HER GRACEFUL BEARING Foi^dawe Crowd the Streets mid Cheer With Great Knthuslasm—The Queen Mother Receives a Share of Ovation. Mopnifk-eiit I'ugeairt. Amsterdam, Sept. 6.—The events k of yesterdav were but the overture fc>r far more important ceremon.'es today ujhjd the auspicious occasion of the long awaited enthroning of Qneen Wilhel- miua, who came of age on Aug. 3ft The day began with a salute of 101 guns and a majestic choral performed by fcrumpot- ers from the crenellated toweas of the five tsceat- churches of Amsterdam. Crtwds .erf people assembled early k: the morning and took up positions from whi^h to view the soyal procession te the Kieukirk, an e<fifioe that, in spite of its name, is 400 years old.

Prom the priucipad gate of the palace to the church, between linos of naval cadets, was stretched a gay awning decorated with streamers and velvet carpeting was laid over the short dis tance which the queen had to traverse. M 10:35 the pritaoely families of Saxo- Winmar and We id drove to the ebureh escorted by cavalry, with bands play ing, drumsjjotvt mg- and the troujis pre- seHwjg arms. Almost immediately afterwards the queen mother appeared in a state coach which was surmounted by a gilt royal crown upon a crimson cushion. She re ceived an ovation ami was greeted with endless cheering and cries of “Long live the queen mother.” At out ten minutes later the beaming of drnuls an.d^tho,blare of trumpets sig nalled the fact thatT Queen Wtlbelmina had left the i»lace, and at that very moment the sun burst from the clouds in brilliancy, which was looked upon as being a happy augury for the young sovereign. Gorgeous In Antique Costumes. The procession was headed by the kiims of'aruis, with.the heralds in their g^^eous antique costumes and bearing long tr.umitf:ts adornrvl with iieudaut ; flagft.. But all the splendor of the royul reunite was ovenlooked hy tiki vast crowds of people, whose eyes were turned upon the central figure of this imposing function—the young queeu, on foot, amidst the people, decked with all the emblems ot royalty. At her headavaa a diadtmi «f dimnondfc.ctomhi shrfj^l. Her robe was of white silk, wffti a Icing train, under a mantle of rich red velvet, on which the lions of Nassau were displayed in gold embroid ery. The mantle was bordered with enrAue. Ttto'aword of state was canned before the young queen by a general. Her majesty carried herself with grace and fortitude, but her blanched cheeky ware evidence of the profound enioR'i^i inspired By the preatnessof Hie occasion. Her majesty proceeded to the church, which, in the meanwhile, had been filled with brilliantly robed ladies and members of the diplomatic corps. The interior of the church disclosed a mag nificent wealth of drapery, banners, palms and flowers. In front of the chancel was the throne of gorgeous crimson and gold velvet, with the crown, orb, sceptre and sword occnpying ■tools. On the right of the throne were the members of the royal families and on the left were the Indian prince from the Duth possessions. As the procession of the queen mother entered the church the assem bly arose and remained standing. On her‘head was a gptetufid tiara and on her breast were displayed the insignia of the Dutch orders. Suddenly the king of arms, fratn the porufl'of the church, heralded the ar rival of s Queen WHbelinina, who entered thAonkfing escorted by a train of got- erau; €ach bearing an e mb Wooed ban ner. The choir, which inclnded the great est of Holland, sang “Wilhelmis van Nassauwe.” The queen, kicking very well in her robes of state, bowed from side to side as she passed on to the throne, and, reaching it, shAmiedand •gain bowed and took her seat.

Annual Parade Tomorrow. Cincinnati, Sept. 0.—The thirty-sec ond annual encampment of the Grand Army of the 'Republic h> a sucooss so far as attendance is concerned, even for these national events which are phe- nominal for crowds. Opening day, yes terday, surpassed expectations as well as Sunday, on the arrivals, but before the 21 guns were fired at sunrise today at Camp Slferman the deitote were crowded wkh more arrivals. The postu arrived m bodies ^ today and were escorted to their quarters by local posts. The special trains arrived faster than they could be handled by the terminals m the early hours and the'ru'ffi'coritiiiuw so that later trains were stopped at Camp Sherman an(f other suburban points where street c ars and other trans portation had been provided. There is a capacity of Ip.OOO in the tents at Camp Sherman aim it is as well filled as the smaller camps, but the conmrittee on quarters has unlimited quarters yet in residences and other places. The decorations are unusually elaborate, the dectnc right detains in the pubfic squares add at street ^inter sections surpassing even the 'fiofcst t ructures of expositions, and tho enter tainment is equally lavish. This was naval day and tomorrow is army day, to be followed on Thursday by the peace jubilee. The National Naval as sociation gave a grand parade this morning. Tomorrow morning the G. A. R. men give their annual parade and on Thursday the civic and inuuStinul parade occurs. After their parade today the naval veterans were entertained on steam boats and they captured Coney Island. The features of toe day were the regi mental brigade and other reunions, at which the old comrades got closer to gether than on any other occa^ums. There were demonstrations amd the ar rival of several of the staff department commuiulers and governors and their staffs. The citizens also toudered re ceptions to Commander in Chief Uobin, Rear Admiral Kelley, Mrs. S. J. Mar tin, president of the W. R. C.; Mrs. Flora M. Davey, president of the Ladies of the G. A. R.; Mrs. Jennie Laird, president of the Nathmal Association of the Ijadies of tho NutuI Veteran*), and otners. The parade required an hour or marc to pass a given point and was every where watched by crowds of deeply in* t ere .-ted spectators. The dramatic ef fect of the ur-fangemeat of the division was the occasion fnf nigeh -comment. First in honor came the veterans of the civil w.ar—the men who manned the vessels in our unique navy and the thinner ranks of the ex-pmoners of that war. The spectators could sot fail lo be impressed with a sad feeling {hat they were looking upon a body of men whose days of inarching mast soon end. Tottering limbs were bearing sturdy hearts fuller than ever with love for the flag whose glory hod been mag nified by their deeds, but it was pain- fully apparent that their ranks were thinning and that their deeds were soon to be only memories. The contest for commander-in-ebief has become much more complicated by the arrival of a large delegation from New York, headed by Corporal Tanner in support of Colonel John C. Shotts of Yonkers. This not only divides the vote of the department of New York against Colonel A. D. Shaw of Watertown, N. Y., but it also divides the vote of other •astern departments that were espectdfi to be solid for Shaw. A letter was received today from President McKinley stating that public business would prevent him and Mrs. McKinley from attending the encamp ment this week. The weather has been very peasant t&dav, after the rains'of last night, and still cooler weather is in the predictions for this locality tomor- sow, when the big parade takes place.

An elaborate address to the people of tbe United States was adqpfcod. It re affirms the previous platform qf the Populists aud covers many questions, and in referring to the present situation it says: “The People’s party vote in 1894 aud I8'.i0 rose to nearly 2,000,000 and every^- thjjiig indicated its speedv uatiodaT triumph/ In tftis eiaorgMUiy the tftm- ocratxc jiarty saw thSit itnali'norecourse but to steal oue'qf the priU(dples t of the despised Populists.
