BY POPULAR ACCLAIM JOHN DILLON 18 INSTALLED AS LEADER. How Irish Politicians Regard the Present Situation — Pledges Which Must Be Exacted From Gladstone—A Strange Political Alliance—Marriage of Julian Story and Emma Eames—Dr. Phillips’ Bride—Work of the.World’s Fair Com- missioners—Events in England. Loxpon, Aug. 1.—Parnell is still determined to ight with both fists. He left London to- night for Ireland, where he addresses a meeting to-morrow at Thurles, under the walls af Archbishop Croke’s palace. But John Dillon is already, by popular acclaim, the leader of the Irish people. His announce- ment of opposition to Parnell was a stagger- ing blow to Parnell’s prestige, and in the minds of the English Liberals reduces the former leader to the rank of a guerrilla. In- deed, before Dillon’s release it was apparent that many of his followers were becoming shaky in their allegiance. He gives no sign of yielding, but, except in Dublin, he can hardly be said to have a respectable following. There the multitude is with him still and beyond question he would be returned in a general election. His refusal to pay the costs of the O’Shea divorce suit is adding to his unpopularity. People say that as he got O’Shea’s wife away, he ought to be willing to meet the court ex- penses of the husband. There is much doubt as to Parnell’s fnancial condition. Mrs. O’Shea has property in her own right and will come into considerable more, whatever may be the result of the suit about the estate of the late Lady Wood. On the other hand Parnell has been extravagant of his private meansinthe development of his Wicklow property, and in carrying on his futile contests of Irish seats. It is thought there may de an element of revenge in his opposition to Capt. O’Shea’s claim for costs, as the impression is general that O’Shea was well paid for breaking down the Irish leader. THE FIGHT WILL GO ON. Just before the train bearing Parnell to Ire- land left London this evening, the corre- spondent of the SunpaY Post-Dispatog had a conversation withthe deserted leader. While declining to speak in the first person for aas interview, Parnell gave the correspondent permission to cable his views on the latest crisis. Parnell was impassive as usual and spoke ofO’Brien’s andDilion’s conduct as if it did not affect him atall, but was an exceed- ingly unfortunate occurrence for the other side. Parnell said he quite expected such action on their part. That all his caicula- tions for the future have been made with full allowance for the final opposition of both O’Brien and Dillon. As to the effect on the elections, Parnell seemed to think that while it would injure his position with constituents where he was already in the minority, it would not harm him in Mayo, Roscommon, Galway, Olare, Dublin and Cork, where he still counted on a stanch following. Parnell said that in Thuries to-morrow he would deal with the situation fully, but preferred not to anticipate his action by an interview. He expressed the opinion that now O’Brien and Dion had thrown them- selves into the lap of the Liberals they should at least demand from Gladstone some definite statement as to what sort of home rule he intended to offer Ireland. Sucha confidence on Giadstone’s part was the least return O’Brien and Dillion could accept for their trustful confidence in any English party. Parnell said Gladstone had now been six years deciding upon the provisions of his home rule bill. EH he still remained undecided Irish people have good grounds for suspicion. Besides this, there was another advantage in obtaining pledges from Gladstone. It is notorious that no one had the least faith in Harcourt’s sincerity. The only way to bind Harcourt and the Lib- eral party was to secure definite pledges from Gladstone. Farnell said he intended to appear against the order made against him for bankruptcy for O’Shea’s costs. As to the reported re- lease of $20,000 from the Paris funds for regis- tration purposes, that was still undecided. Parnell said he could not sav anything about bis visit to America. He intended to go if he could, but no details had been arranged. Several people cheered him as the train roliea out of the station. WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. Among Irish politicians generally the im- immediate effect of O’Brien’s and Dillon’s declaration against Parnell has been to make ihe confggion worse confounded. If, instead cf Jumping into the arms of the McUarthyites when released, Dilion and O’Brien bad evoted a couple of weeks privately in in- fuencing Parnell and his followers, it is Lighly probable they could have effected a ‘tllement, or certainly have detached some Farnell's men. But their impetuous dec- 4ration against Parnell has thrown them ‘to a position of hostility to Parnellites. ihe latter are so angered that they are stiffer an ever in their support of Farnell. uch is the present position, but it is quite Usely if O’Brien and Dillon take aggressive measures Parnell's following will become creatly reduced. Any notion that it can de “i ped out altogether is simply absurd. ~alisbury has finally made O’Brien a bank- rupt for the costs of the libel suits, which amountto about $15,900. O’Brien’s friends sey he will satisfy the claim before it elapses. if he does not it will disqualify him from sit- ting in Parliament. Sry he has now in hand. rer, itis said, touched a farthing of his ‘ fortune, and does not intend to do 80. e has also accepted the position of Comparative neediness which this resolu- ton of her husband has entailed upon her, enc lives aitogether om the scale of his means, not off her own.

The Irish Tories claim that Balfour is betraying them to the enemy and is willing to conciliate the Roman prelacy at the expense of the Irish taxpayers. So great is the feeling aroused that Balfour has been compelled to abandon for the session his bill for training: schools, which was believed to conceal an insidious surrender ol Irish education to the Church of Rome. The Irish Protestants, being about one-fourth the population in number, and being considerably more im- portant in property interests, are opposed to any educational plans that do not make allowance for Protestant claims. Little doubt is felt that there is some understanding, implied or accomplished, between the Catholic hierarchy in Ireland and the government. The English Radicals, it is evident, will not consent to Irish home rule with the Catholic clergy on top, and the En- lish Tories at heart are not nearly 80 o to the Catholic Church as the Non- ° ists. On the other hand the Irish Tories have not lost the old rancor towards members of the opposite faith, and it was not singular that when they suspected Balfour of conced- ing something to Catholicism they s join hands with the Non-Conformists pose ROMANTIO WEDDING. 4 SECOND CEREMONY BINDS JULIAN STORY AND EMMA EAMES. Wirpsor, England, Aug. 1.—The Vicar of Bray completed to-day a romantic Emma Eames to Julian Story in the historic church 1,000 years old on the banks of the Thames. Nothingof this interesting event has been published here, yet the religious ceremony to-day can’t be quite a secret as there was acivil marriage in the London Registry Office last Wednesday. Story has been staying with a friend, JulfanjSturgis, who wrote the libretto of ‘‘Ivanhoe,’’ at Queen’s Mead Villa,a stone’s throw from Windsor Castle. Eames, since the close of the opera season in London, has been visiting Miss Vandeweyer at the Hut Bray of the Thames, four miles from here. One hour before the ceremony, the SUNDAY Post- DISPATCH corre- spondent saw Story at Queen’s Mead Villa. He was just going to dress for the wedding. Jam just back from Eton, he said, where Ispent five years at school. After Eton I was four years at Oxford. We shall go there after the wedding. I want my wife to see the place where I studied. We remain at Oxford three days and then return to Lon- don where l have portraits to be finished. After that we go to San Moritz, my father’s home, tospend sometime. Then we Venice will bring us into October, when my wife goes to America forthe opera in New York. I will accompany her. This willbe my rst visit to America. I will take a studio in New York. Wereturnto London next year for my wife’s engagement in opera at Covent Garden. Among our presents, said Story, is one very pleasing to me—a gold medal from the Berlin Exhibition for my portrait of my father, W. W. Story, which I exhibited there. We both wished the wedding Very quiet and issued no invitations. Russell Sturgis, a life- long friend, is my best man. There will be no bridemaids. I am much pleased with my wife’s success in Europe and hope she will meet equal triumphs in America. Here Story excused himself to dress for the wedding. One hour later he stood with his best man before the altar in the old church of Bray, awaiting the bride. Both were dressed in morning coats and gray trousers; white boutonieres. There was no music and no lights. Four bouquets of wild flowers were on the altar and were the only decora- tion. Eames came up the aisle leaning on the arm of Hon. Reginald Brett, Who gave away the bride, who was dressed in white satin with long train, very high at the throat, slightly puffed sleeves, deep flounce of lace, and veil held by a tiny wreath of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of white roses tied with white satin ribbons. The tiny daughters of Mr. Brett, Dorothy and Sylvia, took the place of bridemaids and held the train. Story and Miss Eames both pronounced the words ofthe covenantinclear tonesand were perfectly possessed during the whole cere- mony. Only six minutes were required to perform it. There was no signing of names in the reg- istry of the church on account of the civil marriage on Wednesday at Vestry Hall, Mount street, Grosvenor Square, London. Only seven persons were present besides the few villagers who straggled in. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Brett, Wald Story, brother of the groom; Russell Sturgis, Miss Vandeweyer, Miss Lid- dell and Miss Scott. The bridal party, after the return to the hut, remained long enough for Mrs. Story to change to her going-away dress, when they started for Oxford. The wedding was in perfect accordance with the wishes of both the bride and groom and could not have been guieter or more unassuming. LONDON TOPICS.

Lorpos, Aug. 1.—A gentleman who has just returned from a visit to Paris gives some very interesting information in regard to the actual official relations which exist be- tween the Emperor William of Germany and President Carnot of France, This gentieman says Presi- dent Oarnot’s proposed visit to London is the outcome of the direct personal effort and expressed desire of the Emperor of Germany, and that the visit will take place beyond a doubt if the consent of the French Ministry and the League of Patriots can be obtained. The visit is set down for an early period dur- ing the coming autumn, upon the express in- vitation of the Institute of Civil Engineers of London. The invitation was the result of the work of Kaiser Wimelm himself and had the cordial approval of Queen Victoria. A great many efforts have deen made here- tofore by the rulers of Germany and England to induce the President of the French Re- publie to visit the latter country, and but for the unfortunate circumstances attending the visit of the Empress Frederick to Paris a few months ago, the German Emperor and the President of France would have been guests of the Queen at one and the same time. It is not generally known, Dut is nevertheless a fact that President Carnot had partially accepted Queen Victoria's invitation to pay hera visit last year, just previous to the announcement of the in- tended visit tothe German Emperor. Presi- dent Oarnot has selected June as the time for his visit and it was arranged that the Kaiser should meet him in London, but the League of Patriots kicked up such a row over the Dowager Empress Frederick’s visit at st. Cioud that President Carnot abandoned the proposed visit. When Emperor William visited the Queen he conceived the idea of making Known his wish through the medium ofthe Institute of Oivil Engineers, President Carnot himself being an expert engineer, and it was in this way the invitation was extended. One of Carnot’s most intimate friends is author- ity for the statement, the silly outburst of the League ö there would have been to-day a thoroughly cordial feeling between France and paper quarrel between Maurel, the tenor, DREAMS OF EMPIRE. ee The Guelph Movement for the Res- toration of Hanover’s Throne. A Conspiracy Which May Grow Into Rebellion in Germany. STATE SOVEREIGNTY ASSERTING ITSELF IN BAVARIA. Another Danger Threatens the Imperial Government of Prussia—How Europe Regards the Compact Between France and Russia—Servia May Be Drawn Into the Agreement—Why Carnot Failed to Meet the Kaiser in England — News From the Continental Capitals. Buntaw, Aug. I.—- Wulle the German Em- peror is amusing himselfon the edge of the Arctic circle dangers Of a grave character are threatening the Spire from within. The agitation in Ha no er in behalf of the old royal house has assumed proportions of late that Prussia can no longer ignore. Hereto- fore the Prussian authorities have acted on the assumption that the Guelph move- ment was sentimental, that it was a natural and creditable expression of devo- tion to a family that had ruled over Hanover for centuries, and if not to be encouraged, at least to be condoned as an example of rever- ence for the divine right of crowned heads. But of late startling proof has come to the Government that the Guelph movement in Hanover is a conspiracy for the overthrow of Prussia. It is the story of the Jacobins over again with the descendants of the Georges instead of the exiled Stuarts as heroes and heroines of the drama. What was sentiment has developed into treason, looking at the matter from the Prussian stand- point. The restoration of the house of Han- over is the deliberate purpose of the exist- ing organization, which loses no opportunity to keep alive popular recoliection of Han- overian independence. The Duke of Cum- berland is undoubtedly aware of this, and it is equally certain that he bas not given up hope of becoming King of Hanover. Otherwise he would not hesitate to accept the magnificent offer which Prussia has made for the sur- render of his hereditary claims which are otherwise valueless unless he expects to sit on the throne of his ancestors, In view of the discoveries made the Prussian Government has suddenly adopted a ha * * 1 societies. the papers and lists of members of many of them and in numerous instances such clubs have been ordered to give up their meetings. No arrests have been made as yet, the Gov- ernment waiting to see the effect of milder measures. The authori- ties have even gone 80 far as to prohibit the decoration of the graves of Hanoverian soldiers who fell in defense of their country unless the royal colors of Han- over are detached from the wreaths to be placed on the graves. THE LAST BATTLE. On the 2ist of last month, by imperial authority, the people of Hanover were for- bidden to celebrate the battle of Langelsalza for which great preparations had been made throughout the ancient kingdom. The anniver- sary of this famous battle has been celebrated ever since 196. Lagensalzaisa small town in Saxony, which in the war between Prussia and Austria, known as the seven-weeks’ war, was the scene of a severe battle. The Hano- verian troops, 20,000 strong, were marching to join the Austrians, when on July 727 they met a force of about 10,000 Prussians. Aftera fierce conflict the small Prussian force was driven back, but the Hanoverians were 30 crippled as to be unable to advance, and a few days later were compelled to surrender to the advancing Prussian forces. This bat- tle was the last ever fought by Hanover as a kingdom, as shortly afterwards its king was driven into exile, and its territories tncorpo- rated into the Prussian domain. The battle is famous as being the only check received by Moltke’s men during the war, and the Hanoverians are very proud of it, notwith- standing the fact that they were twoto one, and that the substantial fruits of victory were gained by the Prussians. The edict prohibiting this anniversary cele- bration was the first step In the severe meas- ures ofthe Imperial Government to stamp out the conspiracy, which has since assumed such a serious phase. STATES’ RIGHTS IN BAVARIA. . 10 iH Tile The police have seized of equal rights for all. keep within the line of constitutional agita- tion, but there is no disguise as tothe object. tended by the Muscovite watched with a wary eye by the leading spirits of the Dreibund. g #0 closely as it does upon the elaborate reception given to Kaiser Wilhelm on hig recent visit to En- gland, and the accepted results of the polit- ical phase of that visit, the entertainment of the distinguished French visitors at St. Petersburg is invested with more than ordi- nary interest to the rest of Europe. Asan indication of this watchful interest, the an- nouncement afew days ago that a Russian man-of-war had made her appearance at the entrance of the Dardanelles undoubtedly caused an unpleasant ghock to diplomatic nerves in certain quarters and possibly prompted Emperor William to brush the dust from his armor. Such an incident reminded England, espec- lally, of a period in history not long ago when Russia, taking advantage of the ter- rfhle blow that Prussia had given Austria at Sadowa, and when England’s policy of strictly minding her own business during critical periods was extremely difficult, but absolutely imperative to carry out, and when France was preparing for that storm which burst with such tremendous force in 1870, quietly but effectively ignored the treaty which was to come of the Crimean war and sent her ships into the Black Sea at pleasure. It is true that the fact is generally accepted that the Triple Alliance is sufficiently strong strong to control the political destiny of Europe just as long as any ulterior danger is great enough to hold the Driebund firmly to- gether. But it is equally true that, if certain complications arise, a close alliance offensive and defensive, between France and Russia would produce an alarming anxiety to the rest of Europe. IN THE ADMIRAL’S POCKET. Amid all the tokens of good-fellowship and the generous exchange of courtesies at St. Petersburg, enhanced by good viands and the rarest of old vintages, Europe is conscious of the fact that deep in the pocket of Admiral Gervais there is a big envelope in regard to the contents of which Europe would give a very pretty penny to be positively informed. The political alliance between France and Russia virtually arranged, if not formally signed, is to be cemented by intimate com- mercial reciprocity. Russia ig to be the corn- fleid of France, and French manufacturers are to have favorable admission to Russia. This year the calamitous condition of the Russian harvest will prevent the agricultural interests of that coun- try from profiting greatly by a pre- erential arrangement with France. but it is not doubted that next season Russian pro- duction will be greatly stimulated. The pro- posed pork tariff to take the place of pro- hibition now existing on American pork is sufficiently burdensome American importation. statesmen have excused themselves to the big producers of France on the plea that the new tariff! will be prohibition in another form, while it will evade the penalties of the McKinley law by being applied toall nations alike. If, threfore, Americans are under the im- pression that, when the bill adopted by the Chamber of Deputies shall have passed the Senate, French ports will be open to Ameri- can pork, they will find themselves mistaken. Not a pound will be landed without payment of a heavy duty. IT MAY BE A TRIPLE COMPACT. A very important political rumor which emanates from Paris is to the effect that et- forts are being made to form another triple alliance between France, Russia and Servia, and it is believed that the visit of young King Alexander to Russia will be a progressive step in that direction. Austria, however, is said to be somewhat disturbed at the pros- pect of such an alliance, and by way of dis- couraging the movement has invited King Alexander to visit Vienna at the conclusion of his visit to Russia and France. The telegraph wires to-day bore the news, significant in this connection, that the young ruler of Servia arrived at Kieff, , on Wednesday, and was received on the frontier of the Government of Moscow by the Grand Duke Sergius. On his arrival in Moscow a grand dinner was given in the Kremlin and He will be in Peterhoff to-morrow. The Czar and Grand Dukes will meet the sore-eyed youth at the railway station and drive with him to the imperial palace, where the Czarina and the Grand Duchess will receive him. he visited the French and Asiatic exhibitions. * * — 4 4 ** i > at 10 u be 3 „ — A 4 5 en ? gry * F 4 er Prax 2 bee : 1 a — — rare where there is not 20 muc of royal displeasure.

F., says: The United States Consul, T. N. Molloy, has received a message from Commander Peary of the ex- ploring party which is on its way to North Greenland in the steamer Kite. The letter came from Flowers Cove, Straits of Belle Isle. The Kite got jammed in the Straits about the 15th of June, and was still ice-bound when the letter was written on the 4th of July. However, it has since been ascertained that she got clear the next day and proceeded north. It was the intention of the party to call at St. Jonns on their way north, but hearing in Sidney that the Straits were clear of ice and the route being shorter, the steam- er went down on the back of the country, los- ing thereby three weeks. The ice blockade in the Straits was not completely raised until the 12th of July. REV. EMIL GROUARD. WInwiPec, Manitoba, Aug 1.—This morning Right Kev. Emil Grovard was consecrated Vicar Apostolic of the Athabasca River and McKenzie River District at St. Boniface Cathedral by His Grace Archbishop Tache reau assisted by their Lordships Rt. Rev. Bishop Grandin of st. Albert, Northwest Territory and Rt. Rev. Bishop Shanley of Jamestown, N. D. The ceremony was im- posing and was attended by prominent mem- bers of the Catholic clergy from all parts of Canada and from Minnesota and the Dakotas, It is the first time such a celebration was ever held in this country. IN THE ALPS. CELEBRATING THE SIXTH CENTENNIAL OF THE SWISS CONFEDERATION. BERNE, Aug. 1.—The commemoration of the sizth centennial of the establishment of the Swiss Confederation is being gaily observed by the people of the different cantons. Dis- patches from Geneva report that a general outcoming of the population to do honor to the occasion has occured there, and that the same is very generally true of the entire country. In this city, the seat of the govern- ment, the most elaborate preparations had been made to make the day a memorable one. The street decorations and the orna- mentations of the building are particularly profuse and well chosen. Over the Govern- ment offices the red-and-white flag of the confederation is, of course, conspicous. Private demonstrations, however, add to the flag of their country, those of France, Russia or Italy, as they variously incline in sympa- thy. The streets are filled with bands of mu- sic, marching sharpshooters, turner societies and benevolent associations, all hurrying to the place of rendezvous for the great parade. There is no display of soidiery about the city, the police being entirely competent to handle the good-natured multitude of Switzers trom all sides of the Alps. The President received the congratulations of the Diplomatic Corps at the Federal Palace. This afternoon a mag- nificent parade, participated in by the Regt - ment of Guides, the Dragoon Guards and a number of infantry battalions and all the civic societies of Berne, as well as many vis- iting bodies, took place. To-night patriotic addresses will be delivered and the people are promised an imposing pyrotechnic display. WILHELM’S CRUISE. THE STARTLING STORY PRINTED BY THE PARIS PRESS—RECEPTION AT KIEL. Paris, Aug. 1.—Several papers publish an alleged telegram from Berlin stating that the Kaiser was wildly drunk during his cruise on the Hohenzollern; that he was thrown down by a sailor and thus hurt hig leg; that he tions are being made for his recep- tion.
