how different man to the young fell
low who had left it that morning.
The ladies are in the drawing groom,

They accordingly proceeded thiuher,
one of them at least with a sinking
heart.
I'VE have just been wondering when
, We should see you," said Kitty.
There was lock of anxiety on Mol

her lover. She placed her hand in his

We'll, my dear boy" said Mrs. Hen
derson. What have you to tell u.s.?
What was the rescult?"
There was no need for her to say to
what she referred. Their minds had
been too much occupied with it that
day to leave room for any uncertainty
upon that point.
Nothing is decided yet,'' said Sir
Vivian, who took upon himself the part
of spokesman. 1.-THE inquiry is adj

THAT means that you will have to
go up again" said Molly. why
couldn't they settle it at once?"
Godfrey knew, but he dared not tell
her the reason.
They are searching for more evil

who lived in the same house with her. Ac-
cording to the ante-mortem statement

couple had been quarreling. She declared
Boland became so angry that he removed
the globe and chimney from the lamp in
the house and then attempted to burn her

"a MESSAGE FROM AMERICA,
Cabinet officer Is Said to Have De.
pIOred the south African War.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-Sir Thomas Wemyss
Reid, the author and editor. in an article
entitled "a Message from America in the
December number of the Nineteenth Cen
fury, will quote one of the most distin-
guished members of the Cabinet as saying:
II do not think you in England realize the
depth of feeling that exists outside of your
own country on the subject Of the South
African war. nor the extreme gravity of
the situation which that feeling has
brought into existence. / am not speaking
of American feeling, which is largely on
your side, but the more friendly we are to
England the more anxious we are to see
you eXtricated from the meshes of the net
in which you are now caught. 1t is terrible
to think Of the p~itifulness Of the whole
thing and of the loss suffered by universal
humanity, owing to the effacement of Eng
land for two years and the consequent alb
sence from the inside of justice and prog
ress.'
Sir Thomas further says the member of
the Cabinet in question told him that al
most daily appeals were being made to the
government of the United States by rep
resentatives OF the European powers to
take some step to end the war. These rep
reservations from the ministers OF the DOW
ers were made unofficially, although the
United States government well knew their
respective governments were backing them
therein.

WILHELMINA IS IMPROVING
PRINCE HENRY WILL START ON A
VISIT TO PRUSSIA TO-DAY.
Queens Illness Said to Have Been Pre-
cipitated by "A Violent Quarrel
with Her Consort.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-In connection with
Queen Wilhelmina's illness the following
particulars have been published. says the
Amsterdam correspondent of the Journal
and Advertiser: ut seems that before his
marriage Prince Henry lived for a time at
a pace beyond his means, and, as a conse-
quence, fell into the hands Of money
lenders. The debts he contracted in those
days were TO be settled after his marriage
with the rich young Queen, and quite re-
Gently Henry made a clean breast OF the
matter to her. Upon learning all the par
t%tculars, Queen Wilhelmina declined point
blank to pay her consort's debts, the result
being that a very violent scene took place
between them which ended in Henry rush
ing away TO Germany and Wilhelmina be-
ing taken i'll. 1t is said that only the most
imploring kilograms sent to him by the
Queens mother. Queen Emma, induced
Henry to return TO Holland. The Queens
mother is anxious to preserve appearances
has not been once to the Palace where his
Queen is. AS proof of the serious character
of the Queens illness, in spite Of all reas-
surfing reports to the contrary, may be
mentioned the fact that the recent Official
Gazette did not contain a single royal COM
mand, which is an unprecedented state of
things"
THE HAGUE, Nov. 25.-Queen Wilhel-
nina is improving so satisfactorily that
Prince Henry will leave Hetloe tomorrow
on a short visit TO Prussia.

NO JOINT DEMONSTRATION.
European Nations Acting Individually
in south American Waters.

BERLIN, Nov. 25.-The Foreign Office
to-day sent for the representative here of
the Associated Press and declared the an
nouncement to the effect that the coun-
tries party to the triple alliance were max
ing a concentrated demonstration in South
American waters to be false. The inform
ant of the correspondent said there had
been no discussion between Germany, Aus
tria and Italy regarding common action in
this direction. He admitted that each coun-
try was sending war ships to South Ameri-
can waters. but said they were acting en-
tirely Independently Of each other and were
merely protecting the property, rights and
lives of their subjects. 1t was further ex-
Plained that Washington was fully in
formed concerning the intentions of Ger
many in this regard. The movements of
German vessels in South American waters
have been fully reported as well as the
vessels destined to go out there. No other
ships have been sent to South America.
German officials in Berlin are of opinion
that the presence in the Caribbean sea of
warships of the powers composing the
triple alliance viii have the desired effect
without making necessary a recourse to
action.

COMMON LAW MARRIAGES
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
DECIDES THEY ARE LEGAL.
Case i'm Which "A Woman Sued a
Wealthy Merchant for Breach of
Promise and Was Beaten.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25.-The United States
Court OF Appeals. in reversing the decisions
Of the United States District Court Of In
dian Territory and the Indian Territory
Court of Appeals. which were in favor of
Rose Pryor. who sued Samuel T.. Davis, a
wealthy merchant of the Cherokee Nation.
for alleged breach of promise. decided to-
day that common law marriages are legal.
Miss Pryor. who is also a resident of the
Cherokee Nation. was a membey Of Daviss
household As mistress of the household
was a young woman known to Miss Pryor
as Mrs Davis. According TO Davis, this
woman was his wife, with whom he had
lived for upwards Of twenty years. When
Rose was twenty-one years old Davis was
alleged TO have eloped with her. but for
some reason refused to marry her. Miss
Pryor considered her affections had been
injured TO the extent of $500 and fled suit
for this amount and won in both the lower
courts. She alleged that Davis had told
her that he was not legally married to
Mrs. Davis and that there was no legal OBJ
lection to his making her his wife. Davis
contended that he was already married,
hence he could not have made a valid con-
tract TO become Miss Pryor's husband.
In delivering the opinion of the Appellate
Court Judge Adams said: Marriage is a
civil contract and may be made by any
persons of different sexes competent to
make such contract. While commonly en-
tered into with some either civil
or religious, il may be cOnsummated with
out any ceremony II a man and woman,
In good faith, agree TO become husband
and wife. and this agreement is followed
by "A consistent and notorious cohabitation,
the relation of husband and wife is law
fully established
Ii is held by the court that Rose Pryor
knew Of DaVis's relations to Mrs. Davis,
and should not or could not, therefore,
have been deceived when he proposed to
marry her.

grave responsibilities under trying circum-
stances.
At $3.50 yesterday afternoon. at the head
OF several hundred men, General Alban left
Panama by train for EmperadOr Station,
where the Liberals were reported TO be in
fairly strong numbers. His purpose was to
surprise and rOut them. The train bearing
these troops was held up just before ii ar
rived at Culebra Station, owing TO the Lib
erals opening fire on Adams advance
guard. Alban disembarked his men from
the train. which returned TO Panama. The
nghting at Culebra lasted from 4:fO until .

house in Culebra was riddled with bullets.

fighting was stubborn all along the railroad
line until EmperadOr, "a mile and one-half
distant, was reached The Liberals retreat

I'll the latter eventually reached Matching
Station. Here General Alban met and con-
ferred with Captain Perry, OF the Iowa,
who was returning from Colon on an
armored train. 1t is understood that Capt.
Perry Will not allow the railroad to trans
port troops, consequently General Alban
and his men were forced to push ahead on
foot. 1t Is said here that they thus reached
San Pablo. where the Liberals are in force,
and that fighting is taking place there.
The Liberals are under the command of
General IugO.
Between the stations of Culebra and En-
peradOr over $50 killed and wounded men
could be seen along the track. The sight
was gruesome. There is no proper Red
Cross organization and the wounded lacked
care. The Liberals at Colon declare the
majority OF the men killed on the line TO
be Conservative troops and that the rebels
are still In force along the railroad.
Three hundred OF the lOwa's marines
were landed at half past 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon at Panama TO protect the
property Of the railroad and TO insure the
continuance of transit across the isthmus.
