and the British Dominions Beyond the
Seas. Defender of the Faith. Emperor
Of India. Sharply at the stroke of 8
four heralds, arrayed in medieval uni
forms of scarlet, heavily braided with
gold. mounted the balcony of friary
court at st. James Palace, where
Queen Victoria presented herself to the
people upon the opening Of her mem
orable reign, and blew a fanfare
through their long silver trumpcts.
The palace by this time was sur
rounded by great mass Of people,
many Of whom could secure only the
briefest glimpse of the proceedings.
The balconies and roofs of the ancient
palace. which chad been draped with
red cloth, were reserved for the nota-
bles, all OF whom were In the deepest
mourning. Members of the royal house,
hold, the ministers and their wives
and high officers Of state. all in brill
liant uniforms. were gathered around
the court.
The heralds having concluded their
duties. the ohicers Of arms, chief Of
whom Is the Duke Of Norfolk, the
hereditary earl marshal and chief but.
Ter Of England, took their places on
the balcony forming the great herald

sion. Sir Alfred Scott Scott-G atty,
garter principal king of arms. with
the Duke of Norfolk and two officers
bearing the slaves of office. stepped to
the front Of the balcony, and in voice
which could be heard across the court
and in the streets adjoining, read the
proclamation, while great throngs
stood uncovered in a drizzling rain.
The Duke and Sir Alfred then called
for three cheers for the King, and the
people responded with fairly deafening
hurrahs, which were silenced only by
the temperance Of the heralds, who
sounded another fanfare. The last note
hardly had died away when the band
of the Coldstream Guards, which had
taken up position in the square,
struck up God Save the King" As
the national anthem was concluded
the first gun Of the battery In st.
James Park belched forth royal ga
lutte, and the people In the square and
streets at the same moment took up
the refrain. God Save the King"

was walking along the railroad track

judged from this that the force Of the
explosion was such that none Of the

The Palos mines have been worked
for a number Of years and the entries
were extensive. It Is thought that the
explosion was caused by the accumu-

CHICAGO.

R. G. Dun 6 Co.'s weekly review OF
Chicago trade says:
The current developments in the
course of trade exhibit further irregu-
larity and the progress made is slow
err than expected The record Of trad
ing defaults is seen to be comparative
ly low, but the volume of solvent pay
ments through the banks is only q
small percentage better than year
ago.
Money is more costly for business
purposes and strike settlements are
not obtained promptly, although the
most serious danger to transportation
is averted by higher wage CONCESSIONS.
Other difficulties which are hurtful
appear in coal mining and building
industries. Another handicap Is the
delayed return Of seasonable weather.
This adverse feature operates against
successful dealings in the leading re-
tail lines and outside construction.
THE distributive branches of gem
eral merchandise move unevenly.
Fashionable apparel is still in moder-
ate request and stocks Of spring goods
are not reduced equal to expectations.
The advent of warmer weather will
bring about the desired improvement.
In wholesale branches the bookings
are fair for summer and fall lines of
dry goods, silks. footwear, millinery,
clothing and furniture.
