London, June 22.-The queen is in
London. and the diamond jubilee cele-
bration can now be said to be fully in
augurated. The early morning hours
were enlivened by the pealing of bells,
and in the morning breeze everywhere
fioated the royal standard. The first
point Of interest in the days proceed
ings was Windsor. where by 6 O'CLOCK,
the short route leading from the castle
TO the Great Western railway station
was lined by a mass of people gathered
to see the queen start. Flags and flow
ers were everywhere, and the order of
the day, God Save the Quen," ap-
peared on houses and banners without
end. The statue of the queen near the
castle was decorated and gorgeously
canopied in the renaissance style, and
se~hA vSHSlidh Will
ing pennons lined both sides of the
route. Queen Victoria left Windsor
Castle at noon, and at 1880 she was at
Paddington station in the metropolis,
which at that time held at least ten
millions of her loyal subjects.
One Long Air-Splitting Cheer.
You could tell where her majesty was
by the roar of cheers, which beginning
at the Windsor station swept down the
line from there into Paddington station;
thence along the route the queen took
to buckingham palace. 1t was one long
cheer-one tremendous rear of greeting
to the queen, God bless her." People ?
Never probably in The worlds history
were there SO many in one city: never
more packed along one line of procession
than those who stood along the route
taken by the queen from the station to
the palace. Not only on the immense
stands, in the houses lining the way
and in the distance when near enough
to see the route taken by the queen
people were packed; on the house tops,
in the trees-everywhere one mass of
cheering. hat-throwing, handkerchief
and-flag-waving people
Not a Trace of Blindness.
Her majesty's carriage was driven
Slowly; she wore no glasses, and the
story that she was nearly blind, SO per-
sistently repeated by certain American
papers was plainly proven a lie out of
whole cloth. She was evidently graft
fled at the warm welcome she received
and smiled and bowed her thanks. Ar
rived at Buckingham palace she was
received by Prince Henry of Battenberg
and her children, the Duchess of Con-
naught and the duke and other
royalties. and was soon resting pre-
parstory to the labors of the afternoon,
which had been devoted to a reception
OF the special ENJOYS of the nations, who
had been sent to greet her on the climax
day of her reign.

THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT.
Forty-One Irish Members of the Common
Vote Against an Address.

Vote Against an Address.
Both houses of parliament met yester-
day. The lords adopted unanimously
an address to the queen, but in the house
the Irish members objected. The house
was crowded when the first lord of the
treasury, Balfour, moved, and Sir WILL
lam Vernon Harcourt, the Liberal lead
er. seconded, an address of congratula-
ton to the queen. Dillon, chairman of
the Irish Parliamentary party, pro-
tested in vehement language. He ex-
planned that the attitude of himself and
his party was that they would not vote
in favor of any amendment, but would
vote against the adoption of the adj
d ess, in which the Irish could not
share.
Redmond protested against Great
Britain's rule in Ireland and asked the
house to adopt an amendment to the
effect that it deemed it a duty to place
on record that during the sixty years
or her maJesty's reign Ireland has suf-
fered grievously from famine, depopula-
tom, poverty and the continued suspen-
sion of constitutional liberties, with the
result that the Irish are discontended
and disaffected and unable to Join in
the celebration. When the amendment
was put the anti-Parnellites left the
house, but they returned for the main
question, and on the speaker saying:
THE ayes have it, the anti-Parnell-
ties shouted loudly: "The noes have it,
whereupon vote had to be taken.
Balfour then moved that the address
be presented to the queen by the whole
house. to which John j. Clancy, Parnell-
lite, said that after what had occurred
the motion was absurd and an absolute
untruth. A vote was then taken, and II
resulted in the adoption of Balfour's
motion by AL ayes to Al noes.

of w. j. Bryan.
Lewiston, Me, June 22.-Professor l..
c. Bateman, of Auburn, who was the
candidate of the Peoples party of Maine
for governor last year, and who is a
leader of the ''middle-of-th e-road''
forces in this state, has published an
attack on William J. Bryan. Professor
Batenian says that Populist Representa-
tive Freeman Knowles, of South Dakota.
while on his recent trip to his old home
in SkowheEan, Me-, gave out the in
formation that Bryan's recent gift OF
1880 TO the Populist national commit
tee was made with the distinct under
standin g that no action against fusion
be taken by the Peoples party before
the next national convention
This, Professor Bateman SAYS IS
nothing more nor less than a direct
bribery. Professor Bateman also says
that Bryan has appended his Bate
mans name to Senator Aliens letter
of notification given out last September.
Bateman was secretary of the notifica-
ton committee, but did not sign the
letter in question. He says that Bry-
ans action in printing his name on the
letter in his book is an act of political
forgery. Professor Bateman Is a dele
gate to the 'middle-of-the-road" ma
tional conference at Nashville, Tenn.
July 4. He says he will bring these mat
tiers before that body.
