The police were kept busy attending
to the fainting women, but the crowds
were in the best of humor and chaffed
every one. A number of Americans.
armed with kodaks, had stationed
themselves opposite the palace gate,
and somebody in the crowd shouted,
Now. Yanks, three cheers for your
mother" raising a roar of good-humor-
ed laughter.
On the right of the palace gateway,
the Duchess of Connaught and her
children and some of the Battenbergs
awaited the arrival of her majesty.
The queen, after she entered the pal
ace. proceeded to her private apart
ments for luncheon, and the royal and
other guests had lunch in the state
supper room. Levee costume was
worn. and the suites, who were also in
leyee dress. had luncheon in the garden
and vestibule.
In spite of the enormous crowds in
London. seats to view the procession
tomorrow are almost going begging.
Many of the city syndicates to-day are
distributing seats gratis among their
disappointed shareholders.
A few minutes before one o'clock a
hoarse roar of cheering in the dis
tance announced the approach OF the
queen. The cheering grew in strength
until it amounted to a deafening storm
of applause as the sovereign reached
the vicinity of the palace. The queen
was dressed in black and bowed slow
ly TO the right and to the left TO the
greetings of her subjects. She looked
pleased. did not wear spectacles, and
appeared not more tired than any lady
of her age might be expected to be.
The Empress Frederick, who sat be-
side her majesty, was also dressed in
black. Princess Christian and Batten-
berg sat opposite the queen and the
empress. The Princess Christian wore
a lilac costume and the Princess Henry
of Battenberg was dressed in black.
AS soon as it entered the palace yard
the carriage passed direct to the quad
rangle. Princess Henry Of Battenberg
waving her hand as she passed to her
children. who. with the Duchess OF
Connaught. saluted her majesty amid
an enthusiastic renewal of the cheer
ing and waving of handkerchiefs. The
guards then paraded in the palace yard
and the Duke Of Connaught, who fol-
lowed soon afterward, was warmly
cheered. On entering the palace yard
the duke saluted the duchess and chill
dren and was then saluted by the life
guards as they rode off.
Owing to the recent explosion OF
bombs in Paris and the arrival in
England of many foreigners known to
he connected with anarchy, the Scot
land Yard authorities have been very
active. The wheel route of the process
sion tomorrow has been closley ex-
amined. especially the bridges and
stands in their vicinity.
Socialist and anarchist leaflets treat
ing the jubilee in threatening terms
have been issued. One of them de-
scribes the queens reign as sixty
wears of cowardly wars for gold on ig-
norant and defenseless savages," and
as an increase of the wealth of Great
Britain. but not for the mass of work
ing people. whose condition is worse
than sixty years ago" The leafiet also
says: "The appalling mass of lunatics
sent to the asylums yearly have been
driven mad by the stress OF difficulties
of life during Victoria's glorious reign"
If the streets to-day can be taken as
a forecast for tomorrow, Queens Day
will be signalized by the assembling in
London of not less than eight millions
of human beings. At all the London
termini since morning people have
been pouring into the metropolis in
thousands. And for thousands there is
no other shelter than the streets. But
the utmost good humor prevailed.
