THE MKEES EKE AIJSENT They Would Not Uive Their Consent to the Ccneral's Marriage Tho Wedding Marked for Its Simplicity. 'I ha Wedding Uu n. New York, April 6. Perhaps as simple a wedding- as has ever been witnessed In tho saore-d walls of SK Thomas church was solemnized half an hour before 6 o'clock this evening, when General Harrison, twenty-third presi dent of the I'nlted States, entered Into the holy bonds of wedlock with Sir. Mary Siott Lord Dimmick. Not one of the thirty-six favored witnesses of the ceremony could fail to hnve been Ini Pivsscd with Its singular unprcteulious ness. llenjnmin Harrison 'is a pluin man. Mis. Dimmick is a plain woman. It was titling t here t'c uv that in celebrat ing an epoc h in their live so Import ant hs matrimony, it shoiihl be char acterized with tlint every day simplic ity of their lives. The assembled crowds outside the church showed the Interest the public hud In the alValr. Secrecy as to the exact hour of the ceremony had been carefully maintained. which. In a measure, nerved to check the (growth of the curious. Then, too, the weather was not invitins enouuh even to the curious, to attract as great a mass us Was feared. The crowds about tip) church were not of the clty'H fashion ables, but the work-n-day people were there In force. The KUests began to ar rive at the church shortly before 5 o'clock. As they entered they were re ceived by two ushern, the youthful looking private secretary of the ex presldcnt, h. F. Tlbbett, and the- sol dierly htariiiK Dan M. Hausdcll, a hero of the civil war. Mrs. John K. Parker, the blide'H sister, occupied a front pew on the left and .Mr. and Vr. 1'lnehot. the one on the riht. Kchlud Mrs. I'arker sat Governor Mnrton mid t'ol oni l .Marvin, his military private sec ivtury. In the succeedliiB pews were SepHtor and Mrs. 8ttph.cn H. lOlkins. ex-Secretary of Btate John W. Foster and Mrs. Foster, ex-Attorney rScncral V. II. H. Miller and Mis. Miller and UonrK't W. Hoyd, of the IVntu'ylvnnia rnllroad. In pews back of Mr. and Mrs. Plnchot sat relatives and friends of the bride. They were Major and Mrs. Richard I'arker. Chancellor and Mrs. McCill, the Misses Dlmmlck and Mrs. Ilrljws; Mr. and Mrs. Leeds, Norman Leeds, nnil the ATlswes T.ecilr Tiv nod Tlliw iiioiiphton und Miss ambei t; 'ieneral ! nmi .ii im. v uz jaiin j'orier unu me Mltises Porter. In all thirty-six peo ple were presort, including the I'nlted Press reprcEcntatlve. Adniisslon was by card and every precaution was taken to prevent Intrusion. All the MvIiik meinlteiwfif Ueneral Harrison's cabinet wore present, exeeptins ex-Postmasler flenernl' John AVar.amiikcr: ex-Secretary of the Treasury I'harW Foster. ex-Secretary of War Uedlleld proctor and ex-Secretary of the Interior John W. Noble, all of whom were unavoid ably prevented from witnessing; the ceremony. SIT.DCED COSTFMKS. With two or three exceptions the cos tumes of the women were subdued in ! color, an only occasional tjuy Kanter j bonnet lent life to the scene. ! Professor William Warren, the j church organist, rendered a few pre- Ilmlnnry selections from the great masters. Still the scene seemed cold and almost gloomy. One could hardly realize that a wedding of national Im portance was about to be solemnized. It was Just J o'clock when lienernl Harrison and General Uen.iamin F. Tracy, ills best man, entered a car riage at the Fifth avenue hotel and started for the church, where they ar rived nt 6.20 o'clock. They entered through the lectors' residence on Fifty third street, ami Went directly to the vestry, where they nwnhed the arrival Of the bride. (Ieneral Harrison wore a long frock coat, dark trousers and white gloves. In the lapel of his coat was a buttonnlere of lilies of the val ley. General Tracy wore a frock coat and striped trousers, und a small bou ijULt of white violets. At 5 o'clock Mrs. Dimnilok and her brother-in-law, Lieutenant John F. Parker. I'. S. N.. were driven from their residence. No. 40 East Thirty eighth street, and reached the church iU.fc.lS o'clock. They entered by the main door on Fifth avenue and went dined to the tower room to the left of the vestibule, where wraps and coats were dlH"Prdod. It was n.3i o'clock when the two large doors leading to the center aisle were thrown open and the ushers. -Hide hy side, stood In the pas sage way. At the same moment Ir. J. Wesley Urown, the officiating clergy man, robed In n white cassock, ap peared from the vestry, followed by the sexton. The reverend doctor passed In behind the sanctuary rail, the at tendant closing the gales after him. Dr. Hrown knelt In prayer a few mo ments and then the ever - popular strains of 'Lohengrin" burst forth and re-echoed back from the empty stalls with double volume. Then the door leading to the vestry on the left of the altar opened and the silvery locks of Generals Harrison and Tracy were seen. There wns an awkward pause for a minute and the assemblage looked Inquiringly first at the altar, then at the rear entrance. THE BRIDK APPKARS. Finally, at 5.33 o'clock, the bride ap peared and fell in behind the ushers. At the same moment the minister nodded his head, signalling the groom to step forward. General Harrison and his best man at once came forward and stood upon the top chancel step. The left hand of General Harrison was bared and he carried In his right the left hand glove. Immediately the bridal procession was begun. The two ushers walked well forward and tok a position on the sec ond chancel step. The bride, leaning on the arm of her brother-ln-lnw, Lieu tenant Parker, followed. Mrs. Dimmick carried no bouquet, but Instead carried a handsome white silken prayer book, with an embossed golden cross on the cover. As the bridal party approached the chancel, General Harrison came down the steps to the Moor to receive his bride. With a frank movement, she extended her right hand which the 'gToom clasped In his left. Then the right hand which the groom clasped In his left. Then the couple marched up the stens to the center of tho nltar, where they knelt a moment In prayer. General Tracy and Lieutenant Parker followed, the former standing to tho riRht of the groom, and tho lieutenant to the left of the bride. It was a pretty picture, beautiful In its simplicity. The reading of the ProteKtnnt Kplscopnl ceremony was at once hcirun. Hoth faced the minister and listened Intently to his words. When the usual question was propounded to the room, "Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wed ded wife." etc., th general responded in subdued, nlumst inaudible tones. When the game question was put to the bride, she answetvd In a clear nius icul voice. As the minister uttered the words: "Those whom God hath joined togeth er, let no man put asunder," bride and groom turned about and faced, each other. t ieneral Harrison stood erect, with his left hand behind his back, his unused glove dangling between his lingers. The linal words that mnde General Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick one were pronounced at 17 minutes to fi o'clock. Dr. Itrown .shook hands with both and offered bis warm congratulations. The ex-presldent then extended 1.1s right arm to his newly made bride, and. to the soft strains of the "Tannhauser Wedding March," they pled down the center aisle. During the ceremony the Intermezzo from Mascagni's 'Tavallerla ltustl cann" was rendered on the oriran. The moment the bridal pot ty entered the assemblage arose and rernuined s-f.nillng throughout the ceremony. The deepest interest was manifested In the proceedings and every movement of the contracting cotil le wns noted. As the bride nnd groom walked down the aisle after the ceremony Mrs. Hur rhion bowed pleasantly to her different acquaintances. The stern expression depicted upon her usually placid face had faded away, and was surplantod by a bright, cheering smile. lienernl Harrison's face bore ti calm, sntlstled expression. '.Phe bridal party was driven to the residence of Mrs. Plr.chot. No. 2 Gramercy Park, where li;rht refreshments were served. Here the bride and groom donned their traveling attire. Soon after 7 o'clock the party re-entered their carriages nnd were tuken to the Pennsylvania railroad station in Jersey City. They boarded the private car of Vice Presi dent Frank Thompson, which wns coupled to the regular 7..10 p. m. train west and the bride and groom left at once for Indianapolis. M'KISF.S WERE AP.SENT. The. fact that General Harrison's daughter. Mim. McKee, nnd his son, lUissell P.. Harrison, were not at the wedding occasioned considerable com ment. It has been rumored that Mr. Harrison's family wns strongly op posed to their father's marriage to Mrs. Dimmick. While Ihey still retain all due ntYectlon for their parent, it Is said they declined to give their tlllal sanc tion. The honeymoon will be spent in Gen eral Harrison's home In Indianapolis, which lias been rclltted and renovated for the occasion. Later the couple will go to the Adirondack mountains, where a cottage has been prepared for them at First Lake, n the Fulton chain. The groom's gift to his best man was a walking stick, which was valued by General Harrison because of Its asso ciations. Its history dates back to the civil war, and General Tracy highly values Its possession. The Moral decorations In the church Were simple and art is tic. There wan no attempt nt pompous display, but a striking effect had been achieved by the free use of the nrevnilinir Eastet lilies und greenery. The body of the edifice was In no way embellished, all the decorations being conllned In and about the nltar. The bride's gown was a heavy, pearl colored faille frnncals of exquisite lustre, trimmed with rare honiton lace, which practically covered the should ers of the gown, falling over the idi-eves and continuing in wide reveres which turn again near the waist line to form a Louis Quaterza jacket effect. Soft, full bows of pale turquoise blue velvet caught the laco together over a full vest of chiffon, und the neck was linishod with a soft crush collar of the same velvet. A lengthwise jnbote of honiton laco trimmed either side of the front breadth of the skirt, which was cut deml-trnln. to hfi'ig in graceful waves of fullness. With this was worn a small capote of pale blue .velvet, trim med with n. white aljrrette and pnmnon. nnd a twist of lace cinflned with a superb diamond ornament. 'Another diamond ornament of equal size und value fastened the lace on one side of the corsage mar the shoulder. The groom's gift to the bride, a niagnllicent chain of neii.-ls, wns looped on the corsage. Mrs. Dimmiek's bonnet was smnll, of blue velvet, trimmed with white nlgerctte and small spangles, held in place by jewelled pins. AN OVATION. Philadelphia. April fi.

CLEVELAND ARRAIGNED Uo Is Characterized as the Greatest Mug wump in the Country-K Ivor and Harbor till Appro ved-i he Seeds Prepared. Washington, April 6. The proposi tion In the postotlice appropriation bill affecting tho consolidation of Binall postollices near the large towns and cities, led to a long debate In the senate today. In which there was an exhibit ing of much political nnd personal feel ing. While the present administration of the postolllce department received commendations from a Republican sen ntor (Mr. Wolcr.tt, of Colorado) It re ceived severe criticism from a Demo cratic seutor (Mr. Gorman, of Mary land) and President Cleveland r.imti In for a large measure of abuse from a Populist senator (Mr. Allen, of Nebras ka). According to Mr. Wolcott the af fairs of the postoffiee department arc being- "ably and intelligently conduct ed." Mr. Gorman Ironically congratulated the postolllce department that it had a Republican senator for defender, and he suggested with biting sarcasm, thnt ninny acts of the administration could best he defended by some Republicans. He condemned Postinnstcr General Wilson for going about the country de livering lectures on the tariff and on gold and silver, tnstend of attending to the duties of his otllce, and quoted the homely proverbs that, when a man is found proclaiming his own virtue nnd honesty, there is a rascal near at hand. Mr. Allen was even less reserved In the expression of his views. The great est mugw.ump In the country, he said, was installed in the white house, al though he thought It was difficult to tell whether Mr. Cleveland wns more of a mugwump than he was of an Imperial Democrat. He added that Mr. Cleve land was a disgrace to the great of fice he occupied, and thHt he ought not to be, und doubtless would not be. returned to that jiosltion again. Tho session closed without a vote having been reached, but It was agreed that a vote should bf tijken nt 5 o'clock tomorrow- on the bill and all pending amendments. A messnge announcing the action of the house on the Cuban resolution was received; but no further action on the part of the senate was necessary. ' Cl'HAN RESOLUTION PASSED. According to the arrangement made Saturday, the house today voted upon the report of the conference committee, recommending tho adoption of the sen ate resolutions regarding Cuba, instead of those recently paused by the house. They were agreed to, 245 to 27. The af firmative vote would have been ten or twelve greater, but several gentlemen who had general pairs -with absent niurnbers did not feel nt liberty to vote, although it was stated that the absen tees were themselves In fnvor of the resolutions. Several gentlemen lost their votes by being out of the house when the roll was called. The negative votes were cast by Messrs. Arnold (R. 1.). Atwood (Mass.), 1 Slack (N. Y.). Houtelle (Me.), Daniels (N. Y.), Draper (Mass.). Glllot (N. Y.), Cillet (Mass.), Grout (Vt.). Lefevre (N. Y.). McCall (Mass.). Moodv (Mass.), Poole (N. Y.), Slmpkins (Mass.), Wads worth (N. Y.), Walker (Mass.), 'Walker (Va.) and Wright (Mass.). Republi cans, and Messrs. Berry (Ky.), Black (Gh.), Culberson (Tex.). Ellett (Va.), Elliott (S. C), Lockhart (N. C), Tuck er (Ta.), Turner (Qa.) and Tyler (Va.), Democrats 27. The text of the resolution follows: Resolved, That in the opinion of con gress a condition of public war exists be tween the government of Spain and the government proclaimed nnd for some time maintained by force of arms by the people of Cuba, and that the United States of America should maintain a strict neu trality between the powers, according to each all the rights of belligerents In the ports and territory of thiVliilted Stales. Rrsolved, Further, that the friendly of fices of the United States should be offered by the president to the Spunlsh govern ment for the recognition of the Independ ence of Cuba. These nre the senate resolutions, con curred In by the house. Despatches from Madrid, stating that It is expected in official circles there thnt President Cleveland will sign the Cuban belligerency resolutions, but will postpone giving them effect by a declaration, indicate thnt. the nature of the resolutions Is not even yet under stood nt the Spanish capital. As re peatedly explained, they are "concur rent" not "Joint" resolutions, nnd under a practice which has grown up In re cent years In congress, concurrent reso lutions do not require approval or dis approval hy the president, who may act upon them or not, as he chooses, but in no case Is called unon to sign them. Similar resolutions adopted by congress In connection with Armenian affairs, Jan. 20, lust, remain unacted upon by the president. The river and harbor appropriation bill was then taken up, and after forty minutes debate, was passed under sus pension of the rules, by a vote of 216 to 40. Mr. Catchlngs said it wns the best bill, the most scientifically constructed, und would redound more to the benefit of the whole country than any similar bill thnt had been presented to the house since he hnd boon In congress. Mr. Wndsworth (Rep.. N. Y.) chair man of the committee on agriculture, rend n letter from Secretnty Morton stating thnt In deference to the desire of the house he hnd nrrnngel to have gnrdon seeds for members put up In packets of five Instead of 15. giving a a total for congress of 2,025,000 pack ages. Mr. Crosvetior (Ren., Ohio) re ported the filled cheese bill from the committee on wuys and means and gave notice that he would call It up Wednesday. M ho Know K. A. Co oper? New York, April ft.
