people gathered within the precincts of

mony. The honeymoon will be spent

rose chiffon tied in a large bow at the
side. The hats were of primrose chif-
fon with pink flowers.

roses and draped with print d Allencon
lace, formerly the property of Queen

father. in a sumptuous carriage which

quet of orchids, marguerites and other
flowers cut from her own garden. She
was met the the west door by the
bridesmaids. who accompanied her up

and effectively decorated with palms,
primroses. marguerites and other
choice flowers.

A large crowd gathered in Berkeley

THE PENNSYLVANIA SITUATION.


The final ballot for Senator in the
Pennsylvania Legislature Wednesday
resulted as usual in no choice, and yes
terday the body adjourned sine die
without having elected a Senator to
succeed Quay. The break in Quay s
ranks did not come soon enough to be
effective. Up to within few days OF
the final ballot the forces of the boss
had turned their efforts to preventing
the election of an Independent Repub-
lican and they succeeded. How long
they might have been able to. hold out
had they not been relieved by adjourn
ment is another story" Quay, how
ever, had his forces well in hand. de-
spite the ominous break away of the
Magee contingent.
The hope of the Quay men is in a
called session or in a new Legislature,
though the hope is mighty slim one.
as the discredited boss's chances are
not likely to improve with time, espec-
tally if the people are given voice in
the matter in the election of a new
Legislature However, it is difficult to
forecast happenings in the State of
Quay, where the very people themselves
appear to be welded to their corrupt
bosses.
The Pennsylvania constitution pro-
vides that Gin case of vacancy in the
Office of a United States Senator from
this commonwealth. in recess be-
tween sessions, the Governor shall con-
vene the two houses, by proclamation,
in notice not exceeding sixty days, to
fill the same"
This would seem to call for an extra
session, but Gov. Stone has let it be-
strue it and that he will not call the
Legislature together again for the sole
purpose of electing a Senator.
The constitution provides further that
for each extra session of the Legisla-
ture its members shall receive com
pensation of $500 each, no matter how
short their sitting may be. This would
mean an extra expense of S250,000 in
case of an extra session. This pr3v:s-
ion was the main hope of the Quayites
for called session. AS surmised, the
members purposely delayed the re-
gular business, already away bchinf,
and left appropriations unmade so as
to compel the Governor to call an ex-
ira session whereby each member viii
pocket a cool $500 extra. This hope of
the Quay men was based on long and
intimate acquaintance with the aver
age Pennsylvania legislator, who is
usually "out for the stuff
Quay expects to derive advantage
from an extra session through pressure
brought to bear on members opposed
to him exerted by the machine at their
homes, which machine in all details
and throughout the State the big boss
still controls.
To "a man up a tree" however, it
would seem that Quay's hope was a for
lorn one.

PARKHuKsr ON -sRorHEK CROKER

In an interview on the subject of
the Mazet inquiry, DR.. Parkhurst re-
ferred to Mr.. Croker as Brother Cro-
ker," which will doubtless cause Tam
many to stretch its many and hungry
and capacious mouths from ear to ear.
Seriously, the reverend reformer
takes no stock in the Mazet investiga-
ton and denounces it as partisan
political scheme pure and simple, with
no honest reform motive behind it.
Il believe" said he, that the moral
effect Of the investigation has been
sacrificed by the refusal of the commit
tee to put Mr. Plat and his lieutenants
on the stand by a party vote of to
in the committee"
AS between the methods of Plat and
those of Platt to be the more danger
Gus. Sometimes" said he, there Is
rascality under a coat of veneer. In
such case the rascality is subtler. f"
He set down the moral pretensions Of
the Republicans as hypocrisy.
Whatever we may think of the prac-
ticability of DIR. Parkhurst's own re-
form methods, We can not doubt his
honesty and sincerity, while he GER
tainly has thorough knowledge of the
inner workings of New York politics.

men of his cloth IRE. by false pretense.

ALGER,s DARE TO M'KlNLEy.

In recent interview Alger declared
with emphasis that he would not retire
from the cabinet to accept a place at
Paris or anywhere else, nor ON the
plea of ill-health, nor for personal
political reasons.
On the contrary, Alger declared he
would stick until the end of Mr.. Nc
Kinley's term, or if he retired it will
only be after the President makes a
direct and unqualified request" And
he declared that Mr. Mckinley must
assume all responsibility"
There would seem to be threat in
this. In fact, it is evidently in the ma
ture of deliberate dare" to the Pres
ident to retire Alger from the cabinet.
The Michigan politician seems to
have pretty confident hold on the sit
uation and to know his position thor
oughly Would he dare assume this
attitude toward the President if he
were not perfectly sure of his ground?
that the President was as deep in the
army scandals as Alger. We long ago
had Mark Hannas word for it that
Alger never did anything without first
consulting the President. And we have
Mr.. McKinley's own recent gracious
admission that criticism of Alger was
criticism of him. Which admission is
doubtless literally truer that Mr.. Nc
Kinley exactly meant to have it under
stood to be-
That there was ring during the war
at Washington to promote the admin
istration's political chances by means
of that conflict, scheme involving the
favoring of certain contractors and
firms who had contributed largely to
the Hanna campaign fund of 1896, is
hardly matter of doubt. Facts that
have come to light concerning army
contracts have sufficiently proven it.
And this is altogether aside from the
revelations in the embalmed beef in
quiry OF the grossest favoritism in
the War Departments for the Armours,
who had sshelled OUT handsomely to
elect Mr.. Mckinley.
This War Department ring was pure
n an administration affair and to hold
that Mr.. Mckinley was unaware of its
existence and its doings, is to hold that
that gentleman was graduated in the
sharp school of Ohio politics for moth
Ing.
Evidently Ayers '.dare" is backed
up by firm confidence on Alger's part
that Mr.. Mckinley dare not accept it,
being quite as deeply involved in the
foul army scandals as Alger, who is
evidently heartily sick of playing
scapegoat for nothing.
Despite the fact that Alger is per-
soma non grata to the best members of
the cabinet and that there is a ire
mendous pressure exerted by Republi-
can politicians the country over to have
Alger "unloaded,' yet Mr.. Mckinley,
Tor good and sufficient reasons, DARE
not call for the Michiganders resigna-
Zion.
