Honor TO our Naval Heroes

London, May 2o.-(Copyrighted, 1892 by
the Associated Press).-SoCially the week
has been the busiest Of the year. Queen
Victoria's visit to London gave it neces-
sary enlivening. The ceremony of laying
the foundation stone of the South Ken
sington museum proved a highly success
full pageant and gave the people here an
opportunity to indulge in great loyal
demonstration, while the state ball on
Thursday evening gathered all the high
est in the land at Buckingham palace. 1t
was most brilliant function. The Prince
of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught, Prince and Princess Christian,
the Duke and Duchess of York, the Duke
and Duchess of Fife, the Duke Of Cam
bridge and the crown prince of Siam,
were among those present. The dancing
commenced at II o'clock in the magniti-
cent saloon and continued until day
break.
The approaching ceremonies at Wind
sor will be most interesting. Upon the
occasion of her birthday next Wednesday
morning, (Queen Victoria was born May
"a, 1919, her majesty will receive the
congratulations of her family and will
be serenaded in the grand quadrangle of
the castle by choir of 25O voices to
which the queen will listen from the room
overlooking the quadrangle. AT noon the
Scots fusileers guards will march past
the queen on the east lawn. The queen
will then be driven to castle hill and in
the evening "Lohengrin' will be given by
the opera company in the Waterloo
chamber. It is rumored that the queen,
in connection with her birthday will
again offer the Marquis of Salisbury a
dukedom, which he refused at the time
of her majestyfs jubilee.
The Prince of Wales has ordered his
racing cutter Britannia to be refltted as
early as possible, but it is not considered
likely she will be ready in time to be used
in test races against the cup challenger
Shamrock The Britannia will remain
cutter rugged and will compete in the
yacht racing during Cowes week.
Sir Charles Howard Vincent, conserva-
tive member of parliament for the GEN.
trail division of Sheffield struck a popu-
lar note in inviting a deputation from the
Seventh New York regiment to visit
England. He wrote to Col. Daniel Apple
ton recently asking him to send delega-
ton If possible to march with the West
minister volunteers in Hyde park when
the Prince of Wales will review all the
London troops on July 2. The Westmin-
ster Volunteers are enthusiastic over the
idea and it is evident they will be greatly
disappointed if the New Workers are un-
able to accept the invitation to the re-
view and arrange for a shooting match.
The Westminster volunteer regiment is
one of the strongest and finest volunteer
corps in Great Britain. A representative
of the Associated Press called upon Sir
Charles Howard Vincent who is the
prime mover of the scheme to get the New
Workers to visit England and who is in
tensely enthusiastic over the idea, He
said:
The invitation, though nominally from
my corps is from the nation and although
in my letter to Col. Appleton we limited
the invitation to the Seventh New York
regiment, we should like America to send
showing from all her regiments. A
great reception awaits her sons from re-
clasp between the two nations"
A representative Of the Associated
Press called at the war office and saw the
adJutant general, the Right Hon. Sir
Redver Deney Butler, who said the
scheme emanated with the officers of the
Westminster regiment He added:
I'VE, thus far, have had nothing to do
with the matter. but feel that no OBJ
stacle would be put to American soldiers
joining in the great march in July"
General Butler spoke very sympathetic
cally and it was apparent from his re-
marks that the American volunteers
could count upon a royal reception here
if they are able to send a representation
to England.
The navy league is organizing a great
demonstration in honor of Captain Ma
han, the naval representative of the
United States at The Hague peace con-
ference as recognition of his service
rendered to naval men. A committee has
been formed headed by Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford and admiral of the
fleet, the Earl of Clanwilliam, to arrange
the details. A banquet will be given to
Captain Mahan and the committee ex-
poets to have the highest and most rep
resentative British assembly to meet
him.
