LONDON, July 6.-The event of the day is
the marriage of q granddaughter Of Queen
Victoria, the Princess Victoria Louise of
Schleswig- Holstein, to Prince Aribert OF An
hult Dessau. The marriage is lucky one for
Aribert. who is a fortuneless younger son OF
Of the ruler of a cheap principality. and is
about twenty seven years of age, or six
years older than his bride. who IS
one of the best looking of the queens des-
cendants. Royal intermarriages with cheap
German primo celings are not popular Just now
with any class of English people from the top
down. and to-day's affair has failed 10 evoke
much enthusiasm or congratulations any
where outside of the royal family and the
Kaiser's household, the young princess being
on her fathers side. q near relative OF the
Kaiserine. II Aribert expects to get q
snug allowance out of parliament or any 81
lowance at all he will probably be disap-
pointed, judging from the cool way IN which
tho press treat the event and the common
talk of people in London. When it comes to
the grandchildren of the Queen, outside OF
the direct succession 10 the throne, there IS
decided unwillingness TO add to the burden OF
the taxpayers However Aribert. who has had
aconnection with the household troops Of the
Queen for some time, will it is supposed, have
no trouble in foraging on his grandmother for
q living.
KING, QUEEN AND PRINCE.
The ceremony took place in ST. Georges
chapel. Windsor, and the Queen, the Kaiser,
the Prince of Wales the Kaiserine and host
Of royal celebrities were present. The Princess
of Wales riyaled the German Empress IN
amiable cOngratulation to the married couple,
and the Kaiser showed a disposition TO embrace
the bride but was evidently frowned out OF the
idea by the Kaserne. The generous allowance
by Parliament TO the Princess Helen. mother
OF the bride, and the hberafity of Grand
mother Victoria has enabled her to enter on
married life with q trousseau OF bewiidering
extravaganza, carriage dresses, tea gowns;
evening dresses and all kinds of dress and
other proofs Of luxury enough to stir the de-
votion of other German princes for the re-
naming granddaughters Of Queen Victoria.
TIE KAIsEa's CELEBRATED CHARGERS.
Not content with crowdng Windsor Castle
and the hotels with his retainers, the German
kaiser has also bileted on the royal stables
his celebrated chargers, so well known at the
German reviews He intends to prance
around on his own horses at the various pub
lie functions in which he IS to take part. IL is
a rule of the Emperor never 70 ride or 70
drive any horses but those from his own
stables.
FRANCE STIRRED UP.
A Paris dispatch says that a profo und i'm
preston has been created there by the en-
thnsiasm and cordiality of the British re-
cepton to the Kaiser. 1t is universally
regarded as proof that England will be found
with the triple alliance in European war,
and France and Russia would have TO
calculate on the hostility OF the British
feet The.public sentiment IL very strong
against England, and almost no other
political matter is topic Of public discussion.
There is no concealment Of the feeling that
she odds against France and Russia have been
increased TO degree that arouses the great
apprehension as 10 the possible result OF
war. and while this has with many tendency
to discourage warlike agitation others urge an
early Quarrel before the driebund becomes
soidifed and while England is yet bound
by no formal agreement tc sustain Tho cause
of the alliance.
RUSSIA AND THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
The answer of Russia TO the renewal Of the
triple alliance has been the addition of two
more regiments TO the force in VOlhynia near
the Austrian frontier and increased activity
in the construction of ironclads. The Rus
sian Government, says Vienna dispatch. is
not believed TO be ready for conflict at this
time or likely to be ready in the course OF
this year. All indications point TO the
strengthening of feet and army for date be-
yond 1891.
The investigation into the kidnapping of
Russian women from places near the Turkish
Asiatic frontier has it is said. pointed clearly
TO completely on the part of Russian local au-
thcrlties who have been driving lucrative
traffic in aiding Turkish slave-traders to sb-
duct females from Russia for sale to Turkish
harems. As the investigation, if pursued,
would strike persons high in public favor
and valued for their services in otherrespects,
it is understood that the inquiry will end in
warning to local officials that the kidnap-
ping must be discontinued under peril OF pun
ishment.
