A HARD DAY FOR THE QUEEN
Exacting Programme Through Which the
Aged Ruler of England Struggied
Bravely—Addresscs Galore—The
Return to Windsor.
London, June 24.—-This was one of the
most fatiguing days of the week for the
queen, the official programme demand-
ing the reception of several distinguish-
ed bodies of official personages and the
reception of addresses at Slough, Eton
and Windsor. The chief event of the
day was the presentatiOn to the queen
of congratulatory addresses by both
houses of parliament, which took place
at Buckingham palace.
Nearly half a century has passed since
the house "of-commons .visited the sov-
ereign in a body, the last occasion be—
ing the presentation of an address ac—_
knowledging thereception of thequeen’s
message announcing the declaration of
war against Russia, and not 'since the
early forties, _.)vhen addresses were made -
Congratulating the queen on thevfailure
of attempts at assassination, has she
received thetwo houses together. There
were brief formalities at Westminster
today, the two houses meeting and the
formal announcement being made by
Lord Salisbury in the house of lords
and Mr. Balfour in the house of com-
mons that the queen would be- pleased
to receive the two houses. The lords
and commons then proceeded to the pal—
ace. There they assembled in the cham-
ber adjoining the ballroom, and after a
brief delay the door were thrown open,
and the announcement was made that
the queen was prepared to give them
audience. Thereupon the lord chancel-
l'or and the speaker of the house of com—
mons advanced side by side, each fol—
lowed by the members of his own house.
The lord chancellor knelt before the
queen, read the address while on his
knees and handed it to Victoria.
All Entertaine‘d at Luncheon.
. After the parliamentary ceremony
the queen received in the same manner
the mayors and provosts of provinces
and chairmen of county councils, and
all were afterward entertained at a
luncheon in the palace. They were at—
tired in levee dress, consisting of black
knickerbockers and stockings, black
velvet coats with steel buttons, black
plumcd hats and swords.
The queen left the palace soon after
4:30 p. m.,ne1urning to Paddington rail-
road station by the same route as that
followed on her arrival. She was greeted
with the same enthusiasm. There was
a pretty sight on Constitution hill, near
the palace, where, on the grand stands
used to view the procession yesterday,
Were 10,000 children from the board
schools, British church of England
schools, Wesleyan schools, Catholic
schools and Jewish schools, who were
inspected by the queen. Each child
wore a special medal, together with a
red badge, and the teachers wore blue
badges and white dresses. On the ar-
rival of the queen the children all join-
ed in singing the national anthem, led
by a band.
The Marquis of Londonderry, as
chairman, then presented an address
on behalf of the school board, and the
bishop of London and others did the
same on behalf of the other school bod-
ies. Among the members of the com-
mittee present were Cardinal Vaughn
and Baron Rothschild. There was a
tremendous outburst of cheering as the
queen departed. The weather was per-
fect.
The Arrival at Slough.
The queen arrived at Slough at 6:30
p. m. and was received there by Baron
Nathaniel Meyer de Rothschild, the
lord lieutenant of Buckinghamshire,
and by the other county officials. Ad-
dresses were presented to her majesty
by the county magistrates, the county
council and the urban district council.
Her majesty replied briefly to each ad-
dress and left Slough through a- caste]-
lated arch of the mediaeval periods. The
whole place was decorated in the most
handsome manner. The Royal Horse
guards furnished the escort of the
queen.
At Eton college a gateway of the
period when the college was founded,
that of Henry VI, A. D. 1440, had been
erected, and there were- also statues rep-
resenting Henry and Margaret of An—
jou, as well as. of the patron saints of
the college, St. Mary and St. Nicholas.
At the summit of the arch stood four
Eton boys dressed as heralds, and they
assumed to sound their trumpets, which
was done by the state trumpeters of the
guards.
At the entrance of the Upper school,
Where the queenstopped, there was an
arcade of the Jacobin period, on which
were emblazoned the names of the boys
educated at Eton and who subsequently
had become famous. Some of the names
were illuminated on parchment and en-
titled, “The Roll of the Famous."
A Touching Episode.
A reporter of The Daily Chronicle, in
his account of the scenes about Buck-
ingham palace yesterday, says:.
‘-‘The most touching incident of the
day was to come. I had moved out in-
to the fore court when a cheer from the
people just behind the railings warned
me to lookback. Then, above the gold
and crimson of the center balcony, the l
nurses of the Duchess of York were
seen opening a window and her two
children came out into‘ the sunlight in
plain white frocks, with blue sashes.
Behind them was a slight form tinier
still. As the eldest heard the cheering
he raised his little arm above his eyes
and saluted. The people’s enthusiasm
was unbounded.”
British Papers Praise Us.
London, June 24.—All ’ the London
newspapers, from The Times down—
ward, express the greatest gratification
at the kindly comments of the Ameri-
can newspapers on the queen’s jubilee
and at the vivid accounts of the cele-
bration contained in the newspapers of
the United States.

MILITIAMEN QUABRBL.
The Muster-fig Out of the Battery Almos.
Resultcd In a Free Fight.
Syracuse, June 24.—The Fifth battery
was mustered out of service of the state
national guard Monday night, and it
has just leaked out that the occasionwas
characterized by a disgraceful exhibi-
tion of rowdyism such as many military
men say lies at the bottom of the trou-
ble which has resulted in the disband-
ing of the company. Major L. W. Pet-
tebone, inspector of the Fourth brigade,
from Buffalo headquarters mustered
out the company and gave the men their
discharge papers.
After the brief ceremony was conclud-
ed the men of the disbanded organiza-
tion stood about in groups talking over
the situation and exchanging condo-
lences. Some one proposed a cheer for
Captain A. D. Hayes of the defunct
Fifth battery. One man shouted,
“TVhat’s the matter with Captain
Hayes?” but before the customary
“He’s all right!” could be given a bat-
tery man shouted out an epithet. This
was the signal for a general melee.
One member of the company who resent-
ed the insult to his old captain sprang
at the rowdy and landed four or five
stiff punches on his head and face. In
a second the men had grappled in a cor-
ner and half a dozen other battery boys
had joined in the fight. Some of the offi-
cers of the Forty- first Separate com-
pany who happened to be present stop-
ped \\ hat was assuming the proportions
of a free fight.
The disbanding of the Fifth battery
opens the way for the formation of a
new company of artillery at Buffalo.
The Fifth battery alleges shameful
treatment as the cause of the dis-
banding. The guns and some of the
harness used saw service in the civil
war. Repeated protests and requests
for better equipments have been un-
heeded, and the mustering out of the
battery is only the natural result of
this neglect. What the battery men
say is a last insult is the fact that some
of the discharge papers sent on to them
are not of the grade earned. Men who
have served a full five years are enti-
tled to full and honorable discharge pa-
pers which exempt them from jury du-
ty for life. There were eight or ten such
men in the company, yet it is said that
they received papers entitling them to
honorable discharge only. These pa-
pers have been returned for correction.
Major Alexander Barnie, assistant in
the ordnance department, has shipped'
the guns used by the battery to the ar-
senal in New York, and they will prob-
ably be exhibited as rare old war curi—
os. Local militiamen say that they
are good for nothing else.
