false stories about you which have been in

Chancellor Bismarck in DisfaYor.
ASSOCIATED PRESS coPYR1eHr.

BERLIN, July 12.-Emperor William. on
arriving at Eide. Thursday. sent dispatches
to Chancellor Capriyi announcing his iG-
tention to shorten his voyage and return To-
Kiel July 21st. The gravity of the sitaa-
ti0n in the Balkans and the increased pros
pect of trouble with France over the Anglo
German agreement, makes necessary
the Emperor's presence, and keeps both
the Chancellor and Minister Miguel from
taking holiday.
Although the prospects for a permanent
peace in Europe begin to appear doubtful
official confidence remains strong. Even
the probable abdication of Prince Ferdi-
nand will only be sequent, and Bulgaria
will. not be allowed to involve an immediate
war.
The maintenance of peace, according 10
an official view, is certain until after the
conference between the Emperor William
and the Gar, when the resources of diplo-
macy will be exhausted in a final effort to
harmonic the Austrian and Russian reIa-
tions in the Balkan Peninsula.
The Berliner Tagblatt has a telegram from
Rome which purports TO give information drawn
from Prime Minister Crispl. In this 1t is as
serted that the Cars advisors, considering the
time oppOrtune, insist upon war. The chiefs OF
the Drebund, the telegram says Will make
united efforts to maintain peace.
w. w. Phelps, the American Minister, has re-
ceyed from Hamburg a copy of the petition
witch has been sent to Chancellor Won -Caprivs,
and which bears the signatures Of the various
steamship companies and leading firms and
DoratiOns. The petitions ask for a resembling OF
the prohibition OF American pork. They urge
that Germany cannot produce enough pork
10 satisfy her own wants. The price Of
pOrK has raised so enormously that poor people
cannot buy it. The wholesale price of German
saltea bacon is 13o marks per 100 Kilograms,
at 50 marks. Pork is imported from the neigh
boring States. and although bringing high prices
is not as good as the American article
When prohibition was enacted there was
no official examination of pork In America.
whereas the United States Government IS now
ready TO make whatever inspection Germany
may asR. When American cork was allowed 10
enter the county no case OF illness had ever
been addueed TO Its use. II American in,pec-
ton sh )uld be insufficient there could be one
made In Germany as well.
The official feeling against Prince Bismarck
has been heightened since the report OF an inter
View with him appeared In Frankfort Journal.
Even his friends admit that he has been indis-
Greet in the revelation Of know ledge obtained by
him while In office. His statements that The EN-
peTors labor programme as originally skeIched
was much more eXtravagant than as issued, aud
that his MaJestys supposed programme would
tell at the elections, have ineeUSed Chancellor
Won Caprlyi aud other Ministers, and some Of his
statements VIII lead 10 energetic TemOnsIrances
on the return OF The Emperor William.

A BRILLIANT GATHERING.
1t Is impossible to enumerate even the
principal figures in the very brilliant COM

STANLEY APPEARS.
Stanley entered The Abbey shortly before
O'clock. He walked erect uD the lGansept, show
ing no signs OF Illness and TOOK a seat near the
altar. Count DarOche, the representative OF
King Leopold OF Belgium, aud the gToom's best
man, Nh Meyers, bTuther-ln-law OF Miss len

son and Lieutenants Stairs ana Bonny, VINO
were with Stanley on his last expedition,
grouped themselves around Stanley. FIVE
minutes later Miss Tenant, accompanied
by her brother, Charles Coombe Tennant,
tered the Abbey and walked with stately grace
along the aisle. Her train was borne by TWO OF
beI nephews dressed as DaPes OF the time OF
Charles l. The bridesmaids were Miss Sylvia
Meyers, the BRIDES niece and Miss Flulay, both
Of whom are very pretty.

wore an aigrette and diamond brooch, gifts OF
Stanley.
While moving toward the altar the bride
stopped walked slowly TO the tablet under which
lies the dust OF Livingstone ana placed thereon
wreath of white flowers, in the center of which
place, she walked 10 the altar with head erect
and flushed cheeks.
Stanley rose to receive her, and the services

run him against Salvador at a mile and three
quarters. AT that distance the King OF the Turf
would simply have made 4 offin-plate of him.

Frustrated themselves before it. In one of his
letters Stanley wrote such a narrowing account
Of the sutferngs OF his band and gave such a
vivid picture Of the death OF gigantic negro
slowly swallowed by huge serpent that Miss
Tenant sw0oned after reading ii.
Stanley brought most extraordinary collec-
tion Of curi0s home for his bride. He declares
that he will never permit bis wife 10 share the
dangers OF exploration, and that il he goes again
TO Africa she must remain at home or In Egypt
until lie returns.
Among his many congratulations Mr.. Stanley
received autograph letters Fl ON the Emperor Of
Germany, King Leopold OF Belgium and other
sOyereigns. Queen Isabella OF Spain not only
gave him her hand TO kiss at Lord Sasbnry's
reception The other night, but insisted on shaking
hands with him, and wishing him not only we'd

horses attached to his milk wagon started

Pauman endeavored to hold the fright

struck the curb. The unfortunate driver
was thrown from his seat and pitched
heavily OH the pavement. He was picked
up in an unconscious condition and taken
