Palais Royal, = G St VICTORIA IN LONDON (Continued from First Page.) and roof of St. George’s Hospital and the , stands in front full of the queen’s com- moners. Through Burtons gate the queen passed en to the garden eatrance of Buckingham Palace, always between the living lanes of her subjects, always the object of endless hemage and salyos of cheers, which con- tinued until the gates had shut the queen from view. Police Kept Busy. 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 ko- daks, had stationed themselves opposite 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. The cheering grew in strength until it amounted to @ deafening storm of applause as the sover- ‘gn reached the vicinity of the palace. The queen was dressed in black and bow- ed slowly to tie right and to the left, to the greetings of her subjects. She looked pleased, did not wear spectacles and .p- peared not more tired than any lady of her age might be expected to be. The Em- press Frederick, who sat beside her majes- ty, was also dressed in black. Princesses Christian and Battenberg sat opposite the queen and the empress. The Princess Christian wore a lilac costume and the Princess Henry of Battenberg was dressed in_black. Two Scotch gillies rode behind the car- riage. As soon as it entered the palace yard the carriage passed direct to the quadrangle, Princess Henry of Batte1- berg waving her hand as she passed to her children, who, with the Duchess of Connaught, saluted her majesty amid an enthusiastic renewal of the cheering and waving of handkerchiefs. The guards then paraded in the palace yard, and the Duke of Connaught, who followed soon afterward, was warmly cheered. On en- tering the palace yard the duke saluted the duchess and the children and then was sa- luted by the Life Guards as they rode off. The queen, after she entered the palace, proceeded to her vrivate apartments for lurcheon, and the royal and other guests had lunch in the state supper room. Levee was worn, and the suites, who were also in levee dress, had luncheon in the garden and in the vestibule. Fear Anarchist Outrages. Owing to the recent explosion of bombs in Paris and the arrival in Ensland of many foreigners known to be conn ad witn anarchy, the Scotland Yard authori- ties have been very active. ‘The whole route of the procession tomorrow has béen closely examined, cs e; and the stands in their vi Socialist and anarchist treating the juLilee in threatening terms have been i One of them des-ribes the « as “sixty years of cowardly wars gold on ignorant and defens-iess sav- ‘an increase of the wealth of Great Britain, but not for the mass of working people, Whuse condition is worse than sixty years ago. The leaflet quoted also gays: “The appalling mass of lunagics sent to the asylums yearly have been driven mad by the stress of the difticulties of life dur- ing Victoria's reign.” Queen Will Not Abdicate. In regard to the revival of the periodical rumor of the queen's intention to abdicate in favor of the Prince of Wales, which the Exchange Telegraph Company again cir- ates, the Westminster Gazette says: “When the rumor was circulated months ago, we were informed on ‘the highest au- thcrity that it was unfounded. In spite of the enormous crowds in Lon- dcn, seats to view the procession tomor- rcw are almost going begging. Many of the city syndicates today are distributing seats gratis among -their disappointed shareholders. The rapacity of the omnibus companies, which yesterday trebled the rates of their fares, has aiso had a setback, and they, in many cases, today reduced prices to the regular rates. United States special envoy, Mr. White- law Reid; Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U.S.A.; Rear Admiral J. N. Miller, U.S.N., and the members of the United States spectul mbassy reached the palace a few minutes after 2 o'clock. ‘They all wore evening dress with the ex- ception of the American officers, and the republican simplicity of their attire was in Startiing contrast with the briliiancy of the uniforms around them. The American Party was received by the master of cere- monies and conducted by one of the queen’s equerrie to marques in the gardens, where lunch was served. Mr. Reid, however, did rot go to the garden, but was escorted to the state sup- per room, only his suite being entertained in the marques. Mr. Reid was received by the Prince of Wales in the most cordial manner. After lunch the envoys strolled about the palace. IRISH MEMBERS PROTEST. Would Not Join in the Address of Congratulation to Victoria. LONDON, June 21.—The house of com- mons was crowded today when the first lord of the treasury, Mr. Balfour, moved, and Sir William Vernon Harccurt, the liberal leader, seconded, an address of con- ulation to the queen upon the sixtieth arniversary of her accession to the throne. Mr. Dillon, chairman of the Irish parlia- mentary party, protested in vehement lan- guage. He explained that the attitude of himself and his party was that they would not vote in favor of any amendment, but would vote against the adoption of the address, in which the Irish could not share. Mr. John Redmond, the Parnellite leader. amid laughter from the conservatives and unionists, moved an amendment to the ad- dress and caused an animated scene. Mr. Redmond protested against Great Britain’s rule in Ireland, and asked the house to adcpt an amendment to the effect that it deemed it a duty to place on record that during the sixty years of her majesty’s reign Ireland had suffered grievously from famine, depopulation, poverty and the con- tinued suspension of constitutional liber- ties, with the result that the Irish are dis- contented and disaffected and unable to join in the celebration. James O'Kelly, Parnellite, member for North Roscommon, seconded the motion. Program of Yesterday. Queen Victoria began the celebration of her jubilee yesterday as was befitting her entire career, before the altar of her faith. ‘Throughout London, the united kingdom and the empire, in every cathedral, church or chapel of the Established Church of England, were held services similar to those at St. George’s Chapel, Windser; where her majesty paid her devotions and offered solemn thanksgiving. ‘The announcement that the services at St. George’s Chapel would be private and for the members of the royal family pre- vented the gathering of a large crowd. ‘The scene was most impressive, and the service very simple. Her majesty sat in the cueir of state, immediately in front of the communion rail, and just beside the brass plate whose inscription designates the spot which was the temporary burial place of the Prince Consort. ‘The women and men who are the grand officers of the queen’s household entered first. followed by the Military Knights of Windsor in the fuil coztume of cocked hats and scarlet coats. ‘The Duke of Devonshire and Lord Rose- bery occupied their stalls as Knights of the Garter. The rest of the choir was empty, the seats of the royal family being near the queen's. The Dean of Windsor, wearing the in- signia of chaplain of the Order of the Garter, officiated, assisted by the Lord Bishop of Barry and several canons. The Queen Enters the Church, Punctually at 11 o'clock, amid the soft strains of an organ voluntary, the queen arrived from the cloisters at the entrance, Assisted by her Indian attendant, she walk- ed slowly to the chair of state, the con- gregation standing. She was dressed in black, except for a white tuft in kas A Frederick of G ‘red press erick of Germany, att! in deep black, took the seat at the right of the queen, while the Duke of Connaught, all ee wearing his Windsor uniform, seated him- self at her left. otters them- selves closely behind and looked very like @ simple family of, worghipers. ng them were thg Duchess of Con- naught, Prince Henry of Prussia and Prin- cess Henry, Pringe Christian and Prin- cess Christian, with thelf children; Princess Henry cf Battenberg, tie Grand Duke Ser- gius and the Grand Dughess.

After the first collect a special collect was read, and instead of the usual prayer for the queen and royal family, two special prayers were substituted, containing the foliowing: “Almighty God, who rulest over all the kingdoms of the world and disposest of them according to Thy good pleasure, we yield Thee unfeigned thanks for that Thou wast pleased to place Thy servant, cur sovereign lady, Queen Victoria, upon the throne of this realm. “Let Thy wisdom be her gulde and let Thine arms strengthen her; let justice, truth and holiness, let peace and love flour- ish in her days. Direct all her counsels and endeavors to Thy glory and the wel- fare of her people, and give us grace to obey her cheerfully for conscience. “Let her always possess the hearts of her people, let her reign be long and pros- perous, and crown her with immortality in the life to come.” A special prayer for unity was sald, and there were special psalms and gospels used instead of those for the day, the gospel being the sixteenth verse of the twenty- second chapter of St. Matthew: “Render, therefore, unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's.” There was no sermon, but a _speciul hymn, written by Right Rev. William Walsham, lord bishop of Wakefield, with music by Sir Arthur Sullivan, was sung at her majesty's request. The third verse was as follows: “O, royal heart, with wide embrace For all her children yearn’ h, realm, such mother grace her enemfes have no advan- wove returning! and’s flag flies wide unfurled, All tyrant: wrongs repelling; ke th orld a better world earthly dwelling.” Thanksgiving Prayer. Before the benediction the following spe- cial thanksgiving was offered: “O Lord, our Heavenly Father, we give Thee hearty thanks for the many blessings which Thou hast bestowed upon us during the sixty years of the happy reign of our gracious queen, Victoria. We thank Thee for progress made in knowledge of Thy marvelous works, for increase of comfort given to human life, for kindltest feeling between rich and poor, for wonderful preaching of the Gospel to many nations, and we pray Thee that these and all Thy other gifts may be long continued to us and to our queen, to the glory of Thy holy name, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.” The choir of St. George's Chapel ren- dered the musical portion of the service, Sir Walter Parrett presiding at tne organ. The service lasted forty minutes, the queen remaining seated throughout and following closely the specia};prayers and hymn. The Queen's Token to Her Family. At the end there was a pause. ‘The queen, with bowed head, continued in si- lent prayer. Then’ followed a touching scene, which will‘éver linger in the mem- ory of those whg withéssed it. Summon- ing Empress Frederick, who bowed low at her side, the quepn ktssed her on both cheeks. The Duké of Connaught and oth- ers of the family followed, receiving on bended knee a similar token of affection. In many cases the recipient was kissed several times. i The queen was profoundly moved, and tears rolled down‘her cheeks. At last, and evidently with gréat rehictance, she beck- oned her Indian attendant, and, leaning on his arm, passed slowly“out of the chapel, the entire congregation standing, the soft light falling through the multi-colored windows, and the exquisite strains of the organ rising and swelling beneath the Gothic-bannered roof. a LOTS FOR SCHOOL SITES.

TOLEDO, Ohio, ,June, 21.—Although the republican state gpnvention does not as- semble till tomoyrow :evening, there are many delegates here teday. There is no cpposition to the4ndersement of Senator Henna for re-eledifon of to the renomin:- tion of Gev. Bushpell’ gnd the rest of the state officers, but:)thene is a hard fight pending between Maj.harles W. T. Dick, secretary of the ‘Rational committee, and Hen. Chas. L. Kurtz, for chairman of the state campaign committee. As the McKirley ‘atd Hanna men are supporting Dick; ‘and the Foraker and Bushnell following’ fay$r Kurtz, this con- test is the feature of the convention. Nothing else is heard:of here today, and this contest for the control of the organ- ization is what bas brought the delegates here so early. me at Dick claims is election with thirteen out of the twenty-one state cognmiiteemen. Dick arrived yesterday, and Kurtz will be bere tonight. Both have opened headquar- ters, and their rcoms are the only poinis of interest, The Kurtz men claim that the state con.mittee today stands’ ten for Kurtz, ten for Dick and one doubtful. ‘When the delegates meet by congressional districts tomorrow afternoon the members of the state central committee will be se- lected, and that committee elects the cam- psign chairman. : a Tt cures painfv! emarting feet takes the of corns. ions, It's ne all druggists Pe ae » Boy, AT THE WHITE HOUS No Objection Made by Spain to Min- ister Woodford. HIS SYMPATHY FOR THE COBANS Many Failed to See the Presi- dent. SELECTION OF CONSULS eee Not the slightest intimation has reached the President that Gen. Stewart L. Wood- ford will be objectionable to Spain as min- ister to that country because of sympa- thetic utterances on Cuba twenty-seven years ago. The President has seen the statements about Gen. Woodford, and awaits any action by the Spanish govern- ment. April 4, 1870, Gen. Woodford addressed &@ meeting in Cooper Union, New York, the “ten years’ war’ being then in progress, in which he expressed sympathy with the struggling insurgents, and predicted that in the course of time they would secure their independence. He justified the Cu- bans in their engaging in war, and thought the people of this country ought to give their sympathies to the patriots. Gen. ‘Woodford’s name was prominent on the list of the Cuban League which existed then, and is now on the list of the new league, whether by his knowledge is not known. Among members of Congress who visited the White House today there was no feel- ing that the speech of Gen. Woodford that many years ago could be urged againsi him now. “The statute of limitations cught to cover that,” said a senator who voted against the Morgan resolutions. Several congressmen were glad, they said, that Gen. Wcodford was on record that far, but did not believe any bjec- ticns Spain might hold would amount to anything. President McKinley did not speak about the matter during the day to his callers. Secretary Gage and At General Me- Kenna were with the F during the aay, but the chief executive said nothing to them about the ter. He cannot see anything so far in what Gen. Woodford said that would mal him persona non grata to Spain. Gen. Woodford expressed a sympathy which is univer in this country. Spain has a pretext, it is felt, for making ions, but she mzy be too discreet to The incidents which might artse objections, it is said, might not be to the liking of the Madrid government, Failed to See the President. The President has had enough of the crowds of office-seekers who daily invest the White Hous He thought he woull bave obtained a st long ago, but, with ail his experience with the tenacity of of- fice hunters, he had underestimated their staying power. They are with him morn- irg, noon and night. The question of ag: changing tie rules so as to further limi the atiendance has been under serious con- sideration by White House officials, but nothing may be done, the fervent hope ani- mating all breas there will let-up wnen Congress adjourns. Today all rooms were filled with patient aiters, but patie: reéeived no reward. The President had business all through the day, and when 1 o'clock rolled around the enxious ones were notified that there was no hope. They filed away to return tomor- row. The President will be too busy then, and his labors are not likely to be lightened enovgh any time soon to see all callers every day. After an hour with bis dentist this morn- ing, the President began receiving con- gessmen and cabinet members. Secretary Gage called early with Col. George Leighton, a prominent business 1, man of St. Louis. Col. Leighton sees an improvement in the business outlook, and so told the President. ° Secretary Gage is every day receiving en- ccurayizg news. He said to a Star reporter today that the outlook is fast improving, and was hopeful to an encouraging degree. Appointment of Consuls. It is said today that the President has no intenticn of taking up the appointment of consuls and consul generals until a later period. The appointments recently made have been to fill vacancies, and no places have been given out requiring removals, Trese eppeintments have brought an influx of cand.dates to town. Senators Burrows, Spooner and Nelson were at the White House today hunting places for constituents from thelr respec. live states. Adjt. Gen. Cowles of North Carolina, an applicant for the Greek mission, has’ ar- rived in the city to keep his case before the President. Unable to Go to Philadelphia. President McKinley is being urged to go to Philadelphia to attend the Saenger- bund, the great musical festival, which opened today. The President was some tine ago formally invited to attend, but did not respond. He is ex anxious to attend the great festi al, but will not be able to gc owing to pressure | of business. Mrs. McKinley’s love for music also inclined her to the hope that the President could go over. Mayor Swift of Chi Mason were among the day's callers. Both spoke a good word for Dr. Kerr, who is an applicant for a consular piacu.’ Dr. Kerr % © and Senator be a | will probably be among the Illinois men who will get in on the consular list. Senator Teller went to the White House today with ex-Representalive Hosea Town- send of Colorado. Mr. Townsend is an applicant for a position, but the call of Senator Teller with him was purely a per- sonal one. This is the second Ume Senate~ Teller has been at the White House. HT first visit was to see a*friend. He did not then see the President, but saw him to- day, and they had a pleasant meeting. Senator Teller has not signed his name to the paper of an applicant for office and will not do so. He has made no request of any part of the administration. Ex-Governer Fletcher of Missouri, now living in this city, was at U:e White House. He is being strongly pushed for register of the treasury to succeed J. Fount Till- men. His friends think -he stands well in the fight. The colored applicints are almost sure that the place will go to one of them. There is a tradition, coming from early in the administration, that the President said this place would be given a colored man. Colored applicants for West India_con- sulships are making things warm. Every day a number of them go tc the White House to see what the prospects are. A frequent caller revently has been C ee Sturgeon, colored, of Boston. He was on ce ousted from a convention of Reed men in Massachusetts for hurrahing for McKinley. Years ago he predicted that McKinley would one day be President. He was born in the West Indies and speaks French and Spanish. Representative Pitney of New Jcrsey, prominently mentioned as the next repub- Mcan candidate for governor of his state, and Representative Howell, also of New Jersey, saw the President. Mr. Pitney ts urging the appointment of Samuel S. Lyon of Boonton to the consulate at Osaka, Japan. A delegation of Kentuckians today call- ed to present John W. Langley to the President and to urge his appointment to a deputy auditorship. Representative Darr of West Virginia accompanied the party. The President is understood to have spoken pleasantly of Mr. Langley and to have in- timated that he would either give him the deputy auditorship or something which would be just as satisfactory. Mr. Lang- ley was the republican candidate for Con gress in the tenth Kentucky district last fall. He made a good showing for him- self and his party. For Chief of the Engraving Bureau. Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island is in- teresting himself in Col. L. B. Pease of his state. Senator Wetmore would like to have Col. Pease made chief of the bureau of engraving and printing, but does not know when there will be a vacancy. It is said that Claude M. Johnson, the present chief, will be retained for ‘an indefinite time. Col. Pease was a candidate for public printer, and next to Mr. Palmer was the strongest man. Senator Cullom visited the White House regarding coming appointments for the southern part of Illinois. The slate which has been mentioned in The Star for that section will go through. There will be no change unless it is in the marshalship, for which C. P. Hitch ts slated. Uniforms at the White House. ‘The new i¢ea of White House employes wearing uniforms has been criticised as leading to the livefy and court formality of Europe. ‘ecretary Porter has noticed these criticisms and says that he is will- ing to accept the responsibility for sug- gesting to employes the advisability of uniforms. He says that there has been a general demand for uniforms at the White House. This is due to several reasons, but the principal one is that visitors to the White House are frequently embarrassed by not knowing to whom to apply for in- formation. President McKinley knows uniform idea, and has not | criticisms that have app only one employe, Arthur Simmons, | doorkeeper to Mr. Porter's room, has ap- peared in uniform. It is a light blue serge suit, bound with a small white cord. Other employes will don uniforms by degrees. jothing of the NEW RULE IN EXC CASES. Commissioner Wight Suggests Change as to Signatures of Agents. If Commissioner Wight’s recommenda- tion shall be appreved, the excise board hereafter, in considering applications for liquor licenses, will not accept the signa- tures of agents of property, as it has here- tofore done. This question was recently raised by Attorney Shoemaker of the Anti- Saloon League, who represented that the signatures of agents of property had been accepted by the excise board, when the real owner of the property was opposed to being estabilshel. Coim- in his recommendation upon the subject, say: “The matter referred to in this paper is one of importance, and I recommend that the signatures of agents of property be not considered in applications for licenses un- less they are accompanied with satisfac- tory evidence that they are actually the agents of the owners whose names ey sign, and are authorized io sign such names to applications for liquor licens “I am well aware of the fact that prop- erty is given into the hands of agents for general purposes, but it is not in all cases intended that the agents should exercise their discretion in this particular matter. It seems to me that there is no responsi- bility placed upon the excise board, other than to see that signatures are attached and certified to by the lieutenant of the police precinct in whicn the proposed busi- ness is to be located, but that the assessor should satisfy himself, in order to give the required certificate, that the signatures to each application are actually the signa- tures of the owners of the property, cr of agents duly authorized to r€present the owners. “The clause which refers to the police department requires that chey shall be sure of the genuineness of the signatures, end is not, in my opinion, intended to throw upon ihem the responsibility to ascertain Whether or not the agent has a right to sign for the owner. tects Bicyclists.
