" '- This latter prince Is not here as the ruler of his state, for court etiquette forbids the presence of ruling princes at a coronation, so he takes up the position of a close rela tive of the king. All these princely person ages will wear their brilliant uniforms glit tering WKh orders and decorations. Then in the oruer of their precedence are to be placed row after row of peers and peer seas. American Women Present. American ladies are to figure very prom inently In the ranks of the peeresses.

IIOITK OF TI1K GREAT PARADE Line of March for Procession Marked by Grandstands. LONDON, June 18. The final prepara tions for the coronation festivities through next week are rapidly being brought to a close, and. the city is fast being given over to a spirit of holiday rejp(clng on a colossal scale, with untold thousands of visitors from America and other parts of the world here to Join in the royal demonstration. A notable feature along the lines of route to be followed by the newly-crowned king in his procession through the streets of London next Thursday and Friday is the almost complete transformation of familiar sights. Churches, ancient edifices. public buildings and open spaces, business premises and private residences have en tirely changed their appearance. Starting with the Westminster abbey itself, the an nex added to increase the accommodation has altered Its aspect almost alarmingly, although efforts were exerted to lend an air of age to the stucco addition. The Parliamentary church of St. Mar garet and the adjacent Parliament square are unrecognizable in consequence of the gigantic stands covered with purple bunt ing, surrounding and hiding them from view. On the latter spot the statue of Lord Beaconsfield appears to look down on the passing procession as from a pri vate box at a theater, for tt is enclosed in a square wooden palisade reaching to the breast. Then along Whitehall stand after stand varies the usual appearance of the impos ing government offices and the old-fashioned Admiralty. At Trafalgar, square Iandseer's lions have disappeared under timber tiers of seats. Old-St. Martin's in the Fields Is cloaked in . bunting and ear rounded by crowded stands. (; In response to many petitions, from par ticipants In the coronation ceremonial, the Office tot Works has decided to - permit those present to purchase as souvenirs the chairs and stools on which they Fat, all of which are marked with the word "Cor onation" and embossed with the crown and the date of the occurrence. Carina; for the Guests. The onerous duty of the disposition of the guests has fallen on the earl marshal, the duke of Norfolk, who for many weeks has been the busiest man In England. His task was rendered all the nore difficult bv reason of the fact that the, space In Westminster abbey Is very limited, and be fore he was able to take Into consideration any of the thousands of . applications for Invitations from the distinguished visitors and others desirous of being present he was compelled to provide sitting room for no fewer than 4,040 official guests. These guests comprised forty members of the royal family, 250 foreign rulers and representatives of foreign states, l,4i0 peers and peeresses, 670 members of Parliament, M members of the diplomatic corps, privy councellors, bishops and judges, 600 official colonial representatives and 730 officers of the army and navy,' king's councellors atid members of the royal household. As the Abbey Is capable of holding only slightly under (.000, there remained only , about 1.0U0 places to be disposed of by the unofficial public. A large staff was engaged In the earl marshal's office for over a month In sending out courteous refusals. Carriage Horses Scarce. A peculiar dilemma arising out of the scarcity of first-class carriage horses which has developed tance the universal in troduction of the motor car, affected many members of the peerage and ancient no bility participating prominently in the regal functions and processions of the corona tion. The question of horsing the cumber some but elegantly emblaxoned ' family state coaches which have been In service sometimes for centuries, on such occasions became in many cases acute and recourse bad to be had for their supply not only to the stables of country mansions, where most of the animals are now kept, but to the public livery stables, who for a time enjoyed something of their prestige. No fewer than 60,000 troops, comprising representative regiments of the regular army, the yeomanry, the territorial volun teers and detachments from Canada, South Africa, Ceylon, Hongkong, the Malay States. Malta, Bermuda and the West In diaa colonies, together with a val bri The Glad Hand gade; are to be engaged In keeping the routes along the ' line of the procession. These are under the supreme command of Field Marshal Lord Kifchener, who was especially appointed to the post by the king. ' In addition to the military,' the entire police forces of the city and of great Lon don, numbering altogether over 20,000 men mounted or on foot, are assisting in keep ing order. To avoid the terrible consequences of possible rushes into the main thorough fares from side streets, barriers of timber are erected at the most dangerous street junctions. BEACON FIRES TO FLASH NEWS Llarhts Will Take Word to the Walt .. In British Public.' LONDON, June 18. Beacon fires built on. X.500 of the most prominent points of the British Isles, in England. Wales, Scot land and Ireland, will on the evening of June ZS flash the tidings of the coronation of King George V to the remotest recesses of the country. At 10 o'clock in the even ing magnesium rockets will be fired from all the points selected in England, Wales and Ireland, followed by a shower of colored rockets. Then the fires will be lighted and the people gathered round will sing the national anthem. 1 - The same program will be observed In Scotland half an hour later, the delay arising from the fact that daylight lasts longer in the northern regions. The ancient beacon hills, used In olden times to warn the Inhabitants of the approach of enemies, are to be utilized on this occasion. . n) r Carriage of State. The state carriage In which King George will proceed to the coronationhas carried five of his predecessors to the abbey on a similar mission. It was built 150 years ago. in 1761, for King George III, and its body which weighs over four tons, is of fine oak with allegorical paintings by Cipriani on the panels. ' Its initial cost was 35,000. George IV, William IV, Victoria and Ed ward VII also drove in it 'to their corona tions. ' ' It wHl be drawn' in the procession- to" the abbey by eight of the ' celebrated cream horses from the royal stables and a'jroom In state livery' will walk at each' hone's head. The harness, which Is covered With red Morocco leather with gold-plated metal facings, will be the same as was used at Queen Victoria's diamond. Jubilee and at Edward VII's coronation In 19S2. . . Many of the foreign ambassadors and peers will use elaborate state carriages richly upholstered and brilliantly em blazoned with coats of arms In which to drive to the ceremony, but no person ex-, cept those belonging, to the, 'royal family may. have more than a pair xf horses at tached to his carriage. ' " King's Crown .a ''New One. The Imperial crown which will be placed on .King George's head at the coronation Is not yet a century old, and in its present Stolypin Defers Conflict on Zemstvo by Cutting Short the Sitting of the Duma ST. PETERSBURG. June 18. Five months of usual summer inactivity in Russia's home politics began with the adjournment of the Duma by imperial decree on May 26. The session was cut short one month ' In order to avoid, the threatened embarrass ment of the government over the conten tious Zemstvo measure, providing self gov ernment for the western provinces, and which was promulgated over the head of the legislature on March 27. . By dispatching the Duma one day before the expiration of the term for obligatory submission of the bill for legislative con sideration. Prime Minister Stolypin de ferred the conflict -until autumn. Steps have been taken meanwhile to expedite the provincial elections and elaborate the In stallment of zemstvo institutions la the six provinces under the provisions of the act, and when the legislature 'next takes up the question it will deal with, an accomplished fact, in which It will probably decide to acquiesce. Despite the Duma's three-quarters ma jority and the council's two-thirds majority against Premier Stolypin, on the vote to declare his defense of his conduct in the promulgation of the western setnstvo blU unsatisfactory, the Chambers have con tinued to collaborate with the minister in current legislation. Appropriations were voted by the Duma for a fleet of (our form has never been worn by any sover elgn. It was first made for Queen Vic toria in 133 and King Edward VII wore it unchanged at his coronation, but since that occasion it has been enlarged and embellished. In its front has now been set the great Culinan diamond the "Star of Africa," which takes the place of the magnificent broad-spread sapphire, now placed at the back. , Besides these enormous precious stones, whose value is Inestimable, many hundreds of glorious diamonds, pearls, . . rubles emeralds, brilliants and smaller sapphires adorn It These ' are set together in the shape of Maltese crosses, fleurs de Us, oak leaves and.ecor,. roses, thistles and shamrocks. Altogether It con tains over t.000 diamonds and 300 pearls, with smaller numbers pt the other stones.' Some of these are of great hlstorio In terest For Instance.'" the sapphire In the cross, at the top of the crown was for merly worn by Edward the Confessor in a ring, while a huge uncut spinet ruby in the center of a Maltese cross of diamonds in the front bears the name of Edward the Black Prince, and the same stone was set in the helmet of Henry V at the battle of Aglncourt. ' The broad-spread sapphire, which has just been moved to the back, formed part of the regalia of the ScbttlBh kings and was bequeathed by the last of the unfortunate Stuarts to George IV. Many of the other stones which ornament the new king's crown have farmed part of the regalia belonging to the English kings since the period of the Norman con quest In 1066. Queen's Wonderfnl Crown. The queen's crown, In accordance with precedent dating from the return of Charles II to 1:1s crown. Is entirely new. It Is ornamented only with diamonds and Is absolutely dazzling In its brilliance. The Immense "Koh-i-Nur," or "mountain of light," is set in the front. No jewel tn the world has such a story as this. Its au thentic history can be traced for over six centuries, and tradition carries It" back much farther. In 1304 it was captured from, the rajah of Malwa by Ala-ed-dln, and two centuries afterwards it was dis covered in the pofses'lon of the Moguls. It was uFed as one of the eyes of the royal peacock, adorning Aurungsebe's throne and then by means of conquest, assassination and trickery parsed from the hands of one Indian prince after another until It was finally secured by the powerful Sikh, Ranjlt Singh. At the annexation of the Punjab it fell into the ands of John Lawrence and was sent to Queen Victoria by Lord Dalhousie. Legend gives the great diamond the power of 'bringing good luck to any woman who wears It, but men are said always to suffer misfortune when It is in their possession. Another tradition says that "who holds the Koh-l-nur holds India." The remainder of the queen's crown Is composed of a cap of violet velvet with an ermine edge, around which is a circlet of diamonds. dreadnoughts, and a corresponding number or smaller units in the Black sea, and a further appropriation was voted for the completion of the four battleships of the Oangut type, whose construction In the Baltic was commenced by the government In defiance of the Duma's refusal of funds. The record of the Duma for the session Includes a bill for the reform of village self-government on a more democratic basis, for the reform of primary schools, admitting. In this connection, instruction In the mother tongue, and a bill for com batting drunkeness, the adoption of which was-urged by a large anti-alcoholic group of deputies, headed by Deputy Tchelysheff of Samara. Women suffrage was admitted tn the provisions ef the village self-government bill, another measure adopted gives women equal lights of succession, and a later measure, just Introduced by the min ister of justice, alma at a reform of the antiquated passport system, which at pres ent deprives women, barring special cases and extraordinary formalities, of the right of residing apart from their husbands. With the elections only a year and a half away, the concluding fifth session of the Duma promises little more than the adop tion of nationalistic blila relating to Fin land and Kholm, and the progress In the disposition of other legislation of a purely technical nature with which the Duma is WOMEN MEMBERS ABE. INTERESTED Watch Discussion in House of Lords, Fearing a Time-Honored Cus tom May Be Ended. FEAR RISE OF COMMON PEOPLE May Be Forced to Associate with the Wives of Tradesmen. DEATHS FROM STARVATION Lack of Food is Discovered in Por tions of the Kingdom. BRUTALITY OF ENGLISH POLICE Offlrers Attack nml Commit Acts of Violent t'pon Respectable Women In the Streets of the Bnallxh CJtles. BY PAl'L LAMBETH. LONDON, June 17. (Special to The Bee.) The women members of the nobility are taking a deep Interest In the discussion over the House of Lords, many being fear ful lest the anelent and useless concern be wiped nut. A pirn r.rf l influence working hard at present In the direction of indnclr.g the House of Lords to pass the parliament b;ll is that of the peeresses. At an at home held one afternoon last wt4k at the residence of a duchess a little miw meeting was held in one of the corners of the drawlnrt rooms by wives of peers. One of the most eloquent of them Impressed on the others the neces sity of doing all they could to persuade their husbands "to protect their order.' "The Idea." she sold, "that we should have to associate In future with wives of common tradesmen Is too horrible to con template." In the end all those present endorsed the views of their sister peeress and pledged themselves to work hard to get their husbands to pass the bill without the necessity for any new creations. Death From Starvation. One of the most pitiful retusns ever Issued by the local government board Is that which shows that 119 deaths occurred In England and Wales In 1909 from starva tion. Fifty-four cases occurred In the country of London and sixty-five In the provinces. In several cases death was ascribed to starvation In conjunction with some other eause disease, exposure. Im proper feeding or self-neglect. For the most part the deaths appear to have been due to disease consequent upon or ac celerated by want or exposure, or both. English Police Brutality. Apropos of the growing lawlessness of English policemen, Maude R. Groocock, a school teacher ot Darn by, made a serious complaint against a member of the Notts constabulary force. -In court Miss Groo-. ' cock said that on the evening of April 19 her sweetheart visited her at her father' house and left at 10:15 p. m. She went on the road with him toward Newark, and was returning when she. met the defendant.' He asked, "Where are you going?'" Wit ness replied, "Home." He said, "Are' you aware that It is my duty to see home or take to the police station all young' ladles out after 9 o'clock?" The young woman replied In the negative. Defendant put his arm around her and struck a match, re marking, "I see you are Miss Groocock." Defendant put his face close to hers and the witness eventually struggled free. De fendant went with witness toward the farm and when they reached the yeomanry field she asked him to leave her, as she preferred going through the wood, alone. The constable said that he could show her In black and white that it was his duty to see her home. He frequently put his arm around her and she struggled free. When In the drive the defendant tripped her up. She struggled and screamed and ran toward the road. She gained the high road again, pursued by the policeman. He was let off with a fine of $2 and a mild rebuke. VISITORS' CAMPS FOR DURBARS Charges Per Day Range from Ten to Forty Dollars, According to the Accommodations. SIMLA, June 17. ( Special to The Bee.) There will be four camps at Delhi for the durbar, with accommodation for 400 visi tors. The charges will be 110.50 and 122.50 a day for accommodation In tents, and 130 and $40 In buildings. The minimum period for which accom modation can be reserved will be twenty days, and the registration fee, which Is one-third of the total liability, must be paid before August 1. The charges cover board. lodging, lights, firing and water. European servants will be accommodated at a charge of from K.r to 110 daily, and two native servants will be allowed free Spaces with lights and water will be pro vided on which visitors can pitch their own tents and make their own arrange ments, on payment of a small fee. overburdened. The hopes of notable, con structive work to embody in laws the principles enunciated in the October mani festo have now been abandoned by all. The friction between habitual administra tive methods and the prospective require ments of such legislation suffice to deter the Russian administration from conte nandng these reforms, while the Duma has no power to enforce any policy which is not acceptable to the government The Octoberlst party, whose mild liber alism gained for It the sympathies of the electors In 1907, must depend entirely on official approval for the success of the majority of Its candidates at the next elec tions, because of the poverty of its legis lative record.' Indications are that a most energetic effort will be made to obtain a fourth Duma In which a working majority of nationalists will give the government a legislature which will cause it less concern than even the present one. The appointment of Senator Sabler, ex vice procurator of the Holy Synod under Pobedonostseff, to the post of procurator, makes the fifth change in that post In as many year. Changes in the portfolios of marine, commerce and education have been as frequent, and of the original Stolypin cabinet of 190s, the prime minister and the minister of finance, Kokovtsoff, are the only members still in office.

He continues every day from lis the morning until 1 in the afternoon his round of audiences not only of the official audiences with the members and officials of the sacred congregations and the bishops from all parts of the world, but of general audiences which might easily be dispensed with were there any real need. He still continues to j;l!e the earliest in the Vat ican, even when, as on other mornings, when he says the mass later than usual in order to grant some of the faithful the privilege of assisting at it. It has been noticed that the holy father Is not so light and active In his movements as he used to be, but that Is not very surorlslnr when It Is remembered that his 77th year has just passed.

Priest Sues Preacher. Father Carlo Brlcarelll Is suing Gustave Verdesi, the ex-priest, who recently, after abandoning the Catholic church and Joining the Methodist, claimed . that the plaintiff divulged secrets which he told his In the confessional and that consequently several priests were transferred by their superiors.

Father Brlcarelll saw he was advised by the Pope In all he had done and further that he had not mentioned names to him.

A magnificent reproduction nf r?m. galley Is the central attraction of the amuse ment section of the exhibition. Plans for the vessel were carefully prepared from historical manuscripts, and the result goes far to show that the modern floating pal aces are not much more splendid than were the pleasure boats of the early Roman em perors. The vessel Is 320 feet long, eighty feet broad and the main deck is forty feet above water line. The prow and poop are sur mounted with statues, and there are three docks Intercommunicating by staircases adorned by statuary. On the lower decks are held such sports as roller skating, Greek and Roman dances, and the "poses Plustlques." Here also Is situated the magnificent gladiator's ring, reproduced on historical lines.

BT MALCOLM CLARKB. BERLIN, June 17. (Special to The Bee.) Many landlords ot dwelling houses and flats here have placed the ban on children and refuse to accept as tenants people who have children. They seem to have entered Into an agreement here and in many other cities and towns. It has be come a public scandal, household owners refuse to let married couples having chil dren and the authorities fear that this policy will have a bad effect upon the birth rate. Pet dogs, cats and birds are seldom refused, but babies are regarded as outside the pale. The emperor is said to have decided to take a hand in the crusade and stop the blacklisting of little ones. Kaiser's "Lsctj"' Ring. The kaiser generally wears a ring which in more superstitious times was firmly believed to have supernatural power to protect its wearer from harm of any kind. This Hohenzollern talisman, as It has been called. Is of massive gold, in which Is Bet a square, dark-colored stone. Its history goes back to the time when the margrafs of Nuremberg followed their leaders to the capture of the holy Sepulchre from tho Moslems. The ring,' which was taken from a Moslem during a fight under the walls of Jerusalem, eventually reached the handa of the Margraf Ulrlch, and from him it descended through generation after generation of his successors until it came to the kaiser. When It was first won it had engraved on the stone a sentence from the koran. This was cut out later and replaced by a cross. Another Seagoing Airship. In spite of the disastrous outcome of the recent attempt to cross the Atlantio by airship another, effort to accomplish this feat la to be made. This time Oermans, instead of Americans, will make the at tempt. Messrs.

It will have eight motors, the aggregate en ergy of which will represent 1.0U0 horse power. Dock to the Land. Fifteen years ago the empire faced the problem of rural depopulation. While the population of towns of over 2,000 Inhab itants Increased by 20,000,000 between 1ST1 and 1905, the population of small country towns had fallen from 26,200,000 to 25,800,000. The people settled the problem by desert ing the country for the towns. To coun teract this the government set to work to extend peasant proprietary, particularly In er stern Germany, where large estates were most numerous. As a result the population of those districts Increased. The following figures Illustrate the process: Inhabitants Inhabitants before after settlement, settlement.
