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.

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

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. .

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.

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

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

numbers pt the other stones.'
Some of these are of great hlstorio In

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.

or smaller units in the Black sea, and a
further appropriation was voted for the
completion of the four battleships of the

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

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.

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. SI mens and Schuckert, the
greatest electrical workers and engineers la
Germany, are now engaged in construct
ing the airship, which ia to be 200 yards
long, 20 yards in diameter and capable of
carrying fifty passengers and crew. 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.

- Kaiser Helps a Corporal.
A pretty story is In circulation here about
the kaiser having helped a young soldier
to wed the girl to whom he was devoted.
One day when out walking he was recog
nized by a corporal, who saluted him. The
emperor noticed that the man looked wor
ried, and asked him the reason. The cor
poral hesitated and then 'said he was In
love with the daughter of his sergeant, but
could not marry the girl, as her father
would have no one of less rank than a
sergeant for a son-ln-law. "Very well.
,then," said William, "tell your sergeant
major that the emperor has made you a
sergeant."
Men In official circles are much Inter
ested in the question of the adoption of on
language by the great nations as a medium
for commercial and International relations.
There Is every probability that a confer
ence will be arranged to consider the mat
ter. It ,1s the Idea of those Interested than one
lsnguage should be chosen as the Inter
national medium and that It should then
be made a compulsory subject in the schools
of the nations which consented to the use
of It.
Buttons Too Expensive.
Like most German girls, the Princess
Louise is an excellent cook, having re
ceived a thorough training In the Imperial
kitchens. She paints and does needlework,
tnough she haa never given much attention
to matters of dress. Once, it is true, she
set her heart upon a wonderful set of but
tons. Obtaining thein, however, was out
of the question unless the emperor's consent
was given. So when a favorable oppor
tunity came the princess broached the sub
ject. "Certainly not," exclaimed the
sovereign. "A thaler each for buttons!
Why, It is throwing money away when
hooks and eyes, can be purchased at 1
penny a card!"
Her I.lttle Ambition. '
The princehs' tea table talk used to be
famous. Once she discussed her "ambitions.
Having decided her brothers' careers, she
came out with her own desires. "I'm
going to be an empress," she said. This
pronouncement was too much for her broth
ers. "You'll be lucky if ever you become
an empress." remarked one. "It Isn't at
all likely," announced still another. "Why
not?" asked Doulse. "Mamma is an em
press. I want to be what mamma Is."
"Oh." was the chorus; "but mamma Is
different." Such Is the tribute her children
pay to the first lady tn this land.
Jn her childhood Louise had the reputa
tion of not only governing her brothers, but
also the emperor himself. In those days
her pranks were the property of the Fath
erland, and everybody laughed from the)
