, and thence on to the two Nyanzas, his object | being to carry out and complete the line | of exploration from the lakes to the east | coast, a distance of several hundred miles. Dr. Smith was accompanied by about 150 Africans, and at first by an Englishman, who was subsequently obliged to return to London. Dr. Smith sent back some fine specimens of the region’s flora, after he had been on his expedition a few months, for the Geographical Society of London, and some months later was reported to be pushing on by another party whom he met. Aside from these evidences of his safely there has been none until the arrival of his cablegram last evening. As the region which Dr. Smith has traversed is at the present time represented by a blank space on the map of Africa, the significance of the explorer’s brief message will be real- ized immediately. He has undoubtedly made a great many discoveries of much value. NEW TO-DAY. “‘Thirty Years of Satisfaction’” Stands Back of the Sullivan Shoe.
