Washington, April 22. In executive
session to-day, the subject of the unor
ganized condition of the ' committees
waa discussed at considerable length,
being brought about by the reports on
nominations from committees which
Senator Gorman took occasion to criti
cise the inaction on ' the - Republican
side, and said it was set fair to tbe
Senate to prevent It from transacting
business. He reviewed the various
propositions which had been made and
said that ne thought they were fair
and reasonable. There waa ; no desire
on the part of the Democrats add oth
ers in opposition to the Republicans
to take the chairmanships, but It was
desired to place the Senate on a work
ing basis. If the committee which had
been selected by the ; Republicans to
agree upon a plan Ov organisation,
arrange the committees could not agree
upon a plan of organisation,
another committee should be appoint
ed.) The Republicans did not reply to
Senator Gounan directly. There was
a general talk upon the matter of com
mi t tees but no action was taken.

. Joaaa Said t ha Satisfied Amendments
to blTd hy Senator Uitln.
Washington, April 22,-The Republi
can tariff sub-oommittee of .the Senate
finance committee is working now with
Its- eyes fixed on next Tuesday -as the
day to report the tariff bill to the full
committee, out without leeung at an
eonnedent that this result can. be ac
complished. All will depend upon the
interruptions that may take place, ..the
persistence anu influence of those wiw
seek changes, and the demands ox other
Senators. The bill may not go to the)
full committee before the end - or the
week. ) The committee is also informing
those 'who seek to secure changes In
the bill that their suggestions are not
likely, to be considered &fter the present
week, and that consequently whatever
amendments are to be made will be
' finally passed upon before the close of
the work Saturday night. The cbmmit-
: tee has passed tentatively upon almost
all the Questions before it, and nnaiiy
I upon those of small importance, leaving
for the last the most important items
'over which there are - Oilterenoee of
opinion. Probably the most persistent
demands have come from the western
Republican Senators for greater pro
tection to Western interests. The en
tire wool schedule will not be advanced,
but the probabilities are strong that
wools of third class will-be. Those of
the first class and second class will
probably be reduced. The Western Sen
ators who' have agreed to the Mantle
schedule sent this schedule to the com
mittee to-day and will probably call to
morrow or Saturday to urge its adop
tion; It is also probable that the clas
sification will be made : more definite
than that of the original Dingley bill.
The wool question is receiving the com
mittee's best attention, and it is recog
nized that the fate of the bill may de
pend somewhat upon its satisfectory
adjustment. There has also been a
spirited contention over the subject
of duty on hides, the proposition of
which has been strongly antagonized
by the tanning interests. A decision
has been practically reached to make
hides dutiable at the rate of lVt cents
a pound. The advocates of increased
duty on lead ore are also said to have
won, and according to the best obtain
able reports, the McKinley rate of $30
per ton will be restored. There will al
so be a rebate on the tin "Used in can
ning fruit and fish to be imported. One
of the problems of the committee has
been to satisfy Senator Jones, of Neva
da, silver Republican, who holds
the balance of power in the finance
committee. He has been made ac
quainted with the work of the commit
tee as far as It has progressed, and it
is understood that he is quite satisfied
with the bill.
Senator Butler, of North Carolina, to
day introduced a number of amend
ments, which he proposes to offer at
the proper time, to the tariff bill. The
proposed amendments put cotton ties,
salt and jute fabrics on the free list.
Increase the duty on rice in the hull
to 1 cent per pound, decrease the duty
on coal tar dyes from 35 per cent, to 25
' per cent, ad valorem, and make clearer
specifications than those of the Dingley
bill on mica.
A BRILLIANT CHURCH WEDDING.
The Marriage, In Concord, of 9fr. Torke
and Mine Roger The Chureh and Home
Deeoratloas Unique Souvenirs to the
Attendants and Ouests,
Special to tbe Observer.
Concord, April 22. An unusually
pretty marriage was solemnized in All
Saints' Episcopal church In this city
last evening, at 8:30 o'clock, the con
tracting parties being- Mr. John F.
Yorke, the popular jeweler, and Miss
Frances E. Rogers, the accomplished
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Rogers.
Promptly at .the appointed hour the
bridal party arrived at the church, and
as Prof. R. L. Keesler sounded the first
notes of the favorite Mendelssohn wed
ding march, little Misses Ellen Gibson
and Ola Brown, the pretty little flower
girls, dressed in pink and carrying bas
kets of flowers, marched up the aisle
and loosened the ribbons. Following
immediately behind these were the ush
ers, Messrs. Richmond Montgomery. ,of
this city, and James W. Wadsworth, of
Charlotte, who took their stand at the
right and left of the chancel. Then
came the six bridesmaids, Miss' Mar
garet McNeely, of Salisbury, and Miss
Mattie Pharr, of this city; Miss Jennie
Mitchell Rankin and Miss Bessie Hen
derson, of Salisbury; Miss Eva Lee, of
Clinton, and Miss Elizabeth Gibson, of
this city, all of whom wore evening
dresses, made of purely white organdie,
large white picture bats, and each car
rying White roses In her hands. They
were closely followed by the dame of
honor Mrs. Grace Robbins, who wore a
gown of pink, carrying a' large bunch
of la France roses, who stood at the
left of the chancel. From the vestry, at
this Juncture, emerged the groom, es
corted by his brother, Mr. A. J. Yorke.
and they stationed themselves facing
the lovely dame near the altar, while
the bride, clinging to the arm of her
father, walked to the altar from the
middle aisle. The bride was attired in
a handsome gown, made of ivory satin,
the waist of which' was elaborately
trimmed with chiffon. She carried in
her hand a bouquet of Marchal Neil
roses, while her head was gracefully
posed beneath a thin white veil, stud
ded with diamonds and orange blos
soms. Rev. Dr. J. C. Davis officiated and
married the couple from a beautiful
Ivory covered prayer book, which was
a present from himself.
After the ceremony at the church,
the party repaired to the hospitable
home of the bride's' fat her, where Mr.
and Mrs. Yorke received the hearty
congratulations of their many friends
and where a superb supper .was served.
It was indeed a brilliant event, and an
evening of unusual merriment. The
groom presented to each of the lady at
tendants a lovely little souvenir gold
ring, set with emeralds and pearls, and
to the male attendants he gave knotted
stick pins. Each guest was given a
small white wedding cake box, bearing
the embossed initials "Y-R," which
were unique in design and filled with
cake. The decorations at the church
ind at the home were of pure white
lillies, orange blossoms, roses, Jonquils,
dogwood and dainty white ribbon, em
blematic of purity, making the scene
one of great loveliness. The bride was
the recipient of a vast number of ele
gant presents.
The bride and groom left this morn
ing after giving a wedding breakfast
o their friends, at the bride's home, ror
ten day's tour through the North.

was soon surrounded by a "cheering
multitude. The .members of the diplo

number of other distinguished people
present, congratulated the King on his
escape. King Humbert treated the
matter lightly aibd remarked: "It Is
only one of the little Incidents of my
trade." The Kikig remained at the
race course with his nephew, the Duke
Aosta. until the royal derby was run.

years old and a; native of Artegna, a
village in 'the province of Uoine, three

returned to ' the Quirinal, f oi Jo wed by
hundreds of carriages, and thousands
of people gathered about the palace and
gave him an imposing and frantic ova

They Are Condemned by Some of the Resi

To the Editor of tU(e Observer:
We, the undessigned citizens of the
western portion f the city of Charlotte,
N. c take this means to condemn the
action of Dr. H. M. Wilder in criticising
the mayor of the city, of Charlotte, and
the board of alcSermen (of which he is
member) In nutting in the sewer
along Irwin's creek, in the winter time,
and not In the Summer time, and the
expense thereof As a physician, he
ought to know that turning the earth
tn the summer Itlme would make the
locality more sickly. As the health of
ficer of the city; and county, we espe
cially deplore his uncalled for action in
criticising the mhyor and board, whose
action was taken in behalf of human
ity. We feel that his remarks in his
speech of Wednesday night in our local
ity against the .sewer work, were un
called for, and -that all good citizens
should condemn) his course and con
duct.
