ALL BUT THE MINISTER.
Curious Predicament of a Couple
Who Want TO Get Married.

VINO want 10 Get MARRIED.
Special to the Globe.
PHILADELPHIA. April 5.-Mr. Solomon
Lazarus Levy, the Philadelphia partner of
the Wall street stock brokerage firm of
Coils " Levy, of which Gen. G. Ii. 7.
Coils is the New York representative. is
In somewhat of Quandary regarding the
arrangements for his forthcoming marriage
The difficulty arises from the fact that his
fiance. Miss Lizzie S. Mccall, daughter of
John c. Mccall, wealthy whisky dealer
OF this city. is Roman Catholic, while he
is by birth Hebrew. Mr.. Levy long ago
fOrsOOk, in great measure, the faith of
his fathers, but he is nevertheless not a
Christian, and so it happens that no clergy
man of the Roman Catholic church can be
found who will join him to the lady of his
choice. On the other hand the Jewish
rabbls of the city are just as firmly op-
posed tn uniting Jew and Gentle, and the
curious situation is therefore presented of a
man and woman ready to be married. and
desiring church ceremony, with no clergy
man willing to perform the Office. The
only alternative is marriage by the mayor
and this is not looked upon with favor by
either the prospective bride or groom.
Both are very fashionable, moving in the
upper circles of Quaker City society, and
the present mayor of Philadelphia they
consider their social inferior. He lives
north of Market street, the dividing line be-
tween blue blood and shOddy, and to invite
him to perform the wedding ceremony
would be to so lower the tone of the affair
as to keep away many of the first families
who would otherwise grace the occasion by
their presence. What will be done under
the circumstances is, therefore, a question
of no little importance, and society is anX-
iOusly awaiting the solution of the problem.
The prospective groom is a bachelor of
about 40 years of age, tall, dark and hand
some. He has always been known as q
woman hater, and his engagement was a
surprise even to his most intimate
friends. He is here commonly
called Fast Train Levy, ".because on
occasions when certain stocks have
became scarce in Wall street, and loaned
there at high rate of interest, he has gath
cred all the available certificates. chartered
fast train and spun over to Gotham in
time to loan them in Wall street before
settling hour, clearing thousands of dollars
by the operation. He is a passionate lover
of horses, is an expert rider and promin-
ent member of several fox-hunting clubs.
He owns the steeple chaser Rory O'Moore,
and has ridden the beast to running goal
in many race in which gentlemen riders
only took part. Mr.. Levy lives with his
mother on Walnut street. above Twentieth.
His sister married Gen. Coils. Miss Nc
Call is about % years of age, small and
dark with swapping black eyes and curling
hair. She has been in Philadelphia society
for three or four seasons

RIVAL OF MR. LOGAN.
NIr. SteeIe's Bill TO Increase the
Efficiency oftthe Army.

EItIc1enCy army.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Mr. Steele Of
Indiana will tomorrow present to the
house a bill to promote the efficiency
of the army which has been pre-
pared as a substitute to all other bills on the
subject. 1t provides for uniform organ
iZation of the cavalry, artillery and in
fantry, each regiment to have twelve COM
panies capable of organization into three
battalions of four companies each. The
number of artillery officers in service is TO
be reduced from $50 to 225. each regiment
to have twenty-eight lieutenants and four
teen captains, the surplus lieutenants TO be
appointed TO original vacancies i'm the in
fantry. Provision is made for a system of
rotation and exchange among all officials of
each regiment so that the arduous and dis
agreeable duties as well as the pleasant
shall be shared by all. All the vacancies
created by the bill are TO be filled by APP
pontment by seniority, after examination,
from the three arms of the service. Should
the bill become a law there would be
created fifty original vacancies in each of
the grades Of major and captains of in
fantry. There could be ten vacancies i'm
artillery and forty-five vacancies in
the grade of lieutenant of infantry
after absorbing the 50 extra lieutenants of
artillery, or in all 155 vacancies. The pro-
motions by seniority would carry up to cap
tains of artillery and A. of infantry to be
majors 80 lieutenants of cavalry. IS of ar
tillery and SO or infantry TO be captains.
There would remain 153 vacancies i'm the
grade of lieutenants, but only a part of
these would be filled, since a provision is
added that hereafter only graduates of the
military academy and meritorious non-com-
missioned officers shall be appointed TO the
grade of lieutenants. AS the number OF
both these classes of candidates does not or
dinarily exceed fifty-fve per annum there
would remain at least 100 vacancies in this

Specldl 10 the GlODe.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The fact that
there are SO, 600 Democratic poStmasters in
the service of the government as shown in
this correspondence some time ago. has set
people looking up the situation a little. and
it is being found that the offices are becom-
ing Democratic more rapidly than was sup
posed. In fact it seems that at the present
rate of making changes there will be very
few Republicans left to tell the tale by this
time next year. 'I have been looking up
the matter n little" said an officer
of one of the departments TO
your correspondent land / think
it will take only another year TO pretty well
clean the Republicans out. They are going
good deal faster than most people sup
pose. Take the postoffice department for
instance. There have been, as you already
know, over 20, 900 changes there, which,
added 10 the number of Democrats who
were in .he small offices when the admins
tratIon came in, makes the number of
Gratis in Office probably $4,000 in the post
Office department alone. Then take the
treasury, the number of changes there is
much greater than the public generally
suppose. You see, the people generally
only hear of the changes in
the larger offices, but in fact,
IIleSe changes are only lne seeus
some months ago which are beginning to
spring up and produce fruits in the way of
changes in the smaller offices. An internal
revenue collector, of whose appointment
you hear casually, may be the occasion of
the removal of a hundred gaUgers and
storekeepers of which you hear nothing at
all. So il is all around. The civil service
rules only apply to about so, 600 of the en-
ployes of the government, and as a result
the other hundred thousand offices are be-
ing filled Just as rapidly as possible, and
the people are going to wake up at the end
of the second year of Cleveland's admins
tratiOn to find hundred thousand Demo
Gratis in Office.

Meeting of Freight Agents.

SpeCldl " tHS
CHICAGO, April $50 far the east
bound rates from st. Paul to Chicago have
not been cut and the prospect is that they
will be maintained until after Wednesdays
meeting. There is but little through freight
coming from that direction at the present
time with the exception of flour. and that is
carried in transit, large quantity Of the
latter being on the Minneapolis market,
although the roads have bought up the
major portion of it. 1t is also an open secret
that both the st. Paul and the Northwestern
are contemplating putting on fast train
service shortly between Chicago and st.
Paul with the idea of firmly establishing
the service and gaining such prestige as
they may before the opening of the Bur-
lingtOn IL Northern route. Such action on
their part would probably precipitate q
passenger war unless some understanding
could be arrived at with the Rock Island,
Burlington and Illinois Central, which is
not likely. There are squalls ahead. To-
day the general freight agents of the roads
interested will meet at the Lakeside build
ing and
DISCUSS THE SITUATION.
Considerable speculation is being INDUCED
in by those not understanding the true in
WdIuucSS VI tic SlIudIlOll. Az IulS WTlIlQX
the chances are very much against ane
good results. Unless the officials of one of
the companies change their minds it will
not be represented. Rumor has it that the
st. Paul is no humor to compromise
upon any basis that could be arranged
at this meeting, believing that simply
agreement to maintain rates would be of but
little future effect. The overruling desire
of freight agents to secure customers, especi-
ally when not curbed by strict association
rules would lead to cutting, under the rose,
to be met with retaliation. which in the
event of an agreement would at once bring
back the old state of affairs, or that prevail
ing at the present time. Rumor has
it that the Northwestern is anxious
to patch up peace. The Rock Island
is different, and keeps on the
even tenor of its way. charging 10 cents on
all classes, and willing to listen to pacific
measures if the competing roads can be
brought on common platform. There
was no change in the situation yesterday,
the several roads holding to the rates made
Friday last. The shippers are sending for
ward freight freely, and there has been .
large access to the tonnage since the cut.

THE ARMY BILL
AttRc ked i'm the Senate by Plumb md
COckreII and Defended by Logan.

COckreII and Defended by Logan.
WASHINGTON. April 5.-Mr. George re-
ported unfavorably a bill to grant acqulsi-
ton of land privileges in Alaska to the
Northwest Trading company" organized
under the laws of Oregon. Mr.. Dalph
asked that the bill be placed on the calen-
dar. The army bill was then taFen up,
the pending question being on the motion
TO strike out the section which provides
that the army shall consist of so, 900 en-
listed men. Mr.. Plumb opposed the bill.
He thought justice should be done the vol
unteer army before the emOluments of the
regular army were piled up so high that
there was no money left in the treasury
Mr.. Frye interposed with some remarks
upon his resolution about the fisheries. He
thought it very important that the matter
should be settled at once. 1t involved a
matter that looked to war, inasmuch as
the Canadian government had fitted out
armed cruisers to keep American vessels
out of Canadian waters and ports. Should
one vessel be seized he would issue bill
closing all American ports to Canadian
vessels. Mr.. COckrell then took the floor
in oposition 10 the army bill. He said
there was ample power to protect
our institutions without a single regular
soldier. Our liberties depended upon the
patriotism of our citizens. a standing army
was danger to any republic. If occasion
demanded it we could put into the field
from 5, ZOO, 600 to 10, 900, 900 soldiers. The
volunteer soldiery had fought one of our
wars and could do so again if necessary.
Among our own people the sentiment of
peace and good will had never been stronger.
All that the country needed in the way of
a regular army was a small compact organ
iZation on the Indian border. Mr.. Logan
defended the bill at length and commended
the citizen soldierly, but said regular
organization was needed as a nucleus.

Alexander still Firm.

SOFIA, April 5.-To-day is the Goth an
niversary of the birth of Prince Alexander.
The people are celebrating it as a holiday.
A Te Deum was sung this morning in the
cathedral in celebration of the event. The
edifce was crowded. The representatives
OF all the powers, except Russia, attended
the service. All the consulate offices ex-
cept that of Russia were decorated with
flags. Gadban Effendi, the special Turkish
commissioner. who came here last week
with special mission concerning the East
eTn Roumelian governorship question raised
by Russia, has had several consultations
with Prince Alexander. The commissioner,
on behalf of the sultan, advised Alexander
not to resist the decision of the powers on
the question whether his title of governor
OF Eastern ROumelia is for limited term of
five years, as Russia claims, or for life as
he claims. Gadban Effendi assured the
prince that his wishes would be considered
when the conditions were favorable for so
doing. Prince Alexander replied that he
regretted that he was unable to yield. but
this was impossible in view of the legiti-
mate demands OF the Bulgarians and the
national sacrifices which had been made.
