ter Of the quadrangle. Shortly aftei
ward the queen's superb ceach arrive!
and It had hardly come to a standsti
when the landaus with the ladles an
lords In waiting and the princesaes wer
in their allotted positions. All the la
dies wore light toilettes of blue lace an
pink, the latest Parisian' dainties. The
the envoys* landaus started. Th
princes next mounted their horse* an
ranged themselves in groups of three.
The carriage of the Empress Fred
crick of Germany waited until the other
had gone, while the Duke of Cambridg
chatted with her highness. In the mean
while a platoon of the royal servant
lined up on each side of the great door
on an Inclined "platform from the door
to the place to be occupied by th'
Queen's coach, which was placed in po
si tion and carefully tested by a Scotcl
gillie.
After a momentary wait a hoarse roa:
of cheers, started by the royal authen
played by the band outside, announcer
the arrival of the prince and princess o:
Wales. The prince wore the uniform o:
a field marshal, and the princess was
dressed in pale lilac, and wore a lilac
bonnet with white feathers.
At 11:11 a. m. a bustle on the malr
staircase announces the coming of he:
majesty. Queen Victoria slowly de
scended the stairs, assisted by a scarlet
clad and white turbaned Indian attend
ant. She was dressed in black, wore a
black bonnet trimmed with white and
carried a white sunshade. At the foot
of the stairway her majesty paused for
a moment and touched an electric but
ton connected with all the telegraphic
systems throughout the British empire,
and it flashed around the world the
message:
"From my heart, I thank my beloved
people. May God bless them."
Her majesty then seated herself In
her carriage, the royal trumpeters
sounded a fanfare, the princess of
Wales Joined the queen and Princess
Christian of Schleswig-Heidele joined
the party. The princesses seated them
selves opposite her majesty, and at 11:12
the queen's coach started. Two gillies
In Highland costume, wearing the tar
tan of Macdonald of the Isles, the so
called crown prince of Scotland, occu
pied the rumble.
As her majesty emerged from the por
tico the sun broke brilliantly through
the clouds and the queen raised her sun
shade.
The minor royalties next dropped in,
followed by richly-caparisoned steeds
Intended for the use of the princes. The
arrival of the princes who were to take
part in the escort formed a splendid pic
ture. The quaint-looking crown prince
of Montenegro, with black, glossy hair
under a dull crimson cap, and wearing
a crimson jacket heavily embroidered
with gold and with short pale-blue
i skirts, was greeted by the German
princes, who were in fine uniforms, evi
dently donned for the first time.
THE DAiT BEGINS
LONDON, June 22.—The last stroke of
12 had not died away In the midnight air
when from a hundred metropolitan
eteples a tumultuous peal of bells an
nounced the diamond jubilee day. The
vast crowd that filled the miles of streets
and squares answered, with ringing
cheers and here and there the singing
'of "God Save the Queen."
The crowds that peopled the streets
and squares all night in the hope of a
good view of the procession today were
amazing in their sublime patience.
Waiting for twelve, fourteen and six
teen hours, as many of these people are
doing, Jammed together, is a feat of
endurance that could only be sustained
by some overmastering desire. Quite
half of these Jubilee waiters were wo
men, many of them with the pale, care
worn look of London women, yet all
enduring the back-breaking tediousness
with the utmost good nature. Some had
camp stools, some sat on projecting
buildings, on curb stones or leaned in
doorways and the angles made by
stands. Refreshments were in order
everywhere and the police had little
trouble, cheery good humor being the
note of the night. During the long hours
snatches of song and occasional bursts
of cheering showed that the people were
determined to enjoy the festival of pa
triotism and loyalty to the utmost. A
clear, starlit sky and cool air kept the
spirits of the crowd at the topmost point
throughout the vigil. With the dawn
the hope of the Queen's weather merged
into certainty and the world here pre
pared itself in fullest confidence for a
day of pleasure.
The earliest active indications of the
great event —apart from the people
awaiting it—was shortly before 6
o'clock, the arrival of vestry carte to
freshly gravel the roadways after the
fashion which prevailed in the good old
' days of Sam Pepys. Then, a little later,
the inevitable precusor of any proces
sion, the police, began to arrive in great
numbers, S,OOO being distributed along
the line of march. The streets on the
north side of the Thames were closed to
ordinary vehicles and traffic at 7:30; on
the south eide at 8 a. m. London Bridge
had been closed to all traflic at rnidnisht
and Westminster Bridge and other
bridges at 5 this morning, at which hour
all persons were removed from West
minster and London bridges.
The first great difficulty of the police
was assisting owners of seals on stands
and houses to get to them, they being
permitted to drive to them up to 10
o'clock, for there was a vast interval
between a title to a seat and actual pos
session. The crowds on the sidewalks
were quite willing to give passage to
the favored mortals who owned seats,
but to do so was difficult. It was an at
tempt to divide six into four with no
remainder, and the difficulty was fur
ther increased by the arrival of the
troops, after 8:30, taking up their ap
pointed places. The wise, however, had
reached their seats in stands orobtained
access to houses where they had bought
windows by 7 o'clock. It was only the
Inevitably late callers who had to push
and struggle, and in the case of ladies
much to the damage to their toilettes.
At length order was evolved out of
chaos, many of tbe extreme late com
ers were peremptorily shut out and
everybody settled down to wait. The
picture was complete. The last touches
of the decorator, upholsterer and florist
had been given, the fine effect of the
decorations could be viewed, the faces
were in their places.
THE DECORATIONS BY DAY.
Decorations for her Majesty's Jubilee
have been universal and without stint.
Could the Queen have passed this morn
ing through some of the wretched streets
of her great London, some of those nar
row, ill-favored alleys, where pale-faced
children come to believe the sky is only
a yard wide, where there is want and
hunger ar.d disease the year around, she
could have found no more striking evi
dence of her abiding place in the hearts
of her people. The resplendent West
End, with its crimson glory, great ban
ners, triumphant arches, parterres- of
costly blossoms, meant no more, if half
so much, as. the tiny paper flag, the
•- yard or so of narrow red. white art! blu:
I, stretched alonga window sill and around
11 a common flower pot, wiih its single
d rose—modest decorations which fornud
c today's shrines .'or the children of the
- shadows in the WhiUchapel, Spitalfields,
d Hexton or Shoreditc.h alleyways.
n It Is, however, to the six and three
e quarter mile* of the processional route
d that one must turn for the Jubilee dec
orations. In describing them It may
- be said at the outset that the art of street
s decoration Is not understood In London,
c While here and there much that is beau
- tiful meets the eye. It is not possible to
s' escape the fact that the ensemble has
s. been ruined by lack of concerted ef
s forts. The means employed have been
c as varied as the ends achieved. While
- there is plenty of red, white and blue,
i the greatest reliance has been placed on
royal crimson trimmed with gold. Mot
r toes are bountiful, with scrolls, banners,
i flags, the royal arms, the imperial mon
-1 ogram, portraits of the Queen in every
t possible form of reproduction, and un
f limited allusions to 1837 and 1897. In the
i richer streets there are countless costly
: blossoms, but paper flowers have not
been disdained, especially in such deco
i rations as are in the street proper, and
• the green of evergreen and fir and laurel
. garment the triumphal arches. Vene
; tlan masts, idly waving pennons, shields
[ and standards of Hags, "flowers and ferns
i lend more picturesqueness than perhaps
anything else. There are no scrolls or
decorations stretched across the street,
. by the Queen's express desire, owing to
an accident that befell In the Jubilee ten
years ago, when a falling motto bid fair
to frighten the Queen's horses and dis
turb the sweet smile her Majesty likes
to wear. Naturally, the flags of all na
tions figured conspicuously In this car
nival of color.
, Buckingham Palace Itself was undec
orated, save for the royal standard which
floated above it. The stands in front
and along the garden wall as far as
Hyde Park corner, which were filled with
civil servants, household servants' and
their friends, were more to be noted for
the happy faces of those they contained
than for prominence in decoration, al
though the long lines of national colors
under the trees were decidedly effective.
Indeed, it was not until after passing
Constitution Hill that one was l face to
face with the great effect and noted
what the gradual adornment of the last
month had led to. All the old land
marks were there, of course, but the
streets were transformed beyond recog
nition. It all seemed some large fair or
gigantic festival. All the houses and
clubs ot Piccadilly from Hyde Park cor
ner to St. James street were ablaze with
multi-colored draperies, relieved with
hundredweights of flowers. Red, white
and blue was the prevailing combina
tion, not only In bunting and cloth, but
also in scarlet geraniums, white mar
guerites and deep blue lobelias. Of the
houses, the Devonshire House and Bath
House were the most prominent, Bath
House being far the more artistic, with
scarlet draperies festooned in a ground
of yellow and red stripes, escutcheons
and groups of flags, with baskets of flow
ers showing here and there. The univer
sal "V. R.," with the imperial crowns,
were not lacking.
St. Albans street was completely trans
formed and presented a brave appear
ance, with its tall Venetian masts,
streamers, laurel wreaths and rich fes
toons. The Devonshire Club was not
able—scarlet and white predominating,
the rich draperies bearing excellent por
traits of her Majesty. In Pall Mall much
of the color was established by its stand.
The Wanderers' Club at the foot of Wa
terloo place was decked in a suit of red,
white and blue. A little further on, at the
Pall Mall east entrance to St. Martin's
parish, more ambitious decoration was
attempted. Between this point and Etxe
ter Hall the vestry has placed eighteen
arches, formed of colored globes or bal
loons of the kind used in Paris during
the Czar's visit. The supporting poles
were about five feet high, decorated with
an orifiamme, or bannerette, and an es
cutcheon with two flags. The masts
carried a garland of 118 globes to each
arch, and every balloon contained an
electric lamp of ten candle-power.
Though, cf course, this was to be best
seen later, still it was by no means inef
fective in daytime decoration.
At Exeter Hall, entering the domain of
the Strand oard of Works, an abrupt
change was made from celluloid balloons
! to a line of ventrltive, parallel with the
footways, extending to the lawn courts
and the city limits. The masts were of
gold, with bannerettes between in grace
ful, loopings, with garlands of paper and
muslin llowers, which were quite effec
tive, the design being light and striking.
The Griffin, the site of the old Temple
Nard, was so covered with decorations
for both day and night as to be almost
unrecognizable. Garlands, shields and
national flags were on the four sides,
while among the mottoes the most com
mon was "Victoria, Our Beloved Ruler
of Great Britain's Realms."
The prevailing color in Fleet street
was white and gold and a light arch
spanned the street unlike the majority
of arches, suggesting the Indian Em
pire, as decorative use was made of the
elephant.
Ascending Ludgate Hill the sight was
most attractive. High walls of color
and Immense seas of faces sloping up
to the great gray walls of Christopher
Wren's masterpiece (St. Paul's Cathed
ral), which really seemed to rise out of
the hearts of the people—was a sight
tremendously impressive. Round the
Cathedral the roadway lias not been de
corated, but the abutting premises were
clothed from cornerstone with decora
tions reflecting and emphasizing the
whole genius of a people represented
here in symbol or in substances.
IN CHEAPSIDE.
At the turning into Cheapside there
was plenty of color, plenty of money
spent, but no effect that was noteworthy
until passing out of it, the Mansion
House stood revealed, perhaps the moet
gergeous and artistic bit of decoration
on the entire route. From the central
flagstaff was flown the royal Ftandard
surrounded by twenty-five national
banners mounted on flower-wreathed
pole-. In the center of the pediment
slood the shield of London heraldlcly
colored, backed by a handsome trophy
of national iIaRS and flanked on either
side by large cornucopias. On the cen
tral cornice was the inscription "God
Bless Our Queen," in gold letters, and
on either side the dates, 1837-1897. The
windows were decorated with crimson
plush, draperies, gold ornaments and
emblems typical of the nation. A num
ber of heraldic shields backed by er
mine mantles and trophies of national
lIaRS adorned the front of the building.
In front of the balcony there was a
profusion of blue plush drapery orna
mented in gold with imperial crowns
and monograms and finished with bul
lion fringe, rosettes and tassels. The
columns cf the building were entwined
with wreath's and here and there be
tween depended rich baskets of flowers.
Passing onward through King Will
iam street to London Bridge, Venetian
LPS ANOXtiS HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 23, 1897
.nasts Were again noticeable, bearing
bolden banners entwined with floral
garlands ar.d having laurel wreaths un
(erwealh a crown at the top of the masts.
The monument was draped with lines
of 0»g» and festoons of lantern©, car
ried to the surrounding buildings.
London Rridgre was quite effectively
decorated, both sides supported till
masts topped with royal crowns In gold
ar.d bearing banners. The first and each
alternate mast carried a floral wreath
tied wiih gold silk and the inevitable
letters, "V. R." The second and each al-
ternate mast was entwined with ever
green festooning, bearing a shield back-
Ed by a trophy of five national flags.
Each mast or lamp-post bore suspended
two floral baskets, the supporting up
rights of which displayed the symboli
cal "P. L.," while the festoons between
carried "1837-1897," and an imperial
crown.
South of the Thames the decorations
were less effective, though by no means
scanty.
The "Westminster bridge road was en
livened by two lines of high Venetian
masts with entwined evergreens sur
mounted by golden crowns and adorned
with trophies of national banners,
shields and baskets of flowers alternat
ing. The masts were garlanded togeth
er with double festoons df artificial flow
ers. Parliament street had somewhat
similar masts with bannerettes, crowns
and ornate moldings. The lines taken
by the festoons were varied and pre
sented a pretty succession of curve©.
In streets oft the route the decora
tions were as lavish as commensurate
wlth the prosperity of the inhabitants.
Flags, banners and imperial devices of
?very sort were displayed from win-
dowo and hangings of some sort, gener
ally scarlet and gold, or red, white and
blue. Many others added flowers. In
short, by decorations as by everything
else, London was transformed Into a
vast court, at which an empire rendered
fealty to its sovereign.
THE SEATS CAME HIGH.
NEW YORK, June 22.—A dispatch to
the Journal from London says: The
Americans will occupy a large number
of eeats at the Jubilee procession, most
of them on the highest-priced stands.
Mrs. Ronalds, who has decorated her
! house, Cadogan Place, profusely with
j the stars and stripes, will provide seats
I for a party of friends, mostly Americans,
jon one of the best stands In Piccadilly,
i Mr. and Mrs. George Gould will see the
Queen go by from the costliest stand in
St. Paul's. At Ambassador Hay's house
a party of especially favored friends
will be provided with seats during his
absence at the ceremonies.
John Hays Hammond, after paying
$75,000 as a fine, still has money enough
to purchase a whole stand of twenty
guinea seats for himself and friends. It
is not large but has one of the best posi
tions in Fleet street.
Mrs. Chamberlain is particularly for
tunate in the house of the lateSlr Julian
Goldsmith, which she has purchased.
It commands the best view of the pro
cession in Piccadilly.
Mrs. Bradley Martin arrived in Lon
don just in time for the jubilee. With
seventy-flve other ladles she will wit
ness it from the balcony of the Bach
elor's Club.
THE JUBILEE PROCESSION.
LONDON, June 22—The Jubilee pro
cession was practically in three sections
as far as St. Paul's, though the last two
en route to the Cathedral consolidated
as they moved into Piccadilly. The first
to take position was the colonial proces
sion, which formed on the embankment,
and moved by the palace, where her Ma
jesty viewed it from a window, over the
route to St. Paul's. The march began
at 8:45, and the great cortege proved a
welcome relief to the waiting multitude.
The procession was headed by an ad
vance party of the Royal Horse Guards.
Then followed a band of the same corps,
playing the inspiring "Washington Post
March." Close upon the band came a
portion of the picturesque Northwest
mounted police as an escort to the first
colonial Premier, Hon. Wilfred Laurler.
The Southwark Mounted Rifles, with
gray semi-sombreros and black cock
plumes, succeeded them, escorting the
Premier of New South Wales, Hon. S.
H. Reid. The Victorian mounted troops
followed. Then came the New Zealand
Premier, Hon. Richard J. Siddon. For
the moment Australia gave way ar.d
Africa was allowed a chance, and the
Cape of Good Hope Mounted Rifles her
alded the coming of Cape Premier Hon.
Sir. J. Gordon Sprigg. K. C. M. G. After
them came the South Australian
mounted troops, the Premier of New
foundland. Sir William Whiteway, the
Natal mounted troops, and Sir H. N. Nei
son. representing Western Australia.
The Premiers disposed of, there suc
ceeded really the most attractive display
of mounted troops of the crown colonies,
the Rhcdesian Horse. The colonial in
fantry was broken by three bands of
the typical United Kingdom—those of
King George's, London Scottish and
London Irish Rifle Volunteer Corps, and
others. Then passed the splendid con
tingent from Canada's infantry, with
Colonel Aylemer leading. Much ap
plause was bestowed on the fine march
ing of these men, who in every way kept
the Dominion to the front.
Following came real oddities In the
eyes of the Londoners'—Zaptiehs from
Cyprus dividing the honors with the
Dyaks of Borneo. Others coming after
emphasized and repeated the fact how
widely scattered are the races the Queen
rules. Trinidad field artillery, Sierra
Leones, British Guiana police, Haussas
in the familiar zouave costumes of long
ago, and the Royal Niger Haussas, in
uniforms of Kharkil cloth, were all
blacks. Haussas, the blackest of the
black, wearing the burnished livery ot
the sun, were most enthusiastically
greeted.
The second procession passed the pal
ace fifty minutes after the colonials and
climbed Constitution Hill. It more
than eloquently filled in the picture of
Britain's war strength, more than mag
nificently complemented the carnival of
gorgeous costume and color.
The troops were literally too numer
ous to mention except as a brilliant
whole. It seemed like nothing so much
as some stream of burnished gold, flow
ing between dark banks of humanity
gathered to witness its passage to a
land of light.
The empire had passed in the review
ar.d the head of it all was now to come—
her Majesty. The royal procession prop
er was interwoven with crowds of dig
nitaries of all sorts. First came the aids
de camp to the Queen, headed by the
Prince of Wales and the Dukes of Cam
bridge and Connaught and the Earl of
Weoryse. Then followed all the Lord
Lieutenants of London, his Grace, the
Duke of Westminster, X, C, being fol
lowed by a glittering cavalcade of offi
cers, the headquarters staff. To them
succeeded the Field Marshals.
LONDON, June It. —The ceremony at
St. Paul's passed off without a hitch. The
Queer is now on her way to the South
Side : (London, and the troops are wlth
drawing from, the city. The Queen
reached Buckingham Palace at l:,S0 p. m.
A ROYAL GIFT
LONDON. June 2L—The Prince and
rrlncoss of Wales, the Duke and
Duchess of Tork, the Duke and Duchess
of Fife, Prince and Princess Charles of
Denmark and Princess Victoria, have
jointly presented to the queen a brooch
consisting of one very large white dia
mond encircled with a diamond row.
The Duke and Duchessof Coburg, the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught, Prince
and Princess Christian, the Marquis and
Marchioness of Lome and the Duchess
of Albany and Battenburg have united
in a gift to her majesty of a long chain
of diamond links with an Imperial crown
In the center bearing on one side the
date 18S7 and on the other 1897. The
dates are in brilliant©.
The royal household presents to the
queen a large brooch of fine brilliants
having in the center an exceptionally
lustrous pearl to match the jubilee
necklace presented to her in 1887 by the
daughters of the empire.
HOW IRELAND FEELS
DUBLIN, June 21.—At a meeting held
near College Green today in connection
with the jubilee, a black banner was
displayed bearing the statement:
"During Victoria's reign one and a
half millions of people have starved In
this island, three millions have been
evicted and four millions have been com
pelled to emigrate."
A body of undergraduates who
marched out from the grounds of Trin
ity college, carrying a union Jack, came
into collision with the crowd and there
was considerable fighting. Philip Calan
was severely wounded In the head and
several others were more or less Injured.
Only with difficulty did the police re
store order.
The cause of the trouble was rivalry In
singing national airs.
After the rumpus the crowd paraded
the streets and destroyed the decora
tions.
COLONIAL REJOICING
LONDON, June 22.—The Times and all
the morning papers contain long tele
grams from colonies describing the en
thusiasm in connection with jubilee
fetes. The editorials express a rather
quiet satisfaction over the jubilee hon
ors, though the Liberal organs betray
some measure of disappointment. Liter
ature is practically ignored. There Is
unanimous approval, however, of the
honors conferred upon colonial states
men, and this is specially keen in the
case of Mr. Laurier. The admission of
the premiers to the privy council is re
garded as a sort of recognition of the
colonies to share in the imperial coun
cils.
The Daily Chronicle says: "If, as we
believe, this was Mr. Chamberlain's
Idea, we heartily congratulate him."
M'KINLEY'S LETTER
LONDON, June 21.—President Mc-
Kinley has sent the following personal
letter to Queen Victoria, which was de
livered to her by Whltelaw Reid, spe
cial envoy:
"To Her Majesty, Queen Victoria of
Great Britain and Empress of India—
Great and Good Friend: In the name
and on behalf of the people of the United
States. I present their sincere felicita
tions upon the sixtieth anniversary of

of Great Britain.

prolongation of a reign illustrious and
marked by advance in science, arts and
popular well being. On behalf of my
countrymen I wish particularly to rec
ognize your friendship for the United
States and your love of peace exempli
fied on important occasions.
"It is pleasing to acknowledge the debt
of gratitude and respect due to your per
sonal virtues. May your life be pro
longed, and peace, honor and prosperity

eighth day of May, A. D. 1897.

"By the president.
"JOHN SHERMAN,
"Secretary of State."
DECORATIONS BY NIGHT
LONDON, June 22, 11 p. m.—With the
coming of night the crowds which had
filtered out the procession streets after
the show wedged back again to view
London alight. The illuminations
appeared more artistic than the dec
orations by day. Tonight those of the
metropolis are like everything that had
previouslyt ranspired during the morn
ing hours, greater and more resplendent
than anything in her history.
Turning Into clubland proper, from
the top of St. James street to the end of
Pail Mall,the domain of the aristocracy,
was as they wished It, re-splendently
flamboyant. One of the private build
ings had its facade picked out in lights
of purple and fine gold radiating from a
medallion portrait of her majesty shown
in cut crystals.
Marlborough house instantly caught
the eye. Across the four pillars at the
entrance, to the grounds was noticeable
a large branch in the form of laurels in
various shades of green, with natural
berries around a crown surmounted
medallion Inscribed "V. R. I." The
prince of W r ales' feathers and badge
figured in the design, the whole being of
the most beatiful crystal.
Passing out of Pall Mall the celluloid
balloons quite Justified French taste.
The incandescent glow lamps hidden in
flower petals, euggested nothing so
much as. a childs' dream of Titania's
court. Fleet street from the lawn courts
to Ludgate circus was a dazzling vista
of prismatic and radiant devices, end
ing upon Ludgate hill in the massive
dome of St. Paul's, brilliant lit by search
lights, standing with its huge golden
cross a beacon to greater Lomdon and
beyond.
Nothing in all London or elsewhere
exseeded in artistic beauty and brilliancy
of display the scene from the Wellii g
ton statue, with the Bank of England on
one side and the Mansion house on the
other. The official home of the lord
mayor was bathed in so much light that
all the beauties of the day seemed to
fit In and charmingly mingle with that
of the night.
The bank of England, that hotbed of
old British royalty, had a superstructure
or frame of amber lights along the
Threadneedle facade, within which
huns festoons of white little globes, fas
tened at short intervals with illuminat
ed deep red bows. Here and there set
pieces of cut crystals broke the frame
and added their multi-colored gleams ir
loyal devices. The corner at Prince,*?
street and the corner at Bartholomew
lane supported a crystal device, "The
Grecian Honeysuckle," sixteen feet
wide. Bight across the front of the, ugly
building, significant of ao much ot the
empire, were the well chosen, words of
England's last poet laureate burning In
undisturbed glare as if forever "She
wrought her people lasting good."
Old sightseers pronounced the scene
one of artistic brilliancy in Illumina
tion, unsurpassed even by the fetes for
the Ciar In Pari;, or for him at Moscow.
Father Than** tonight furnished an
impressionist color scene. The sweep
seaward from the pool, myriad lights
here and there just touching into
ghostly form the shipping, the tower,
tbe heavy lines beyond' on the long
neckless of shimmering hems, a\vay to
wards Westminster, with St. Paul's
shadows on the silent waters, the small
strings of colored lamps on some wan
dering tug or cumbrous barges, lines of
color on nearby bridges, the streaming
rays darting skyward from the daz
zling streets, made more marked the
gloomy warehouses, dark patches of al
most impenetrable shadows that on the
river's edge seemed to fringe the glory
of It all.
Out of the processional streets there
were thousands of devices scattered
through Greater London of every kind
and description, from the gorgeous
electric and gas glories In cut crystals
of west end squares, to a row of tallow
dips In Deptford street slums, or the
laundry colonies of Acton.
Victoria street was notable for the
illumination of the United States em
bassy and the offices of the colonial
agents generally. The most prominent
and successful of these was that erect
ed by Sir Donald Smith at the Canada
office, in which the shield and armorial
bearings of the Dominion were sur
rounded by the names bf the provinces
painted on white glass and Illuminated
so as to show a bouquet of color.
All the stately houses In Carlton
House terrace, including Mrs. Mackay's
and Mr. William Waldorf Astor's, are
a blaze of light, but the two splendid
mansions occupied by America's two
ambassadors, Col. Hay's house on one
side and Mr. Reld's on.the other, were
especially brilliant and called forth
many approving comments.
With Illuminations universal in every
town and hamlet of England. Scotland
and Wales and In some parts of Ireland,
with fireworks In countless places, with
Illuminations following the fall of night
In every part of the empire where the
queen has sway, there still remains to
Ibe mentioned the final touch—the llght-
I ing of the empire's torch—the ancient
form of giving warning or sending joy—
the beacon fires. As 10 oelock struck
at the Greenwich observatory a tongue
of flame shot upward from Great Mal
vern, "the backbone of the militants."
It was the jubilee beacon Are. Hardly
had the spectator time to look at It be
fore it flared in the distance on the right,
then again on the left, on the north,
south, east and west. Peak answered
to peak, until from Berwleh-on-Tweeu
to Rough Tore and Brown Willie in
Cornwall, from the cathedral towers of
Litchfield, Worcester, Rlpon, Lincoln
and Durham, from Skiddaw to St. He
ller's, from Hastngs to Caderirls, and
across the water to Donegal and Dublin,
a thousand beacon tires blazed up their
message of loyalty to the sovereign.
Half an hour later the lowlands, ths
highlands, the wild Hebrides even to
Ultima Thule, sent answering signals
to the sky. And then slowly as the light
failed from day to evening round the
world, the empire's torch was lit.
From St. Heller's the signal leaped to
Gibraltar, to Malta, to Cyprus, to Cyp
ron, the India, where it blazed trium
phant on the Himalayas, to China, to
Australia, to Canada, to the West In
dies—the empire's torch shed its radi
ance over the universe.
COUNTER DEMONSTRATIONS
The jubilee was celebrated in almost
all parts of the land with enthusiasm by
public official fetes, decoratlone, illum
inations and bonfires. The Parnellites,
however, were very busy with counter
demonstrations.
In Dublin a procession went through
the streets carrying a black flag and a
coffin labeled "The British Empire,"
and smashing the windowsof illuminat
ed houses. The city has not been so
thoroughly excited since the death of
Parnell.
This evening a large meeting was held
In the Dublin town hall in memory of the
rebellion of *98, and speeches were made
glorifying the men who were the heroes
of that movement.
At Cork the National society hung out
black flags and attempted to hoist one
on the municipal flagstaff, but the police
interfered. Tonight the hilltops are all
ablaze with bonfires.
At Limerick the police removed black
flags from the town hall and from a
number of public monuments During
the evening John Daly addressed a
small hostile demonstration. As
against this, the Royal Irish regiment
held a military tatoo and there were
several torchlight processions, In all of
which large numbers of citizens partic
ipated. Throughout the United King
dom and the colonies and the principal
European cities, according to today's
telegrams, there were enthusiastic cel
ebrations of the event ar.d no untoward
Incident is reported from any quarter.
DEPEW'S IMPRESSIONS
Dr. Chauncey M. Depew has kindly
written for the Associated Press his im
pression of the jubilee. He says:
"The diamond jubilee procession has
passed and has left a lasting Impres
sion. Its preparation required sixty
years and it was over In sixty minutes.
Pride, power and adoration were Its
characteristics. Pride in the imperial
position of Great Britain In the world
and exhibition of power which Inspires
this national exultation and fervid loy
alty in expression and thought for the
queen.
"As to the pageant, it was dramatic
and historic. The lord mayor In his
robes of office meeting the eoverelgn at
the city gates recalls the early sugges
tion of liberty in the privileges won from
kings by free cities, and the sheriff in
medieval costume escorting the mon
arch within his bailiwick gave a glimpse
of the origin and recognition of civil
rights by the throne.
"The monarch escorted by prlncesand
guarded by the military forces of the
realm, both regulars and volunteers,
national and colonial, evidenced the
strength and permanency of the mon
archal system with thispeople.
"We Americans glory in our country
and its marvelousdevelopment in a hun
dred years and duly assert ourselves or.
the Fourth of July. The celebration by
the Germans on the twenty-fifth anni
versary of the battle of Sedan and the
founding of the German empire Is a
wonderful exhibition of race and na
tional feeling.?.
"But the- concentrated and irrepress
ible Joy and pride which preceded, ac
companied and followed the queen like
a fesistless> torrent, surpassed anything
ever witnessed before. Though many
races and many nations participated,
the dominant and observing expression
was Bngllsh, and the glory was Eng
land's. Peers and commoners, masters
and workmen, millionaires and the mul
titudes were welded by a tremendous
force.
"I can conjure no tribute like the pop
ular ovation to the queen ever being
given to any human being, except the
reception to Washington by the people
on his way from Mount Vernon to New-
York to assume the position of first
president of the United States. Respect,
reverence, love or gratitude are words
too tame, and there is no Intermediate
expression between, them and adoration.
"Making due allowance for the ex
altation of the hour, Victoria will oc
cupy a great place in the history of the
nineteenth century. Her Influence for
peace has been of a momentous conse
quence to Great Britain, Europe and
civilisation."
Ohauncey M. Depew witnessed the
procession as the guest of the Baroness
Burdett-Coutts, George Gould, Mrs.
Gould and the members of their family
from Savoy hotel, while Mark Twain,
Mr. M. H. De Young and Mrs. De Young,
with Mrs. and Miss Deane of San Fran
cisco, looked on from the Hotel Cecil.
This evening her majesty gave a fam
ily dinner In the supper'room of Buck
ingham palace at a quarter to nine. All
the members of the royal family were
present, as well as all the royal guests.
Their suites dines in the garden vesti
bule.
