buckingham Palace. They began arriv-
ing before noon and when they were al
lowed to take places at 1 o'clock a
double line had already been stretched
from the palace to the Horse Guards
parade and another from the palace
along buckingham Palace road to Vic
toria railroad station. The unusual
eagerneSS to reach the palace was due
to the hope of the debutanteS of being
received by the queen personally, as
generally her majesty only receives the
diplomats and the first few of the
general company and then turns over
the duty of receiving to one of her
daughters. The queens presence also
was the occasion for an unusually large
assemblage of the members of the di-
plomatic corps.
The great display of state carriages
and gorgeous liveries delighted the on
lockers. Neither the Prince of Wales
nor the Duke of York, attended the
drawing room but the Duchess of York
arrived shortly before 8 o'clock in a
drenching rain, which effectually dam
pened the enthusiasm of the crowds.
Inside the palace all the state apart
ments, including the ball room were
opened owing to the exceptional at
tendance.
Promptly at o'clock Queen Victoria
was wheeled from her own apartments
to the throne room, followed by the
other royalties and conducted by the
great officers of the household The
function then began.

ambassador presented Mrs. Alfred

of letters came a determination to join
their lot in the fortunes of war. They
were married and the young bride fol-
lowed her soldier husband to San Fran
cisco with the regiment Here the first
cloud fell across their honeymoon. The
officers were not permitted to have the
company of their wives on the trans

But the Kansas girl had pluck With
the wife of another officer, she became
a srowaway on the Indiana. and al
though the government tried to prevent
it, she jOurneyed as far as Honolulu on

BurBitt delivered his annual address
which evoked considerable applause
ITO the mistaken policy which led TO
the disastrous results of the campaign
of 1885, said President Burkitt, we
may trace the cause of all the conten-
tion and want of harmony which has
existed in reform ranks since that un-
fortunate hour, when a majority OF
our representative consented to go out
side the party to find candidate for
president.
Surely" continued he, mot a Demo-
crat or Republican at heart will contend
that the campaign of '96 should be dupli-
Gated"
President Burkitt aimed a shot at the
trusts and on expansion said:
''Populism while refusing to lower the
flag in the presence of an enemy on
earth would strike from the limbs of
American wor&ingmen the shackles of
industrial slavery before they engage to
emancipate the mongrel races of
strange and foreign lands"
