and offered minority report of the

decency, accord the minority the right
of being heard on the Cuban matter.
Reed ruled Bailey out of order. The
previous question: was then carried,
every republican voting against Bailey,
and the appropriation of $50, 900, for the

the air the strains of the ever familiar
wedding march from "Lohengrin."
Mineing up the aisle, along which it
had been arranged that the wedding
procession was to pass, walked three
small poodles, each in evening dress
and semi-harnessed together with
white ribbon. Following these came
the bride, leaning upon the arm or
rather hand of her mistress, while be-
hind them, walking on his hind feet
and without support, accompanied by
Baron Rothschild, came NJ. Major.
Then came the bridesmaids and
groomsmen, the former wearing white
silk dresses and long wells, the latter
in full dress and adorned with en-
broidered white satin coats. All these
advanced upon their hind legs, but be-
hind them came a host ofcanine guests,
who were permitted to walk as nature
had originally intended they should.
Away down at the further end of the
ballroom the wedding procession was
met by the stanch and sober bulldog
