into collision with the crowd and there
was considerable fighting. Philip Calan
was severely wounded in the head and
several others were more or less injured.
Only with difficulty did the police re-
store order.
The cause of the trouble was rivalry in
singing national airs.
After the rumpus the crowd paraded
the streets and destroyed the decora-
tions.
COLONIAL REJOICING
LONDON, June 22.-The Times and all
the morning papers contain long tele-
grams from colonies describing the en-
thusiasm in connection with jubilee
fetes The editorials express a rather
quiet satisfaction over the jubilee hon.
ors, though the Liberal organs betray
some measure of disappointment Liter
ature is practically ignored. There is
unanimous approval, however, of the
honors conferred upon colonial states
men, and this is specially keen in the
case of Mr.. Laurier. The admission of
the premiers to the privy council is re-
garded as a sort of recognition of the
colonies to share in the imperial coun-
ellis.
The Daily Chronicle says: IF. as we
believe, this was Mr.. Chamberlain's
idea, we heartily congratulate him."

DECORATIONS BY NIGHT
LONDON, June %. II p. m.-With the
coming of night the crowds which had
filtered out the procession streets after
the show wedged back again to view
London alight. The illuminations
appeared more artistic than the dec
orations by day. Tonight those Of the
metropolis are like everything that had
previouslyt ranspired during the morn
ing hours, greater and more respondent
than anything in her history.
Turning into clubland proper. from
the top of st. James street to the end OF
Pail Mall,t the domain of the aristocracy,
was as they wished it, resplendently
famboyant. One of the private build
ings had its facade picked out in lights
of purple and fine gold radiating from
medallion portrait of her majesty shown
in cut crystals.
