THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 28, 1902.
MEMORY OF MARTYR
Hay's Eulogy on McKinley
at the Capitol.
SPECIAL SERVICES IN HOUSE
Speech Delivered In the Presence of
President Roosevelt, Prince Hen
ry, Ambassadors, Member of
Congress sad Others.
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. At noon today,
in the hall of the House of Representa
tives, In the presence of President Roose
velt, Prince Henry of Prussia, the mem
bers of the Cabinet, the Judges of the
Supremo Court, the commanding Gen
eral of the Army and officers of the
Army and Navy who have received
the thanks of Congress, the Ambassa
dors and other diplomatic representatives
of foreign countries, the Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress, and a large num
ber of distinguished guests, the Hon.
John Hay, McKlnley's Premier, pro
nounced a eulogy upon his dead chief.
Four times before National memorial
services for Presidents who have died in
office have been held In this hall, two of
them, like this, in commemoration of
Chief .Magistrates who have fallen by the
hand of assassins. By a strange coinci
dence, today was the 20th anniversary of
that on which the peerless Blaine, in
the same hall, delivered his eulogy upon
the martyred Garfield, and stranger still,
the subject of today's memorial service
was the chairman of the committee that
had charge of the arrangements on that
occasion.
Only one year ago, less five days, at
the head of an imposing civic and mili
tary procession, McKinley passed triumph
antly along Pennsylvania avenue for his
second inaugural. Six months later the
tragedy occurred at Buffalo, and another
but different sort of procession tenderly
bore his body through the streets to the
rotunda of the Capitol, where the brief
funeral oration was delivered over his
coffin and the tributes of .the nations of
the earth about his bier bespoke the
universal sorrow. Today, once more, with
uncovered heads, the Nation paid its last
tribute of respect and publicly expressed
its loving grief.
Again the broad avenue was filled with
vast crowds as they were a year ago.
Then the streets were a sea of glittering
bayonets and waving plumes, and the air
was filled with the music of hundred
tongued resplendent bands. Today all
was changed. The procession was unor
ganized. No martial music lightened the
feet of the throng. No cheers rent the
air. The only pageant was the clattering
troop of cavalry escorting Prince Henry
and his party to the Capitol, and carri
ages here and there conveying officers in
uniform or diplomats In court costume to
the place where the eulogy was to be de
livered. That was the extent of the out
ward spectacle, for the panoply was one
for the mind and heart rather than for
the eye and ear.
Notwithstanding it was proclaimed In
advance that admission to the Hall of
Representatives and even to the Capitol
Itself was to be restricted to those hold
ing cards, the people congregated in un
numbered thousands about the great mar
ble pile upon the hill. While the ticket
holders besieged the great bronze doors
to the entrance of the rotunda and over
flowed the portico and steps leading to it,
nhe crowds were kept back by lines of
blue-coated police walled on the three
sides of the broad plaza in front of the
CapitoL. The only emblem of mourning at
the Capitol was the flags fluttering at
half-mast above the two wings and on the
great arching dome. This precedent in
the case of the Garfield exercises was
.followed closely.
The hall was without decoration of any
character. The red-coated Marine Band,
GO strong, was stationed In the corridor
which separated the hall from the rear
lobby of the House.
Crowd at the Capitol.
At 10 o'clock the doors were opened and
in five minutes the spacious galleries
surrounding the chamber were dense with
black rows of people. Even the aisles
were filled, but the crowding and jamming
which have marred 50 many state occa
sions today was averted, as the tickets
issued were limited strictly to the num
ber of seats provided. Only one was given
to each Senator and Representative, and
the gathering in the galleries was a most
distinguished one.
Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Roosevelt, Mrs.
Cowles, the President's sister, and Mrs.
Carcw, the President's sister-in-law, and
friends of the President, decupled the
President's gallery-
The fact that few of the ladles wore
bright gowns was especially noticeable.
They had attired themselves in dark cos
tumes befitting the occasion, and their
white faces were rendered distinct y
the eomberness of their apparel.
Gradually the members of the House
strolled in and took their places. The big
revolving chairs at the desks had been
removed, and smaller ones substituted in
order to increase the seating capacity on
the floor. In the area in front of the
Speaker's rostrum, heavy leather uphol
stered fautcuil had been placed -for the
accommodation of the President, Prince
Henry, the Cabinet, the General of the
Army and Justices of the Supreme Court.
The first two rows on the Democratic
side were reserved for the diplomatic
corps, and the four rows immediately
behind them for the members of the Sen
ate. The Governors of the states. Com
missioners of ,the District of Columbia, the
judiciary of the district, the heads of
departments and other Invited guests were
to sit back of the Senators.
At 11 o'clock the Marine Band began
the rendition of the musical programme,
which was as follows:
Overture;"Stabat Mater. Rossini
Paraphrase "Nearer, My God, to Thee"
Leneger
Intermezzo "Cavallerla Rustlcana"
Mascagnl
Song "Lead, Kindly Light"
Song "Lost Chord" Sullivan
"Largo" Handel
At 11:40, as the strains of the Inter
mezzo from "Cavallerla Rustlcana" floated
through the hall, there was a stir through
the room. The doors to the right of the
Speaker's rostrum were flung wide open,
and the members of the diplomatic corps
marched In .preceded by the sergeant-at-arms
of the House. The foreign Ambas
sadors appeared in somber frock coats
befitting the occasion, with the exception
of the Chinese Minister, who was attired
in his rich costume of silk. Lord Paunce
fote, the British Ambassador, who Is the
dean of the corps, headed the procession.
"With him were the Ambassadors of the
other powers, M. Cambon, of France:
Count Cassini, of Russia: Slgnor Mayo
Desplanchcs, of Italy, and Senor Asplroz,
of Mexico. Then for a time no special In
cident occurred, and those in the regular
galleries were afforded an opportunity to
examine the occupants of the specially
reserved galleries.
Just beyond the bronze rail that sepa
rated the diplomatic from the executive
gallery were the families of the members
of the Supreme Court and the Cabinet
and the invited guests of the President.
There also were a number of personal
friends of Secretary Hay, the orator of
the day. In the surrounding galleries
were many of the personal friends of the
late President, among them Colonel My
ron T. Herri ck, of Cleveland; W. A.
Lynch, of Canton: ex-Secretary of State
"William R. Day, and Colonel "Webb
Hayes, of Cleveland. These are only a
few of those .from all. quarters of the
Union who came to attend the memorial
exercises, but no member of the tame-
.dlate family of the late President, so far
as known, was in attendance. On the
floor were many ex-members of the
House, Senate and the Governors of sev
eral states.
As the hands of the gold clock opposite
the Speaker's rostrum pointed to noon.
Speaker Henderson called the assemblage
to order. The vast audience immediately
responded to his signal and arose to listen
to the brief prayer of the chaplain. Then
followed the usual routine of the opening
of a session of the House. The Journal
of Wednesday's proceedings was read by
the clerk in the customary droning
fashion. By the Speaker's direction the
clerk read the Journal resolution pro
viding for the memorial services and the
order of the proceedings.
The Speaker tapped three times with
his gavel. Soon afterwards the doorkeep
er announced the General of the Army.
The Speaker tapped three times, the mem
bers of the House and the diplomatic
body arose, and General Miles, resplend
ent in gold lace, gold epaulettes and a
broad yellow sash across his breast and
with his side arms clanging heavily at
his heels, led the way down the main
aisle. Admiral Dewey, who Is in Florida,
would have been with him had he been in
the city, but as it was the Lieutenant
General ot the Army alone and unattend
ed made his way to his place at the ex
treme right of the chairs reserved for
members of the court.
Arrival of Prince Henry.
Tap, tap, tap, and once more the as
semblage rose. The door swung open
and on tho threshold and with every eye
upon him stood Prince Henry between
General Grosvenor and Senator Foraker,
chairmen respectively of the House and
Senate committees.
'His Royal Highness, Prince Henry of
Prussia," announced the doorkeeper. The
Prince was dressed in the simple dark
blue uniform of an Admiral of the Ger
man Navy, without a single star or other
evidence of the imperial house to which
he belonged upon his breast. He carried
whites gloves and his flat naval cap In
his left hand. At his side hung a short
gold scabbard. Slender, but tall and com
manding looking, he towered above those
at his side. He came forward with easy,
graceful bearing, escorted by Senator
Foraker and General Grosvenor, and took
the place assigned for him next to that
reserved for the President. At the same
time the members of his suite, in their
showy uniforms, who had followed him
Into the hall, were ushered Into the seats
directly in the rear of those reserved for
members of the Senate.
The Prince wore a band of mourning
upon his left arm. This was not, how
even, in honor of the occasion, but was
the badge of mourning still worn by the
members of the German imperial family
for his dead mother, the Dowager Em
press of Germany. '
As soon as all had again been seated,
the Speaker's gavel once more brought
the assemblage to Its feet and the mem
bers of the Senate appeared, headed by
Senator Frye, president pro tern. The
Senators took their scats immediately in
the rear of the members of the diplomatic
corps.
Next the doorkeeper announced the
Chief Justice and Associate Justices of
the Supreme Court, and the stately and
dignified Judges, swathed In their black
robes and preceded by the marshal of the
court, came solemnly down the aisle. Jus
tice Gray, who recently has been stricken
with paralysis, was the only missing
member of the court. At this point the
Speaker yielded tho gavel to Senator
Frye, who was to preside.
Then came the President and mem
bers of his Cabinet and the Marine Band
struck up "Hall to the Chief." President
Roosevelt was accompanied by Secretary
Hay and followed by his aids. Colonel
Bingham, of the Army, and Major Gil
more, of the Marine Corps, each in full
uniform. The other members of the Cabi
net came in the wake of these uniformed
officers.
The President was attired in a black
frock coat with gray trousers, and wore
a mourning band of crape upon his left
arm. He took his place In the area facing
the Speaker's desk, with Prince Henry
upon his right. With tho latter he ex
changed a word of greeting. The mem
bers of the Cabinet, except Secretary Hay,
who was escorted to the clerk's desk im
mediately below the rostrum of the presid
ing officer, took their places to the right
of the Prince. Secretary Shaw and Sec
retary Wilson were absent.
Senator Frye then called the assem
blage to order, and after a fervent prayer
by Rev. Dr. Couden, the blind chaplain
of the House, he Introduced the orator of
the day. Secretary Hay.
As the Secretary began to read with a
slow, clear enunciation, he seemed aware
of the intense interest not alone of his
subject but of his own personality, as he
read his tribute of love and loyalty to his
departed chief. Secretary Hay is not a
finished orator in the strict acceptation of
the term, but today his voice had unusual
carrying power, and he was able to make
himself heard to the farthermost recesses
of the hall. The purity of style and depth
of thought of his composition fully com
pensated for whatever force was lacking
in his delivers'.
Throughout the delivery of the speech
the audience listened with great Interest,
but the peroration, coupling together as If
for all time the names of Washington and
Lincoln and McKinley, seemed especially
to impress the hearers, and as Secretary
Hay uttered the last solemn words the
spectators broke into a perfect storm 6f
applause, which lasted for several min
utes. The President himself seemed as
deeply inpressed as those about him, and
both he and the members of the Cabinet
were quite as enthusiastic as the re
mainder of the audience.
The benediction was offered by the Rev.
Dr. Milburn, and to the strains of "Lead
Kindly Light," played by the Marine
Band, the President and those about him
arose and quitted the hall. The mem
bers of the Supreme Court, Senate, diplo
matic corps and other bodies left In the
reverse order in which they had arrived.
As soon as all the visitors on the floor
had withdrawn, Speaker Henderson called
the House to order, and Payne moved
that as a further mark of respect the
House adjourn. The motion was carried
unanimously, and accordingly at 1:40 P.
M. the House was declared adjourned un
til tomorrow.

Entirely Without Foundation.
VIENNA, Feb. 27. The statement eman
ating from Sofia that 30 Turkish soldiers
had been killed and many wounded in a
conflict with Insurgents at- Igmunlca,
Macedonia, is entirely without foundation.
There is no such place.
A monument to Lieutenant Francois Gamier,
who explored Yunnan In 1BG0-GS, and In 1873,
has been erected at St. EUenna. His discov
eries and bis murder on the Red River led to
the French expedition to Tonkin and the estab-

HOPE LIES IN IRRIGATION
SECRETARY SHAW AT NATTOXAL
BUSINESS LEAGUE BANQUET.
One ef His First Public Specchea
Since Appointment to Hid Pres
ent Office.
CHICAGO. Feb. 27. Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw was the principal speaker
at the banquet of the National Business
League held tonight at the Auditorium.
His subject was "Commerce and Industries
of the West," and his utterances "were
received with much attention, it being ono
of the first public speeches made by him
since his appointment to his present office.
The ilrst set speech upon the programme
was by John W. Ela, of Chicago, who
spoke upon "The League." He described
at length the objects which the league
soughi to attain, declaring that 'its pur
pose is to keep the business men through
out the country informed as to legislation
affecting them and to concentrate their
influence on the promotion of measures
favoring business interests generally, as
distinguished from special interests, and
as far as possible to take business ques
tions out of politics."
Following Mr. Ela came Secretary Shaw,
who said in part:
"The only hope of a material increase
In agricultural products Is through Irrlga-

tion ot arid lands. There may be and
there are serious objections against the
employment of public revenues in such
ways as contemplate permanent National
participation in industrial or commercial
enterprises, but I see no objection to
some provision that will encourage private
capital to enter what may be made a most
inviting field, and it seems to me this
can be done in such a way as will place
these lands upon tho market at Govern
ment prices, plus the cost of irrigation,
and when paid for, permit the purchasers
to become co-operative owners of the irri
gation plants. I have little sympathy and
scant patience with the provincialism
which opposes any plan of developing any
portion of our common country, which has
Its root in the fear that it will create sec
tional competition.
"It ought not to bo necessary to quote
tho record to sustain the proposition,
though the record does sustain it, that we
are consuming an ever-increasing propor
tion of our agricultural products and ex
porting an over-Increasing proportion of
our manufactured products. Let every
Industrial be encouraged. Let every en
terprise be fostered; let every interest be
conserved, then shall we grow great and
symmetrical, and, growing great, shall pre
serve our industrial and commercial inde
pendence and thus become an ever-lncreaa-
Ing blessing to the world."
Harry A. Garfield, of Ohio, was warmly.
greeted when he arose to speak upon
"Reorganization of the United States Con
sular Service." The next speaker was
Henri Merou, French Consul in Chicago,
who dwelt briefly upon "Reciprocity With
France."
Judge C. J. Gavin, of New Mexico, spoke
upon "Reclamation of the Arid Regions of
the West." In concluding his address he
said:
"The West is especially fortunate in
having a man in the Presidential chair
who is thoroughly cognizant of its re
sources and possibilities, and, as he ex
pressed himself In his message to Con
gress,' Is thoroughly In favor of extending
Government aid to the redemption of tho
arid land, not as a favor to the West, but
as a part of a wise Governmental policy
In the development of the whole country.
President Roosevelt knows the West,
knows its moods and realizes that its ad
vancement and prosperity are dependent
upon the adoption, upon the part of the
Goverrment, of the policy we advocate."
The last speech of the evening was made
by Dr. William A. Harper, of the Univer
sity of Chicago, whose subject was "The
University In the Commercial World."
The following telegram was read:
"I regret exceedingly my inability to
accept the Invitation of the National Bus
iness League for its banquet tonight.
Please convey my cordial greetings .to
your guests, and accept my best wishes
for the success of the occasion.

BOERS DETERMINED ATTEMPT
Frustrated In Effort to Rash aa Oat
post Line.
LONDON, Feb. 27. An attempt made
by the Boers to rush the outpost line
near Bothasberg, Transvaal Colony, dur
ing the night of February 23, reported In
General Kitchener's dispatch yesterday,
was most determined. The Boers were
led by two well-known fighters Ross
Hands and Manle Botha. When the
Boers realized that their attempt actually
to break through the wire fences
was frustrated, they crouched beside the
cattle killed by the British fire and
with which the ground was thickly
strewn, and from that defense poured
a heavy fire on the British troops. The
fusillade was returned, and finally the
Boers were driven back, leaving 15 dead
and six wounded on the field.
They left also 160 dead or wounded
horses and the entire herd of 6000 head of
cattle.
Surrender oa Modified Terms.
LONDON, Feb. 27. The Colonial Secre
tary. Mr. Chamberlain, made an Interest
ing statement in the House of Commons
today to the effect that the proclamation
providing for thebanishment of the Boer
leaders did not preclude Lord Kitchener
or Lord Milner from accepting the sur
render of Boer leaders on modified condi
tions. Lord Kitchener, on his own au
thority, had already accepted the sur
render of some of the minor leaders, on
the understanding that the provision for
the banishment proclamation would not
be enforced.
REPUDIATE ROSEBERY.
Liberal Unionists Will Xot Enroll
Themselves Under His Banner.
LONDON, Feb. 27. Tho Liberal Union
ists, at the annual meeting of the Lib
eral Unionist Council today, definitely re
pudiated any desire to enroll themselves
under Lord Rosebery's banner. The Duke
of Devonshire, Lord President of the
council, who presided, declared Lord
Rosebery had done great service in dis
associating himself from the pro-Boer ele
ment, but the speaker failed to see how
the Liberal Imperialist party could offer
any inducements to the Unionists. Men
who refuse to play the game and Impar
tially blame others all around, whether
Kipling or Rosebery, would meet with
very scant sympathy. The country is not
disposed to follow the flag of statesmen
who quietly looked on while these new
guides of the Liberal party led It deeper
and deeper into the mire. He sympa
thizes with Lord Rosebery's offer to re
construct the party, but does not expect
his efforts to be attended with success.
In the meanwhile he believes the Union
ists will adhere to their own party.
The resolutions passed by the meeting
referred to the openly expressed hopes ol
the Rpseberyltes of getting Unionists re
cruits, and declared that these hopes are
quite groundless.
Anti-British Speeches in Reichstag
BERLIN, Feb. 27. Petitions were pre
sented to the Reichstag today suggesting
that the House take action for the fur
therance of peace negotiations in South
Africa. They were referred to the Im
perial Chancellor, Count von Bulow. Sev
eral members of the Reichstag Indulged
in unlimited vituperation of Great Britain,
asserting that the only possible explan
ation, of the refusal to admit German
Red Cross nurses and ambulances to
South Africa was that the British were
ashamed to allow the world to have a
glimpse of the scandalous conditions pre
vailing there.
Carnegie Gift to Scotch. Unlversltle.
LONDON, Feb. 27. The first annual
meeting of tho trustees of the Andrew
Carnegie bequest of 0,090,000 to the Scot
tish universities was held In London today
under the presidency of Lord Elgin. The
report of the year's administration
showed that of the GOOO applications the
majority had been disallowed. Only 2441
students were admitted, at a cost of 22,
941, for the session of 1S01-02. The report
also said that the trustees had ample
proofs that the payment of fees had
proved to be the greatest boon to many
deserving students.
Isabel Jay to Marry Cavendish.
LONDON, Feb. 27. Mrs. Jay Informed

ter, Isabel Jay, of the Savoy Opera Com
pany, to Harry S. Cavendish, the traveler

TAKES QUIET POSSESSION
JAPAN IS COLOMZIXG AXD DEVEL
OPING COREA.
Editor Saaisto, of Tokio, Says Ens;,
laad Made a Mistake by With
drawing From Wei Hal Wei.
VICTORIA, B. O. Feb. 27. K. Sunlsto,
managing editor of the Japanese Times,
of Tokio, was a passenger on the steam
ship Sinano Mara, of the Nippon Tusen
Kaisha Line, which arrived last night. In
an ..Interview he said that the Anglo-Japanese
treaty would certainly make ene
mies for Japan, as Great Britain Is none
too popular In the far East, but she could
afford to do so with England behind her.
Manchuria, he said, is very rich, and it is
the policy of the United States, England
and Japan to keep the country open to
the world and prevent Russia from hold
ing it for Russians .only.
Mr. Sunlsto says he thinks England
made a mistake In giving up Wei Hal
Wei, for it leaves her without a port at
the entrance to the Northern Sea, which
both Germany and Russia possess. Prob
ably England will move to Shan Kai Kan,
from which point there Is a railway to
Pekln, but while this would be a strong
er point commercially, being far back
from the entrance to the Gulf of Pe Chi
Li, it is not such a good strategic point
as those held by Germany and Russia.
England's action will injure her prestige
in Northern China.
All talk of Russia seizing a port in
Corea has ceased. Japan is taking quiet
possession of the peninsula, building rail
ways and telegraph lines and colonizing
the country, while Russia Is losing pres
tige with the Coreans. There was no
fear of Russia taking forcible possession
of a port, as neither Russia nor Japan
are eager for war. Japan would havo
fought last year, however, had Russia
not backed out, as Mr. Sunlsto maintains
she did. All that Japan asked for in
Manchuria and Corea was the open-door
policy.
As to China, Mr. Sunlsto said there Is
no danger of another outbreak like that
of the Boxers, Viceroy Yuan Shlk Hal
being a stronger man than the late LI
Hung Chang. Besides, China was taught
a lesson which she will not soon forget,
realizing now that she was the greatest
sufferer by the actions of the Boxers.
Missionaries will be attacked, pirates and
brigands will ply their trade, and there
will be riots, but there will not be an
other organized outbreak.
The reported rebellion in Kan Su, under
General Tung Fuh Slang, Is a very small
affair, and will not be widespread. It
was reported that the General had been
captured and beheaded, but this is not
likely. As he is dn old man, however, it
is more likely that he has settled down to
enjoy the gains he made through the
Boxer uprising. .
Mr. Sunlsto said the Japanese Govern
ment Is doing Its best to discourage emi
gration to Canada and America. Tho
trade between the countries Is increasing
rapidly, as shown by the improved steam

RUSSIA IS IX POSSESSIOX.
Assurances That Xlu Chvrnnp: Will
Remain Open to Foreigners.
LONDON, Feb. 27. The Chancellor of
the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
replying to a question In the House of
Commons today, said the government had
received assurances from Russia that the
rights of foreigners at Niu Chwang as
on open port would remain Inviolate.
When asked by what authority Russia
gave such assurances in regard to the
Chinese port, and whether the govern
ment recognizes that authority, the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer replied that the
Russian military forces are In "tempo
rary" possession of the port, and that,
therefore". Russia is in a position to give
such a promise.
Germany Closing Shan Tung.
LONDON, Feb. 28. Cabling from Pekln,
the correspondent of the Times says he
has learned that the German agreement
for the acquisition of a mining monopoly
In Shan Tung Province is upon the eve
of settlement, and that it will confer great
political advantage. The agreement will
practically close a large portion of Shan
Tung Province to British and other for
eign enterprises. The question is not un
naturally asked, continues the correspond
ent, how Great Britain and the United
States can ignore the Inconsistency of
their attitude of protesting anent Russian
encroachments in Manchuria while acqui
escing in the policy of Germany in Shan
Tung. Germany bases her claim to this
monopoly, concludes the correspondent,
on the fact that It was demanded by the
late Baron von Ketteler, and that she
cannot withdraw a claim advanced by her
murdered Minister.

SPANISH-AMBRICAX TREATY.
Hitch in the Negotiations in the Sen
ate at Madrid.
MADRID, Feb. 27. The Foreign Min
ister, the Duke of Almodovar, at the con
ference with the Senators yesterday, an
nounced that the government was op
possed to tho insertion of a clause In the
Spanish - American treaty prohibiting
Americans from acquiring land In Spain,
as Spaniards acquired property and
stocks In the United States. The Minister
declined to promise to submit a draft of
tho treaty to Parliament before It was
signed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. Surprise is ex
pressed here at the report that the nego
tiations for the Spanish-American treaty
are delayed owing to Spanish objections
to the provision for the holding of lands
by the citizens of either country In the
other. This point was discussed pretty
thoroughly some months ago, and Mr.
Storer reported It satisfactorily adjusted.
The Spanish Government wished its citi
zens to have power to hold lands In the
United States on terms of equality with
American citizens, being willing. In return,
to allow similar privileges In Spain to
Americans. The difficulty In the way con
sisted In certain United States statutes
prohibiting or limiting alien ownership of
lands, particularly In the territories and
the District of Columbia. This difficulty
was removed finally. It was supposed, by
the agreement of the United States Gov
ernment to give Spaniards the most fa
vored nation treatment In this matter,
which would, according to the common
construction of treaties, give them the
same privilege as American citizens to
hold lands and stocks. Of courseafthe new
treaty will have all the force of law, and,
under the Supreme Court's decision, If It
conflicts with existing law upon any such
point as alien ownership of lands, then It
supersedes that law.

The groom managed to pull the animal
to one side as It dashed past the royal
party, missing her royal highness by a
very few feet.
