LONDON, June 21.—Queen Victoria began the celebration of her Jubilee yesterday, as was befitting her entire career, before the altar of her faith. Throughout London, the United Kingdom and the Empire, in every cathedral, church or chapel, were held services similar to those at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, where Her Majesty paid her devotions and offered solemn thanksgiving.

While on this day, Jubilee titles are being conferred in every section of the Empire, here—as has been learned—the Hon. Louis H. Davies, one of our representatives at Ottawa, received a high mark dignity as Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George. His Honor was born and educated in Charlottetown, and was called to the Bar in 1866. Taking any early interest in politics, in 1876 he became leader of the Provincial Government, and in 1882 he was elected member of the Dominion Parliament. Upon the triumph of his part-c in 1896, he entered the Cabinet of Canada as Minister of Marine and Fisheries, which he fills at the present time.

There was a magnificent celebration in this city on June 22nd: parades, massing of school children, torchlight procession and speeches. Charlottetown’s celebration of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee was without exception the greatest event that ever. took place in this city, and we doubt if it was excelled by any city of similar size and population owing allegiance to Her Majesty.
