Protestants and Catholics to Cele- brate the Event Separately—Pre- cautions Taken Against Out- rages—Thanksgivinge. The Jubllee. [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.| LospoNn, June 20.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bek.|—In western phrase, literally and not metaphorically, the town was painted red all the evening, positively 100,000 red fuses burning in the city, on the embankments and thorouch- fares, in the hands of immense masses of sight-seers, who obstructed everywhe vehicular traffic and the sidewalks, By day- light everywhere was to be seen to-day red cloth, principally from windows off the line of the procession. and on the balconies and plattorms along which it is to pass, Nearly all the myriad illuminations have been this evening rehearsed. London at 10 p. m, looked, from Primrose hill, St. John’s wood. a8 It between Victoria tower, parliament houses and St. Paul dome immense fires were consuming the shops and the mansions. ‘T'hese illuminations are, in many instances, costly and elaborate, but, to be frank, are conventional and commonplace. ‘I'he elec- tric light is not used. Hundreds of buildings reproduce the faded candle and oil lamp's glorles, In colors, clusters and alphabetical arrangements, which belonged to the old Cremorne gardens and the Vaux hall and Niblo’s gardens in your city at the time Vic- toria was crowned. American inventions and originality of design are largely lacking in the London illuminations. The mottoes are trite. Flags are displayed and grouped without taste. LONDONERS VERY UNEASY, ‘I'hat which ought to strike many foreign visitors who walk the professional thorough- fare is an appearance of London being in a state of seize, that Londoners are being pro- tected against themselves and disloyalty, against the possibilitles of felonized Watt Tylers and Jack Ca Along Piccadilly, St. James, Waterloo Place, etc., and even in the adjacent side streets, extra shutters, new fastenings and boarding—or, as called here, heardings—have been extensively erected. The shopk: ers have not forgotten the Sunday and Saturday orgies on the days last year when looting was coincident with, al- perhaps not the result of,realistic processions. Your reporters have found great symptoms of uneasiness among the people about the coming events of jubilee day. A GREAT JAM EXPECTED, At least 3,000,000 people will endeavor to sqneeze themselves into areas calculated to comfortably furnish standing or spectators’ room for less than 1,000,000. ‘T'he balconies meant for familles will be used by packed sight-seers. At least 500,000 have been paid for seats on Improvised stands and amphi- theaters hastily built of green wood. A BECTARIAN BENSATION, Some sensation was created at the abbey to-day by the return of tickets by all the Catholic peers, commoners and many guests of that faith. Several Irish guests have Joined the Parnellites in also withdrawing. THE CATHOLIC SERVICES, About halt of these absentees will be at a musical high mass at the cathedral at Ken- sington at 10 a. m. A covered canopy has been erected from High street to the front entrance, about fifty yards. 1 found the gorgeous sanctuary had been fitted with two thrones, the right one % be occupied by Monsignor Ruffs Scilla, envoy extraordinary from the pope to the queen, and the left one by Car- dinal Manning, who, surrounded by his can- ons and monsignors train, will be carried by the elght-year-old Lord Ohtagan, son of the late Irish lord chancellor. On the altar will b the Lord Bishop of Northampton, assisted by Rev. Lord Charles Thynne and the Lord Bishop of Amycla, assisted by Rev. M. Fan- ning. Among the congregation will be representatives of the principal Catholic families of England, headed by the Duke ot Norfolk, Marquis Butte, Earl of Denbigh, Lords North and Howard, etc., ete. After mass will be given an exposition of the blessed sacrament, at which a *“L'e Deum” will be sung. At the end of the service “‘God Save the Queen” will be given on the organ, the whole congregation standing, and while leaving “Cornation” march will be played. Rev. C, Coe, of the cathedral, informed your reporter that the whole service had been sub- mitted toher majesty, who approved. He added: *She expressed herself pleased to see her Catholic subjects coincidontly cele- brating the jubilee and thanksgiving at the same hour as the Protestant services, con- ducted In Westminster abbe; HOW WESTMINSTER ABBEY WILL, LOOK. American tourists familiar with the latter, orall having pictures .of its interior, can readily fancy how it will look to-morrow by mentally placing the royal dais in the center nave, between the poet's corner and oppo- site the entrance, while against the sides of all the naves wili be rising Ralleries, built from the floor, covered with red cloth, with seats twenty inches wide. From these a few only can soe well, but all can hear, provided there is no suffoca- tion, To American visitors at the abbey in past it would be absolutely unrecognizable. It looks as if the queen were going to lay the foundation stoue rather than take part in the solemn ceremounles within ithe walls. They have looked down upon historic scenes some six hundred years. For all that the abbey will have to do with the ceremonial the fqueen fmight as weil have had it performed in the main bullding of the American exhibition, and really spectators outside the abbey will to-day more graciously Allustrate the victorious era than those with- in it DISPARAGING COMMENTS. One who is an aristocratic tory, but an enemy to flunkyism, told me thus: **linagino to-morrow's scene as it wH! have to be handed down to posterity. The abbey Itself trans- formed portrays nobodies. Really great men will be conspicuous by their absence. Court flunkys of the major and minor sort of obscure members of parliament, their still more ob- seure wives, parliamentary clerks—these are the personages who will tigure as representa- tives of all that is characteristic of the Brit- 1sh nation in the jubilee year of Queen Vie- toria" A radical member of parliament is respon- sible for this comment: *“Probably the most painful fact in eonneetion with the jubilee fete is the bitter cry which arises frora num- bers of industricus workingwen who are striving hard to make two eunds meet and find themselves compelled to lose three or four days' work with its concomitant Pay. A poor remembrance of the jubilee it it consi in less food and increased worry. Even a brilllans state pageant will not compensate for this.” A gorgeous, poetic and realistic preacher 10 the London poor has just made the follow- lug remarks which, during the procession J-Rgurow, way doubticss well up fn 10,000 hearts: “The yards of sermons being preached just now, in which her majesty 18 buttered both sides be- cause she has been a good wife and mother, kept the commandments, she prayed, tor being a good woman, are quite right, but there are millions of good women in the world. There is nothing in the fact that the sovercign has done her duty in her home to go delirious with rapture about. I have looked in vain in these sermons for reference to her majesty’s constant neglect of her duties as a sovereign. To doone's duty in that state of life into which 1t shall please God to call us is generally conceived to be the important item in a Christian career, The state to which Victoria was called was that of queen. In that posi- tion she has of Iate years stolidly refused to do her duty. As a woman the queen Is above reproachi; as a queen she is open to the greatest censure.’” CLEVELAND'S CONGRATULATIONS, | Press|--The queen this afternoon recelved Phelps, United States Minister, at Bucking- ham palace tor the purpose of allowing him to prosent President Cleveland's jubilee con- gratulations. Iler ajesty expressed “her sense of the kind feeling always manifested toward her by the American people. Other diplomats carrying congratulations were re- ceived after the customary form. WATCHING FOR EXPLOSIONS, Scotland Yard officials have telegranhed instructions to Glasgow to watch the public buildings in that city to-night. CELERRATED IN THE PROVINCES. WELLINGTON, New Zealand, June 20.—To- day was observed as jubilee hollday through- out New Zealand. Enthusiasm prevails everywhere. The festivities last three days. PIETERMARITZBURG, Natsl, June 20.— Thanksgiving services were held to-day in honor of the queen’s jubilee. Praise From Austria. ViENNA, June 20.—The Official Gazette will to-morrow contain an article on the Jubilee of Queen Victoria, which will say: “Millions of voices throughout her world- wide emplre will extol the queenly, womanly virtues of Victoria. The day marks a long epoch In_the political welfare of her realm. "The whole world sympatiiizes with the festi- val, for the fame of” the queen’s blessed rule reaches every quarter of the globe. This sympathy is most cordially shared in by the Austrian ereign. The virtues of Victoria throuchout the whole of her life recall those of our own great empress, Maria Theresa. Both went through life showering blessings around, both revered by their people. The memory of Victoria, iike that of Maria The- u»“ will be blessed as long as history exists, England and Russia. St PE SBURG, June 20.—The Russian newspapers, commenting on QueenVictoria's jubilee, say the British people’s love for their queen Is merited by the internal reforms and Inprovements of the masses which have been effected in England during the fifty years of her rule. Some of the papers take oceasion to express regret that the relations between Russia and England are not better, and hove they will improve and the two nations be- come sincerely friendly. Cursings at Cork. CoRrxk, June 20.—Some houses in this elty were illuminated and decorated this evening in honor of the queen’s jubilee. The crowds mashed all the lighted windows, shouting “to hell with the queen,” and cheering for Parnell. The police, who were pelted with stones, charged and dispersed the mob. Great Enthusiasm at Valparaiso. VALPARAISO, (via Galveston), June 20,— Great enthusiasm is manifested by the Brit- ish residents here in celebration of the queen’s jubilee to-morrow. All English houses will close to-morrow. Boston's Celebration. BostoN, June 20.—Some time ago the council granted the use of Faneuil hall for a celebration 1n honor of Queen Victoria’s jubilee to-morrow night. This brought out a protest and petition to rescind the action. ‘The council considered the matter this after- noon and by a tic vote declined to change the order, but granted a permit for the use of the old hall to-night by those opposed to its oceu- pancy by Englishmen. Through some mistake the hall was not opened until 9 o’clock, when it was immedi- ately packed with r(‘n‘;ilp. Speeches were made by John Boyle O'Reilly and others de- nouncing the aldermen for allowing the nse of the building for such a purpose, and a committee was appointed to persuade the mayor, if possible, to cancel the permit for to-morrow night. Chicago Jubilee Banquer. CricAco, June 20.—A notable gathering of over two hundred of Chicago’s most prom- inent merchants, lawyers, journalists, poli- ticians and divines assembled to-night at a banquet in honor of Queen Victoria’s jubilee. Throughout the eveninik music and addresses alternated between loyal praises of Engzland and her queen, and outbursts of patriotic Americun sentiments, An ng the many speakers were: Ex-United States Senator Doolittle, Lieutenant-Governor Smith, t Iilinois, Mayor Roche, J. V. F; Cary, General Beein, Chicago. e A Girl at the Head. (Copyricht 1587 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoNDON, June 20.—(New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bek.]—The Vassar- itesand women students at Cornell, with the **Hall Columbia™ bacheloresses of arts and all other feminine students in America, have a jubilee trophy in the rank, given to-day at Cambridge in the classical course to a girl, Miss Agnata Ramsey. She has beaten al! the male students in the clussics, being the only one of either sex to pass in the tirst division. What is additionally remarkable is that her father, Sir James Ramsey, a Scotch baronet, and her uncle, Prof. George Ramsey, of Gilas- gow university, each obtained first class in the classies when they took degrees at Ox- ford. Miss Ramsey has just reached twenty years, and several of her male competitors were older. Her proficiency in latin or Greek was equal. Her male contestants were gallant enough to cheer her name on the list when it was put up, and doubtless they are wondering if she will continue pro- ticient in construing Ovid's *'Art of Love.” ———— Frenchmen Very Indignant. Paris, June 20.—The DParis newspapers express indignation over the sentences de- creed at Leipsic against the Alsatian member of the Patriotic league convicted of hich treason for assisting in the agitation to keep alive anti-Annexation feeling in Alsace-Lor- raine. The members of the league have signed an appeal to President Grevy begeing nim to intervene for the release of Koechlin, 1t is not thought probable that Grevy will ac- cede. —— Steamship Arrivals, GLASGOW, June20.—[Special Tele:ram to the Bee.|—Arrived—The State of Nevada, from New York, PHILADELPHIA, June 20.—Arrived—The Lord Gough. from Liverpool, UEENSTOWN, June 20.—Arrnved—The City of Chester, from New York.

SECRETARY WHITNEY PUZZLED. The Belief Gaining Ground That Lamar Will Succeed Justice Woods On the Supreme Bench—National News. The Nation's Naval Trophies. WasuiNgToN, June 20.—[Special Tele- gram to the Brk.]—Popular attention having been directed to the captured fiags in the custody of the war department, there has been some inquiry concerning the disposal of the flags eaptured during the rebeilion by the United States navy. The proposed re- turn of the banners eaptured in the field sug- gested a return of those taken on the water, and Secretary Whitney was called upon to- day for some information as to their where- abouts, ‘The democratic secretary of the navy was rather nonplussed and after consid- ering a while he confessed that he knew nothing about them, He added, however, with a smile that one thing was certain, he had given no order for their return to their former owners. ‘The question asked the secretary was thep put in succession to each of the bureau officials in the navy depart- ment until the startiing fact was developed that not one on duty then present had the slightest idea of their where- abouts. [t was suggested by the chief clerk that three rebel naval flags might be in the naval academy at Annapolis, but Prof, Salay, of the naval department, in charge ot the war records of the navy, who has written a history of the naval academy, stated posi- tively that they were not at Annapolis. The flags there, he stated, wore those captured during the revolution and the war of 1812,but to his knowledie there were no rebel colors. This is a strange discovery and a most em- barrassing one for all concerned, and when the seriousness of the situation was tinally realized the only idea that occurred to the oftieials was that probably some of the repub- lican e: etard ight know where the flags were stored. The law of 15%4 for the rn-s‘t‘rvl\lll)n and exhibition of captured flags s the same for the navy as for the war de- partment, and there is considerable con- sternation in ofticial clreles over the new complication to the affair by the inquiries set on oot to-day. The Supreme Court Vacancy. WASHINGTO! June 20.—|Special Tele- gram to the |=There is a growing be- lief that the vacancy on the supreme court bench made by the death of Justice Woods will be filled by the appointinent of Seeretary Lamar. That gentleman says, however, that he has knowledge of the Intentionsof the president in the matter and that he has never been snoken to on the subject. It is believed that the president does not intend to fill the vacancy just yet. There is no cause tor, haste and he will probably wait until just before the time for the meeting of the court In thg autumn, The president is averse to uttfig any “dead timber” on the supremo ench. He wants to make the very best se- lection possible, and as the appointiment is awarded to the south, and it is’ known that the president regards Secretary Lamar as the greatest representative of that section, there is reason to believe he will make the appoint- ment. The indications are that Secretury Lamar will accept the position, though he has reasons to believe that as long as he lives he can get any honor within the gift of the people of Misaissippl. It is believed by many of his friends that a place on the suprcmne bench would just suit him. Military Matters, WasuiNaToN,June 20 —[Special Telegram to the Bee.|—"The following army ofticers undergoing instruetions in torpedo service, will be relieved from duty at Willett'’s Point July 1: First Lieutenant V.

GTON, June 20.—[Speelal Telegram ‘The story published In New York to the effect that some one proposes to exhibit the ““head of the Assassin Guiteau,” caused some comment here to-day, and led to a number of inquiries as to the disposition of the remains of the murderer. The body of Guiteau was taken tov the army medical museum after the execution and placed in the hands of Dr. Schaffert, who was at the time the anatomist of the museum. He re- moved the soft parts of the body, and all the bones and also the brain are now at the museum, tiough not on public exhibition, and never have been. It was supposed that all the soft parts of the body were burned, as Is the usual course at the museum when a bodv is prepared for articulation, The mu- seum authorities do not know whether the sott parts were destroyed or not. They say that it is very possible that instead of destroy- ing the muscies and flesh of the head and neck after it was taken from the bones it might have been preserved and set up, and that is probably what isreferred to. But the skeleton of Guiteau complete, head and all, 18 now in the museun. Dr. Lamb, who per - formed the autopsy on Guiteau’s body, said to-day: *‘l haven't the least doubt this thing n New York is Guiteau’s head. 1t is genu- ine. Mr. Shaffert, the museum anatomist, doubtless preserved the scalp and face of the assassin, with the hair and beard undis- turbed, placed them in aleohol, and when he got a wood chance sola the thing. He left the museum over two years ago.” Endicott and the Flags, WASHINGTON, June 20.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bre.|—Secretary Endicott turned up at the war department this morn- ing, very dignified and wise looking., The flag episode had evidently made a solemn impression on the great man’s mind and when he was asked what he wanted to say on the subject he coldly replied that he knew nothing of the matter beyond that he had read in the newspapers, ~ It being suggested that if he bad read them all he must know a wod deal, the warrior looked unutterable }fll]n‘xffl at his interviewer and froze into si- ———— Amalgamated Association Rules.

Lbe contoredce beglns -momrow, THE PETER DROY PLOT. How Queen Vic's Jubilee Pudding was Spolled by Fireworks. NEW YORK, June 20.—[Special Telegram to the Ber.|—Two dollars’ worth of fire- crackers, pinwheelg and penny Roman can- dles bought at one of the Park Place fire- works shops, has convulsed the British em- pire and a good part of the rest of the world, shaking Victoria on her throne and spoiling thetaste of her jubilee pudding. All this was not the result of any careful preparation by a tireworks company anxious for a fine “ad,” but was partly patriotic affection in the heart of a Monroe street, New York, mother and partly spontaneous combustion on the part of British detectives. These fireworks were never intended to tickle anything big- ger than the fifteen-year-old heart of Willie Musgrave, and their sound to echo further than the home of Willie’s uncle, where he will be spending his vacation from Mount Millery seminary, County Waterford, after July 1. Peter Troy is a young man who has ives in County Tipperary, who are also of Miss Helen Musgrave, of i6 Munroe street, in this city. Peter was going to vigit his relatives and just before starting, called on A Musgrave to tell them of his trip. 1t was suggested that the opportunity wold be a good one to send to young Willie some American tireworks with which to cele- brate the Fourth, Mr, Troy was willing to be the messenger, and $2 was forthwith in- vested 1n roman candles. vinwheels, and fire crackers, which were packed in a little soan box with an old pair of trousers wrapped around them to keepthem from being acci- dentally ~set off. Two notes were also put into the box, one to the Tipperaty relatives and 'the other to the “little fellow,” telling him that next time they’d send him more but that those would have to do for the present. The box was sent to the steamer dock, addressed to Mr. Troy and nothing more was thought of it until the cable dispatches announced that a terrible dynamite Plnl. had been discovered, and an American, Peter Troy, landing from the Adriatic had been arrested with the ex- vlosives. In the house on Monroe street yesterday there was unalloyed merriment over the affair, a merriment which prob- ably is not shared by poor —Mr Troy, presumably sweltering in & Queenstown dungeon until the ‘“ex- verts” who, itis announced, have - been summoned to investizate the “‘infernal ma- chines,” have operated on the penny Roman candles and amputated the tire crackers, and submitted the pin wheels to chemical tests. The most unfortunate part of the at- fair. however, is that little Willie Musgrave will probably have to do without his Kourth of July and County 'Tipperary without its two dollar illumination on the glorions anni- versary, unless Victoria sees fit to give Wil- lie some of the fireworks left over from the jubilee, to make un for those her vigilant and perspieuous zuardians have confiscated . QUEENSTOWN, June 20,—Peter Troy, ar- rested on suspicion of having exvlosives in his baggage. has been remanded for threo days.
