court, in its findings, said: f

of Windsor. j
London, June 23. (By Cable.)
This day has been one of the most fa
tiguing of the week for the Queen, the
official programme demanding the re
ception of several distinguished bodies
and official personages; the inspection
of the body guard and yeoman of the
guard, a garden party and the reception
addresses at w indsor.
The chief event of the day. one of
the most interesting of the entire week.
was tne presentation to tbe vuecn 01
the congratulatory addresses by both
houses of Parliament which occurred at
Buckingham palace this morning.
Nearly half a century has passed since
the House of Commons visited the
Sovereign in a body, the last occasion
being the presentation 01 tne address
acknowledging the reception of the
Queen s addrsss announcing the declar
ation of war against Bussia; and not
since tbe early forties when addresses
were made congratulating the Queen on
the failure of the attempts of assassina
tion, has she received the two houses
together.
There were very brief formalities at
Westminister today. The two houses
meeting, the ' formal announcement
was made by Lord Salisbury in the
House of Lords and Hon Arthur J.
Balfour in the House of Commons,
that the Queen would be pleased to re
ceive both houses. The members at
once started in a procession to the pal
ace, iney asseoiDiea in tne cnamoer
adjoining the throne room. After a
briei delay tne doors were tnrown open
and he announcement made that the
Queen-was prepared to give them au
dience. . Thereupon the Lord Chancel
lor and the Speaker of the House of
Commons advanced side by side to the
throne.
Followed by .members of the House
Lord Salisbury knelt at the foot of the
throne and read the address, his knee
bended, and handed it to the Cjueen. .
The final episode of her progress was
at the castle gates where addresses from
the W indsor bodies were received, as
the Queen's carriage arrived at the en
trance of her home, the national anthem
was chanted in welcome by three hun
dred voices.
The day s festivities were brought to
an end by the illumination of the pal
ace. V
This afternoon the Queen returned to
Windsor. Her progress was a trium
phal procession. On the route the royal
party stopped at 8 tough, Eaton ollege
and Windsor, wnere uiey were receive
by the local authorities with impressive
formalities and most enthusiastically
welcomed by the populace.

Prudently Cautious.
Messrs. R. O. Dun k Co. Weekly
Review of Trade for the week ending
Saturday, June 20th, says: There Is ne
step backward in. business, although
the season of midsummer is quite near.
Improvement continues gradual and
prudently cautious as before, although
i many orancnes evident, where no
signs of it appeared m. f wVs crn
Business men of the highest standing in
.P'8 ot country, having grad
ually perceived that the tide has be
gun to rise, are regulating their con
tracts and investments and their . plans
for the future with a confidence ite
unknown to- them a short time ago.
Great changes before the adjournment
of congress are hardly to be expected,
but removal of uncertainty is with
reason expected to bring into operation
buying forces which have been restrict
ed for months. The main factor at this
time is the steadily brightening pros
pects of crops. Harvesting of wheat In
some winter wheat States has already
begun, with surprisingly good results
in the central region ana California, so
uat owpuw ions is now caned tne min
imum from the latter State, and statis
ticians of repute calculate on 60,000,000
bushels winter wheat beyond the gov
ernment estimates. Spring wheat is
doing remarkably well with a practical
ly unknown increase of acreage. The
price haa advanced 1 during the week,
with a decxaase of 1,200,000 bushels
in western receipts and Atlantic exports
of 1,443,947 . bushels, flour included,
against 1,718.961 last year, but it is just
the season when figures have no value
except as proving how erroneous were
estimates of the crop of 1896. Cotton
was lifted an eighth without reason, and
has fallen back as much, because every
thing points to a larger crop than has
been commonly expected. Iron and
steel products average a small fraction
lower in published quotations, but only
because private concessions which are
now refused were by various authori
ties complacently concealed two weeks
ago. Pig iron is firmer with a better
demsnd at the east and at Chicago but
the impatience of valley furnaces to re
sume work keeps Bessemer and grey
forge at last week's quotstionr at Pitts
burg. 1
The resume of new business material
increase in orders forplates, in partfor
ship building, in bars for agricultural
implement works in structural shapes
for buildings and bridges, and in galva
nized sheets. One heavy contract for
300 miles SO inch and 100 miles 10 inch
pipe, songht by the Australian govern
ment for gold regions, excites many
hopes in the trade. The great ore pro
ducing companies are cutting prices for
mesabi Bessemer, fayal, to $2. 10, ap
parently in order to score the biggest
possible business of the year as a basis
for future combination. Tin has
slowly advanced to 14s. in spite of
heavy arrivals, 1,200 tons of lead nave
been sold, moderate quantities now
bringing from 8.42 1-2 cents and pur
chases advance lake copper to 11 l-8c
There is encouraging increase in the
demand for all textile goods, even for
cotton, which have so long been slow,
and though it is but moderate there is
nothing of a speculative character in
tbe transactions, and prices are firmly
held. Reorders for woolens have been
rather better than were expected from
clothiers and fairly good for dress
goods. Operations in spring goods
are still deferred. While mills are
somewhat better employed, and are
buying to some extent, most of the
purchases of wool are for speculation,
nearly three-quarters being at Boston
alone, and the aggregate was 8,732,800
pounds at the three chief markets, 3,
610,800 of foreign wool. Doraestio wool
is still held at relatively high prices at
tbe West Failures for the week have
been 216 in the .United Ktates against
217 last year, and 24 in Canada against
24 last year.

A special from Key West, Fla., to

says: For five hours the city haa been
on the verge of a race war. Mrs. Mag
gie Atwell, white, was . ravished on
Wednesday afternoon, by Sylvester
Johttaaa, calored. who was promptly
identified and jailed. -Two unsnocees
ful attempts were made by white men
yesterday to get at him to lynch him,
and these efforts greatly enraged
the 1 blacks. As measure of
precaution against an cutbreak on
either side, the Island City Guards,
the local militia company, slept at the
armory last night Late in the evening
the negroes, openly threatening to burn
the elty and kill the white inhabitants,
surrounded the county jail and the ar
mory, and began to discharge fixe arms
promiscuously. Win. Gardner, an in
offensive and highly respected white
citizen, was killed by a bullet. James
Sawyer, another white man. waa beat
en senseless by the blacks. No further
outbreaks have occurred to-day. The
militia took their guns from the ar
mory this morning, and to-night are at
the city hall, while 200 citizens sworn
in as deputy sheriffs, and th soldiers
at the United States barracks are ready
to assist the militia.
Tallahaesa, Fla.. June 83. Upon re
ceipt of a teletrram from Eev WesL
Adjutant General Houston immediately
wired to the Key West militia company
to report at once to Sheriff Khisht for
duty, and Governor Bloxham telegraph
ed to President McKinley as follows:
"The sheriff at Key West wires me
as follows:
'A negro prisoner is in jail charged
with rape on a white woman. An at
tempt was made to lynch him. The
negroes are greatly enraged and
threaten! (to burn the city and
kill the whites. A large num
ber of negroes last night sur
rounded the jail and court house
square, and about 11 o'clock the negroes
began firing riflss and pi tola, killing
one white man; and several others are
reported wounded. Great excitement
prevails and serious trouble is impend
ing tonight. I request yon to order
the Key est militta company to our
assistance, but am afraid that one com
pany will be powerless before a mob of
infuriated blacks, and ask that you re
quest the President of the United
btatea to ask the commanding officer of
the United States here to assist the au
thorities if necessary to preserve life
and property. No State troops can
reach Key West sooner than Sunday
night'' -
"Similar request were wired by the
county judge, circuit clerk, immigra
tion inspector and two justices of the
peace. Owing to the distance of Key
West from the mainland, I can furnish
only the one company in Key West, and
male application for the assistance of
