LONDON. July S-.This city is still etJtte. She
will not put of hor nuptial array until Mon
day. Throngs, only less great than those on
Thursday. fil tho streets. Last night and to-
night tho illumlnations have been repeated
with but littlo diminished glory. Tho mombcrs
of the royal family and tho visiting sovoreigns
and princes. who saw but little OF the marvol-
lous display Of tho wedding day. have since
been admiring 1t.
Thore is immense self satisfaction here
over the manner in which the greatest we'd

trated. Every public word upon the subject
is Of congratulatlon. Th0re Is. however. the

was flooded on the wedding day with leaflets
bearing the yilest insinuations md grossest
assertions regarding the royal couple. Such
an outrage would be sharply suppressed al
most anywhere else.
No grent social event affecting the royal
family OF Great Britain seems sepnrabe from
an accompanying scandal So In this case
black story about the bridegroom is received
everywhere as matter Of course. 1t 10 to the
effect that Prince George had been morgan
atically married several years. No attempt at
proof goes with the sorry story. AID some OF
the current details carry their own refutation.
There was ono inconspicuous figure In tho
great pageant Of Thursday which was tho
object Of moro anxious solicitude than all
others in the nuptial party. 1t was that OF n
young man. who. IL the weapons OF the con-
spirators do not cut short his career. will one
day sit upon a throne. the most autocratic and
most perilous In all tho world. The weeks
visit OF the Czarswitch has been the cause OF
tho most intense anxiety to those who were
responsible for his safety. 1t has been raro
holiday for the young man. and he has per-
sistod In spending 1t as though he had not
nm enemy on earth. Tho heir to the
Russian throne is an interesting lad. He
was too young for the shock OF his grand
fathers murder to make q lasting i'm pres
sion on him. 80 he seems to have none OF
his fathers dread OF another Nihilist blow.
His guardians this week have been unable to
induce him to take what they regard as pre-
cautions Of common prudence. Superintend-
ent Melville. with score OF Scotland Yard de-
tectives, was made personally responsible for
guarding him during his stay in England. Sew
eral Russian detectives came 10 assist. It was
lively dance which tho future Emperor Of all
the Russins led them.
?, Ho began BY giving them tho slip on the first
day. minRling with the crowds Ike anybody
else. He laughed all warnings to scorn. and
insisted upon visiting music halls and other
public places as one of the crowd. His resem-
blance to his cousin, the Duke Of York. is so
strong that he was several times mistak on for
tho royal bridegroom. He insisted on visiting
the Tower Of London on Monday. free day
He took his turn in the crowd. got elbowed
and jostled. and seemed TO enjoy 1t i'm
mensely. He had the greatest fun OF all

Denmark at Boyton's Water Show on Tues
day. They were invited to shoot tho chute.

invited the King to take the front seat in
the boat in which they were to mako the
swift descent. His Majesty took his place. and
his grandson quietly got In behind and put
his silk hat under the seat The Indian guide
pushed OF. and in o moment the boat was
flying like mad down tho steep decline.
The King, who thought tho boat would
certainly plunge Under the waters OF the
lake. crouched down and held on like grim
death. The Czarewitch stood up and yelled
with excited glee. The fiat -bottomed boat
dashed into the water with tremen-
dous splash, leaped four or 1--WE feet into
the air and q drenohinR shower OF spray
covered his Majesty on the front seat. As the
boat approached the opposite shore. the Care

winked wickedly. and something slipped into
his fingers. There had been a similar bit OF
pantomime before tho boat started. and as
skilful guides can take their coats through
exciting trips without wetting their passen-
gers 1t Is suspected that the young Czarewitch
played q little Joke on his royal grandfather.
The Prince Of Wales came down In another
boat. and they liked 1t 80 much they all went
back and tried 1t again.
On Wednesday the Czarewitch went shop
ping and spent q small fortune. He stopped
90 long in one leading jewellers that the de-
tectives grew anxious and went In to soc what

the proprietors recognizing the Scotland
Yard man. hastened forward anxiously to ask
II he knew who the stranger was. He was in
formed. and the demeanor OF everybody In the |
shop quickly changed: but It Is said that the |

succeeded In concealing his identity.
The incident which made the most i'm pres
slon on the Czarewitch BY reason OF the con-
trast St Petersburg presents took place late |
on Thursday evening. Nearly all the mem- |
bers OF tho royal family and their visitors |
scrambled to the roof OF the lodge at the gates |

monstrous crowd which came in thousands
and tens OF thousands to view the illumi- |
nations. The ceaseoss throng poured by
