churehiIl-west wedding.

London, July 29.-Iady Randolph
Churchill (nee Jeromel was Saturday
married to Lieutenant George CORVALLIS.
West at st. Paul's church, Knights Bridge
The church was thronged with handsomely
dressed women. There was no restriction
upon the number admitted to the church
to witness the ceremony except the ca
pacity of the church, but only relatives
and intimate friends were hidden to the
subsequent wedding breakfast, and no re-
ception was held.
The usually quiet neighborhood of Viii
ton Place, where st. Paul's church is To-
Gated, was Saturday morning early astir.
Before 8 o'clock crowds had collected out
side the church gates. By 1915 the
crowds had swelled to enormous proper
tions. The late opening of the church
doors caused great inconvenience to early
guests, who were pushed here and there
and almost swept from their feet when
the gates were actually opened, and rush
was made for the doors by the crowds,
fighting and pushing to enter the church.
1t was only with the aid of policemen
that they were controlled.
The church was not overcrowded II
was sparsely adorned with palms and
white blossoms. The two front pews
which had been reserved for the family
of the bride were quite unoccupied, while
the Cornwallis-West family was not rep
resented.

England ol.truutrul Of chlnn.

London, July 29.-Last week of rumors,
edicts and Chinese protestations by the
score ends with England as firmly CON
WINGED as ever that the ministers at Pc
kin have been massacred. Not only that,
but in the determined attempts on the
part of the Chinese authorities to convince
the world of the truth Of their assertions,
prominent organs of public opinion are
unanimous in seeing a desperate plot on
the part of the Chinese government to de-
lay the day of retribution in the hope that
the powers will become embroiled among
themselves. The Chinese declarations have,
in fact, aggravated, rather than ameliorat
ed the feeling against the eastern empire.
Archibald Ross Colquhoun, the distin-
guised geographer and correspondent of
the Times during the Franco Chinese war
of lS83-S4, in an able review of the situa-
ton technically declares: "What we want
is not knowledge, however profound, from
the Chinese; rather would we strengthen
the hands of Admiral Seymour or some
other commander, throw ourselves bravely
into the breach and, if necessary, take
some risks. No big thing has ever been
done without certain amount of risk"

expedition forms the subject of general
spare no Chinese and make no prisoners
are condemned by nearly everybody one
meets and also by the press.
Inc LOkal -anzeiger pretends that the
emperor did not mean what his words i'm
Piled; but that he merely wished to eau
ton the members of the expedition that
they would meet foe who does not spare
and makes no prisoners. out nearly all
the other papers, commenting on the
emperor's speech, strongly argue against
it, ...e Tageblatt, in specially caustlc
manner, reminding the emperor that telling
his soldiers to carry civilization into China
and in the same breath enjoining them
to deal with ferocious severity there do not
tally. Besides, the paper argues, the en-
peror has no right to so instruct the expedi-
ton, because the expedition will form
mand of a chief of some otner nationality
whose instruction solely they must obey.
The paper maintains that "the EN-
perors behavior is likely to split up the
harmony of the powers, as doubtless some
OF the powers will not agree to the EN-
peror's instructions"
several papers draw a parallel between
this latest speech by Emperor William
and one he delivered in 1898, defeating to
the Redeemer the church at Jerusalem, on
which occasion the kaiser preached the
gospel of Christian long-sutfering toward
all nations.

New OrIeNns Again Qmiet.

New Orleans, July 29.--Mob violence
seems to have spent itself and the city is
quiet again. No fresh outbreaks are re-
ported, the burning of the 1nomy Latin
school having evidently been the crown
ing piece Of mob violence. Mayor Capde-
VILE says that the lawlessness, such as
that which has shocked the community
for the last few days can only be sup
pressed by force. He said today that he
had no intention of disbanding the special
police or discharging the militia until the
last vestige of mob violence had disap-
peared. Among the communications re-
celved by the mayor today was an offer
from the leading citizens of Tangipahoa
for sufficient number of able bodied men
to annihilate the negroes of New Orleans"

weighed 200 pounds. 1t took four men

hoit the taking of sturgeon at this season,
and at all times by fishwheels. The value
of ,..e fish, had Mr.. Leavens been allowed
to dispose of the same, would be about
