LONDON, May 28.-The midget
General Mite and Millie Edwards,
were married this morning in the reg
istror's Office, Manchester. Both were
carried up stairs enveloped in shawls,

after the marriage they breakfasted
at the Grand hotel. The re-
ligious ceremony was performed in
the afternoon, according to the Pres

LONDON, May 28.-Truth (newspa-
per- says of the special honor paid by
the American minister to France to
the Count of Paris: A lady asked
Mr.. Morton to introduce her to the
Count de Paris. Mr.. Morton informed
the count of this request, and he init
mated that he would be pleased to al
low her to be presented. Mr.. Morton
thereuron said to the LADY, "The
Count de Paris permits the introduce
ton of you to him." The Orleanist
made use of this incident to circulate
a report through France that the
Americans admitted the sovereignty
of the Count de Paris. Mr.. Morton
erred in inviting an active and open
pretender to his house, but he was led
into it by American ladies-unworthy
of Americans who pose in Paris-as
leaders of society by virtue their large
fortunes, and the fact they are mar
ried to idle Frenchmen of dubious
nobility. These ladies regard untitled
Europeans as menials and fancy that

LONDON, May 29.-The Pail Nal
Gazette declares that Granville's re
quest to Turkey to send fifteen thou

troll. The ministers knew what
Granville was doing when it was pro-
posed to surrender to France, but they
were aghast when they heard the
proposal to Turkey to send troops to
Soudan. Turkey, on Tuesday, signed
her acceptance to this proposition.
1t is not clear how the cabinet can re-
puuiate Turkeys acceptance, without
insisting upon GranVille's resigna-
ton.
The same paper says the Egyptian
conference meets June %. Before
that time the question of multiple
control and limit to English occupa-
ton is concluded between Waddington

to by the other powers.
