THE BULKY BLENHEIM DEED It ls an EnormOns Volume and Dates From, - the Time of Queen Anne —- Final Touches For the Wedding—The Duke and That “Rehearsal.” ‘ .NEW YORK, Nov..6.-—All arrangements for the grand wedding ceremony at St. Thomas’ church which will make Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt the Duchess of Marl- borough were completed today. Scores of workmen Were busy this morn- ing both at the church and at Mrs. Van- derbilt’s house, at Madison avenue and Seventy-second street, putting on the fin- ishing touches in the way of decoration. At the church the erecting of the frame- work and arches upon which the flowers and vines are to be interwoven was com- pleted last evening, and the wide chancel was filled with a mass of wooden scaffold- ing and wire netting which made the in- terior of the handsome church look as if it were in the process of a general overhaul- ing. It will be a magnificent floral bower, in which masses of the rarest blossoms will be offset by a background of green palms, ferns and mosses. The decoration of Mrs. Vanderbilt’s house is .also progressing rapidly. Big truckloads of palms and flowering shrubs were delivered there, and Mr. Cottonet and his assistants were hard at work ar- ranging them in the various rooms and about the hallway and the grand winding staircase leading to the drawing rooms above. The absence of the Duke of Marlbor- cugh from the wedding rehearsal at St. Thomas’ has occasioned considerable com- ment, but it is said that his refusal to at- tend the mock ceremony in no wise dis- concerted Mrs. Vanderbilt or the prospec- tive duchess. In fact, he had given very positive no- tice that he did not intend to be present, and had been excused from the rehearsal by Mrs. Vanderbilt herself. His attend- ance was not necessary for the reason that the rehearsal was more for the benefit of the bridesmaids and ushers and those who would take part in the bridal procession to the altar. “Once Is Enough For life.” In his own words the duke explained that he did not care to attend because, al- though ”that sort of thing might be good enough for women, but once is enough for me.” Accordingly, while his bride and her friends Were busily practicing the grand march and the other details of the cere- mony, he and his cousin, Ivor Guest, were at the Plaza hotel takinga rest after their trip from Washington and preparing for the dinner given by Mrs. Brockholst Cut~ ting at her house, 99 Madison aVcnue, in honor of the bridal couple and their friends. Besides the guests of honor there were present Miss Morton, Ivor C. Guest, Miss Marie Winthrop, R. T. Wilson, Jr., Miss Laura Jay, Herbert D. Robbins, Miss Elsa Bronson, Reginald Robbins, Miss Daisy Post, Brockholst Cutting, Iiss May Goa let, Hamilton Cary, Miss Kittie Ducr, Miss Evelyn Burden, Ronan Baldwin, _Miss Pauline Whitney and her fiance, Almerio Hugh Paget; Miss Reta Ker- nochan, William Cutting, Jr., Miss Tif- fany, Charles Sands and Worthington Whitehouse. This morning there was a notable gath- ering at Mrs. Vanderbilt’s house. ’ William K. Vanderbilt was there—for the first time in his wife's house—to meet the Duke of Marlborough and his counv selor, Mr. Milward, and Mr. Vanderbilt’s lawyer, ex-Judge Henry H. Howland. The object Of the meeting was to execute the marriage settlement. The deed of the Blenheim estate, which was brought over by Mr. Milward, was produced. A Formidable Document. It is a formidable document, consisting of a volume four feet square, in which schedules'of the different properties in- cluded in the estate are engrossed upon heavy parchment. ‘ There is the deed itself, showing how the property was originally conveyed to the first Duke of Marlborough by Queen Anne, and in addition to this maps of the lands and schedules of the paintings and works of art, of the plate and of the heir- looms belonging to the ducal estate. The Blenheim plate, it is said, exceeds two tons in weight. The catalogue of the paintings and china contains 100 pages. The late duke scld Over half these art treasures and real- ized about $2, 000,000 for the china alone. One of the new English features which Will be introduced at the wedding will be the distribution of flowers by the brides- ,f‘aids after the ceremony at the church. The duke and duchess will retire to the vestry room immediately after the bishop has ooncll‘lded the service, while the brides- maids will each be provided with a basket of flowers) am: when the procession moves down the middle aisle they will scatter the ”(e as they pass down. r s . nOWEIeSnOThedihli’avd enlafied their b35159“: they will return to the ch‘flmeln where they will meet the bridal couple, @119 Will the“ take their places at the heat.

The bells will be rung in all the churches where he has property, and the employees will be given a holiday and a dinner.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.——A cablegram has been received in this city from Dr. Donaldson Smith, dated Aden, bearing the one word “Successful.” This news established the safety of the pfhcky Phila- delphian, who for a year and a half has been exploring the wilds of eastern Af- rica, and at the same time puts an end to ‘ the doubt as to his safety which had been felt by those interested in the expedition for the past few months. Dr. Smith entered Africa on the eastern coast a year ago last June, to push across the country of the Gallreas and Masai to two lakes which have been recently dis- covered by another expedition, thence on to the two Nyanzas, his object being to carry out and complete the line of explo- ration from the lakes to the east coast, a distance of several hundred miles. Dr. Smith was accompanied by about 150 Af- ricans, and at first by an Englishman, who was-asubsequently Obliged to return to London. Dr. Smith sent back some fine specimens of the region’s flora after he had been on his expedition a few months for the Geographical society of London, and some months later was re- ported to be pushing on by another party which he met. Aside from these evi- dences of his safety there has been none until the arrival of his cablegram. As the region which Dr. Smith has traversed is at the present time represent- ed by a blank space on the map of Africa the significance of the cxplorer’s brief message will be realized immediately. He has undoubtedly made a great many dis- coveries of much value. < ’ GREAT NORTHERN STRIKE. Few Hands Have Gone Out. KALISPELL, Mon, Nov. 6.-—An attempt was made to wreck a Great Northern west bound passenger train ..near_.Coh1mbia Falls. A torch was applied to a bridge just west of the big cut this side of Co- lumbia Falls, and the fire was just gain- ing headway as the train dashed on to the bridge.

New “’hatcom, \‘l’asii., Institutions Closed. County Deposit at Stake. NEW’ WHATCOM, Wash, N 0v. 6.—The Bellingham Bay National bank has closed its doors by order of" the directors, being unable to meet the county treasurer’s de- mand for the county’s deposit. No state— ment of assets and liabilities has yet been given out. The cashier reports the liabil- ities approximately at $105,000, of which $77,000 is due depositors. The assets are $187, 000. President Morgan says the sus- pension is due to a steady withdrawal of deposits and a general feeling of distrust since the recent Tacoma bank troubles. The suspension of the Bellingham Bay National bank precipitated a run on the Bennett National bank, which continued until the close of banking hours. The di- rectors held a meeting and adopted a res- olution not to open. Ten . Sweet Caporal Little Cigars sou) BY ALL DEALERS. Attempt to ‘Vreck a Train Frustrated." FROM ACIlQlSjllE SEA.

The planters then suggest that parlia- ment impose a countervailing duty on all foreign sugar imported into the United Kingdom, so that an equal bounty may have been obtained on its export from British Guiana. Continuing, the planters of British Guiana suggest that preparations be made for accepting any favorable reciprocity ar- rangement ofi'ered with the United States and the British colonies, and that in all other ways British Guiana should be treat. ed as part of the British empire. “Clever Jim’s" Talk.
