STEWART GETS THE BONDS.
Secretary Carlisle Accepts the Bid of
the Syndicate.
The Delivery to One Purchaser Greatly
to the Advantage of the Government.
A Limited Amount of the Bonds
Offered for Sale to the Public at 119.
The Treasury to Gain at Least $50,-
000,000 of Gold by the Transaction.
Text of the Successful Bid and the
Names of the Purchasers.
New York, Nov. 26.—The sale of the $50,-
000,000 new government & per cent, bonds
to the Stewart syndicate is gratifying to
the officials, as the members of this syn
dicate have arranged to procure all their
gold outside of the treasury. The treasury
will gain at least $50,000,000 on this account.
Already members of the syndicate have
begun to deposit gold. There is only one
unfortunate feature in the sale of the
bonds to the Stewart syndicate. Fewer
bonds will go abroad as between $10,000,000
and $20,000,000 would have been taken for
foreign houses outside the syndicate if the
Stewart bid had not been accepted. There
are a number of foreign houses reported
in the syndicate, but as the disposal of the
bonds will be solely in the hands of four
members already mentioned few of the
bonds will be sold abroad, and for that
reason the check to gold exports will not
be so great as was expected.
There was a brisk demand for gov
ernment bonds to-day and at the
last call the February issues ad
vanced 1 per cent. to 118 3-8 bid
for the registered and three-fourths
for the coupon to 118 3-4 bid. The new
s’s Just awarded to the Stewart-Morgan
syndicate are 118 1-2 bid/ All the govern
ment issues were stronger, the 2 per cent,
rising 1 and the 4’s one-half a point. The
Pacific 6's advanced 101-2 per cent.
’J. Pleremont Morgan said this afternoon
that persons wishing to obtain the new
bonds can procure a limited amount, the
first $5,000,000 any way, at 119. It is said
that John D. Rockefeller of Standard Oil
fkme had a $10,000,000 interest in the syn
dicate, but he will be allotted only $5,000,000
of the bonds.
The steamship Lucania, from Europe
Yesterday brought $500,000 American gold
coin to the bank of British North Amer
ica. The qteamshfp Paris, from South
ampton also brought $500,000 gold coin. The
entire amount was put into the sub-treas
ury.
Washington, Nov. 26.—The Secretary of
th® Treasury has accepted the proposal of
John A. Stewart, president of the United
States TrUst Company, and his associates
to purchase the entire Issue of 5 per cent,
bonds, amounting to $50,000,000, at $117,077
with accrued interest from Nov. 1. The
proceeds of the bonds under this bid will
be $49,617,62 greater than they would be
if the other highest bids were accepted.
A very Important advantage to the gov
ernment In accepting this bid is the fact
that all the gold will be furnished outside
and none drawn from the treasury. It is
ailso more convenient and less expensive
to the department to deal with one party
rather than with many.
; Secretary Carlisle was informed late
this afternoon that the Stewart syndicate
h,ftd paid into the sub-treasury at New
York to-day, on account of the first In
stalment, $18,000,000 in gold. Assistant
Secretary Curtis stated this afternoon
that $5,000,000 of the new bonds were all
ready to be delivered and the balance
of $45,000,000 would be ready for delivery
after Dec. 3 next.
The following Is the text of the accepted

to-day had occasion to overrule the de
cision of the army quartermaster at the
West Point Military Academy. Some

ment.
The American makers protested, and
the matter being brought to the attention
of the secretary he ordered that another
advertisement be made and the English
machine rejected.

ing that he was prepared to prove irreg
ularities on the part of Judge Ricks, by
which he had profited to the extent of
$5,000, ante-dating the charges In the me
morial. Chairman Bailey said that this
would not be gone into, but that the in
vestigation. would be confined to the
charges made in the memorial.

A SCANDALMONGER SHOT.
Two White Men Lay Out a Negro Who
Maligned Their Mothers.
Albany, Ga., Nov. 26.—This morning
about 11 o’clock a shooting scrape oc
curred in East Albany, a suburb of this
city, which may result in the death of
Thomas Bradley, a negro who was shot
in the left side. The shooting was done
by C. W. Ferrell and a man named Hardin,
white, who were influenced to do the
shooting by statements that Bradley had
made about them to the effect that Brad
ley’s mother and the mothers of both
Ferrell and Hardin were all raised upon
the same plantation in Florida, and that
they were all negroes. The negro made
these statements boldly, and when sub
sequently accosted by Ferrell and Hardin,
made an effort to shoot Ferrell, but
changed his mind, began to run away,
and was shot in his flight. There was
no foundation for the negro’s scandalous
statements concerning the white women,
and the motive for them is found in the
fact that through Ferrell’s influence, I'ar
dln had succeeded in ousting Bradley from
a job and getting, it himself. This an
gered Bradley, and he immediately be
gan to circulate his scandalous state
ments. Ferrell and Hardin were arrested,
but gave bond for their appearance.

Ringing Bells Emphasize the General
Joyfulness A Distinguished Com

mation of the Match.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 26.—The day broke
cloudy and cheerless. Troops, headed by
bands of music were early on the march
from all directions and occupied all the
avenues of access to the winter palace,
massing in strong force in the Alexander
platz and on the. palace quay in front of
the palace, where the marriage of Czar
Nicholas 11, and Princess Alix of Hesse-
Darmstadt was to fake place.
Long before dawn the. people began flock
ing to the palace quay, which was soon
densely packed. By 8 o’clock in the morn
ing. the streets w r ere thronged with the
populace in gala at|ire. The whole aspect
of the city was that of a sudden awaken
ing from the dismal lethargy of the past
week to the life and brightness which is
the wonted character of the gay winter
season. Along the Newski Prospect, from
the Anitchkof palace to the great Mor
scai, leading to the Alexander platz, the
roadways were lined with closely packed
people awaiting the passage of the czar
and the Prince of Wales with their suits
from the Anitchkof palace. A salute of
twenty-one guns from the fortress across
the river Neva announced that the bride
groom had started from the Antichkof
palace and soon a dozen close carriages
whirled swiftly along the route, a mile
and a half in length, from the Anitchkoff
to the winter palace, amid incessant
cheers of the populace. The czar and his
attendants arrived at the winter palace at
10 o’clock.
All who had been Invited to witness the
marriage ceremony had been directed to
assemble in the rooms to which they were
respectively assigned by 11:30 o’clock at
the very latest.
In St. George’s Hall were assembled the
council of the empire, the foreign ambas
sadors and the imperial ministers and
their wives.
In the concert hall were the attaches of
the court, in full court costume.
In Nicholas and Avant halls were as
sembled the military household of the
czar, the suites of foreign sovereigns
and princes and the grand dukes, gen
erals, admirals and officers of the guard.
In Armorial hall, where the yjflves of the
dignitaries of the first class, the nobles
and the chief civil employes of the gov
ernment.
In Field Marshals hall were the mayors
of St. Petersburg and other cities, the
leading bankers, merchants and others.
The holy synod and the clergy had as
sembled at the cathedral. The czarinajs
ladies of honor left the concert hall, where
they had assembled, and proceeded to
the apuartments of Princess Alix, where
they assisted in completing her toilet in
the presence of the czarina, the Princess
of Wales and the grand duchesses. The
formality of making the bride’s toller
being over, the ladies of her sulfo re
turned to the concert hall.
In the meantime Emperor Nicholas, the
king of Denmark, the king of Greece,
the Prince of Wales, the grand dukes and
the royal princes were grouped In Mala
chite hall, where they awaited the arrival
of the bride. At 11:30 o’clock Prince Dol
gouki, grand master of ceremonies, and
Count Vorontzoff-Darhoff, minister of the
imperial court, announced that Emperor
Nicholas was ready, and the Princess,
her trail borne by four court dignitaries,
two on each side, and the extremity of
the garment held by the grand chamber
lain, entered the hall. She wore a jew
eled crown and a robe of white brocaded
silk, with a mantle of strawberry colored
velvet, trimmed with gold and a double
row of ermine. As the procession
to the cathedral was being formed fifty
one guns were fired from the fortress.
The spectacle was one of the utmost
brilliancy as the procession defiled from
the gorgeous Malechite hall and traversed
the Court Nicholas, AvanL Field Marshal
and Armorial halls, through the entire
length end breadth of the palace. When
the procession reached the cathedral it
was met at the entrance by the ‘archpriest,
Janyscheff, the chaplain of the late czar,
Alexander, the holy synod and the court
clergy, bearing crosses, holy water and
sacred books. The -archpriest conducted
the czar to a position upon a dais which
had been placed tn the center of the chan
cel behind the rail. As the emperor took
his place at the right of the dais, the
czarina led Princess Alix to him and placed
her at his left hand. The czarina then took
her place in the chancel at the right of the
dais.
The crosses, holy -water and sacred books
were then placed before the Gate of Ikon
ostas, and the marriage service in use in
the orthodox church was begun by the
singing of Psalm 127. The ceremony was
of the most impressive character and
lasted nearly two hours.
After the psalm the archpriest said a
few words of instruction to the couple. At
the conclusion of this the prelate turned
to the czar and said "Nicholas hast thou
a good and constrained will and firm deter
mination to take unto thyself, this wo
man, Alexandra, whom thou seest before
thee?” r
To this the czar answered: "I have,'
reverend father.”
The metropolitan then said: "Thou
hast not vowed thyself to any other
bride?” -■
The czar answered: "I have not vowed
myself, reverend- father.” '•
The same questions were asked the
princess with similar answers.
After the prayer the prelate took two
crowns, and placing the first one in the
hands of the czar, saidj "The servant of
God, Nicholas, is crowned for the hand
maid of God, Alexandra, in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost.”
Placing the other crown on the head of
the bride, he said: "The hand maid of
God, Alexandra, is crowned for the ser
vant of God, Nicholas, in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Ghost.”
The prelate then blessed the couple
three times, saying: "O, Lord, our God,
crown them with glory and honor.”

After anthems and prayers the com.
munion cup was Brought and blessed.
The cup was filled and handed first to
the czar and then to the princess, each
taking a sip of the wine. The prelate
then took the couple by the hand, the
groomsmen and bridesmaids walking be
hind and holding the crowns over their
heads, and led them three times around
the dais; the choir meanwhile singing a
troparion. The rinjts were then exchanged
for the last time, they having been ex
changed twice before. The prelate then
took the crown from the czar, saying:
"Be thou magnified, O, bridegroom, as
Abraham, and blessed as Isaac and in
creased as Jacob, walking in peace and
performing in righteousness the com
mandments of God.’’
Taking the crown from the princess,
he said; "And thou, O, bride, be magnified
as Sarah and rejoiced as Rebecca and in
creased as Rachel, being glad in thy hus
band and keeping the paths of the law,
for God is well pleased.”
After the third exchange of the rings
the nuptial benediction was pronounced.
This was followed by prayers for the first
time for the orthodox and autocratic
Emperor Nicholas and for his orthodox
wife Alexandra Feodoraya, as the Print
cess Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt will here-'
after be known.
The ceremony was concluded at 1:30 p.
xn.
At the conclusion of the congratulations
the dismissal was pronounced and the
bride and groom and the wedding guests >
returned to the winter palace. The can- :
nons of the fortress fired a salute of 301
guns as the ceremony was concluded. i
As the bridal party came out of the. ca
thedral, the sun broke out through the
clouds and shone for the first time during
the day. The weather had grown much
colder, but the sunshine completely re
moved the dullnes which had pervaded
everything out of doors since daybreak.
The yellow standards floated out in the
stiff breeze from the palace and the fort
ress and around the palace the gaily
dressed crowds presented a moving mass
of color. i ..
There was no procession in. the streets,
ThC crowds were most orderly, apd the
troops assigned to keep order were with
out arms. Services were held in all the
churches during the marriage ceremony,.
and the church bells were rung throughout
the day.
To-night at 8 o’clock there was a mul
titude before the Anitchkof palace singing
the national anthem and cheering. The
czar and czarina appeared on the balcony
at Intervals amidst such roars of cheerfl
as have not been heard in St. Peters
burg for years. An eye witness of the
procession through the halls after the
wedding relates that the bride was very
stately, very beautiful, but somewhat
weary and sad.
London, Nov. 26.—A dispatch to the
Times from St. Petersburg says that the
members of the imperial family took din
ner together. Otherwise there were no
festivities to mark the wedding day of the
czar.
The Chronicle’s St. Petersburg corre
spondent telegraphs that the absence of
street decorations to-day causes much re
mark as being without precedent. There
are no illuminations to-night, nor any
signs of festivities. The correspondent
adds that the imperial manifesto would
occupy a page of the Chronicle. It re
duces the rates on loans by the land
banks to farmers. Scarcely anything is
left untouched. It is a comprehensive
document, breathing benevolence in every
line. It grants the greatest amnesty ac
corded by Russia for half a century, ex
cept the liberation of the serfs.

dent in Yokohama says that Japan has

on .the night of Nov. 21,. the. Japanese de
signing away for them to«escape. Another
is that during the’hottest of the fight
part of the Chinese fled to the warships,

London, Nov. 26.—A dispatch from Rome
to the Daily Graphic says; "The last news
from Tokio is that as soon as China shall
make her proposals for peace, Japan will
accept the good offices of the United
States in the negotiations.”
TURKEY BARS OUT OUR PAPERS.
Their Attitude on the Armenian Massa
cre Exasperates the Porte.
Constantinople, Nov. 26.—The recent
edict calling for the seizure at the fron
tier of foreign newspapers containing ac
counts of the Armenian massacres, pro
hibits the entry forever of any American
newspaper into Turkey. This action of the
present Turkish government is supposed
to be due to the attitude assumed by the
American press on the Armenian question.
London, Nov. 26.—1 n a leader on the last
Armenian outrages, the Dally News will
say to-morrow: "The foreign office needs
some spiriting in the matter of the Ar
menian massacre. Under the Berlin treaty
the responsibility for the delay of the re
forms in Armenia lies at our own doors.
The government ought to Insist upon them
or at least should tell the sublime porte
that the harrying of the Armenians must
end.”
