Associated Press Special Wire.
LONDON, July 3.-The jubilee func-
tions are ended and London is reluct-
antly dofilng it's holiday garb. But the
undressing apparently takes as long as
the dressing. Carpenters are still slowly
tearing down the stands. Most of the
princes and special envoys have de-
parted.
The special embassy Of Hon. Whitelaw
Reid ended yesterday. and did so with
continued marks Of gratitude from the
British government for the manner In
which the United States has been rep
resented. While Mr.. and Mrs. Reid's
official task is over, their personal en-
gagements promise to be almost as i'm
portant and numerous.
General Nelson A. Miles, U. s. A., has
been a rather embarrassing element in
the United States special mission and
to the British government, as he insisted
upon taking more than they intended
him to do. The government had pro-
vided rooms, servants and a carriage at
the Alexandria hotel for Rear Admiral
J. N. Miller. u. S. N, and General Miles,
but the invitation was not extended to
their wives. General Miles arrived first
with his wife and occupied both rooms,
leaving to Admiral Miller the room the
court officials had intended forthe SER
wants accompanying the officers. Ad-
miral Miller thereupon declined to re-
main at the hotel, and repaired to
lodgings in Half Moon street, where his
family was installed. The court off,
cials were generally distressed, and
wished to to take suite of rooms at
the Victoria hotel for Admiral Miller,
but the latter declined.
The British naval officers were greatly
disturbed at the Brooklyn leaving Spit
head on Sunday. thus preventing the
American officers taking part in the fes-
tivities which took place at Portsmouth.
On Wednesday, while the Brooklyn was
at Southampton. Sir William White.
Great Britain's greatest naval con-
structor, with a party, came up on the
marvel torpedo boatTurbina. Sir Will
liam was shown over the ship and ex-
amined everything with the greatest in
terest. He was especially compliment
airy of all the arrangements connected
with the guns and tor the protection of
the engines.
A NEW SENSATION
The secretary of state for the colonies,
Joseph Chamberlain. provided royalty
with a new sensation on Wednesday.
Wishing to have an overwhelming social
show, Mr.. Chamberlain took the late
Sir Julian Goldschmidt's big house in
Piccadilly and invited 1000 guests to a
banquet and reception following, all Of
whom apparently accepted, resulting
in the greatest crush London remem-
bers The sudden bringing of eight or
nine hundred carriages into Piccadflly
quite upset the police and made an in
terminable jam in the midst Of which
the Prince and Princess of Wales drove
up st. James street. The prince, find-
ing that the police were unable to clear
his royal way, ordered his coachman
to drive back to Marlborough house,
and for the first time in the life of their
highnessee their progress to honor a
commoner was barred. Inside the
house the crush was terrible. Mr. and
Mrs. Chamberlain vainly tried to edge
their way to the foot OF the stairs in
order to receive the Prince and Princess
of Wales. Hundreds were unable to get
in at all and" the Duke and Duchess of
York were obliged to make their exit
by way of the kitchen and the rear steps.
The fiasco is the talk Of the town and
many bitter remarks are circulating in
society. The old Tories are delighted
at what they call Mr.. Chamberlain's
bad breeding and want Of taste, ETC.,
and predictions are made that the
Prince and Princess of;Wales will never
again accept their invitations.
HONORS FOR AMERICANS
The United States and Canadian
bishops are being royalty entertained
everywhere. Every bishop has more in
vitations to hospitality than he can pos
sibly attend, and the same case with
invitations to preach. The Archbishop
Of Canterbury received them all most
cordially and influences by the whole
sale are being brought to bear in favor
Of Archbishop of Canterbury's great
scheme to obtain the adhesion of all
the colonial and of all Americans if pos
sible to such an acknowledg cement of the
Archbishop of Canterbury'sl headship
of the Church of England and its off,
shoot as to practically permit him, in a
large measure, to control the internal
affairs Of such churches. The idea
finds but little favor with the United
States bishops.
Her majesty today entertained the
members of the house Of commons at
a garden party at Windsor. Each mem
ber of parliament was allowed to bring
his wife and one daughter, if his daugh-
ter had made her debut, or her sister
This invitation was issued when he,
majesty read in the London newspapers
that the members of the house of COM
mons were indignant at the manner in
which they were treated at the Buck
ingham palace reception, which fact had
been carefully suppressed by the police
officials, who were to blame for the blum
dering. The tactful act of the queen in
including the wives of the members oil
parliament in her invitation was re-
ceived with the greatest enthusiasm
