Paris. Aug. 5.--The marriage of Miss Anne Fallieres. daughter of the presi- dent of the republic, to J. J. F. Lanes, the presidents secretary, which Is to take place in the Church of the Made leine August 10, has raised the question whether or not the president can partioi- pate in the ceremony, owing to the fact that all French officials who were con cerned in the adoption of the law pro- viding for the separation of church and state have been accommodated Ac- cording to the church organ. the Gou- lois, the archbishop Of Paris. passing his conclusion on one of the acts of the council of Trent. has decided that in so much as the bann of excommunication was not published by Rome fin the churches and not given great promi- hence in the religious world, the pres ence of President Fallieres at the church would be tolerated" The pres ident will not be allowed to participate in the prescribed prayers and sacred rites, but he may pray individually. The Goulols says further that the pri- vacy of the function because of the mourning of M, Lanes will be accepted as pretext by the members of the cabinet and other officials for not at tending the church ceremony.

SEA OF OIL OFF HATrERAs.

Philadelphia, Aug, 5.-Capt. Olsen of the Norwegian steamship. Captain Bennett. which has arrived here from Jamaica, found big area of oil off the North Carolina coast, evidently the cargo of petroleum carrier or whaler, which may have foundered in the recent storm. He says that when north of Cape Hatteras his vessel passed through oil floating on the surface of the water covering an area of more than one hundred miles, cx- tending in all directions. Within the petroleum area the oil had stillei the sea, and 1t was as calm as the Della ware river on q summer day.
 Another unusual thing reported by Captain Olsen was the number of craos seen in the water south of Cape Henry. Thousands of them were in view evidently carried out to sea from Chesapeake Bay by the storms and unable to get back to inland wat CTS.

sToCE MARKET REVIEW.
Speculation 1Iampcrcd by bisIuicting
 Buoyancy in Wheat Market.

New York, Aug. 5-The specuia- ton for the advance in stocks was hampered again to-day by the dis quieting buoyancy of the wheat mar ket. The financial distrct has not rellnqushed It's comfortable faith that prosperous crops for the year are al- ready practically assured. The news of the drouth and high temperatures of the last few days. however, nave not been without disturbing effect, coming at a period recognized as crit tical for the spring wheat crop.
 The sinister import allowed for the rise in the price of wheat was of ef- feet in curbing rather than in pre- venting the advance. Prices in many instances, in fact, rose to new high levels for the present year. although yesterdays records were not greatly bettered in that respect
 Of the stocks which are favorites with the professional traders this was generally true. The advance In the price of copper at the metal ex- change, which has come 10 be looked for as an almost daily occurrence, was announced again and the group of metal lndustrials were all notably strong. National Lead and American Smelling especially were buoyant and outstripped their companions in the group.
 Some of the railroads running through territory in the south vet took up the advancing tendency after reaction set in for the spring wheat grangers, The spurt in Rock Island preferred was given some speculative significance as possible reflection of the entry into the movement of the group of capitalists in control of that property
 There was stirring at various points in tho list of industrias, which Is encouraged by the striking advance which has taken place in United States Steel, Amongst the factors making for restraint, besides the wheat damage reports, were the preparations making by the inter- state commerce commission to inves- tigate the proposed increase in freight charges.
 The resort to flamboyant advertjs- ing methods to incite a speculative furor in stocks was looked at asknnce as likely to arouse distrust rathor than to inspire a following. The sus- taineG strength of wheat told on the speculative tone of stocks as the day wore on and helped to make the clos ing easy
