TO WE'D This WEEK
Mr.. Walter DamrOSch and Miss
Margaret Blaine.
The Outcome of Mr.. Carnegie's
Coaching Tour.

The Social Aspect of the Jaunt Only Re-
Gently Brought to Light-Mrs. Grundy
for Once Behindhand-TO Be Home
Wedding, and as Quiet as Circumstances
win Admit-The Wedding.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-The notable
coaching tour which Mr.. Andrew
Carnagie gave three years ago with Mr..
Blaine as his guest of honor, was pro-
ductive of much political gossip, but for
once Mrs. Grundy was behindhand, and
it is only within the last year that the
social aspect of the coaching event has
been brought to light.
Mr.. Walter Damrosch and Miss Mar
garet Blaine were the two young people
on the excursion, and the romance that
began then will end in the wedding this
week. Most of the details are arranged.
II will be home wedding, and as quiet
an affair as the prominence of both par
ties and the mourning of the Blaine
family will admit. The ceremony will
take place at o'clock, and that will pre-
clude full dress and give quiet tone to
the affair that would be impossible in
the evening.
Although Miss Blaine was confirmed
the Sunday before Easter at st. Johns
church, the Rev. DIR. Hamlin, of the
Church of the Covenant, the admins
tration church, has been chosen to Off
ciate mt the ceremony. There will be no
bridesmaids, nor will there be a best
man.
The bride and groom will enter the
drawing room together. 1t is said that
the floral decorations will be fabulously
beautiful, that the bridal couple will
stand upon mat of white flowers, with
border Of ferns, while a bower of white
flowers and vines will make a back
ground and canopy for them.
The Trousseau.
The wedding trousseau is elaborate in
every detail, as Mrs. Blaine has the New
England idea Of starting bride on her
new journey with fine supply of house
hold as well as personal linen.
The housekeeping linen has all been
woven on special hand looms by a firm
in France. The table linen will bear the
newest designs, prominent among them
being the fieur de lis. The brides mon
ogram is embroidered in white silk upon
each piece.
Miss Blaine has been well trained in
nOuSeWueIy pursuits during Ine past
season. She has done all the family
marketing this winter Monday she be-
gan her week of seclusion, and her place
was taken by her pretty sister Hattie,
who went to market with Mrs. Hit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carnagie are the guardian
spirits of the occasion. The courtship
began under their auspices, and the
honeymoon will be prolonged under
their hospitable roof in Scotland.
Mr.. and Mrs. Damrosch will spend the
first week of their honeymoon at the
Baltimore home of Mr.. and Mrs. EN-
mons Blaine, who have placed it at their
disposal, and on the 28d they will prob
ably sail for Europe with Mr.. and Mrs.
Carnegie, in whose company they will
spend the summer abroad.
1t is said that the wedding gift of Mr..
and Mrs. Carnegie will be a handsome
suggestion of Mr.. Damroschs profession.
The silver tea service, the gift of the dip
lomatic corps, was sent to Miss Blaine
Monday morning, and is the handsomest
present ever given on "joint account" in
this CITY,

Britain's Statesman Takes a Peep at
America Through Free Trade Glasses.
LONDON, May 14.-There was a nota-
BILE gathering of free traders at the Cob
den club Monday, the occasion being the
presentation of an address to Mr..
Thomas Bayley Potter, Gladstcnian
member of parliament for Rochdale.
Mr. Potter for several years occupied the
position of honorable treasurer of the
club, and is recognized as one of the
highest authorities on tariff in En-
gland
Free Trade.
The address was presented by Mr..
Gladstone, who, in the course Of his
speech, said that free traders must rec
ognize with great disappointment how
much ground had been lost by their doc
trine within the last twenty-five years.
Militarism, which lay like a vampire
over Europe, was responsible for much
of the mischief, but not for ell, because
free trade had receded in countries
where militarism did not prevail-in the
United States and in the British colo
nies. Protection was applied now in
America, not only to goods, but to per-
sons as was instanced by the treatment
of the Chinese.
The great republic had never accept
ed the doctrines of free trade. At one
time there had been kind of qualified
progress toward them, but this being
checked, opinion became actually re-
Progressive. Still, the growing strength,
activity and clearness Of conviction of
the free trade American party gave a
favorable promise of ultimate triumph
at the polls. On looking over the world,
the prospects of free trade were certain
ly not encouraging. This state of opin-
ion had emboldened the champions of
protection, long lurking in their holes,
to venture out and renew the struggle
under the name of fair trade.
BimetaIisin.
Regarding bimetalisn, Mr.. Gladstone
said he believed its advocates smelt
therein a speedy rise Of prices. 1t was
a movement in the direction of protec-
tion. Since the adoption of free trade
the wages of laboring men had improved
80 per cent. England was working out
great social and economic problem for
the benefit of the world. He was conf
dent that free trade, though temporarily
discredited, was destined to become the
universal charter of trade, and to obtain
the general acceptance of civilized
nations.
Chinese Exclusion.
Mr.. Gladstone also referred to the an
ti-Chinese legislation in the United
States. Owing to the ambiguity of the
legislation on the Chinese question, he
said, he was not altogether clear whether
the American government taxed Chinese
who entered, or barred them all out.
Anyway, he thought, that the Chinese
were to be dreaded more for their vir-
tues than their vices, which he did not
believe to be nearly SO extensive or
fragrant as the grounds taken for their
exclusion alleged.
In an interview subsequently, Mr..
Potter declared it to be his conviction
that the tariff question would again be
the issue in the presidential campaign
in America in 1899, when the free
traders, or tariff reformers would, in all
probability, be successful.
