PROVE OE THE QUEENS JUBI-
LEE PROGRAMME.
SPEAKER, EVEN, OMITTED.
..FAITHFUL COMMONS TO PLAY A
VERY SMALL PART IN THE
CELEBRATION.
TROOPS OF ALL SORTS ARRIVING
Detachment of Maori Police the La
test Arrivals From the Colo
MES of Her Majesty.

LONDON, June 1.-THE past week
has seen the arrival of numerous mill
tary detachments from the colonies to
take part in the queens jubilee festivi-
ties. A splendid body Of Maori police
are the latest arrivals. They reached
here yesterday evening from New Zea-
land, and composed an ode to the queen
while on their way here. They hope
to chant it before her majesty and ex-
pect her to join in it. Colonial troops
are now to be met on every side. They
| are generally men Of fine physique,
wearing smart uniforms and are very
| popular everywhere.
The official programme Of the process
sion, as published has given umbrage
to the Liberals, owing to the utter alb
| sence Of recognition of the civil and
| industrial side Of the queens reign. The
Daily Chronicle Is very outspoken on
the subject, especially at the emitting
of Mr.. Gladstone, and asks: What
| kind of a show is it that gives a prom
inent place to the soldiers of Emperor
| William and to the representatives Of
4 Turkish barbarism and excludes the
greatest living English-speaking states
man Of the age" Continuing, the
| Chronicle remarks: 1.-The Victorian era
! is conspicuous above all in the pro-
gress Of labor and the steady growth
| of government. Yet the working
| classes are ignored A still more strik-
ing fact is that the presiding officers of
the two houses Of parliament are not
| recognized. The speakers office is CEN
turtles old. He is the first commoner
| in England, presides over the most
| famous representative institution and
is the f1gurehead Of democratic govern
| ment; yet, he has no place in the pro-
cession. What will the colonials, who
| are welded to pure democracy, think Of
this?"
In conclusion, the Chronicle says:
eff the crown has done something for
the country, it is also true that the
country has done much for the crown,
for it's own progress and for the gen
eral cause of human welfare
An extraordinary murder story
| comes from PhilippopoliS, Bulgaria,
where Capt. Beitcheff, a project of po-
! lice and a gendarme have been ar
rested on the charge of numbering
Anna Simon, a beautiful public singer
With the aid of the project and the
captains brother, she was chloroform-
ed and taken in cab to the banks
of the Martha river, where a gerdarne
was in waiting. The latter then threw
her into the water. The project Of po-
lice has confessed. He says he was
told by Capt. Beitcheff that Prince
Ferdinand Of Bulgaria had ordered the
woman to be killed. In connection
with this declaration, it is pointed out
that the accomplice of the captain was
| a court gendarme of the princes pal
ace.
ROYAL MEN.
Princess Adelaide, widow of the first
Dom Miguel Of Braganza, the former
| head of the royal family Of Portugal,
| is to take the black veil tomorrow,
| when she will be received as a pro-
| fessed choir nun at the Benedictine
| Abbey of St. Cecilia of Soiesmes. She
is the mother of the present Duke Of
Braganza, and her six beautiful daugh-
ters have all made brilliant matches,
one as the wife Of the late Archduke
Charles Louis of Austria, expected to
be empress of Austria Another mar
RED the brother of the empress
! Of Austria, who is an &C
| complished occulist and assisted by his
| wife, treats eye diseases gratis. Prin-
cess Adelaide has been a novice in the
abbey mentioned since July u, 1895,
and was herself a famous beauty. She
always had a tendency toward convent
life, and the fire at the charity bazaar
in Paris On May 4, decided her to take
the black veil.
There is serious alarm in all circles
of the French capital on the aYoWed
| intention Of the parliamentary commit
tee, which is now dealing with the
! Berenger BILL to restrict not only the
sale, but the possession Of certain
classes of literature and works of art.
| Acknowledged works such as are eX-
hibited in the Louvre and some claSSi,
| oil ha nj hn
black list. This will bring the direc-
tors of the museums and national Ii
brary within the statute. Literateurs
and collectors are in CONSERVATION, as
the early adoption of the law appears
to be certain The Journal des Debats
describes the proposal as odiouS, eS-
pecially the part dealing with the bare
possession of works which are alleged
to be of a doubtful character. The
list drawn up includes over hundred
masterpieces Of the most illustrious
authors of France, and imprisonment
for q month to two years, and fine
of one hundred to five thousand francs
are the penalties for lending or giving
them away.
SALE OF DELAGOA BAY.
Delagoa Bay, according to reports
emanating from good sources, is al
ready in the possession of the British,
and the increased number of troops
which nave Deen ana are Delng sent TO
Cape Colony are really intended for the
occupation of the new possession, when
! the time comes for announcing it. In
| this connection, it is recalled that
Rcthschild practically purchased a
controlling interest in the Suez canal
for Lord Beaconsfeld. when the latter
was prime minister for Great Gritain,
eighteen months before the transac-
ton was announced, and Rothschild' S
name is now mentioned as finding the
money for the purchase of Delagoa
Bay.
Mr.. JOHN Redmond. the Parnellite
| leader, accompanied by Louis Stuyve-
SAINT Chanler, as star orator, is stump
ing Ireland in the cause of the Red
mOndite league. which he will inaugu-
rate in a speech at Cork on Sunday.
1t is said that the queen intends to
confer an honorary grand cross of the
! Order of the Bath on NJ. Hanotaux, the
. French minister for foreign affairs.
This honor has but seldom been be-
slowed on any one below the rank of
q prince, and at present Baron Lambre-
mont and the grand vizier of the late
shah of Persia are the only such per-
sons whose names appear on the list
: Of honorary grand crosses Of the Bath.
The pan-Anglican conference, which
will be held at Lambeth next month,
will be q notable one, at least in one
: respect. 1t is officially announced that
