entrance to St. James Palace. The decorations along the line of the royal procession were profuse and beautiful. The scene was full of life and movement, and the ceremony eclipsed in pomp and grandeur any recent state ceremonial in connection with the British court. The royal party left Buckinham Palace in four processions, the first conveying members of the household and distinguished guests. The next included the Duke of York and his supporters, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburg. The bride came in the third procession, accompanied by her father, the Duke of Teck, and her brother, Prince Adolphus of Teck. The last procession was that of the Queen, who, accompanied by the Duchess of Teck, her younger sons and the Grand Duke of Hesse, drove in state to the ceremonials. Her Majesty

rode in the handsome glass coach used at the opening of Parliament and other special occasions. Her Majesty alighted in the ambassador’s court under a specially erected canopy over the glass doors of the passage leading to the chapel. Thence she walked to the north end of the edifice. The spot was beautifully adorned with palms and flowers from the royal conservatory and carpeted with crimson. Upon the same platform seats were provided for the (Prince and Princess of Wales, the bride and bridegroom and the other members of ,the royal family and royal guests from abroad. The members of the diplomatic body, including the membersof the United States embassy and other invited guests, •.occupied especial seats in the body of the .chapel and in the royal and oast galleries.

PRINCESS MAY OF TECK.

"Drawing room drosses were worn by tho ladies, The gentlemen appearing in full levee dress. The bride wory the veil which was worn 1 by her mother on the occasion of her own marriage. Her wedding gown was of silver brocade, in perfect harmony with the bridesmaids’ toilets of white satin and silver lace. The archbishop of Canterbury, assisted ■ by the other clergy, performed the ceremony, the bride being given away by her •lather. The magnificent gilt sacramental iplate, the central alms dish which is said !to have been manufactured in the reign of Charles I, and is valued at 150,000, was displayed upOn the altar, which was decked with the choicest flowers. The de juner was served at Buckingham iPalace, the Queen proposing the toast of |the bride and bridegroom and the lord .steward the toast of “The Queen.” Prince George Frederick Ernst Albert, IDiike of York, Earl of Irverness and Baron Klllarney, is the only surviving son of the Prince of Wales. He was born at ffarlborough House on June 3, 1865, and

—- — . at Windsor Castle on the Kin , July following. He was educated; at Sandringham and Marlborough House. When fourteen years old Prince George was entered as a Mdct on board H. M. S, Brittany. At the present moment he is the junior captain in the navy. Shortly after the death of his elder brother, the Duke of Clarence and Avondale, who died a few weeks before the time sot for his marriage to the bride of to-day, Prince George received from the Queen, his grandmother, the Royal Dukedom of York. His other titles are too numerous to mention.

She was born at Kensington Palace on the 36th of May, 1867. and the greater part of her life has been spent at White Lodge, Richmoud Park, the residence of her parents. It is doubtful it auv Princess was ever hold in higher esteem than is Princess May. Her modesty and inherent kindliness have made her a general favorite, and her sympathy with the poor and her active endeavors to improve their condition have made her an idol where royalty is not well received. IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE. The Duke of Veragua lias Illustrious An cestry but Lacks Dollars. The friends and advisers of the Duke of Veragua in this country, having learned that his financial affairs in Spain are in such a'condition as to betoken the loss of his entire estate, have decided to raise a considerable fund for the benefit of his family.

HARRISON’S ISLAND NO. 1. Carter Harrison wants to build an island seven miles out in the lake, at Chicago. “We could build a new crib there and obtain an abundant supply of water that would be forever free from pollution,” said ho. “Such an island would be a groat acquisition to Chicago. It would be a

summer resort, a breathing place, a pleasure garden, a picnicking ground. It would have to be established on stakes. I mentioned the matter to Gen. Fitzsimmons. He said that it ho had the authority he could organize a syndicate to construct the island.” THE IOWA CYCLONE. Additional details of the cyclone that swept over western Iowa, Thursday evening, indicate that the storm was of almost unexampled severity a town of 900 inhabitants, in Calhoun county, was practically wiped out. It is feared that as many as one hundred fatalities will result at that place alone, and there are at least 300 people badly injured. At Punda, la., also, many lives were lost and the destruction of property was most disastrous. Gov. Boies was appealed to for aid for citizens of Pomeroy, and left Des Moines for the scone of the calamity, Friday. JULIA MARLOWE MARRIED.

Ho alleges that the ship had scarcely gotten away from Sandy Hook before the passengers suspected the couple of being married. The theory was accepted as a fact before tho ship reached Cape Cod. It has long been known that Miss Marlowe looked with favor upon Mr. Tabor and the story of the marriage is generally believed.

Mr. Stevenson spoke as follows: I am confident that at no time or place have human eyes beheld a grander assemblage. This is America’s day. But this, our day, comes unheralded by edict or proclamation. For more than one hundred years it has been the day of days of America—the day we do honor to the memory of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Those ceremonies, this coming together of the people, note the anniversary of the birth of the Republic. Prophet as well as patriot John Adams claimed: “We shall make this a glorious, an immortal day. Our children will celebrate it with roar of cannon, with martial music, with songs of thanksgiving and with souls of joy.” All of this multiplied our eyes now behold. One hundred and seventeen years from the hour this 'declaration was signed, upon the southern border of the great chain of lakes, midway between the oceans, a city has sprung into life containing a population but little less than that of all the American States at the time the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed? I congratulate you,my countrymen,on this auspicious celebration ofjthe fourth day of July, upon thegloriesof the past and upon what yet remains sure for us and for our children. Self-government is no longer an experiment. It has safely passed the crucial tost of more than 100 years of trial. Our republic is “whole as the marble, founded as the rock, as broad and general as the casing. Speeches were also made by Mayor Harrison, Hon. Hampton L. Carson, of Philadelphia, and other distinguished orators. The great buildings were profusely decorated and the day and celebration was notable and remarkable in all respects.

The dispatch says that a mob of natives attacked and killed two Swedish missionaries named Wickholm and Johannsen, at Machcng, sixty miles from Han Kow. No details are given, but the murders are said to have been due to the anti-foreign placards that have heretofore caused much trouble to the foreign missionaries in China. Two thousand students at Paris, Monday, surrounded the prefecture of police, jeered the officials and smashed in the windows with stones. A serious riot ensued between the mob and officers, and many were hurt badly on both sides. The origin of the trouble was the killing oi a student by the police in making an arrest. *

About the middle of May officials of the Taiping custom house sent away a considerable quantity of money, collected as duty, to Canton. The money was intrusted to deputies, who embarked in a small boat and proceeded on their way, escorted by three small river gunboats. Some distance down the river they were suddenly attacked by several pirate boats which rushed out of a small creek unexpectedly and set upon the boat containing the treasure. The soldiers on the gunboats fought bravely, the struggle lasting several hours, but as there were nearly five hundred pirates, both on boats and on the banks of the river, the soldiers were put to flight, leaving a largo number of dead and wounded behind them, and the pirates succeeded in carrying off the booty to the extent of about 130,000.

Near Bardwell, Ky., Wednesday morning, Rubie and Mary Ray, aged twelve and sixteen, respectively, daughters .of John Ray, were criminally assaulted and then murdered by an unknown man.

Mrs. Ray thought something was wrong, and followed the dog back to the thicket, where she found the body of Mary. Her throat was cut from ear to ear. The horrified mother ran back to the house and gave the alarm. Her son hurried to the thicket, and found the corpse of his younger sister. Her throat was cut from ear to ear. Both bodies were horribly mangled, plainly showing that the young girls had been outraged. There is no definite clew to the identity of the brute who committed the crime. GEN. WEAVER’S IDEAS. The Whilom Presidential Quantity Makes a Few Remarks. Gen. James B. Weaver writes the editor of the New York World from Des Moines, Iowa, under date of July 2, in reply to inquiries as to his ideas on the silver crisis. He advocates an independent system of finance for this country. He holds that the closing of the Indian mints is a blow that must result in our shaking off the yoke under which wo have so long struggled. England, he says, is robbing us tenfold more by her financial policy than she did in 1776 by her taxes. We must have a triple system of finance—gold, silver and paper. Continuing, Gen. Weaver says that the present crisis will bring about the complete overthrow of both the old parties, hs they are the joint authors of the present distress. Those who wish to uphold England will stay with the old parties; those who wish complete independence will flock to the new. A HAWAIIAN CONSPIRACY. Dispatches from Honolulu dated June 28th give details of a conspiracy that has been discovered to overthrow the provisional government. The members engaged in the plot are sworn to remove all persons who stand in the way of the restoration of the deposed Queen. Claus Spreckles, the sugar planter; Minisler Blount and others who are supposed to favor annexation are marked for assassination and have received warning and threatening letters. The provisional government has, taicen steps to protect all parties as far as possible, and serious trouble is not anticipated. For the first six months of the current calendar year the offers of silver aggregated 51,300,000 ounces, while for the same period last year they were only 45,350,000 ounces. A “fake” Barnum & Bailey circus agent has been abusing the confidence of the business men of Michigan City.

T WITH TRIMMINGS? A kentucky Lynching With Many New Features. White Savages Take an Awful Revenge Upon the Senseless Body of the Murderer. Seay J. Miller, the negro -charged with the outrage and murdcrof Mary and Huh/ Ray, was hanged at Bardwell, Ky., t r1 ' day afternoon, and the body .burned after being horribly mutilated. The negro made a speech proclaiming his innocence, but it is said that ho afterward made a partial confession. The steamer Three States, with several hundred men from Cairo on board, mot the special train from Sikeston at Bird’s Point. The prisoner was put on the boat and taken to Wlckliffo at 5 o’clock, Friday morning. There Frank Gordon, the fisherman who ferried -the murderer across the river, Wednesday night, identified Miller as the same man. Still Miller pleaded his innocence, and John Kay, the father of the murdered girls, counseled patience. The mob boarded a train at Wickliffe and brought thef prisoner to Bardwell, arriving at 11:30 o’clock. There were not less than 5,000 men at the depot, and the train, consisting of eight coaches; was crowded. Previous to this time an agreement was made by the people to allow the father of the children to prescribe the punishment, but when the train arrived it seemed that the men forgot their promise for the time. They rushed to the train, one over another, and at one time it was thought by a great many that the negro was being torn limb from limb. At last quiet was restored and all went to a very high scaffold constructed of bridge timbers. Sheriff Hutson, the prisoner, and a number of of the guards mounted the stand. John Ray, the father of the murdered, girls, made a talk, in which he said: “This is the man who killed my chiU dren, but let us keep quiet now and at tha proper time burn him.” The negro was called upon to make a talk, and responded promptly and with wonderful nerve considering the circumstances under which he was placed. His voice was clear and he seemed almost oblivious to the surroundings. His exact Words were as follows: My name is Sea v J. Miller, and-I am from Springfield, 111. My wife lives at 710 N. Second St. I am here among you as a stranger and looked on by you as the most brutal man that ever stood on God’s green, earth. 1 am standing here an innocent man among excited men, who do not propose to let the law take its course. I have committed no crime to be deprived of my liberty and life. I am not guilty.” At 3:27 o’clock the body was swung to a tall telegraph pole directly at the north end of the depot, and as he was drawn up his clothes wore torn from his body by the maddened mob. He was heard to say just as they drew him up: ‘Taman innocent man,” but there is a fully authentic report Chat he made at least a partial confession as the mob took him from the jail. The nefero was drawn up with his face to the pole, and when his feet were two or three feet from the ground some one shot him, the ball passing entirely through his body. In a few minutes life was entirely extinct. The body was left hanging until 4:25 o’clock, during which time some of the toes and fingers were cut off. The body was finally carried about 300 oyards. At that place the ears were cut off; nearly all the remaining toes and fingers were severed and the body otherwise mutilated. The body was then placed between two logs and kindling piled upon it, and then enough wood to comploto the job of burning. The crowd remained orderly to the last, but very determined. The men who did the hanging are from Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois and Missouri. OFF COOK COUNTY’S COAST. Arrival of the Columbus Caravula at Jack-* son Park. The arrival of the Spanish caravals at the World’s Fair, Friday, was celebrated with appropriate ceremonies. Special exercises were conducted in honor of tho event.
