ESTABLISHED JUNE 19, 1871. SURE T0 BE CROWNED Possible Postponement. BURSTS INTO RAGE AT SUGGESTION Dectors of Opinion that He Would Not Burvive Another Disappointment. HAUNTED BY SUPERSTITIOUS FEARS None but His Immediate Family sad Most Intimate Friends See Him, ILLNESS HAS RECONCILED ROYAL PAIR 3 Rue OConstantly with Her Hu and Tekes Personal Charge of Affairs on Yacht. (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Aug. 2.—(New York World Ca- Blegram—Special Telegram.)—King Bdward s firmly resolved to be crowned next Sat- urday even it he has to be borne up West- minster Abbey in a litter. When he heard that the duke of Norfolk Bad fssued new invitations to the abbey undated the king was extremely annoyed and sent a message to the duke directing that all preparations be completed imme- dintely, as the ceremonlal certainly would take place this time. The duke of Norfolk hae been in constant direct communication with the queen and the officlals of the royal yacht, and if he thought it desirsble to omit the date from the invitation cards it can be realized how ‘well founded Is the public uncertainty. The desire to get. the coronation over with has grown to be a perfect monomania with the royal invalid. It is related that the other day his fricnd, the Marquis de Soveral, let fall an expression which seemed to imply that the coronation date 1s not absolutely certaip, whereupon the king burst into'a rage that caused the doc- tors mo little alarm. Everyone about the yacht humors him as it he were a child and always aseumes that the coronation on Au- gust 9 is as good as accomplished. The king himself is making all his en- gagements for the fall on that basis. If anything should happen now to defer the crowning again the doctors say that they could not be answerable for his life, that the king is making good progress, but his attempts to walk at this stage of convales- samce undeuhtedly are risky. It is not be- lleved that fn any case he can walk up the abbey with his heavy robes. An invalld chair will certainly be requisitioned for that purpose. A ? King is Superstitious. Undoubtedly the king's anxiety to be erowned is largely due to superstition. He seems to have been beset with evil omens before his breakdown. . The World correspondent learns ‘that arrived from Aldershot and % " ki G DL T kg s g be got above half mast. It stuck there and could not be hoisted. Finally the Union Jatk was hoisted in its stead, which went up quite easily because the halyards ex- metly fitted the blocks. The incident has been oppressing the king’s mind ever since, and his doctors say Bo treatment can do any lasting good unless Be gets the coronation off his mind. They proposed that he should be crowned pri- vately, but the lord chancellor, the arch- bishop of Canterbury and the law officers agreed after consultation that a private coronation would have no legal effect. Although there have been many callers at the royal yacht, the ki aw nobody until within the last three days outside of the royal family and Soveral. The king of the Belglans was only recelved by the queen. When on last Saturday it was nec- essary for the privy council to assemble . mboard the yacht to sign the coronation proclamation the two passengers selected were bis particular friends, the duke of Devonshire and Lora James, because the king was #o afrald that comparative strang- ers might talk about his appearance and ‘helpless condition. Despite everything the doctors say, there 48 & rooted belief i court circles that the king 1s not through with his disease. It is current talk in those quarters that per- haps he will be better able to stand the ceremony mext Saturday than six months hence. King and GQueen Reconciled. There 18 one point on which the World correspondent has the most positive in- formation, and that Is as to the complete reconciliation between the king and the queen. It appears that when the surgical operation was about to be performed the king had most affecting in terview with the queen and at his request she held his hand when he was being put under the influence of chlofoform, in order to gratity xpressed wish that her face might be the last he saw If the operation proved fatal. When he was recovering consclousness the queen was again brought 1o his side and he looked gratefully at Since then the queen has taken entiro con- trol of everything concerning him. ‘whether other influences will re-assert themselves later on remalns to be seen. ' London is preparing for the coronation & very half-hearted fashion. The faded decorations are being put up again, but although the route of the procession is not two miles long, there is practically no de- mand for seats. Five out of six houses in the fashionable part of the West Bnd are closed, altuough it Is sald that the owners will return in large numbery. Peers and peereses with town mansions are en- gaging rooms at the leading hotels for Au. sust 8 and 9. There will be a general ex- odus on the following Sunday. Half pay officers are being offered lnvitations to the abbey in order to fill it up. The whole as- pect of affairs presents a painful contrast o the delirious excitement originally pre- dicted for this great ceremonial.

Proud of M wi YOUNG VAND_EH_BILT ELATED GOT'“ MAY BE A POPE FIGHT Accomplishment Third Place in a Race, (Copyright, 1502, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Aug. 2.—(New York World Cable- gram—8pecial Telegram.)—W. K. Vander- bilt, Jr., is elated over the result of the great circular automobile race in the Bel- glan Ardennes, in which he brilliantly won third place with a Mors machine, with which he was mot famillar. Fournier was prevented from driving by a sudden iliness. It was young Mr. Vanderbilt's first suc- cess in. the many races {n which he has en- tered In Europe. Describing the race to the World correspondent, Mr. Vanderbilt sald: The race certainly was falrer tham is usual in long events, with its meutralized section, which permitted rebairs, readjust- ments and rest. The track consisted of beautifully chosen roads, passing through only three small villages. No stop was allowed, however, the circuit being too small--about fifty miles. Six times around was needed to cover the 318 miles. ““Neither the winner, M. Jarrot, nor I could attain our topmost epeed. Personally 1 was frequently held back by being un- able to pass some competitor on account of the narrowness of the road. There were several bad accidents, but it really seemed miraculous that there was no telescoping. “I saw that Jarrot, who was coming at & dare-devil pace, took hair-raising chances of being shouldered iInto a ditch. His time for the 318 miles was five hours and fifty- three minutes, averaging about fifty-four miles an hour. That was wonderful con- #idering the difficulties. I am very proud of my own time—six hours and twenty-two minutes. I defeated some of the best French chauffeur: Mr. Vanderbilt called the World corre- spondent’s attention to the remarkable au- tomobile mountain climbing contests up Mount Cenis. An Italian, Signor Lancla, won, climbing nearly fifteen miles in thirty minutes and ten seconds. Reneaux, a Frenchman, was second in thirty-one min- utes and twenty-one seconds. Young Bradley-Martin and Count de Plombieres made a trip from London to Paris by automobile In exactly six hours, Leating the best rallway service by on hour. An unexpected change in the chan- nel steamer schedule caused a loss of fif- teen minutes. ROOT TO VISIT WITH LOUBET Denfes that His Trip Has Anything to Do with Canal Matte (Copyright, 1902, by Prese Publishing Co.) PpaRIE 9 —(New Vork World Oa- blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—United States Secretary of War Root has accepted an in- vitation to spend the week with President Loubet' at Rambouliet castle. He Intends to leave Tuesday to join his family at Carlebad. Mr. Root was received on his arrival at Havre by General Pestor, head- ing & committee of four representing ths French minlstry of war. The delzgatic met the steamship La Savole far out in whe & special tug. : who alsc wea tug took the party ashore before the other passengers landed and a special train wait- ing at the pler brought them to Paris in record time. Mr. Root denied that his visit was in connection with the Panama canal. Attorney Gemeral Knox will arrive soon and, with Assistant Russell, who has been here several weeks, will complete the in- quiry into the new Panama Canal com- pany’s title. The World correspondent’s private in- formation, which has been fully confirmed, is that no trouble nmeed be feared either from the French government or congress. Both the senate and Chamber of Deputie: will pass a special bill cheerfully if the United States government desires an addi- tional guaranty regarding the Fremch title. As for the public feeling, it is entirely in favor of giving the United States complete authority to complete the work. SPHINX IS CRUMBLING AWAY Incremsed Rainfall in Egypt Ruining the Anclent Monument. = (Copyright, 152, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Aug. 2.—(New York World Ca- blegram—S8pectal Telegram.)—Thé Echo de Parls quotes the old 'saw, ‘“Misfortunes never come singly,” and says that after the fall of the Campanile of Saint Mark in Venice another specimen of sculptural architectural art of the anclent times is menaced with ruin, the famous Sphinx of the Pyramide. A note of alarm has been sounded by D. C. Longworth, editor of a newspaper in Catro. It appears that the trouble arl from a change of temperature pnluodr; the works of irrigation of these last years. Now there ars fiftéen to eighteen days of rain in Egypt ananually, where formerly a modest inundation of an hour's length ap- peared llke an extraordinary event. But the celestial cataracts have so damaged collossus of stone that its crumbling away is considered only & question of years, after centuries of resistance and immobility. The most prominent French artists are signing a petition asking the Itallan gov- ernment to forbid\the rebullding in Venice of the Campanile; arguing that the monu- ment never was symmetrically propor- tioned, never had any architectural merit and was valuable only because of its while as for the projected tower, lts new- ness would howl against -the San Marco palaces.

GO0SSIP ABOUT THE SMART SET Prooklyn Wom the Unquestioned Belle of American Oolony 4 in Lomdon. (Copyright, 1802, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Aug. 2.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—The Amer- fcan belle jn London this year beyond question is Mrs. Samuel Sloan Chancey’of Brooklyn, who was one of the American women presented by Mrs. Choate at King Edward's court on May 2. She Is one of the prettiest women in London, and al- though very like her sister, Lady Newbor- ough, she is much prettier and has much more sparkle. She certainly has had many admirers. Whenever she is seen at a party she always i{s surrounded by the “smart” men and women. Mrs. “Jack” Leslle, Lady Randolph Churchill's er, has supplanted Mrs. Arthur Paget as the “bear leader'’ to the duke and duchess of Connought, who, not having much soclal talent themselves, are always dependent on some clever woman to arrange things for them. The falling out between Mrs. Paget and the Connaughts Is much talked of. It seems to have grown out of Mrs. Paget's Ascot party. Mrs. Newiiouso goes now to Homberg with Mrs. Nat Goodwin (Maxine Elliot), whose beauty fairly stunned the kaiser, ‘while he was equally charmed by her de- liclous voice and fascinating manner. Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin have just returned from Paris, where they have been spending a few days. Mrs. Beach Grant, the mother of the ocountess of Eseex, is resting in the coun- try, but will come back for the coronation. Her deafness is greatly inconveniencing her, but she has hopes of a new Invention which is shortly to be brought out. Mrs. Paget will give a grand banquet on coronation night. Her guests will include Mrs. George Keppel, the duke and duchess of Devonshire, Ambassador and Mrs. Choate, the marquis and marchioness of Londonderry, Earl Roberts, Viscount Kitchener and Earl and Countess Cadogan.

LONDON, Aug. 2.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telogram.)—In the an- nual report of the Soclety for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals there is an echo of Lord Shrewsbury's attempt to slur the victory of the American polo team in the.| first game of the International series at Hurlingham by charging Lawrence Water- bury with using spurs cruelly. The so- clety wanted to proceed with the prosecu- tion of Waterbury after Shrewsbury was shamed into dropping it; but found only one of Shrewsbury's witnesses, a woman, who was prepared to testify, This outcry about the use of spurs springs from malfice and rank ignorance, as all polo players know that the ponles suffer vastly more from the bit than from being spurred.
