ception-LittIe Vessels Had
Fine Trip from Rio.

Buenos Ayres, Jan. 27.-Attended
by division of Argentine torpedo
boats, the American torpedo boat
f1otilla, which left Rio Janeiro Janu-

republic. The entire extent of the
public docks. where berths had been
prepared for the visiting feet, was

ing port the weather had been ex-
tremely stormy, but it gradually
cleared and brought increased num-
bers of spectators down to the har-
Dor to give silent but hearty welcome
to the American sailors. Lieut. Cone,
commander of the fotilla, was greatly
pleased with the hearty reception.

outside Rio Janeiro, the passage to
Buenos Ayres had been fine.

NEW YORK BANK Is CLOSED.
Comptroller Takes Charge of National
of North America.

New York, Jan. 27.-Comptroller of
the Currency William B. Ridgeley Sun
day ordered the National Bank Of
North America closed for liquidation
and appointed Charles Hanna, national
bank examiner, as receiver.
The aftermath of the financial storm
of last October in it's effect on this
bank has been in the shape of heavy
and persistent Withdrawals, the result,
according to President w. F. Have
meyer, of insistent rumors set afioat
respecting the banks condition. Mem
bership in the Clearing House associa-
ton enabled the bank to weather the
gale for a time, but the aid extended
by this association in the form of loan
certificates finally became the means
of bringing about the decision to go
into liquidation, when the call for
their redemption was intimated to the
directors on Saturday. The banks
indebtedness to the Clearing House
association is $2,200,000.
President Havemeyer declared he
believed the bank solvent.

.DETSCH is FREED BY JURY
STORY THAT. He THOUGHT FER

tation at the Risk Of His
Own Neck.

Philadelphia, Jan. 25.-After trial
of three days, Andrew Jackson Detsch.
who was charged with numbering
Harry Ferree in boarding house in
this city last November, was acquit-
ted late Friday afternoon.
Detsch claimed he killed Ferree in
mistake for a burglar and the jury
took this view of the case.
Detsch, who is % years of age, lived
with his young wife and child in an
uptown boarding house. On the night
of November 5, policemen heard shots
and traced them to the house. They
forced an entrance and on the third
floor hallway, in front of the door of
the Detsch apartments, they found
Ferree dead with three bullets in the
body. He was in his stocking feet.
Ferree was about SO years of age
and had occupied room on the Sec
ond floor. Detsch told the policemen
in the room and, thinking it was a
burglar, shot four times through the
door.
The police were inclined to accept
this explanation, but in searching the
effects of Ferree they found many let
tiers that had passed between Ferree
and Mrs. Detsch and number of sug-
gestive photographs. The police then
charged Detsch with having DELHI
erately killed Ferree. They contend
ed that Detsch learned of alleged mis-
conduct between his wife and Ferree.
that Detsch caused his wife to lure
Ferree to her room, and that Detsch
fired the shots when he heard Ferree
place his hand on the door knob.
Detsch maintained during the trial
that he did not know that the man
outside the door was Ferree and that
he thought he was shooting at a
burglar
He fatty denied that at the time he
suspected his wife's chastity, and re-
fused the opportunity to plead the
''unwritten law" preferring to pro-
tect his wife's reputation at the risk
of his neck.

Marriage Laws.

There could hardly be more prof.
liable undertaking for q young man
and young woman who contemplate
matrimony than study Of marriage
as a historic institution. It would
slrcv them better than almost any
thing else could do their relations to
society and to the state, and would
give them a personal understanding
of what the minister means when, In
the beginning Of the ceremony, he
says, mot by any to be entered into
unadvisedly or lightly" The laws OF
marriage in all Christian countries,
says the Youths Companion, are de-
rived from the canon law, that is. the
law established by the Christian
church in the middle ages. This law
was based upon the Roman civil law,
Influenced to a considerable degree
by Teutonic ideas. Marriage laws are
also influenced, and in some countries
controlled, in respect OF marriage
within certain degrees of relationship
or affinity, by the laws of Moses, con-
tanned in the book Of Leviticus. Grad
ually some of these prohibitions have
been relaxed. In the recent case OF
the deceased wife's sister act of Eng
land 1t was a matter Of controversy
whether the Mosaic law forbids such
marriages. The purpose of all statute
law, as applied to marriage, is now
and has always been primarily the
protection of the state, and secondar-
lily the safeguarding Of the rights OF
the contracting parties. The Roman
Catholic church regards marriage as
sacrament. The Protestant churches
Of western Europe reject this theory,
and in order to lessen or prevent
secret marriages demand that the
consent of parents be obtained. Even
in Roman Catholic countries to-day
marriage is governed by civil legisla-
ton. The civil marriage has been
said, indeed, to be the great innova-
ton Of the nineteenth century. In
most Catholic countries two services
are performed. The religious cere-
mony complies with the theory that
marriage is a sacrament, the civil
ceremony with the theory that it is
contract. In these countries the civil
ceremony alone makes the marriage
valid. The church ceremony alone
does not.

Linked With Count
AMERICAN MILLIONS AND TITLE
JOINED BY MARRIAGE OF
LAszLo SZEcHENYI.
Great Display Is Made During Wed
ding Rites in New York Home
Guests Numbering $50 Hear Words
Uniting Nobleman and Girl.

New York, Jan. 28.-The wedding o!
Miss Gladys Moore Vanderbilt, daugh
ter of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, to
Count Laszlo Szechnyi, member OF
the Hungarian nobility, lieutenant OF
Hussars and hereditary member of the
Austro-Hungarian parliament, took
place at the Fifth avenue home of the
brides mother soon after noon Mon
day. The ceremony was performed in
the presence of about $50 guests in the
salon on the Fifth avenue side of the
Vanderbilt residence. At one end of
the long room an altar was placed un-
der bower of bending palm trees, the
tops of which came together forming
an arch under which the bridal party
proceeded to the altar. About the
trunks of the palms were twined thou
sands of orchids.
Rector LaveIIe Does Honors.
Miss Vanderbilt was accompanied to
the altar by her elder brother, Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, and the count was
accompanied by his brother. The we'd
ding ceremony was performed by
Monsig M. ]. Lavelle, rector of St.
Patrick's cathedral, wearing purple
silk vestments and lace cope. He was
assisted by Rev. John j. Byrne. The
wedding chorus from Gaul's cantata
Ruth" was sung by 80 boys of the St.
Patrick chancel choir attired in sur
plices and red cassocks, accompanied
by the organ and assisted by the
cathedral's male quartet. The bride
wore a gown of ivory satin with en-
broidery, point lace and garlands of
orange blossoms. Her veil was of
point lace caught with sprays of
orange blossoms. She carried a
shower bouquet of orchids and gar
denias.
Avoid Gaping Throng.
Immediately after the wedding
breakfast the count and countess de-
parted upon their honeymoon trip,
eluding by clever strategy the throng
of people that pressed about the Van
derbilt mansion eager to catch even a
fieeting glimpse of the bridal couple.
A brougham, driven by coachman
and footman in the Vanderbilt livery,
drove up ostentatiously in front of the
Vanderbilt mansions at the Fifty-sev-
enth street entrance. A white rosette
decorated the bride of the horses and
white ribbon was tied to the whip.
The crowd broke through the police
lines and swarmed about the equipage.
Meanwhile Alfred Vanderbilt, broth
er of the bride, drove up quickly
to the Fifty-eighth street entrance in
big touring car. The doors of the
mansion opened and the countess and
her husband, in their travelling cos
tunes, stepped into the machine and
were whirled away before the crowd
was aware what had happened. The
destination of the bridal couple is said
to be Newport, where they will re-
main until early next month, when
they will depart for Count Szechnyi's
home in Hungary.

MR.. TAFT REPORTS
ON PHILIPPINES
PRESENT AND FUTURE OF THE
ISLANDS PICTURED AS
MOST BRIGHT.
Sharp Reply to critics-Total Annual
Expenditure Only $5,ooo,ooo-
Recommendation to Congress Con-
corning Business of Archipelago.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Nine years
after the battle of Manila bay, Secre-
tary Taft records the results of the
American occupation of the archi-
pelago and forecasts the future of the
Filipinos in an exhaustive report
transmitted to congress by the presi-
dent, with letter written by the
chief executive, commencing in the
highest terms the secretary's conclu-
sions.
The president declares that ruin
would have followed the adoption of
any other policy towards the Philip
pines than that outlined by William
Mckinley and carried forward through
these nine years, and asserts trium-
phantly that there is no brighter page
in history than that dealing with the
relations between the strong and the
weak in those islands. He adds that
the Filipinos have yet long way
to travel before they will be fit for
complete self-government.'
Taft Is Very Optimistic.
Secretary Taft's report records his
observations on his recent visit to the
islands to the extent of nearly 80
printed pages. Generally speaking,
the secretary is optimistic in high
degree in treating of this subject, even
though he cannot fix time for declar-
ing the independence of the islands.
In answer to the critics who have
made "the most astounding and un-
fair statements in respect to the cost
to the United States of the Philip
pines" he figures out total annual
expenditure of $5,O00,000 and he vigor-
ously denies the failure of the Philip
pine policy.
He says that great changes have &C.
CURED in the islands. The people are
now anxious to have the American
soldiers retained. There is high
standard of administration of justice.
Nothing is more popular than the con-
stabulary. There are no questions
between the government and the
Roman Catholic church, unless the
Aglipyan schism can be said to be
involved. ePace prevails in a greater
degree than ever before in the history
of the islands. The magnificent
Benguet road is now justified by the
results obtained.
Recommendations to Congress.
The secretary is willing to limit the
amount of sugar and tobacco that can
be exported to the United States. He
predicts a development of business
within Is years that will make the
Filipinos themselves stand high in
the worlds industrial populations.
His recommendations are that Phil
ippine products be admitted into the
United States free Of duty under rea-
sonable limitations; that present re-
strictions be removed on the acquisi-
ton of mining properties; that the
Philippine government be authorized
to conduct an agricultural bank, and
finally, that the islands be exempted
from the operations of the coastwise
shipping laws.
