DISTRIBUTED BY THE KING
Medals Presented to Troops Re
turned From South Africa.
Three Thousand Men Receive TrO-
phies for Good Service-The First
Goes to Earl ROberts-A Great
Demonstration by the Multitude

Demonstration by the Multitude.
LONDON, June 12.-There was a
great demonstration here today, when
King Edward distributed medals to
three thousand troops that have re-
turned from service in South Africa
on the Horse Guards parade In anlici-
patton Of the event, thousands had
gathered, and the greatest enthusiasm
was displayed by the multitude.
The presentation of the first medal,
which went to Earl Roberts, comman-
der-in-chief Of the forces, was the sig
nal for an outburst that lasted for a
long time
Queen Alexandra and Princess Vic
toria appeared to be greatly interested
in the proceedings They sat in chairs
just behind the King during the cere-
monies
The long line of men that passed be
fore the sovereign to receive their
badges for honorable service was q
somewhat picturesque one, and includ-
ed recruits from nearly all classes Of
the people. There were many who some
time ago returned to civil pursuits, uni
formed policemen. ard others
Some Of those who have gone back to
peaceful occupations wore frock coats
and carried silk hats, while others were
attired in weIi-worn tweeds and carried
4erbies- Many Of them walked with a
. perceI.uble limp, many bore marks of
: battle, and a large number were minus
an arm
The demonstration for these men was
heartfelt, and must have partially rec
onpensed them for the hardships un-
dergone during their service in the
Boer war.
The distribution was finished at I
o'clock After Earl Roberts came Lord
Miner. Of Cape Town; Sir Godfrey
I.agGen, Commissioner of Natives in
the Executive Council of the TransvaaI,
and Earl Roberts staff officers
Next came the foreign military at
/ taches who were with the British forces
in South Africa, including Capt Her
( bert Slocum, who represented the Unit
ed States. Then followed 200 officers.
