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.

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.

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 gins appropriately on to-morrow—Acces sion day—the sixtieth anniversary of that far June morning when as day broke the Archbishop of Canterbury and the lord chamberlain announced to the hastily awakened princess that during the silent watches of the night the mantle of majes ty had fallen upon her! The programme is as follows: Sunday, June 20—Accession Day Morn ing; The queen, with the more immediate members of the royal family, attend a sol emn thanksgiving service at Frogmore.

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. Barings— Perfidious woman, you have broken my heart! Mias Wheeler—Oh, I don't think It Is as bad us that. Nothing worse than a small puncture.— Indianapolis Journal, TEIE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 20, 1807. TARIFF BILL GIVEN A THUMP. REPUBLICAN RATE ON FLOOR MAT TINGS REJECTED. Messrs. Carter and IlansbrouKll. Straight Republicans, and Messrs. 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. COLORED MASON# TO MEET.

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. The army of Switzerland Is divided h* follows; The elite. 131,500; the Landwehr 81,500, and the Lan'strum 273,200. Sweden has 38,846 men and 1,000 reserves, with a navy of flfty-three ahlps, with 30.- oro men. and Norway an army of 39 000, although the number of troops actually under arms never exceeds, even In war, 1.800 men. without the consent of the storthing The navy of thirty-one ships Is only manned by 535 men, although some 323.000 men could be called upon to aerve.

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.

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. —lt’s astonishing how much pallenra some people have with themselves.—Puck.
