WASHINGTON, D. c., April 27.-It
is stated that the extra session of con-
gress, which the president decided be-
fore his departure for the West, to
call, will meet about the middle of
September instead of October. The In
formation that this early session is in
contemplation comes from a source so
near the president as to make it seem
authentic.
The presidents idea in summoning
congress. here in September, 1t is un-
derstood, Is to give ample time for the
consideration of several important
problems to be presented to that body.
He is especially anxious that the Gu
ban reciprocity treaty be made effect
i've by congressional resolution at the
earliest moment. He also wishes con-
gress to have sufficient time 10 consider
the financial question and a plan to
prevent tight money at crop-moving
time, the Philippine tariff and other
matters.

Earl Of Yarmouth Weds

PlTTSBURG. Pa, April 27-Amid
scenes as impressive as lavish display
of wealth. the dignity of society and
the solemnity of the ritual of the Prot
estant Episcopal church could provide,
the marriage of George Francis Alex
ander Seymour, Earl of Yarmouth,
England, and Alice Cornelia Thaw,
daughter of the late William Thaw,
was solmenized this afternoon in the
Calvary church.
The weather was bright and pleas
ant. The church was decorated with
palms, white hydrangeas and white Ii
les. The audience was brilliant.
The bride wore a gown of ivory sat
in. trimmed with duchesse lace, made
high necked and with short train.
She carried a bouquet of orchids and
lilies of the valley and wore a fine
string Of pearls that were her brothers
wedding gift. Josiah c. Thaw gave
the bride away, and Rev. E. c. Nc
Even, pastor of the Third Presbyter-
ian church. Of which Miss Thaw is a
member, performed the first part of
the service, and Rev. James McIlvrain,
rector of Calvary Episcopal church
finished and pronounced the benedic-
ton.

while Miss Nancy Carnegie, Miss Mar
tha Ferguson, Lady Jane Seymour.
Miss Isabel May..Miss Elinor Wilson
and Miss Mary Thaw Thompson were
bridesmaids. They wore white chff-
fon gowns, white leghorn hats trimmed
in white 1owers< <and carried punches
of white carnations and lilies. Lord
Edward Seymour, the bridegroom's
brother, was best man.
Preceding the ceremony an elaborate
organ recital was rendered. while the
guests were entering the church. When
the time for the ceremonial arrived
the wedding march was begun, but the
bridal party did not appear. For some
reason the bridal party was delayed
and arrived thirty minutes late The
audience plainly showed its surprise.
Many rumors were put in circulation,
but nothing tangible could be learned
of the delay. When the waiting be-
came irksome the doors were thrown
open to the public and the aisles were
crowded almost to Suffocation.
When the bridal party arrived and
the ceremony began Harry Kendall
Thaw, the brides eldest brother, who
was to have given her away, failed
to put in an appe arance and her
younger brother Josiah took the part
Dallas Byers took the place of Josiah
Thaw as one OF the ushers.
After the church ceremony there
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-04-28

was a reception at Lyndhurst, the
Thaw home. The bride gave to her
attendants diamonds and amethyst
bracelets. The bridal couple left
this evening for brief trip before
sailing for England. The Earl of
Yarmouth's father, the Marquis Of
Hertford, and family. who came from
England to attend the wedding, are to
return tomorrow.
The Earl of Yarmouth had disa-
agreeable experience at his hotel
shortly after his return from the
court house where he had gone to pro-
cure his marriage license. When the
earl entered the Hotel Schenly at
about noon he was confronted by two
constables who served him with a writ
from the high court of justice, kings

on $500 at 20 per cent per annum

One party said he was ready to testi-

Gen. Miles said he looked at the
building, which was one story in height
and eighteen or twenty feet wide and
possibly sixty or seventy feet long. He
asked for a written statement to be
forwarded him at Manila, but says he
never received it, and says:
II have no reason to disbelieve their

death, are confirmed by other reports.

defense were working together in per-
feet amity when the trial begun. Mr..
Erwin had charge of the empaneling
of the jury. 1t was nearly 10 O'Clock
before the court actually got down to
business.
The first Venire man summoned was
Benjamin Drake, a student of law at
the state university Mr.. Drake made
1t plain that he had definite ideas of
the Ames case, having read most OF
the newspaper matter printed concern
ing ii, but the candidate for jury duty
declared that he had no bias whatever
and that in default of evidence he had
formed no conclusion concerning the
guilt or innocence of the accused.
Moreover, Mr.. Drake was convinced
that he would be able to try the case
fairly and impartially, but the keen
gray eye of the Tall Pine, after a pro-
found analysis of the man in the
chair, rejected him on general prin-
ciples and he was dismissed on a per-
emptory challenge by the defense.
Erwin appears to be exercising his
widely advertised power OF divination.
He claims to be able to tell by an oc-
cult process not available to the or
binary mortal. whether man is with
him or against him. He tried a lot of
cases in various parts of the country

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 81
The extended report of Lieut.. Gen. Nell

lie today by the war department. 1t
is dated Feb. 10, 1903, and covers all
features of his trip through the ISL

tions. OF the Moros Gen. Miles says:
The problem of reducing or con-
trolling these people in case of con-
tinued hostilities does not appear to be
a very difficult one. They are very
poorly armed and have no means of
withstanding our mountain artillery
and field mortars Their forts possess
but slight resisting power and can
easily be destroyed by modern artil-
lery.'

among the occupants of the big apart
ment.
DR.. Ames has picked up wonderfully
since his return from New Hancock.
He has the tan of an outdoor regime
on his somewhat timeWorn Visage but
there is elasticity in his walk and hope
in his eyes. Before he entered the
| courtroom the place was pretty well
| filed, and in passing up the center aisle
| he had to pause for handshakes with
| a score or more of sympathizers.
Whatever may be said of Ames, he
has not lost his power over men and
women. 1t is not to be doubted from
the demeanor of people in the court
room that the defendant in this case is
counted something of a heroic figure,
| and that hundreds of people believe
he has been made the victim of cir
cumstances.
AS for the women spectators, their
sympathies were fully enlisted by the
solicitude with which Mrs. Ames locke ed
after the comfort of her husband. Mrs.
Ames saw that the chair in which
DIR. Ames sat was placed at precisely
the most comfortable angle, and that
the references he wanted were placed
handily to his elbow, and she also stood
between him and the crowd that want
ed to handshake the old man to death.
Ames' Friends Were There.
The courtroom was full OF old
friends of the doctor. A glance about
the auditorium was sufficient to bring
back memories of other days-days
when Ames was the supreme power in
municipal politics, and the owners of
the eyes that stared out from benches
in the rear were his henchmen.
But it is not to be doubted that
Ames has a good many enemies in the
crowd that watches the opening of his
trial. A good many of the men who
claim that Ames "trun 'em down" are
among the spectators, and they open
ly express their conviction that the
"old hellion is going to get what's COM
ing to him this trip"
One of the prominent witnesses is
Irwin A. Gardner. Gardner IS studying
medicine in Chicago, where he is said
to have an opportunity for professional
advancement. He appeared in court
shortly after the case opened, and did
no more than merely glance at DR..
Ames as he took his seat, but there
was the same smile on his curiously
inexpensive countenance that has ere
this puzzled the doctor. Gardner goes
back to Chicago today. He has been
notified that he will not be wanted as
| a witness for a week or more.
