ed for the last week was succeeded,
yesterday, by more subdued although
not less impressive, public demon
STATIONS of thankfulness for the re-
turn of peace in South Africa.
The Thanksgiving services held in
London yesterday were typical of the
services held throughout the empire,
but the presence of King Edward and
other members of the royal family at
the principal devotional service in
London and the progress of the royal
personages to and from st. Paul's
cathedral through cheering thou
sands of British subjects and visitors
in London gave Thanksgiving day in
the metropolis the added feature of
a notable historic occasion.
The programme of the morning
was not intended to be accompanied
by special ostentation. King Edward
and Queen Alexandra did not pass
through the streets even in semi
state, but rode to st. Paul's in an or
binary landau drawn by four horses,
accompanied by postillions and out
riders clad in scarlet TUNES. Only
those members of the royal family
who reside in Buckingham palace ac-
companied their majesties. The
prince and princess of Wales and
others proceeded to St. Paul's sepa-
rately, but by the same route as did
their majesties. The king and the
queen were joined at the cathedral
by the prince and princess of Wales
and many other distinguished per-
sonages.
Although the weather was chilly,
the streets for the entire distance
from the palace to the cathedral,
were thickly lined with people who
barred their heads and cheered as the
members of the royal family and 9TH
er notabilities passed. King Edward,
who wore the uniform of a field mar
shall, was greeted with enthusiasm,
and his majesty, the prince of Wales,
and the other princes were busily
engaged in acknowledging saluta-
tons from the crowd. Lord Roberts
who drove with his wife and daugh-
tiers, was one of the figures most con-
spicuously greeted with cheers. The
royal personages were driven down
the Mall to Trafalgar square, and
through the Strand and Fleet street.
At Temple Bar, officials of the eli,
of London, for the first time since
the jubilee of Queen Victoria, await
ed the sovereign in state. The kings
carriage was stopped when itreached
the city officials, and tie lord mayor
of London, Sir Joseph C. Dimsdale,
presented the sword of the city to
his majesty and uttered a formal well
come. The king returned the sword
smiled, bowed and simply remarked:
THANK you very much"
The streets leading to St. Paul's
cathedral were densely crowded with
people, and a number of persons
tainted in the crush outside the bar
riers, which had been erected within
the cathedral.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
alighted at the west entrance of st.
Paul's. Here they were received by
the bishops of Stepney and London
and conducted by them to their seats,
which were under the dome of the
building and directly in front of the
pulpit.
These gentlemen, in their dark
clothes, formed a sombre group in
the great gathering in which the uni
forms Of officials, the costumes of
ladies and white SUPPLIES were con-
spicuous features.
Members of the house of lords and
members of the house of commons
were seated on opposite sides under
the dome.
Their majesties entered the cathe-
dral to the accompaniment of the
hymn, Coward Christian Soldier"
by the organ and choir, and the
throng of worshippers rose and
heartily Joined in the singing. The
cathedral organ was reinforced with
horns and other instruments. A no.
table feature of the musical service
was the rendition of a tie deum COM
posed by the late Sir Arthur Sulli-
van for a thanksgiving peace service.
Following the thanksgiving col
lects, and at the request OF King
Edward, the hymn, 90, God, Our
Help is Ages Past" was sung to the
tune of "Old Hundred"
The sermon by the bishop of
stepney was short and simple, and
preached on the effective text: "The
Blessings of Peace"
The service was concluded with the
singing of the national anthem.
Governor Davis CnIcimined.
Little Rock, Ark, June 9.-Gov. JEFF
ferson Davis yesterday accepted the
invitation of the Baptist church of
Russellville, his home, and rejoined
that church. The governors friends
claim that this is a vindication of
him by his home people against the
action of the Second Baptist church
of Little Rock, in withdrawing fell
lowship from him. 1t is alleged fur
ther by the governors friends that
the action taken by the Little Rock
church was the result of resentment
for the part he took in the race for
United States senator.
