LONDON, April SO.— At ths night ses
sion of the London Diocesan Conference
yesterday the Bishop of London, night
Rev. Arthur F. Ingram, made a state
ment to the effect that he had thrice sent
for an explanation, from Rev. Mr. Had
den regarding the Vandcrbllt-Rutherturd
wedding and that none had been received.
The galleries and the floor of the little
churchhouse In the shadow of Westmin
ster Abbey were crowded In anticipation
of ,the Bishop's announcement. Arising
amid Intense ' silence, the prelate salt! he
had hoped to present to the conference an
explanation from the officiating cliryy
man'ln the matter of the. "grave scandal
which recently ba"U occurred in the dio
cese." He could only surmise that a fam
ily bereavement, the death of a child, was
responsible for ' Mr. Hadden' a ' havin? en
tirely ign/red the Bishop's letters ami
messages. The Bishop characterized the
use of St. Mark's Church for the per
formance of the ceremony as constituting
a "grave moral scandal." and expre3acd
his determination not to enter the church
until due reparation had been made.
The Bishops remarks were vigorously
applauded, and the session ended with
the passage of a vote of thanks, moved
by the suffragan Bishop of London.

LONDON, Arril SO.— Lord Cranborne,
the Under Foreign Secretary, replying to
a number cf questions of the House of
Commons to-day, said that negotiations
on the subject of Manchuria were «till pro
ceeding between the power* concerned.
His Majesty's Government, however, had
received from a trustworthy source con
firmation of the statement that Russia
had announced that she had no knowl
edge of the reported convention, and that
•he disclaimed any intention of seeking
exclusive privileges or departing from her
previous assurances regarding Manchuria.
Answering a suggestion that the Gov
ernment should propose that Russia refer
the Manchurian, Persian and similar dif
ferences to The Hague Arbitration Tribu
nal. Premier Balfour said that, while de
sirous of using to the utmost the advan
tages offered by The Hague Tribunal, the
Government did not think that the ques
tions pending between Great Britain and
Russia could be submitted thereto.
Prince Ching, the Grand Secretary, pur
poses urgently to request Russia to pro
ceed with the restoration of the Govern
ment cf Manchuria to China, according to
agreement.
PEKING, April 30.— The denial from St.
Petersburg of the authenticity of the Rus
sian demands on China previous to the

day the denial was Issued M. Plancon, the

his colleagues that their information on
the subject was correct.

The outrage at Salonica, following two
attempts to destroy the raltway in the
neighborhood of that city with dynamite,
has again caused anxiety, regarding th«
Balkan crisis. All accounts of the out
rages concur in stating that the aggres
sors were employed by the Macedonian
committee and it is believed that the at
tack on the bank was intended to provoka
severe reprisals by Turk3 and thereby
cause European intervention. It is re
marked that the present occurrence bears
an ominous resemblance to the Armenian
attack upon the— Ottoman Bank in Con
stantinople on August 26, 1536. which was
immediately followed by the Moslem pop
