M.— Salutes from the Tower of London and Hyde Park are just booming at sunrise of coronation day. 8:30 A. M.—It was announced at Buckingham Palace at a quarter after 8 o’clock this morning that King Ed- ward was in excellent health and spirits. SIMLA, India, Aug. 9.—Salutes were fired here this morning and coronation services were held in the churches throughout India. It is believed that the proposed visit to Delhi for the coronation Dur- bar, January 3, 1903, of the Duke of Connaught, brother to King Edward, has been decided upon. ONDON, Aug. 8—The eve of the coronation of King Ed- ward VII was marked in Lon- don by large crowds, which wandered all the evening some- what aimlessly through the semi-illuminated streets. Down Whitehall, where the Canadian arch was the center of dttraction, around Westmin- ster Abbey and along the Strand, the sidewalks were blocked with the expec- tant populace. The people were deterred from any signs of rowdyism by the ac- ute recollection of the” recent postpone- ment of the coronation and those who had seen the unrestrained exhibitions which occurred upon the slightest pre- text during war times could not fail to notice the different temperament shown to-night.. With a few exceptions it might have been well said of the metropolis of the empire that it was living up to the national reputation of taking its pleasures somewhat sadly. The absence of blatant horns and an- noying feathers was pleasantly atoned for by the lighting up of many buildings. The brilliancy of the fllumination held the country visitors to the city so spell-bound that vehicular trafic became more and more difficult as the night wore on. Un- | til a very late hour the stand speculators | did a thriving business and around those ands occupying good locations there ere lines of people anxious to get seats at the last moment. Many of the thou- sands who walked through the streets ex- hibited unmistakable signs of an inten- tion to stay up all night in the hope of | securing & free point of vantage from which to view to-morrow’s procession. Workmen were still busy putting the finishing touches to the abbey and its approaches and every detail of this work was watched eagerly by the spectators; in an undramatic sort of wa London has been transformed by the mul- titudes wishing to see any part of the of great unrest. The idea of sleep or an adequate allo ance of time for rest has quite been gl up by the people in the streets, and underlying this intensity of expectation there is a serious nervousness among the majority lest they should awake from their shortened slunibers to find the great cvent once more postponed. MAGISTRATE'S DILEMMA. Among the many incidents of the night one of the most curious occurred at Scot- land Yard, where a Scottish magnate who had received a sudden telegraphic invita- tion to be present at Westminster Abbey with the proviso that he appear in court dress, appealed at a late hour to the po- | 1ice to help him hire or borrow the clothes necessary for admittance. All signs point to an orderly celebra- tion under doubtful weather conditions | and with public enthuslasm tempered by heartfelt rellef over the passing of the shadow which. so recently overcast the empire. \ King Edward passed a busy day at Buckingham Palace and did not appear to the public at all. At a late hour to- night he was reported as feeling quite strong and as looking forward to to- morrow’s ceremonies without the slight- est misgiving. Acting upon medical advice Lord Salis- bury has obtained the King's permission to absent himself from the coronatlon. The ex-Premier will shortiy leave for the Continent. One of the most curious incldents of the coronation will be the appearance of a uniform of the Salvation Army in West- minster Abbey. King Edward decided that a representative of the Salvation Army should be invited to the coronation and Bramwell Booth has been appointed | to attend the ceremony. A difficulty arose about the uniform he should wear and the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk, intimated that he was not authorized to recognize the uniform of the Salvation Army. Mr. Booth thereupon wrote to King Edward, requesting permission to wear the uniform of the army. This per- mission his Majesty readily gave and Mr. Booth will appear in the uniform of his rank in the Salvation Army. ROYALTY IN PROCESSION. The first section of the procession to the abbey will start from Buckingham Palace at 10:30 o'clock and will consist of dress carriages and pairs, containing | members of the royal family, headed by trumpeters, the Royal Horse Guards' s ITAIN AWATTS MORGAN'S MOVE Ministers Withhold the News of Canadian Service. LONDON, Aug. 8—The House of Lords adjourned to-day to October 15. In re- sponse to inquiries just prior to the ad- journment as to whether the Government ment of a British Atlantic steamship ser- vice after the absorption of the British lines by the American combination, Lord Onslow, Under Colonial Secretary, said tke question of a new Canadian service bad nothing to do with the American combine. Certain proposals had been submitted to the Canadian Government, but the latter had not informed his Majesty’s Govern- | ment of their purpose or asked assist- | ance. The question of the establishment of a British service, however, was receiv. ing the earnest attention of the Govern- ment. If such a line were established it would be necessary to come to Parlia- ment for money, and then complete de- tafls would be given out. It would be un- wise at present to communicate the nego- tiations. As indicated in these dispatches yester- day, the announcement made in Belfast of ‘an arrangement by the Admiraity and the Morgan shipping combine was pre- mature. Negotiations are still proceeding and it is believed with every promise of success. In the House of Commons this after- noon Premier Balfour said the Govern- ment had been engaged in negotiations connected with and arising from the cir- cumstances connected with the formation of the shipping combine. “Unfortunately, we are not yet in a po- sition to make a statement to the pub- lic,”” said Balfour, “the accident to the Colonial Secretary, Mr. Chamberlain, baving caused some delay, but I am con- fident that when the House meets again we shall be in a position to take it -into our confidence.” BRADLE Y - R g \)’IA\( v i Y75 )2 o ] | ’ | | I 3 <5 Band, the First Life Guards and the Royal Horse Guards.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8.—Within three weeks Santa Catalina Island will be in telegraphic communication with the out- side world. The Western Union Tele- graph Company has poles on the way and they are expected to-morrow at San Pedro for the line from that place to White's Point to make connection with the Pacific Wireless Telegraph Company’s station. The work of setting up the poles and stringing the wires will be commenced at once, it is announced, and should be com- pleted in a week or two. | Superintendent Lamb of the Western Union, from San Francisco, and Manager Edgar Beardsley of the Los Angeles of- fice went to White's Point and witnessed tests which convinced them that vae wire- less system between the island and the mainland is in practical working order, though there are minor details yet to be perfected. The wireless people had ap- plied to the Western Union for connection from San Pedro, and as the result of the test, poles were ordered and arrangements made for installing the line that is to make the southern California island gem as easily and quickly communicated with from New York as from Los Angeles. “Mr. Lamb and I went to White's Point and saw enough to make us believe that the wireless system is working all right,” sald Mana%er Beardslee of the Western Union. “I knew the gentleman at the Avalon station, and I sent a message which went through all right. while Mr. Lamb received a message from Avalon.” RIVERSIDE, Aug. 8.—Claude Cochrane, a young man well known here as an architect and bandmaster, died early this morning from injuries recetved in a runaway accident, King's .

DEAN OF WESTMINSTER IS RELIEVED OF A PART OF HIS DUTIES. — OWING TO ADVANCED YEARS —ge descriptions of the coronation, pro- grammes, sketches and articles on the sreat event. Alfred Austin, the poet laureate, and John Davidson have both contributed coronation odes. The weather is fine, but rather cloudy. There is 'a promise of cool breezes, pe- riods of fair weather and passing show- ers. The exodus of goclety from London has caused many vacancies among the al- lotted seats in the Abbey. These have been given to officials of the governmen- | tal departments. It is said that 200 tick- | ets to the Abbey, issued to members of the House of Commons, were returned These include the tickets sen sh members of the House, who | have gone to Dublin, and the unoccupied House of Commons seats will be given to officers from South Africa, colonial rep- resentatives, etc. The early trains to London are bring- ing throngs of people from the suburbs. | Crowds already line the whole route of ! the procession, which has been closed by | | the police to wheel traffic, with the ex- ception of those vehicies the occupants of which are provided with tickets to ‘Westminster Abbey or the official stands. The iroops are marching in from their | camps on the outskirts of the metropolis | or arriving by train from more distant points and are taking up their positions. The arrival of the regalia from the tower at Westminster Abbey made a stirring scene. A gorgeous state coach with roval footmen in state livery and closely hedged about with prancing troop- ers of the household cavalry swung up to the abbey and the cavalcade quickly dis- appeared under the cloister archway. A cordon of police stretched itself suddenly across the street, shutting out the pub- lic while the horses came to a standstill and the cavalry formed a screen. The ceremony of the transferrence of the re. galia_was superintended by Major Gen- eral Ellis, controller of the King’s house- hold, while the King’s bargemaster was in attendance, as is his duty whenever the King's crown is removed from one place to another. As soon as the jewels were deposited in the Jerusalem chamber a force of Yeomen mounted guard over them, while extra forces of policemen were ‘on duty outside the abbey through- out the night. There was an unusual celebration on the Stock Exchange here before the clos- ing hour last evening. An orchestra had been stationed in the balcony under a Union Jack. All the_ electric lights were turned on and the orchestra played the national anthem, in which all the mem-. bers of the exchange jolned. The Gazette to-night announced that King Edward had established a new im- perial service order ‘“for the recognition Or sixteen years in an undealthtul col- ny- PROGRAMME IS SHORTENED. Aged Dean of Westminster Is Re- lieved of One Duty. LONDON, Aug. 8.—A number of import- ant changes in the coronation programme were announced to-day. The recognition in which the King is presented to the people by the Archbishop of Canterbury as “the undoubted King of the realm” will be performed but once instead of four times, as given in the official pro- gramme. The litany, which was to have followed the recognition, will not be said, | the sermon will be omitted and the “Te Deum,” which was placed in the order of the service after the presenting of the ! Bible, will not -be given at that time, but will be sung during the recess, at the! close of the coronation office when the K.h:g visits St. Edward’s chapel. Owing to the age of the Very Rev. George Gran- ville Bradley, the dean of Westminster, | who is 81 years old, the King has relieved | him of the duty of placing the regalia | upon the altar ‘and this service will be performed by Canon Duckworth, but the | dean will present the crown to the Arch- | bishop for the act of coronation and will present the communion cup to the King. | Canon Duckworth will lay the ampulla | and spoon on the altar, will place upon Lis Majesty the colobium sindonis and the | supertunica or the close pall of cloth | gold and will deliver the spurs to the | Lord Great Chamberlain, will take the | King's sword from the altar and hand it to his Majesty, will put upon the King | armilla and imperial mantle, will take the orb with the cross from the altar and deliver it to the Archbishop for presenta- tion to the King and will receive the orb from the King to be lald by him on the | ar. King Edward held an investiture at Buckingham Palace this afternoon and | presented orders to a number of those | Included in the eoronation honors, among them the Order of the Garter to the Duke | of Marlborough. His Majesty also re-| celved Ras Makonnen, the Abyssinian | envoy, and made him a Knight Com- | mander of the Order of St. Michael and | St. George. AL SCHEME OF DECORATION. Gas /Instead of Electricity Forms the | Principal Illumination. | LONDON, Aug. S.—London maintains | its every-day appearance. It is true that | the short route of the coronation proces- | sion is decorated at some points more bril- | liantly than before, but the route is a| mere speck in the great area aof the city, | and even ‘on the streets to be traversed | by the procession there are few sightseers. | The main thoroughfares, miles of which ! were gay with flags and bunting in June, are now stripped except for the illumina- tion fixtures, which were allowed to re-| main in place. Cheapside, Fleet street and the Strand, all told, contaln scarcely six decorated buildings. To-day the crowd was even smaller than on the average week day, owing largely to the miserable weather, ' which is now denominated “King’s weather,” just as sunshine was always connected with the name of Queen | Victoria. ‘Westminster is the center of what little activity London displays. The chief stands .in the vicinity of St. Margaret's have been redecorated and Piccadilly re- furbished with crimson Venetian masts, supporting trophies and flags, joined by streamers of gay bunting. The same gen- eral scheme prevails in Pall Mall. Many clubs’ stands have disappeared. The pri- vate stands, re-covered in crimson, are doing a fair business, prices for seats run- ning from $10 to $50, with the cheaper classes sold out. One of the most. striking schemes of decoration is on the big bullding of the Automobile Club in Piccadilly, the front of which is studded with 200 big acetelyne motor lamps, promising a brilliant display at night. A number of houses at Hyde Park corner and its vicinity are hand- somely decorated with artificial flowers. The incandescent illumination promises the best effects of all the decorations. A remarkable feature to American eyes is the general use of gas in_preference to electricity. The Bank of England, Man- | sion House and many private buildings are covered with an unsightly maze of | pipes with hundreds of small burners, | globes and crystal devices containing the crown and the royal cipher. ‘Westminster Abbey to-day received the precious regalia which was taken under a strong guard from the Tower and also a wealth of - gold and silver plate from Buckingham Palace, all of which will be guarded to-night by a strng detachment of Life Guards and Yeoman Guards. Despite the announced departure of all the special embassies the Government has been somewhat embarrassed to find a few of these guests still on hand. While Whitelaw Reid, the special American em- bassador, announced the formal dissolu- tion of his embassy, General Wilson, E. L. Bayliss and J. Plerpont Morgan Jr. are now in London, and the authorities, who were decidedly doubtful as to whether they should recognize their pres- ence, finally settled the matter by send- ing all of them tickets to the abbey, but, emphasized the fact that the courtesy was extended in a strictly personal capacity. Ras Makonnen, the envoy of Emperor Menelik: of Abyssinia, .also returned in barbaric splendor, ready to participate, and the Government good-natur: took him- under its wing, not only giving him a good seat In the abbey but announcing that a native cross of sllver of Abyssinian workmanship, which Ras presented at Westminster when the King’s illness was made known, would be carried in the ab- bey to-morrow in the coronation proces- sion. The American embassy received a for- mal letter from the War Office, asking 1t to loan an American flag to_ decorate a -’ balcony at the War Office. The flag was | sent and to-day it files from the balcony. | Sir Thomas Lipton received a special in- vitation to the abbey as the guest of the King. A curious feature of the coronation pre. parations is the immense rush of holida: seekers out of town, all rallways adver- tising special excursions to the country reporting a slight increase in the incom- | ing t c. The restaurants and hotels are not risking a repetition of the enor- mous losses in June and insurance rates rule even higher now than on June 25, brokers asking 4 per cent, against 3 in of merit in the house and colonial clvil | June.
