Banquet IN Honor of Her Coming Marriage
Costly Wedding Presents.
BERLIN, Oct. 14-A banquet was given
tonight in honor of Princess Sophie, who
is soon to be married to the Duke of Spart,
Crown Prince of Greece. The Princess sat
between her mother. Empress Frederick.
and Empress Augusta Victoria, and oppo-
site Emperor William. All the members of
the imperial family, the Ministers and Sec
retarles of State, and number Of promi-
nent army officers were present. The Greek
minister was also q gnest. A state
reception followed the banquet.
Emperor Frederick wore mourning.
Out of respect for the memory of the late
Emperor Frederick there was no music at
the banquet. Princess Sophie wore dress
of white tulle and a parure of brilliants.
The trousseau and most of the wedding
gifts of the Princess have already been sent
to Athens. The Emperor and Empress have
given her splendid parure of diamonds,
representing the national col0rs of Greece.
Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales
have sent o complete set of similar stones,
consisting of tiara, necklace. bracelets
and a kraffe. An artist has completed full
length portraits of the bride and BRIDE
groom. Photographs of the Princess and
her fiance have been sent to Queen Vic
toria. The English admirals now here
took luncheon with Empress Frederick
this afternoon and attended the reception
in the evening.

LONDON IMPROVEMENTS.
Fear that the County Council Will Do Some
thing OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Owners.

Fear that the County Council Will Do Some
thing obstructive Owners.
LONDON, Oct. 14.-All sorts of disasters
have been confidently predicted as the
result of the County Councils sway in
London, and it is useless to deny that in
other quarters than the ultra Conservative
fear Is felt. as to the issue of some of the
measures proposed, which, it is confidently
asserted, are being considered. The Marquis
of Salisbury, among others, stoutly opposed
the creation of the body, and his efforts to
deprive it of its power for mischief may
yet effect serious results, especially if he is
aided by the Council itself by such unpopu-
lar measures as the closing of places of
amusement because some of the female
habitues are not all that could be desired.
Great real estate owners, like the Duke
of Westminster, are opposing with all
means In their power improvements in
yOlvlng the sequeStratiOn of ground in the
heart of the city for widening some streets
and piercing new thoroughfares TO relieve
the congested state of some of the main
avenues of traffic. A new outlet from the
Strand to Holborn will involve the demoli-
ti0n of line of buildings, not very orna-
mental to be sure, but yielding large rem
tails. and the owners are frantic with in
digpation at what they do not hesitate to
call robbery. The amount of compensation
in such cases is always unsatisfactory. and
it is certain that the scheme for street i'm
provements will bring upon the heads of
Council perfect avalanche of lawsuits.
Visitors TO London, as wei as residents,
will hail with joy the widening of the
Strand. but the owners of buildings on
that great thoroughfare are much con-
cerned at the threatened obstruction of all
business while the improvements are being
made and the consequent loss of rents.

Threats Of the Mayor Cause Electric-Mght
Companies to Shut Off Their Circuits.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14-It has now been de-
cided that all electric-light wires above
ground must go. All the companies dong
business in the city have got out injunc-
tions restraining the Mayor from interfer-
ing with their wires, but way around
these injunctions has been discovered.
Under the laws of the State no injunctions
can be served on the Board of Health, un-
less eight days notice has been given. and
should the courts make the injunctions
against the Mayor permanent, the Board of
Health will take the matter in hand. and
before eight days have passed not wire
will be left above ground.
At 4 o'clock, the Supreme Court being
still occupied with other cases, the argu-
ment, on the inlanctions was post
pOned until tomorrow. Counsel for
the United States and Brush companies
announced that meanwhile the current
would be shut of from their circuits 80
that no danger would exist. This action
plunged a large section of the city into

to intensity the effect produced by the alb
sence of artificial light. Late in the after
noon the two companies notified Superin-
tendent of Police Murray of their determine.

The Elective Franchise Given to Those Who
Accept Lands I'm Severaity.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-The Indian as a
political factor is feature of politics
which is likely, in the near future. to at
tract public attention. BY recent acts of
Congress, every Indian over twenty-one
years of age who receives an allotment of
land in severalty becomes voter. clothed
with every attribute that attaches to cit
izenship. The successful termination Of
the negotiations with the Sioux Indians.
by which they surrender o large part of
their reservation in Dakota, will, it is esti-
mated, by next year throw into the politics
of the State the uncertain quantity of 4.937
voters. This vote, thrown soldly, as it
probably will be, in both State and ma
tional elections, is likely to become an i'm
portant factor in that State. Negotiations
now in progress with other Indian tribes
will soon make many thousand more In
dian voters. At the Interior Department
it is thought that upward of 10000 Indians
will be entitled to vote in the next presi-
Dental election. How the red man will
conduct himself as part and parcel of the
Nation, and not as its ward, will be
watched with interest by all who are in
terested in the solution of the Indian prob
lem.

King Milan Says His AbdicatiOn Was Fina
--Natalie's Refusal to Leave Belgrade.

King Milan Says His Abdicati0n Was Final
--Natalie's Refusal to Leave Belgrade.
LONDON, Oct. 14.-A Partisan journal has
been interviewing ex-King Milan. of Servia,
who says very emphatically that his abdi-
cation of the Servian throne was not only
sincere but was intended to be final, and
resume power in Servia and has no political
aims in that country. He was not at all
surprised at the conduct OF his former
Queen, Natalie, in Belgrade at the present
time. She was always fond of kicking up a
row upon the slightest provocation. or no
provocation at all, and the present peculiar
condition of -affairs' ir' 'Hervia gave her an
opportunity she could not ignore. He
ridiculed the suggestion that the ex-Queen
had any assurance OF support from Russia,
but admitted that her game was to convince
the Servians that Russia stood behind her.
The refusal of the Queen to leave Servia
is still creating a great deal of comment.
1t will be remembered that two weeks ago
General Gruitch, the Servian Premier, in
an interview with ex-Queen Natalie, pro-
posed to her an arrangement by the terms
of which she and ex-King Milan were only
to visit Belgrade hereafter for three weeks,
twice a year. and if they agreed to this they
would then each be received with equal
royal honors in the palace at the capital.
