BULGARIA'S QUEEN.
HOMAGE OF PEASANTRY. (U»XMX> PS»SS 4J3OCIATIOS —BT EI.ECTEIO TEL,* G* APE —COPTRIOBT.) SOFIA, November 3. The young Queen of Bulgaria, who formerly was Princess Giovanna of Italy, had the trying if not gratifying experience of standing for seven consecutive hours while peasants from all parts of Bulgaria passed and rendered homage. Most of them arrived overnight, falling the streets and squares, singing, dancing, eating, and drinking. They vroro local costumes and 6poke their local dialects. The whole scene was picturesque. Gifts were piled high, about the Queen's feet. One old peasant unexpectedly stopped in front or the Royal couple, opened an old bag, and took out a large hare, which he handed over with a bow to a Court official. Tho Queen appeared thoroughly recovered, and returned smiles and graciously waved an arm.
