Duchess Cecilia.

Berlin, June 7.-Crown Prince Fred
erick William and Duchess Cecilia OF
Mecklenberg- Schwerin were married
in the palace chapel during the after
noon while the clock on the plaza
marked and batteries here and in
every garrison town in Prussia and In
every sea where German warships
fioated began firing tSenty-one-g gun
salute at the same moment. In the
chapel one of the most distinguished
assemblages that could be gathered
in Europe, saw the simple wedding
service of the Lutheran church. Some
OF the sixty to seventy members OF the

and foreign states were the Archduke
Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the

naught; representing Great Britain;
Prince and Princess Albert of Belgium,
the Duke of Oporto, representing
Portugal; Prince Ferdinand of Rou-
mania and the crown princes of Den
mark and Greece.
These all stood in wide circle
around the altar, for there were no
pews and behind them, without regard
to rank, were the members of the for
eign embassies, the cabinet ministers,
a number of admirals, the command
ers of army corps and many persons
of the high nobility.
DIR. Dryander, the court chaplain,
with nine of the cathedral clergy
standing near him, conducted the
service.
At the conclusion of the marriage
sermon a reception was held in the
white room, and after supper had been
served, a torchlight dance, an unique
practice at weddings in the house Of
Hohenzollern for centuries, was per-
formed in a modified form by twelve
pages. This function came to close
after o'clock, the wedding party hav-
ing lasted more than four hours.
The honeymoon will be spent at
Hubertusstock, hunting lodge in a
large forest near Eberswalde, Prussia.

London, June liking Alfonso Of
Spain saw the sights of the metropo-

enjoyment. After receiving the diplo-
matte corps at Buckingham palace
King Alfonso attended mass at the
Roman Catholic cathedral at = West

don. at the Spanish embassy and paid
surprise visit to the house of parlia-
ment, which, however, had adjourned
before his arrival.

Before the end of this week the

king by not revoking his veto given
at Stockholm of the law for separate

his absence from Norway has suspend
