MOEMOXS TO BE DRIVEN AWAY.
Obnoxious Elders and Their Converts Incur
the IlMYill of a Baptist Treacher.
Nashville, July 27. Two hundred reo
plo in the twenty-third district of AVilson
county have banded together for the pur
pose of driving Mormon elders and converts
from that county. This action has been
takon on account of an incident that hap
pened recently while the Kov. John Bar
rett, a Baptist preacher, was holding serv
ices in Wetmore's school-house. Mr. Bar
rett was interrupted by some of the Mor
mon converts present,who asked him sever
al questions and then became insulting in
their language. Members of the congrega
tion madea move to resent this interference,
whereupon the Mormonsjumped out of the
window and dared them to come out and
fight. Two justices of the peace subse
quently prepared a big dinner and invited
the community at large to come and hear
Mr.Barrett preach, and to give them pro
tection. Every one expected that a fight
wouJd take place, but the Mormons stayed
away. The preacher called on the congre
gation to know how many would help drive
the Mormons out of the county. In re
sponse to his invitation all the men in the
congregation, about two hundred, gave
their hands, promising to drive the Mor
mons out by whatever means would be
necessary. The Mormons have been for
bidden to travel on the. roads, and notified
to leave the county or stop holding meet
ings. m i a

Slarrlage of the Princess Louise and the Ear
of Fife in a Private ChapeL
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
London, July 27. The one topio of con
versation and of newspaper interest to-day
was the marriage which was solemnized at
noon in the private chapel of Buckingham
Palace. It has been a long time since so
popular an event has taken place in En
gland, and it is safe to say that every one.
from the throne to the lowest commoner, is
satisfied with the match that gives the
dar.ghterjpf perhaps the best loved woman
in the kingdom to a British subject
against whom 60 little can be al
leged. The wedding itself passed oft
without a hitch, as is usual with affairs
whose programme has been previously ar
ranged with great care and precision. The
morning was gloomy, and quite up to the
hour of the ceremony rain was falling, but
the sunshine came out in the afternoon and
brightened the wedding-day with its ra
diance. So the old saying "Happy is the
bride the sun shines upon" was fulfilled
after all.
It was a great disappointment to the
many friends of the Prince and Princess
of Wales that the chapel selected for the
ceremony was so small, as the number who
could enter was restricted to the immedi
ate entourage of the royal household.
About a dozen newspaper reporters, who
were graciously allowed to be present, were
obliged to wear evening costumes, con
trary to custom, thus placing the gentle
men of the press on a footing with tbe
menials. Every one elso wore morning
costume.
lrincess Louise was calm, and. bore her
self well. IS be did not lliuch an iota, and
answered the questions put to her by the
Archbishop of Canterbury out of the ritual
of the church distinctly and withont fal
tering. Tho groom, now Duko of Fife, was
radiant. It was noticed that in passing
the Queen ho bowed reverently. The most
disturbed and nervous of all was the usu
ally imperturbable Prince of Wales. He
became exceedingly nervous as the time ap-
Iroached for him to give tho bride away,
lowever, he managed his part with much
grace. The Queen was bright and looked
greatly pleased. She exhibited no sign of
er reported recent indisposition. When
Mr. Gladstone entered the chapel to-day,
be reverently knelt down and prayed as is
his wont.
The Gazette to-day officially announces
the edvancement of the Earl of Fife to the
title of liukeof Fife. To-night the latter
gave a grand banquet to the employee of
Scott's Bank, of which he is a partner.
The Ceremony and the G nests.
To the Western Associated Press.
London, July 27. ller Royal Highness
the Princess Louise Victoria Alexandra
Dagmar, eldest daughter of the Prince of
Wales, and Alexander William George,
Earl of Fife, Knight of the Thistle, were
married to-day. The weather was unpro
pitious, as a rain was falling. The cere
mony took place in the private chapel of
Buckingham Palace. This was the first mar
riage that ever took place in the chapel,
which is small, and the number of guests
was therefore limited. The bride and
groom arrived privately. The Princess of
Wales, the Crown Prince of Denmark, the
King of Greece, Prince Albert Victor and
Prince George of Wales assembled in the
Bow Library of Buckingham palace at 11:45
o'clock and there awaited the arrival of the
Queen from her private apartments.
The bridal party, consisting of the Prince
of Wales, Princess Louise and Princesses
Victoria and Maud of Wales, left Marlbor
ough House, the residence of the Prince of
Wales, at 11:40 o'clock for Buckingham
Palace. Notwithstanding the rain, the
route to tho palace was crowded with spec
tators. There was a vast concourse of peo
ple opposite the palace. The Prince of
Wales was enthusiastically cheered.
On the arrival in the Bow
Library of the Queen, who Was accom
panied by the Grand Duke of Hesse,
the procession to the chapel was formed. It
comprised tho Queen, the members of tho
royal family, who had gathered in the li
brary; the King of Greece, the Crown Prince
of Denmark and other guests, and the of
ficers of the royal household. The proces
sion, on its way to the chapel, passed
through several royal apartments, in which
many of the guests who had found it im
possible to enter the chapel were
seated. Upon reaching the chapel the
Queen was escorted to tho 6eat prepared
for her, while th other royal personages
took seats on either side of the altar. Tho
Earl of Fife, who was attired in a High
land costume and wore the garter of the
Doffs, accompanied by his groomsman, Mr.
Horace Farquhar, took his position at the
altar rail and awaited the coming of his
bride.
The Prince of Wales, with the bride and
Princesses Victoria and Mand.of Wales,
and members of tho household, arrived at
the palace just before noon. They were re
ceived by the Lord Steward and the Vice
chainberiain and conducted to the Bow
Library, where the bride was joined by the
brides-maids, who were tho Princesses Vic
toria and Maud of Wales, Princess Lbuise
of Schleswig-Holstein, Princess Victoria
of Schleswig-Holstein, Princess Victoria
of Teck, Countess Feodore Gleichen, Count
ess Victoria Gleichen and Countess Helena
Gleichen. . Tho bridal party then proceeded
to the chapel.
The bride wore a dnchesse dress of white
satin, with a fiowing train. It was
trimmed with orange blossoms. She also
wore a wreath of oranzeblossomsandapoint-
a-gause veiL Tho brides-maids wore dresses
of plush pink faille, and carried bouquets
of pink roses. Tho Queen wore a dress of
black brocade. Her Majesty appeared to
be in excellent health and smrits. The
Princess of Wales was attired in pearl gray
satin, brocaded with silver. Her Royal
Highness also wore a tiara of diamonds.
Tbe clergymen olliciatiug were the Arch-
Disnop ot v;anterDury, ino isisuop or Lon
don, the Dean of Windsor, domestic chap
lain to the Queen, the Rev. F. A. J. Hervey,
domestic chaplain to the Princo of Wales,
and Rev. T. Tiegnmouth shore. Tho Prince
of AVales gave away the briu. A choral
service was sung by the choir of the Chapel
Royal, St. James. A feature of the serv
ice was the singing of a special anthem en
titled '0 Perfect Love." composed by Mr.
Joseph Barnaby. Many of the ministers
were present, Mr. Gladstone was also
among the guests. After the benediction
had been pronounced, the Qaeen kissed the
bride, and cordially greeted the groom.
After the wedding there were two break
fast parties in separate chambers in Buck
ingham palace. One party consisted of the
bride and groom, the Queen and other roy
al personages, and the other was composed
of the guests. Toasts were given to tho
Queen and to the bride and groom. After
the breakfast the Earl and his bride, the
Prince and Princess of Wales, the King of
Greece, the Crown Prince of Denmark and
the brides-maids returned to Marlborough
House, the bride and gridegroom occupying

BISJLUICK'S LATEST SCHEME.
Ills Efforts to Bring About Meeting Be
tween the Czar and the Two Emperors.
Cop y right 18&9. by the New York Associated Press.
Berlin, July 27. The greatest diplomat
ic triumph of Prince Bismarck life will
be achieved if he succeeds in bis latest
project, which is to arrange a- meeting be
tween the Czar, Emperor Francis Joseph
and Emperor William, in Berlin. News of
the Czar's assent to the proposition that he
should visit the German court on Aug. 23, was
received at the Foreign Office on Monday,
causing the greatest satisfaction. Prince
Bismarck immediately communicated with
Count Kalnoky, calling his attention to
the opportunity presented by the nearly
coincident visits of the Czar and Emperor
Francis Joseph, and proposing that an in
terview be held between the three mon-
archs, as well as conferences between him
self. Count Kalnoky and M. Do Giers. the
object being to dissipate all misunderstand
ings.
Officials here have been instructed to
maintain absolute silence. They deny all
knowledge of the Czar's intentions, and de
clare that they cannot count even upon a
visit from him. Tho semi-official press
have been similarly directed to maintain .
reserve on the subject, on the ground that
criticism might alter the present favorable
disposition of the Czar. The official circle
in Vienna is less observant of secrecy, and
discusses the chances of any interview.
Count Kalnoky, it is stated, has placed
himself in Bismarck's hands, but refuses to
make any overtures to the Czar regarding
ik meeting with Emperor Francis Joseph.
If Prince Bismarck persuades the Czar to
consent to the interview, the Austrian
Emperor will postpone his coming until
the 18th. He will not be present when
Emperor William receives the Czar, but
will go to Kiel for the naval review, return
ing atterwards to Potsdam, where it is in
tended tho Emperors shall meet. The
Chancellor will return here on the 12th
and remain throughout the visit of the
Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph. He is
supposed to be aiming, not at a definite
treaty of alliance involving Russia in the
central European league, but only to re
establish better relations between the
three empires and balk French negotia
tions for an offensive and defensive alli
ance with Russia. He has a foothold for
a renewed entente in the Czar's increased
intensity of hatred for the Anarchist.
Recent communications with St. Peters
burg regarding the plotting of refugees in
Switzerland leading to a common pressure
upon the Swiss government, afford a basis
for concert of action by the three power
against the Socialists, Anarchists and Nihi
lists. A definite understanding as to this
sphere of action would tend to modify ex
isting enmities. Even if only the semblance
of amity were obtained, it would give new
guarantees of peace for several years.
Prince Bismarck's chances of arranging an
interview have been strengthened bv the
support of the Russian embassador. Count
Schouvaloff, but everything depouds upon
the mood of tho Czar.
Tbe Kreuz Zeitung has semi-official ad
vices from St. Petersburg saying: The
Czar, who has frequently altered his inten
tions regarding the return of tho visit of
Emperor William, has now assented under
the persistent entreaties of M. De Giers and
M. Vishnesradski. Since the Borki acci
dent, the Czar has had a morbid dread of a
railway journey, even with the entire route
guarded bv select troops. He will be ac
companied to Berlin by the Empress and
the whole imperial family. The party will
proceed to Copenhagen after leaving Ber
lin." Russian papers, however, do not believe
that the Czars assent will bo obtained by
Prince Bismarck, even though backed by
M. De Giers and Count Schouvaloff Tho
Kovoe Vremya declares that the Czar goes
to Berlin simply as an act of courtesy, and
that his visit will have no bearing upon the
European situation, unless uerraany chang
es her policy by consenting to satisfy the
legitimate aspirations ot Russia.
BIRTH-PLACE OF COLUMBUS.
The Subject Revived by the Proposed Cele
bration A Jewish Newspaper's Claim.
Special to the Indlanaoolls Journal
London, July 27. The impetus given in
New York to the proposal to celebrate in
that city, in 1892, by a world's exposition,
the four-hundredth anniversary of the dis
covery of America, has .revived the dis
cussion regarding the birth-place of Co
lumbus. The Abbe Perretti, who is tho
cure of Calvi, thinks that Columbus, as
well as Napoleon, was a Corsican. The gen
eral opinion is that the discoverer of
America was born at Genoa, but other
places have laid elaim to the honor. Thus
Bnggiasco, Cocogeleto, Slavona and Nervi
have been mentioned, and now there is tho
shadowy pretension of Calvi. The Abbe
hasfouud the names of throe somewhat
famous sea-captains, Christopher Calvo,
liaotolomeo Corso.and Jacop Calvo. These
ho thinks are the unidentified relatives of
Christopher Columbus. True, they do not
bear the name made 00 famous
by their supposed relative, but in the mid
dle ages, as the Abbe rightly says, it was
not unusual, but, on the contrary, very
common for men to be known by tho name
of their native town, or by that of their
fatherland. These Corsican seamen,
whose names the Abbe Perretti has
found in the annals of three
Genovese historians Giustiniani, Fogli
etta and Bracelii correspond in dato
and other particulars to tho great-uncle,
tho nncle and brother of Columbus. ThU
can hardly be regarded as conclusive evi
dence, although it has sufficient interest as
a clew worth following up. But even if it
were proven that the family of Columbus
had a connection close or remote with
Calvo it would not set aside the long pre
sumption in favor of Genoa as the birth
place of the man who found the ocean path
way to the new world.
Another speculation about Columbus is
that he was of Jewish origiu. The Jewish
World, without indorsing this "daring sug
gestion." says that "the name Christopher
was frequently adopted by converts while
the surname Colon was borne by a distin
guished family of Jewish scholars. Chris
topher's brother Diego bore originally the
name of Jacob, which sounds
susniciouslv like a Shem Kadosh.'1
Further it mentions that "Jews figure
prominently in tho history of the discov-
erv. Tho plans and calculations for
Columbus's expedition were largely the
work of two Hebrew astronomers and
mathematicians. Two Jews also were em
ployed as interpreters by Columbus. One,
Louis de Terres, was the first European to
set foot in the new world."

AN UNSATISFACTORY. LAW,
It Bars Oat the Immigrant- We Need and
Permits Less Deslra Oues to Land.
Ececial to tbe Indian spoils .aifiL
Washington, Julr ' he indications
point o a speedy atte n Congress to
change the demagog; . alien contract-labor
law. The latest action of the depart
ment in construing the measure is to hold
that an Englishman who came to this coun
try for the purpose of accepting a book
keeper's position in the office of a firm of
Englishmen in New York is barred by the
act, and that he must be sent back. The
act, in its inception, was sensible
and good, but it was passed for the
purpose- of catching the labor vote of the
country at the time when such men as
Tarsney, of Michigan, and O'XeiL of Mis
souri, were posing as the Democratic cham
pions of all that was good for the labor in
terests of the country. It was never thor
oughly considered and no attempt was made
to tell in advance what its scope would be. .
It seems now that under the constructions
of tho department during tho last and the
E resent administration it can be used to
ar out the most desirable class of immi
grants, while permitting tho undesirable
classes to enter without trouble.
An Englishman who has been in this
country a great many years, who has built
up an extensive business in New York, wus
here to-day. Part of his business was to
consult the department a$ to whether he
would be permitted to bring some of his
relatives to this country, lie said that he
had a brother ever on the other side, and
several nephews, lie desired to cive thes
young fellows a chance to become good
American citizens, ana wamea 10 oner incm
places in his establishment. He went back
to New York to-day, convinced that ho
would not tw allowed to bring the boys
over unless he does so surreptitiously. The
Treasury officials are disgusted with the
law in its present shape, and it is said that
Secretary Windom will ask the President
to strongly urge upon Congress the neces
sity for materially amending the present
act.
Actmcr Secretarv Batchelor has written a
letter to the collector of customs at Cape
Vincent, N. Y., in regard to the enforce
ment of the law, in which he says: "The
law does not prohibit aliens or loreigners
from voluntary coming into this country
seeking for employment, and contracting
for work after their arrival here. One who
was an American citizen, but has fbecome
a naturalized citizen of anotner country is
an alien in the same sense of the law. As
to the case of an American citizen residing
in Canada, but without having;
been naturalized there, and com
ing , into this country unuer
a previous contract to labor the
question as to this liability under the law
will be decided when a case is presented
with its facts and circumstances. In view
of the many complicated situations and
close business relations along the Canadian
line, which apparently were not contem
plated or provided tor by the law, it is pre
ferred that they be submitted totthe con
sideration of Congress before a needlessly
rigorous enforcement of the law, possibly
causing unnecessary narasnip ana nnanciai
njury to American citizens.'f
INTERNATIONAL AMERICAN CONGRESS.
The Meeting Expected to Be of Great Benefit

Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal.
Washington, July 27. While the propo

countries will gather in Washington three
months hence, and will be initiated into
American methods of business, and of gov
ernment in the most thorough manner, it
is with the idea of perfecting preliminary
matters pertaining to this forthcoming con
gress that Mr. Blaineis engaged busily upon
the papers in the case at Bar Harbor just
now. Air. Blaine is greatly wrapped up in
this subject, and, in common with the Pres
dent, is determined that the renaissance
of tbe Republican party shall be felt dur
ing the present administration by the ma
terial growth of the trade relations be
tween the countries on the American con
tinent Congress made liberal appropria
tions in furtherance of this object, and ev
erything is to be done to increase thex
chances of beneficial results, from a com
mercial stand-point during this gathering.
Mr. William E. Curtis, whose appoint
ment as agent of the Department of State
was announced a day or two ago, has al
ready begun correspondence with the va
rious boards of trado and chambers of com
merce in tho principal cities north, south,
east and west, and he will prepare a pro
gramme which will result in giving the
South American delegates to the Con
gress a practical idea of the enor
mous resources of this country. The
State Department could scarcely
have selected a man more thoroughly qual
ified for this work than Mr. Curtis. He
was a member of President Arthur's South
American Commission, and in that capacity
visited all of the republics to the fcoutu of
us, and since that time, and as a result of
the data be gathered on that trio, Mr. Cnr
tis has written a work, published by the
Harpers, on "The Capitals of Spanish
America," which is a recognized reference
book among such men as Senators Sher
man, Hale and Cullom, as well as the
members of tho last House committee on
ways and means, upon all South American
matters. Mr. Curtis s intimate relations, too,
with the members of the Spanish-American
legations in this city places him upon
much better terms of intimacy with these
countnes than any other man who could
have been selected for the position be now
occupies. His knowledge will be used in
aiding the American members of the con
gress to place themselves in a more cordial
light with their confreres, and it is ex
pected that he will be enabled to arrange
for their reception in all the cities which
it is proposed that they will visit, in such a
manner that they will not only go to their
respectivehomeswithafarbetterknowieage
of American men and American afiairs than
they have heretofore possessed, but will be
iu a position to co-operate with business
houses in this country towards materially
extending the treaty between the United
States, and her southern neighbors.
