London. june le.--Iondon is IN the midst
Of suhllee fever. The streets arc impassa-
BILE, resemble a mixture Of carpenter shops
and county fairs. They are crowded WIN
cxeursionists from all parts Of England
who are coming in on special trains al
all stations, Everything seems 10 nave
been ham done and incompleicd' Many Oh
the decorations are already seedy from
two days storm. Nolhns, however
seems TO be lacking in enthusiasm unless
y is in the case Of the syndicate OF sreeu-
isto-s in Jubilee seats, who at all places
cxccp, ST. Paul's cathedral are accepting
any reasonable offer. The combined losses
Ct the four largest speculators exceed
100000 and on every hand are inquiries
as 20 where are the Americans" Consid-
cradle disgust and even resentment is ex-
messed at the fact that the Americans
have not bought up all the available seats
at the spectators prices.
Much sarcasm is directed against the
stAndholdcgs. Whistler, in Fridays Daily
Chronicle. has q sketch in which Nelson.
speaking from the TOP OF his monument
in Tra;algar square. IS supposed 10 say;
Boarded at last. England expects every
man to be ridiculous" In addition, st.
Martin is depicted as putting up sign
On his church, reading: 'PNtestant house

\ strange tale is vouched for by one
OF the London papers. II says that
wealthy member OF the aristocracy has
paid { 500 t$l750) for room on ST. James
street. lie is suffering % is ADDED, with

spend that night in the room referred to
and will witness the procession with his at
teudant. all other persons being excluded
from the room. For twenty seven years,
it is further stated. only two people have
seen his face. Tha unfortunate man drives
every night about London and on entoring
and leaving his carriage according to the
newspaper. he covers his head with a
hood.
A discordant motto OF the festivities Is the
shabby way In which the colonial soldiers
have been treated. Again and again va
ricus detachments have 3rcvCd Il; noon.
but have met with no utimation as TO
where they should go ana Icy found no
food ready for them whcn they finally
reached their barracks The scandal was
at last taken up ly the press especially
by the Fail Mall Gazette he Globe and
the Daily Mail, and the Prince of Wales
hin self brought the red tape officers to
their senses.
