He drove in royal equerri accompanied by one of the the latter be all gold, let and feathers, while Mr. Reid was quietly attired, wearing an inverness coat, an opera hat and a white tie. He drove up to the great door of the palace, where he was saluted in passing by a dozen men in gold, and was escorted to the waiting room by the master of the ceremonies, Colonel the Hon. Sir William James Col- Ville. Gen. Miles Rode Up. A minute or so later Gen. Nelson A. Miles, representing the United States army, rode up on a splendid horse and in full uni- form. He lingered for a moment there without any one attending to him and then rode out. The minor royallies next dropped in, fol- lowed by richly caparisoned steeds in- tended for the use of the princes. The arrival of the princes, who were to take part cort, formed a splendid arlet-covered steps to the entrance of the palace, and the Hanoverian steeds slowly drew the queen’s carriage into position. Coming of the Queen. At 11:10 a.m. a bustle on the main stair case announced the coming of her majesty. of Wales. Queen Victoria slowly descended the siairs, assisted by a scarlet-clad and white- turbaned Indian attendant. She was dress- ed in biack, wore a black bonnet trimmed with white, ahd carried a white sunshade. | at the foot of the stairway her majesty os picture, full of color.

NGHA M PALACE, and it had hardly come to a standstill when the landaus with the ladies and lords in waiting and the princesses were in their alloted positions. All the ladles wore light totlets, of blue, green, lilac and pink, the st Parisian dainties. ‘Phen the envoys’ landaus started. The princes next mounted their horses and ranged themselves in groups of threes. The carriage of the ex-Empress Frederick of Germany, who was dressed in lilac and who carried a white sunshade, waited untill after the others had gone, while the Duke of Cambridge chatted with her high- ress. In the meanwhile a platoon of the royal servants lined up on each side of tMe great door, and an inclined platform from the fcot of the stairs to the place to be occu- pled by the queen’s coach was placed in position and carefully tested by a Scotch Billie. After a momentary wait, a hoarse roar of cheers, quickly started by the royal an- them ‘played by the band outside, an- ncunced the arrival of the Prince and Prin- cess of Wales. The prince wore tht uni- form of a field marshal, and the princess was dressed in pale lilac and wore @ Hlac bennet with white feathers. The Prince of Wales mounted by the Both the princesses seated themselves op- pesite her majesty, and at 11:12 the queen's ccach started.

S her majesty emerged from the the sun broke brightly through the toute ard the queen raised her sunshade. ‘The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge [and the Duke of Connaught took up their places about her majesty’s carriage, afd the latter took its place in the procesdion, Crowds Smuler Than Expected. ‘Fhe crowds around Buokingham Palace were far less numerous than expected. In the Fore Court, just within the iron gates, were ¥fo stands, the first being for the use of members of the diplomatic [we and several officers of the quoen’s household, gM in brilliant uniforms. Across thé roadway and beyond the rail- ings of the Green Park the crowd was only three or four deep, but the roof of ‘| the palace was crowded by the royal sery- ants and their friends. By S$ o'clock all the palace stands were filled, and when the calonial procession came in sight, with Lord Roberts of Kan- dahar, the commander the forces in Ireland, at their head, riding a superb Ara- bian horse, they met*ith a tremendous re- ception. The trim, «upright figure of the popular general, his breast covered with orders, sitting his charger in the most sol- dierlike mann. elictea ‘shouts of “Hur- 5 The Canadian troops’ evoked approving comments on ail sides, but the feature of the colonial progessign was the de- tachment of Rhod jorse, headed by Captain Maurice |; whose armless sleeve gave evidence of active service.

Procession Passes ‘the Palnce. It s 9:50 a.m. when’ the head of the procession passed the palace. It was led by Captain Ames of the 2d Life Guards, one of the tallest men in the British army, who, by the special wish of the Prince of Wales, rode in front of the procession. He was followed by four of the tallest troo, ers in that regiment of very tall men, an the captain quite came up to expectations as the leader of the procession. The naval brigade followed, hats and carrying drawn cutlasses. met with a rousing reception. ~ % An interesting feature of the procession was furnished by the little princes and in straw They Prince George of Wales. princesses, who filled the first carriages. The girls, dressed in white, bowed right and left with the aplomb of their mothers, and boys, in Highland costume, saluted in the most approved style. A dazzling sight was presented by the military and naval attaches in their dif- ferent uniforms The ex-Empress. Frederick of Germany looked stout and pleasant, and was strik- ingly lke the queen as she was a few years ago. The gorgeous uniforms and_ splendid horses of the escort of princes, who rode by threes, made this part of the show-the feature of the entire procession. At their head were the Marquis of Lorne, son-in- law of the queen, and the Duke of Fife. son-in-law of the Prince of Wales. ‘The former wore a dark blue miform and the latter a red uniform. They were both cov- ered with orders. Behind them were every conceivable varlety of brilllancy, from Mo- hammed Ali Khan, the Egyptian represen- tative, in dark frock coat und fez, to the Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand, in a@ gorgeous hussar’s uniform. Duke of York in Rear. The Duke of York rode toward the rear of the princes’ escort, wearing a naval uriform and the Ordér of the Garter, while his children, on the. main balcony of the palace, waved their hands to him. By the side of the Duke of York were the Crown Prince of Siam and’Pritice Waldemar of Denmark. Then cathe Prince Henry of Prussia, Prince Albert of Prussia and Grand Duke Sergius of Rissia. The Crown Prince of. Naples, the Austrian archduke and the Grand Duke of Hesse were the last members of the princes’ ‘escort. As the queen drove under the archway, Princess May of Teck. punctual to a second, the royal salute was fired, announcing to the waiting millions that her majesty was on her way through Lendon. The queen met with a most enthusiastic reception, and as soon as she emerged from the palace gates she began bowing right and left to the cheering of her people. “The queen reached the palace on her return from the procession at 1:45 p.m. She was very much pleased and smiling and was not over-fatigued. “The whole affair passed off without a hitch. There was no scrious accidents, al- though a number of women fainted and a man fell out of a tree on the mall. The queen witnessed this and promptly sent one of her equerries to inquire as to the man’s condition. “The Canadian premier, Mr. Winfred Laurier, was warmly received throughout the. procession.” Ceremonies at St. Paul's, The broad steps of the pértico of St. Paul's presented to the queen a picture similar to that on a crowded stage, won- derful in its brilliant costuming. Imme- diately in front of the royal carriage were the church dignitaries, the archbishops robed in purple and gold and holding their gilded croziers, and the lesser ecclesiastics in white, with violet barettas. Then there were the cathedral dignitaries, in white and gold capes and scarlet skull caps, doc- tors of divinity in crimson cassocks and back of them two massed military bands. Beyond the bands were the bareheaded, surpliced choir, stretching to the cathedral door, a field of dazzling white. On the right of the arckbishops were two rows of seated judges, robed in black, scarlet and purple, and wearing, their strange wilte wigs. On the left of the archbishops were the other prominent ‘éccletiastics, including two colored bishops of the African church, and an officer of the“chlch army, in reg- ular uniform. abe In the section to the ‘right of the choir were the displomatic torps, with their ladies. The ambassadors‘ occupied the two front rows, and back of them were the ministers and others“in the order of their rank. Many of the’ ladfes wore summer toilettes of white, but thty were outshone by the glitter of the silver helmets, the gold-laced coats of ‘Yed, blue, green’ and all shades of color, tHe’ féweied orders glit- tering on so many hyeasts and the gaudy ailk of the Chinese contingent. Americans’ Sober Drens. The Americans present’ were distinguish- ed by their plain attire. The United States ambassador, Col. John Hay; Mrs. Hay and Miss Hay were in the second row, and Mr. Henry White, secretary of the United States embassy; J. R. Carter, second sec- retary of the embassy, and Spencer Eddy, Colonel Hay’s secreta were behind them. In the section on the left of the choir was an equally distinguished group of people. In the front row and nearest to the queen were the Marquis of Salisbury, the premfer and minister for foreign af. fairs, wearing the ribbon of the Order of the Garter; the first lord of the treasury, A. J. Balfour; the secretary of state tor the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, and their colleagues. Behind them was a mixed group of foreign potentates and a noble delegation of Indian princes, in shin- ing cloth-of-gold, incrusted with jewels.

BROUGHT HERE. The Man Who Got Away With Me- Cann’s Property. Marshal McMahon, who does duty in Wheeling, W. Va., arrived here at noon to- day, handcuffed to James S. Strosnider, the alleged swindler, who is charged with having obtained $250 and a diamond ring from Mr. Edward McCann of this city sev- eral weeks ago. Detectives Horne and Weedon met the officer and prisoner at the Baltimore and Ohio depot, and wanted Strosnider taken to police headquarters. They wanted this done in order that they might get a photograph of the defendant, but the sheriff would do nothing other than go to the City Hall and tura him over to the marshal. The arrival of the prisoner here is the result of a long legal contro- versy in Wheeling and Moundsville. The prisoner, it 18 alleged, pretended ne was a sprinter, and as McCann had known him in his boyhood days at Washington, Pa., he fell an easy victim. Strosnider, it is charged, elaimed he had arranged for a running contest, and it was his claim that he would win big money that induced Mc- Cann to part with his $250, and afterward let him have his diamond ring, as he said, to present a “flashy” appearance. In addi- tion to this case, it is charged that he swindled a woman in the “Division,” get- ting from her $25 and her bicycle. Stros- nider’s alleged confederate has not been captured. Strosnider was brought before Judge Bradley in Criminal-Court No. 2 this after- noon, and, at the suggestion of District Attorney Davis, the court fixed the amount of bail at $1,000.
