MIR. FLAGLER HAS
 ANOTHER WIFE
Oil King Welded to Miss Kenan in Kenansvi|Ie Before
 Small Party

Wilmington, N. C., August A.-The marriage of Miss Mary Lidy Kenan of this city to MT. Henry Morrison Flagler, the Florida multi-millionaire, occurred at 10:30 o'clock this morning in the presence of a small party of very near friends of the bride and groom and members of the family at Kenansville, the old home of the Kenan family, in Dublin County. This colonial residence has recently been reno- vated and remodeled, but the picture sque old mansion with its white columns and arch door had lost none of the charms of its old style architecture. The interior was lavishly decorated with plants and flowers Music was supplied by an or chestra.
 The ceremony was performed by Dr. Priton H. Hodge. pastor of Warren Me morial church, Louisville, Ky, and for merly the brides pastor in this city.
 The bride was very pretty in a cos tune of white. The groom wore black Prince Albert coat with light trousers.
 At the conclusion of the ceremony MT. and Mrs Flagler left by private convey ance for Magnolia, the nearest railroad station, eight miles distant. From that point Mir Flagler's car was attached to special train which left immediately via Rocky Mount, N. C., for New York and Mammaroneck
 Among those in attendance upon the ceremony were Captain and Mrs. W. R. Kenan, parents of the bride; Miss Sarah Keenan, Mrs. J. Clisby Wise, Macon, Ga, and MT. w. R. Kenan, Jr., sisters and brother of the bride; MT. and Mrs. w. A. Dick, Captain and Mrs. E. W. Van c. Lucas, Miss Hannah Bales all of Wil- mington; Mir. Henry Walters of Balti- more, and MT. Ashley of New York, MT. Flagler's attorney
 There are fabulous stories of gifts of the groom to the bride and to members of her family, but none fthem are au- thentic.

ForeIqn Officials peIiqhted.

Paris, August 24.-The foreign officials do not conceal their delight at the settle ment of the Turkish difficulty. During the last few days 1t was evident that anxiety was felt lest the czar might be displeased at the attitude of France. There is no dCpbt that the sultan has yielded all in the matter of the quays by issuing an trade recognizing the full rights claimed by the French company, to extend its operations by land and start ferries, also removing the annoying re- strictions hitherto imposed by the cus- toms and police officials This not only ends the dispute. but ends also all ques- tion of re-purchase of the company's con- cession by the porte at the present time.
 Regarding the other French claims as have been admitted by Turkey the nego- tiations only turn on manner of payment. It is believed this will be arranged very quickly.

 Will Study Them Both.
 General Oates stated that he had cor rectly given Governor Johnston his att tttude as to ratification. He would give the two instruments a careful comparison and then support the one he believed to be best. He further stated that he did not think that he had been given due courtesy by the conventions; that almost every good measure he had urged had been laid upon the table. He intimated that jealousy was the cause of this ac- tion. but said that hls treatment would not be a factor in his final conclusions as to what to do. as he was merely trying to get the best constitution possible for the people.
 Asked If he knew anything of the Law son barbecue or it's purposes, General Oates replied that he did not He said that Governor Johnston said nothing to him about his intended visit to Captain Lawson, and the firsthe had heard of the meeting was this morning.
 General Oates and Governor Johnston have never been very friendly in politics. and 1t Is hardly probable that the latter would tell his secrets to the former.
