brought news which leaves very little
doubt that the expedition has come to
grief up north.
Stockbys brother, while hunting
mux, oxen last summer, came across a
party of four white men shooting deer.
A party of Eskimos who were APP
preaching at the time, did not see the
deer and thought that the white men
were shooting at them. They there
upon drew their bows and arrows and
shot two of the whites, killing them
on the spot. The other two ran
away, pursued by the Eslximos, and IL
is not known if they escaped or not.
Stockby's brother saw the two poor
fellows lying dead with arrows through
them. One was a middle-aged man,
short, broad and stout; the other was
a young man. The elder had on a
knickerbocker suit, with striped stock
ings; the younger had on a cloth suit,
and they both had on cheese cutter
or badge-caps. The Eskimos wanted

them, as there was a big round thing

Rear Admiral Bradford
Says Guam Will Be a
Gable Station.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The urgent me-
cessity Of adequate coaling stations for
our warships is dwelt upon by Rear
Admiral Bradford chief of the naval
bureau of equipment, in his report to
the secretary Of the navy. He relates
the difficulties encountered during the
war with Spain in securing coal, trans
porting it and getting it aboard the
ships. While these efforts were sue
cessful, the admiral says it was due
almost entirely to the near proximity
Of the theatre Of war to our own coast.
Admiral Bradford says that United
States fleet, if called upon to act at any
point across the Atlantic, must en-
counter even greater difficulties than
We're found by Admiral Cervera.
AS matter of fact" continues Adj
miral Bradford, sit may be stated
without fear Of contradiction that at
present it would be impossible for a
United States fleet to carry on active
operations during war anywhere
about the coast of Europe, Africa a
large portion of Asia and South Amer
lea, for want of coal.
IHlS country mas assumed a position
of great responsibility in connection
with the maintenance of the sovereign
ty of the South American republics
against any aggression, yet there is not
a single port where coal or supplies
may be obtained in time Of war by a
United States ship anywhere on the
eastern or western coast of South
America. In the West Indies and the
Pacific ocean We are now fairly well
supplied
The report says under Strategic po-
sitions" tina: coaling stations should be
established near the Yucatan passage
the Windward passage. Mona passage
and Virgin passage, all being important
strategic locations. The Importance of
a coaling station on each side of the
isthmus Of Panama cannot be over
estimated.
Guam, it is stated. probably will in
the near future, be cable station, and
it is proposed to store 10000 tons of coal
there. In the survey Of the Pacific
cable route two huge obstacles were
encountered, one a submarine noun
tain lying between the midway islands
and Guam; the second, the deepest
submarine abyss yet found in the
world, about 500 miles east of Guam,
and sinking more than 1900 fathoms.
The soundings have shown the route to
be entirely practicable. A branch will
run from Guam to Japan.

MISTRESS FOR HIS HOME
Simple Ceremony Performed BY Father
Mackin in st. Paul's Catholic Church
Few Witnesses Present Travels
in Public Car to New York
AT Waldorf Astoria.

Washington, Nov. 9-Mrs Mildred
M. Hazen and Admiral George Dewey
were quietly married at 10 o'clock this
morning, at the rectory of st. Paups
Catholic church, 1926 V street, N. w.
The ceremony was performed by Rev
James F. Mackin, pastor of the church,
assisted by Rev. Joseph A. Foley, as
sistant pastor, and Rev Sidney S. Hurl-
but. The ceremony was private, and
of the simplest character The bride
was accompanied by Mrs. Washington
Mclean, her mother and Mrs. Ludlow,
her sister, while Admiral Dewey was
accompanied by Lieut.. Caldwell, his
aide. There were no other guests.
After the ceremony the admiral and
Mrs. Dewey entered a carriage, and
were driven TO the residence of Mrs.
Washington Mclean, where a wedding
breakfast was served. At 1.45 they left
for New York.
At the close of the ceremony, Ad-
miral Dewey grasped Father Mackin' S
hand, and said Father, l am greatly
pleased to have been married by you,
for l know that at one time in your life
you were a sailor
The arrangements for the wedding
were made with the secrecy which has
attended the whole affair After pro-
curing the license for the wedding yes
terday, Lieut.. Caldwell called upon
Father Nackin of ST. Pauls, of which
church Mrs. Hazen is a communicate,
and arranged for the wedding this
morning. AS Admiral Dewey is not a

Mackin from Bishop Curtis, in the abb
sence of Cardinal Gibbons who is in
New Orleans.
At 9.45 a. m. two carriages containing
the wedding party drew up before the
modest red brick rectory, in the rear of
st. Paups. The general public had no
intimation of where the ceremony was
to take place. and not a single specta-
tor was present as the party alighted.
Admiral Dewey and Lieut.. Caldwell
quickly stepped from their carriage and
the admiral assisted the bride and her
mother and sister from the other car
riage.
Mrs. Hazen was dressed in a pearl
gray silk, over which she wore a long
back wrap trimmed with silver fox
and lined with lavender silk. The adj
miral wore a black frock coat gray
trousers and a high hat,
Upon entering the rectory, they were
ushered into the reception room, where
Admiral Dewey was presented to
Father Mackin, and the two clergymen
who were to assist in the ceremony.
Mrs. Hazen removed her wrap and
she and the admiral took their places

room, where the ceremony was per-
formed which made them man and wife

addressed the contracting parties as
follows: Before pronouncing the sol
emn words which will bind you for
ever together, it may be we'll to forget
for the moment the things that are
around us and to look upward We
are the children of God, and we have a
right to call upon him in joy and in

sorrow. We need his help in both
extremes, and never more than now,
for, although the promises you are
about to make are easily made and the
work of a moment, their fulflllment is
the work of a lifetime. We call upon
God to witness and to bless this union
of which he is the author and which
he has made sacred.
No matter how generous and de-
voted you may be to each other, there
are in every life moments of trial when
we, in our weakness, need the help
that comes from above, and his help
will be given in its fullness in return
for the faithful fulfillment of our obli-
cation. The higher your position in
life, the more incumbent upon you is
the faithful fulfllment of your obliga-
ton and the more rigorous the ac-
counts that will be eXacted. The nature
ow upon eternity, but this hour we hope
marks the beginning of a career which
will make you wiser, better and more
useful to your fellow creatures in this
life and the life beyond it, and when
death at last shall break the link that
binds you as death alone can break it,
may your last hour find two hands as
fondly clasped and two hearts as close
ly joined as they are today, and may
the joys of this life be a foretaste of
the joys that are to come"
The ceremony was performed accord
ing to the nuptial rites of the Catholic
church. Including the address of FIR.
Mackin it consumed less than five
minutes.
FIR. Mackin was the first to hail the
bride as Mrs. Dewey. Congratulations
and Fluctuations followed and the cere-
ding party drove direct to the residence
of the brides mother, Mrs. Mclean,
where wedding breakfast was served.

mony, when lad of II. ran away from
home with two other boys ,I'Ta went to

very brief. He said that he found he
was untitled for the life of sailor, and
few months found him back at his

You will, however. no doubt, be great

the present grave state of public af-
fairs. 1t Is my duty to inform you that
our situation in South Africa is the
only part Of our relations with other
nations to which any term of appre-
hension can be applied.
For several years our relations with
and cordial feelings toward our kins-
men on the other side of the Atlantic
have been constantly growing, and,
though neither we interfere in their
affairs, or they interfere in the affairs
Of ours, we feel we can now always
look for sympathy and a fair hearing
among those who share with us so vast
mission for the advancement of man
kind.
CORDIAL RELATIONS WITH
AMERICA.
But perhaps you think I am san
guine in saying that on the continent
of Europe we have no hostility to fear.
There is undoubtedly a certain acer-
bity of tone among the writers for the
foreign press; but do not believe that
the trend of this opinion affects the
/ peoples of foreign nations. l am quite
certain it does not affect their govern
ments; and ! will say that I have noted
US one of the cheering symptoms of
the present time, the happy relations
| existing between the United States and
ourselves (cheers), and the sympathy
with which we watch their approach
| toward the same problems we our
selves have had to solve.
THAT is not to say that l do not
feel the greatest sympathy with their
late antagonist, the kingdom of Spain.
We entertainthe highest hope that outof
that war, a blessing in disguise, will
grow-and be an abundant growth
civilization and culture in that ancient
and most interesting monarchy.
THE SAMOAN SETTLEMENT.
This morning you had intelligence
of an agreement between ourselves and
one of the great continental states Sa-
moa Is not in itself very important
matter; but 1t was important because
1t constituted a subject of difference
between ourselves and a nation whose
goodwill we prize very highly. l do
not know entirely the reason why the
German people and government attach
SO much Importance to Upoiu; but they
do, and we are glad to find the means
whereby we are able to crafty their
views and sentiments
Roughly, it can be said that the Ger
mans have great interests in that ISL
and because they have invested large
amounts in it's cultivation, ana because
they have constructed a great COM
merce of which they are proud. The
islands, therefore, are Of great value
to them To us, on the other hand,
islands are generally only valuable
when they furnish good harbors Upolu
furnishes very bad harbor. You will

London, Nov 9.-The lord mayor

day by exceptionally brilliant weather,
but antiquated floats failed to satisfy
the London crowds, who poured out in
enormous numbers to vent their mar
tial enthusiasm. The streets We're law

The absence of a detachment of the
Household cavalry and the substitu-
ton Of number of school boy brigades
testified to the presence of the veteran
regiments at the front. A car repre-
sentlng Great Britain surrounded by
her sons, the Canadian and Australian
volunteers, evoked hearty applause, as
did the boys of the Duke of York

wanted khaki uniforms, and refused
to be reconciled with the lord mayor s
coach and other emblems of purely
civic power.

probably fatally injured today through
an attempted joke. Two fellow work

The cord burned in two, and Shindei

where other workmen tore the flaming
clothing from him. Charles Becker and
Allie Chudzinsky were arrested. They
said that Shinder was a new man and
they merely wished to initiate him.

the situation there. There have been
reverses, it is true, but these things are

Halifax, N. s., Nov 9.-The British
warships Comus, Alert and Columbine
probably will remain here until We'd
nesday, when they are to sail for Ber-
muda. An officer of the Comus, speak
ing about the vessels staying off New

the French shore was quiet, and the
presence of the ships at this city was
perhaps only necessary as a formality.
The French have a fine squadron in
Newfoundland waters now, it being
composed of modern cruisers. Great
Britain next year will probably send
two modern cruisers to patrol those
waters.
