KING’S GOLDEN ROBE. | The King’s golden robe has finally been | completed. It is a. gorgeous garment, | shaped like a priest's cope, composed of | e finest cloth of gold and elaborately roidered in varfous colors. :g the many ancient customs which the King has revived is one which makes thiose who shook their heads over his es- cape from serious injury on board Sir Thomas Lipt Shamrock TI May 22, 1901, almest equaly nervous.

The musical ritual of the coronation service announced .to-day shows that former settings have been closely=fol- lowed with a few notable additions. Chief of these are the anthems especially com- posed by Sir Frederick Bridge, organist of Westminster ,Abbey; Sir Walter Par- ratt, organist of St. George’s Chapel Royal, Windsor, and master of the King's music, and Charles H. Parry, director of the Royal College of Music. The last named, “I Was Glad,” signalizes the en- trance of the royal party into West- :ster Abbey. Midway in the anthem a 2k is made 5o that the boys of West- ster School may exercise their ancient rivilege of greeting thefr Majestieg by. uting “Vivat Regina Alexandra,” “Vivat Rex Edward!” then are to car w of COMPANY MUST PAY A PASSENGER DAMAGES| Supreme Court Sustains Verdict in the Lezinsky Case in New York. NEW YORK, June 7.—What is consid-l ered to be the largest verdict ever ob- tzined by a passenger on a street-car line for damages for being ejected from one of its cars, on the ground that he had to pay a second fare, has been sustained by the appellate division of the Supreme Court in the case of Eugene I Lezinsky, who obtained a verdict last November for 55000 damages against the Metropolitan Street Railway Company. Lezinsky, a merchant of San Francisco, boarded a Broadway car and paid his fare. When the car reached Houston street he was directed by the conductor to take the car ahead. After he had boarded 1he car the conductor demanded his fare. Lezinsky refused to pay it, saying he had paid it on the other car. The conductor then ejected him from the car and had him arrested and Jocked up for several Yiours, but he was’later discharged. He brought an action in the United States Court to recover damages for assault and false arrest | WAGES WAR ON PANAMA ROUTE 1 CHAIRMAN OF THE APPROPRIAT DENUNCIATION OF PANAMA IONS COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE; AND THE OREGON STATESMAN WHO MADE A MOST VIGORQUS ROUTE FOR ISTHMIAN CANAL. Government in Accepting French Offer. ASHINGTON, After 7 some June transacting cussing for a time the bill to relieve shippers from the London dock charges, the Senate resumed consideration to-day of the isthmian canal project, Mitchell of Cregon continued his speech begun on Thursday in opposition to the Panama rcute. After considering the engineering difficulties of the route, which he regard- ed as very serious, he entered upon a de- nunciation of the methods of the Panama Canal Company, which he deciared were the most corrupt in’ the history of the world. He warned Congress that no surer way could be found to defeat the censtruction of any canal than to adopt the Spooner amendment, as the United States could have no connection with the Panama route without becoming involved in the intricacies of the French adven- turers, from which it would find it im- possible to extricate itself. He declared that any connection this country might have with the Panama proposition would result in the defilement of the Govern- ment. DENOUNCES PANAMA SCHEME. Mitchell denounced the idea that the | United States should lend its name to the Panama canal enterprise, whose history during the last ten years had shocked the sensibilities of mankind. He declared that it was “the most rapacious scheme of legislative corruption,’ journalistic ‘ve- nality and social and political exposure ever uncovered in'any age or country.” He asserted that the launching of the Panama canal enterprise was “one of'the greatest farces ever witnessed on earth. either in ancient or in modern times,” and that the whole project was ‘‘one of.the most stupendous goldbrick games ever imposed upon a people.” Mitchell declared that by the Spooner amendment and the views of the minority of the canal committee the United States was not only invited to participate in a gigantic lottery scheme, but also would be compelled by French law controlling | the canal's construction to. purchase in France all raw .materials entering into the canal. He pointed out that the new Panama VON WALDERSEE WARS WITH GERMAN GENERAL Dispute Arises Between the Allied Forces Commander and an Infantry Officer. BERLIN, June 7.—A painful dispute has arisen between General Count von Wal- dersee, who was commander of the allied forces in China, and General von Bissing, commander of the infantry at Wesel. Von Waldersee, an inspector general, insisted on inquiries beyond the usual jurisdiction of his office and Von Bissing strenuously objected.

At Least Five Yards| Interested in the Project. Special Dispatch to The Call. | NEW YORK, June 7.—Arrangements were completed late this afternoon for underwriting the bonds that will be used | by the corporation formed for the purpose | of consolidating at least five of the big| shipbuilding yards of the country. This | is the same amalgamation that was at- tempted last year and which then failed | because of the dissatisfaction expressed | by the investing public with the form of securities offered. The project was never abandoned, and since May, 1901, plans | pave been slowly maturing. No one could be fapnd to-day who | would give the full list'of vards now in- | terested in the deal. Among others known | to be concerned are the Bath Tron Works | and Bath Windlass Company of Bath, Me.; Crescent Ship Yards of Elizabeth- port, N. J.: Newport News Shipbuilding anl Dry Dock Company of Newport News, Va.; Union Iron Works of San Francisco; Harlan & Hollingsworth of | Wilmington, Del. ¢ NIXON IS THE MANAGER. At the head of this great concern as manager will be Lewis Nixon of the Cres- cent Ship Yards, who is also closely allied with the Cramps of Philadelphia, and who never has ceased to labor to bring about consolidation since the project was first broached. P i Beyond the fact that the underwriting | of securities of the preposed corporation had been agreed upon, nothing could be learned from those most Interested. Everywhere an &attempt was made to keep the affair quiet, though it was ad- mitted that all of ready for publication before the end of this week. From a source that as authoritatjve/it was to the amgunt of regarded issued no one would say, During the last week there have been several meetings in this city of those most interested and a full agreement is understood to have been ‘reached. = The underwriting, it is under- stood, has been arranged through the of- fice of Alexander & Green of 120 Broad- way. Besides Nixon, it is understood that J. J. McCook, H. E. Huntington, Irving M. Scott, builder of the Oregon, and Henry Poor, have been concerned in bringing | ahout an agreentent of the big ship-build- ing interests of the country. TO DISTRIBUTE WORK. All of the yards brought into the plan will be operated under a single manage- ment. Work will be distributed in a man- ner that will make it possible to construct | all classes of ships at the least cost. Ship- ‘building of foreign countries will be mcl.r in competition, it being the opinion of the Americans that the natural advantages that should result from the constant de- velocpment of the steel industries of the United States will make it possible for ships to be built here cheaper and better than elsewhere, and that this can be done without a reduction of wages. In the natural course of events ships will be operated as well as built, and further developments of the combination are contemplated. One wio has made a careful study of the situation made the statement at one of the metings recently held in this city that within the next five years the ship- builders of the United States ‘will take from the shipbuilders of Europe so much work that the remainder will be shifted to this side of the Atlantic, and that for- eign owners will make it a rule to buy ships in this country. By extending equipments for ship con- struction ‘the yards that will come under single management will be prepared to build any class of craft from a freight- | carrying merchant vessel to the largest ship of war. A second combination may ‘make it possible for big battleships to be completed, even to armor plating. To no other city will the new order of things mean so much as to New York. The Crescent Shipyard at Elizabethport, which in reality is a New York institu- tion, will be largely rebuilt and will be so increased in size that it will compare favorably with larger yards now In oper- ation. Lewis Nixon, when seen this afternoon, refused to discuss the report that is cur- rent. When pressed for a confirmation, he sald: “Just quote me as saying that there is nothing in the report, which at this time 1 can neither confirm nor deny.” gt - i McALLISTER WILL WED AN EASTERN ACTRESS RICHMOND, Va., June 7.—To increase the interest local soclety elready feels in Hall McAllister, the nephew of the late Ward McAllister. who is playing in a stock company here, comes the report that he is engaged to marry Miss Margaret El- lington, the leading woman of the organ- jzation of which he is a member. Me- Allister, when questioned as to this re- port to-day, pleasantly remarked that he hoped it was so, and would say’ no more on the subject. Miss Ellington appeared in the role of Fleur de Lis in “Notre Dame,” at Daly’s Theater, New York, last winter. She is to play the same part in Miss Bertha Gal- fi's.commy.nnt season, and McAl- lister, too, it {g'sald, will be In that organ= lon. the details will' be |+ «ES SELAMU AL EIKUM,” IN LETTERS OF LIGHT, BENISON OF PILGRIMS Mystic Shriner Hosts Beginning to In- ' vade City.

Everybody at Islam Temple headquar- ters yesterday was as busy as possible ar- ranging the final details to give the sev- eral approaching caravans the royal wel- come that Shriners know how to give. Fach committeeman called: to receive last instructions and each promised to do his best to make the affair the great success that is hoped for by the executive com- mittee. During the day the front of ihe headquarters was decorated with em- blems that are to shine at night.” The up- per one is the Eastern Star in red, wlhite, blue, green aud yellow. Underneath are the words *‘Oasis of Islam” and below that is the shrine emblem. S The decoration committee, under the su- pervision of- Colonel Theodore Reichert, was busy transforming the interior of Golden Gate Hall, where the Imperial Counell is to meet, into. a bower ' of beauty. sembly hall has been formed into an arch, covered with fish net. In the meshes of this there will~ be placed rows of sweet peas of white, red and vio- jet, to convey an Iidea of the wealth . -of flowers in the Golden State. On. either side of -the vestibule there will bé a row of palms. In the in- terior of the hall the gallery has been draped with golden foulard with ball trimming, and between each fold there is a red electric light. From the bottom of the gallery between each space in ths drapery is a hanging basket of ferna. Against the wall are any fiumber of Aus- trallan ferns and fan palms, while at the top -of the columns at the front of the stage gracefully hang on one side American flags, crossed, and on the other Engilsh flags. also crossed. The reason of this is that the order exists in the Do- minfon of Canada as well ds in the United States, and one of the imperial officers is Necble Collins, the treasurer, who is a res- ident of Toronto. On the stage there will be arranged on the sides banks of high palms and there will be a profusion of flowers at the back, During the session of the council the windows will all be darkened for the. purpose of having a nost beautiful effect of the.red,. golden and white. lights.

The force of artlsags and decorators that for a’ week has been decorating the Mechanics’ Pavilion has transformed the irterior of the big building into a very at- tractive place, under the direction of Chief Decorator Frank E. Pratt. From one end to the other there has: been | fermed an arch of American flags, while the sides are a mass of bannerets of all cclors, relieved here and there with hun- .dreds of hanging baskets of flowers and ‘trailing plants. In the center of the bullding, at the galleries, are, on one side ‘the great seal of state and on the other = California scene, while at the Polk-street cnd there'is a large picture of the Golden Gate in the backgreund, and in the fore- ground are typical scenes representing the irdustries of the State. This is flanked on each side with large patriotic pictures, surmounted by the ‘American and English colcrs, while over the main picture there is a canopy of Bags.
