June 23. The demo cratic state convention adjourned early this evening , having completed lt work. The two allied conventions , the silver repub licans and populist * , completed their work ellghtly In advance.

London Is like New York the day after an election washed out and weary. The scenes In the ctrccts tonight arc again Indescribable The admission of vehicular traffic makes the jam to see the llumlnatlons even of mammoth size. A bright "Star of Empire" shines In flaring gas on William Waldorf Aslor's house , while Ambassador Hay's residence Is beau tifully adorned with flaming Amerlcaj shields. The decorations will remain up for several days. Tomorrow comes the princess of Wales' dinner to the poorest of the poor , the rnc&t graceful part of the celebration , nnd Satur day there will be a great naval review at Splthtad. The dinner will not be a big banquet In oneplace. . Sixty thousand pcr- tons will be fed In ubout 200 places , while 15,000 will be served In their own homes. Many amusing Incidents have grown out of the decision not to provide beer. The poor Englishmen and Englishwomen demand beer as earnestly as they sing. "God Save thtt Queen " Here Is one Instance : Sixty-eight of the Invited had jo > ously accepted the In vitation , when they learned of the rumor that no beer would be circulated. They doubted their senses , Investigated and found It true , w hereupon fifty-three of the paupee with towering dlgnltj , formally declined to partake of the dinner. The most interesting of these dinners will be those served to crippled children and to "jail birds. ' The latter will be a unique gathering of men and women who have been behind the bars for serloHs crimes every crime from murder to ticket swindling will be represented The history of this fund is Interesting. It had been started but had excited no en thusiasm until one day there appeared a subscription of $120.000. It set all England aape wltn wonder as to who the donor was Presently the newspapers announced in glar ing llnta that the great "philanthropist" was a certain merchant. It was two weeks be fore London realized that he had secured the biggest kind of an advertisement , worth many times the amount of hti subscription. The dinner to the poor has done much to revive the really waning popularity of the prlnceco of Wales The English people long ago began to ecent the fact that while the princess is a verj nice person and perhaps deserving of sjmpatby because of her roval husband's pecullarltks , she is mentally color less and absolutely unimportant. This caused a reaction In public sentiment tow an ! tlie prince. He now undoubtedly is the most popular member of the royal family. The ovation to him along the route of yesterday- procession proved that. SOME NEW MADE BARONETS. Among the recipients of the queen's jubi lee honors two only are worthy of note. The knighting of Colonel Mellis Is a recog nition of one of the greatest services pos sible to the queen. A bluff , hearty English soldier , sent to India some jears ago , he found the dependent native princes each maintaining a rabble as an army These ooldlera were underpaid , loyal to nobodv , and likely to make frightful trouble In case of an outbreak. He set to work unaided , dispersed these little armies and substituted well organized bodies , which the princes now take pride In personally commandIng - Ing , and disciplined them to enthusiastic loyalty to the British crown. Thus one army colonel'o work made another Indian mutiny impossible and did more than any other thing to bind India 10 England. This Is absolutely the first recognition of a man of tremendous international importance. Sir Wlll'am ' MacCormack. made a baronet , got the honor by Interesting experiments with army rifles beginning with those used In the United States army He It was who had sense enough to see ihat tiring bullets Into dead men did not show what they would do when fired Into live men , because of the different resistance of dead and living bodle. He devised a target of exactly the same resistance as a living body. ADMIRATION FOR MILDS. General Nelson A. Miles of the United States crmy was one of the most Impres sive of the many Imposing figures In jes- terday's memorable military parade. He Is a handsome man and his uniform , of rich blue with brass buttons and gold epaulet" a uniform which a soldier who can fight may choose presented a favorable contrast to the gaudy gold lace , feathers and flnlckj- frippery of the English high officers. The general sat on his horse like a real warrior and v.as cheered to the echo frequently Americans are mighty proud of him. He has made a tremendous Impression upon English military society Half a dozen great compo rs were In the choir on the steps of St Paul's yesterday Among them was Sir Arthur Sullivan He wanted to get a close view of the queen ( luring the most Interesting part of the cere monies , and this was possible only to the choir , so he puton a surplice and solemnly opened his mouth v.hcn the humbler cholr- Isters opened theirs , and solemnly closed It again when the time came for that. Sir Arthur , at ordinary times , makes less pie- tensions to choral abllltles than Thomas C. Platt does. EDWARD MARSHALL. 1H\MOM > COVI'I > T VT TIIH OI'IJH I. OniiiTN of Vnlunlii , .

It un doubtedly was the most goigeous function , as far as drees and jewels go. of the Jubilee celebration. The whole Interior of the house was covered with roses from floor to ceiling A hundred thourand , from the deepest red to the palest jellow , were employed In the decoration. Every one In the stalls and boxes , except the American ambassadors and their suites , had to weir court drcas or uniform , while the women were attired in their grandest costumes. Eight boxes on the grand tier had been Knocked Into on ? for th ; royal J.arty , which , headed by the prince and prlaceas of Wales , Included all the ro > altlea visiting London. The liainUomest woman In the royal bux. by general consent , was the prn- ! ccis of Niptea. formerly Princess Helen of Montenegro , whose regal beauty won unl- veral admiration. On her mss of raven hair ( he wore a splendid diamond crown ae fine as any in the bouse. Another exceed ing ) ) beautiful prlnccts was the Grand Duchess Serglus of Russia , who uore several neckleU of huge diamonds anJ pearls and a set of enormous rare Jewels of pals green , the exact color of her dress. The heir to nearly every crown of Europe was In the front row of the roya ! bax. while In the other boxee were princes end grand dukes beond count. The function was , more than antiling e'.ae , perrtaps. a diamond competition lit U computed that on a moderate estimate there was { 10,000.000 north of gems In IIio houtu anl Mrs Drexel of New York won It tl- hough she rail as her neighbor MM Bradley- Martin Mrs Drexel wore an Immeuxe. dh- nerd tlars. and several ropus of matchlc-r lamonda around her neck , the whlttut , niivnt irllllant In the v.lrle house Mrs Bralle- Martin was jerord wirh licr fanT > t dlmonl arcnet and glorlaus callar rf dlari Tdj ? n 1 rubitu , whileen her dress the wore several great white single stone brooches In barbaric - baric sOle.

The duke of Coburg ( Edin burgh went to sleep and the prince ot Wales , although he sat next to the princess ot Naples , looted as If he had soni" dlfilculty In keeping ftotn fflowlng his brother's ex ample. Very few of the jovaltles cxchauced a word with each other. Most of them sal the whole evening like Images without open ing their mouths An exception was Prircess Charles of Denmark ( Princess Mnud ) . who filled In the time by making her unmarried sister. Princess Victoria of Wales , go Into fits ot laughter , apparently by her remarks on the ro > altlc around them. 1'rlnccas Maud'8 pranks caused the p'lncc of Wales to look around repitvlngly once or twice , but each time the delinquent was the picture ot dc- mureness , while Princess Victoria , the vic tim of her arts , was caught laughing. It evidently Is not the correct thing to laugh In public if one belongs to the royalty. As fioon as the royalties were seated the curtain rose , disclosing the entire cast of the opera , among them Madame Melba and Mine. Do Reseke , grouped on the stage. Th n fol lowed such n rendering ot the national anthem as It njver had before after which was carried out Mr Grau's carefullj aiiangcd program , Including the second act of "Tann- hausei , " third act of Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet. " and the fourth act of the "Hugue nets " The efforts of the singers and the orchestra were received with the greatest enthusiasm and the performance surpassed in every way the famous gila performance given at Covent garden for Empeior William.

The chief event of uiu day aud on ? ot the most interesting of the entire week was the presentation to the queen of congratulatorj addresses by both nous's of Parliament , which occurred at Buckingham palace this morning. Nearly half a century has passed since iho House of Commons visited the sovereign in a body , the last occasion being the pres entation of an addrcu acknowledging the reception of the queen's message announcing the declaration of cr against Rusaia , an.I not since tne earl } 40V , when addresses were maJe congratulating th < j qUecn on the failure of attempts at assassination , had she rfcelveJ the two houses , together There were brief formalities nt Westminster today The two houses met aud aticr the formal an. nounccment made b > Lord Halsbury In the House of Lords arid Mr Balfour In the j House of Comraona that iuo queen would be pleased lo receive tne two house.- * , they pro ceeded in state procession to the palace There they assembled in the chambei ad joining the tin one room , and jfter a briel delay the doors wire thrown open and the announcement made that her majeat > was prepared to give them audierce.

Loid Chancellor Halsburj knelt at the foot of the throne , read the address there on Ills knees end handed ito the quetn. After the parliamentary ceremony the queen reteive-d In the same manner the majors and prjvosts of provinces , and chali- men of county councils who afterward were cntenalne.l at a luncheon In ihe palace They were attired In levco dices , consisting of blatK knickerbockers nnd stociclngs , black velvet coats and steel buttons , black plumed hats aud swords.

June IS Thre crews of freshmen on the Hudson this even ing smashed to smithereens nil previous rrc- ordb for freshmen on a two-mile COU'KC , and put up one of the hottest lutercollcglatg races ever w linefeed In this country. A crew of eturdj men of Yale rowed the course In 9 minutes 19Vj seconds , a trllle lighter crew of Harvard freshmen fought them every inch ot the way and finished a trlfla over two lengths behind them , and tha Cornell freshmen , whose college record li that none of Its freshmen crews has ever been beaten before , finished a length behind Harvard In 9 29 6. The brat previous record for two miles was 9 41. made by the Columbia freshmen crew of ' 94 at New London In 1S91. While the conditions here are better for fast time than they are upon the Thames , an-l while therefore some allowance should bo made for the much better exhibition , thu da.v's race was a very remarkable one , all three of the crews bavin ? lowered the rec ord , the last crew In the lace doing so by eleven seconds. All tlreo of the crews uscJ every pound of power In their boat at every stage of the two miles The victory of today Is looked upon by tha crowds here tonight as being In some meas ure Indicative of the result of Trldaj's big 'varsity race. It Is not contended that the order of finish will be the same for Mr. Ichmann of Harvard tia.i all a'ong said that hs ! freshmen had been bacly neglected and could not be looked upon as a representative freshmen crew. On the contrary , the Yale crew of joung'tcrs had been said to be more oure of winning than their 'varsity , whllo Mr. Courtney's Cornell crews have had equal attention paid to them The chances there fore as picked out tonight arc that the order of Friday's finlrh is likelj to be Harvard , Yale , Cornell. THE START. The start , which wee originally scheduled for 3 30 , was postponed because of water condlt'ons until 7 o'clock. When the boata got In line at T 10 the pistol sounded. Har vard got the best clip on the water and In A few strokes drew * to the front , closely fol lowed by Cornell , with Yale almost a quarter of a length to the rear Cornell and Harvard started with thirty-five stroked to the min ute and Yale with a sweeping stroke ot thirty-four. At the eighth of a mile Yale , finding that she was trailing behind , in- crea ed her stroke to thlrtv-tlx and began to draw up , while Harvard and Cornell dropped down to thirty-four each. At th quarter Yale was still behind but secmeil to be rowing1 ecslly , while Harvard and Cornell were woiking hard. Cornell drawing ? up upon the Harvard lead Yale wan eenlng up her stroke and within the next half-milt * brought It down to thlrtthree and thirty- four , but cven hen she seemed to gain anil there was a perceptible dash to the boat that seemed lacking In the othe a At the three- quarter mark It became apparent that the heavier weights in the Yale boit were going to prove troublesome to the lighter joung- ters In the Harvard beat and the still lighter ones In the Cornell shell Just crossing the mile line Yale had picked her boat even with that of Harvard and was swinging ltd nose- forward a few lnchc-5 with each stroke. Cornell was laboring a length behind , Har vard rowing a rapid thlrtj-tlx stroke to Cornells thirty-five and Yale's stead > thirty- three. YALE'S STEADY WORK. Prom that point to the finish Yale rowed steadily at thlrtthrce and thirty-four , quickening to thl ty-elv several lengths front the finish In an endeavor to make the breach between her old enemy ( Harvard ) and her- relf a trifle wider And. although Harvard picked her stroke up to thl1 ty six after passing the mile and held It there until the finish it lacked power and the boat dropped gradually behind , creasing the line a trifle over two lengths behind the Yale boat. When Yale passed both the Harvard and Cornell crews Just bejond the mile mark Cornell , vho had pulled their boat on to even terms , nnd perhaps as pten from the observation train , slightly In advance of Harvard , made a desperate effort to krcp Yale from gaining , but It was of less avail even than Harvard's attempt , and at ( lie mile and a half there wfB clear water between Yale and Harvard. From there to the close Cornell stsoked up to thlrty-elx and finished an even length In HarvardV rear None nf the credit appeared the worse for the experience , but Yale waa decidedly the frcpnect of the three. oivij Tin : MW uai ; A xmr % To ! ! < Cull I'd MM1 < - ! lKlliof Ohio Val- ! < > HliiK-flilllc Cliilix.
