The city awoke on Thursday under a sounding the approach of the royal
cloudless sky with dazzling sunshine party. hollowing theta carne the per-
sonnel of the royal household; the her-
alds mounted en stallions from the royal
stud and caparisoned In Oricr►tu1 style.
'Die magnificent casettes of the Spanish
grandees followed. But the brilliancy
of this part of the cortege was fur sur-
passed when the famous royal gala
conches carve into view, each drawn by
eight superb white horses with golden
and silver harness and lofty colored
plumage, looking like the cotches depict-
ed on some illustrated page of a fairy
book.
Hollowing the Spanish grandees and
princes were the visiting princes, in-
cluding the Prince and Princess of
Wales.
adding Sts glories to the bewildering'
maze of colors in which the streets were
enveloped. From an early hour the
centres presented an aspect of extreme
animation. The entire night had been
pased amid the din of fireworks, sing-
ing and dunning, and thousands of
provincials, unable to secure shelter,
spent the night in cafes and in the
streets. At 8 o'clock crowds densely
packed the main thoroughfares and the
troops took up their posttlons, stopping
all traffic, and the whole city took on an
air of feverish expectancy. The espla-
nade fronting the royal palace ens oc-
cupied by regiments of the Royal Guards
in full gala uniforms, with glittering
breast plates and helmets. Detachments
of halberdiers with quaint cockades,
stood with weapons crossed at the
Princes' Gate leading to the palace court
yard. All along the route of the cortege
hurried preparations were going on.
Troops lined both sides of the streets in
solid ranks for miles.

The scene from the Puerto I)el Sol to
the Pardo Palace was one of striking
brilliancy. All the buildings were re-
splendent with the yellow and red colors
of Spain woven into sunbursts, huge
rosettes and graceful streamers looped
from roof to roof, and arches of roses
from which were suspended enormous
flower baskets and (railing vines.
Under this dazzling canopy of flags and
flowers surged dense masses of human-
ity in festival attire, the worsen wearing
white mantillas and bunches of bright
flowers In their hair and with bright
colored fans whipping the air. The
"nnulation of Madrid had turned out In
a body and was augmented to twice its
usual size by visitors from the country
and neighboring towns.

ROYAL BRIDEGROOJ 1.
As the King's coach appeared it was
greeted by a great roar, whsle the mul-
titude wildly waved handkerchiefs, fans
and parasols. His Majesty could plainly
be seen smiling and bowing to the popu-
lar greetings. Ile wore the uniform cit a
field marshal, his !tat surmounted by a
sweeping white plume. Around Itis
coach was a cavalcade of royal guards,
heralds, equerries and pages, holding
back the enthusiastic populace. Imme-
diately follow ing the royal coach came
the bride's party, forming another
glittering array of gala coaches, bear-
ing the lords and ladies in waiting and
the princes and princesses of the !douse
of Battenberg, and finally came the
farted ninhoguny coach with the radiant
bride, Princess Victoria, attended by
her mother and Queen Marie Christina.
FLOWERS SHOWERED ON BRIDE.
The appearance of the Princess who

aroused the people to the highest pitch
of emotion. Tien rind women cheered
rind shouted friendly salutations, while
others from the balconies of the houses
along the route showered flowers on the
Prince..ss and let loose hundreds of
pigeons carrying long bright streamers.
The bride looked most charming and
graciously acknowledged the continued
ovations.

BRITISH WARSHIP DAMAGED. 'WINNIPEG POWER Pi.ANT.
Battleship Montagu Runs Aground on n New Supply of Cheap Electrical Energy
for the City.
A despatch from Winnipeg says : Sir
Daniel McMillan tamest on the power at
the Winnipeg Elec•1r•;c Street Railway
Company's great plant on I'innawa
Channel, Winnipeg River. on Wednes-
day, inaugurating a new era in the city's
development. The plant is located sixty
miles from the city, and Is capable of
developing 10.000 horsepower, which
will be transmitted to Winnipeg for the
company's street railway system, light-
ing, manufacturing purposes, and will
enable there to practically cut their
former charges in half. The Informal
opening of the enterprise was witnessed
by a representative gathering of city
business men, including niemmners of the
Council.

A Bristol, England, despatch says:
The British battleship Montagu, of 14,-
WO
4;K)0 tons and belonging to the channel
fleet, went ashore during a dense fog
on Wednesday morning itt the entrance
of the Bristol channel. The Wessel struck
on a granite cone, south-west of Lundy
Island, known as Shutter Point; at 2.10

the rocks with bad rents In her bottom.
Several of her comportments are full if

with the water still gaining. She has
lost both propellers and her wireless np-
pnrnlus, and besides has several holes
In her plates. it Is doul,ttul whether she
ran lye reflontcd. Iter crew has been
trnnsferred to other ships.
Naval experts are of opinion that to
attempt to refloat the Montagu under
present conditions will mean her dis-
appearance In 30 fathoms of water. as
she is fixed precariously on a ledge and
in danger of overturning. 1f pessil►le an
bilempt will be made to patch up the
vessel before any attempt is undertaken

A Plymouth. England, despatch says .
The Infest news of the Montagu deepens
the grnvlly of the disaeler. The vast
rents In her bottom render It doubtful
whether she can be refloated. Her crew
hove been transferred to other ships.
According to latest reports received t t

FAMINE IN RUSSIA.
Peasants Dying Front Starvation and
Epidemics.
A despatch front London says: The
St. Petersburg correspondent of the Tri-
bune prints a distressing picture of the
famine In Russia. He says that peas-
ants lie prostrate in their huts, dying
from luck of food and from the epidemic
which swiftly follows in the wake of
fanzine. However loudly the sufferers
complain no help comes to them. Twe►-
ly-two provinces are affected, and the
victims number 20,000,000. •!'Ito distress
exceeds that which prevailed in the
famine years of 1891 and 18112. Such
help as is possihle needs to be Incrcus-
rd fivefold to be in the least degree ef-
fective. Private subscriptions come in
slowly. The Government's subsidy is
insignificant, while the officials place
obstacles in the way of every unofficial
helper. The Minister of the Interior,
fearing that reformers will come in con-
tact with the starving peasants, has or-
dered all soup kitchens that have been
opened without the permission of the
kcal Governors, to be closed. The
obeying of this order has closed what
in some cases were the only channels
o! relief.

The dead are given as from eight to

to thirty. Sumie say the beint►
thrown from No. 88 Calle Mayer. Others
es.sert that It came from a top storey
window. Still another version is that
Iwo bombs were thrown, one of which
struck a balcony as it fell from above.
while the second one was thrown di-
rectly in front of the wheels of the roy-
al carriage. It was a powerful engine
of destruction, being of polished steel
two-fifths of an inch thick. Its explo-
sion instantly killed two mules. four
soldiers, a lieutenant, and two women,
and beheaded a policeman. The pas-
sion for revenge was so great among
the spectators that they attempted to
lynch three French detectives, assuming
that they were foreign Anarchists.
ALMOST LYNCHED 111M.
As soon ns the bomb was thrown, the
thrower was seized and was taken
down stairs. As he entered the street
the people fiung themselves upon him,
shrieking: "Kill the assassin!" They
would have torn hint to pieces, if the
mounted g oar dia civile had not wheeled
and charged the mob. Under n strong
escort the murderer was led away while
the royal procession was panic stricken.
The King. however, quickly recovered
himself and speaking through a broken
window of the royal carriage, enquired
what damage had been done. Ile im-
mediately sent an orderly to reassure
his mother and Princess henry of Bal-
tcnburg. Then His Majesty, raising his
voice, commanded the procession lo
move az. Queen Victoria was deathly
pale, but she smiled courageously. At
that moment all the King's thoughts
evidently were for her. Ile palted
her arm and spoke to her continuously
all the way to the palace.
LED TO ANOTHER CARRIAGE.
The young King speedily mastered his
emotion, and give all his attention to
his terrified I►ride. The line of march
was quickly taken up to the palace,
which was only a quarter of a toile away
Neither the King nor Queen were hurt,
although how they escaped seems little
short of miraculous.
The bride made a brave effort to con-
trol her feelings, but the fearful transi-
tion from joy to horror was too much
for hiir:tan nerves to endure, and pre-
sently site burst into tears. 1f the
truth must he told, the King himself
wept ill sympathy. Meantime. at the
scene of the outrage the first paralysis
was succeeded by great confusion. The
crowd, when it realized what had hap-
pened. became infuriated and surged
toward the spot intent upon wreaking
vengeance upon the author of the crime.
Quickly a corodon of troops %•as formed
