ROYAL Marriage.

Berlin, Feb. 81. The Kaiser second
son. Prince Etel Fritz of Prussia, was
married this afternoon in the chapel OF
the Imperial palace to Duchess Sophie
Charlotte of Oldenburg. The ceremony
was attended by upwards of 1000 in
vited guests, including members of nearly
every royal family in Europe. Both civil
and religious ceremonies were performed.
At the conclusion of the ceremony pro-
cession was formed TO escort the bride to
an adjoining chamber, where the Ger
man Empress and suite of noble
ladies were awaiting her. Duchess
Sophie Charlotte was there crowned by
the Empress in accordance with the
ancient custom observed on all similar
occasions. The Empress, after embrac-
ing and kissing her sons bride, led her
to an historic toilet table, aud placed
the crown on her head, thus smybolizing
the brides admiitance into the imperial
family. When the Duchess arose, with
the crown on her head, signal was
given, and the bells of all the churches
in the Berlin, pealed for ten minutes.
Meanwhile the guests bad arrived at the
chapel situated under the great dome OF
the palace. The bride was escorted in a
state procession from the room in which
she was crowned to the chapel. The bride
and bridegroom walked arm in arm.
The officiating court chaplain, DIR. Dry
ander, conducted the bri lie aud bride
groom to their places in front OF the
altar, and the service, with selection
from Memberships Elijah, was followed
by the old German hymn "Praise be to
God" After DR.. Dryande had read
the wedding service the young people
exchanged vows. The Prince then
pl iced a plain gold ring on the third
finger of the BRIDES right hand, and
Duchess Sophie Charlotte placed SINH
lar ring on the Princes right hand.
There was a brief sermon by DR.. Organ
der, and the benedictiOn concluded the
service Thebridsl procession proceeded to
the Hall of Knights, where the bride and
bridegroom received the congratulations
Of their relatives and of all the other
royal guests. A great wedding banquet
will be held tonight. AT the conclusion
of the dance which will close the festivi-
ties the nobemen, still bearing the cands
les, will escort the Prince and Princess
to their bridal chamber. The mistress
of the robes will perform the last act Of
the ceremony by distributing among the
ladies present fragments of the brides
garter. In former times the brides
garter was actually cut up and distribu-
ted, but now this ancient custom is sym
bOlized by the distribution of bits OF
ribbon inscribed with the BRIDES name
i'm silver.

War Inevitable7

A dispatch from ST. Petersburg says
that most alarming views with reference
to the relations between Germany aud
France prevail 10 certain diplomatic
quarters, where the situation is consid-
cred to be extremely tense aud conflict
By no means unlikely. The ambassador
Of one great European power said yes
terdsy that war, in his opinion, was in
evitable and had, in fact, already been
decided upon.
at is sad" added the diplomat, who
is not ranked among the admirers of
Emperor William, ''that for the whms
of one man Europe must be plunged into
tn e horrors OF war;"
At the French embassy opinion ss to
the situation is frankly pessinistic, and
the outlook at present is regarded as ex-
tremely serious, The view being that
there ia no telling what may be 10 store

France and Germany he left face to
face 10 uncompromising opposition. The
abandonment of the French position il
regarded as impossible. Emperor Viii
liam's toast at the banquet in Berlin
Sunday with its direct alIusion to the
possibility of war. is quoted with appre-
hension. The pessimism, however, is
not general, snd German circles particn-
Iarly manifest far less alarm and affect
TO believe that war is out of the ques
ton. The Emperor's words are regarded
in these German circles as merely nat
ural phrases applicable To his military
| functions.
Russian officials personally take 4
gloomy view of the outlook and espec-
tally of the prospects of securing new
loan abroad, but the foreign Office is
officially on record as trusting that the
dispute ultimately will work out salts
factorily.

Russkoe Gosudsrstovo, in the course of
its financial leading article, says:
"The unsettled conditions in funds
and the money markets ia Europe are

ny agreement to the pleasure Of all the

litical horizon and the restoration OF

try like Russia will not meet With seri-

The Kalser's silver wedding.

Berlin. Feb. 27.-The twenty-ifth an
niversary of the wedding of Kaiser Will
liam and the Kaiserin is being celebrat-
ed today with great rejoicing in all parts
of Germany. These rejoicings are not
taking the form Of public demonstrations
or sumptuous banquets, bot are every
where couuecte with the numerous acts
OF charity by which Germans are mark
ing the historic event. Although the
Kaiser refused to accept gifts from his
subjects, he received silver wedding gifts
from more than 100 royal personages be-
longing to all the royal families OF the
world. One of the silver wedding gifts
was from President Roosevelt.
Kaiser William has drawn two ale
gorical sketches in uhich he mas en-
bodied his own sentiments in regard to
the festivities today in celebration of his
own silver wedding anniversary, aud the
determination ofthe marriage of his son,
Prince Eitel Fritz. One of the
sketches symbolizes the Kaiser's ideal of
a perfect marriage, TO commemorate the
Princes wedding. The other drawing is
symbolical of the Emperor's ideal con-
ception of lamiIy life as realized in a
quarter of century of welded life with
the Kaiserin, to commemorate The silver
anniversary.
The sketch on the perfect marriage
will be given to Prince Eiiel Fritz as a
wedding present, aud the latter sketch
is an anniversary gift TO the Empress.
1t is the intention of the Kaiser to pre-
sent reproductions of the sketches to all
his friends among the foreign rulers and
executives, including President Roose-
welt.

How MUCH more practicable, simple
and Just would it be to revise the Ding
lev tariff, instead of attempting to make
partial reciprocity treaties with some
favored nations to the exclusion oil
Others? A revision OF the tariff would
not merely remove foreign jealousies,

il would relieve the masses of American
consumers from spoIiatory exceptions in
