EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE THRONE AND THE PEOPLE.

London, April 26.

The Duke of York and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, daughter of the Scottish Earl of Strathmore, were married at Westminster Abbey at noon to-day, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York officiating,

There was a brilliant congregation, including Royalties, distin- guished people, representatives of the Government and of the Dominions, India. Crown Colonies and Protectorates. Enormous crowds lined the decorated route and gave the pair an ovation. Brilliant sunshine favoured the day.

The marriage of the Duke of York, whose active interest in the welfare of the workers has earned him the appellation "The Industrial Prince," to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, daughter of the ancient Scottish house of Strathmore, appealed to the popular imagination as much as did Princess Mary's wedding, as an event linking the throne and the people. The papers for weeks past have been filled with details of the lives and qualities of the young couple. London's transport services were taxed to the utmost to cope with the inrush of visitors. The weather prospects yesterday were most gloomy. There was heavy rain all day, continuing this morning; but a minutes after the service began at Westminister Abbey 2 burst et bled along the route all night. sunshine cheered the large numbers, mostly women, who had assem-

They were cheered by the huge crowds along the route, but perhaps the greatest cheer was reserved for the winsome bride. when, accompanied by her father in a resplendent state coach, she drove from the family mansion in Bruton Street via Hyde Park Corner Constitution Hill and the Mall.

The opening of the doors of the Abbey was the signal for a steady stream of distinguished Statesmen: Naval and Military officers. Ambassadors, representatives of the Dominions. India and the Crown Colonies and their ladies, whose exquisite gowns and furs were only excelled by the brilliance of the Peers' levee dress and the Generals

As the officiating clergy in magnificent robes advanced to the sacrarium, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and the Bishop of London sat awaiting the arrival of the Royal procession, which advanced up the nave and was arranged on either side of Their Majesties. The choir singing "Lead us Heavenly Father." heralded the approach of the bride. leaning on her father's drm, followed by two train bearers and with eight bridesmaids completing the gorgeous pageant, Queen Alexandra, who was seated on the King's left, rose and affectionately kissed the Duke of York, the Prince of Wales and Place Heary, The bridegroom wore the Air Force uniform, the Prince of Wales the Guards' uniform, Prince Henry the Hussar uniform

After the Dean of Westminister read the Exhurtation' in the revised form, the Archbishop of Canterbury performed the, service and the Archbishop of York delivered an address exhorting the couple to pursue a noble life. The Archbishop dwelt on the bridegroom's care for the welfare of workers. He had made himself at home in the mines, shipyards and factories. He had brought together the boys from the workshop and public school. After referring to Lady Eliza- beth's friendship with the Scottish countryfolk, the Archbishop said the Nation's classes making up the Commonwealth too often lived their lives apart; therefore, it was a great thing that there should be one family, whom all regard in a true sete as our own, making the whole Empire kin and helping to give it the spirit of one family life.

The vast congregation knelt in silent devotion as the Archbishop of Canterbury, holding the Primatial Cross, pronounced the benedic, tion. The National Anthem followed, and the Wedding Anthem was sung during the signing of the register. The bride and bridegroom, escorted by the choir and clergy along the nave, emerged from the West Door amid the plaudits of the multitude and the pealing tf the Westminster chimes.

The weather throughout was perfect, but one and a lafer came a peal of thunder and porrents of rain drove the crowds -half hours from the streets to shelter.

MAIL STEAMER ABANDONED.

Capetown S. A., April 26.

A sensational sequel to the stranding of the Portuguese mail steamer Mossamedes on Cape Frio is reported by the Commonwealth Dominion Liner Par: Victor, which was summoned by wireless, and found the Mossamedes abandoned. There was no sign of the two- hundred and thirty-seven souls aboard, including twenty-nine women and thirty-five children.

Two of the passengers were British and the remainder Portu- guese. The Per Victor is searching for beats. Grave anxiety is felt in regard to the safety of the passengers, as there are no landing places in the neighbourhood and a heavy sea is running.

U. S. MARINE TRANSPORT STRIKE.

THE TIRAH ABDUCTION.

Lendor. April 26. The abduction and rescue of Miss Male Ellis furaish "a story full of thrilling particulars and resplendeat with examples of Eng- lish puck and Indian gallantry.

Reuter's Simla correspondent narrates that when Mollie was carried off from Kohat early in the morning of the 14th inst the stealthiness of the miscreants' movements was assisted by a violent wind-storm which drowned her efforts to raise

an alarm. The abductors hulf carried and halt drove the terror-stricken girl into the unknown along a steep and rocky path until dawn. They hid during the day and this continued for four days and nights until the captors at length reached their mountain fortress home in Tirah. The secrecy of their movements rendered the task of the native. rescue parties most difficult; but Kuli Khan, an Indian Political Assistant, kecaly followed a faint scent and at length encountered the abductors who, however, strenuously denied all knowledge of the matter. Kuli Khan at length penetrated the truth and succeeded in sending an encouraging letter to the girl, whom the captors". women-folk in the meantime reasonably treated.

Mrs. Starr, with the Chief Commissioner's Risaldar, shortly arrived in the neighbourhood, caly to find that their intrusion was clearly unwelcome. The ruling Mullah sent a message from Kanki Bazaar.enjoining them to turn back, but this did not deter their advance thither. The Mullah finally succumbed to pressure and the leader of the gang allowed Kul Khan to proceed to the fortress where he had Mollie carried on a man's back to the Mullah's house. The abductors, however, stood round fierce and unrelenting and making it clear that they still regarded the girl as a captive At this stage the miscreants learnt that an Afridi rescuing party was attacking the homes, whereupon Shabazada, the murderer of Mrs. Ellis, wildly gripped Mrs. Starr, hustled her from the room and threatened the lives of both women. The Mullah, enraged at the inawi to the sanctity of his roof, cursed Shabazada and his com- panions, whose action dramatically led to the unconditional surrender. of Miss Ellis..

COLONIAL MEDICAL SERVICE.

Lendon, April 26..

In the House of Commons, replying to Lt. Col. F. E. Fremantle, Cap. Hon. W. Ormsby-Gore said there had been no serious difficulty in securing suitable candidates for vacancies in the Colonial medical services, except in West Africa and a few other posts for which it was only possible to offer small salaries. He knew of no grounds

for thinking that the conditions of a great majority of the Colonial medical services, were unsatisfactory. Recruitment for these ser- vices was continuing in Britain, but had been discontinued in the case of a few low salaried posts in the poorer Colonies. The fullest possible information was given to all intending candidates.
