King Edward i'm London.

London, Oct. 25.-Hardly more than
casual interest was taken in King Ed
wards visit to the City today. III G
decorations today were for the most part
those left over from the coronation. The
weather today was cold and cloudy.
Twenty-seyen thousand soldiers and
1000 police lined the route which the
king would take. There was but slight
enthusiasm among the waiting crowds
until the arrival of 600 sailors from the
Terrible. The sailors marched from the
station to Trafalgar Square where stand
had been erected and from this point
they watched the show. All along the
route the sea fighters were given rous-
ing ovation. The start of the procession
was announced by salute of Al guns
from Hyde Park. The procession con-
sisted of their majesties, escorted by
1000 troops. Eight other carriages
containing the other members of the
ROYAL household and attendants, brought
up the rear. The procession stopped
at Trafalgar Square, where the king
received addresses. The next stop was
made at Temple Bar, for the presenta-
ton of the City keys to his majesty.
Here the Lord Mayor and the Sheritis,
in scarlet and ermine, Joined the process
sion. A salute of 62guns was fired from
the tower, and the cavalcade proceeded
direct to Guildhall, where luncheon was
served. All along the route King Ed
ward and the queen were greeted with
great display of cordiality, and man
Hesitation of affection. The king APP
peared feshier than at any time since
his illness. He sat in his carriage in a
huddled up position, and while his eyes
missed nothing of the passing show, his
majesty moved himself as little as posi-
BILE.
Today is the anniversary of Balaklava
and the Light Brigade heroes were lined
up in front of the soldiers on Fleet street.
The red coated old men, some of them
hardly able to stand, attracted great at
tention. King Edward, in passing them,
bowed and touched his hat as special
recognition. The Boer Generals Botha,
De Wet and De Larey, occupied seats
in Trafalgar Square.
Among the diners at Guildhall were
the diplomatic corps, including Ambas-
sador Choate, and all the prominent
members of the government and opposi-
ton.
1t was announced at Buckingham
Palace, after the parade was over, that
the king had borne the strain of the day
extremely well.
Fire broke out in Guildhall, where Il e
luncheon to King Edward and his party
was given, at 3:45 this afternoon, just as
the last guest was leaving.
The fire started while the King and
his party were in the building. The
distinguished guests were out, however,
before it was known that blaze had
started, and there was accordingly no
panic.
The blaze originated in a remote part
Of the building, and was caused by the
extra pressure of gas for the illumina-
tons. Attendants of the building, not
waiting for the firemen to arrive, rush
ed into tie banquet hall, and removed
the silver, all of which was saved.
Before 5 O'Clock the fire was out.
The damage was confined to the roof
and tower. The damage by water, how
ever, was general throughout the build

ened early yesterday morning. Charles
Brown, city prisoner, picked the lock

Objected IN the Location.

London, Oct. 25.-George Martin, an
unemployed clergyman of the Church of
England, was arrested this morning near
st. Georges Church on the route taken
by the king from Buckingham Palace
to Guildhall. Near by was found a
bundle containing two pounds of black
substance resembling powder. Martin
objected to having the grand stand upon
consecrated ground, and with the gun
powder he had intended to destroy the
offensive structure. He had no designs
on the King, he says. The prisoner was
remanded for trial. Martin is supposed
to be insane, though he is described as
a good preacher and hard worker
among the poor. He had the powder
in his hand when arrested, and was try
ing to get under the stand for the pur-
pose of exploding it. The quantity he
had was not sufficient to do much dam
age. The arrest caused great excite
meut at the time as the crowd supposed
he intended to kill the king.
