 LONDON, July 1.-The State ball at Buckingham Palace last evening ex- celled in splendor anything of the kind that the palace has ever witnessed. The ball was given strictly in honor of the Kaiser.
 All the leading nobility of the king dom were invited, excepting those who, from Queen Victoria's view, are under a cloud, for the invitations were submitted to and carefully revised by the Queen.
 The palace was guarded by the House hold troops in their striking uniforms, while the peers with their decorations the leading officers of the army and navy now in England, and the diplomatic corps in their picturesque costumes pre- sented & spectacle of brilliancy that some say has not been equalled since the cor onation of Queen Victoria.
 It was whispered that the Queen h er- self meant it to be the last great act of her reign in the way of official and so- cial entertainment to foreign sovereign, and that she had made @ labor of pride as well as love to do this great, and per hAps final honor, to her powerful grand son. No expense appears to have been spared on the ball room and it's ap- decorations was at once bewildering and entrancing. The palace, whose exist ence Is coeval with the reign of the Queen, has never before contained such a dist inguished gathering

Dom Pedro, ex-Ruler of Brazil, Passes
a Away in Paris.
PARIS, Dec. 5.-Dom Pedro, the ex-
lied emperor of Brazil, died shortly
after midnight. Early in the evening
the physicians in attendance on Dom
Pedro had little hope of his recovery.
He had relapse at that time. His
ri ght lung was completely clogged.
Dom Pedro died at the Hotel Bedford
five minutes after midnight. The fever
had been increasing since o'clock this
evening, when Dr. Chaarcot was sum-
moned hastily and remained in attend
ance at the death bed with the princess
and Count D'Eu. The disease with
which the ex-emperor was afflicted was
diabetes.
1t is said that the last conscious words
of Dom Pedro were an expression of his
deep affection for Brazil, and his regret
that he could not 60 back there to die.
His death will probably put an end for
ever to the attempts to revive the Bra
lillian empire.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 5.-John Ander-
son, of San Rafael, CAL, claims in bill
filed in the United States circuit court
that he hasn't been fairly treated by the
officers of the 1Arcadian Mineral Springs

Another Sensational Divorce Case in the
London Courts.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-London is certainly
having surfeit of separation and d.
vorce cases. Tho Russell case is no
sooner ended than the scene shifts, re-
vealing further marital infelicities. This
time, however, the parties involved do
not belong to the peerage, but are
well known to the jeuraese doree
and the theater-going public Of
England and the United States. The
parties to this latest suit are Miss
Florence st. John, the actress, and
Duplany Marius, and the charges made
against the latter are the only ones
upon which an absolute divorce can be
obtained in England, namely cruelty
and infdelity.
Miss st. John charges that since her
marriage to the defendant he has
treated her in most cruel manner,
and that he has also been intimate with
other women. The case came up TODAY
before Justice Jeune, In the divorce
division of Her Majesty's high court of
justice. Sir Charles Russell appeared
for the petitioner and G. F. Gill for
the respondent. Mr. Gill admitted
that the charge of infdelity was true,
but claimed that it had not occurred un-
I'll after Miss st. John had deserted her
husband
Sir Charles Russell stated that Marius
and Miss St. John fell in love with each
other when they were both married
persons. They 80 far forgot their
duties to their respective partners
that the procuring of a divorce by
Mrs. Marius and another by Miss St.
Johns husband was rendered neces-
sary. After these divorces had been
granted Marius married Miss st. John.
The couple did not live happily,
and scenes of violence were fire.

1t not been for the fact that her brother
was III the house there is no saying how
his violence would have ended. After
this trouble they no lived together as
man and wife.
Miss st. John was called to the wit
ness-box to testify as to her charges.
She said she met Marius at the Strand
Theater, in London, in 1879. After he
had been divorced from his wife
and she from her husband,
she married him. This was in
1880. In 1886 child was born

Cleveland Tells What the Democratic
Campaign Issue Should Be.


CANTON, O., Dec. 4.-The Young
Mems Democratic Club of Canton cele-
brated with a banquet last night the
fourth anniversary of the issuance of
Grover Cleveland's tar1ff-reform mess
age. Letters of regret were read from
ex-President Cleveland, Cows. Camp
bell, of Ohio; Boies, of Iowa, and Rus
sell, of Massachusetts. Mr.. Cleveland,
in his letter, said in part:
regret that am unable to attend the
meeting. The value and significance of
this occasion, it seems to me, are found in
the evidence it furnishes of determine
ton to push the issue of tariff reform in
practical and effective manner. 1t is
the duty of the Democratic party to
do this, and expediency as well
as duty fOrbids any backward step
or faltering. No party can succeed which
deliberately reIinquiSheS principle on the
the eve of its vindication, and no party
ought to succeed which, having led men to
an honest examination of a question
vital to their interest and welfare,
abandons their guidance and leaves
them in doubt and perplexity.
The confidence born of partial
success and the assertion of the claims of
any individual to party leadership ought
not to divert us from the duty we owe to
the people. Our obligation to them will
not be discharged until in every hamlet
nd neigh borhOod in the land our cause is
o presented 10 our cOuntrymen that they
can no longer be deceived through blum
derS. nor corrupted through differences.

THEORIES of the Police in the New York
Bomb Case.

Theories of the Police in the New York
Bomb Case.
New YORK, Dec. 5.-While the at
tempt to extort 81 100000 from Russell
Sage, followed by the frightful bomb
explosion in his Office, may have been
the work of a mailman, the authorities
are convinced that deep-laid plot is
back of it.. Sensational developments
may be expectedat any time. Inspector
Byrnes is exerting himself to try and
locate the identity of "Wilson,"
Lloyd" or "Walsh," the bomb throw
er. The entire detective force has been
pressed into service, and before the day
Is over the inspector expects to have
some material information to give out.
AT 10 O'Clock this morning, Mr.. Os-
borne, chief clerk of Russell Sage, said
that arrangements had been made for
the temporary transaction of the
business of Mr.. Sage's office
at the office of Caldwell &
Bunker. brokers, on the second floor of
"a Broadway. Mr.. Osborne had force
OF young men at work overhauling q
great pile of rubbish picking out vaiua-
bic papers which the explosion had
scattered all over the premises.
The 100 shares of c., B. & O..
stock which Mr.. Sage's clerk was
about to hand to clerk Robinson in ex-
change for $4,000 certified check when
the crash came was found at an early
hour this morning, but the check had
not turned up, Mr.. Osborne said he
was looking for permanent office, but
had not yet found a suitable place.
At Messrs. Caldwell & Bunkers office
it was said that Mr.. Sage's name had
been transferred to their tape and that
all inquiries should be directed there
for the present. Mr.. Osborne, they
said, was formerly attached to that o.
flee, and on that account, as
well as disposition to extend
all possible courtesy and aid to Mr.. Sage,
they were glad to give their facilities for
the use of the firm.
Frank Robertson, the young clerk of
Imbrie q Co., brokers, who lives at
Bergen Point, passed quiet night
at the hospital, and his condition
Is spoken of encouragingly. His
right eye has been removed, but
the doctors hope to save the other one.
His other injuries are not regarded seri-
Gus enough to cause apprehension.
VIM. r. Laidlaw, clerk of John Blood
good & Co., bankers, who was in Mr..
Sage's Office when the explosion oc-
Cured, Is doing we'll at st. Vincent's
Hospital.
It is now believed to be an undisput-
ed fact that only two people were
killed-the bomb tbrower and B. F.
Norton, Sage's private secretary. 1t
was said that fragments of at least
three bodies were found, but this can
not be sustained, and no one else is
known 10 be missing.
So thoroughly has Russell Sage recov-
cred from tho effects Of the explosion
that he has just announced his inten-
He will occupy rooms that are now part
of the Manhattan Railroad Company's
offices and next door to those
in which the explosion oc-
Cured. Col. Slocum, Mr., Sage's
cashier, says that the report that the Sc
turtles and bonds had been blown
chrough the window of the offices into
the street is untrue. Not $500 worth of
securities is missing.
