LONDON, .Inly II. —The inhabitants of London and vicinity turned out in forcc in order to witness the progress in state of Emperor William from Buckingham palace to Guildhall and hack to tho palace after partaking of the hospitality of the lord mayor of London. From the earliest hours of the morning crowds of people literally poured toward Buckingham palace, St. James' park. The Strand. Fleet street, Ludgate hill and the city generally, in order to take up some position where they could get a good sight of the imperial procession. Immense throngs greeted their appearance all along the route, ami the event can he said to have been a magnificent success, although the eht ers from the populace were not unn.ingled with groans and jeer- directed at both the pnncc of Wales and the emperor.
Sharp on the stroke of noon the -joy bells began a cheery pealing: the strain of triumphant mns:c floated out from the broad i-vcnue of Buckingham palace: there was a glitter of sunlight on helmet, sw.mland sheath, and. greeted by a burst of welcoming applause, kaiser and kaiserin began he imperial entry into roval London.
First came a detachment of life guards, with waving plumes and sabers drawn then the state carriage in which rode the kaiser and kaiserin and, following the imperial couple, another detachment of life guards. A long line of magnificent carriages fol lowed, in which in twos and fours were seated the pink and pride of
English and Herman aristocracy* whether of sex, blood, valor or talent. This part of the mighty procession was headed -by tin? prince and princess of Wales and the assembled princes and princesses, dukes and duchesses of the fraternizing nations.
The crowd at Trafalgar square was of dimensions calculated to inspire awe. It now almost seemed as though then* had been a tacit tinder standing to reserve all demonstrations until this moment had arrived. The ivalry escort put on a gentle trot in wheeling, the imperial carriage swayed a trifle to the right and William II. was looking up at Nelson's statue. There wasa momentary surging of the mighty throng ami then there ascended a roar )f acclamation as the emperc touched his helmet in passing the figure of the sea conqueror.
From this time on until the imperia carriage stopped in front of the Gud hall there was an incessant series of ovations. The reception aeeorded the prince of Wales was a mixed one. At some points it was one of unstinted cordiality. At others loud hooting** and unseemly cat-calls quite drowned the cheers. On the whole, however, the welcome extended to his royal highness was a favorable one. Indeed, then* were times when the future majesty of England rode with uncovered head through a perfect hurricane of cheers.
At 1:25 p. m. the imperial carriage reached the Guildhall. At the entrance stood Lord Mayor Savory, the city aldermen and the sheriffs. The procession to the library was formed without delay, aud when order had been secured the recorder began the address to his majesty. The address declared that the corporation of the city of London desired to offer to his majesty the emperor and his.imperial spouse a sincere welcome to English shores and to the capital of the British empire. The corporation sees in the visit a happy augury for the maintenance of those friendly and affectionate relations so long existing between the two nations. Turning toward the empress, the recorder, still reading from the address, especially welcomed her and expressed the hearty appreciation by the people of London and England of her presence in their midst. The address concluded with the prayer that their majesties might be long spared to rule over a prosperous and united nation and a happy people. The address, inclosed in a splen did gold casket, enameled and decked with precious-tones, was then formallv presented.to the kaiser and kaiserin.
In response to the address his majestv expressed his heartfelt thanks for the warm welcome which had been extended to his empress and himself by the good citizens of the city of London, am' he begged the recorder to so inform those in whose name he had spoken. Continuing, the kaiser declared that he always felt at home 011 English ground. His majesty paid an affectionate tribute to Queen Victoria, who. he said, will ever he remembered. not only as a noble character, but as a lady great in wisdom. The emperor then declared that, following the examples set by his illustrious grandfather ami ever-lamented father, he should always do his utmost to maintain the history of the friendship of England and C.crniany.
He felt encouraged in his task when he saw wise and capable men. such aa were there gathered, do justice to the earnestness and honesty of his intentions. Hi aim was above all to mainfor peace alone can give the
tain peace for peace
continence n«*o» .i» uv lor tnc healthy development of science, art and trail*'. Tho emperor thi'ii concluded as follows: "You may. Umrt'fortt, rest us.«urod that 1 shall continue to lo mv b*»st lo maintain unri con stuntly iriofu-c ih«* tfootl rclutlonn of Germany with «»tlior nation*. I shall always be found ready to unlit* *U!i you and them in a common labor for p»j cful pro^reHs, friendly intercourse and th' a'lv.inoirmutii of civilization."
This concluded the ceremonies attending the presentation and acceptance of the address. The imperial
at
party was then entertained luncheon which wa.s served in brarv.
the
At :i:20 p. m. the royal party started on its return to Buckingham palace. On the way to the Thames embankment. at Ludgate Circus, where the rougher element of the city was packed in all the numerous thoroughfares branching into that much frequented thoroughfare, there were somewhat exciting incidents. This rowdy element had been getting up steam on beer ami gin for many hours past, and had worked
itself
into a frame of mind
well adapted to giving the prince of Wales or anybody else warm reception.
Wlieij the carriage containing the prince .ami princess of Wales passed through Ludgate circus it was driven at a decidedly rapid pace, so much so that the carriage had passed the dangerous spot before the main body of the crowd was aware that the prince was in their midst. As it was. however, in spite of the presence if the prim-ess of Wales beside him. tin prince was greeted with repeated outbursts of jeering ami ings." which ^eve only slightly set off by a lew faint hccrs. In the face of this hostile demonstration the prince of Wales, apparently unmoved, looked straight to his front, and he passed the excited crowd and made no attempt to reply by saiute to the weak cheering which broke out in opposition to the "booings," etc. The reception accorded to the prince of Wales was in strong contrast to the hearty ringing cheers with which the duke of
Connaught, his brother, was greeted by the Ludgate circus crowd as the duke passed over the same ground. The emperor, after banqueting with the duke of Cambridge at Giouesster house, finished the day at the state ball at Buckingham palace.

ink and the affairs of ex-City Trcas:*cr.lohn lardsley held a protracted session Friday afternoou. The main witnesses were Kobert M. MeWade. ity editor of the I'uhlic Ledger: William V. McKean. editor in chief of the same paper, aud Postmaster Hcneral Wanamaker.
Mr. MeWade was the first witness. He said in answer to questions that he went to the county prison June IS and interviewed the imprisoned ex-city treasurer. Kardsley talked freely and understood that the interview was for publication. He told Bardsley at the beginning that in view of certain charges that had been made in the newspapers he thought it proper for him to make a full statement, particularly as to what became of the $1)45,000 deposited and which had disappeared, the charge Itcing made that it had been stolen. After MeWade had written out the first statement he said a consultation was held between Mr. McKean. himself and other members of the editorial force of the Ledger, and alter full deliberation and discussion it was decided not to publish it because so strong reference, unsupported by facts, was made to certain people.
Mr. McKean was not sworn. He said that as editor of the Ledger he had charge of the interview which Mr. MeWade had obtained. He said that hecause the statement implicated a number of reputable citizens it was decided that it was not proper to publish it. It was locked up in the office tire-proof safe, and had, so far as he knew, never been out of the Ledger oflice until brought to the com mitte*-room now. Xo mem ber of the committee had ever seen it io fact, no one except the three editors of the Ledger had ever seen it. Hotli interviews were submitted to the committee.
ABSOLUTE!* PURE
It was decided by a vote of 5 to 2 to at once listen to the public reading of the statements. Mr. MeWade. being familiar with the manuscript, was asked to read the papers. Much that Hardsley told to Mr. MeWade was afterward incorporated in the statement he read in court when called up for sentence dune C3 and which has already been published. In these lJards*' ley again went over the story of the Keystoue bank and stoutly maintained that he put the $1130,000 in the bank, but did not know what became of it any more than he believed that President Marsh got it. Hardsley said that Bank Examiner Drew had been a heavy borrower from the Ke3'Stone bank and was completely uuder Lucas and
Marsh's thumb. In regard to John Wanamaker Hardsley said that Marsh told him that he knowingly held overissue shares of bank stock and demanded $100,000 for them and upset the plans for reorganization of the bank, then Hardslcy said he advised Marsh to engage counsel and make a demaud on Wanamaker for the overissued shares, as he was guilty of a crime in holding them. Marsh retained Mayor Sulzberger and John OUohnson as hi::, counsel and they made a demand on Wanamaker which he refused. Wanamaker" position was that the Lucas estate should pay him Mar.sh and the bank U.",00n. The lawyers then not lied Mr. Wanamaker that if the fraudulent shares were not delivered to them bv a specified date
thoy would roort to legal measures to got them. The shares were tlion turned over without delay. Wanumakcr had made a threat that he would see Comptroller baccy in Washington and have the bank closed before they expected it. "In March, .Ib'.lll," said llardsley, "Marsh came to me and said Wanamaker wanted S'JOO.OOO at once. Marsh told him that lie did not have the amount on hand and Wanamaker told him where he could get it. Two days later Marsh came to me saying that Wanamaker was persistent and must have the money. I loaned liim the money and Wanamaker got it."
Postmaster General Wanamaker entered the room while Uardsley's statement was being read. In answer to questions he said that his interests in the Keystone bank are out of his acquaintance with President Lucas
and his brother when they were young merchants. He said that he never pledged the overissued stock after he was told it was an overissue ami it was out of his hands at the time. He did not know II. IL Yard and never had met Mr. Lucas but once, and that was at an interview about the overissued stock. As to the story told by Hardslcy to MeWade that he had threatened to close the bank unless he was paid for the overissued stock, and that Lawver Sulzberger and Johnson had forced him to return it, Mr. Wanamaker said it was absolutely false.
Hardslcv's statement that Marsh obtained from him rJUO.OOO for Waiwimaker in March. IVJu, he said was ahsolutely untrue and without the slight- •. est foundation, and invited the committee to inspect his books.
Mr. Wanamaker was th*n informed by a member of the committee that during an examination of the stockbook of the Keystone bank they -f, had found o.'JOO shares of stock in his name in addition to the '2, .*)15 shares which he testified had been given him by Lucas to use iu collateral lor deal in Heading stock. "When 1 appeared before this committee before," said Mr. Wanamaker, "I eonlined myself principally to the business of the firm in mv deals with Lucas in Heading. I did not suppose the committee wanted to hear of private operations."
In regard to the stock which has been found in his name, 250 shares of it, Mr. Wanamaker said, was held by Irvin Toland, his bankers, as collateraL This reduced it to 2,000 shares of stock. Of these, five blocks of 200 shares each were dated March 1SSU, and while issued in his name the power of attorney had never been indorsed by him. apd they could never have been used. Of these shares he had absolutely no knowledge. A
The next lot, five blocks of 200 shares each, was dated four weeks earlier— February M. ISH'V He was a director in the Girard Trust Company and Lucas came to him anil asked him to obtaiu a loan of $40,000 on the stock. "I have been just foolish enough," said Mr. Wanamaker, "all my life to do those things and 1 got the money on the stock and gave it to him. Considerable time afterward it was paid off by the Lucas estate and they got the stock back."
Mr. Wanamaker also presented the committee with a letter from John C. Lucas, dated May 2S. lssfi, inclosing a check to pay the interest on this loan. "Of the other unused five blocks of stock," said Mr. Wanamaker, "my impression is that Mr. Lucas at first intended to ask for a larger loan and so issued them. It was never used, however, as it could not have been without my indorsement. 1 know of uo other stock, but I remember that ten years ago when Lucas was securing control of the bank he came to me and said he did not want people to know who certain stock belonged to, and for a time he placed some in my name. In regard to certificate No. 450, which was transferred by H. II. Yard toScudder«fc Durham, of Trenton, that is a part of the stock on which the loan from the Girard
Trust Company was secured, and after the Lucas estate got it back it was very likely to pass over to Yard again to raise money on."
The fact that some of the certificates held as collateral by Irvin X- Toland were dated after Lucas' death he said was due to the brokers' refusal to handle them while in a dead man's name. In closing his testimony Mr. Wanamaker read letters from Comptroller Laeev and Assistant Secretary Nettleton to show that he had never influenced or delayed the appointment for an instant of a receiver for the Keystone bank.
