RumOr Regarding Germany's Dele
gate to The Hague Denied.


A dispatch from The Hague yesterday
says:
The chiefs of the delegations held fire.
quent conferences today, with the view of
arriving at an agreement in regard to the
choice of officers of the committees. APP
parently many difficulties have arisen, and
false and exaggerated reports have been
circulated regarding these bitches. For in
stance, 1t has been said that Count Won
Munster. the German ambassador at Paris
and head of the German delegation, would
withdraw from the conference. Such stories
must be received with caution, as persons
hostile to the aims of the conference have
been busily engaged in spreading distrust
The story about Count Won Munster prob
ably arose from the fact that his name does
not appear as a member of any of the COM
mittees, while all the other chiefs of dele
cations have Joined one or more commit
tees. But. 1t is pointed out, delegates al
though not members of a committee are
privileged to attend its sessions and particf-
pate in the discussions.
Andrew d. Whits, the United States am
bassador at Beriin~AQd head of the Amer
lean delega ton. in an interview said he
regarded the situation as promising, and
that the first work of organization was well
done. He added:

visitors scored all of their runs in the first
two innings on clean hitting, but after that

them but a few scattering hits and struck
out thirteen of their men. The Rockville
boys batted hard throughout, and both
teams fle!ded in excellent style. The bat
ferries were NICHOLSON and Harriss and Ed

ALExANDER's WEDDING DAY.
Wholesale Giving and Taking in Mar riage to Celebrate the Event.

Tie newspaper reporters of the time of Alexander the Great, had there been any would have had the heaviest days work of their lives in covering the in- tere>tng events that marked the day Alexander was married. On that day. authenticated accounts tell US, no less than 20. 202 men and women were made husbands and wives. Alexander had conouered Darius of Persia, and he felt that this great achievement was ;mportant enough to oe sigEalized in a conspicuous manner. Imagine the nride of conqueror who decides that it can be measured properly only by a wholesale giving and taking in mar r;age. the like of which the world has never known.
 Alexander himself married Statira, the daughter of the conquered king, and decreed that 100 of his chief officers should be united to 100 ladies from the noblest Persian and Medean families In auulJlOu LO Iu-S, hS SblpuldleO that 10000 of his Greek soldiers should mar rv 10. GOO Asiatic women
 When everything was settled vast pavilion was erected, the pillars of winch were six feet high. One hundred gorgeous chambers adjoined this for the one hundred noble bridegrooms, while for the To- GOO an outer court was inclosed, outside of which tables were spread for the multitude. Each pair had seats, and ranged themselves in semcircles around the royal throne Of course the priests could not marry this vast number of couples in the or dinary way. so Alexander the Great devised very similar ceremony. He gave his hand to Statira and kissed her--an example that all the bride grooms followed.
 This ended the ceremony. Then fol- lowed the festival. which lasted five days, and the grandeur of which has never been seen since. -Ex.
