Arrtvnl nt IJiickiiirh!ini"Tiimtil tuous liojnlty. Lomlon, June 21. The queen came to London this morning ttom Wlnds-or. The uenthei was fair arid warm. An Immense crowd gathered near Paddington station euily this morning to receive hei The early hours were enlivened by the pealing of bells and In the morning bieeze everywhere lloated the royal standard. The first point of interest in the day's proceedings was Windsor, wheie by 6 o'clock the short route leading fiom the castle to the Great Western railway station, was lined by a mass of people gathered to see the queen stait. Flags and flowers were eveiy where and the order of the day, "God Sava the Queen," nppeared on houses and hanneis without end. The statue of the queen near the castle was decoiated and goigeously canopied In the Renaissance style and tall Vene tian masts with their lluttering pen nons lined both sides of the route. The queen left the castle at noon by the sovereign's entrance, facing the Long Walk, and traversed part of the streets of Windsor on her way to the railroad station. Her carriage was drawn by a pair of grays, with pos tilions and outriders. The queen was accompanied by her eldest daughter, ex-Empress Frederick, of Germany, and by Prince Christian of Schleswlg-Hol-steln, and Prince Henry of Batten berg, who occupied another carriage, preceding that of her majesty. The queen, on arriving at the railway sta tion, walked through the private wait ing room, leaning on the arm of an In dian attendant, and, by sloping gang ways, entered her saloon carriage. The station was beautifully decorated In honor of the occasion in scarlet and gold, flowers in bloom and tall plants. The queen was received by the directors of the railway station. "The Queen's Train" used for the first time today was drawn up close to the entrance door. The magnificent engine, "Queen Empress," beautifully painted and picked out with gold leaf, carried the royal aims emblazoned In gold and col ors In front and royal heraldic devices over the splashboards of the driving wheels. The train wus composed of six carriages built on the American corri dor system. TUMULTUOUS LOYALTY. Throughout the route was lined by an immense assemblage. Every win dow had Its occupants, every roof Its sightseers, every available space in the street and squat e, sidewalk and gar dens, the paths and chairs, and even the trees.and railings of the parks were black with loyal humanity. The queen drove slowly to gratify her people. Her face everywhere loosened the voice of the multitude. In unrestrained strength the tumultuous expression of loyalty and affection broke forth. Volleys of cheers rose clearly above the constant roar of acclamation. Nearing Piccadilly the queen saw for the first time the conspicuous evidence of what had been prepared for the morrow. The grim, grey walls of Ape ley House were gone in a profusion of decoration, the grand stand at the side and front of It, garlanded with flowers, flags, and mottoes, stood crowded with some' of the queen's nobility, no less exuberant in their welcome than that from the packed ";!,,Slndow8 and roof of St. George's hos pital and the stands In front, full of thfc queen's commoners. ThVrough Burton's Gate the jueeit passedL on to the garden entrance of Buckimgham palace, always between living lawes of her subjects, always tha object of Wdless ho mage and salvoes of cheers! which continued until the gates hadlBhut the queen from view. ARRIVAL AT BUCKINGHAM. Next tfl Paddington the crowds se lected Buckingham Talace as the most Interesting point to view the proceed ings, as the gathering of the envoys and the Indian orncera invited to lun cheon, to be afterward presented, had already begun at noon. Many were the speculations relative to the identity of the bejeweled and decorated officers as they drove up In royal carriages or In hansoms, whose drivers Voro cockades and hnadges on their left arms with thp letter "V. R " embroidered In . gold. A clumber of Americans, armed with kodoics, had stationed themselves opposite tne palnco gate, and some body in the crowd shouted: "Now, Yanks, three cheers for your mother!" raising a rour of good humored laugh- r On the right of the palace gateway the Duchess of Connaught and her children- and some of the Batenbergs awaited tha arrival of Her Majesty. A few minutes before 1 o'clock a roar of cheering In the distance announced the approach of tho queen, and the cheering; grew to a deafening storm of applause as tho sovereign reached the vicinity of the palace All the special envoys presented their letters with the lowest obeslance. The queen took each latter and smilingly addressed two or three sentences of thanks nnd compliments to each en voy. Mr. Held was received In tho most cordial manner possible. Her majesty expressed her sincere thanks to President McKlnley and to "the great nation of our kinsmen." Queen Victoria looked very well In deed, and seemed to be entirely pleased and interested In everything. She Im pressed all the envoys with the sin cerity of her thanks for the national compliments paid to her. The crowds remained about the palace until a late hour, watching the comings and goings of the many notabilities. The Prince nnd Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of York, on returning to Marlborough house, were received with roars of cheers. The children of tho Duchess of York occupied seats on the garden wall of Clarence house. Their Identity was soon discovered, and for hours the gar den wall was the Mecca of crowds of enthusiastic women and thousands of nurses and children. THE QUEEN WELL AND PLEASED The queen was dressed In black and bowed slowly, right and left, to the loyal greetings of her subjects. She looked pleased, did not wear spectacles and was not more tired than any lady of her age might be expected to be. the Empress Frederick, who sat beside her majesty, was also dressed In black. Princess Christian and Princess Hen ry of Batenberg sat opposite the queen and the empress. Princess Chtlstlan wore a lilac costume and Princess Hen ry of Battenberg was dressed in black. Two Scotch gillies rode behind tho carriage. So soon as It entered the palace yard, the carriage passed di rect to the quadrangle, Princess Henry of Battenberg waving her hand, ns she passed, to her children who, with tho Duchess of Connnugh saluted ner ma jesty amid an enthusiastic renewal of the cheering nnd the waving of hand kerchiefs, etc. The guards then paraded In the pal ace yard, and the Duke of Connaught, who arrived soon afterward, was warmly cheered. On entering the pal ace yard the Duke saluted the Duchess and the children was then saluted by the Life guards as they rode off. The queen, as soon as she entered the palace, proceeded to her private apart ments for luncheon and tho royal and other guests had lunch In the state supper room. Levee dress was worn, and the suites, who were also In levee dress, had luncheon in the garden and the vestibule. The queen received the imperial and royal envoys In the Bow drawing room of Buckingham at 1 o'clock this after noon. United States Special Envov Whitelaw Reid, Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A.; Rear Admiral J. N. Miller, U. S. N., and the other members of the United States Special Embassy reached the palace a few minutes after two o'clock. They all wore evening dress, .with the exception of the American of ficers, and the simplicity of their at tire was in marked contrast with the brilliancy of the uniforms around them. The American party, except Mr. Reed, was received by the Master of ceremonies and was conducted by the queen's equerries to a marquee In the gardens, where lunch was served. Mr. Reid was escorted to the state supper room. He was received by the Prince of Wales In the most cordial manner. PRESIDENT'S LETTER. Washington, June 21.

London, June 21. .The house of com mons was crowded today when the first lord of the treasury and govern ment leader, A. J. Balfour, moved, and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the Liberal leader, seconded, an address of congratulation to the queen upon the sixtieth anniversary of her accession to the throne. John Dillon, chairman of the Irish parliamentary party,' pro tested in vehement language. He ex plained that the attitude of himself and his party was that they would not vote In favor of any amendment, but would vote against the ndoptlon of the address, In which the Irish could not share. John Redmond, tho Parnelllte leader, amid laughter from the Con servatives and Unionists, moved an amendment to the address and caused an animated scene. Mr. Redmond pro tested against Great Britain's rule In Ireland, and asked the house to adopt an amenament to the effect that It deemed It to be Its duty to place on record that during the sixty years of her majesty's reign Ireland has suf fered grievously from famine, depopu latlon, poverty and the continued sus pension of constitutional liberties, with the result that tho Irish are discon tented and disaffected and unable to Join In tho celebration.

BLAIR ILL. New Jersey's Multi-Millionaire Is Grow ing Weaker Dally The End Seems Near. Blalrstown, N. J., June 21. New Jer sey's most celebrated millionaire, John I. Blair, is dying. He has been In 111 health for many weeks, and It Is thought that the end may come at any time. The romance of Mr. Blair's life began In 1802 on a farm two miles below Bel vldere, N. J., on tho banks of the Delaware. One would not look to see a man carve out a fortune of $60,000,000 in that sylvan neighborhood. But the opportunity was there. All that It needed was the man. He came of Scotch stock. He loved to talk about the ancestors who "fought for the Covenant." He was proud of the fact that they were forced to leave Scotland on account of their religion and to sail for New Jersey In 1740 In search of that religious lib erty for which so many other banished ones crossed the seas. The family were living In Beaver Creek when an event of great Import ance happened to the future railroad king: He earned his first dollar. When he was yet so young that he did not like to tell his age Blair be came a commanding personality in the district. He got the office of postmas ter. He established branch stores in the country round about and brought his numerous brothers from the farm to take charge of them. Some of his brothers were also shrewd fellows and became highly successful, but none had the genius of John I. He saw money In banking and estab lished the Belvldere bank, of which he has been president or vice president for sixty years. He bought a cotton mill at a low figure and turned a financial failure Into a success. He went to work to secure a charter for a rail road from Scranton to Great Bend. He got it and the road was built. It was called Leggett's railroad. From that Infant sprang the giant of today, the great Delaware, Lackawan na and Western, with Its wealth of coal and its fine passenger business. ANTI-LYNCHING LEAGUE FORMING. Negroes of Kansas Inaugurate an Im portant movement. Kansas City. Mo., June 21. The col oted people of Kansas are gteatly wrought up over the numerous lynch lngs of coloied men in various states, and a call will at once be isbued, sign ed by many prominent colored men of this state, for a convention to be held at Topeka July 20 for the organization of a Kansas antl-lynchlng league. W. A. Bcttls, of Wichita, editor of the National Reflector, the organ of the colored Americans of the southwest, Is the prime mover in the proposed or ganization. The plan as outlined by him Is to organize antl-lynching leagues among the colored men in every county in Kansas, which will throw their Influence to that party and those candidates who pledge themselves to oppose the lynching of negroes. In some counties in Kansas the col ored vote Is small, but In the "black belt" In the eastern part the negro Is a very Important political factor. Mr. Bettls has been In correspondence with all the coloied leaders in Kansas, and they are a unit in favor of the estab lishment of antl-lynchlnsr leagues. B00TILTUCKER MAY GO TO-JAIL.

His Record, Mnuy Years Ago, Shows He Favored Fee Culm. New York, June 21. It Is reported here that Spain will resent tho ap pointment of General Stewart L. Woodford as minister. The reason for these beliefs is based on the fact that General AVoodford raised his voice 27 years ago at a meeting held In Cooper Union under the auspices of the Cu ban league. The subject of tho meeting was to help Cuba In the war she was then waging against tho mother coun try. Spain was denounced in unmeasured terms at that mpetlng, and General Woodford said some things that he might have left unsaid had he been able to look Into the future and see .himself in the position he now expects to assume. He then practically predicted that If tho war 'then In progress the war that came to be known In history later as "tho ten years' war" should fall to win freedom for Cubans the pres ent war would be fought, and that Cubans must fight on until they were finally free, CHEAP LIVINa PROBLEM SOLVED.

Mr. Debs explained at length the alms and purposes of the co-operative commonwealth. A colony should be sent to Washington, from which place he said an official Invitation had been received. After establishing the colony he would secure control of he politics of the state and start the co-operative commonwealth. "The flist thing we would do after getting control," he said, "would be to call a special session of the legislature. Then we would call a convention to revise the constitution and get all the rot out of it. We will have control of the taxing power nnd can tax syndicates and landmarks out of the state. TAXED ACCORDING TO MEANS. Persona shall be taxed accordlnr to their means and shall have according to their needs. We will have trusts, nothing but trusts in our state, but we will nil be In the trust. The operatives will not work twelve or fourteen hours a day, but four or five. Wo will be In the field in 1900 with a new party. These men who represent the new life are going to unite as if by magic for the overthrow of commercialism and the establishment of the co-operative commonwealth by which the brother hood of man will become a fact. I do not know whether this question will be .solved peaceably or otherwise. I hope peaceably. But I am one of those who believe In getting ready for any solution that may be necessary." Mr. Debs said that in setting up the co-operative commonwealth in Washington, the colonists might be running against the supreme court. He would consult good lawyers and learn just what the rights of the colonists were. "We want to know our rights," he said, "and make them the rebels. If they send the military to Invade our rights then there will be an army of 300,000 patriots on the state line to meet them on that Issue." SQUAW A RICH MAN'S BRIDE.
