TWO LOUD REPORTS.
NEAR ROYAL PROCESSION. YOUTH AND TOY REVOLVER. LONDON, July 4. Two loud reports, apparently from a revolver, alarmed the crowds watching the Royal procession in connection with the welcome to the King of Egypt, from Victoria Station to Buckingham Palace today. Mounted and foot police immediately surrounded the section of the crowd whence the sounds emanated and interrogated a youth of 19, from whom they took a toy revolver. The youth was afterwards released and quickly disappeared. Excitement was again caused when a restive horse threw a trooper and galloped down Constitution Hill. Mounted police pursued and captured it.
