BANQUET TO
DIGNITARIES
KING AND QUEEN ENTERTAIN AT
BUCKINGHAM PALACE LAST
NIGHT.
Historic Plate and Table Decorations
in Evidence and Feast Is One
Of Royal Splendor Through
out.


London, June 2O--The most regal
banquet of king or emperor ever wit
nessel and gorgeous Shakespeareap
ball under the auspices of noted So
ciety leaders stand forth as shining
features of the second day of corona
ton week
The banquet in Buckingham palace
tonight was scene of imperial grand
eur, so far as the assembly of royal
and eminent personages, the setting
of costly magnificence ami beautiful
decorations could combine to make it.
The king and queen entertained tle
visiting and English royalties, all the
special foreign delegations, the for
eign ambassadors and ministers, the
officers of state and the household
the members of the cabinet and for
mer cabinet members, the heads of
the church and judiciary and of the
army and navy.
The two largest apartments in the
palace, the ball room AMI the picture
gallery, which adjoin, were utilized as
a banquet hall.
On the tables was displayed ule
royal gold plate used only on historic
occasions, the cost of which is estl-
mated at $15,0O0,O00 and the weight,
eight tons.
This plate for the most part was col
lected in the reign of the four Georges
and the principal piece captured in one
of the Indian wars is a massive pea
cock, whose tail is studded vita dia
monds. Cut glass worth fortune,
ivory decanters, hundreds of years OLD
and old wines dating back more than
a century were on the board.
Events of the day included lunch
cons to the dominion premlers and
mayors, party by the Duke and
Duchess OF Devonshire and review
OF the colonial troops by War Secre-
tary Haldane.

as nearly to carnival spirit as Englis1-
men ever could be.
Countless electric globes arranged
into various designs illuminate the

SAYS ALL WE EVER GOT FROM
ENGLAND WAS AT POINT OF

Attacks Reciprocity Measure and Calls
Forth Sharp Reply from Senator
Bacon Amendments Of
fered.

Washington, June Statements
| In the senate by Senator Hepburn, OF
Idaho, that whatever we have taken
from England has been taken at the
point of the bayonet" produced the
only tense moment OF todays short
debate on the Canadian reciprocity
bill.
Senator Heyburn's remark, whica he
later explained extended only to gov
ernmental acquisitions, was challenged
by Senator Bacon, of Georgia, as a
grave matter" in view of the pend
ing arbitration negotiations with En-
gland
I'VE have more to enjoy that we
have received from England than from
all the rest of the world put together"
said Senator Bacon.
Senator Galllnger brought on the
controversy by asking il this nation
did not owe more to England in the
way of reciprocity than it did to Can
ada, because of free trade market
taat England had always given to this
country and the rest of the world.
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, de-
elared that his only hope of benefit
from the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment was that it might lead to an
nexation of Canada. He met Senator
Gallinger's argument that reciprocity
ought to be given to Mexico and all
other nations If given to Canada, by
saying that this country could not
aope to annex the rest of the world.
Canadian annexation at this time
is an irridescent idea," said Senator
Gallinger, who is a Canadian by birth.
~ am convinced" said Senator Gal
linger, that when this bill passes
there are many republicans on this
side who will join democrats in kick
ing out the foundation stones of he
protective tariff system. We viii be
fortunate II the whole structure of
protection does not fall"
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
renewed his argument today that tle
reciprocity agreement as it stands is
not reciprocal on wood pulp and paper
ami that the Root amendment Is nee
aroarv to earract ~
This amendment has been offered
in no spirit of hostility to the bill,

think it will make tae agreement bet
ter and stronger.
! intend to vote for the reciprocity
measure because | think in the long
run it will draw the United States
ami Canada closer together"
Senator Cummins today introduced
number of amendments to tle bin
which were calculated to enlarge the
list of articles that will be admitted
free from Canada.
