ADDRESSES AND LUNCHEON King Edward's Reply to the Address of the County Counoll-Boer Gen- erals in the Stand-Mtne, Albeni Sang -Aloha in. Guild Hall Dome Soon After, London, Oct. 25. -King Edward and Queen 'Alexandra etarted on the royal progress toward the, city short- ly after noon to -day in somewhat dull weather. The rain, however, kept off. The procession Termed up outside the gate, and had already moved off when the first carriage contain- ing royal personages and members of the household emerged therefrom. The veteran Duke of Cambridge, who was in a carriage with the Princess Victoria, came in for considerable cheering, but Lord Roberts and his staff passed almost unnoticed. There was a somewhat tedious interval be- fore the appearance of their Majaa- tiee, who drew forth the First Real Cheers of the day as they passed through the rows of blue -jackets from the first-class cruiser Terrible, lining each side of the main entrance to the palace. The King 'wore a field marshal's uniform, with the cloak thrown back, allowing his decorations. The Queen had on a straw-colored toque, and. ,e fur collarette and cloak. Both the King and Queen looked exceedingly Well, and continu- ously bowed their acknowledgments of the warm welcome extended to them. The King's escort of Life Guards, equerries, etc., was about the only detachment of the procession not wearing eloak' e and these troop- ers made a brilliant display. Partly in consequence of the length of the route there was nowhere a great crush of people, with tbe ex- ception of open spaces like Trafal- gar Square, whore the London County Council presented the King with an address- of welcome, and where The Boer Generals, Botha, Delarey and Dewet, were prominent among the spectators, and at the ee.ty boundary, Temple Bar, where the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs ond other citizens welcomed His Ma- jesty and presented him with the city's sword. At the Mansion House most of the precession stopped, their Majesties from there being accompanied by the sovereign's escort, and the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Con- naught and other Princes, equer- ries' and aides to he Guild Hall, where they arrived without any extraordinary incidents. Owing to the King's carriages be- ing the last, some confusion occur- red at the entrance of the Guild Hall in an endeavor to empty the carriages quickly and avoid keep- ing. Ns Majesty the King waiting Who the King arrived he looked tired and stepped heavily from his carriage. The Queen threw off the wrap which covered her simple straw colored dress, trimmed with gold. Her Majesty, who looked marvelously youthful and well, ac- cepted a bouquet from the lady efey- Gress and the King sheok hands with her. The prooe.ssion then started off down a long, picturesque row of beef -eaters.? , t • , In the Great Hall the seven hundred persons waiting about the luncheon table, cheered as 'the King came in. His Majesty accepted the corporation's address, and then the members of the Royal family sat down and the luncheon commenced. The most interesting features of the Royal progress up to this point was the King's reply to the address of the London County Council on Trafalgar Square. The Boer generals occupied prominent seats in the center of the County Council stand, immediately facing the King. His Majesty's reply was clearly audible .to all in the vicinity. He Oak]: The King's Reply, " It gives much pleasure both to myself and the Queen to receive in person the loyal and dutiful address of the centre of municipal authority on the occasion of our progress through the capital of the empire, and to receive the greetings of our people on our coronation. Your con- fidence that my favor will be extend- ed to every measure calculated to ameliorate the conditionof my sub- jects is well founded, and of the im- oortant stibjnects which conic under consideration none appeal more strongly to my interest and eympa- thy than those drectly toucling on the welfare of the poorer classes of -thin and other great cities. !thank you for your good wishes ror myself and my house. I cordially share your aspiration that it may be granted me 'by the same divine Providence which preserved my life from imminent dan- ger to reign over my firmly estab- lished and peaceful empire, and in the loyal hearts of my contented and prosperous people." The King's reply to the address in the Guild Hail was much on tho same lines as tie speech at Trafalgar Square. After lunch the common crier called for a Toast to His Majesty the Kim and Mme, Albani, station- ed in one of the galleries, sang the National Anthem, in which tho whole company joined. After other formal toftets the party left the hall and the proces- sion reformed, and it started on its progress across tine river The page- ant traversea several miles of streets oh the Surrey side or the Myer Thames. There was no special incident, though the heartiness of the welcome far transcended any- thing heard in the more aristocratic portions of time route4 Their Majeeties returned to the palace at 3.80 pare rire in Guild Mall, London, Oct. 25. -The Guild Hall caught fire shortly after theIr Moe jesties left the building.

Deserted Woman Throws Acid anti Misses Her Target. New York, Oct, W. -Maurice Cuu- ningliam will be blind for life, the doctors think. He was walking along Amsterdam avenue on Saturday night, he says, when a woman ap- proached him. Another man was walking near him. The woman took a bottle of carbolic acid from lien pocket and the other man ducked as she throw it at his face. (lune ningliam got the acid full in the eyes. When he came to the woman and man had disappeared. Cunning- ham is a clerk, living at ;211 West Sixty-sixth street. He was taken to Roosevelt Hospital. The doctors sent him home yesterday without any hope. Lest night Peter McGrath, of 203 West Sixty-third street, went to the West Sixty-eighth street statlon and told the sergeant that he was the man the twill had been meant for. The woman who threw the acid, he said, was Kate Donohue, of 218 West Sixty-sixth street. He hael lived with ben for six years, ac- cording to his story, but three weeks ago had left her. She had been look- ing for him, McGrath said, and said she would be revenged. Tim pollee found the Donohue Wo- man sick in bed. She had given birth to a still -born child on Friday. She was seat to Bellevue under arrest, She refused to make any statement. 110[0000115 TREK, Take Few Provisions and Will Soon be Destitute, STORY TOLD BY 1, W. M'CARROLL Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 26.-j. W. Me Carroll, a real estate agent, has re- turned from! a trip through the Doukhobor district northeast of Yorkton. A repoeter called on Mr. McCarron and elated him if he had seen anything of tile large bodies of Doukhobors whieb have recently been reported to be on the march toward Yorkton. , eyes,. replied Mr. McCarron, "there seems to be a general move- ment from all tile villages. I visited quite a number of their villages, and their population was in every case very Much depleted. In some I would find only a few families, while in one the only living thing to be seen was a dog. It was impossible to judge whether they intended to come back, or atether they considered it imma- terial what became of their world- ly goods. I looked Into the commun- al granary of one village and found 1,000 bushels of grain, besides flour. At length I came to a Tillage about 40 miles from Yorktoa. About 5,000 Doukhobors were congregated in the village, and little knots were ?gathered, all discussing one matter earnestly. I was informed people had gathered here `to make a big prayer' preparatory to going on a pilgrim- age 'to find Jesus.' There were wo- men, children and old men assembled there, as well as the younger men, and all appeared to have their minds centred enthusiastically on the one subject. "Last Thursday I returned ote Yorktore. About 25 miles from that town I passed a large body, Mem- orising probably 1,103 Doukhobors, headed towards the south. They were straggling along for two miles, car- rying their sick and children. Their only previsions consisted of a peck of bread for each person. I found the bread to be of the very coarsest kind, me.ee of whole wheat, bran and all. It was as hard as bread cv possibly be, and they ate it aftee dipping it into the water in elougin they were barefooted, and wox nothing but cotton clothing, as theb religious principles prevented then from. wearing wool or any other ani- mal products. Their provisions can- not possibly last them! More than 'a few days, when they will be ab- solutely destitute. They may therefore be almost said to be destitute, although they have any amount of provisions in their villages, and have left grain in their granaries and stacks of wheat and flax In their fields. They appear to be perfectly conscientious in their action, and I da not think they will use force on any consideration. I do net think they themselves have any well -formed idea as to where they are going. They seem to be heading in a general southward direction, and it would seem that their inten- tion is to centre at Yorkton, where there 'will probably be a grand rally.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 27. -The three district presidents on. Sunday morning before President Mitchells departure for Washington had a lows conference with him. They re- mained with him until 1 o'clock, when he started for Washington, D. C. The matters under discussion were the plans for presenting evidence to the commission and the disturbing situation in the Hazleton region, the Panther Creek district and at some of the smaller collieries throughout the Schuylkill and Shamokin regions, where the operators are refusing to re-engage the men unless they sign contracts agreeing to abide by the decision of the commission and not to interfere With the non-union men working. President Mitchell would not say what action had been taken, if any, but President Duffy, of the Hazleton district, declared that the men there 'would not return, to work Li they are required to sign the agreements. Form of Agreement. The agreement required by Par- dee & Co. Is as follows: "As a, condition precedent to my employment I do hereby solemnly promise not to interfere with or molest in any way any non-union men or any men now at work, or who may have worked during the strike, or who may work hereafter for my employers, and I de further agree to work vvith them as evith any other employees." The locals comprising the G. B. Markle & Co. employees held a meet- ing and appointed a cominittee to wait on the officials to ascertain under what conditions their men should return to work, The com- mittee met Mr. Markle, and he stated that under none other than as individuals. It was decided unani- mously by the men to continue on strike until they receive different conditions. Rioters Not Wanted. The situation in the Panther Greek Valley is not relieved. The Le- high Coal and Navigation Company is not re-employing the men in large numbers, and the strikers say, is blacklisting all those who were pro- minent during the strike. The men who took leading parts in it and those who are under indictment for riot or otter strike disturbances are not only being refused work, but are being ordered to vacate the' cow- pony's, houses they occupy. The strik- ers leelieve et is their intention to force every man the officials de not like out of tile region, and the feel.. tug is very bitter in consequence, The company is also enforcing the order to protect non-union men. the great demand all Over the coun- try for Means of tranoportation. tA. car famine is feared, Owing to About the Inquiry.

IIETHEIITING TO llEfIBEHli, Col. Swayne's Force Not Molested by Mad Mullah. DETAILS OF THE SEVERE FIGHT. Landon, Oct. 27.-A despatch to the London Daily Mail from Simla, India, reports that Col. Swayne, and his forces are continuing their march from Dolma° to Berbera,. Somaliland, East Africa, and that they are not pursued. , Details of the fighting on October 6 between the force and; the follow- ers* of the Mad Aluilair show, that a more serious disaster was only averted by the splendid example of the few white officers. As it was, the British force last a Maxim gun and 70 men killed, while 62 or the enemy's dead were counted close to the firing line. Shortly after the British expedition left their forti- fied camp for leetalug, Oct. 6, the Mullah's farces were relented about a mile ahead, and within hair an hour while the British were advancing in single filo through a dense jungle, the enemy charged the Beitieli right flank. But the lefullalee traapla were mot with Such a severe fire that they swung round towards the Beet - We centre and left. In the mean- while the tranepart got mixed up with the firing line, which was thrcwn into confusion'and a Maxim was rushed and captured, as were oleo many camels. Major Phillips was shot while gallantly attempt- ing to rally his men, and Limit. Ever- ett was wounded while attending Major Phillips. The disorder aproad to the gun teams, which were driven back. Cap- tain Angus was killed while serving a gun. Colonel Cobbe, with a single Somali Sergeant continuing serving a. Maxim, and then Col. Swayne, the British commissioner in Somaliland, and commander of the expedition, led eplentlitl charge, checked the MiO- lah's hordes ,encl recaptured some of the tranopert. But he was unable to recover the Maxim. The British then farmed a, zareba and sent out parties to collect the scattered trans. pert. The enemy later tried to get away with the captured camels, but Swayne took out three compien- lee of troope, and after a saarp fight recovered the majority of them, and pick -ed up seventy The correepentlen•t of the London Daily Mail, who. is with the Some under Col.

Swayne to attack him, at onormoub disadvantage, woe a, good ono; bet was spoiled by an unexpected drought and terrible heat, which dried up the wells and killed the Mullah's live stock and peniee by the thousand. Finally, in the beginning of October'it wars re- plerted that the Mailable forces were scattered, and that the Mullah' him- self had only a few riflemen left with him. It was 'then that Col.

Toronto, Oct. 27. -Friction hoe again arisen between the officials to the Street Railway Company and the employees, due, the men say, to the overhearing and hostile spirit shown by a TOW Of time subordinate officialever since the strike in the summer. The latest difficulty hat; arisen over the suspension of four of the men, all of whom were pronanent during the strike and two of whom aro old employees of the company, one having served twelve years and the other eight years. Two oth- ers have not suet long records, but all are said to have been trust- worthy men. The irritating feature of the mat. ter to the Men is that in some in- stances ne reasons are said to have been specified for the suspension, and in the others the reasons are said to have been. so meagre as ter Justify a demand for an Investiga- tion on the part of time men. This investigation will be demanded at the hands Of the company at as early a data as possible. Ills Nose Blown ()ff.

Sister of the Late Statesman • Demands an Account, A BITTER CORRESPONCENCE London, Oct. 25.-riLa. Dickinson, sieter or Charles Stewart Parnell, 110.4 published letter corresponaence exchanged between herself and John Redmond, Chairman of the United Ii Ldi League, and .of the Irish Par- liamentery party, in which she de- mands an accounting of the funds raised in America to save Avondale, the estate .of Mr. Parnell, Iroin the hands of outsiders. In reply to her first letter Mr. Redmond wrote to Mrs. Dickinson, saying the objects of the American funds were the erec- tion of a monument to Mr. Parnell in Dubin and the puretase of Avon- dale house and lawn, which should be available as a residence for the Parnell family. Mr. Redmond's bid was set aside in favor of one from Mr. Boyland, a Dublin butcher, who had made an arrangement with John Parnell, brother of the de- ceased statesman. "Thus,'" said Mr. Redmond, "it was impoesible to buy the house, and the committee pro- ceeded with the project of erecting a 'Parnell statue." Mrs. Dickinson wrote again, say- ing that Mr. 13oyland now offered to accept the $25,000 collected for the purchase of the elate, and would allow the balance to remain on a ten years' mortgage. To this letter Mr. Redmond did not reply. A. proposal being made that the Parnells and Mr. Dickinson could live in the pork at Avon -dale, Mrs. Dickinson wrote: "As to the condition that any mem- bers of the family should be allowed to rerleo at Aeontiole, should they de - Sire to do so, that is to say, on suffer- ance, as either caretakers or gate- keepere, all I can say is that I think the family has suffered enough through the murder of their brother Cherles, through pecuniary difficulties and through the lees of their ances- tral home for the good of time coun- try, without the insult of Avondale being placed at their service on such tonna. It is almost incredible that such an insult should be offered the family in return for the services of their brother and the sacrifice of his property and life." . In a letter to the Irish Times Mrs. Dickinson demands a full accounting from Mr. Redmond., Saying his chance of success in America would be better "if he could show that, as regards the fund,/ he collected to redeem the ancestral home of his former leader, he had honestly and independently carried out the plans and applied time moneys to the purposes for which they were subscribed."

England to Resist Ritualism -It 'Will be Called the " Protestant Thousand," London, Oct. 25. -Emperor Wil- liam will arrive in England on Nov* 18th, and by that time It is, expected King Carlos of Portugal also will be a guest of King Edward. There is reason to believe the meeting of the three monarchs will result in import, ant international understandings, es- pecially an regards South Africa, and more partioularly Delagoa Bay, which is So vitally important to Great.. Britain as an outlet for her newly acquIred colonies.. The Portuguese Government ap- pears to be willing to transfer some potations of its South African terri- tory to British rule.

Hanbury, Minister of Agri- culture, to receive on Thursday a deputation urging the withdrawal of the ban against the importation of Argentine cattle, has given a fresh spurt to the Scottish graz- iers' movement to free Canadian cattle leen] the existing embargo. The Scottish members of Pat -lie - meat will get the Scottish agricul- turists in conference in London on Thursday, when it is hoped that further pressure will be brought on Mn. Hanbury. Certainly it would be most unfair if Argentine cattle were admitted, \virile Canadian stock was denied the same treat- ment, especially seeing that thne has abundantly proved the freedom of Canadian borne from disease. London 'butchers, when reproach- ed for the present high prices of meat, replica: "Open the ports and we will soon cut down the prices." The statement issued from the Can - editor High Cominissioner's office admits that Canada is sending Britain more cattle than ever for slaughter but would be thankful if Great Britain would revert to the old practice of admitting Canadian store cattle for fattening.
