The concerns of Sutter Brothers and

the former injured the credit of the latter
to such an extent that It was deemed ad
visable to turn the property over to the
care of the United States District Court,
so that all creditors might be treated
alike. The liabilities of the firm are es

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.— The marriage of
Hiss May Goelet, only daughter of Mrs.
Ogflen Goelet and one of the richest of
American heiresses, to Henry John Innes-
Ker. eighth Duke of Roxburghe, was sol
erarlzed to-day in St. Thomas Church in
this city. Bisbcp William Croswell Doane
of Albany, insisted by the Rev. Ernest
M. Stires of St. Thomas Church, per
formed the ceremony. A company of I'M
quests — a small number for an interna
tional marriage cf such importance—wit
nessed the ceremony, but masses of
palms, 6hrubs and flowers banked the
church bo effectively that the great nave
seemed far from empty. In the chancel
ltsctf, where the ceremony took place,
palm5, Japanese chrysanthemums and
English primroses were combined in an
artistic color scheme, with which the or
chids on tha pulpit ar.d the lilies about
the altar toned beautifully.
Forming In the outer vestibule of the
church, the bridal party proceeded down
the aisle to the chancel steps, the bride
en the arm. of her brother. Robert Goelet.
She was gowned In white satin, veiled
with pcint Valenciennes lace and trimmed
with wreaths of orange blossoms. Her
\f'A was of tulle and she carried an old
fashioned bouquet cf lilies of th» valley.
ATTENDANTS OF BBIDE.
The n-aid of honor. Miss Beatrice Mills,
end tho other bridesmaids. Lady Isabel
Innes-Ker, Miss Martha Johnston, Miss
illice Babcock. Miss Marian Haven, Miss
Therese Ise-lin, Hiss Nina Thayer of Bos
lin and Miss Pauline Whittier, wore
gowr.s of pink mousseline de soje of the
quaint and effective Louis XVI period,
embroidered with ecru lace, tcques of pink
velvet trimmed with lace and sable, and
carried, in place cf bouquets, muffs of
pink velvet and s«.ble. The ushers, Hugo
Barlr.g, Howard Brassey, Robert Whar
tcn Goelet, Rogers Wir.throp, Henry Bull
end William Woodward, did not precede
the bridal party, as customary, but were
seated before the bride entered.
At the chancel steps the bride was met
by the Duke and his best man, the Hon.
Reginald Ward, son of the late Earl of
Dudley, and the betrothal service of the
Protestant Episcopal church was read by
Hr. Stlres. The party then advanced to
the altar rail, where the Episcopal mar
riage ceremony was eaid by Bishop
Doane.
Afterwacd the Duke and Duchess went
to the heme of Mrs. Ogden Goeiet on
Fifth avenue, where an informal recep
tion, to which or.ly a part cf the wedding
guests were bidden, v.as held.
The Duke and Duchess left the Goelet
residence In a carriage, to which at the
last moment a long white streamer was
attached by the ushers, and drove to the
Grand Central station, where they en
tered a private car attached to the 5
o'clock express for Newport.
HOB BLOCKS THE STREET.
Fifth avenue In the vicinity of the
church was the scene of extreme disorder,
unparalleled at any of the previous wed
dings in New York. From the church to
the Goelet residence, a distance of five
blocks, the avenue contained a surging
mob cumbering fully 10,000 persons, most
ly women, whom a force of 2000 policemen
were powerless to hold back.
Before the service began several promi
r.ent women gained entrance to the
church and seated themselves In the gal
leries, from which they were forcibly dis
lodged by a squad cf police a few min
utes before the arrival of the trifle.
When the carriage containing the
bride-to-be and her brother, Robert Goe
let, reared the church it was surrounded
Ly women, who 6topped the horses and. in
their efforts to 6ee the bride, clung to the
carriage^ some of them getting on the
steps and thrusting their heads into the
cpen windows. Goelet called to the police,
but It was some moments before the half
<!czcn policemen who rushed to the rescue
were able to drive the curious women
back and enable the carriage to proceed.
CEAWL UNDER CANOPY.
When the carriage of Mr. and Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanfierbilt, which was just ahead
cf the bride, reached the canopy leading
from the curb to the church the crowd
of women .banked up twenty-five feet
<leej> on cither side," rushed frantically
forward, carrying the solid lines of po
licemen with them, and for a moment
blocked the entrance. They were forced
back, only to rush forward again when
the bride's carriage drew up. By this
time policemen from other points had
been collected there, but in spite of them
a croup of a half dozen women stooped
down and lifted the canvas of the canopy
end crawled part way under. They crawl
ed to their positions, notwithstanding all
the efforts of the police to pull them
away, and several of them managed to
keep their heads under the canvas until
The works of the Amalgamated Copper
Company will at once resume operations
in various parts of the State. This in
cludes the great mines in Butte, the
emelters of the Washoe Companj%in Ana
conda, the largest In the world; the smelt
ers of the Boston and Montana Company
in Great Falls, also vast in their capac
ity; the coal mines at Stoors, Belt, Oak
da]© and In Wyoming; the great, quarries
in Northern Montana and the" Immense
lumbering industries in Western and
Northwestern Montana.
Probably more than 15,000 men will be
employed directly in the propertiesof the
Amalgamated, and as many more will be
given employment in the way of furnish
ing supplies and the like.
Upon this announcement by Judge Clan
cy. President William Scallon of the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company and gen
eral manager of the Amalgamated issued
orders to shut down all of the Amalga
mated properties In Montana and else
where.
1 at Helena. The purpose
of the session Is to pass laws that will
relieve the Industrial condition in Mon
tana, where by the shutting down of the
Amalgamated Company's properties 15,000
men are directly thrown out of work, 15,
0C0 more affected and the whole State is
suffering from the suspension of work.
Recently in Butte Judge William Clancy
of the District Court gave a decision in
which he said that he might appoint a
receiver at any time for the Boston and
Montana Company, one of the largest con
stituent companies of the Amalgamated.
The decision was made on the application
of John MacGlnnlss, a prominent holder
of stock in the companies controlled by
F. August Heinze and the Montana Pur
chasing Company, which has been at war
with the Amalgamated for years.

Special Dispatch to The Call. x
•nr ASHINGTOX, Nov. 10.—
h| JhJ m The orders- Issued by
U /I / the Navy Department to
m^ l^r prevent Colombian
j j troops embarking • for
isthmian ports were
changed to-day as the result of a con
clusion reached at the regular meeting
of the President and his Cabinet that
such prevention would be an act of war
against Colombia. In consequence the
naval commanders in isthmian waters
were notified to use only moral suasion
to induce the Colombian troops not to
start for the isthmus,. Should an . at
tempt to land them at either. Panama or
Colon be made, however, the naval com
manders will have full authority to go
to extremes.
News came to the State Department
yesterday that two British merchant
steamers, one the Quito and the other
the Mindanao, or a name similar to that,
were to be used by the Colombian Gov
ernment to carry troops to the isthmus
from Buena Ventura, the nearest Pacific
port to Bogota. Orders were according
ly sent to Commander Dlehl of the
cruiser Boston to go to Buena Ventura
and warn the British ships and the com
mander of the troops to be embarked
that the vessels could .not leave port
with the troops aboard. These orders
were sent last night or this morning. As
changed to-day they provide that the
commander of the Colombian troops
about to embark at Buena Ventura and
the masters of the merchantmen shall be
warned that they will not be permitted
to land soldiers at any isthmian port
Those responsible for the changed or
ders heid that while the United States
Government was legally i empowered to
suppress any attempt that would lead to
disorder or bloodshed on the isthmus, it
had no authority toj enter Colombian
ports outside the Isthmus for the purpose
of preventing the embarkation of troops.
The American war vessel sent to give
the warning will stay with the merchant
men if ttfey persist in going to the
isthmus, so as to be close at hand if any
attempt to land soldiers is made.
The Navy Department is advised that
Rear Admiral Glass, commanding the Pa
cific station, arrived at Panama thl3
morning with the cruiser Marblehead and
the gunboat Concord, having made a
quick run from Acapulco. Their consort,
the monitor Wyoming, was" not able to
keep up with the vessels and will, prob
ably not" reach Panama before Thursday.
By.virtue of his rank Admiral Glass will
have ' supreme : command over ¦ the naval
forces in the vicinity of Panama.

As the light went out the woman tore
away the shutter, and. dropping to the
ground, ran until exhausted. She spent
that night and the next in the woods,

Mrs. Whitney told her story to friends
and they helped her. To-day Lien, who
two years ago was the Democratic can
didate for Governor of South Dakota and
who Is one of the wealthiest men In that
State, and several other prominent South
Dakota men gathered here heard her
story and decided that the evidence sus
tained her claims that she' had been
grossly imposed upon. She said her
mother and sister had her Incarcerated
as insana because she believed in clair
voyance.
In the moment of darkness the prisoner
made her escape. The grounds were pa
trolled by guards, but with great care she
managed to loosen the shutter screws,
leaving the frame in Its place.
DROPS FROM THE WINDOW.
She concluded that she must take
French leave of the institution, that was
practically a prison. The buildings wero
guarded and the windows barred by heavy
gratings. Mrs. Whitney calculated that
she must conduct herself as a model pris
oner. In a short time she knew the
routine of the institution perfectly and
was ready to escape.
The. heavy Bhutters of her first floor
window were fastened by screws. Wait
ing till Bi night when there would be no
moon, she took from the dining-room a
spoon. Secreting it till she reached her
room, she succeeded In removing the
screws that fastened the heavy shutters.
She knew that at a certain moment tho
electrical current which maintained the
incandescent lights was turned off for a
brief space. The current had to bo
switched from a dynamo to a storage bat
tery.
Her mind might have given way but
for her concern about her boy, who, hav
ing lost his father, was the pride of tha
devoted mother. "When she was sent to
the asylum the little fellow was sent to
an orphanage, which she has been unable
to locate. But this determined her to es
cape.
SIOUX CITT. la., Nov. 10.— Escaping
from the South Dakota Insane Apylum at
Yankton. where she had been confined, as
she believes, because of a conspiracy;
¦wandering two nights through the Mis
souri River bottom lands, almost starved,
not daring to be seen; pawning her wed
ding ring for money to stop at a hotel and
buy a ticket to Sioux City; now holding a
good position In this city and enlisting her
Influential South Dakota friends to find
her little boy, who has been taken from
her— such Is the story of Mrs. Mabel

Dakota School for the Blind at Gary.
Mrs. Whitney, a bright young woman of
30. to-day told her story to B. H. Lien of
Sioux Falls, a member of the Board of

Gary. He and other prominent South Da
kotans pledged themselves to help the
plucky woman.
Mrs. "Whitney, leaving the school at
Gary, went to Sioux Falls and engaged in
teaching music. She and her mother had
disagreements, which may. have been re
sponsible for Mrs. "Whitney's troubles, -..t
