STANDING ROOM ONLY IN LONDON.
Crowds of People Take Up Their Posi-
tiops Over Night.

Copyright 1897, by Press Publishing Company
LONDON, June 2l.-(New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) - Imagine
New Yorks first night OF the constitutional
centennial, with the Grant day crowd added
and you get an idea of London tonight. The
worlds metropolis has gone mad, and the
mania is noise. Nothing like il has ever
been seen or heard, here or elsewhere.
The decorations were practically completed
on Saturday, and the crowds then were ire
meldous, there seemingly being standing
room only in London, but the masses OF
humanity In the narrow streets continually
increased until tonight.
The route of tomorrow's procession pre-
sents a spectacle beyond belief. Progress
is simply impo 9sli'.e. One MAI walked from
St. Paul's to Trafalgar square (ab0ut tho dls-
tance from Fourteenth street to For:y-second
street in New York; In six hours, and worked
hard at that. ThCusanis VINO nope to see
the procession from sidewalks took places as
early as O'Clock this afternoon, women and
children mostly. At 6 p. N. their male
relatives and friends. better able TO fight
through the crowds appeared with supper
and went away. At midnight they are com
ing back again with breakfast in pals and
packages and taking their places with the
women to spend the rest of the night in the
street. Not permanent obstruction on the
sidewalk along the whole route but has itf
occupant al this moment. Grant day was
not marker 10 H. ana nearly all thry
will see they saw Saturday, when the great
military procession made the streets gor-
geous. Almost the only additions Will be q
few carriages. in one of which an elderly
woman will sit on swinging seat and bow
10 the sightseers.
Few people expect any hostile demon
strations tomorrow. although there is con-
siderable talk about the dangers of the
queens passage through London. Foreign
anarch ists almost certainly will do nothing tc
injure England's queen because England is
their only asylum in Europe The queen
herself, it Is said, has no misgivings.

ROW OVER RATES FOR THE ELK
Chicago-St. Paul Lines still Pull Each
Others Hair.

CHICAGO, June 21.-The meeting of the
Elks which is to be held in Minneapolis in
July has stirred up a hornets nest between
the Chicago-St. Paul roads, and there is
likely to be trouble before the matter is
settled. The roads of the Central Paesen-
ger association have made round trip rate
of sl3 between Chicago and Minneapolis Is
for the meeting and three of the lines be-
tween Chicago and Minneapolis say they
will not agree to the rates nor recognize
them in any way. The Great Western on
the other hand, has declared that it will
accept the rates and has invited all of the
roads Of the Central Passenger association to
route business over its line. The roads
which are members OF the Westeren Passen-
ger association say that the action of the
Great Western is a violation of the recent
agreement made by the executive officers
OF the Chicago st. Paul roads to maintain
rates; and the Great Western says 1t Is meet
ing wel-defined competition and has gwen
notice Of the rates 1t intends to make, and
that II therefore cannot be cutting the rates
or ignoring the agreement. In this stand il
is upheld by some OF the roads which are
members OF the Western Passenger aeso-
citation, but with those who differ from the
Great Western there is much feeling and
the chances are bright for a fight IL the
matter is not speedily adjusted.

there were few large brick buildings IL

Drift Still Runs Toward burgess of
0ttumva for Governor.


DES MONIES, June 21.-(Special Tele-
gram Not in years have the preliminaries
to a state convention aroused the interest
displayed in advance Of the silver alliance
convention that will meet Wednesday. To-
night the hotels are crowded and tomorrow
forenoon will find a majority Of the dele
gates to all three conventions-democratic,
populist and silver republcans-on the
ground. The details of the fusion are all
to be agreed on. Nothing more definite has
been decided than the most general idea
of a consolidation. The manner has not
been agreed on and will be decided only after
a long conference Of representatives OF the
three parties.
There are but two real questions before
the gathering One is who shall be nomi-
mated for governor; the other and larger one
is, shall the Temple amendment demanded
by railroad employees and organized labor
be called for by the platform The rail-
| roads have a strong lobby on hand TO op-
| pose putting the amendment in the plat
| form and the Sixth and Eighth congress
sional districts have been organized against
| it by the representatives OF the Chicago,
! Burlington & Quincy railroad but despite
| these efforts the delegatee from these dis
| tricts say they will control both caucuses
| in favor of the measure. On this subject the
| only fight is being made in the democratic
| convention. II is conceded that the popu-
| lists and silver republicans will endorse it
amendment would be slap al all the dem
| ccratic members Of the state senate except
| one Six of the seven democrats in the
senate voted against the amendment last

! two years ago chairman Of the state com
/ mittee. was defeated in his own county con
| vention Saturday on this issue. He had
openly advocated making no reference &c
the Issue in the platform and the resu!
was that the convention adopted a strong
| resolution instructing the delegation to vote
for plank favoring the amendment
| The nornination for governor is as uncer
tain as ever. The great majority of demo
Gratis prefer Boies. although Fred z. Whit
has the greatest number OF instructed dele
gates. ]. r. Burgess OF ottumwa is gain
ing strength and Boies ~eeems TO be losin:
it on account of the opposition of the popu
lists who say he is not good enough sill
yer man. and of many democratic enthu
siasts on this issue, who make the sam
assertion. John F. Leach of Mount Pleasant
II. L. Williams of Primghar, and s. II
Baohor OF Waterloo are all candidates, eacl
with considerable following. White seem
more acceptable to all three elements thai
any other candidate, but there is also NOR
bitter opposition to him than to any othe
candidate. because it is said he is too muc!

1t is generally agreed that there shall! b
no reference to the liquor question in tn
