The Question Asked.

Ii
With serious face and in tone
heard all through the rooms of the
lower floor OF the house in which the
guests were standing. DR.. Morgan ask
ed:
who gives this woman in mar
riage?"
Ahuer Mckinley then took the brides
right hand in his and tenderiy placed 1t
in the right hand of the groom.
Then looking straight into the eyes
of the contracting couple. the minister
repeated the questions OF the service to
each OF which DR.. Baer and Miss Mabel
Mckinley. in a full clear voice. re-
sponded. At the conclusion Of the cere-
'noHy the groom kissed the bride and
first TO extend their congratulations
were President and Mrs. Mckinley.
They were followed by Mr.. and Mrs.
Abner Mckinley. the parents of the
bride.
The only official recognition In con-
nectlon with the wedding transpired in
the President and his wife embracing
their favorite niece and her husband
before the parents OF the bride had
done so.
The gowns OF each lady Of the we'd
ding party and the members OF the Nc
Klnicy family We'd with each other in
elaborateness. The gown or the bride,
OF which SO much has already been
written, was masterpiece OF the
dressmaker's art. II was simple in'ce-
sign. but at the same time exquislteiy
fitted aud WAS the subject OF much
comment on the part OF each member
of the party. Mrs. William Mckinley
wore magnificent high neck gown of
white lace ovrT pink satin with dIa-
mond ornaments.

OF the groom who reside In California,
and n cousin Of the bride who lives in
San Francisco. There has been no spe-

stood that DR.. Baer and his wife will
be in Chicago for two days, possibly
longer. From there they viii visit
several cities In the northwest. lnclud-
ing Milwaukee. There VIII be no pro-
longed stop thereafter until they reach
California.
One remarkable feature OF the occa-
sion was the fact that II was strictly n
temperance function. No wines OF any
kind were served at the wedding din

The bride and groom left about mid
night on their westward journey. The
guests will nearly oil leave for home 10.

second day OF the reunion of the Society.
OF the Army Of West Virginia was
marked by the presence in Falrmont Of
the largest crowd In the history OF the
place. Fully ten thousand visitors lined
the sidewalks or crowded the big tent
where the meetings are held. About
five hundred veterans registered. The
attendance OF these upon the reunions
is decreasing rapidly each year as death
carries on their numbers or sickness
and in1rmlItes render them unable to
come.
There were number Of pathetic In
cident OF veterans whose presence here
cost them a great physical effort and
whose reunion this Is their last. The
various commands which compose tho
society held separate reunions this
morning and reorganlzed by electlng
officers. N
Commended Commissioner Evans.
Vice President ]. c. Bishop, Of COL
umbus, Ohio. presided at to-day's
meeting OF the society and delivered a
long address which occupied the morn
Ing session. He spoke warm words Of
praise OF the old soldier and for what he
had accomplished In war and in peace.
He commended the pension system as
administered by Commissioner Evans,
but favored more liberal pension laws
The parade this afternoon was the
principal feature OF to-day's exercises
and was witnessed by an immense,
crowd. Capt. ]. w. shroyer was chief
marshal, and Capt. L. A. Billinslea act
ed as adjutant general. Nearly thou
sand veterans were In line and q num-,
Der who wore the grey took part. some
dressed in their uniforms. City officials,
knights OF Pythias. Odd Fellows, labor
unions and other organizations. about q
dozen in all, also participated. Meis-
ter's band. OF Wheeling, was the chief
musical attraction.
Flutter Of Decorations.
The parade was reviewed from the
front porch of the court house by Ma,
1ors Mckee, Of Pennsylvania; B. NJ

from one end of Main street TO the oth-
er. After the parade there were
number OF short addresses by DR.. De-
wore, l. NJ. Locke, Judge John ". Ma
son and others.
A campfire aud accompanying en-
tertaining features proved n great at
traction tonight. The failure OF Judge
Gof and others who were to make ad-}
dresses to appear, has caused much
disappointment. A telegram was sent
to President Mckinley. inviting him to
stop on on his way TO Canton. He re-
piled, expressing his. appreciation, but
declined to accept the invitation. as the
route selected for him did not take him
by Fairnont.

Klnley-Baer wedding which this even
ing united the lives OF Miss Mabel Nc
Kinley. the only child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Abner Mckinley, and DR.. Hermanus L.
Baer. was perhaps the most elegant
from many points of View ever witness
ed in this state. The presence OF Mr..
and Mrs. William Mckinley, the uncle
and aunt of the bride. together with
other prominent people from various
parts of the United States gave dignity
and tona to the affair. The apartments
were superb and the gowns OF the Ia
dies were remarkable for their beauty.
Col W. C. Brown. of New York, was
the master OF ceremonies,
Tha ceremony uniting Miss Mabel Nc

Hermanus L. Baer. began promptly at s

On the other hand. strong representa-
tions have been made to the President
In opposition to the withdrawal in ad
vance OF the Prccurment OF absolutely
suiiic!en. guarantees for the protection
Of American interests In China. and for
the safety Of the native Christians. This
last addition is one most difficult TO
meet, but. being insisted upon by the
missionary element. is being givec most
careful consideration.
In anticipation OF SOME such state OF
affairs. the effort has been made TO
hasten the dispatch OF prellninaries 10
negotiations. II is highly desirable
that some responsible representative Of
the Chinese government be recognized
in order that he may secure n sufficient
guarantee upon which to base the with
drawal Of our troops. Ii Hung Chang
and Prince Ching are the only lights IN
the east, so far as our government can
see. and 1t Is possible that the present
problem may be solved by 4 decision TO
deal with them Immediately. and TO ac-
cept their pledge rs sufficient for ou-
purpose.

{ rible Famine-Will Need Help

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE ques-
tion OF withdrawing the American
troops at ONCE from Pekin is now before
the President, and speedy decision
is expected and required. There are
differences among officials In Pekin on
this subject. and the issue is for the
President TO decide. The action Of the
French government as reported by Gu
Bile dispatches in Joining Russia in or
ders for the withdrawal Of troops has
brought about the contingency touched
upon in the reply to Russia in the fol-
lowing languase:
''The result OF these considerations Is
that unless there is such n general cx-
preston by the powers in favor Of con-
tluued occupation as to modify the
views expressed by the government OF
Russia and lead TO a general agreement
for continued occupation, We shall give
instructions to the commander of the
American forces in China TO withdraw
our troops from Pekin after due con-
ference with the ether commanders as
to time and manner OF withdrawal
Sending of Supplies Stopped.
General Chaffee was made acquainted
with the attitude OF the government.
and was directed TO hold himself in
readiness to withdraw his troops. I'm
doubtedly he has conferred with the
other commanders as to the time ard
manner OF withdrawal. according TO the
terms OF the Iotc. The sending OF. fur
ther supplies to him has been stopped.
and he now awaits but the signal from
Washington to begin his movement. It
Is for the President to give that signal.
The considerations now before him
In favor Of immediate withdrawal are,
first. the fact that he Is already COM
mItted In measure to such source by
the above quoted language in reply to
the Russian note. Second. It Is rep
resented that China Is on the verge of
a terrible famine. and the retention af
the troops In Pekin, preventing, as they
do the return OF the Chinese govern
ment and the supply Of provisions to
the capital. places the responsibility
for what threatens to be 4 frightful ca
lamity upon the powers who sanctioned
the occupation.

will ask that the nomination of Cow
ernor Roosevelt be made unanimous

six votes for him in behalf OF Iowa.
Leslie NJ. Shaw, governor OF Iowa,
had this to say: -
we have made good fight for an
Iowa man for the vice presidential
nomination, and, tho we have not been
able to win. yet the ticket with McKin-
ley and Roosevelt at the head is bound
to beat the democratic ticket We had
many votes in sight for Mr.. Dolliver,

showing would be made on the first
ballot. We are resigned to the inevita-

that our state has done itself proud in
the campaign for Congressman Dolli-
Yer. To prove this we propose to 80 out
