London. March S--1he queen reached
Paddington station about 1880 o'clock
today and proceeded under a cavalry
escort to buckingham palace amid
scenes riyalling In enthusiasm those OF

STATIONS there predomInated a note OF
triumph and the cheers that made the
murky streets ring were almost as
much in honor OF the British victories
In South Africa as they were voeiferous
tributes Of loyal people TO a mon
arch whose womanly sympathy has
been striklngly shown since the war
began.
The royal partys departure from
Windsor was marked by more than us
ual interest. For hours before the
queen started for London crowds
gathered in the streets which had been
announced as her route through the
metropolis and which were decorated
with flags. 1t was foggy and cold but
no one seemed TO care.
At Paddlngton the station had been
cleared Of the general public, but out
side thousands OF people waited patient
ly. When the train from Windsor ar
rived at 1880 p. m. tremendous cheer
went up, Her majesty came down the
slopins platform leaning on the arm Of
turhaned Indian attendant, and en-
tered an open landau in which also sat
Princess Henry OF Battenberg, and
Princess Victoria OF Schleswig -Hol-
stein They ell wore black, and round
her neck the queen had a sable collar

From the packed sidewalks and from
every available window came a contin-
uous roar Of cheers, while hundreds OF
little flags were waved all the way TO
buckingham palace The side streets
were packed ten. twenty and sometimes
q hundred deep.
But Il was around the palace itself

ton TO the announcement OF the pro-

on the opportunity chosen for a royal
visit after a boycott so long and per-
sistently maintained"
The Daily Independent says:
The natlonallsts will have no other
desire but that her majesty should re-
ceive az the hands OF the IRISH a re-
spectful welcome due TO her exalted
station and her high personal charac-
ter.
