| London, June 12.-The past week has
| been the arrival of numerous military
| detachments from the colonies to take
part in the Queens jubilee festivities.
| A splendid body of Maori police are the
| latest arrivals. They reached here yes
| terday evening from New Zealand and
| composed an ode to the Queen while on
/ their way here. They hope to chant it
before Her Majesty and expect her to
| join in it,
Colonial troops are now to be met OH
every side. They are generally men of
fine physique, wearing smart uniforms
| and are very popular everywhere
The official programme of the process
sion as Published, has given umbrage to
| the Liberals, owing to the utter absence
| of recognition of the civil and Industrial
| side of the Queens reign. The Daily
| Chronicle is very Outspoken on the sub
| ject, especially at the omitting of Mr.
Gladstone, and asks: What kind of
| show is it that gives a prominent place
| to the soldiers of Emperor William and
| to the representatives of Turkish bar
bariSm and excludes the greatest living
| Englisl-speaking statesman of the age?"
Continuing the Chronicle remarks:
THE Victorian era is conspicuous above
| all in the progress of labor and the
steady growth of lf-goyernment. Yet
| the working classes are ignored. A still
| more striking fact is that the presiding
| officers of the two houses of parliament
| are not recognized. The speakers of
| fee is ceturies old. He is the first COM
| moner in England, presides over the most
| famous representative institution and is
the figure-head of Democratic govern
ment; yet, he has no place in the process
| sion. What will the colonialS, who are
welded to pure Democracy, think of
| this?''
An extraordinary murder story comes
| from Philippopoils, Bulgaria, where
| Capt. Boitscheff, Prefect of Police No
witch and gendarme have been arrest
ed on the charge of numbering Anna
Szimon. beautiful public singer and
| the mistress of the captain The latter,
| it appears, became tired of Anna and de-
termined to get rid of her With the
aid of the prefect and the captains
brother, she was chloroformed and TAX
EN- in cab to the banks of the Martha
river where the gendarme was in wait
ing The latter then threw her into the
water. The prefect of police has COM
fessed. He says he was told by Capt.
Boitscheff that Prince Ferdinand, of
Bulgaria. had ordered the woman to be
| killed. In connection with this declara-
| ton, 1T is pointed out that the accom-
plice of the captain was Il court gen
| darme of the Princes palace. Capt.
Boitscheff was one of the cadets who as
sisted in kidnapping Prince Alexander,
| of Bulgaria, driving the carriage in
which the latter was transported to the
coast. Prince Ferdinand, when he sue
| ceeded Prince Alexander, took fancy
/ to Boitscheff, had him educated and at
| tached him to the suite of Princes Maria
Louise, with the rank of Princes Adj
jutant. Boitscheff's laison with Anna
| Szimon was known to everybody in So
| ciety. Capt. Boitscheff made rich mar
| riage recently, when the laison with the
unfortunate singer was much talked of.
| Princess Adelaide, widow of the first
Don Miguel of Braganza, the former
head of the royal family of Portugal, is
| to take the black veil tomorrow, when
| she will be received as a professed choir
nun at the Benedictine Abbey of ST.
Cecilia of Solesmes. She is the mother
of the present Duke of Braganza and her
six beautiful daughters have all made
brilliant matches, one as the wife of the
late Arch-Duke Charles Louis of Aus
| tria, expected to be Empress of Austria
Another married the brother of the EN-
press of Austria who is an accomplish
ed occulist and, assisted by his wife,
treats eye diseases gratis. Princess Ade-
laide has been a novice in the abbey men,
toned since June II, 1896, and was her.
self a famous beauty. She always had
a tendency toward conveitonal life
and the fire at the Charity Bazaar in
Paris on May 4th, decided her to take
the black veil.
The Czar's baby is to receive a singular
name Tatiana.
There is serious alarm in all circles of
the French capital at the avowed inten-
ton of the Parliamentary committee,
which is now dealing with the Berenger
bill to restrict, not only the sale, but the
possession of certain class of literature
and works of art. The list drawn up in
cludes over a hundred master pieces of
the most illustrious authors of France
and Imprisonment for a month to two
years and fine of one hundred to five
thousand francs are the pealties for lend
ing or giving any of them away.
Nj. Berenger, who heads the purity
movement, is being urged to take up a i
scandal which has caused considerable
sensation in Paris. The police of that |
city recently raided house in the Rue
Camlarceres, where the revolving cor
ruption of young children was carried on.
The men found there were liberated, and |
it is limited that Senators were among |
them. A young girl. named Lepreux. |
however, was thrown into prison and is |
still detained there, though there is no !
