6 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.

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. ALL ABOUT AUGUSTA.

Augusta, Ga., Nov. 26.—The superior court is engaged With the murder trial of Robert Paschal, w-ho shot State Sims a few weeks ago in front of Cobb's saloon. Paschal had been a bartender there, and charged Sims with working him out of his job. There is nothing in the case or the parties to enlist either the sympathies or the interest of the women, but the court room contained quite a number of women all day.

Thousands of Persons in Gala Attire Throng the Streets—Soldiers on Dnty Without Arms—Booming Cannon and Ringing Bells Emphasize the General Joyfulness A Distinguished Com pany on Hand to Witness the Consum 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.” Perfect Health.

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.
