Tho places visited by the royal party were the Peo ple's Palace, in the East End, Center hall, in Holburn, and the Western schoolhouse.

The senate today completed the wool, the silk and the tobacco schedules of the tariff bill, and, with this accomplished, the tariff leaders had the satisfaction of knowing that all the schedules of the bill and the free list had been gone over once. There now remains only to go through the bill a second time, passing on the items passed over. These are very nu merous and important, including hides, gloves, coal, tea and 1 eer. After that, the internal revenue features will be all that remains. Progress was rapid today, although every paragraph relat ing to carpets was stubbornly contested. The consideration of the silk schedule led to a strong contest against the pro posed duties on silk fabrics. Senators Teller and Mantle joined with the Democrats in opposition. The para graph was passed by a majority of two. The tobacco schedule went through with little friotion, after the committee had advanced the duty slightly on wrapper and leaf tobacco.

The morning trains brought several thousand people to the city to attend the annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans. John B. Gordon prefaced his add rex at the business meeting with an an nouncement of his intention to resign as commanding general, but there were cries of "No" from all parts of the hall. Keferring to the rapid growth of the organization during the eight years since he was first elected, from 10 camps to more than 1,000, General Gordon said: "It is an army still, Mr. President, but an army for the bloody work of war no longer. Its banners no longer bear the flaming insignia of battle. Its weap ons no longer flash defiance to the foe, nor deal death to opposing ranks. Its weapons are now the pen without mal ice, the tongue without aspersion, and history without misrepresentation. Its aims are peaceful, philanthropic and broadly patriotic, bailing alter the most desperate defensive struggle in human annals to establish their cher ished confederacy, these high-soiled sons of the South offer this record of devotion as the noblest pledge of their fealty to freedom and of their readiness to defend the republic of their fathers. "In conclusion, my comrades, let me hope that the wise conservatism, and the spirit of magnanimity which is al ways the brightest gem in the crown of courage, will mark your career in the future, us they have in the past." When General Gordon hud concluded his address General Joseph Wheeler nominated General Gordon for re-election, and the nomination wus carried unanimously. The committee on cre dentials reported 7.0U0 names of those present 1,000 camps represented. At the business meeting it was voted to meet in Atlanta next year.

The last stroke of 12 had not died away in the midnight air when from a hundred metropolitan steeples a tumultuous peal of bells an nounced the diamond jubilee day. The vast crowds that filled the miles of streets and squares answered with ring ing cheers and here and there with the singing of "God Save the Queen." The crowds that peopled the streets and squares all night in the hope of a good view of the procession today were amazing in their sublime patience. Waiting for 12, 14 and 16 hours, as many of these people are doing, jammed together, is a feat of endurance that could only be sustained by some over mastering desire. Quite half of theBe jubilee waiters were women, many of them the pale, careworn women of London, yet all enduring the back breaking tediouBness with the utmost good nature. Some had camp-stools, some sat on projections of buildings, on curb-stones, or leaned in doorways and the angles made by stands. Re freshment's were in order everywhere, and the police had little trouble, cheery good humor being the note of the night. During the long hours snatches of song and occasional bursts of cheering showed that the people were deter mined to enjoy the festival of patriotism and loyalty to the utmost. A clear, starlight sky and cool air kept the spirits of the orowd at the topmost point throughout the vigil. With the dawn the hopes of queen's weather merged into certainty, and the world prepared itself in fullest confidence for a day of pleasure. The procession was headed by an ad vanoe party of royal horseguardB. Then followed a band of the same corps playing the inspiring "Washington Post March," and close upon the band came a portion of the picturesque Northwest mounted police as escort to the first oolonial premier, Hon. Wilfred Laurier. The Northwest policemen made a striking appearance. The Vic torian mounted troops followed, suc ceeded by the New Zealand mounted contingent, a fine-looking, sun-burned lot of men, drawn from almost every town in the colony. Then oame New Zealand's premier, Hon. Richard J. Siddon. For the moment Australia gave way. Afrioa was allowed a chance, and the Cape of Good Hope mounted rifles wearing scarlet, with white helmets, rode . by to herald the coming of the cape premier, Hon. Sir J. Sprigg. The premiers being disposed of, then succeeded a most attractive display of mounted troops of the crown colonies, and the Rhodesian horse colonial in fantry, broken bv three bands, typical of the United Kingdom. Then there passed a splendid contingent from Canada's infantry, 175 strong, with Colonel Aylmer leading. Then fol lowed all the lord lieutenants of Lon don, his grace, the Duke of Westmins ter in a lord lieutenant's dress. The duke was followed by a glittering cav alcade of officers. Next oame the officers of the auxili ary forces in attendance on H. R. H., the Prince of .Wales, equerries, gentle men in waiting and military attaches. Then, as a compliment from the kaiser, a deputation from the Fuerst Prussian dragoon guards. After the Germans came the most brilliant group of all. Soldiery, offi cers of the imperial service, troops from India, in their uniforms, brilliant to a degree. Many wore massive gold earrings with enormous stones. The crowd now began to show more eager interest in the passing vehicles, as they were nearer and nearer to the queen. The first part of the sovereign's escort now rode into view, the Second Life Guards, As their well-known brilliant uniforms appeared, a whisper ran electrically, "She's coming." The guards were soon succeeded by an es cort of British and foreign princes Many faceB were known, recognized and cheered. This brilliant escort was composed of the flower of Europe's thrones. Following the princes oame the guard of honor, 22 officers of the native Indian cavalry corps, men of fine phy sique, picturesque uniform and strange faiths. Then they could see tho queen's horses. It was the queen at last. A cheer broke forth which seemed to shake the earth, and which was re newed again anil again as her majes ty's carriage approached. The famous eight Hanoverian creams, with long manes richly woven with ribbons of royal blue, were passing. Gorgeous they looked in the new harness. The liveries of the postilions were in keep ing with the horses. The carriuge in which her majesty rode now came abreast. Beside her majesty rodo the Prince of Wales, and opposite her mujesty II. K. II. Prin cess Christian. On the left of her majesty rode H. R. II. the Duke of Cambridge, on the right the Princess of Wales, who was followed by the Duke of Connaught, the general com manding. The route of the procession covered 6? miles, which was profusely dec orated with banners, flags, flowers, mot toes, portraits of the queen, tho impe rial monogram, etc Eight thousand policemen guarded the line of march. The bones of very aged persons have greater proportion of lime than those 01 young oerpons. frowning. Honklnn & Company's ReTieir at Trade. There were a number of considera tions in the wheat market to unsettle the ideas of traders. The uneasiness over the July deal on account of tho small Rtoeks has been one of the factors. It was started by the discovery that tradi in July would not Bettle with one of the prominent elevator concerns, and the conclusion was at once reached that this concern had bought enough July wheat to develop an interesting situation with local contract stocks ol wheat so abnormally low. Not only are local stocks and the American visi ble away below last year's level, but the recent decreases have each week been greater than expected. On account of the good cash trade the local out inspection has been heavy, and each week a large percentage of the local stock is moved out. The position taken by the board of trade directory 011 the elevator question was inclined to add to the uneasiness regarding the possi bility ot a July squeeze. Among the minor consideration! have been the changes in the weather, the reports of locusts in the North west, the good spring wheat flour trade. In a general way the market has been unsettled and easily influenced in eithei direction by a comparatively small volume of trade. Portland Markets.
