For Their Mother.
London, June 22.—The queen is now
In London. An immense crowd gather-
id near Paddington station in the early
hours of this morning and waited with
”0116 patience.
Queen Victoria left Windsor castle at
noon by the sovereign’s entrance, fac-
lng the Long Walk, and traversed part
of the high Thames streets of Windsor
on her way to the railroad station. Her
majesty’s carriage was drawn by a. pair
of grays, with postilions and outriders.
The queen was accompanied by her
eldest daughter, ex-Empress Frederick
of Germany, and by Princess Christian
of Sleswick-Holstein and Princess Henry
of Battenberg, who occupied another
:arriage, preceding that of her majesty.
The queen on arriving at the railroad
station at Windsor walked through the
private waiting room leaning on the
arm of an Indian attendant and by
sloping gangways entered her salon
carriage.
The early hours were enlivened by
the pealing of bells, and in the morning
breeze everywhere floated the royal
standard. The first point Of interest in
the day’s proceedings ‘ was Windsor,
Where by 6 O’clock the short route lead-
lng from the castle to the Great West-
ern railway station was lined by a mass
of people gathered to see the queen
start. Flags and flowers were every-

QUEEN VICTORIA.
where, and the order of the day, “God
Save the Queen!” appeared on houses
and banners without end. The statue
of the queen near the castle was deco-
rated and gorgeously canopied in the
renaissance style, and tall Venetian
masts, with their fluttering pennons,
lined both sides of the route. The rail-
way station was beautifully decorated
in scarlet and gold, flowers in bloom,
and tall, artistic palms. The queen was
received by the directors of the railway.
The queen’s train, used for the first
time today, was drawn up close to the
entrance door. The magnificent engine
Queen Empress, beautifully painted
and picked out with gold leaf, carried
the royal arms emblazoned in gold and
colors in front and royal heraldic de-
vices over the splashboards of the driv-
ing wheels. The train was composed of
six carriages built on the American car-
ridor system and connected by therub—
ber covered passages so common in the
States. [The queen’s carriage, which is
{34 feet long. occupied the center of the
train. It weighs 27 tons, and is mount-
ed on two bogie trucks swung under
double hung suspension guides. Like
all the carriages, it is painted in Great
Western colors. chocolate, with cream
panels. The headings are’ in gold and
the door handles, with their molded
lions' heads, are gold plated. The doors
are emblazoned with the royal arms.
The running gear is encased in ma-
hogany, with a carved lion’s head at
each corner, above which is a gilded
imperial crown. The interior is divided
into three compartments—the center.
the queen's room, and at one end an
open saloon for her majesty’s maids, at
the other an open saloon for the gen-
tlemen in attendance.
A Magnificent Compartment.
The queen’s room has plate glass bow
windows and ,a domed roof, the ceiling
of which is white enamel with hand
painted borders. The curtains and up-
holstering are in white silk rep. The
door handles, curtain poles and incan-
descent lamps are silver plated. The
woodwork is mahogany, and the outer
doors are carved with the royal arms.
Near th‘e windows is the queen’s favor-
ite swinging armchair and sofa. A
‘small folding writing table, on which is
an ivory electric bell, completes the fur—
niture of the apartment. Sliding glass
doors communicate with the two sa-
loons. That for the gentlemen is fur--
nlshed in white morocco, that for the
dresser in white silk rep. Two other
falcons, each 59 feet long, equally rich
in decoration and furniture for the
suit, a corridor carriage for the officials
of the company and two vans fitted with
oil cooking stoves complete the train.
The start for London was made at 12:10
p. m., and for almost the entire. distance
the train passed between Scattered
groups of loyal people. Every station
Of the Great Western between Windsor
and Paddington had been decorated.
The railwayemployees everywherestood
at the salute, while the platforms were
crowded with cheering people.
Paddington was reached at 12:30. Here
the immense terminus had been trans-
formed on the ”up side” into a hall of
resplendent crimson, A'garlanded with
fringe gold, fragrant with the odors of
countless blossoms, walled on either side
by parterres of people. The state car-
riages from Buckingham palace were at
the end of the covered way. As soon
as the queen had taken her seat the
Life guards drew up in front and rear
as a roar of cheers proclaimed to wait-
ing.,thousands beyond that she had ar-
rived. Before starting a loyal address
was presented by the Rev. Walter Ab-
bott, vicar of Paddingtcn and chairman
of the Paddington vestry, who was ac-
companied by the tWO members of'par-
liament for Paddington.“ The passage-
way to Praed street was lined 'by the
Eighteenth Middlesex regiment, which
also provided the guard of honor. The
route to Buckingham palace was via
Oxford and Cambridge terrace, Grand
Junction roads and Edgeware road to the l
Marble arch, thence by Hyde park and
Constitution hill. Over the distance, ex-
cepting the portion of Great park, ey-
ery house in the background of the pic-
ture was superbly decorated, 'flags, flow-
ers, banners and festoons and endless
mottoes on the order of the day, “God
Save the Queen.” At Edgeware road a
- handsome triumphal arch was erected
by the Paddington authorities and an—
other had been put up by the Maryle-
bone vestry near the Marble arch.
An Enormous Crowd.
Throughout the route was tenanted
by an immense assemblage. Every
window had its occupants. every_roof
its sightseers, every available space in
the street and square, sidewalk and
gardens, the paths and chairs and even
the trees and railings of the parks were
black with loyal humanity: The queen
drove slowly to gratify her people. Her
face everywhere loosened the voice of
the multitude. 'In unrestrained strength
the rich and tumultuous expression of
loyalty and affection broke forth. Vol—
leys of cheers rose clearly above the
constant roar Of acclamation. Hats
were thrown in the air, handkerchiefs
waved in welcome, every one vied with
his neighbor in active demonstration of
loyalty and delight.
Nearing Piccadilly, the queen saw for
the first time the conspic'uofis evidence
of what had been prepared for the mor—
row. The grim gray walls of Apsley
House were gone in a profusion of deco-
ration. The grand stand at the side and
front of it, garlanded with flowers, flags
and mottoes, stood crowded with some
of the queen’s nobility, no less exuber-
ant in their welcome than that from the
packed windows and roofs Of St.
George’s hospital and the stands in
front, full of the queen’s commoners.
Through Burton’s gate the queen
passed on to the garden entrance of
Buckingham palace, always between
the living lanes of her subjects, always
the Object Of endless homage and
.salvos Of cheers which continued until
the gates had shut the queen from
View.
This afternoon at 4 o’clock, in the
throneroom Of Buckingham palace, her
majesty received the imperial and royal
envoys. The room is 64 feet long,
finely proportioned and richly deco-
rated. At the end opposite the en-
trance was the alcove formed by two
tall pillars surmounted by a carved
and gilded wreath borne by two winged
figures, to which were attached medal-
lions bearing royal initials. The walls
were hung with crimson satin, those of
the alcove with crimson velvet, both re-
lieved with a profusion of golden hues.
The ceiling was richly carved and gilt
in the boldest Italian style of the (if--
teenth century, emblazoned with ar—
morial bearings and had a white mar-
ble frieze adorned with bas-reliefs illus-
trative Of the wars Of the roses. Im—
mense crystal lusters hung from the
ceiling.
The dais, canopied in velvet, was car-
peted with royal axminster, the gift
of the women of England at the sug-
gestion Of 'the Duchess of Teck, a beau-
tiful example Of the carpet weaver’s
art, made at Bridgnorth, Shropshire.
It is 18 by 16 feet and of unusually fine
texture. The center is two shades .of
crimson damask and discovers the
monogram V. R. I. in bold letters of
gold, supported by the Tudor rose and
star of India, the whole being inclosed
in ‘a garter bearing the Old familiar
motto, “l-Ioni soit qui mal y pense.”
This is surmounted by the imperial
crown, entwined by a, wreath of oak
leaves tied with a ribbon. The border,
on an ecru ground, is composed—in
rightful colors—Of the rose, shamrock,
thistle. and lotus flower for India. At
the angles are animals properly colored
and lifelike in attitude allegorical Of the
colonies—the Indian tiger, the African
elephant, the Canadian beaver and the
Australian kangaroo. The extreme edge
of the carpet has the conventional
band worked in soft gold.
Royal Full Dress Banquet.
The queen at 9 O’clock in the evening
entertained at dinner 90 Of her most
distinguished guests.
The spacious supper room was a
fairy sight, exquisite costumes, dia-
monds and countless gems, the most
brilliant uniforms, stars, orders and
crosses without end, the royal liveries,
the table and buffet loaded with the
famous gold plate, the value of which
runs into millions, and Dresden china,
flowers and lights glittering up to the
highly enriched ceiling, with its foliage
and floral ornamentations, while around
and over all was that air of Old world
dignity which is of itself so impressive.
This seemed even to be reflected from
the great mirrors.
Next to Paddington the crowds se—
lected Buckingham palace as the most
interesting point to view the proceed-
ings, as the gathering Of the envoys and
their suits and the Indian officers in-
.vited to luncheon, to be afterward pre-
sented, had already begun at noon, and
many were the speculations relative to
the identity Of the bejeweled and order-
ed officers as they drove up in royal
carriages or smart royal hansoms hired
for the occasion. In the latter case the~
drivers wore cockades and had badges
on their left arms, velve pads, with the
letters “V. R.” embroidered in gold.
The police were kept busy attending
to fainting women, but the crowds were
in the best of humor and chaffed every
one.
A number of Americans armed with
kodaks had stationed, themselves Op-
posite the palace gate, and somebody in
the crowd shouted, “Now, Yanks, three
cheers for your mother!” raising a roar
of good humored laughter.
On the right of the palace gateway the
'Duchess of Connaught and her children
and some of the Battenbergs awaited
the arrival of her majesty. -
A few minutes before 1 o’clock a
hoarse roar of cheering in the distance
announced the approach Of the queen,
and the cheering grew in strength until
it amounted to a. deafening storm of
applause as the sovereign reached the
vicinity of the palace. «
The Queen In Black.
The queen was dressed in black and
bowed slowly, right and left, to the
loyal greetings of her subjects. She
looked pleased, did not wear spectacles
and was not more tired than any lady
of her age might be expected to be. The
Empress Frederick, who sat beside her
majesty, was also dressed in black.
Princesses Christian and Battenberg sat
opposite the queen and the empress.
Princess Christian wore a lilac costume
and the Princess Henry of Battenberg
was dressed in black. Two Scotch gil-
lies rode behind the carriage. So soon
as it entered the palace yard the car-
riage passed direct to the quadrangle,
Princess Henry of Batteinberg waving
I
her hand as she passed to her children
.who, with the Duchess of Connaught,
.Saluted her majesty amid an enthusi-
'astic renewal of the cheering and the
waving of handkerchiefs, etc.
The guards then paraded in the palace
yard, and the Duke Of Connaught, who
arrived soon afterward, was warmly
cheered. On entering the palace yard
the duke saluted the duchess and her
children and was then saluted by the
Life guards as they rode off.
The queen, so soon as she entered the
palace, proceeded to her private apart-
ments for luncheon, and the royal and
other guests had lunch in the state sup-
per room. Levee dress was w‘orn, and
the suits, which were also in levee cos-
tume, had luncheon in the garden and
the vestibule. '
Despite the enormous crowds in Lon-
don, seats to view the procession tomor-
row are almost going begging. Many
of the city syndicates today are dis-
tributing seats gratis among their dis-
appointed shareholders.
The rapacity of the omnibus com-
panies, which yesterday trebled the
amount Of their fares, has also had a
setback, and they in many cases today
reduced prices to the regular rates.
.A Red Blot on the Picture.
London, June 22.——Owing to the recent
explosions of bombs in Paris and the
arrival in England Of many foreigners
known to be connected with anarchy,
the Scotland Yard authorities have been
7ery.active.
The whole route of the procession to—
morrow has been closely examined, es-
pecially the bridges and the stands in
aheir vicinity, and the progress of the
queen to London today was carefully
watched.
Socialist and anarchist leaflets, treat-
ing the jubilee in threatening terms,
have been issued. One ht them de-
scribed the queen’s reign as “sixty
years of cowardly wars for gold on ig-
norant and defenseless savages,” and
as “an increase of the wealth of Great
Britain, but not for the mass Of work-
ing people, whose condition is worse
than 60 years ago.”
The leaflet quoted also says, “The
appalling mass Of lunatics sent to the
asylums yearly have been driven mad
by the stress Of the difficulties of life
during Victoria’s glorious reign.”

councillor. Sir Donald Smith, the Ca-
nadian high commissioner in London,
has been elevated to the peerage.

seat of Monterey county. The more
prominent buildings damaged are'the
armory Of Troop C, which had itswalls

revolver at his head discharged the
weapon, killing himself instantly. Wil-
son was about 37. Miss Hines was
about 33.

Washington, June 22.—The trial of
Allen L. Seymour, 3. New York broker,
charged with recusancy before the sen-
ate sugar investigating committee Of

The judge finally instructed the jury to
acquit Mr. Seymour on the ground that
Seymour had not been legally sum—
moned.
Proplxesled Her Own End.
Boston, June 22.—Mrs. Abby A. Dar-
ling, known for years throughout New
England as a clairvoyant and whose
headquarters were at Providence, was
found dead in bed today, she having
prophesied three years ago that she
would die today. A few days ago she
said, “Well, I’ll be dead on, time.”
