Through Burtons gate the queen passed
On to the garden entrance of buckingham
Palace, always between the living lanes of
homage and salvos of cheers. which con-
tinued until the gates had shut the queen
from view.
Police Kept busy.
the police were kept busy attending to
fainting women, but the crowds were in
the best Of humor and chaffed every one.
number Of Americans, armed with ko-
oaks. 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
humored 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.
A few minutes before 1 o'clock a hoarse
roar OF cheering in the distance announced
the approach of the queen. The cheering
grew In strength until 1t amounted to d
deafenlng storm of applause as the sover-
egn reached the vicinity of the palace.
The queen was dressed In black and how
ed slowly to the right and to the left, to
the greetings of her subjects. She looked
pleased, did not wear spectacles and %
peared not more tired than any lady of
her age might be expected to be. The EN-
press Frederick. who sat beside her majes-
ty, was also dressed in black Princesses
christian and Battenberg sat opposite the
queen and the empress. The Princess
Christian wore lilac costume and the
Princess Henry of Battenberg was dressed
in black.
Two Scotch gillies rode behind the car

yard the carriage passed direct to the
quadrangle, Princess Henry of Batter
berg waving her hand as she passed to
her children. who, with the Duchess Of
Connaught, saluted her majesty amid an
enthusiastic renewal of the cheering and
waving of handkerchiefs. The guards
then paraded in the palace yard, and the
Duke of Connaught, who followed soon
tering the palace yard the duke saluted the
duchess and the children and then Was sa-
luted by the Life Guards as they rode off.
The queen, after she entered the palace,
proceeded to her private apartments Tor
luncheon, and the royal and other guests
had lunch i'll the state supper room.
Levee was worn. and the suites, who were
also in levee dress. had luncheon in the
garden and in the vestibule.
Fear Anarchist Outrages.
Owing to the recen. explosion of bombs
in Paris and the arrival in England OF
many foreigners known TO be connected
with anarchy. the Scotland Yard authori-
ties have been very active. The whole
route of the procession tomorrow has been
closely examined. especially the bridges
and the stands in their vicinity.
Socialist and anarchist leaflets treating
the jubilee in threatening terms have been
Issued. One of them des cri5es the queen S
reign as sixty years Of cowardly wars
for gold on ignorant and defens eless saw
ages. and as IAN increase of the wealth
of Great Britain, but not for the mass of
working people, whose condition is worse
than sixty years ago
The leaf1et quoted also Gays:
The appalling mass Of lunatics sent to
the asylums yearly have been driven mad
by the stress of the difficulties of life dur
ing Nictoria's reign
Queen Will Not Abdicnte,
In regard to the revival of the periodical
rumor of the queens intention to abdicate
in favor of the Prince of Wales, which the
Exchange Telegraph Company again cir
culates, the Westminster Gazette says:
When the rumor was circulated months
ago, we We're informed on the highest au-
II Gritty that it was unfounded"
In spite of the enormous crowds in Lon
dCn, seats to view the procession tomor-
row are almost going begging. Many of
the city syndicates today are distribu1 ing
seats gratis among their disappofnte,]
shareholders.
The rapacity of the omnibus compa MES
which yesterday trebled the rates Of their
fares. has also had a setback and they, In
many cases. today reduced prices to the
regular rates.
United States special envoy, Mr. White
law Reid: Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U.S.A
Rear Admiral J. N. Miller, U.S.N., and
the members of the United States special
Embassy reached the palace few minutes
after o'clock.
They all wore evening dress with the ex-
ception OF the American officers, and the
republican simplicity of their attire was in
startling contrast with the briliiancy of
the uniforms around them. The American
party was received by the master of ce-e-
monies and conducted by one of the queen s
eqUerries TO marques in the gardens
where lunch was served
MT Reid. however, did rot go to the
garden, but was escorted to the state sun
per room, only his suite being entertained
~ the marques. Mr.. Reid was received by
the Prince of Wales in the most cordial
manner.
After lunch the ENJOYS strolled about the
palace "Nos ehe
