Hungary on the occasion OF the recent

sanctity of the marriage ties and TO en-

civil marriages and the illegitimste

steamer ]. W. Thompson that reached
the wharf here last night. They had
run swsy from the country house on
the Lower Potomac and were anxious
to get their marriage license and tie
the knot as soon as possible. The
captain drew the facts from the girl by
conversation and the points in the
case soon spread among the passen-

Intellectual. AS the steamer land
ed at her wharf Capt. Barker
walked out on the main deck as Brad
ford and his expeetant bride were
passing over the gang plank. He at
once shouted TO Officer King TO arrest
the couple; that the young lady was a
fugitive from her parents, whom he
knew would not sanction her marriage
to Bradford. The couple, on being
placed under arrest, willingly accom-
panied the officer to the Fourth Pre-

Mr.. Chamberlain said he would
always favor large scheme Of State

RussIa's Connection With the Coup
d'Etat Explained by DE Glers.

BERLIN, August 27.-M. de Giers,
Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs,
yesterday issued a circular from
Franzsnbad, Bohemia, where he is
staying, explaining Russia's connee-
pm with the Bulgarian coup d'etat.
II. de Giers declares that Russia could
never approve OF the circumstances a.
tending Prince Alexander's abdica-
cation. "The Bulgarisns,, who favored
the deposition of Prince Alexander"
NJ, de Giers. continues, Undoubtedly
followed their natural feelings, there
by removing the obstacles which dis
turbed the close union of the Bull
garisns-liberated by heavy and unset
fish tacrifcas-snd their kindred, the
Russian people"
The circular then contains the fol-
lowing: From the moment when,
with genuine astonisLment, we learn
ed how the deposition was misunder-
stood, We instructed our agents in
Bulgaria to exert their influence to
secure a reversion of what had hap
peued, and not leave a trace of sus-
picion that Russia's action had any
influence in the affair. The Bulgar-
ians, by their attitude in. the deposit
ton, manifested the greatness of their
sympathy with their liberator; but
By following our will in overthrowing
tie provisional government and re-
calling Prince Alexander, they have
proved their deep devotion to Russia
and have made the tie between Russ
and Bulgaria indiesoluble. They have
attained the highest degree OF loyalty,
and have shown the highest regard
for those principles Of moDarchicsl
order and stability, of which Russla
is the constant and resolute represen-
tative. This is the key to the ex-
PLANTATION Of the apparently conflict
ING events in Bulgaria. When We
meet the German Chancellor we shall
explain these events, and we shall
expect from the deep insight OF
this friendly statesman that he
will thoroughly appreciate the sac
rifces which Russia recently made
for Bulgaria in the interest OF
pesce and 10 maintain the principles
OF monarchy, and that he will give the
powerful aid OF his counsel to defn-
itelv establish order in Bulgaria, with
which the peace OF the East is so
closely connected, What Bulgaria did
in moment of unrefecting excite
ment has been repaired through Rus
sian influence. Shall not matters,
therefore, be now settled in definite,

eide at Newport.

CHICAGO, Ill, August 27.-Charley
Vellek, aged 10 years, living at IL
Zion Place, was tempted TO run out
and play last evening withcu. bis
fathers permission and came near
paying the penalty With his life. The
neighboring boys, with whom he had
committed the trsDHgression. not hear
ing any sound OF chastisement peeped
in at the back yard to see what had
become Of their playmate after he had
been dragged in by his father. They
we're shocked to rec the little fellow
hanging to post in the woodshed ap-
parently dead. A rope had been
passed around his neck and chest, and
his arms were extend ed and tied to
other points OF the well. He was black
in the face and unconscious. A cry
that Charley was dead or diving, went
up from the horrihed children and
Kate Dvorak, domestic employed at
the adjoining house, went out to see
what the matter was. She seized a
Ratchet and cut the child down. He
was senseless. The girl picked him
up and carried him in to her mistress,
where N sans were taken TO rest ore life.
When these were partially successful
he went into violent commissions. 1t
was an hour before he could stand up.
His father had tied him up. An o.
ficer was notified aud Michael Vellek
spent the night in the station. In the
West Twelfth Street Police Court this
morning Vellek, sullen looking b.
hemian, was arraigned for his act. He
appeared Indifferent and expressed no
desire to excuse himself or explain
matters. Justice White decided to
hold him in $1,000 bond until tomof-
row to obtain the testimony Of the
physician who attended the child be-
fore fixing the penalty or senling the
case TO the grand jury.
