THE QUEEN IN HER CHAPEL
BEGINS HER CELEBRATION AT THE
ALTAR OF HER FAITH.
Scone Most Impressive nnl Services
Very Simple—Only the Members ol
the Royal Family in Attendance.
The Queen Occupies the Chair of
State "With the Empress Freder
ick of Germany at Her Right and
the Duke of Connaught at Her
Left—A Touching; Scene nt the
Close.
London, June 20.—Queen Victoria began
the celebration of her jubilee to-day, as
was befitting her entire career, before the
altar of her faith.
Throughout London, the United King
dom and the empire, in every cathedral,
church or chape! of the Established
Church of England, was held services sim
ilar to those at St. George’s chapel, Wind
sor, where her majesty paid her devotions
and offered solemn thanks to God.
The announcement that the services at
St. George's chapel would be private and
for the members of the royal family pre
vented the gathering of a large crowd.
The scene was most impressive, and the
services very simple. Her majesty sat in
the chair of state, immediately in front
of the communion rail and just beside the
brass plate, whose inscription designates
the spot which was the temporary place
of interment of the prince consort.
The ladies and gentlemen who are the
grand officers of the queen’s household,
entered first, followed by the Military
Knights of Windsor in the full costume of
cock-hats and scarlet coats.
The Duke of Devonshire and Lord Rose
berry occupied their stalls as Knights of
the Garter. The rest of the church was
empty, the seats of the royal family being
near the queen's.
The Dean of Windsor, wearing the in
signia of chaplain of the Order of the Gar
ter officiated, assisted by the Lord Bishop
of Barry and several cantons.
Punctually at 11 o’clock, amid the
Btrains of an organ voluntary, the queen
arrived from the cloisters at the entrance.
Assisted by her Indian attendant, she
walked slowly to the chair of state, the
congregation standing. She was dressed
all In black, except for a white tuft in
her bonnet. Empress Frederick of Ger
many, attired in deep black, took the seat
at the right of the queen, while the Duke
of Connaught, wearing his Windsor uni
form, seated himself at her left. The
others grouped closely behind and looked
very like a simple family of worshippers,
among them were the Duchess of Con
naught, Prince Henry of Prussia and
Trincess Christian, with their children,
Prince Henry of Battenberg, the Grand
Duke Sergius and the grand duchess.
Morning prayers began with a short ex
hortation from First Timothy, and the
suffrages of the creed contained the sen
tences:
Priest—O Lord, Save the Queen.
Answer—Who putteth her trust in Thee.
Priest—Send her help from Thy Holy
Place.
Answer—And evermore mightily defend
her.
Priest—Let her enemies have no advan
tage over her.
Answer—Let not the wicked approach to
hurt her.
After the first collect a special collect
was read, and Instead of the ÜBtial prayer
for the queen and royal family, two spe
cial prayers were substituted, containing
the following:
“Almighty God, who ruleth over all
the kings of the world and dlsposeth of
them according to Thy good pleasure, we
yield Thee unfeigned thanks, for that
Thou wast pleased to place Thy servant
our sovereign lady, Queen Victoria, upon
the’throne of this realm.
"Let Thy wisdom be her aid and let
Thy arms strengthen her. Let Justice,
truth and holiness; let peace and love
flourish in her days. Direct all her coun
sels and endeavors to Thy glory, and the
welfare of her people; and give us grace to
obey her cheerfully. Let her always pos
sess the hearts of her people; let her reign
be long and prosperous, and crown her
with Immortality In the life to come."
A special prayer for unity was said, and
there were special psalms and gospels
Instead of those for the day, the gospel
being the sixteenth verse of the twenty
second chapter of at. Matthews: "Ren
der, therefore, unto Caesar the things
which are Caesar’s.”
There was no sermon;but a special hymn
written by the Right Rev. William Wal
eham, lord bishop of Wakefield, with mu
sic by Sir Arthur SuJlivan, was sung at
her majesty’s request. The third verse
was as follows:
"O royal heart, with wide embrace
For all her children yearning!
Oh, happy realm, such mother-grace
With loyal love returning!
Where Kngland's flag flies wide unfurled,
All tyrant wrongs repelling;
God make the world a better world
For man's brief earthly dwelling!”
Before the benediction the special
thanksgiving was offered:* "O Lord, Our
Heavenly Father, we give Thee hearty
thanks for the many blessings which Thou
has bestowed upon us during the sixty
years of the happy reign of our gracious
Queen Victoria, We thank Thee for prog
ress made In knowledge of Thy marvelous
works, for Increase of comfort given to
human life, for kindlier feeling between
rich and poor, for wonderous preaching of
the gospel to many nations, and we pray
Thee that these and Thy many gifts be
long continued to us and our queen, to the
glory of Thy holy name, through Jesus
Christ, Our Lord. Amen."
The choir of St. George's chapel ren
dered the musical portion of the service,
Sir Walter l'arrett presiding at the organ.
The service lasted forty minutes, the
queen remaining seated throughout and
following closely the special prayers and
hymn.
At the end there was a pause. The
queen, with bowed head, continued in
silent prayer. Then followed a touching
•cone, which will ever linger In the mem
ory of those who witnessed It. Summon
ing Kmpress Frederick, who bowed low at
her side, the queen kissed her on liolh
cheeks. The l)u’..e of Connaught and the
others of the family followed, receiving
on bended knee a similar token of af
fection. In many caaea the recipient was
kissed several times.
The quen was profoundly moved and
tears rolled down her cheeks. At last,
nd evidently with great reluctance, she
beckoned her Indian attendant, and lean
fpje morning
lng on her arm, passed slowly out of the
chapel, the congregation standing, the
light falling through tha multi-colored
windows, and the exquisite strains of the
organ rising and swelling beneath the
Gothic banner.
ST. FALL’S SERVICES.
Most of tlie Members of the Royal
Family In. Attendance.
London,June 20—'There were two services
at St. Paul’s Cathedral to-day at 11 a. m.
and 3 p. m. Immense crowds filled all the
approaches to the cathedral at the morn
ing service, anxious to catch a glimpse of
the royalities and distinguished personages
who were announced, including all the
Protestant envoys. The first to arrive and
to be recognized were the Archbishop of
Finland in purple and black vestments, ac
companied by two deacons and Gen. Ker
rief in full uniform. Then followed Chang
Ylng Huan, Chinese envoy in gorgeous ce

riages.
Under the dome and behind the richly
crimsoned royal pews were the peers and
perresses in full robes, the foreign envoys
and five colonial premiers with their fam

quaries, the Royal Academy of Arts, and
the Royal Academy of Music, the presi
dents of the principal hospitals and col
leges in London, Sir Richard Webster, the
attorney general, and 200 queen’s counsel
in their wigs and gowns.
Just before 11 o’clock the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Bishop of London and
iral, with the cathedral clergy
and choir, proceeded to the west door to
receive the members of the royal family.
The aisle was lined with a guard of hon
or, consisting of the medical staff corps,
in view of the fact that it was hospital
Sunday.
The members of the royal family arriv
ed punctually, and were received as they
drove through Ihe streets to the cathe
dral with the profoundest respect. Among
them were the Prince and Princess of
Wales, the Duke and Duchess of York,
the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke and
Duchess of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, Prince
Charles of Denmark.and Princess Charles;
Prince Albert of Prussia, Grand Duke and
Duchess of Hesse, Grand Duke Cecil of
Russia, Prince Waldemar of Denmark,

Preceded by the clergy and amid the
strains of the processional hymn "O King
of Kings, Whose Reign of Old Hath Been
for Everlasting," they proceeded to their
seats.
The service waß conducted by the Lord
Bishop of London and the celebrated ca
thedral choir of 150 males voices, assisted
by an orchestra of 150 from the Covent
Garden opera house and several of the
principal theaters, rendered the musical
portions.
The form of the service was the same as
at St. George’s chapel and was participated
in by the vast congregation with evident
feeling. To the invocation of the priest,
“Send Help From Thy Holy Place," came
the deep response of the kneeling multi
tude: “And evermore mightily defend
her;” while in impressive unison came the
“Amen” following the priest's words "Let
her reign be long and prosperous and
crown her with immortality in the life to
come."
Holy communion was celebrated and the
sermon was preached by the Lord Bishop
of London, who touched upon many of the
events In the reign of Victoria and elo
quently extolled her piety, charity and
motherly love for the people.

COLLEGE CREWS COMPARED.
YALE REACHES THE COURSE OF
THE GREAT CONTEST.
The Champions of the Bine IVrluli
122 Founds More Than the—Cor
nell Men and 40 Pounds More Than
the Harvard Crew—Lack of Ei
dnrance Harvard's Greatest Weak
ness Last Year—Harvard's Stroke
the Longest and Cornell’s the
Shortest nnd Snappiest.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 20.—Yale is
here. The blue floats aver the boat
house and the training quarters and the
boating colony have a score more added
to their numbers. The arrival of the' New
Haven giants will now make It possible
for the collegiate sports who have picked
winners and condemned methods to
change their opinion. That the men who
landed to-night will be In the race is ap
parent. The eight, as picked to row on
’varsity day, weigh 122 pounds more than
the Cornell men, and about forty pounds
more than the Harvard crew. When they
row over the course, for the first time to
morrow, they will be watched by hun
dreds of anxious eyes. So far as can be
seen, they form as formidable a crew as
Yale has ever had.
The boating colony made this loafing day.
Early this morning the Harvard men took
a boat for West Point, where they en
joyed the entire day in sight-seeing. Some
of the Cornell men went to church and
others lounged while the assistants of
Mr. Courtney looked over the boats.
Frederick Vanderbilt’s yacht Conqueror
came up the river and lies near Colum
bia’s boat house.
For the benefit and Information of those
desiring to know the points of the three
crews to row in the big ’varsity race, Fri
day, June 25, these statistics are given:
Weight—There is a difference of 14X4
pounds in the average weights of the
crews. Yale is the heaviest and Cornell
the lightest. If the weight counts for en
durance, Yaie has the advantage, but on
the contrary Cornell, with the lightest
crew on the river, won last year's race
easily. Cornell is lighter than ever this
year. The average weight of the crews,
exclusive of the coxswains, are as fol
lows: Cornell, 159; Harvard, 169; Yale,
173X4.
Endurance—Harvard suffered last year
from lack of endurance while the light
Cornell crew finished In splendid shape,
although judged by the college “experts,”
some of whom are doing similar newspa
per work this year, as being too light to
possibly withstand the strain of four
miles. It is generally conceded that Yale
crews always finish strong, and that en
durance is their best point. Harvard has
trained this year to overcome last year’s
defeat, and it is not only possible, but
probable that the hard racing will be done
in the last mile.
Starts—Both Harvard and Cornell have
studied much on the starts and both in
cline to a quick start, but an equally slow
down to a normal stroke. Yale catches
water quickly, but swings down to an easy
gait at once. If Harvard and Cornell get
fighting in the first mile or two and keep
up a fast stroke, Yale, with her steady
swing, will win the race, or If Harvard and
Yale put up a terrific contest In the first
mile, Cornell will repeat her performance
of last year.
Length of Stroke—Harvard pulls the
longest stroke and has quickest recovery.
Yale comes next and uses more body on
the oar, but ships it more quickly for re
covery. Cornell Is ffbout the same as last
year, with not quite so long as the Har
vard stroke, but snappier.
Boats and Rigging—Cornell will use a
new Watter paper boat, but both Harvard
and Yale will use cedar boats built In this
country. The Cornell and Yale crews use
the American swivel oar lock, but the Har
vard crews use the English thole pin and
claim they get much more power.
These few facts are things that will un
doubtedly be factors in the race, tide and
water not considered, and people of spec
ulative minds can determine for them
stlves with as much accuracy as the ex
perts who are writing opinions from here.
The programme for the entire series of
races is: Wednesday, June 23—Two-mlle
race for freshmen of Yale, Harvard and
Cornell, to be rowed up stream between 4
and 5 o’clock p. m.
Friday—June 23.—Four-mile race for
■Varsity crews of Yale, Harvard and
Cornell, to be rowed down stream at 3:30
p. m. sharp.
Wednesday—June 30—Two-mile race,
Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania to
be rowed down stream between 4 and 5
p. m.
Friday, July 2.—Four-mile 'Varsity race,
Cornell, Columbia, Pennsylvania, to be
rowed down stream between 4 and 5
p. m.
There la much discussion here to-day
about the tide changes and It is feared
that unless the race is pulled off sharply
on June 25, there may be trouble for the
crew that get* the beginning of the flood.
Some indignant protests are being made
at the unwarranted stories about trainers
spying upon other crews. Mr. Courtney
said to-day: "It’s all bosh. Any of the
trainers is welcome In pur boat house. I
never saw better feeling displayed. Mr.
Lehman, for Harvard, has Invited me to
go out in his launch and watch his crews
row, and has extended a similar Invitation
to Capt. Spillman of the Cornell crew."

EARTHQUAKES AT ’FRISCO.
Two Sharp and Severe Shocks In
Quick Succession at Noon.
San Francisco, Cal., June 2(J.—Two sharp
and severe shocks of earthquake were felt
,_here tprday, the official time of the first
as taken by tho United States weather
bureau being 12:01:04. It was followed Im
mediately by a second shock.
The vibrations were from west to east.
Clocks were stopped, suspended lamps and
decorations were broken in some places,
but no real damage is reported. The
shocks w-ere the most severe experienced
hero for many years. The earthquake was
general throughout the state.
Hollister, Cal., June 20.—Shortly after
noon to-day, the most severe earthquake
shock since 1868 did many thousand dollars'
damage to building and their contents. No
casualties occurred, though many narrow
escapes are reported. Every brick build
ing in town has suffered, and In the court
house, the walls and ceiling have lost most
of their plastering.
Immediately after the earthquake a fire
wall of the McMahon house fell on the ad
joining building.
Hundreds of window panes were cracked
or broken, and in some instances entire
window sashes were thrown into the street
from the second story of the building.
Gilroy, Cal., June 20.—The heaviest
earthquake ever felt here lasted only a
few seconds to-day, but did much damage.
Numerous chimneys were toppled over,
house walls cracked, every’ plate glass
store window was shattered and a general
wreckage of bottle and shelf ware occurred
In houses and stores.
People rushd out of their homes In ter
ror.
In some houses blinds were wrenched
from the hangings and an unusual scene
of petty destruction is presented In nearly
every house and store In town.
SPAIN MUST RAISE A LOAN.
Gen. Nunez Says Failure Will Coat
Her Loaa of Cnba.
Jacksonville, Fla., June aO.-j-Cubans are
watching with Intense interest the news
papers day by day to see what progresß
Spain Is making in her negotiations for an
380,000,000 loan to be secured by the tobac
co crops of Cuba, until paid. “If Spain
does not succeed in making that loan,"
said Gen. Emilio Nunez to the Morning
News correspondent to-day, "her troops
will evacuate the Island before the rainy
season ends. This means by October,
three short months. She owes the troops
now in Cuba $40,001X000 and unless that Is
soon paid the grumbling and discontent
over her depreciated paper promises to
pay, now going on In the rank and file of
her Cuban army, will develop Into deser
tlon and revolt, of which we already have
an example in the desertion to the United
States of the entire squadron of Pizarro,
the men of which would not take paper
money. I do not believe that Spain will
make the loan, for Cuba has so nearly
slipped away from her grasp that a mort
gage on Cuba's tobacco crop would be
the slimmest of slim security, and $80,000,-
000 is not a sum to be picked up on any
thing that is not ’gilt-edged,’ as you Amer
icans say. The Cubans were never In bet
ter shaps, so far as fighting is concerned,
than they are now. We have 70,000 able
bodied fighting men on the Island, half
of whom are well armed, and almost all
well supplied. They are inured to the
hardships of the weather and climate, the
outdoor life, and proof against the germs
of disease that is making such sad huvoc
in the ranks of their enemies.”
A KNOW-IT-A LI, SCRIBE.
Dally Chronicle Correspondent Itc-
Iterates Ills Cuban Story.
London, June 21, 3 a. m.—The Washing
ton correspondent of the Dally Chronicle
reiterates to-day his previous statement
as to the alleged instructions given by
President McKinley to Gen. Stewart L.
Woodford, minister of the United States
to Spain, and adds: "Spain will be per
mitted to exercise merely a titular sov
ereignty over Cuba. She will Im compelled
to withdraw her troops and to permit the
Cubans to make their own laws, to raise
their own revenue and to control theif
own expenditures.
"President McKinley believes that Cuba
must ultimately be annexed to the United
States. The withdrawal of the Spanish
troops will lead to a repetition of the
Hawaiian Incident.”

SHEEPSHEAD BAY SUBURBAN.
BEN BRUSH I.IK ELY TO BE THE FA
VORITE OF THE TEN STARTERS.
He Is the Top Weight With 123
Pounds on uis. Uaeks-Jlclnuir Next
with 121 Pounds—Raima to Carry
120 and III* Chances Poor—Havoc
to Be Well Backed—Volley Not
Showing Good Form—How ard
Mann Apt to Be Dangerons If the
Track Is Wet.
New York. June 20.—The candidates for
the Suburban handicap, to be run at
Sheepshead Bay, on Tuesday next, have
been sifted down to ten starters. On* by
one the horses have fallen by the wayside.
The four top weights gave it up some
time ago.
This leaves Ben Brush as the colt with
the highest impost, and he will have to
shoulder 123 pounds. He is In such fine
condition, however, that he is likely to be
the favorite from this time out.
This seems legitimate from his last two
race. One week ago yesterday he appear
ed for the first time this season tn the
east and ran a capital race. Then on
Thursday last he carried 118 pounds and
won a tine race from Belmar, at a mile
In 1:41%, and looked as If he could have
gone In and made anew figure for this
year at a mile and a quarter.
Belmar la the next in weight and his
121 pounds look like a staggerer, as he
could get nowhere near Ben Brush on
Saturday with 119 pounds up, although he
was badly ridden.
Halma comes next with 120 pounds, but
as he had to be driven and flogged on
Wednesday last, carrying 112 pounds, to
beat Brandywine at a mile In 1:42X4, It
seems as if his chances are poor.
Howard Mann at 118 pounds and The
Winner at 115 pounds follow, and one of
the other will represent Pittsburg Phil,
with Belmar. The Winner’s second In the
Metropolitan handicap was good enough
to make him a strong choice, although a
few expect to see him beat Ben Brush.
Howard Mann is, of course, the faith of
the stable in case of a wet track, In which
the colt It as home.
It would be strange If Sir Walter were
not In the big handicap, as he Is next in
order, with 115 pounds on his back. The
game little son of Midlothian, however, is
not as good as he once was, but he still
has a lot of friends who will back him
through sentiment and follow him with
good wishes.
Dutch Skater is next In weight, with 108
pounds, and is looked upon as having a
fair chance, but he will be figured as an
outsider.
Tho light weights are Lake Shore, 104;
Havoc, 102, and Volley, 99, and many are
inclined to think that the race lies here.
Lake Shore is very comfortably weighted
for a horse of his class, and his second to
Doggett a short time ago at a mile and a
furlong with 126 pounds up, mnkea him
the most dangerous colt of the lot.
Havoc will be well backed In view of his
race of Thursday at a mile and a quarter,
when, with ten pounds more than he will
have to carry on Tuesday, he was a close
second in 2:09%. That ten pounds is likely
to make a good deal of difference to him.
Volley ran third In the Brooklyn handi
cap with four pounds less on his back. He
has not been showing remarkable public
form lately, although this may be ac
counted for by the fact that he Is owned
by “Father Bill" Daly.
The field Is not the best to go to the post
since the Suburban was begun, but there
is promise of a good race, though not a
new record.

EUROPE'S FUTURE.
Intervention of thn United Stales
One of the Things He Fears.
London, June 21,—The Paris corespondent
of the Times reports a conversation af
fecting to represent the views of Emperor
William in the course of which, speaking
of his anxiety as to the future of Europe,
he says that he does not fear Chinese am
bition or the anarchists. But he does fear
the expansion of one of the great powers
and the Intervention of the United States
in the affairs of the old world. This, ac
cording to the Times correspondent, la the
reason why the kaiser does not allow him
self to be drawn Into the ambitious con
ceptions too readily imputed to him by
those desiring to disturb Europe on the
pretext of wishing to prevent him from
disturbing It.

The Dlfllenlty of Adjusting DlfTer-

Ing the Malinger* of the Bill More
I'erplrxlty Thnn tlie Open Oppo.U
tlon In tlie Senate—The Wool
Schedule to Confront the Senate
This Morning—The End of the De
pute to He In Sight Saturday,
Washington, June 20.—The republican
senators In charge of the tariff bill begin
to feel that the end is almost In sight.
They do not hope to conclude the consid
eration of the bill by the close of the pres
ent week, but they expect by that time to
be able to say when they can complete tha
work.
Asa matter of fact, the difficulty of ad
justing differences In their own party ifl
causing the managers more perplexity at
present than Is the open opposition to tha
bill In the Senate. It has been found al
most Impossible to hormonlze the contend
ing forces among republicans on the to
bacco and wool schedules. The differences
on tobacco have been compromised, though
not to the satisfaction of all concerned,
nnd If there should be another caucus be
fore the tobacco schedule Is taken up It*
the Senate the question Is liable to bo re
opened there.
Tho wool schedule will confront tha
Senate at the opening of the session Mon
day, and it is Senator Allison's purpose ta
press the schedule forward to a close.
Hence it will bo impossible to postpone
for a very much longer time the settle
ment of the differences on this question. II
is expected that if tho commltte© should
not be able to announce a determination
by some time Monday, the matter will bo
referred to an early caucus, or a caucus
may be called If the committee Axes a rata
that Is not satisfactory to the wool men.
There is little doubt that an advance will
be conceded by the committee, but tha
question of Interest Is whether tho In
crease will be all that tho wool men de
mnnd.
Tho wool schedule will, of course/ glvo
rise to an animated debate, but the dem
ocratic senators say there Is no disposi
tion on their part to needlessly delay It.
There are also numerous article* on tha
free list In the sundry schedule, which
will arouse differences of opinion, and if
the republicans do not withdraw the In
ternal revenue features of the bill, there
will he a sharp clash over this. They
are practically decided, however, to re
treat from these provision*. It Is also
practically determined that the House
provision, In regard to Hawaiian sugar,
will be continued, pending the disposition
of the Hawaiian annexation treaty.
For the rest, the question of reciprocity,
and the problem presented by the trusts,
In connection with the tariff, are still
undertermlned by the republicans them
selves, but there is no doubt that there
will lie more or less general debate upon
any proposition agreed to when presented
in the Senate.
Thn programme In the House will be tha
same as during the past week. There
will be two sessions, one on Monday and
another on Thursday. It is probable that
the committee on rules will bring in a
special order on Monday for the consid
eration of the bill appropriating money to
repair the dry dock at the Brooklyn navy
yard and the bill will no doubt be passed.
HANNA TALKS OF HAWAII.
Ilallflcatlon nf th* Treaty at Till a
Session Not Probable.
Cleveland, 0., June 20.—Senator Hanna
arrived homo this evening. He will go t®
Toledo on Tuesday to attend the state
convention of the republicans.
When asked what he thought of tha
prospeeta for the ratification of the Ha
waiian treaty, Mr. Hanna said: "The sen
timent In the Senate Is overwhelmingly
In favor of the treaty, hut Its discussion
at this session Is doubtful owing to the
fact that there Is a disposition on the part
of the congress to adjourn when the tar
iff measure Is adopted. There will proba
bly lie some opposition to the treaty that
would prolong the session If It were taken
up, and so I consider It unlikely."
