and Mile. de Felzins, cousin OF the
bridegroom. Miss Langham was mar
ried in a travelling suit of grey crepe
de chene and wore grey tulle hat and
an ostrich boa ofsoft white. Practically
all the diplomatic corps attended the
wedding. Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt led

Admiral Dewey and the general staff of
the navy and many distinguished officers

The Colombian government has not
yet got over its righteous indignation
because of the secession of Panama nor
its anger against the United States for
having so promptly recognized the new
republic. Just before Congress adjourned
the President nominated w. w. Russell,
secretary of the legation at Panama, to
be Minister of the United States at Bogo-
ia to succeed Minister Beaupre who left
there because of the failure of the canal
treaty negotiations with Colombia. Co
lombia has intimated that the presence
of United States Minister at Bogota is
not desirable and for this reason 1t is
probable that Mr.. Russell, on his arrival
here from Panama will tarry for time,
while Colombia is considering the mat
ter The trouble of course is due to the
state of public feeling following the deal
by the United States for the Panama
canal.
