PUMP i Wedding of Prince Wilhelm Brilliant in Splendor. Is LINKING OF TWO NATIONS Baltic Agreement Between Sweden and Russia Sealed by Ceremony. Salutes and Pealing of Bells Attend Marriage Services. ST. PETERSBURG, May S. Prince Wil helm, of Sweden, second son of King Gus tave. the popular sailor prince who visited America in 1907, was married this after noon to Grand Duchess Marie Pavlovna, cousin of the Emperor of Russia and daughter of Grand Duke Paul Aiexandro vitch. The ceremony took place at Tsar-skoe-Selo and was accompanied by all the pomp and brilliant display character istic of the most stately court In Europe. In the evening a great state banquet was served, at which toasts were drunk to the good understanding- between Sweden and Russia recently readied in the Baltic agreement, to which today s wedding, the first in modern times between the ruling houses of the two countries, puts the seal. The beginning of the nuptial ceremonies was announced by the firing of five guns simultaneously at 9 o'clock this morning by the battery at Tsarskoe-Selo and uy the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul In St. Petersburg. The thunder of salutes was heard almost uninterruptedly throughout the afternoon and evening. Few See Orthodox Ceremony. The wedding guests who took part In the ceremony assembled at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon at the great palace at Tsarskoei3elo. Only Premier Stolypln, the members of the cabinet, the president of the Douma and the president of the council of state, the principal Ambassa dors to Russia and their wives and a few of the highest dignitaries of tne empire found place 1n the small blue anu gold chapel of the palace where the orthodox ceremony was performed. The other guests were stationed, according to their rank In the various salons through which the bridal procession passed. . The robing of the bride was performed In accordance with court custom in the private apartments of the Empress. She was dressed by the Empress and the Dowager Empress, assisted by their maids of honor and their ladles In waiting. The bride wore on her head a jeweled diadem, and from her shoulders hung a long trained mantle of strawberry velvet lined with ermine. In the procession the tram of this garment was borne by five court chamberlains. As soon as the bride had been completely arrayed Prince Wilhelm was notified by the master of ceremonies and conducted to the Inner apartment, where Grand Duchess Marie was awaiting. Start of the Procession. A. salute of 21 guns and a blare of trumpets announced the start of the pro cession.

For one week just HALF REGULAR Duke Ferdinand and Crown Princess Marie of Roumanla. attended by the court ushers and marshals and other functionaries. Then arm-in-arm came the bridal pair. Behind the young couple marched Prince Nicholas and Prince Andrew of Greece, and their wives; Prince Christopher of Greece, and Prince Carl of Sweden and his wife. The guests from foreign courts were followed by more than a score of Rus sian grand dukes and grand duchesses Including the three oldest daughters of Emperor Nicholas, Grand Duchess Olga, Grand Duchess Tatiana and Grand Duchess Marie, the eldest being 13 years old. The Grand Duchesses, like all the invited ladles, wore the picturesque court costume of high pearl-encircled caps, and low-cut dresses. Service In the Chapel. The Imperial guests were received at the chapel doors by the metropolitan of the court and a number of priests. After the Emperor had been blessed and sprinkled with holy water, he conducted the bridal pair to the dais before the great golden gates on the high altar. The wedding rings were brought from the altar on golden salvers and placed upon the fingers of the bride and bride groom by the Emperor's confessor. The Metropolitan then completed the rites of the Russian marriage service, two of the bride's nearest relative hold ing crowns over the heads of the bridal pair during the ceremony. While the Te Deum was being chanted an Imperial salute of 101 guns was fired. The pro cession then returned to one of the ante salons, where the Lutheran marriage ceremony was performed by the Swedish Bishop of Lund. This brought the after noon programme to an end. Banquet In the Evening. The nuptial dinner was served at 7:30 o'clock In the evening. Chamberlains and gentlemen of the court stood behind the chairs of the imperial and royal guests and presented the various dishes and wines to them. Toasts were drunk to the Emperor and Empress of Russia, to the bridal pair and to their parents, to the imperial family and to their loyal Russian suojects. i After the dinner the members of the Imperial family and their royal guests participated in a polonaise. This stately progress around the great reception hall had something in the nature of the Hohenzollern torch dance. After this function, the guests were driven In state to the Alexander palace, the private residence of the Emperor, the bridal pair riding with their sponsors in a gala equipage. The Emperor, the" Em press and the Dowager Empress were surrounded by torch-bearers and escorted by a company of the Emperor's Cossack guards in brilliant blue and scarlet uni forms. At a late hour in the evening the bridal pair took a special train for St. Peters burg, where the honeymoon will be passed at the palace of the late Archduke Sergius. During the day there were services In all the churches of the empire and in St. Petersburg church bells pealed through out the entire afternoon. Northwestern People In New Tork. NEW TORK. May 8.

BILL FOR APPROPRIATION Author of University Measure De fends It Before Organization That Invokes Referendum on It. Session Given to Subject. ALBANY, Or., May 3. (Special.) "Bearding the lion in his den," was the experience yesterday of Allan Eaton, Representative from Lane County, author of the University of Oregon appropriation bill, who addressed the Linn County Council of the Grange, which originated the movement invoking the referendum on the appropriation. Eaton spoke in defense of the appropriation and was as sisted by Professor L. R. Ackerman, of Eugene, president of the University of Oregon alumni. Eugene Palmer and Cy rus H. Walker, who have been the lead ers In the referendum movement, spoke in support of the effort to defeat the appro priation. The Linn County Council met with Oak Plain Grange near Shedds in a public meeting notable in that the leaders of both the supporters and opponents of the University appropriation were present. The entire afternoon was given over to this measure. The two Eugene men were present for the discussion upon the in vitation of the Grange. Representative Eaton was the first speaker, and gave in detail the needs of the University of Oregon, the causes for the increased appropriation, and how the money would be expended. He was fol lowed by Professor Alderman, who spoke in general defense of higher education and the State University In particular, and told of the injurious effects which would follow if the referendum on the ap propriation should be sustained. Following these arguments. Eugene Palmer spoke in defense of the referen dum movement, and Cyrus H. Walker followed him. Both speakers asserted that the movement was not particularly against the University, but was in gen eral check of excessive appropriations and the means by which they were se cured In the Legislature. The morning session of the Council was devoted to Grange business, and some im portant action was taken. The Linn County delegation to the State Grange was instructed not to bring up the ques tion of the University appropriation be fore the State Grange unless forced to do so.

C the making of any laws regulating their business. If they cannot defeat the enact ment of such laws then they defiantly or surreptitiously break them. This Insolent disregard for alt law has been one of the potent agencies for arousing public opinion against the saloon and the liquor business. The liquor men have no regard either for the laws of God or of man. In harmony with this principle of action, the liquor forces of the state are once again endeavor ing to destroy our local option law. The Mayor of Medford. a tool of the llqur deal ers, has presented an amendment to the Constitution of our state whereby it Is proposed that incorporated towns and cities may have what he terms "home rule." The real p'urpose of this amendment Is to nullify all the criminal laws of the state as far at cities and towns are concerned. Now there are several reasons why I am opposed to this amendment. A little town of 200 people could Incor porate and run saloons and dens of vice In the midst of a county where the over whelming majority of the people were op posed to the liquor business. A county might vote "dry" but 125 voters In a town of 20o citizens could vote to have the saloons In that town and thus force upon the peo ple of the entire county to accept the pres ence of saloons and also make the people of that county . bear the entire expense of the poverty, crime and misery produced by the damnable business. In the second place, this proposed amend ment would permit the lawless element to control the whole question of regulating the saloon, the gambling den and all other places of vice. The people who are willing to mate a living by debauching and destroy ing the boys and girls of our cities and towns would virtually be beyond the power o-f the state to control. They could run wide-open towns by colonizing enough votes to carry the town "wet" and by electing their own officers, absolutely ignore all pub llo sentiment for moral decency and once again be In a place where they could de fiantly ask the people "What are you going to do about it?" To pass this amendment would mean the nullification of our local option law and place the whole state In the hands -of the gamblers, the divekeepers, liquordealers and the entire horde of corrupt politicians who In the past have lived by graft and the ex ploitation of city vices. 1 am opposed to this amendment because It Is proposed by those who have no regard for the moral welfare of the community. There Is not a solitary moral argument in favor of this amendment. The whole pur pose is to once again put the government of our towns and cities Into the bands of the Immoral forces. The people who believe In the progress of our state, commercially, morally. Intellectually and politically will work and vote against this amendment. The friends of local option need . to be aroused. The 'people need to understand that thla proposed amendment Is simply a deception both In Its wording and in Its purpose. In the wide sweep of temperance reform across the country. Oregon will have a foremost plaoe. The people now have an opportunity to defeat this amendment with such an overwhelming majority that the liquor deal ers will learn that it Is a waste of time and money for them to attempt to destroy our local option law or dodge the enforce ment of It when once the peple in a district or county have decided that the saloon must go. There Is not a solitary moral argument in favor of the saloon. It is a lawless busi ness and the center of lawlessness and crime. It pauperizes labor and destroys Its efficiency. It Injures business, for there are hundreds of towns that can testify to the large Increase of business where the saloons have been abolished. It Is the most deadly foe ever conceived of the American home. Shame, disgrace and degradation follow In Its wake. No government can afford to take revenue from a traffic that causes ten times as much expense to take caro of its results as it brings revenue to the government. What shall It profit a town, a county or a state to gain revenue and debauch its citizenship? I trust the people will vote "No" to the Reddy amend ment and at the same time wipe out the saloons on the East Side by an overwhelm ing majority. Buying a 50-Cent Umbrella.

AI7C T New York Cotton Exchange Is Under the Lash. KNOX SMITH IS SEVERE Method of Fixing Prices Unfair and Drives Cotton Merchants Into Ruin Plea of Necessity Is Not a Good Excuse. WASHINGTON, May 3. In the report on the operations of the cotton exchanges which he has prepared in response to a resolution of the House of Representa tives, Herbert Knox Smith, the .Commis sioner of Corporations, unsparingly con demns the methods pursued by the New York Cotton Exchange and declares that, if it cannot exist without those methods, it ought not to exist at all. The principal subject of inquiry was the differences between the price of middling cotton and other grades. All future contracts are based on the price of middling, but the seller may deliver any grade and the exchange fixes the differences between the price of middling and the grades actually delivered. The New York exchange has a committee which fixes these differences every six months and there are often wide vari ations between the differences thus fixed and the differences as shown by sales of actual cotton. The New Orleans exchange fixes the differences dally on the basis of actual transactions. The New York system is called the "fixed" and the New Orleans system the "commercial" differ ences. Causes Failures In South. After pointing out the defects in the New York system, Mr. Smith says: The foreign criticisms were strikingly Illustrated In November, 1906. as the result of the failure of the New York revision com mittee to establish correct differences. Owing to abnormal weather conditions, the com mercial values of the lower grades of cot ton fell very sharply from the price of middling. The revision committee failed to adjust Its "fixed" differences to the actual situation and established differences of law grades which very heavily overvalued them. As a result the future contract price at New York dropped abruptly from the price of spot middling, to the tremendous loss of a vast number of holders of future con tracts for cotton and the profit of the few experts who understood and anticipated thJ effect of the system. Hundreds of men also, wno had hedged cotton by ttuylnff contracts In New York, were injured by this striking dlHturbanre In the parity. A num ber of failures In the South w-ere chargoJ to this one cause alone. One result has been to reduce hedging In New York, as the possibilities of its artificial system were thus disclosed. As pointed out shove, such a disastrous disturbance In the parity Is exactly what is brought about by the errors in the fixed differences in New York. Mr. Smith approves the New Orleans sys'tem, saying the trouble Is only In oc casional careless or improper application of It. He continues: New York Not a Market. , There is at present a fundamental differ ence in conditions between the New York and the New Orleans market, which doubt less Is one reason for the difference insys tem, though by no means an excuse there for.

Cotton usually takes the cheapest route to the mills, and this route . does not include a stop-over at New York. As a result transactions in spot cotton In New York are quite small, and thus there is not in New York such a market In actual cotton as will furnish reliable quotation to be used In fixing contract differences. This, however, does not prevent the appli cation of the commercial-difference principle In substance to future contracts in New York. The commereial differences existing in the leading Southern spot markets can be used as a basis for contract differences. It would not be strictly necessary to revl&e the contract differences as often as changes In such commercial differences occur. If the contract differences were revised weekly or even monthly the substantial advantages of the commercial-difference system could be secured. j No Excuse for Existence. It Is contended by many that such a re turn to the commercial-difference system would, because of the disadvantages of New York's location, destroy the business of the New York Cotton Exchange. There Is little reason to believe that any such result would occur. However this may be, the New York Cotton Exchange, If It can not exist under a juet and equitable system, has no excuse for existence at all. The present New York system of fixed differences Is uneconomic, in defiance of natural law, unfair. -and, like all other attempts to defy natural law. re sults In such complex and devious effects that the benefit of its transactions accrues only to a skilled few. CONFERENCE SESSIONS END Bishop Hogue Preaches Sermon to Free Methodists. Stirring services were held in the First Free Methodist Church, East Mill and East Ninth streets, yesterday. The meet ings marked the close of the conference gatherings. Bishop Wilson Thomas Hogue preached the morning sermon. He said in part : "We must not think that we alone will enter the kingdom of God, for if this church alone made up the population of Heaven, there would not be many in 1 Heaven, for we are few in number. A great many people will get to Heaven whom we never dreamed could get there. Some will not get to Heaven whom we thought were sure to reach Heaven. Some will be surprised that they get to Heaven. No, brethren, there will be a great many people go ' to Heaven outside the Free Methodist Church. Travel will teach any one that other people know more than we do. I believe in large families. When I stop at a house where there are no children. I feel like going outside and find some children for the chlldlej-s family. S I think the Lord will have a great big family in Heaven, and they will come from a great many souives. The Lord takes a great many in infancy before they have sinned. Hn will gather from the heathen lands according: to their enlightenment. Somehow tho l)rd will save a great many ppople. 1 do not ascribe all saving power to th Free Methodist Church, although if? was born In tribulation and persecution and I was born into it In the midst of that storm myself, it has continued to live in spite of the predictions that it munt pass away, and I am not ashamed of the company I am with.V For over an hour and a half Btsbop Hogue continued to speak with great force and eloquence, pressing home the doctrine of holiness and sunctiflcation, and love to neighbor, which are the cardi nal principles of the Free Methodist Church, and he closed with a powerful plea for a deeper consecration of the entire being to the cause of salvation. During the delivery of the sermon, the speaker held the entire audience and swayed It as one person, sometimes rousing the people to heights of spiritual ecstacy, then convulsing them with laughter, and again turning their laughter into tears. At the close of tho discourse 35c, 50c, 65c FANCY RIBBONS, from 4 to 7 inches wide. The patterns are Dresdens, plaids, stripes and jac quard effects.

VJJC the whole congregation arose and sang a hymn with fervor. Following the sermon. Rev. W. J. Johnston was ordained as elder by Bishop Witeon, assisted by Elders W. N. Coffee, W. Q. Goode and F. J. Smith. In the afternoon the Women's Missionary So ciety held & rally. A big meeting was held at 6:30 o'clock and another at S P. M. Bishop Hogue delivered a sermon to a large congregation. He will speak to night and tomorrow night In the Olive Branch Mission in North Portland, which will probably be the last time he will be heard in Portland. The next conference will be held In Springfield, Or., the last week in May, 1909. During the present session $300 was raised to help the Seattle College, and nearly $200 to help pay the debt of the First Church of Portland. The most I notable change in ministers is the as 1 nignment to the Portland First Church of Rev. John Glen, who formerly served the church for three years na pnMor.
