Rosenberg Washburn,

The marriage of Miss Katharine Wash
burn to Baron Won Rosenberg took place at
the American church Of st. John on Thurs
day, May %, at eight P. NJ. The church had
been beautifully decorated with palms and
flowers, and while the guests were assem-
bling Herr FahrmanD, one OF the first
musicians of Dresden, played delightfully."-
on the organ.
At eight o'clock the bride arrived with
her mother and sister. The organist played
the grand wedding march by Mendelssohn,
at the opening bars OF which the little pro-
cession began to move down the aisle. First
came the four ushers, who were followed by
the maid OF honor, the sister OF the bride,
after whom followed the bride with her
mother. The brides dress was of heavy
ivory satin with court train. AT her
throat she wore diamond crescent, gift
from the groom, and on her head orange
blossoms fastened her veil, which completed
the handsome costume. She was received
at the church steps by the bridegroom. who
led her to the altar, the mother OF the bride
giving her away. When the minister had
bestowed his blessing on the newly married
pair, they remained kneeling, while the
sweet strains OF "Walther's Preislied"
sounded from the organ. AS the bride aud
bridegroom descended the steps, the organ
played the melodious bridal march from
hLohengrin." AT the Grand Union Hotel
dinner was served to select party OF
friends. The room in which the guests as.
sembled was tastefully decorated with
flowers. Many kilograms Of congratulations
were received. Guide.

Western Floods.

WINONA, MINI, June 12.-Last
nights storm was the most severe ever
known in this section. The dams and
bridges were swept away ON all the
water courses. Every street in the
city was flooded above the curbing and
many families were driven out.
Sixteen hours of rain at Black Falls
caused much damage. At Galesville a
twenty hours rain damaged crops and
carried away bridges.
A dispatch from st. Paul says a tor
nado is reported to have swept over
Hastings, Mimi, ana Hudson and New
Richmond, Wis, being probably the
center of the storm. One report places
the number OF dead at the last named
place as two hundred. AT Viola, Wis. ,
the entire Kickapoo valley is inundat.
ed. A cloud burst occurred ten miles
northeast of Viola, and the entire fer
tile valley was swept by raging tor
rent. Cultivated fields are covered and
almost ruined, some being washed to a
depth of six feet.
MINNEAPoLIs, June 13.-At five
O'Clock this morning reports from
New Richmond, Wis, swept by cy-
clone last night, state that the town
was wiped out south of highway bridge.
1t is estimated that the number killed
is $50. Many houses were consumed
by fire after the cyclone. Buildings
RACED are still burning and the entire
business portion is destroyed.

The Columbia.

Grim visaged war must share with
friendly strife the interest of the pub.
lie from this time till when the Co.
lumbia and the Shamrock, when the
autumn breezes blow, settle for the
eleventh time the possession of the
Americas cup.
Lively public interest in the great
international race began with the
launching of the Columbia at Bristol,
r. l., on Saturday evening. 1t will
grow with the approach of the new de-
fender toward completion, and increase
in intensity when the first tests of
speed and quality are made with the
old Defender, the last champion OF
American yachting honors, and when
these preliminary trials are compared
with the Shamrock's developments of
speed pitted against the fieetest of Brit
ish sailing craft. When the two cham
pions meet off Sandy Hook in October
two continents will be in blaze of
patriotic excitement, far exceeding in
intensity that at any of the preceding
international contests for the retention
on the one hand, and the recovery on
the other, of the trophy of superior
nautical skill and heetness.
The contest in October will be Sc
verer test of skill in boat building and
experiences in seamanship than any
that has preceded. The two coun-
tries have been approaching each other
in the design of their racing machines
till mechanical differences have prac-
tically faded out. The Columbia and
Shamrock will be as near alike as two
peas. Barring accidents the best boat,
or the best sailed boat, will win.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1899-06-14

The growth in the size of the boats
is as noticeable as the approach toward
identity in construction. AT the water
line the Columbia is about 80 feet in
length, over all 13l feet. Her width is
"a feet and draught 20 feet. Her keel
is lead and weighs % tons. She will
spread 1880 square feet of canvas,
and her main mast will be too high to
allow the vessel to pass under Brook
Ign bridge.
What the Columbia shall prove to be
in respect of fleetness and sdaptability
to the exigencies of the race course
only trial can definitely determine.
The reputation of her designer, Nat G..
Herreshoff, who has already produced
two boats that have successfully de-
Tended the cup, is an assurance that
the patriotic hopes and aspirations OF
Americans that the trophy will con-
tinue to abide on this side of the At
lantic will be realized. The highest
skill in designing and building, the
best seamanship in sailing and hand
ling, on each side the waters, are pittec
against each other, and apparently they
are reaching the limitations of the hu
man mind in respect of its ability tt
create and control the conditions tina
make for success in this department o
navigation. May this particular Col
umbis prove to be, when the Octobe
races have been sailed, "the gem of tn
ocean,"

At the Hague,

New YORK, June 1.-THE SUMS
special from the Hague says: The real
work of the Peace Conference is now
almost at crisis. The approval of the
concrete details of the proposal proves
different thing from the approval of
the principle. Three weeks more will
probably be required before the dele
gates are able to agree on any definite
scheme of arbitration, and even then
the result is certain to be meagre
skeleton.
1t is time now to record the remark.
able change which has taken place in
the estimation in which the American
delegates are held by all their COL
leagues. They were regarded at first
in some quarters as almost interlopers,
having no place in the discussion of
situation which the Old World powers
considered strictly European. Their
disposition was to treat the Americans
as quantite negligeable. This idea
suddenly disappeared almost at the out.
set of the deliberations, when the
American delegation said, in effect:
"Gentlemen, we come here to do
business. We are not here for d.
plomacy, but to discuss in straight
forward fashion the subjects contained
in the Czar's rescript and with a sim
cere purpose to reach practical result.
If we fail to accomplish that object we
propose to inform the world why we
failed and place the responsibility for
that failure exactly where it belongs"
This was "new diplomacy" with a
vengeance. The greatest obstacle to any
practical agreement, especially on the
subject of arbitration, disappeared after
this declaration was made. The Amer
lean plain speaking also won for the
American delegation confidence in it's
good faith and practical common sense
which perhaps none other enjoys. So
in great degree no leader of the con-
ference, not M. de Staal himself, is now
so much sought for by his confreres OF
all countries for consultation and adj
vice as Ambassador White, and it is I'M
deniable that he and Sir Julian Paunce.
fote have now the strongest personal
influences of the six score of repre-
sentatives here assembled.
1t is necessary to repeat that the
practical results of the conference will
be of more apparent than real impor-
lance, but some progress will certainly
be made, and the credit for that prog
ress will be mainly due to the firm at
titude taken by the American delega-
ton.
The HAGUE, June 11.-Dr. Zorn, the
German delegate, objected to the princi-
Pile of permanent arbitration as deroga-
tory to monarch's sovereignty and a
nations independence. On other
grounds Germany was Directing to
general arbitration on the score of ex-
pediency, expense, possibility that mi
quitous decisions would bring the
principle into disrepute. Sir Julian
Pauncefote thought the German view
was not altogether modern. 1t is not
believed that permanent arbitration
will fail, though Germany opposes.
The Americans propose to insist upon
permanent tribunal.

In the Transyaal,

The issue of the contest between
England and the Boer republic will be
watched with deep interest. These
Dutch farmers went into the heart OF
South Africa, environed by savage foes,
and set up government. To protect
themselves from internal dangers they
established some rather exclusive laws
as to citizenship and other things.
1t is rather more difficult for
"uitlander," or foreigner, to become
voter in their republic than in the city
of New York. Indeed the restrictions
upon acquiring the right of citizenship
under Dom Paul's sovereignty amount
to a practical denial of the right to out
siders. The Transvaal is the closest
kind of close corporation. "Uitland-
ers" are welcome to come in, invest
their money in mining and other in
dustries, build towns, develope and
populate the country, and be taxed
without limit, but when it comes TO
taking part in law making, voting and
expanding the taxes they pay, that is
another thing. That is the part of
governing the Beers keep in their own
hands. This keeps the uitlanders ever
on the ragged edge of instruction.
The Jameson raid was organized
against this political exclusiveness, and
against this exclusiveness England is
now directing her diplomacy, with the
possibility that, in its encounter with
Boerish obstinacy, war may result.
1t would seem, as an abstract propo-
sition, that any people should have the
right to regulate their internal affairs
and to prescribe the conditions upon
which the rights of citizenship shall be
conferred. 1t was this abstraction that
rendered the Jameson raid 80 odious-
except to those uitlanders who would
have been benefited by its success. 1t
is this abstraction that will render very
disagreeable any advance from diplo-
macy to force, on the part of England,
to compel the Beers to change their
laws and customs and adapt them to
the interest and convenience of Eng
fish capitalists resident in the Trans.
vaal for purposes of material gain.
The Beers may be carrying this alb
straction to extremes. 1t may be as
much out of place at this time in the
economy of things international as
would be the old iron ella despotisms
of former centuries. And this is
doubtless the fact. Still, England has
little stomach for the task of enforcing
the amenities of nineteenth century
international intercourse upon Presi-
dent Kruger, if his obstinacy refuses
o yield to diplomatic pressure. Alb
sorption by England seems to be the in
evitable fate Of the Transvaal, -absorp-
ton, with autonomy, if by peaceful
means; if by force, utter extinguish-
ment.

from a masked battery below Las Pinas
The Filipinos had smooth bore and
number of one Founders. They were
answered by six guns from the first ar
tillery, and within a few minutes the
gunboats Helena and Monitor Monad-
mock joined all their guns. The Sec
ond shell dropped by the Filipinos
burst in the camp of the 14.h infantry.
One private was seriously injured.
Lawton quickly led the reconnais-
sance with TWO companies of the Twen-
ty first Infantry between the Filipino
artillery and the water front. When
the detachment had proceeded about a
mile and half it encountered an over
whelmlug force of Fiipinos and hot
engagement at close range directly be-
tween the masked battery and the bay
followed.
So heavily were Lawton's men out
numbered, they were forced to retire.
They rallied, however, and by a sharp
dash carried the enemy's first position.
The Americans were compelled to re-
treat again on account of heavy fl INK
fire at range so close and the accur.
acy of the Filipinos fire 80 good that
two officers and nineteen men were
wounded. A battalion of the Ninth
infantry later reinforced the Americans
who were resting out of range.
AT the same time battalions from the
Twelfth and Fourteenth infantry were
sent forward. At noon the whole o.
the American troops under Gen. Law
ton were in action with heavy ightinI
all along the line. The battle was ap
parenlly the most severe in which tht
American soldiers in the Philippine
have been engaged.

A committee of Cubans has been in
Washington trying to secure modi6-
cation of the order of the war depart
ment, granting postponement of the
settlement of all debts incurred be-
fore last December. The order was
issued for the benefit of impoverish-
ed planters, to prevent their land be-

cations, but this committee claims that
1t has done more harm than good, and
that it is now almost impossible for
planters to secure loans in Havana. al
