Two bankrupts, with everything to gain

GRAND DUCHESS WEEDS.
Secret Morganatic Alliance Contract
ed With Russian OhiciaL

Berlin, March 10.-A sensation has
been created in court circles by the an
nouncement that the Grand Duchess
Anastasia of Mecklenburg- Schwerin has
contracted a secret morganatic marriage
with an official of the Russian court
The marriage is reported to have oc-
CURED at Cannes and is acknowledged
to have been arranged in order to give a
name to a child soon to be born, the re-
suit of an affaire de amour with her
coiffeur. This will be the third time the
grand duchess has borne a child since
the death of the grand duke in April,
1897.
The marriage undoubtedly is the out
come of a long conference which her
son, the grand duke, had with the
kaiser last week. The scandal following
the Dresden scandal so soon is the cause
of grievOus annoyance to the kaiser.
Anastasia has led a frivolous life for
years. She is connected with the roval
family of England. as her daughter.

NO APPORTIONMENT BILL.
Noftzger's Measure Is sidetraoked in
the House.

The house today sidetracked the
Noftzger congressional apportionment
bill by vote of AZ to 81 The bill passed
the Senate Monday and when it reached
the house it was referred to the con-
gressional appOrtionment committee,
which has uniformly killed all bills
which nave come before it because the
powers that be have decreed that there
shall be no reapportionment this year.
Brandon of Butler this morning
moved to recall the bill from the COM
mlttee and demanded a roll call on his
motion. He called attention to the facr
that the house last week instructed the
committee on congressional apportion-
ment to submit a report of some kind
within &c hours, and that the committee
had paid no attention to the instruc-
ton.
The roll call stood A for the motion
to 81 against it. The members voted as

always room for the man with hand

of men need is a development along the
general lines through the application of
