Throughout London, the United Kingdom and the empire, in every catbedral, church or chapel of the established Church of England, were held services similar to those at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, where her Majesty paid ber devotione, and offered solemn thanksgiving. The announcement that the services at St. George's Chapel would be private, and for the members of the royal family, prevented the gathering of a large crowd.

The scene was most impreseive, and the services very simple. Her Majesty sat in the chair of state immediately in front of the communion rail, and just beside brass plate whose inscription designates the spot which was the temporary place of interment of the Prince Consort. The ladies and gentlemen who are the grand officers of the Queen's housebold entered first, followed by the military Knights of Windsor, in the full costume of cocked hats and scarlet coats. The Duke of Devonshire and Lord Roseberry occupied their stalls as Knights of the Garter. The Dean of Windsor wearing insignia of chaplain of tie Order of the Garter, officiated, assistel by the Lord Bishop of Barry aud several capons.

Punctually at eleven o'clock, amid the soft strains of an organ voluntary, the Queen arrived from tie cloisters at the entrance. Assisted by her Indisu attendant, she walked slowly to the chair of state, the congregation standing. She was drossed all in black, except for a white tuft in her bonnet. Empress Frederick of Germany, attird in deep black, took the seat at the right of the Queen, whilethe Duke of Connaught, wearing his Vindsor uniform, seated himself at her left. The others grouped themseves closely bebind, and looked very Ike a simple family of worshippers.

The service lasted forty minutes, the Queen remaining seated throughout aud following closely thespecial prayera and hymns. At the end there was pause. The Queen, with bowed head continued in silent prayer. Then folbwed a touch: ing scene, which will ever linger in the memory of those who witnessed it. Summoning Empress Frederick, who bowed low at her side, the Queen kissed her on both cheeks.

The Duke of Connaught and the others of the family followed, receiving on pended knee a token of allection. In many cases the recipient was kissed several times. The Queen was profoundly moved, and tears rolled down her cheeks. At last, and evidently with great reluctance, she beckoned her Indian attendant, and, leaning on his arm, passed slowly out of the chapel, the entire congregation standing, the soft light falling through the multi-colored windows, and the exquisite strains of the organ rising and swelling beneath the gothicbannered roof. It WeE a scene never to be forgotten, and thrilled all present with strange emotions, Services in st.

Paul's Cathedral were attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales and many of the royal family, the envoys from other countries and many other dignitaries.

The oratory was recently decorated for the occasion, the marble columns ineide the edifice being draped with crimson and the chancel with cloth of gold. The chairs or the envoys, upholstered in gold, were placed on the crimson carpet. It WAS a most striking function, the music being magnificent.

The large building crowded to its utmost capacity. Monsignor Stoner, the pope's envoy, officiated at bigh mass. At the close of the mass Cardinal Vaughan read a jubilee pastoral, eloquently reviewing the history of the Queen's reign and commending her virtues as examples for her subjects, after which he intoned the Te Deum and gave the pontifical blessing. All the envoys from Catholic countries were present in full uniform, except the Prince and Princess of Naples, who were absent owing to the presence of the papal envoy. BASEBALL.

BENATE. On the opening of the Senate to-day Mr. Allison, in charge of the tariff bill, stated that it had been expected to go on to-day with the wool schedule, but he asked consent this go over until to morrow and the Senate prothat ceed to with schedule relating to pulp, paper and books. There was 3 whispered conference between Mr. Jones (Ark.) and Mr.

Allison and no objection being made the consideration of the paper schedule proceeded. Mr. Vest moved to strike out the amendment, providing 8 retaliatory duty on wood pulp, coming from countries imposing an export duty on wood pulp; On rejected. paper, unsized, sized or glued, suitable only for books and newspapers, the tax of 15 per cent. ad valorem was fixed, provided that guch paper ball pay a less rate of duty than 3-10 of one cent per pound.

On envelopes plain, 25 per cent, boardered 30 per cent; playing cards 20 cents per pack and 20 per cent ad valorem was agreed. Mr. White moved to strike out the paragraph on corks. Disagreed to. Mr.

Allison moved to disagree to the committee amendment of 20 per cent. ad valorem on matches and to agree the House rates, with changes making the rate 8 cents per grose boxes, in place of 10 cents and 4 cents per thousand when imported in bulk, in place of one cent, Mr. Veat and Mr. Grey opposed the rates, the latter etating that the busineeg was enormously profitable. Mr.

Smith stated a letter from the proprietor of a large match concern at Camden, N. saying no increase of duty was desired and that the increase was in the interest of the Diamond Match Trust. The changes proposed by Mr. Allison were agreed to, and Mr. White then moved to substitute 20 per cent.

ad valorem; disagreed to 20-26. Mr. Pettigrew moved to add a clause fixing the rate on safety fuse at 10 per coat. He taid the article was controlled by a trust. He said he proposed to place Senators from the mining States on record, to see if they favored giving this bonus to the truat as against the miners.

Mr. Teller supported Mr. Pettigrew'e contention. He felt that the committee Lad not beard from the individuals, but only from the trust. Certainly thero was nothing in the item to aid AUT one but the trust.

the course of the discoussion Mr. Teller remarked that be would have some other questions to aak the committee before the bill was completed. The vote on the Pettigrew amendment was yeas 24, Days 24, a tie, the Vice President declared the amendment lost. Messrs. Mantle, Pettigrew, Stewart and Teller, silver republicans, voted in the affirmative with the democrate.

Mr. Allen asked what the committee proposed doing on hides. Mr. Allison responded that he had asked that hides g0 over in order to reach an understanding as to whether the rate was to be ad valorem of specitic. So far as be knew, he added, the committee intended to ask the Senate to retain the duty on bides, either ad valorem or specific.

Mr. Stewart remarked that he hoped the rate whatever it was would be enough to amount to something, to which Mr. Allison jocularly remarked that he "hoped so too." Mr. Allen suggested that apy material changes should not be brought at the eleventh hour. "If there is any eleventh 80- swered Mr.

Allison, "the committee will stand where it is now." 'The paragraph on plows 20 and other agricultural implements per cent. brought on brief contest, Mr. Vest and Mr. White criticising the committee's action. In this connection Allison staled that the assertion by Mr.

Vest during previous debates that the American factories were selling goods abroad cheaper than at home had been disproved, to which statement Mr. Vest demurred, saying bis position was upheld. Mr. Vest moved to strike out the paragraph leaving these articles on the free list; disagreed to, 24-29. This brought the Senate to the free list.

This apparent progress was offset, however, by the fact that the wool, silk and leather schedules, and the paragraphs on gloves bad gone over during the day, while several other features of the customs portion of the bill had gone over at previous stages of the debate. Mr. Bacon offered an amendment to be urged later, placing cotton ties on the free list. After the approval of the journal in the House to-day a special order was apopted providing for the consideration of a bill appropriating $100,000 for the repair of dry dock No. 3, at the New York navy yard.

Mr. Henderson explained the necessity for the appropriation, saying that leaks bad appeared which threaten the collapse of the dock. In answer to an inquiry by Mr. Sayers, Mr. Henderson said that dock No.

3 bad been completed last The injury bad "probably been sear. done by powerful dredging machinery or by the prows of veasels.

THAT MEN "catch it here," and don't wait until the hereafter to be have to punished for their deviltry, is again shown by the case of Secretary Sherwho was deceived party to man, service he sold himaelf, out of whose his seat in the Senate, whose function as Secretary of State has been transferred to a subordinate, and who, it is reported, will soon be put on the the now shelf as he lags superfluous on Mr. Sherman has never been stage. the same man since Governor Alger bought his delegates to the national republican convention. THE ADMINISTRATION'S plums are dropping, but, sad to relate, few of them fall into the hands of the long pectant Virginia republicans. Of them it may truly be said, at least up to this term, bleased are they who expect nothing, for, with the exception of an aseistant district attorneyabip, an internal revenue collectorship to fill 8 vacancy, and a few fourth-class postoffices they have been left without elther honor or profit, burring, of course, what of the latter they got last fall from Mr.

Dux's FINANCIAL REVIEW Says the baying of 7,000 bales of Australian wool by one Boston house and 100,000 tons of pig iron by a Wall street operator are signs of advancing prosperity. Other people, however, who have clearer optics, think the purchases referred to were made simply and solely to avoid the payment of the high tax that will be imposed upon both iron and wool when the new tarift bill shall go into effect next month, IF THE reduction in the wages of the coal miners near Monongahela from 60 to 54 cents per ton, the lowest rate ever paid in that district, be evidence of the advancing dawn of prosperity, the men who dig coal certainly have no reason to welcome that dawn, no matter how other people may be profited by talking otherwise.
