v
of f '" ,nocked to points along the
route to be followed by Lord Roberts
from Paddington station to Bucking
ham palace daring the early hours o!
tbe morning, but tbe numbers in no
way compared with those that gath
ered in the demonstration in booor of
(be return to tbe city of the volunteers
from South Africa. Fears of riotous
behavior and disasters that Occurred
on these occasions kept many peopli
from taking part in the welcome*.
Warned by the occurrences at the

to prevent crushing end 15,000 regular
troops, in addition to thousands of
polioe, lined the route and blocked tbe

•paoea to guard against dangerous
rushes. Lord Roberts reached Pad

platform of tbe elaborately decorated
railway station he was greeted by tbe
Prinoe of Wales, Princess of Wales,
Duke and Dnohess of York, Duke of
Coooaugbt, and tbe Duke of Cam-,
bridge. The members of tbe royal
family shook bands heartily with tbe
field marshal while the band played
the national anthem. The Prinoe of
Wales engaged Lord Roberts iu con
versation at some length. The Prince
of Wales soo left tbe railway station,
preceding Lord Roberts to Bucking
ham palace. The returning field mar
shal was then presented with an ad
dress from the municipality of Pad
dington.
. ▲ few distinguished people were
waiting wearily within the Bombre
palace quadrangle, while the gas lamps
burned dimly in the foggy gloom as
Lord Roberts entered Buckingham
palaoe. Tbe Footguards on duty,
wearing overcoats, were drawn up
within, while without some 5,000 per
sons were packed together in an en
deavor to get a view of tbe hero of the
hour. The royal party arrived half
so hour before Lord Roberts, who was
driven into tbe quadrangle amid a
salvo of chess from the crowd and
tbe dignified waving of handkerohief*
od the part of the bareheaded nobility
Witbin, tbe Prince of Wales again
warmly greeted the fltld mr.rsfcr.l.
Everybody by this time was very hun
gry, but Lord Roberts would do' go to
lunoheon until .ha lit.d tu&pco.ed the
Guards. Accompanied by one or two
ofiioera he valked between the lines of
men towering over tbe tiny oommand
er-inchief, making him appear smaller
than ever aud almost over-weighted
by the in:manse plumes of his field
marshai’ii hat. When the inspection
was over Lord Roberts, the members
of <he royal family, and the generals
went into tbe palaoe and had a private
luncheon, whereupon the crowd dis

Taxing Chinese For Outrages
Which Were Never
Committed.
PekiD, Jan. 3.-—“Tbe punitive expe
ditions of the powers prove to have
been simply looting parties. Lieuten
ant Colonel Wiut of the Sixtb cavalry
met the Germans at Tang Him, where
the latter had taxed the villagers 4,000
taels, ($2,7C0) and 100 pony loads of
furs, as punishment for the alleged
murder of imaginary Christians. He
had express orders from General Chaf
fee to co-operate with the Germans,
but withdrew.
“The ulterior motive and object of
the Germans iu reducing tbe province
to a desert, and in destroying the last
vestiges of Chiuese authority is appa
rent, but why tbe American forces
should be ordered to assist in tbe
work, is not clear.”
RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
It Will be Rapidly Pushed Now by
the Committee.
Waabington, Jan. 3.—Now that the
holidays are over, tbe River and Har
bor committee will push the bill that

usual, will have a golden stream to
help its turgid waters in washing a
channel at the southwest paas, but the
$10,000,009 will be distributed over ten
years. A million will be spent for a
look and dam below Cincinnati on the
Ohio, while Cleveland harbor comes
iu for $4,000,000, and poor Galves
tjo one million. The digging of a
channel for the biggest class of steam
ships in New Yrrk harbor will take
millions also, but that represents more
commerce than all the rest of the ap
propriations put together. As to the
conversion of the Ddiplaiues and Illi
nois rivers into a navigable waterway,
the committee thinks it will take $30,-
000,0C0.
