ENORMOUS CROWD IN LONDON. The Queen Cheered on Her Arrival—Minister Phelps Honored. The Queen’s jubilee was celebrated ou Monday, June 20, in India, New Zealand, and South Africa. On Monday London was crowded with people trom all parts of the world, attracted by the jubilee celebration. In the forenoon her Majesty arrived at the metropolis, and was driven at once to Buckingham palace. She was enthusiastically cheered by great multitudes along the line from the railway station to the palace. Mr. Phelps, the American Minister, had a private audience, when he formally presented President Cleveland’s jubilee congratulations, which ■were warmly acknowledged by the Queen. An illuminated address from British subjects resident in Boston was presented to her Majesty in the afternoon. Three hundred prominent Catholics, including a number of peers, returned thqjr tickets of admission to the services at Westminster Abbey. In tlie city of Cork, Ireland, Monday night, a few’ buildings and grounds were decorated and illuminated in honor of the jubilee, and many others who would have made similar other displays were deterred through fear of an attack. Their fears were well founded, for an immense crowd marched to the illuminated houses and proceeded to smash the windows, meanwhile cheering for Parnell, and crying: “To with the Queen!” The police charged upon the mob, but were met by volleys of stones, and with great difficulty cleared the streets. CONDEMNED TO DEATH. Missouri’s Supreme Court Decrees that Brooks, Who Murdered Preller, Must He Executed. A special telegram from Jefferson City, Mo., says the State Supreme Court has given a decision in the Hugh M. Brooks, alias H. Lennox Maxwell, murder case, in which the finding of the trial court was affirmed. This is the celebrated case- in which Brooks, under the name of Maxwell, was tried for the murder of Charles Arthur Preller at the Southern Hotel in St. Louis in April, 1885, and which was taken up to the Supreme Court on exceptions. Brooks’ counsel will now, it is said, move for a rehearing of the case, and if this fails an attempt will be made to get it before the United States Supreme Court on constitutional points. The date of the execution •was fixed for July 12. Hugh M. Brooks, alias Dr. Walker Lennox Maxwell, made the acquaintance of C. Arthur Preller, a young English commercial traveler, on an ocean steamer.

GARFIELD’S ASSASSIN. A Probability That Guiteau's Stuffed Head Will Be Exhibited for au Aduiission Fee. A Washington special to the Chicago Timex says: “The story that a man in New York has got the head of Guiteau and is going to exhibit it is probably true. The Army Medical Museum authorities were for some time very reticent about what disposition was made of the body, but they are a little more communicative now. After Guiteau was executed the body was taken to the museum, where Professor Schaffirth was at that time the anatomist. He prepared the skeleton, and the whole thing, skull and all, is now in the museum articulated, but not on exhibition. It is intended to put it on exhibition some time. Schaffirth took off the entire skin of the head, stitcbel up the cuts made in takiug it oil, and filled the thing with plaster, bringing out the contour of the face. This he kept in his own possession and showed it privately to some of his friends. He has since then left the museum and gone to New York, and it is quite possible he took the heal ■with him and has since sold it to a showman.” Grain in Sight.
