sovereign, Leo the XIII has sent to rep
resent the holy Roman see. Monsignor
Cesare Sambucetti, titular archbishop of
Corinth and canon of St. Mary Majoris.
Turning from those to-night in London
who have come to testify the homage of
the world beyond British boundary lines to
those who represent that empire within
them, the array of envoys is no less im
posing, no iess.picturesnue, while far more
pregnant with meaning to the man in the
street—for they typify the vastness and
variety of the empire to which he belongs.
Easily foremost in this group stands the
Hon. Wilfred Laurier, premier of the
dominion, who, with Mrs. Laurier,
end the other colonial premiers,
are guests of her majesty at the Hotel
Cecil, before the doors of which—as at all
hotels and houses where royal guests are
domiciled—soldiers of thf queen are post
ed on sentry duty. In the same wing with
Mr. Laurier are from Newfoundland, Hon.
6ir William Whiteway, K. C. M. G., and
Lady Whiteway; from New South Wales,

Misses Seddon; from the Cape of Good
Hope, Hon. Sir J. Gordon Sprigg. K. C.
M. G., and Lady Sprigg, and from Natal,
Hon. Harry Escombe and Mrs. Escombe.
Hardly less important and certainly
more picturesque are the envoys from In
dia, princes of feudatory states, men of
strai.ge titles, of dark-skinned, immuta
ble faces, clad in costumes of color and
gold ever emblematic of the gorgeous
east. Just who and what they are is hard
ly known outside the India office, but they
are ail resplendent Jerwmages and are
thus described; The Thakore gahth of
Gondal, the Rajah of Kapurthala; the
Thakore Sahib of Morvl; the Mahaiajah
Dhlraj sir Prayab Sing, legent Jodhpur,
accompanied by the Thakore Hart Sing;
Sun a yet Sing, a cousin of the Maharajah
of Kashmir. Others of the many Indian

Important post under the ruler of the
Deccan, the Nizam of Hyderabad. Last,
though not least, ta that old, familiar
name associated with so much of Indian
princely charity-Sir James Jitmaetjoe Je-
Joebhoy.
The queen Is resting quietly to-night at
Windsor, in excellent health and spirits,
?onsiderltiK the work of the past month,
settling and debating a whole dictionary
of detail* connected, with the arduous his
torical week lo cotne. For 140 arrange
ment, however trifling, in the programme
of the next seven days but what ha* re
ceived royal sanction and consideration.
Not merely the sorting and disposition of
Innumerable guests for royal functions,
hours of coming and going, bestowal of
honors and orders and the like, but the
endless details regarding reception of ad
dresses, memorial* n<l gifts. The ad-
dresses that are to be presented by the
home secretary are from every conceiv
able public body in every imaginable parts
of the empire and out of it and number
thousands—not counting tons of “odes"
and private memorials addressed to the
throne and which have found a last rest
ing place In the capacious waste-paper
baskets of Windsor. The principal ad
dress to be received Is that from the lords
and faithful commons. Of presents there
is no end. The most interesting of these
is perhaps the magnificent set of emer
alds sent by .he czar and czarina, valued
at a cost of SIOO,OOO. From China, India,
Japan, Persia, the continent and elsewhere
enough of the rare and costly sent by the
high and mighty has arrived to fill a
bijou museum, while if her majesty had
relaxed the rule which forbids accepting
present from private people unknown to
her, she might have covered the walls of
\\ indsor with the samples of home work
in every material existing, that now cum
ber the lumber rooms and cellars of in*
castle. Yet even these which she has
not seen have' had a reflex action upon
the queen's attentioh. It is therefore a
matter of sincere congratulation that she
has stood the strain so well. By command
this afternoon the queen received all the
Indian officers who were in full uniform.
To-night, after a quiet family dinner, at
which several sons and daughters of the
queen were present, her majesty at a
quarter of 10, went to a window in the
castle to witness the military tattoo, in
which 400 guardsmen, carrying naphtha
torches, took part.
The scene was a very pretty one in spite
of unpleasant weather. The soldiers sa
luted by raising their burning torches high
in the air.
The jubilee programme, to which her
majesty has given her assent, covers the
seven days beginning to-morrow—though
all envoys are guests of the queen until
Monday, June 29. The programme be

“STRANGERS IN THE HOUSE.”
An Occasion When the Prince of
Wales Withdrew From Parliament
From the North American Review.
At one time, much more than of late
years, his royal highness was a constant
visitor to the House of Commons, his
pleasant presence beaming from the cen
ter seat of the peers’ gallery, Immediately
over the clock. During the turbulent
times that marked the birth of .the Par
nellite party he frequently dropped in to
watch the recurring crises. This habit
gave the late Mr. Joseph Gillis Biggar an
opportunity of distinguishing himself
above his fellows. One Tuesday evening,
in the early spring of 1875, Mr. Chaplin,
then a private member, secured first place
for a motion relating to the breed of
horses. The Prime of Wales, accompa
nied by a numerous suite of peers whose
faces were familiar with Newmarket and
Epsom, came down to hear the speech and
the debate. It was a great opportunity
for Mr. Chaplin, and he was prepared to
rise to It. Unfortunately for him, he had
chanced some days earlier to olTend Mr.
Biggar. Joey B.—the mer or for Cavan
like the redoubtable Joe Gags’ock, was
sly. dcv'lish sly. If Mr. Chaplin saw his
opportunity, Joe not only declared it, but
seized it first.
Mr. Chaplin had risen, fixed his eyeglass,
smitten himself reassuringly on his portly
chest, had coughed In prelude to his
opening sentence, when from below the
gangway opposite a well-known shrill
voice was heard exclaiming: 'Mr.
Speaker, sir, I believe there are strangers
in the House.”
For a moment the crowded chamber
was hushed in dismayed silence. The
speaker broke It by Inquiring whether
the honorable member for Cavan per
sisted In his intention of noticing strang
ers. "If you please, Mr. Speaker," said
Mr. Biggar, with un encouraging nod
towards the chair. Then the anger of the
House found Issue in a roar of contumely,
through which was heard the unparlia
mentary*. aimos. unprecedented sound
of hissing. Hoi onhle members might
Just as usel'nll* have sat down by the
river's bank shouted “stop" to the
fails of Niagara. At that time there was
in force the mediaeval order which re
quired the immediate and absolute with
drawal of strangers from every part of
the House upon an Individual rneir* r
taking note of their presence. Mr. blg
gar was master of the situation, and
few human faces offered an opening far
exceeding the breadth of his smile as he
surveyed It.
The speaker had no option. He must
needs Older strangers to withdraw.
Thereupon ihe Prlnee of Wales, the Ger
man ambassador, who happened to be In
ihe diplomatic gallery, and the crowd of
peers, boasting th* bluest blood In Eng
land, were compelled to scuttle. Mr. Blg
par had his fun, but the House of Com
mons reaped permanent benefit from Ihe
prank lie brought Into broad daylight
the absurdity of the ancient custom,
which was thenceforward doomed. Tho
privilege of spying strangers la no long
er counted among the possessions of
Individual members of the House of Com
mons. Strangers may to-day be excluded,
but only upon motion duly made and car
ried by a majority.

TARIFF BILL GIVEN A THUMP.
REPUBLICAN RATE ON FLOOR MAT
TINGS REJECTED.

Mantle, Pettigrew and Teller, Sil
ver Republican*. Vote With tlie
Democrats—The Vote Stand* UN to
22 The Effect of the A’ote 1* to Put
Mattings on the Free List—Burlap
and Cloth for Ragging Left oa tlie
Free List.
Washington, June 19 —ln the Senate to
day the flax schedule of the tariff bill
was taken up, the pending question being
on Mr. Allison’s motion to Increase the
rate on thread, twine, etc., made of flax
hemp, etc.
Mr. Vest of Missouri and Mr. Jones of
Arkansas contested the proposed change,
arguing that the rates were excessive.
Mr. Allison’s amendment was agreed to,
26 to 19, Mr. McEnery voting with the re
publicans.
Mr. Allison moved to Increase the rate
• on yarns, making it 7 instead of 6 cents a
pound on single yarns in the grain not
eight lea.
Mr. Gray called for an explanation of
the increase. He said it would not do for
the republicans to sit still without saying
a word, simply because they had the nec
essary majority.
Mr. Sewall of New Jersey said the in
crease had been decided upon to compen
sate for the increase in the rate on raw
material demanded by the "western peo
ple."
“Very well.” said Mr. Gray, "that Is
more light than we have heretofore had.
Go on.”
“That’s enough,” interjected two or
three republican senators.
In conclusion, Mr. Gray made an argu
ment for free raw material, the necessity
of which, he said, was Illustrated by the
action of the finance committee in the
case of linen thread.
The amendments were agreed to without
1 division.
The committee amendments on flax net
tings were agreed to.
Mr. Vest took exception to the increase
on floor mattings, saying the duties as
proposed would range from 48 to 105 per
cent., whereas they had heretofore been
free. He moved to strike out the entire
section.
Mr. Pettigrew said the committee
amendments were evidently aimed at the
Japanese matting, which could not be pro
duced here. The purpose, therefore, evi
dently was to force the patronage to the
American llncoleum trust. This was not
an infant Industry. The rates were pro
hibitive and the article affected was one
In which the poorer classes were especial
ly interested. He supported Mr. Vest’s
amendments.
On a roll call the Senate accepted Mr.
Vest’s amendment, striking out para
graph 333, in regard to floor matting, the
vote standing 25 to 22. Messrs. Carter and
Hansbrough (straight republicans) Man
tle, Pettigrew and Teller (silver republi
cans) voted with the democrats on this
motion.
The result created a slight stir In the
chamber, as It was the first substantial
triumph of the opposition to the tariff
bill. The effect is to restore floor mattings
manufactured from straw or other vege
table substance to the free list. These in
clude the Japenese, Chinese and Indian
mattings.
An attempt was made to put oilcloth as
well on the free list.
Paragraphs 341 (Jute, grain bags and bur
laps), and 342 (bagging for cotton, gunny
cloth, etc.) were considered together and
aroused some discussion, which was based
on the motion by Mr. Pettus to strike
out.
Mr. White contended that the proposed
duty on jute bags would cost the farmers
of the Pacific coast $500,000 per annum. He
asserted that the duty on wheat was a de
lusion, and that in putting these bags on
the free list an opportunity was afforded
to do the farmer a substantial service.
Mr. Butler of North Carolina said the
additional cost to the southern states on
guuno on account of this luty would be
$350,000 a year. In reply to Mr. Butler. Mr.
Perkins of California said guano w is put
up in second-hand bags. Asa mat er of
fact, he said, there was no more powerful
trust than the burlap trust, which con
trolled bag manufacture all over the
world.
Mr. Terklns said the Pacific coast farm
ers were at the mercy of the bag makers
of Calcutta and Bombay, except for the
bags rn-ie by the convicts in the state
prison of Cal'ir inla.
“Is that the 1 nd of American labor you
wish to protect?” asked Mr. Tillman, to
which Mi. Perkins replied with a query
whether Mr. Tillman, as governor of his
state, had favored keeping the convlcta In
Idleness at the expense of the farmer*.
Mr. Pettus sought to bring the debate
back to the question of bags, urging the
Senate to give "this modicum of Justice”
to the farmers.
The motion to strike out the two para
graphs In regard to the burlap and cloth
for cotton bagging was carried, 31 to 28.
The effect of the vote Is to leave these
articles on the free list. The silver re
publicans and populists who were present
all voted with the democrats, but no
straight republicans did so.
Going back. Mr. Joni s of Arkansas
moved to strike out paragraph 339 (plain
woven fabrics of single Jute yarns). This
motion also prevailed, 29 to 28.
The rate on handkerchiefs was fixed at
40 per cent, ad valorem Instead of 55.
The hemp schedule wag agreed to, which
brought the Senate hack to the wool
schedule. Rather than attack this so
late In the day. they held a short, execu
tive session and then adjourned.

if THE WORLD'S ARMIES,
ri' _____
What file Various Countries Could
Put In the Field.
From the London Mail,
The United States can call upon a
greater number of trained soldiers than
any other country in the world. Although
the standing army numbers only 27,000
men, each state has to support Its own
militia, and should It become necessary
as a last resort, upward of 7,600,000 men
could assist In maintaining the Indepen
dence of the states.
To defend the coast there would be a
navy of some seventy ships, with 10,000
men.
Of the European armies, the biggest In
that of France. The number of men In
the active army and tti reserves I* 2,350,-
OflO. It Is not likely, however, that under
any conceivable circumstances more than
2,500,100 men could be called out. The na
vy, with 451 ships, also has a reserve of
114,000 men, of whom 25,000 are serving at
the present time with the fleet.
Next in point of numbers on a war foot
ing comes Oerr my. The peace strength
ol the standing army is about 520,000.
There has been no late return of the war
strength, but tn the last extremity C r
many would have an army of not far short
of 3.000,000 trainee! men, while 22,000 men
could man the 220 odd vessels constituting
the navy. The third great power Is Rus
sia. The total peace fooling of this coun
try Is 900,000 and the war footing lOoO.OuO.
The navy consists of 160 ships, manned by
32.000 men.
lialy can boast of an army numbering
3,030(000, of which nearly 250,000 are un
der arms, 600.000 arc on unlimited leave,
and 530,001) are mobile militia, and 1,65n,000
are territorial militia. The navy com
prises 21,500 men and 220 Bhlps.
From a military irhint of view, Great
Britain 111 compares with her European
neighbors The total c all branches of
the service only amounts to 716,683, and of
these only <165,164 are classified as effective.
The regular force at home and In the col
unies only numbers 117,106, the army re
serve is 80,100, the militia 140,104, the yeo
manry 11.078. and th volunteers 203.528.
The British navy, therefore, should at all
times be a remarkably strong one.
Austria-Hungary ha a war footing of
1.750,000, but should the necessity arise
over t.noo.ono men would have to take arm*
In defense of their country. The nuvy has
only a total of some 8,500 men to man the
110 ships The permanent nrmy of Spain
number* 116.000, which could be Increased
In time of war to 1.0*6.000; 21,000 men could
man the 10* vessels comprising the navy.

Simmon*, tlie Doorkeeper, Takes a
Hiut nl Heroine* Resplendent.
From the New York Sun.
Washington.—The first step toward put
ting In uniform government employes
who do work similar to that assigned in
private houses to servants has been taken
at the white house, where Arthur Sim
mons, the veteran negro doorkeeper to
Secretary Porter, appeared to-day in a
distinctive garb suggestive of the duty
he perform*. The uniform idea has In
contemplated for a number of yea.*.
President Cleveland wa* in favor of
adopt ing a conspicuous dryss for the
ushers and messengers at the white
house, and Private Secretary porter gave
unqualified Indorsement to the sugges
tion. But Mr. Cleveland decided not to
put the Idea Into operation, because he
believed It would lead to adverse com
ment.
Secretary Porter has glveq consideration
to the uniform plan lor some lime. The
reasonableness of it was brought to Mr.
Porter's attention by the uncertainty on
be part of callers as to whom to apply
to for admission to Ihe executive office*.
Only the policemen at the main entrance
wear uniforms, u bile upstairs, where Ihe
offices of tho President, Secretary Por
ter, and tho clerical force are situated,
the doorkeepers and messengers are en
tlred In plain clothes.
There has bci n considerable comment
by visitors on the appearance of the mee
ungers. and suggestions have been made
frequently to memls-r* of the executive
stuff that the adoption of a uniform would
be beneficial to visitors and officials alike.
No order was Issued directing the white
house employes to purchase a correspond
ing dress. Merely an Intimation was giv
en that a neat suit of clothe*, conspicuous
enough to show that the wearer was con
nected with the executive mansion, should
be w.<m during office hours. ,A pleasing
acqul v < nee was given by Doorke<>|,*r
Simmons. He consulted a tailor, und the
result was th* suit In which Hlmmons
appeared to-day. It Is of light blue cloth.
The box coat, single breasted. Is bound
by a while cord, and th trousers aro
embellished with a white stripe down the
seam The buttons sre black, but may
be changed for other* made of sliver.
Hlmmons has been an usher at the white
house for a long time. He got hi* pres
ent place during tho administration of

ATT HOUSES IN AUSTRALIA.
Mound* In Which Million* of the In-
Bert* Live.
From the Han Francisco Call.
One mound In particular, a groined col
umna' structure, was eighteen feet high.
This was not far from Port Darwin. The
discoverer believes that originally the
mound was conical In shape. The sides
were wmooth. It has evlderrtly been In
use for many years and the columi vr ef
fect noticeable, he believes, Is due to the
fact that the ants incessantly traveling
the pathwuys up and down the mound
produced the grooves that are seen and
resulted In giving the effect of a colum
nar formation. The entrance to the
mound, examination showed, hud varied
In location, for there was distinct evidence
that aperture* of this sort bad been wall
ed up In several Instances.
The Interior of the mound referred to
showed as much as anything the remark
able instinct of the ants. It wa* divided
up very much after the fashion of the tall
buildings which are now becoming so
common, with an Immense court within
Ihe structure itself—that Is, there were
hundreds of tiny cells built in from gal
lerbe whk h were terraced one above the
other. The galleries were connected by
paths of stairways, each of these being
constructed with architectural exactness.
The ceils were almost uniform In size, and
reminded one, the explorer said, of the
cell of a monk. The earth In each Instance
wq* as hard and smooth as marble and
bore evidence of long-continued usage. A
portion of the ground floor, or basement,
of the mound had been divided up Into
storerooms and here it was evident the
ant* had carefully packed away the pro
vender which they hud aeoured from va
rious points about.
While naturalists and students of tha
intelligence of Insects nnd nplmals have
long been Inclined to believe that the ant
exceeded In at least keenness of Instinct
sll otlv r creatines of Its Hind, It ha* never
been conclusively shown until demonstra
te! by the Just-made announcement of
Mr. Bavllle-Kent.
