The best man was Assemblyman James K. Manee. The usheis were L. Albert Vautrb'an. Thomas J.

Chattdrton. and William Degernoin. The bride was given away by ber father. Morris C. Mengis.

The groom's gift to the best, man was a solid gold initial rinK. To the ushers he gave diamond scarfnins. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and so was the Mengis home where a reception was held. After the reception testimony and has more information on Hie subject than any other committee. I submit that if every precedent is not to be violated it will be referred to the judiciary committee." Senator Grady said that he belonged to both the cities and the judicary and that in his view the bill belonged to the judiciary committee.

The Senator said that he and his neighbor, Elsberg, agreed on that point. Marshall replied that Grady and Elsberg did not constitute the whole of the Senate. "I would like to ask just what share of the Senate the gentlemen from the Fourteenth and Fifteenth do constitute?" be asked. "Only about two thirds," was the. reply.

Lieutenant Governor Woodruff said he had certainly set no precedent in sending the bill to tho judiciary committee, and that the Burr law had originally been before the oomiiiiUee on internal affairs. He declared the ivN crencc of the bill to tho cities committee, would stand, unless the Senate ordered otherwise. Senator McKinney moved that the measure be referred to the judiciary committee. Marshall again strenuously opposed that plan. Several of the Senators explained their voles.

Ellsworth, the majority leader, said that it seemed to him that the bill properly belonged to tbc judiciary committee because it dealt with the affairs of villages quite as much as cities. Senator McCarren 'hot was a friend the Q'H. and had originally introduced il. but he was bound to say that he thought it belonged to Senator Bracken's committee, and he hoped to counsel his associates of lite justice of repealing the Burr act.

Friends and Enemies of the Admiral Agree That the Case Is Now Cisposed Of. NO HOPE FOR HIM IN CONGRESS. ScWey Legislation Will Not Get Through Democrats Say Views of People Will Not Be Changed. Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth Street. Washington, February 20 The President's decision on the appeal of Admiral Schley against the findings of the court of inquiry is taken very quietly by members of Ccn cress.

It was about what every one ex pected, and the announcement created little Btir one way or another. The friends and enemies of Schley generally agree that the case is now disposed of and will be completely dropped unless it becomes a political issue end Is submitted to the voters for decision. The Washington Post, which has been known as 'the leading Schley organ, asks that the matter be ended, in an editorial this morning as follows: "The President's memorandum upon the appeal of Admiral Schley neither surprises nor enlightens us. We derive from it Mr. Roosevelt's personal opinion, and that is all.

Ho hau 'devoted to the task his conscientious efforts' and are sure that his verdict is in every way sincere. Wc go still further and declare that, with the material at his dispjosal, he could not well have reached any other conclusion. The 'memorandum' is a nterfectly honest and intelligent utterance. Nothing else could have been expected. "As things now seem to us, nothing is really changed.

The controversy and its alignments remain intact. Admiral Dewey still thinks that Schley was, from a fighting puim ui view, in command 01 trie neet juiy 3, 1898. Mr. Roosevelt is under a contrary impression. Public opinion will bo at no loss to chose between these opposing thoughts." For the rest, nothing.

It is the same old tiresome squabble. We join the President in hoping that this may be the last of it." The feeling in Congress among the Republicans is that the President's action was correct and all that could have been expected. The Democrats say that it will not change the view of a single person who believes that Schley was the hero of Santiago, but that, if anything, it will serve to strengthen the popular feeling that Schley is a martyr. Even the Democrats, however, say it is time for Schley to quit. Representative McRae, a Democrat from Arkansas, said to day to the Eagle correspondent: "Schley will have to rest his case for the present and for all time so far as the present administration goes.

There is no hope for him in Congress, for the President has been assured by the leaders in both Houses that no pro Schley legislation will get through." Representative Meyer, a Democratic member of the naval committee, said: "The decision adds nothing new to the discussion and will not change any one's conviction. It seems to "me that nothing could be gained by further agitation of the case." The Republican members of the naval committee say that the President's treatment of the appeal was very clear and fair and tnat the conclusions were wise and must be considered as final. They will fight any move that may be made to action on any of. the various Schley, resolutions that are now pending in the committee. Mr.

Mudd of Maryland insists that be will nut the members of the naval committee on record by compelling a vote on his resolution to give to Schley the thanks of Congress. The other Republicans of the committee will, in all probability, oppose this move, so it is very likely that the matter may never come to a vote even in committee. Secretary Long, referring to the President's statement upon the appeal of Admiral Schley, said: "I have no comment to make on the President's ruling upon the appeal of Admiral Schley, except to express my appreciation of its thorough, conscientious, straightforward character. It is of course gratifying that the Navy Department is sus tained. The decision will oe reaa as no oin er document would be.

and I believe will di rect public opinion and tend to close the matter. FUNERAL OF CHARLES LTIFFANY Dr. Parkhurst Conducts a Simple Service at the Madison Square Presbyterian Church.

Senate Refers Measure to Judiciary Committee, Which Has Not Favored It in Other Years. MARSHALL'S FIGHT FUTILE. Plea to Send Bill to Cities Committee Disregarded Several Democrats Vote With Republicans. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, February 20 When Senator Mar shall this morning introduced in the Senate an identical bill with that of Assemblyman Morgan, to repeal the Burr law of 181)6, which prohibits Brooklyn from going into Suffolk County for a water supply, a lively debate ensued over the reference, of the bill. Mr.

Marshall wanted it to go to the cities committee, but Senator McKinney of Suffolk and Senator Brackett insisted that it should go to the judiciary committee. Finally Mr. McKinney made a motion to that effect, which was carried by a vote of 26 to 1 In a way this may be regarded as a test vote, though several men who favor repeal, like Senator McCarren. voted for rcterenec to the judiciary committee. Lieutenant Governor Woodruff 'had originally referred the bill to the cities committee, where some of its friends thought it would have a better chance than in the judiciary committee, presided over by Senator Brickett of Saratoga.

It had been before that committee in years past, and never emerged from Senator Bracken's committee room. Senator Marshall and Assistant Corporation Counsel Whitman believed that a change of reference would be a good thing for the bill, and especially so as more New York men are found on the cities committee. Senator McKinney, who represents Suffolk, objected to the reference and said that it was not lair to have city men pass upon the matter to the exclusion of the country mem bers of the Senate. He was upheld by Senator Brackett. who said that a dangerous precedent would be established by taking from a committee a bill which it had once considered and give It to another committee, because it might have a better chance under changed conditions.

He said that Senator Marshall was making no friends for his bill by such tactics. Marshall replied that the judiciary committee was not appointed with the idea of considering city matters primarily and that It could be assumed in this connection that the City of New York was quite as important as any single county in the state. "This bill," replied Senator McKinney, "re fere chiefly and directly to a county which has not a city in its borders and which Is at least forty miles distant from a city. The law which it proposes to repeal is not a special law, but a general one which protects counties wishing to reserve to themselves a pure water supply.
