LONDON, June 21.—(New York World Cablegram—Epecial Telegram.)—Whitelaw Reld, the special envoy of the United Btates to the coronation, will have a carriage to himself in the royal procession through London's streets next Friday. The World correspondent has learned that the re- markable circumstances under which this departure from the pubiished official pro- gram was brought about are these: The officlal list placed the speclal envoy of the TUnited States In a carriage with Turkhal Pasha, the special representative of the sultan of Turkey, and Admiral Gervais, representing the French republle. It would be bad ehough to he in the same carriage with the Turk, but the position was aggra- wated by the fact that the American envoy was to be placed with his back to the horses, while the Turk would sit beside Admiral Gervais in what is usually re- garded as the seat of honor. Mr. Reld immediately protested that as the envoy of the United States he could not accept the position allotted to him. The lord chemberlain was very sorry, but urged that his place was fixed strictly in accordance with the table of precedence. Mr. Reld expressed his regret that he should have deflnitely to decline to join the procession under such circumstances. The matter was reforred to King Ed- ward, who, the Instant he heard of the trouble, directed that the United States envoy should have a separate carriage. The Jord chamberlain was technically right in his arrangement, according to the estab- lished court usuage, but Mr. Reid has shown 1t in time that mediaeval notions of prece- dence should be revised in the light of the existing order of things. Ban Removed from Two, Few incldents connected with the coro- nation have excited more comment than the favitations sent to Henry Labouchere, M.+P, and Sir Charles Dilke, M. P, to luncheon on the king's yacht at the naval Tevi Mr. Labouchere’s caustic criticism of the court got him proscribed by Queen Victorla, but he always was a friend of the present king, who has.thus shown his Mberal tendencles. Sir Charles Dilke is one of the ablest and most valuable states. men in England, but Queen Victoria would never recognize him after his divorce court trouble. The king evidently intends to withdraw the ban so Dilke can be included in the next liberal cabinet. The crown that King Edward will wear Bt the coronation has been finished by his majesty’s jewelers. It Is a magnificent, dazzling bauble. It has been shown only to few of the king’s intimate friends and to some of the East Indian potentates, whom nothing impresses as do jewel nd to whom gems are typleal of power. To- create the new crown the jewels were taken from coronation crowns of the king's predecessors and replaced by paste imitations. Indeed, all the historlc regalia of Great Britain thias been lald under tribute. The new crown {s most graceful in form, In its front blazes the huge ruby given by the king of Oustile to Edward, the Black Prince, & ruby valued at $2,000,000. From Queen Elizabeth's crown diamonds and pearls were taken. The jewels in the crown, scepter and sword worn by the king at the corona- tion ceremony are estimated to be worth more than $2,000,000.

(Copyright, 1302, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, June 21.—(New York World Ca- blegram—8peclal Telegram.)—Bradley Mar- tin, jr., before rejoining his family in Lon- don, unsuccesstully sought to console him- selt for numerous defeats at bagatelle and polo by a victory with the new “fiying machine, Aviator. The World told how Shutz, the Aviator inventor, tried to fly last week and got a thorough ducking. Young Mr. Martin, who has financlally be- friended Shutz, became convinced that the inventor's lack of skill was wholly due to his lack of nerve. Mr. Martin decided to demonstrate that Aviator can fly, 6o after some practice within an fnclosure he had the machine transported to the St. Cloud aqueduct. There he was sure he couid at- taln the height necessary to a successful start on his aerlal flight. Aviator's great wings were strapped on young Mr. Martin's arms, his feet were fixed In the pedals, for to really fly Aviator needs the propulsion of Its passenger's four lmbs. Looking much like a tremendous bat, Mr. Martin was pushed off the edge of the parapet by hia assistants. He flapped his wings desperately, but uselessly. He guided down, slantingly, and struck the water 200 feet away. The men walting in the boat to glve rescue if nesded were not equal to the occasion. Aviator, gradually getting wet, slowly sank, with the strug- gling Mr. Martin under it. When be was rescued by his friends Mr. Martin declared he had swallowed all the Seine water he would need for six months. Bradley Martin, Jr., is one of the British- American young men of London, where his mother has a aplendld establishment. Mr. Martin has never been kuown as a par- ticularly “high fiyer,” but he has shown courage before. In February, 1901, he was a passenger on the Kaiserin Maria Theresa from Genoa to New York. On the steame: too, were Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger and her mald, Josephine Curtelin. The ship had been pounded by heavy seas and beaten by rains and hail squalls. Mlle. Curtelin, with a few other women as venturesome as she, was on the forward promenade deck. A monster wave engulfed Mlle. Curtelin, swept her across the deck and dashed her against the port rail. Mr. Martin, from the lee of the deckhouse, saw the woman's perilous plight. “As the mald, screaming with fright, was on the point of being dashed overboard,” sald Mrs. Cruger, in describing the occurrence, “the young man, clad {n storm clothes and golf cap, plunged, at the risk of his own life, into the surging een and white, clasped the woman's waist and bore her to safety.”” When his fellow passengers went to congratulate him he escaped to his rooms. Mlle. Curtelin was badly used up. Three or four other women were thrown down and brulsed. Young Mr. Martin modestly declined to discuss the rescue. CONFERENCE MAY BE A FIZZLE Premiers of British Colonies Do Not Take Kindly to Chamber- lain’s Schemes. (Copyright, ‘192, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, June 21.—(New York World Cablegram — Special Telegram.) — Colonial cretary Chamberlain's conference . of colonlal premiers. which will be ing the present coronation visit, i with considerable apprehension. It was summoned with the idea of arriving at some echeme of imperial defense to which the colonles would contribute. It was also intended to discuss the question of an fm- perial customs union. Premier Laurter an- ticipated his arrival by an unqualified de- nunclation of militarism and a repudiation of participation by Canada i any scheme of imperial defense. The Australlan colonies, while willlng to joln In the imperial defense if it costs them nothing, declare at the same time that they will maintain their own customs dutles, which are vital to their existence. Then Lord Hopetoun, the first governor general of the Australlan commonwealth, has resigned, ostensibly on a question of ary, but really because, as Secretary Chamberlain's instrument, he is per- petually interfering in ministerial matters and is causing constant friction and sub- jecting himself to bitter snubs at the hands of the commonwealth government. The tederal premler, Mr. Banton, has informed Secretary Chamberlain that Lord Hope- toun's successor must be a mere figure- head who does not consider himself a statesma Mhe Australians Intend orth to glipply thelr own statesman- sh.

There was a story current in the royal enclosure at the Ascot races that his majesty had fallen in a fit, but the report was groundless. His majest notion of the importance ©f bridge whist in the scheme of affairs is proved by his sending a card for the royal box in Westminster abbey to Miss Jane Thornewell, the woman who taught him bridge whist and who is one of the most skillful of women players. There are many prominent women in London soclety who would g almost anything they possess to be included in that select party. Miss Thornewell is only known as the king's favorite partner in the (avorite game. An astonishing travesty on the coronation ceremony was witnessed at Westminster abbey Wednesday morning. The king's part in the rehearsal was assumed by the learned and estimable Lord Chancellor Halsbury, who, however, happens to be the homellest and least dignified figure in all the peerage. In truth, his lordship is a ‘vulgarized edition of L. Toole, the famous low comedlan. The queen's part @Quchess of Buccleuc & stately, aristocr: po ome is more famillar with court func- tions. The contrast between the graceful, elegant carriage of the duchess and the grotesque little chancellor, as he strutted around affecting regal demeanor and golog throught the king's “business,” excited to laughter even the workmen on the abbey. ‘When Halsbury seated himself on the chair t represented the throne his feet were #ix Inches off the ground.

ANARCHY IN NEW GOLD FIELDS Ex-Conviets and Worst FElements Flock to New Discoveries in E rn Siherla. (Copyright, 192, by Press Publishing Co.) ST. PETERSBURG, June 21.—(New York World Cablegram—=8pecial Telegram.)—Bx- tensive goldfields have been discovered in eastern Siberis, bordering on Manchuri which are attracting great numbers of adventurers. In the Chingan mountains al- ready has begun a strong influx of the worst elements in the country, mostly con- victs or their descendants, who have been wandering about in an almless, shiftless way in fear of the police. Many Chinese men and woms of Kirghiz and other ves have reached the camp and the acenes dally and nightly witnessed are ap- valling. Murders are of almost dally oc- currence.

Shipman agreed to this, but when Swear- ingen and Deputy Sheriff Fred Kendall ap- peared at the door he warned them not to come in under penalty of death. Swear- ingen, undaunted, started to pull his re- volver for the purpose of entering and Shipman fired a load of shot, striking the marshal in the lower part of the face and neck, killing him instantly. Dr. Grimmell and the deputy sheriff beat a retreat, leav- ing the body of the marshal upon the porch. Sherift Anderson immediately went to the scene of the shooting, deputizing a dozen citizens to assist him. Hundreds of people gathered near Shipman's home and for three hours watched the battle. Five hun- dred shots were poured Into the large two- story house, Shipman replylng from win- dows, cellarway, and door. The fire company was called and James May volunteered to stick a hose in the cel- lar and drown him out. May accomplished his work nicely, but almost immediately Shipman fired upon him from the cellar and he beat & hasty retreat, but not until he had knocked Shipman over with a stream of water. Only a high wind from a direction that would have carried the flames to town prevented the building from being fired. Dead Body Discover About 11 o'clock Shipman ‘was seen in one of the lower rooms and several guns spoke at once, and & heavy fall was heard. It was not thought best to approach, how- ever, for some time, when 8. C. Judy, a local real estate man, finally marched acros the street and looked In. He saw the dead body of Shipman upon the floor, and the lhouse was immediately taken possession of. Shipman was found to have been shot in fifty places and almost mutilated by lead. His body is now in the hands of the coroner. The dead marshal will be greatly mourned in Jefferson. He was a brave officlal, courageous in every way. Shipman had conducted a butter, egg and poultry business here for many years. Informations agalnst him have been filed numerous times and he has been under bonds to keep the peace. He might have shot many of the crowd, as his house was full of guns, but he was | evidently awaiting for an opportunity to kill Sheriff Anderson, for whom he has al- ways had a great dislik BITS OF THEATRICAL GOSSIP Clyde Fitch, the Dramatist, Steadily and Surgical Operation May Be Necessary.

PARIS, June 2L—(New York World Cablegram — Speclal Telegram.) — Charles Frohman passed a few days here with Maurice Grau, seeking to develop their pur- pose to organize a French theater In New York next season. Reaching no definite re- sult, Mr. Frobhman proceeded to Berlin to visit Clyde Fitch, who possibly must undergo an operation for appendicitis. The playwright's health steadily grows worse, and lately his sufferings have been Intense. It is said he so intensely dreads the sur- gical operation that his nerves are shat- tered, and he begs the speclalists who are attending him to postpone the operation and, If in any way possible, not to per- form it.

(Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, June 21.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—There was some heavy betting on the grand prix, run on Sunday and won by Kizil Kourgan. Countess Boni de Castellane won $3,200 and Kizil Kourgan's vich‘y. But Count Bonl backed the English horee Sceptre, which was brought here with the idea that the grand prix would be easy prey for him. The count lost exactly $5000. So the Castellane coffers suffered to the extent of $1,800 on the race. Sybel Sanderson, the songstress, Thomas Walsh, who is the king of Belgian's find, Sloan, the jockey, were heavy losers. cording to Ac- the French newspapers Mrs. Langtry was the greatest winner on the race, next to Kizil Kourgan's owner, M. de Saint Alary. The Jersey Lilly cleared $9,652 on the day, although she lost severely on ever other event but the grand prix. Besldes winning the stakes, which amounted to $51,240, de Saint Alary won $40,000 in bets. He is enjoylng extraordinary for- tune, having won $74,000 on previous races this year.

Melba says, in a matter-of-fact way, that when she appears in “Traviata” at the coronation gala opera she will wear more jewels than ever blazed on any prima donna on the stage. Her nmeck aud dress will be Ilterally covered with necklaces and chains of diamonds, ropes of pearls and costly emeralds and sapphires in bracelets, brooches and hair ornaments. The song- stress s the happy possessor of these Jewels, which are worth more than $500,000.

HENO AND OTIS SET THE PACE EARLY Experienced Horsemen of the Opin- fon that in Doing So They Lost All Chance of Being In at Finish. CHICAGO, June 21.—Coming with a sweeping stride thwough the stretch, the game colt Wyeth won for John A. Drake his first Derby and upheld the traditions of the race by the overthrow of the favorites, and by the western horses, beating the best that could be sent from the east. There is no room for argument about the best horse winning. The race was free from rough riding or anything in the nature of a foul, was cleanly run and truly won and Wyeth was the best of the twelve 3-year-old colts that lined up at the barrier today before Starter Dwyer. Jockey Luclen Lyne rode a sensible race on Mr. Drake's colt. Heno, the heavily played eastern colt, went to the post the favorite at 2% to 1, but failed to finish inside the money, though it was not altogether his fault. He ran gamely and fast. It looked as though Jockey Bullman made a mistake by using Heno so much in the early part of the race. For furlong after furlong he fougl. for the lead with Barney Schriber’'s Otis and they set a pace which, In the slow and dead track, told on both of them at the supreme moment of the race, the struggle to the home stretch. Singleton, on Otls, was censured by many good judges of racing for using what ap- peared to be singularly poor judgment in taking to the front a colt carrying 127 pounds and trylng to tip such a large and high class fleld. It is only falr to presume, however, that Schriber’s jockey rode ac- cording to orders given him. Pentecost and Arsenal DI Pentecost and Arsenal ran a disappoint- ing race. Neither ever had a position suf- fictently near the front to be regarded as a serlous contender, and visitors from the east who had witnessed their best races on the tracks around New York declared that the unsatisfactory performances of these two colts would have to be attributed to thelr unusually long and trying rallroad journey on the eve of such an important contest. As Arsenal and Pentecost were de- layed nine hours in making the trip from New York to Chicago, turfmen believe that the reason advanced for their poor showing is not without foundation. Perhaps the greatest disappointment in the races to those who arrived at the last moment to pin their faith to a western horse was the race run by Bell's Com- moner. He falled to finish within the first three. The real surprises of the race were Lu- clen Appleby and Alladin, who finished sec- ond and third respectively. Luclen Ap- pleby would have been conceded a good chance had the track been heavy, but when the dust was seen flying as the horses went to the post for the first race on the card, those who had placed their faith in him in the future books gave up their bets for as good as los Prowl Had No Chance. Corrigon and Lord Quex ran just about such a race as most people expected of them, while with the goiug as good as It wase, Prow]l had no chance whatever in this company. Had the track been heavy he would have been conceded a fair chance. The Cincinnati colt, Hermis, broke down after running about a mile, but his showing up to that time dld not lead one to belleve that he would have been well up to the | finish had he been able to complete the | race. One of the features of the race won by Wyeth was that he got off last after the fall of the flag and wore the field down one by one. Striding along In irresistible style, without any apparent effort, and at the same time getting over the ground grandly, he appeared at all stages of the race to be running well within himself, although passing one horse after another and evidently traveling the fastest. They never had him “stralght” and his neck was not stretched until the final sixteenth. Even then, he was far from being out, and ke clearly won with a little something in reserve. Coburn rode a patient race on Aladdin. He avolded the early pace, never burried his mount at any part of the con- test. No matter what the leaders were doing, and he was rewarded by finding at the finish that his ho had enough left to make a grand run through the stretch, where he came from behind and made & desperate bid for third honors. The story of the race is soon told. There was but little delay at the post and Starter Dwyer got them away with a good send-off. Otis and Heno at once showed in front, with Wyeth last. Round the turn from the haif-mile post to the head of the stretch the fleld came bounding along at a good pace. Otis and Heno had drawn clear of all contenders and already were fighting for the lead. Past the stand the same pair ‘was running head and head, well in front of the field, on the outside of which were Arsenal and Corrigan, both a little too far back to please thelr backer: Wyeth Moves U Round the clubhouse turn went the fly- ing leaders and by this time Aladdin had taken third place, closely attended by Belle’s Commoner. Wyeth had moved up from la place and had passed Prowl, Pentecost, Lord Quex, Luclen, Appleby, Hermis and Arsenal. When half the dis- tance of the race had been completed Heno and Otis still held a commanding lead and showed no sign of tirin Belle's Com- moner and Wyeth were the nearest ut- tendants, although Aladdin wi still wp and on the rafl. Coburn apparently pre- ferred to drop back to ffth place rather than hustle his horse, with half -the race to be run.

Heno when I down drew away from Otis and went round the far turn, increasing his lead until fully three lengths in advance. Otis bung on gamely and it was not long before Heno began to show signs of coming back. As ppointing.

Every furnace in the district s either banked or blown out and an iron dealer is quoted as saying that there is not a pound of pig iron on the mar- ket in the valley. The reity of pig iron will be the cause of the shutting down of many other industries, unless the miners g0 to work in a very short time.

GREATEST TRIUMPH IN BOATING HISTORY Literally Swept the Hudson in Grandest Contest Ever Seen There, WISCONSIN BOYS TAKE SECOND HONORS To Them RBelongs Great Credlt tor the Splendid Fight Which They Made in 'Varsity and Freshe man Races. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 21.—Cor- nell won all three of the events in the intercolleglate Amateur association regatta today. The four-oared race was & bit of easy work for it, but in both the fresh- man and the ‘varsity eights it wae so closely pressed that it teally had to win them in the half mile by a display of re- serve force which none of the other crews could bring to bear. The summary follows: Four-oared race, two miles: Cornel] first by five lengths, time, 10:43 4-5; Pennsyl- vania second by three one-half lengtl time, 10:54 4-5; Columbfa third, time, 1 Freshman elght-oared race, two miles Cornell first by two and three-quarter lengths, time, 9:34 4-5; Wisconsin second by two and one-half lengths, time, 9:42 4<5; Columbia third by one and one-half length: time, 9:49; Syracuse fourth by four lengtl Pennsylvania fifth, time, 10 'Varsity elght-oared race four miles; Cornell first by three lengths, time, 10:05 3-5; Wisconsin second by one and one- half length, time, 19:13 3-5; Columbla third by one and three quarters length, time, 19:18 3-5; Pensyvivania fourth by three- quarters of a length, time, 10:26; Syracuse fifth by two feet, time, 10:31 2-5; George- town sixth, time, 19:32, Cornell's Greatest Triumph. Cornell won the greatest triumph of its history in boating. The Ithacans literally swept the Hudson, winning all three events in the Intercolleglate regaita, the 'varsity, the freshman and the four-oared races. In each i the crews, ccached by Charles Courtney, had to fight all the way from start to finish for victory. In only one of the three races did the Ithacans dare to at any time come down on thelr speed. The Wisconsin boys won the second homors of the day and to them belongs great credit for the splendid fight which lh!y made In the 'varsity and freshmen 8, In both of which events they finiehed a strong second to the Ithacans. In all three races Colum- bia finished third. In the four-oared Penn- sylvan was second, but in the 'varsity race, the Quakers finished in fourth place and In the freshmen race they were fifth, The University of Syracuse beat the Quakers out for fourth place in the fresh- man event and in the 'varsity Syracuse fought Georgetown out in the last few lengths, beating the boys from Washington by less than a yard at the finish line. In none of the races were the records touched, but in all three events the time were not far above the fastest that have been made on this course. Despite the clouds and rain a big crowd came to see the races. All through the morning it seemed as though postponements would be necessary, but as the hour for the first race of the day drew near the wind dled away and gradually the sun fought its way through @ nasty gray sky. The races were all rowed under splendid conditions. The boats had tho wind with them and the tide to help them along. Courtney says his ‘varsity eight had power enough to have lowered the record-of 18:53 2-5, made by Cornell a year ago it his crew had only been harder | pressed. Confident They Could Do Better. The Ithacans now make public the fact that a week ago they came within four sec- onds of the record and they are sure (hey would have done even bev.gr ihis afternoon if they had to fight a little harder op the last mile. They admit that the freshmen race was a surprise, but they say they were confident of winning the four-oared event. The Badgers, plucky as usual, make no com- plaint. They are satisfied that the fastest elght won in both the 'varsity and t freshmen events, while Columbia is thor- oughly satisfied with the showing mude by its light crews. The New Yorkers did not expest tu win the 'varsity race, they were doubtful sbout the freshmen race, but did belleve they would win the four-oared and perhaps they would have done so but for the breaking of an oarlock. The Quakers have little to Pennsyl- vania's most conservative admirer did mot expect a much better result and they have no excuses to make. The Georgetown boys were greatly disappointed in the 'varsity race, for last night they were betting that they would wipe out Columbia. Was & Hard Strugsle. The story of the big 'varsity race is ) | the story of a hard struggle for all six crews for four long miles. The graceful shells werefrequently lapped in the first mile. In the second mile Cornell pulled out and Columbla hung to Wisconsin for second place with a deadly grip, while Georgetown was almost nose and nose with the New Yorkers with Pennsylvania and Syracuse only a few feet behind. This was the order of the boats right up to the st balf mile, where Pennsylvania spurted and finally Syracuse jumped ahead of Georgetown only a few ayrds from the fin- ish. Over the last two miles of the race Cornell widened the gap between It and the Badgers little by little, but twice the boys from Wisconsin spurted and pulled the Ithacans back. Columbla hung to Wiscon- sin up to the three- mile flag and even at the begioning of the last half mile when the Quakers pulled away. The Wash- ington boys struggled hard, but finally dropped back to sixth in the struggle. It was almost 6 o'clock when Referee John BEustis asked the 'varsity men if they were ready and fired his pistol. All six cdews got away Ifi good style, but the Cor- nell boat soon began to creep ahead. At the end ofthe firat elght of & mile Cornell had a ten foot lead over Wisconsin, while the other four shells wi sigzagging along- side of the Badgers' coxwain. At the ead of the gaurter mile the Ithacans had thelr shell a good quarter of a length ahead of the Badgers. It was a race to warm up the most cold-blocded. From the long observa~ tion train a curious medley of csheer broke the stillness of the Hudson and reverberated among the hills. Cornell and Wisconsin were wild with excitement, while Columbia was delighted with the way in which ita
