ASTOR'S ASPIRATIONS.
William Waldorf May be Son-in-law
of the Prince of Wales.

New York, Aug. ia London CORE
per today that high life in London has
taken seriously the possibility of Viii
liam Waldorf Astor marrying the
Prince of Wales daughter Victoria.
The drawing rooms and the clubs
have had no sensation like this for
months, nor have they been SO wrought
up.
Ask an EnglishWOman of the court
circle the grounds for alarm, for sup
posing that the son of the queen of
England will permit his daughter to
marry the grandson of a German fur
dealer, and she will answer: But the
diamond he gave the Princess Maud. -
The English gentleman of the old
style conservative type is reticent If
pressed he admits the diamond wedding
present means much. He ends with
some remark of which American cad
is part.
It is not the fact that Mr. Astor's
New York properties have contributed
a gem worth a fortune to the royal
bride, but the circumstance that the
gift was not returned that is signifi-
cant.
At one moment it was reported that
he had in view a marriage with Lady
Randolph Churchill, and many even
went so far as to question her sons as
to the date fixed for the wedding. But
it has since become apparent that w
w. Aston flies at far higher game that
he aims at matrimonial alliance
grander than any that has ever fallen
in fact, than match with British roy
atty in the person of the Princess Vic
tOria, the only unmarried daughter of
the Prince and Princess of Wales.

VESSELS ICE BOUND.
Held Captive Many Days North of
Cape Farewell

Philadelphia, Aug 13.-The officers
of the British bark Iodine, which ar
rived here yesterday from Greenland
with a cargo of kryoIite, believe that if
the Peary expedition fails this season
to locate the north pole that undertake

The Iodine was for three days ice
bound The barks Feroine and Trav-
eler, of the same fleet, Jared worse. The
former for 80 and the latter for IS days
were held captiveS in the ice north of
Cape Farewell.
The Iodine, in command of Capt. Bart
lett, left Boston May 20, for Ivrghet, and
reached that port with little difficulty.
AS soon as her ballast was discharged
she began loading kryolite from the
mines, and June &c, in company with
the bark FluOrine, she was toWed out
of the river by the Danish steamship
Fox.
On every side huge ice islands tow

Iodine was tmbedded in thicl1ly. packed
foe ice, and her officers and crew were
able to get overheard and walk for
miles around the craft. They tried hard
to capture some of the seals, but being
without arms failed. On the night of
June 2 there sprung up a strong breeze
from the nOrthWard, and every possible
stitch of canvas was set on the impris-
Oned bark. Under this great pressure
she worked herself clear of the ice, and
on July 6, in latitude 59.46 longitude

TO FINISH THE MAP OUT
Committee of Fifteen Will Com
plete Festival Programme
At Its Meeting TOnight-Much
Other Business
To be Looked Thirty Business
Floats Already Planned-other
Features.

The Comittee of Fifteen will hold Its
weekly meeting this evening at the
council chamber.
The principal order of business will
be the finishing of the programme
that was so nearly completed last week
but stuck on Mr.. Bryan's date, when
it was proposed that he be asked to
come Saturday.
A committee consisting of A j. Arm
old, D. c. Tfllotson and s. B. BradfGrd
was appointed to see John Martin and
David OVermyer and to find out Whal
date for Mr.. Bryan would be accepta-
bic to them.
Mr.. Martin says that Mr.. Bryan de-
sired that the date be made as late
in the week as possible, and he would
not object to Saturday.
Many of Mr.. Bryan's friends feel
that Saturday is too late in the week,
but the G. A. R people object to haV-
ing him speak in their part of the week
because he is not an old soldier, and
it is said he is not a Son of a Veteran.
The matter will be settled tonight
Since it seems possible that Mr..
Mckinley will not come after all and
he has not been heard from directly on
the subject. and that Mr.. Hobart will
come at any time, a rearrangement of
the programme may yet be necessary
in that particular.
If it should be decided that Mr.. Bry-
an should be here earlier in the week
it might be arranged to have his ad-
dress delivered up town and not inter
fere with the G. A. r. encampment
after all

THIRTY BUSINESS FLOATS
Planned for the Festival
Might Pageant.

The merchants and other business
men who have been holding back some
in building their floats to make sure
that the Committee of Fifteen was
going to do something for certain with
its end of the big parade, need not
hold back longer, and indeed many of
them are not.
The dragon is being constructed in
a closed and curtained room on East
Fifth street free from the rude gaze
of the public, and Prof Worra1 and
his assistants are perspiring bravely
in its construction.
The head and first section will be
completed in very few days and the
other 20 sections will be comparatively
easy.
Besides the Don Quixote end of the
procession at least 80 different firms
and organizations will have elegant il
Illuminated floats.

beside a bass drum much larger than
herself and hammered one of its sheep
skin heads every time she was war

music. The other IA played comets

in banking circles here that strong
the treasurers OF western states to
induce the withdrawal Of state funds
deposited in New York Complaint is
made that the metropolitan banks
are cl.rtailing loans and marking up
rates for money for political effect,
and the argument is advanced that
the western states should retaliate by
withdrawing from these banks public
moneys on deposit at this center and
held subject to the demands of the
several state treasurers. A concerted
call of this character would. it is said,
mean a draft on New York exceeding
