ST. pKTKTism Kfi, Nov. 27. —The wedding' of Nicholas II., cztir of Russia, to Princess Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt took place here Monday afternoon. Before 7 o'clock in the morning' large •crowds of people were assembling1 on the Newsky prospect in order to secure places along the route of the royal wedding procession. From the AnitchkofE palace to tiie winter palace the whole avenue was lined with troops.

Tho Royal l'rocessiou.

At 11:15 o'clock a. m. in the distance •was suddenly heard the grand swelling strains of the national anthem and all along the route the multitudes un..covered in anticipation of the approach

OEAR NICHOLAS AX.EX.ANDROVITCEL /of the bridal party. Soon afterward .an open state carriage drawn by four white horses appeared. In this -vehicle were the czar and his brother, 'Grand Duke Michael. They wore the 'uniform of hussars of the guard «md were greeted with a vociferous burst of cheering, which was renewed again and again. The czar's equipage "was preceded and also followed by detachments of chevaliers des gards and hussars and lancers of the guard, all in brilliant gala uniforms. .Then came a superb landau, also .drawn by four white horses, in which were Princess Alix and the czarina. They received if possible even a more hearty popular greeting than the czar himself. Handkerchiefs and hats were waved in the air .and the most intense enthusiasm pre--vailed. After the carriage of the princess and the czarina followed a long train of carriages with the royal guests, including the prince and princess of Wales, Princess Irene •of Prussia, Grand Duchess Sergius -and other prominent members of the imperial family, as well as all the wedding guests.

Military bands were stationed at vaTiows points along the route between rtJie two palaces and they each struck

tip the national anthem as the cortege anpeared. The national hymn was thus sounded in the ears of the imperial party along the entire route.

The wedding procession entered the winter palace at 1:15 o'clock p. m., where as soon as possible afterwards were assembled all tiiose who had been invited to be present at the wedding.

The Ceremony,

As the emperor took his place at the right of the dais the czarina led Princess Alix to him and placed her at his left. The czarina then took her place in the chancel at the right of the dais. The crosses, holy water and sacred books were then placed before the gate of Tkonostas and them arriage service in nse in the orthodox church was begun by the singing of Psalm 127. The ceremony, which was conducted by Arch-I-Yiest Jamyskcheff, chaplain to the late czar, was of the most impressive character and lasted two hours. After tlie psalm Arch-Priest Janyskcheff said a few words of instruction to the couple, telling them what is the mystery of marriage, and how in marriage they have to live acceptable unto God and honorably.

Baoh One Is Crowned.

After prayer the arch-priest took two crowns, placing the first cn the head of the czar, saying:

4'The

serv­

ant of God, Nicholas, is crowned for the handmaid of God, Alix, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." Placing the other crown upon the head of the bride, he said: "The handmaid of God, Alix, is crowned for tlie servant of God, Nicholas, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost."

Guns Salute tlie New Czarina.

A short time later the guns of the fortress boomed forth the intelligence that the ceremony had taken place and that Kussia has a new czarina.

On its return from the. winter p&lace the imperial party alight­

ed and entered the Cathedral of Kazan, where the protection of the Almighty was invoked upon the new czar and czarina. The ordinary theaters have received permission to recommence their performances.

Notable Scene at Night.

At 8 o'clock Monday evening there was a multitude before the Anitclikoff palace singing the national anthem and cheering. The czar and czarina appeared on the balcony at intervals amidst such roars of cheers as have not been heard in St. Petersburg for years. An eye witness of the procession through the halls after the wedding relates that the bride was very stately, very beautiful, but somewhat weary and sad.

In honor of the czar's wedding *0,000 poor people dined at the expense of the czar. All the schools have been closed for three days to give the children a holida3' and enable them to celebrate the imperial marriage.

He also will cancel the liability to punishment in cases of criminals not detected within fifteen years. All convicts from the Polish rebellion of 1888 will be allowed to reside anywhere in the empire. Their birthrights, but no property, will be restored.

SESSION WILL BE QUIET.

Closing Months or the Klfty-Tlilrd Congress Not Intended for Heavy Work. WASHINGTON, NOV. 27.—There is hardly the usual interest in the approaching meeting of congress that is generally manifested about the capital. Few senators and representatives have arrived.

N W O K, Nov. '27.—There are good reasons for believing that Samuel C. Seely, the bookkeeper who assisted in defrauding the Shoe and Leather bank of $!5-l,000, will be in the custody of the police within the next twentyfour hours, unless he should die meantime that he has decided to surrender himself to the authorities and to make a clean breast of his share in tho robbery.

OtlHtrH Were (iullly.

If the word of a prominent physician can be depended upon, Seely is within SO miles of tho city hall, and he has not been much further away than that at any time since he disappeared over a week ago. The fugitive is broken in health and spirit, according to this physician, and may have but a few months of life left in him. This physician says Seely, lying upon a bed in an upper story room of the house in which ho has found refuge, spent a good deal of time Monday preparing a statement by which he expects to show he was only a tool in the hands of others, and that persons more prominent and bettor known than Frederick Baker, his dead confederate, profited by his stealing. From hints dropped in the presence of hiB physician the latter has been led to believe there were really five persons actively concerned in the conapiraoy to defraud the Shoe and Leather bank, and that one, at least, of these oooupies a high position socially and financially. Two of the five were Baker and Seely and the other three, according to tho statement to be made by Seely, are connected with big banking houses.

No Bun on the Banlc

There was no run on the National Shoe and Leather bank Monday, as it was feared there might be in consequence of the stealing of 8854,000 by Bookkeeper Suely and Depositor Baker. The bank oflicers were prepared for it, though. They put themselves in readiness to pay out every dollar of indebtedness. Its patrons seem to have full confidence, for the deposits Monday vf!re largely in excess of the withdrawals.

Mr. Baker's Suicide.

NEW YOKK, NOV. 27.—The family of Frederick Baker, the alleged accomplice of Bookkeeper Seely,who robbed the Shoe and Leather bank of S354.000, had arranged that the funeral of the dead man should take place on Wednesday, but a postponement is likely to be necessary. The coroner of Queens county insists that an autopsy shall be held in order to settle, if possible, the question as to whether death was the result of accident or of suicidal design. There is a theory that an autopsy will reveal the presence of poison in tle internal organs, which would in part explain the fact that the body was afloat so soon after death.

Other Th«rt Come to lv.gSt. It has now become a question as to whetherestnt.es of which Maker was the trustee or executor have not suffered by his peculations. Augustus Kiigel, one of the heirs of the estate of Gottleib Kagel, reported at Baker's oflice .Monday upon the authority of the bank named that he had ascertained that sixty-live shares of the Chemical national bank, belonging to tue estate, had beeu transferred by Baker May ft, 1879. The bank authorities refused to say to whom the shares had been transferred, but stated that as executor Mr. Baker had the right to transfer them.

Business at the National Shoe and Leather was conducted in the usual manner all day and the receipts and disbursements evinced no extraordinary condition. The bank ofiicials assert that tliey have no doubt that the bulk of th money taken by Seeh- and Iiii.i-ier will be recovered.

Piannci} a Commit nirltle. From facts adduced there can be little doubt that itaker ha planned tc commit suicide some Time When his box a t. the Park national bank was examined it was found that no later than October last Mr. Baker had taken out two insurance policies for 5fl0,000 each with the Hquitable Life Insurance company. It was found that these policies were incontestable, an additional premium of 8100 each being paid to make them so. The two policies were made payable to Baker's wife, and the officials of the insurance company have made a practical admission that they are not rendered invalid because of Bakers suicide. Another policy for 82.500, issued by the same company almost fifteen years ago, was assigned by Baker to his wife more than a year ago.

The Mutual Life Insurance company had also insured Mr. Baker on two policies several years ago, but will not give the amounts, although declaring that they will not exceed 310,000. It is also known that Baker tried to take out a policy for 810,000 with a Connecticut insurance company, but declined to do so because the company would not strike out the suicide clause in his policy.
