Alter the service at St. Paul’s the colonial forces stood while the Queen and the royal pro- cession passed in front of them, and then the colonisis formed the rear guard on the return route. The tramp, tramp of the peovle from strange lands which yet are British territory filled the millions of onlookers with great prideina pos- session not felt before. The colonial Premiers were visibly impressed with the eager enthusiasm of the crowds. In the West End fashionable clubland or among the busy South Side artisans all were equally conscious of the last eighteen months of dis- illusionment regardiug foreign alliances. Therefore, to-day they felt their only allies were the colonists—their fellow-subjects. Their wel- come to the Queen was of loyalty, affection and veneration. FESTIVAL OF THE PEOPLE AT NIGHT. Brilliancy of Parisian Boulevards Eclipsed by the Myriads of Lights and Beautiful Decorations. LONDON, Exg., June 22—To-night the festival became the people’s own and was celebrated as never belore on these islands. Oddly enough it took on a distinctly Parisian phase. Confetti was used for the first time in London and at midnight the streets were covered. The Btrand, from Wellington street to Pall Mall, was literally trans- formed into a Paris boulevard. The masts supporting the arches of the colored electric lights, which was the chief feature of the illumination of the Boulevard Capucines at the Czar's fete last October, were erected on the Strand, changing that sordid thoroughfsre into a dazzling arcade. The illumination as & whole was not creditable from an artistic point of view, although there were a few splendid exceptions. The general idea in the private displays was shown to be loyalty measured by the cubic feet of gas consumed, no matter how. What was expected to be the finest display of all wasa failure, be- cause of some defect in the electric apparatus. This was the illumina- tion of Bt. James street. The heavy garlands, which made the street a wonderful arcade by day, were to be iiluminated with 30,000 electric lights, which were expected to produce a matchless fairy bower at night. The Princess of Wales was to come from Mariborough House to turn on the light at dusk, but the lamps remained dark. Clubs in the vicinity largely made up for the disappointment, the whole section being as bright as day- The Lord Mayor's official residence stood out grandly, with pillars entwined with jets of fire. Its principal attraction was a mighty crown encircled by even a larger laurel wreath. The latter was green, wbile the flickering gas gave the crown the appearance of flashing goms. On either side were the letters V. K.,”” huge and dazzling. Directly above were the words in capitals, od Bless Our Queen.’’ Still higher up shone a great gas sun on the summit of the building, with a dozen blazing beacons, The Liverpool-Globe insurance building was crowned all along the top of the facade with golden stars. Beneath them were the crown and royal letters “V. R.” Along the whole front of the Bank of England was succession of brilliant lines with royal emblazonings in the center. But the greatest triumpl of the illuminator's art was the St. Paul’s Cathedral. Its grand dome towering above all else glowed with wonder- ful incandescence. Itgave forth no light of its own, but concentrated upon it were the rays of no less than forty powerful searchlights, each at a diff rent angle. The effect was indescribably beautiful. But as in the daytime the spectators were the real spectacle. Not a vehicle of any description was allowed on the streets, which were given 10 the strolling miilions. There was an occasional policeman in the middle of the thoroughfarcs to keep the great throng moving in two streams in opposite directions. The popular procession went on for hours. Before midnight ail were singing *‘God Save the Queen'’ alter- nately with one after another of the latest musical airs. ZEESLGh T Hoisted the Black Flag. LIMERICK, IRELAND, June 22.—A number of monuments in this city were to-day draped In black and black flags were displayed on the resi- dences of many Nationalists. One black flaz was hoisted on the siaff on the Rock of Shannon, near the Castle Barracks, but a soldier belonging to the Royal liish Regiment iowered himself by a rops, swam to the rock and removed the flag. —_——— Only Three Cases of Serious Injury. LONDON, Ex 5., June 2—The ambulance report for to-day shows only three cases of serious injary. A policeman was thrown from his horse and sev-rely hurt. Genersl Lord Howe was thrown from his horue at Hydo Park corner and badly hurt. Few accidents happened be- fore 10 o’ciock. The worst took place at Hammersmith, wherean old wall fell down, carrying its living burden with it, while some of the soldiers were passing. None in the crowd were hurt, but a trcoper’s horse fels, Its rider was taken to the hospital. The man’s ankle was broken. CHORUS OF PLEASURE OF THE PRESS. English Newspapers Unite in Their Enthusiastic Comment on the Glories of the Wonderful Demonstrations. LONDON, Exa., June 22.—To-night a state banquet was given at Buckingham Palace, the Queen attending. The press gives voice in a unanimous chorus of pleasure. The Daily News says: London never saw such a sight in its whole history. There is probably not another soversign in Europe who could count on such a reception. The Standard says: All the glories and all interests of the realm seemed 10 have reached their culmination. Perbaps the triumph around the wails of Rome when a consul drove back to the capital after a victorious campaign would ba the nearest approach to it. The Chronicle says: It was an empire parade and oneof which all the uncounted millions whose peace and freedom are guarded by the English flag may well be proud. We have hundreds of faults. As makers of the empire we were insolent, masterful and aloof, but we at least have done what the worid has never sesn be:ore, The Morning Post writes editorially in a similar strain. It bewails the fact that the average Briton has the most inadequate conception of what a great thing it is to be able to use that name. The Daily Telegraph savs imperial unity was incarnate, and adds that the events of which the rejoicings were a giorious crown have hasten: the hour for the adoption of a practical scheme of imperial federation. The Times says if the procession reminded those who may have for- gotten the unexbauste.,virtually inexhaustible resources of the empire, it has not less clearly proved that the monarchy now rests on broader, firmer foundations than in any {ormer period of the history of En,land. ALL BRITISH SUBJECTS CELEBRATE. In Every Town in Great Britain and at Embassies, Legations and Consulates Abroad Due Hom- age Is Paid the Popular Sovere gn. LONDON, Exa., June 22. irtually every town in Great Britain had its own celebration. Mr. ana Mrs. Gladstone feasted the aged poor in Hawarden. The grand old maa made an impressive littls speech in sim- ple terms, describing the Queen’s reign which, he said, was perhaps the bappiest ever known. He added: *Iu her fidelity in the discharge of a great office and in the great pattern of character she exhibited the Queen has laid down what may in many respects be a model to every man, woman and child of her domains.” Gladstone distributed jubilee medals to the children present. Bonfires were ignited concurrently to-nipht upon the heights of Great Britain and Ulster, Iretand, and burned for hours. Telegrams received from all parts of the empire record naval and military parades, receptions and religious services in honor of the day. Embassies, levationa and consulates abroad commemorated the jubilee in various ways. Various sovereigns sent representatives to the British embassies to convey congratulations. Emperor Francis Joseph, wearing the aniform of the British regiment of which he is honorary colonel, vis- ited the British Ewba-sador. Toe Italian Parliament voted congratulations to the Queen. S Sl Protection of the Sultan’ Representative, LONDON, Exa., June 22.—Every detail of the royal procession, in- cluding the place assigned each dignitary from abroad, was announced in advance save one. The official programme carefuily ignored all mention of Munir Pasha, envoy extraordinary of the Suitan. This wasa wise pre- caution taken by the authorities in order to prevent a hostile demonstration. Comments of the crowd at many points along the route when the carriages of the diplomatic corps were pass- ing indicated disappointment because they were unable to recognize the Sultan’s representative, for there were several Orientals who might have been he. SR N AMERICANS SPEAK IN PRAISE. Embassadors Hay and Reid, and Chauneey M. Depew Express Their Gratifcation of the Grand Spectacle Presented. LONDON, Exc., June 22.—American Embassador Hay said to-day that everything had been done by the British Govern- ment to show its appreciation of the sentiment which prompted President McKinley to send a special embassy to the jubilee. “Personally,”” Hay said, “I am highly gratified by their reception, and also of mine to-day. Everything was done to treat the special embassy well. The procession as a pictorial pageant was certainly one of the most wonderful things seen in modern times; both for the brilliancy and marvelous organi- zation which carried it through without accident.” Whitelaw Reid, special embassador, through Secretary ‘Webb, expressed delight with the reception accorded the em- bassy. He said he regarded the jubilee as an enormous suc- cess, and he was aelighted especially with the hearty cheers which greeted the embassy near Buckingham Palace. In other respects the embassy was treated especially well. He was arous=d by the delightful enthusiasm ot the masses. Chauncey M. Depew saia his first thought was that it more than equaled every expectation. *It was tremendously impressive,”’ he said, “'to see representatives of every quarter of the globe march past you in an hour under one tlag, presenting racial and religious differences of their widely separated homes as di-tinetly as if you had seen them 1n a year’s tour round the world. I was ciose to the Queen. I saw her eyes suffused with tears. It was the wonderful combination of monarch and woman which has made her sixty years' reign so phenomenal. Her appearance and surroundings seemed to recall and empha- size the marvelous progress and growth of Great Britain during her reign.” — - Celebrations on the Coast. LOS ANGELES, CAL., June 22.—The Eaglish men and women of Los Angeles and vicinity celebrated tne Victoria dia- mond jubilee to-doy by going to Santa Monica, and there either witnessing or participating in a varied programme of sports. Trains ran loaded to the full capacity ali day, and a great crowd, estimated at 7000 or 8000, collected in Athletic Park at the seaside resort. The sports lasted all day, and were interesting enough to sustain the enthusiasm that marked the opening of the cele- bration. The sports opened with a ericket match, beginning at 9:30 A. M. and consuming the entire forenoon. The heavy contests were waged vrincipally between the Thistle Club and Sonsof St. George, honors being about even. Various prizes were awarded to victorious contestants. The field sports proper began at 1:30 o’clock and included bicycle races, foot races, walking races, throwing the hammer, tossing the caber, running high jump and other events, includ- ing Highland dancing in costumes. No world’s records were broken in any of the contests, but the occasion was marked throughout by good fellowship and jolly fun, Not the least interesting events of the day were the races and other contests participated in by the women, many of them displaying greas athletic proficiency. REDDING, CAr., June 22.—The Queen’s jubilee was cele- brated in a gorgeous manner at Keswick, the site of the Moun- tain Copper Company’s smelter, to-day. The smelter staff ar- ranged a splendid programme and invited numerous guests to celebrate with them. Cricket was the chief feature and a splen- dia game was played between the Keswick team and a picked eleven. CUBANS BESIEGE PUERTO PRISCIPE With Supplies Cut Off the Garrison Is Starving.

HAVANA, Cusa, June 22.—General Garcia is in camp near Ciego de Aviis, province of Puerto Principe, with 8000 men awaiting orders from General Gomez to attack the Jucaro Moron trocha on the east side in case the commander-in-chiet desires to pass into Puerto Principe again.

Native Overseers Sell at Auction Supplles Sent for Free Distribution. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 22.—Robert P. Wilbur, an American Presbyterian missionary from Peona, Indis, has just arrived in New York. In an interview he said: “The piague is abating in India, but the famine is at 1ts height. The plague has been in Peona in proportion to its size as in Bombay, where 11,000 have died, but it is lessening. It moves in a line, like a cyclone, azd was traveling northwest when I left in March. the people in a city through which the plague passes will get 1t unless they are in the plague belt, or some one who has taken the malady carries it across to an- other quarter. It originated, no one knows Low, in a house in Bombay on a wide street. The conditions of the build- ing were far more sanitary than thou- sands of others. A Calcutta doctor who looked at it said: ‘Well, if the plague can rtin a bouse like that, what will it do when it strikes Calcutta?' “One cause of th: spread of the disease | among the natives is said to be their prac- tice of walking barefooted. Even insecis transmit it, A triend of mine entered a house where a plague patient had died to get some of the soil for analysis. The Government officials refused to let him bave it.

Some have thought that the cause of the plague was the puatting on the market of grain twenly years old. “The Government made & great mistake in not beginning their sid earlier. The trouble is with the native overseers, who rob the people frightiully. They are paid in proportion to the number of people they feed, and mix earth in the grain to make their supply go a longer way. I know of one man wio ot grain to dis- tribute free and sold it at auction. “The people are mere skelotons, living on roots and grass. Their troubles have bred ueer ideas in them. Some of them think ueen Victoria has sent the plague in re- venge for the daubing of her statue in Bombay. Many of them refuse to go to the Segregation Hospital because they think it is the intention of the Govern- ment to put them out of the way when it gets them there. In some cases they have actuaily shut up their houses with dead bodies in them, and searching parties h: been organized 1o unearth tne corpses.

He succeeded in | Loud and Representative Hilborn to in- | Fuhey was shot and | Citati n Issu d for H'r and for Har- vey Ga cia, a Married Man, to | Bring the Child Into Court. | Three weeks ago the wife of Frank | Meyer left him not to return, and sent | word back that so long as he treated their | little girl, Bertha, properly she would | allow bim to keep her. | Meyer is a steady-going workingman, a | | baker, employed at Cohen’s baker-stop on Fourth street, near Howard. His wife took employment with a barber named Harry Garcia, who keeps a shop on Fourth street, about opposite where her husband isemployed. All day she would be seen in the window of the barber-shop where she served as a sort of cashier. Meyer, after being deserted and having mede up his mind not to worry over- much about it, but to be content with the possession of his little girl, moved from | the apariments he had occupied with his | wife and took rooms at 759 Harrison street, | where he now resides. On Sunday he | went out for a walk, taking the child with him, and visited his old apartments to learn if there was any mail for him there. Having no fear about the child he allowed her to go- downstairs alone, presumably 10 scek her former playmates. When e went to tind her she had disappeared, and bis persistent search has since failed to discover her whereabouts. Yesterday, through a friend, he stated his case to Secretary Parnell of the Cali- fornia Society for the Preveniion of Cruelty to Children, and through him the matter was taken to court and a citation was is- sued not only to the wite, Katie Meyer, but to the barber, Harvey Garcia, to ap- pear and explain the whereabouts of the d or to produce h-r in court. When the officerscame to serve the citation they did not find Mrs. Meyer at Ler post in the barber-shop, nor had she been at her rooms at 7376 Howard street. To Meyer this was conclusive evidence that it was his wife who was responsible for the disappear- ance of the cuild. He believed that she was watching him on Sunday and, taking advantage of the opportunity offered while the child was out of his sight, car- ried her off. Meyer's story is to the effect that his wife has become infatnated with Garcia and that it was his influence over her that caused her to leave him. Garcia isa mar- | ried man and bis wife lives with him in | | rooms at ihe rear of the barber-shop. It | sad the advent ot Mrs. Meyer into the | | barber-shop as cashier caused nearly as great a disturbance in the Garcia house- | hold as did thai of Garcia in the house of | | Meyer. ror Garciz, previous to the disap- | pearance of Mrs. Mever, was a frequent | culler there, according 1 Mever and his wife's mother, who lived with them and who made bitter complaint against them. Garcia declares he knows nothing about the Meyer child, but the officers ciaim to be on the track of both mother and child. ———————— Perkine Tackl, Knotty Subject. WASHINGTON, D. C..
