Happy Ceremonies mt Amsterdam Be-
fore WiIheImina's 100000 Subjects.


AMSTERDAM, Sept. 5-Beginning at
early dawn to-day large crowds gathered
in the streets which were lavishly deco
rated, in anticipation of the entry of Queen
Wilhelmina. The weather was bright, and
trains from the provinces brought thou
sands Of visitors TO the city. The stands
which had been erected along the route of
the procession were packed early as was
also the Dampatz. The route to the royal
palace was lined by thirty-five working
mems unions and eleven military associa-
tions, the latter comprising veterans of
1S90-a and other retired soldiers to the num-
Der of 5000. The Damplatz, the high bridge
over the Amstel, the principal canals and
the streets through which the Queen passed
we're adorned with festoons and triumphal
arches. A striking feature In this was a
representation of Admiral De Ruyter's old
flagship. the Peace. All the houses sur
rounding the Damplatz were literally en-
shrouded with gay draperies and natural
flowers.
Queen Wilhelmina arrived from The
Hague at the railway depot in Amsterdam
at o'clock and was enthusiastically re-
ceived. The burgomaster delivered an adj
dress of welcome, to which her Majesty re-
looking forward to this moment, which is
the most solemn of my life." The Queen
then briefly addressed the various bodies
assembled to welcome her. The burgomas-
Ier's daughter presented her Majesty with
bouquets of orange flowers tied with mauve
ribbons. The entire court, in carriages, par
ticipated in the procession to the palace. A
guard of honor composed of generals es-
corted the royal coach. General Damonceau
was thrown from his horse.
After Burgomaster Van Den Hovan, gov
ernor of the province of Northern Holland,
had offered the PROVINCES homage, in the
course of his speech referring to the ties
that for more than three centuries had
bound the province and the house of
Orange the Queen replied briefly, saying:
II am happy that this great day has ar
rived
Six hours before Queen Wilhelmina's ar
rival 100000 people had assembled in the
streets and around the palace. Her Majesty
appeared at 1886 o'clock p. M, preceded by
thirty divisions, including representatives
of the army and navy, governmental and
municipal officials and princes from Hol-
lands East Indian colonies, who came here
expressly to witness the enthroning of the
young Queen.
The royal coach was of white, orna-
mented with gold and drawn by eight black
horses. Queen Wilhelmina, who looked pale
and tired, bowed and waved her handker-
chief continually. In front of the palace
the army and navy were drawn up in the
form of great square. The coach passed
along the four sides of the square before
drawing up at the entrance to the palace.
A few moments later Queen Wilhelmina ap-
peared on the balcony and bowed repeatedly
to the $4,000 people who approached the pail
ace, waving handkerchiefs, hats and flags.
Meanwhile many bands were playing ma
tional airs chimes of bells were ringing
and steam whistles shrieking their salutes
to the young sovereign.

LABOR STRIKE At MANILA
AMERICAN CUSTOMS QUICKLY INTRO
DUCED IN PHILIPPINES.
First Insurgent Newspaper in Span

Troops Likely TO Sail.

MANILA, Philippine islands, Sept. d
There have been several labor strikes here,
the demand being for excessive wages. Be
cause the American authorities in the early
exigencies of the situation here agreed to
the extravagant demands of laborers it has
been difficult to return to an equitable
basis. One of these strikes caused the sus-
pension of traffic on the tramways of Ma
Mia for three days. Copies of the new tariff
have been circulated here but it has not yet
been enforced pending the receipt of in
structions from Washington. 1t is esti-
mated that under the American tariff there
will be an average reduction of one-third as
compared with that of Spain. An insurgent
newspaper printed in the Spanish language
appeared here to-day.

Luxuries as Champae ne and Oysters.
The following extracts from a letter writ

ents in this city tell a very different tale
from those which fill the sensational news

there is very agreee BILE condition:
Camp conditions are about the same. ex-
cept that even more contributions of every
thing under the sun are coming in. The
World and the Journal New York; have
tried this week to see which could publish
the most sensational stuff about the camp,
and people come out here with an idea that
they will see dead and dying men lying
around everywhere, when really they can't
give away the delicacies they have prepared
and brought for them. l have got a touch
of indigestion myself from overeating at
supper. We had roast beef, potatoes, sweet
corn, stewed apples and milk, also bread
and butter, and. if you wanted it, coffee. In
most of the regiments boxes of fruit stand
in the commissary tent for any one who
wants to help himself, and the minute the
fruit gets stale out it goes, and two or three
more boxes are sent up from the station.
Do you wonder that we look with scorn
on cakes and sandwiches brought from New
York to save our lives?
The Sixteenth United States regulars,
many of whom were recruited in Indiana,

It was placed SHE'D. There was another
memorable incident while MacDonald's
black brigade was cautiously crossing the
field after the Dervishes had broken to dis
patch the wounded Baggaras-an imperative
duty owing to the custom of the Baggaras
to feign death and then deal a fatal blow
to the unwary enemy. The Dervishes re-
formed and with reinforcements made a
desperate rush upon an isolated camel corps,
believing they had it at their mercy. The
corps retired steadily without confusion.
MacDonald's brigade, assisted by the gum
boats, came TO the rescue and covered the
retirement of the camel corps by pouring
voIley after volley on the advancing Der
wishes. who, although their ranks were
terribly thinned, continued their desperate
advance. More Dervish reserves swept
down; the engagement became brisk and
general but the enemy was soon completely
routed.

WANTS TARIFF DECREASED.
Germany Makes a Demand and Is
Promptly Refused.

BERLIN, Sept 5.-The government,
through DIR. Won Holleben, German ambas-
sador to the United States. has demanded
that the same tariff decreases granted
France in the recent treaty shall be ac-
corded Germany, under the most favored
nation" clause. A strong reply by John A
Kasson. special reciprocity commissioner Of
the United States, refuting the claim, has
been presented to DR.. Won Holleben and a
copy of it has arrived here. America con-
tends that the most favored nation" clause
does not apply. Germany claims that the
treaty of 1923, whose terms include the
clause. Is still valid, as the United States
by silence, has agreed thereto, and that it
was not vitiated by the 'reaty of 1868 For

an opinion on the subject at present but

course of an interview, that the most ia

that it was doubtful whether the clause still
held. He also admitted that the German en-
