Never Before Have Such Scenes of Enthusiasm Been Witnessed. LOYAL SUBJECTS CHEER THE HONOGRED QUEEN. Parllament Adopts an Address of Congratulations, but the Irish Members Protest. LONDON, Exc., June 22—4:30 A. M.— Jubilee morning has dawned, not with cloudless skies, but warm and with fair hopes of Queen’s weather after the sun is a little higher. The streets, even at this early hour, are already more crowded than is usnal at midday. Indeed they have been throneed all night. Atthe present moment long streams of vehicles are slowly passing over the route to be followed to-day the royal proces- sion, which is crowded to the utmost with country people. Groups are stretched fort on the sidewalks j off the main route, sleeping peacefully despite noise and confusion about them. Many people of the better class are already making their way to points of vantage from which they will view the procession. Altogether the sight is strange and un- precedented and from it it is now easy to calculate the vastness of the crowd which later will pack every foot of ground along the route the Queen will traverse. in apparent com- i LOYALTY EVERYWHERE. Creat Manifestations of Public En~ thuslasm During the Queen’s Journey From Windsor. LONDON, Exc., June 2L.—The Queen, sccompanied by the Empress Frederick and Princesses Beatrice and Christian, errived at Paddington from Windsor at 30 ». ». When the saloon train with the Queen aboard entered the crowded station every head was bared in silence for a moment, then there was cheering for several minutes. The Queen walked slowly up the gently sloping trestle, leaning with her right hand upon & solid walking-stick which lad belonged to Charles I, her left arm resting upon an Indian servant. Tuiswas the signal for the outburst of loud cheer- ing. Princess Beatrice raised her mother’s veil, disclosing the smiling face of the sovereign. Her Majesty was waited upon at the station by the Paddington vestry, who presented au ad iress of congratula- tion. When the Queen received the ad- dress Princess Christian handed her Majesty’s reply, in manuscript, to the Queen, who passed it over to the Vicar- Abbot of Paddington. The Queen did not speak herself. Her Majesty’s reply to the address consisted of an expression of thanks and good wisbes and referance to the charities in which the late Prince Consort took a deep interest. The Queen and party then entered an open carriage drawn by four horses with postilions and outrigers and were driven to Buckingham Palace, escorted by the Life Guards. The pavements, balconies and windows were packed with sight- seers, Who weicomed the sovereign royally. The vast space fronting Buckingham Palace was filled with people of all classes, and the outburst of loyalty which mani- fested itself in deafening cheers as the royal carriage sed was the most spon- taneous ever witnessed in London. The Queen acknowledged the tribute by bow- ing and iling, and her daughters re- turned the salutes of the people with great animation. The royal standard was hoisted over Buckingham Palace immediately upon the arrival of the Queen, amid the deafen- ing cheers of enormous crowds. The Queen remained in the palace gardens resting herself until time to prepare for the state banguet at night. L s G N KIND WORD 5 FORVICTORIA. Relgn of the Queen Marked by the Natlonal Growth of Peace and Prospority. LONDON, Ex6., June 2L.—In the House of Lords this afternoon Salisbury, in mov- ing the address of congratulations to the Queen, said there had been reigns in English history almost as long, but none bad been so marked by the national growth of peace and prosperity. “:At the close of her reign,”’ he said, ‘‘the attachment and a-votion of ber subjects is greater than at the commencement. Not only has hers been a long reign, but an illustrious one. The extension of the colonial empire ias been almost phenom- enal. Tbe empire of India has been ex- tended, and various races which were at war with each otber for centuries have become peaceful and rre fast becoming homogeneous. The Queen began her reign early in youth undcer the guidance of a great and good man, the Prince Con- sort, and in spite of many adverse circum- stances the empire is not only more pow- erful and wealthy, but richer in love and admiration of its iilustrious sovereign.” Balisbury then bore testimony as a Min- the | | leased upward of 1000 political prisoners THE GRA ND FINAL TABLEAU AT THE CHUTES. ister to the Queen’s devotion to public | usiness, and concluded by expressing an | earnest prayer that her Majesty’s life and reign be pro'onged many years. The Ear!of Kimberley, who was Minister | of Foreign Affairsin the Rosebery Cabi- | net, seconded the motion, and said never | before had there been a sovereign so im- | partial of state or so capable of giving wise | and good counsel in state affairs. | Ministers changed, he said, but the | Sovereign was permanent, and she had thus obtained a ripenes< of judgment and knowledge of affairs that would be im pos- sible for a Minister to acquire. No sub- ject, he said, had more sound sense of the Queen’s public duty than her Majesty her- | self. In the House of Commons Balfour moved a similar address. Harcourt, leader of the opposition, sec- | onded the motion declaring it was the heart of the nation more than its pride that spoke to-day. John Dillon, leaderof the Irish Nation- alist party, protested against the address, contending that Ireland has receded in- | stead of progressing during the reign. | In the early part of Dillon’s speecha | number of ministerial members rose con- | certedly and left the house awmid angry | jeers from Irish members. Dilion made a | very eloquent address, in the course of | which he said: ““We should ill represent the vast mass of the Irish nation if we abstained from honestly telling the House and her Ma- jesty that her Irish subjects don’t rejoice upon this occasion.” Adducing reasons for the abstention of the Inish from participation in the jubiiee, Dilion said the taxatiou per head in Great Britain had been reduced half wkile the poptlation had been doubled, but in Ire- land taxation bad been doubled and the | population reduced half. The popular liberties of Great Britain and the colonies nad steadily increased, while in Ireiand they had been steadily denied. Some 10,000 persons in Ireland had been putin jail for political offenses and several haa been cruelly exscuted under pretext ot law. Ten of thousands of others there had been cruelly evicted. “We asked you to release npon the oc- casion of tue jubilee,” he continued, *‘a few prisoners, to mitizate the bitterness | of the anger of the Irish people, but you | refused, although the Czar of Russia re- | | | | | on the occasion of his coronation.

Now we are asked to rejoice at | siXty years of degradation and ruin of our country, and lick the hand thatchastened us. Doubtless you have power if you choose to continue to deny Ireland the rights you give Canada and Australis, but what you cannot do is to drag us to rejoice behind the wheels of a triumphal chariot. You may forcibly hold us down and keep us plunged in poverty, but your coercion acts will never conquer the hearts of the Irish nor meke them join your rejoicing. [Enthusiastic lrish | cheers.] Coionel Saunderson, leader of the Irish Conservative:, denounced Dilion’s asser- tions as a libel upon Ireland. Jotin Redmond, Parnellite leader, moved an amendment calling attention 1o the depopulation of lreland and the poverty prevailing there. Redmond said in part: “aMucki as I personally dislike uttering | any jarring noites which some of our | friends in Ireland may regard ungracious | and ill-timed I feel bound, in the interest | of truth 1o say here that while your em- pire is engaged in jubilation, proud, pros- perous and free—Ireland stands at your door in poverty aud subjection, sulien and James O'Kelly (Parnellite) in support of Redmond’s amendment, which deciared Ireland was disaffected, said: “It may be & little matter to you that the Irish don’t share your rejoicings, but our action means more than appears on the surfece.

List of the Lucky Subjects Upon Whom the Queen Has Con- ferred New Titie LONDON, ExG., June 2L—The list of those receiving jubilee honors is shorter than expected. The titles conferred by the Queen are very few, the bulk of the honors consisting of the orders of Bath and St. Michael and Si. George.

Searching for something new to confer on the Prince of Wales the officials have evolved the title of Grand Master and Principal Kunight Grand Cross of the Or- | der of Bath. The Duke of Connaught, third son of the Queen, has been appointed colonel-in- chief of the luniskillen Dragoons. Prince Bdward of Saxe- W vimar Lias been made field marshal of thg British army.

Of the 150 new privy councilorships, ten are conferred upon residents of the colo- nies, which is significant of the imperial feaeration idea in connection with the jubilee. Among the recipients of the honor are Laurier, Premier of Canada; Sir William Whiteway, Premier of New- foundlend; the Prime Ministers of all the Australian colonies, and Sir Gordon Sprigg, Premier of Cape Colony.

Gayety and merriment prevailed from noon to midnight and after at the Chutes.

So by day and night the demonstration went on. So, in the early hours of the morning, the celebration is still going on, and the end is not yet—nor after three days’ festivities here in San Francisco, on the opposite side of the world from the great center of the universal jubilee, A muititude thronged the Chutes yes- terday upon the occasion of the third day of the local Victoria jubilee celebration.

When the crowd had filed into the Casino Charies W. Pope, chairman of the literary com- mittee, opened the exercises with a few brief remarks. He spoke in part as fol- lows: Ladies and Gentlemen: We are gathered here on an auspicious oceasion to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the gentle reign of our good old Queen.

The orator of the day, Rev. Josiah Sims of Nevada, was uext introduced. In the course of an e.oquent address, frequently intercupted by loud applause, he said: To the Anglo-Saxon race, this historic ocea- sion is a gals day of inexpressible interest ana delight.
