( New York Herald Untile Special to tlio BKK.J In western phrase , literally and not metaphorically , the ton was painted red all ttio evening. Iiosltlvely 100,000 red fuses burning In the city , on the embankments and thoroush- fares , In the. hands of Immense masses of flight-seers , who obstructed c\ery where rrhlcular tralllc and the fllduwalks. By day light everywhere was to bo seen to-day red cloth , principally from windows otT the line of the procession , and on the balconies and platforms along which It Is to pass. Nearly all the myriad Illuminations have been this evening rohcarsed. London at 10 p. in , looked , from Primrose hill , tit John's wood , us If between Victoria tower , parliament houHcs and St. J'aul dome immense tires were consuming the shopn and the mansions. These Illuminations are , In many instances , costly and elaborate , but , to be frnnk , are conventional and commonplace. The elec tric light is not used. Hundreds of building reproduce the faded candle and oil lamp's glories , in colors , clusters and alphabetical arrangements , which belonged to the old Cremorne Krdeus and the Vaux hall and Nlblo's gardens in your elty at the time Vic toria was crowned. American Inventions and originality of design arc largely lacking in the London Illuminations. The mottoes are trite. Flags are displayed and grouped without taste. LONDONKHS VKIIY UNEASY. That which ought to strike many foreign visitors who walk the professional thorough fare Is nn appearance of London being In a state of beige , that Londoners are being pto- tccted against themselves and disloyalty , against the possibilities of felonl/ed Watt Tylers and Jack Cades. Along Piccadilly , St. James , Waterloo Place , etc. , and oven In the ndjicent sldo streets , extra shutters , now fastenings and boarding or , as called here , hoardings have been extensively erected. The shopkeepers have not forgotten the Sunday and Saturday orgies on the days last year when looting was coincident with , al- pcrhaps not the result ofrealistlc processions. Your reporters have found great symptoms of uneasiness among the people about the coming events of jubilee day. A ( IKIIAT JAM KXt'KCTEI ) . At least : iooo,000 people will endeavor to sqnee/e themselves Into nreas calculated to comfortably fuinlsh standing or spectators' room for less than 1,000,000. The balconies meant for families will bo used by packed slght-soers. At least 5500,000 have been paid for seats on Improvised stands and ampul- thcateia hastily built of green wood. A SKCTAKIAN BKNSATION. Some sensation was created at the abbey to-day by the return of tickets by all the Catholic peers , commoners and many guests Of that faith. Several Irish guests have Joined the I'arnellltcs In also withdrawing. THE CA.TI1OI.IC BKRVICKB. About half of these absentees will be at a musical high mass at the cathedral at Ken sington at 10 a. in. A covered canopy has been erected from High street to the front entrance , about fifty > nrds. I found the gorgeous sanctuary had been fitted with two thrones , the right one to be occupied by Monsleuor Ruffs Scllla , envoy extraordinary from the pope to the queen , and ttio left one by Car dinal Manning , who , surrounded by his can ons and monslcnors train , will bo carried by the eight-year-old Lord Ohtagan , son of tlio late Irish lord chancellor. On the altar will bo the Lord Itlshopof Northampton , assisted by Iluv. Lord Charles Thynno nnd the Lord liisliop of Amycla , assisted by Hov. M. Fan- nlng. Among the congregation will bo representatives of the principal Catholic families of Kugland , headed by the Duke of Norfolk , Marquis Butte , Earl of Denbigh , Lords North and Howard , etc. , etc. After mass will bo gl\cn an exposition of tlio blessed sacrament , at which a "To Doum" will be suiiK. At the end of the service "God Save the Queen" will bo given on the organ , the whole congregation standing , and while leaving "Cornatlon" march will be plaved. Kev. C. Coo , of the cathedral , Informed your rcoorter that the whole service had been sub mitted toiler majesty , who appioved. Ho addcd , : "She expressed herself pleased to see her Catholic subjects colncldontly cele brating the jubilee and thanksgiving at the same hour as the Protestant services , con ducted In Westminster abbey , " HOW WK8TMIN8TKB AllIlKf WII.I/I.OOK. American tourists familiar with the latter , oral ! having pictures .of Its interior , can readily fancy how It will look to-morrow by mentally placing the royal dais In the center nave , between the poet's corner and oppo site tlio entrance , while against the sides of all the naves will bo rising galleries , built from the lloor , covered with red cloth , with seats twenty Inches wide. Kiom these a tew only can see well , but all can hear , provided theieis no suffoca tion. To American visitors at the abbey In past It would be absolutely unrecognizable It looks as If the queen were going to lay the foundation stone rather than take part in the solemn ceremonies within "tho walls. They have looked down upon historic scenes some six hundred years. For all that the abbey will have to do with the ceremonla the | quern fmlicht as well have had 1 performed In the main building of the American exhibition , and really spectators outside the abbey will to-day more graciously illustrate the victorious era than tlioso with in It. DISPARAGING COMMKNT9. One who is an arlbtocratlo tory , but an enemy to flunkylsm , told mo thus : "imagine to-morrow'a scene as It wHlhavo tobe handcc down to posterity. The abbey Itself trans formed portrays nobodies. Really great men will be conspicuous by their absence. Conr llunkys of the major and minor sort of obscure members of parliament , their still more ob scure wives , parliamentary clerks-these are the personages who will llgure as representa tives of all that is characteristic of the Itrlt Ian nation in the jubilee j ear of Queen Vic toria , " A radical member of parliament is respon filblc for this comment : "Probably the most painful fact in connection with tbo jubilee fete is the bitter cry which arises from nuni bers of Industrious worklngmen who are striving hard to make two ends meet ant find themselves compelled to lose three o four da > Votk with its concoraltau pay. A poor remmnbranco of the jublleo If It consists In less food and Increasei worry. Even a brilliant Mat * pageant wll not compensate for this. " A gorgeous , poctio and realistic preacher lo the London poor has Just made the follow lug remarks which , during the procossloi duubHcM well up iu 10,000 icarts : "Tho yards of sermons being preached just now , in which her majesty is buttered both sides bo- ; auso she has been a good wife and mother , ccpt the commandments , she prayed , tor icing a good woman , are quite right , but hero are millions of good women In the world. There is nothing In the fact .hat tlio sovereign has done her duty In icr homo to go delirious with rapture about. [ have looked hi vain In these sermons for reference to her majesty's constant neglect of her duties as a sovereign. To do one's duty In that state of life Into which it shall 3 1 ease God to call us Is generally conceived , o bo the Important Item In a Christian career. The state to which Victoria was called was that of queen. In that posi tion she has of Into years stolidly refused to do her duty. As a woman the queen Is above reproach ; as a queen she is open to the gteatest censure. " CI.KVKI.ANIl'S CONOHATUr.ATlONS. I Pressl The queen this afternoon received Phelps , United Mates Minister , at Bucklng- liam palace lor the purpose of allowing him to present President Cleveland's jublleo con gratulations.

Some time ago the council granted the use of Fancull hall for a celebration In honor of Queen Victoria's Jublleo to-morrow night. This brought out n protest and petition to rescind the action.

Through EOIIIO mistake the hall wns not opened until < J o'clock , when it was immedi ately packed with people.

She has beaten all the male students In the classics , being the only one of either sox to pass In the first division. What Is additionally remarkable is that her father , Sir James Ramsey , a Scotch baronet. and her undo , Prof. George Hamsey , of Glas gow university , each obtained first class In the classics when they took degrees at Ox ford. Miss Uamsey has just reached twenty years , and several of her male competitors were older. Her proficiency In Latin or Greek was equal.

[ Special Tele gram to the UKK. ] Popularattotition having been directed to the captured fiags in the custody ot the war department , there has been some Inquiry concerning the disposal ot the flags captured during the rebellion by the United States navy. The proposed re turn of the banners captured In the field sug gested a return ot tlioso taken on the water , and Secretary Whitney was called upon to day for some Information as to their where abouts. The democratic secretary of the navy was r.ither nonplussed and after consid ering a while he confessed that he knew nothing about them. Ho added , however , with a smlli ) that ono thing was certain , ho had given no order for tholr return to their former owners. The question asked the secretary was then put In succession to each of the bureau ofilclals in the navy depart ment until the startling fact was developed that not one on duty then present had the slightest idea of their where abouts. It was suggested by the chief clerk that three rebel naval fla s might bo In the naval academy at Annapolis , but Prof. Salny , of the naval department , In charge ot the war records of the navy , who has written a history of the naval academy , stated posi tively that they were not at Annapolis. The flags there , ho stated , wore tlioso captured during the revolution and the war ot 18i2but to his knowledge thoio were no rebel colors. This is a strange discovery aud a most oin- banassini ; ono tor all concerned , and when the seriousness of the situation was finally realised the oulv Idea that occurred to the officials was tlmt piobably some of the repub lican ex-secriiturie.s might know where the flags wtro stored. The law of 1884 for the preservation and p\hlbltlon ol captured flags is the same for the navy as for the war de partment , and there is considerable con sternation in official circles over the new complication to the atlalr by the Inquiries seton on loot to-day. The Supreme Court Vacancy. WASHINGTON , June 20. [ Special Tele gram to the Uir. : . [ There Is a growing bo- llet that the vacancy on the supreme court bench made by the death of Justice Woods will bo filled by the appointment of Sccretaiy Lamar. That gentleman says , however , that ho has knowledge of the Intentions of tin' president In the matter aud that ho has never been sDokeu to on the subject. It Is believed that the president does not Intend to fill the vacancy just yet. Thcro Is no cause lor. haste and he will probably wait until just before the time for the meeting of the court In tlu ; autumn. The president Is a\eise to putting any " ( load timber" on the supreme bench. Ho wants to make the very best se lection possible , and as the appointment is awarded to thn south , and It Is known that the president locards Secretary Lamar as tlio greatest representative of that section , there. Is reason to believe he will makn the appoint ment. The indications aio that Secretary Lumar will accept the position , thouch ho has reasons to believe that as long as ho lives he can get any honor within the gilt of the people ot Mississippi. It is believed by mauv of his friends that a place on tlio supreme bench would just suit him. Military Matters.

[ Special Telegram to the BIJE.I The story published in Now York to the effect that some ono proposes to exhibit the "head of the Assassin Gultcau , " caused some comment hero to-day , and led tea a number of inquiries as to the disposition of the remains of the murderer. The body of Gulteau was taken to tlio army medical museum after the execution and placed In the hands of Dr. SchafTcrt , who was at the time the anatomist of the museum. Ho re moved the soft parts of the body , and all the bones and also the brain arn now at the museum , though not on public exhibition , and never have been. It was supposed that all the soft parts of the body were burned , as Is the usual course at the museum when a bodv is prepared for articulation. The mu seum authorities do not know whether the sott paits weio destroyed or not. They say that It Is very posslblu that Instead of destroy ing the muscles and flesh of thn head and neck after it was taken from the bones It might have been preserved and set up. and that Is probably what is referred to. But the skeleton of Gulteau complete , he.id and all , is now In the museum. Dr. Lamb , who per > formed the autopsy on Gulteau's body , said to-day : " 1 haven't thn least doubt tills thing In Now York _ Is Guiteau's head. It Is genu ine. Mr. ShatTcrt , the museum anatomist , doubtless preserved the scalp and face of the assassin , with the hair and beard undis turbed , placed them In alcohol , and when ho got a rood chance sola the thing. Ho left the museum over two years ago. " Endicott and the Flags. WASHINGTON , June 20.

How Queen Vic's Jubilee Pudding was Spoiled by reworks. NEW VoitK , Juno 20. ( Special Telegram to the BEH.J Two dollars' worth of fire crackers , plnwhcels aud penny Roman can dles bought at ono of the Park Place fire works shops , has convulsed the British em pire and a good part of the rest of the world , shaking Victoria on her throne and spoiling thotastoof her jubilee pudding. All this was not the result of any carefiil preparation by a fireworks company anxious for a line "ad , " but was paitly patriotic nlTectlon In the heart of a Monroe street , New York , mother and partly spontaneous combustion on the part of British detectives. These fireworks were never intended to tickle anything big ger than the fifteen-year-old heart of Willie Musgravo , and their sound to echo further than the homo of Wllllo's uncle , where ho will bo spending his vacation from Mount Mlllery seminary , County Waterford , after Julyl.

Peter was golnn to vleit his relatives and Just before starting , called on Mrs. Musgravo to tell them of his trip. It was sutrnested that the opportunity would bo a good ono to send to young Wllllo some American fireworks with which to cele brate the Fourth. Mr. Troy was wllllnc to bo the messenger , and 82 was forthwith In vested in roman candles , nltmlipels , and lira crackers , which were packed In n little sean box with an old pair of trousers wrapped around thorn to keen thorn from being acci dentally set oil' . Two notes were also put Into the box , one to the Tipperary relatives and the other to the "little fellow , " telling him that next time they'd send him moro but that those would have to do for the present. The box was sent to the steamer dock , addressed to Mr. Trov and nothing more was thought of It until the cable dispatches announced that a terrible dynamite plot had been discovered , and an American , Peter Troy , landing from the Adriatic had been arrested with the ox- plosives. In the hou- on Monroe street yesterday there was unalloyed merriment over the allair , a merriment which prob ably Is not shared by poor Mr. Troy , presumably sweltering in a Queonstown dungeon until the "e\- nerts" who , Ills announced , have been summoned to Investigate thn "Infernal ma chines , " have operated on the penny Roman caudles and amputated the tire crackers , and submitted the pin wheels to chemical tests.

O'Neill was behind the bat up to the end of the fifth Inning , when an injured finger compelled him to retire. He was replaced by Meyers , who , Doing unused to Hogan's delivery , could hardly hold the ball , and consequently played poorly.

( Special Telegram to the Br.K. | Army and navy olllccr * In this city and elsewhere are receiving circulars from a Him of usurers In Wheeling , West Virginia , who oiler to discount their ac counts with the army or navy department at Ihe exorbitant rnto of 3 per cent per mouth. The firm which Is to eugago Iu this usurious business signs Itself U. Forbes & Co. The lit m announces that It Intends to do busi ness "on the square" and at the lowest pos sible rates. It rolers to any of the banks of Wheeling any of the county or state officers to J. J. Jncksnn , Judge ot thu district court of the United States for the district of West Vligliila , to J. N. Cauidcu , late United States senator from West Virginia , and to General B. F. Kelly of Washington. Ac companying the circular is a private letter of Instructions asking officers to bend to the firm their accounts for the month which they deslro to discount , filled In and signed precisely as they would be prepared for the paymaster. Kuch account Is to bo endorsed In blank. This linn suggests that It would bo agreeable for It to have the officers draw the pay them selves and in order to facilitate this It otTcis , upon naymcnt of Interest due and forwardIng - Ing of next month's account , cndorspd In blank , to return the account originally mort- Bated. By this little scheme an artnv or navy officer can be kept continually Indebted to these men , with the privilege of paying 20 per cent interest on his money every month for the boon of constant slavery. Several of ficers vt ho have received these circulars are indignant at the Insult thus offered to the service , and especially disgusted that a United States senator , as Camden was when the firm first pave him as reference , could bo induced to glvo his countenance to such a schema. - A Fraudulent Pension. CiiicAoo. Juno 20. [ Special Telegram to the Bee. I Francis Patterson , better known as Blind Patterson , who received over 513- 000 as back pension recently , has parted with the money already. As soon as Patterson re ceived his check , several Individuals became interested in his behalf. A legal movement was instituted to place Patterson and his money In the hands ot a guardian. While the proceedings were under way , Patterson and his wife and daughter lied from thestatc , going to Troy , Pa. At Troy they were met by Dr. A. N. Mills , and went to Wllllamsport , where the ccrtlficato of deposit of 810,000 on the Second National bank of Etinira was turned over to Mills , hu holding power ot at torney for the blind pensioner. AS soon as the check of deposit came to the Second National bink for collection , Dvaid Pratt , teller of the bank , who had been appointed guardian of Patter son , immediately made preparations for overhauling the parties. At Koiiova , Pn. , he found Patterson and his wife and daugh ter , but Mills had gene on to Washington with nearly tlio entire amount of the pen sion. When It became known that the Pat tersons and Dr. Mills had fled fiom the city an astounding state of affairs came to light In connection with the Patterson pension. Wllkes Miller , a well-known citizen , went before Justice Galalln and made affidavit that at the Instigation of Mills and on prom ise of 81,000 it the pension was secured he made affidavit that Patterson had sore eyes while In the army. Now It appears that Pat terson's blindness was caused by dlsoascaud not by service in the armv and that the large amount of pension received by him WAS se cured by fraud , and the government will have the task of arresting and punishing every one connected with the fraudulent transaction. _ _ A Biff Attachment.
