Coronation of Mikado Held in | Shunkoden Hall, Kioto. | { SEVERAL AMERICANS PRESENT | KIOTO, Nov. 10.—For the llrutl time in history the people of Japan and the representatives of the people of foreign lands were present today at the coronation of a mikado, when Yoshihito, son of Mutsuhito, as- cended the throne of Nippen, The ceremony of this morning was a ritual service of ancestor worship and was held in a specially erected hall in the palace grounds known as the Sshunkoden hall, where was en- shrined the sacred mirror brought from Toklo. The SBhunkoden was of plain, unvarnished wood and con- sisted of an outer hall, inner hall and shrine, It was slmply decorated. In- deed, simplicity dominates the coro- nation ceremonies. The decorations were those of Shintoism, the religion adopted by the court, which is more pronouncedly a serfes of rites than a religion pure and simple. At the appointed time the two gates of the outer aall ‘“kenrel-mon”’ and “kensnunmon,” respectively, faciag south and east, were opened for the roception of those allowed to attend the grand cere- mony. Then arrived the guests, distinguished officials, civil and military, nobles, the members of the House of, Representatives and the Houso of Peers, the diplomatic corps and other qignitaries, accompanied by their wives, Severa) Amerloans Present. The United States was represented by Ambassador George W. Guthrie and Mra. Guthrie, by Post Wheeler, the firit secre- tary of the embassy, and Mrs, Wheeler: by Colonel James A. Irons, the military attache, and Mrn, Irons, and by Captain | | | , Frederick J. Horne, the naval attache, and Mrs. Horne. Great Ceremony Begins.

Led by high court officials all those present, including civil and military officers and the diplomatic corps, who had assembled in the antechamber, ross and entered the main hall. All these people were reated also, There was a period of im- pressive silence, suddenly broken by strains of music. The steady, clear note of the Japanese flute was succeeded by | harmonious rofter strains, symbolio of sanctity and joy. This was the kagura or Shirto music played by the court mu- siclans. As the chords filled the alr the doors of the imperial sanctuary were slowly opened and the ritualists placed sacreq offerings before the altar, This over, the chief ritualist, majestic In flow- | ing robes and wearing the stiff oval bon- net of the Ehinto priest, knelt re the altar and then rising read thé “notrito” or ceremoanial address announcing to the soul of the imperial ancestress, Amater- nsu Omikami, the beginning of the grand the emperor were the lord chamberiain, chamberlains, chief aldes-de-camp, aldcs- de-camp and at a short distance the princes of the blood, Count Okuma, the prime minister; the lord keeper of the privy seal and the ohlef coronation com- Acknowledges Greeting. the respectful greetings of (he and the envoys from emperor was a strik- milk-white robe of color white is always services, being symbolic ty, On his head the coronet of imperia) mirror had been the sanctuary, bamboo blinds, sk ourtains.

It has been officlally announced that the head of the British war office was on his way to the theater of operations in the near east which has been generally interpreted as meaning the Balkans where the critical situation of the moment con-~ fronts the allied forcés. Information reaching the United States, however, through channels not subject to tensor- | ship is to the‘effect that it is weh Wnown | in London among those close to the gov- ernment that while Barl Kitchener may stop in the Balkans to co-ordinate the efforts of the allled forces his ultimate | déstination s not only Indla, but Egypt ! as well, where the British gateway to Asia now is menaced by the Teutonio- Bulgarian-Turk successes in the Balkans. Coupled with repeated rumors of activities of German agents fomenting discontent among the native population of India, have come reports of dissaffection in Egypt also ascribed to the same sources.
