AT Jeffersonville Mr.. Bryan said he was
glad to speak in a city named in honor of
Thomas Jefferson, because we are in this
campaign attempting to revive the prin-
ciples of Jefferson and apply them to the
solution of the question of to-day" At
New Albany he made his favorite argu-
ment: shall the Americans have a finan-
cial system of their own shall they make
a new Declaration of independence? Mr.
Thomas Jefferson, whom he euogized and
who drafted the Declaration of Independ-
ence which he twists to his purpose said:
Just principles will lead us to disregard
legal proportions altogether; to inquire into
the market price of gold in the several
countries with which we shall principally
be connected in commerce, and to take an
average from them Bryan repudates the
lust principles advocated by Jefferson.

Mr.. Bryan is wrong about the Australian

Newport, r. l., August 25.-The we'd
ding of Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt to Har-
ry Payne Whitney, oldest son of the for
mer secretary of the navy, William c.
Whitney, took place at noon to-day at
"The Breakers, the Vanderbilt summer
residence. Although the wedding has
been awaited with great interest, it was
in way disappointment to the exclu-
sive set in society here, owing to its sim
plicity. This was necessarily so on ac-
count of the state of Mr.. Vanderbilt's
health, his physician thinking it unwise
for him to undergo anything but the
quietest ceremony. Therefore, outside of
the Immediate bridal party only about
fifty persons were present.
The legal marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. George +. Magill. d. d,
rector of Trinity Church, of which Mr.
Vanderbilt is member. 1t was origi-
nally intended that Bishop Potter should
act in this capacity, but Rhode Island
laws forbid clergyman from another
State to perform u wedding ceremony
here. Therefore the plan was changed
and Bishop Potter delivered the benedic-
ton.
The members of the bridal party adj
vancing from different apartments along
the upper hall met at middle landing on
the grand staircase. Thence the bride
and groom together proceeded to the
priedieu, where the words that made them
one were spoken.
Miss Vanderbilt's gown as well as that
of each of her bridesmaids was from
Paris. The BRIDES costume was of white
watered silk, trimmed with old duchesse
lace and pearls. She carried bridal
bouquet of stephnotis and gardenias.
The bridesmaids were the Misses
Sloane, Shepard, Gerry and Taylor
Payne Whitney who has just returned
from Europe, was the best man and the
ushers were Messrs. Frank Polk, Column
bus Baldwin, Rawlins l.. Connenet and
Alfred Vanderbilt, brother of the bride.
After the ceremony the couple passed
into the gray room to recei We their guests.
They occupied position beneath a
bower of tropical foliage, surmounted by
canopy composed of two immense areca
lutescus..
Seven standard blooming rose trees,
eight feet high, alternately white and
pink, formed boundary to the line of
guests.

Washinton, Aust 25.-Minister Yang

rotary Rockhill as to the arrangements for
the reception of Lii Hung Chang at New
York the latter part of the week. The
minister and his numerous suite of sec
retaries, attaches, interpreters, ETC., will
go to New York on Thursday. Mr.. Rock
hill, who will represent the State Depart
ment, will go about the same time. All
the details of the arrangements have been
left with General Kruger, in command Mt
Governors Island, who is acting as the
representative of the Presi lent in this
matter. This transfer of authority from
Washington to New York has caused
some misunderstanding rs to the extent to
which the fleet under Bunce would take
part in the naval demonstration in honor
of the distinguished Chinese guest. Act.
ing Secretary McAdoo said tonight that
there would be no naval demonstration
except such as General Kruger, acting for
the President, might request. In this
connection the Navy Department made
the following official statement:
"The presence of the North Atlantic
squadron at its usual anchorage off
Staten Island at this time has no connec
ton with the visit of Earl Ii the Chinese
ambassador. 1t is in accordance with
the arranged programme of the summer
exercises. The commander. in-chief has
no instructions with reference to the re-
ception of the Chinese ambassador. Major
General Kruger, who represents the Pres
ident, will arrange all the details of the
reception. There will be no naval review
or any action taken by this department
in the matter of the reception unless re-
quested by General Ruger The Dolphin
will report to General Kruger OH the 27th
instant and will be subject to his orders
as long rs Earl Ii remains in this coun-
try"
In accordance with orders issued by
General Kruger four troops of United
States cavalry stationed at Fort Meyer,
near Washington, will leave over the
Pennsylvania tomorrow morning to take
part in the escort of Earl Ii. The horses
and accoutrements will be taken. There
are few cavalry regiments in the East,
and the brilliant uniform CT the troopers,
with yellow trimmings and yellow
plumes, will lend novel and picturesque
feature to the reception. The mounted
cavalry band will accompany the troop
ers. The command will be under Major
General Thomas c. Lobo.
