the public took in the affair. Owing to
the fact that secrecy as to the exact hour
of the ceremony had been carefully main
tained, and the fact that the weather
was not inviting, the crowd was not as
large as had been feared.
The morning was ushered in with a
heavy snow storm, which later turned
into rain. There was a cessation of the
rainfall about noon, but the day contin-
ued cloudy and threatening. The crowd
about the church were. not of the city's
fashionables but the took-a-day people
were there in force. The guests began
to arrive at the church shortly before 5
O'Clock. AS they entered, they were re-

including the King of Greece, the Duke
of Sparta, the crown Prince and other
members OF the royal family, the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps, and many
other prominent persons.
The hills surrounding the Stadion were
fairly black with spectators thousands
of whom were too poor to pay the small
enthusiasm were displayed. The Ameri-
cans who took part IN today's events ap-
peared to be in excellent form and they
won their victories with much apparent
ease. In the discus throwing, Captain
Robert Garrett Of Princeton University,
won. His throw was considered some
thing phenomenal by the spectators
He threw the discus 2S-15 meters, de

CRIED DEATH TO SPAIN.
Treasonable Shouts Cause Great Excite
ment in spanish Theatre.

Barcelona, April s.-During the per-
formance of q patriotic play at the No
vedades theatre, ths audience cheered for
Spain and Spanish Cuba. Some voices
answered the cheers with cries of "Dsath
to Spain P' "Long Live Free Cuba p'
These treasonable shouts excited the
widest indignation among the. loyalists,
and it probably would have gone hard
with the shouters had they been caught
by the people. In the tumult, however,
they sll escaped but two, who were ar
rested by the police. One of the prisoners
is Cuban and the other is believed to be
an anarchist. The police had hard work
to defend the two men from the fury OF
the crowd.

LADIES RETALlATE.
Theatrical Reform Seems to Be on the
Boom in Ohio.

Cincinnati, April 5.-Several women of
this city have decided upon a plan of
"getting even" for the passage of the
Fosdiok Anti-High Theatre Hat bill
One Of them said:
"We will avenge ourselves by intro
ducing bill in the Ohio legislature by
which the men will be subjected to
as big snub as the women were. The
bill will be drawn up in few days with
the same provisions and fines to be In
hicted upon theatre goers and managers
as provided for in the Fosdick bill for
each person found leaving his seat dur
ing an intermission at the theatre or
found splitting tobacco juice on the floor.

ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.]

Washington, April 6.-This being the
first Monday Of the month and suspension
day under the rules the liver and harbor
bill was brought up and passed. The
provision for Portland harbor passed just
as recommended by the committee. The
advantage of passing the bill under sus-
pension was that no amendments could
be offered. With the power of amend
msnt on such bill, there is always danger
OF log rolling schemes to increase the ap-
propriations. The bill passed by much
more than the necessary two-thirds and
as the Senate rarely cuts down any az
preparation it is probably that the provi-
sion forPortland harbor is safe

Gen. Harrison's cabinet were unable to
be present: Ex- Postmaster General
Wanamaker, ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Charles Foster, ex-Secretary of War
Readdeld Proctor and ex-Seoretary of

time after the guests had arrived, a deep
silence prevailed In the church. With
two or three exceptions the costumes of
the women were subdued in color, and
only an occasional gay Easter bonnet
lent life to the scene.
Prof. VIM. W. Warren, the church or
ganist, rendered few preliminary selec-
tions from the great masters; still the
scene seemed cold and almost gloomy.
One could hardly realize that wedding
of national Importance was about to be
solemized. Gen. Harrison and Gen. Ben

in carriages at the church at s. 90 and
went to the vestry, where they awaited
thesarrival of the bride.

dark trousers and white gloves. In. the
lapel of his coat was boutonnierre of
