LONDON, July 89. The Iatet and most
reliable Information indicate that King
Edward's doctor , were not mistaken in
fixing August as the date upon which
til majesty could be crowned.'
The sinister rumor which have per
vaded all claates for the last few day
bow appear to have tost that semblance
of probability which made even the mem
ber of the cabinet nervoua lest another
postponement of the coronation might be
necessitated. ' '
The apprehension that King Edward
"would be unable to stand the strain of
the coronation ceremony has been greatly
lessened by the announcement that hi
majesty Is now permitted to us hi feet
and with the aid of a stick ha done
little walking. Another late telegram from
Cowes, saying that nearly all the restric
tions upon the kind's diet have been with
drawn, ha been welcomed u evidence that
the late omlnou conclusions were drawn
Without considering the doctors' conclusions.
King Edward sat smoking on the deck
of the royal yacht and watched the race
f the email yachta off Cowe.
Those who drew inference from the
fact that the invitation to Westminster
abbey were not dated have had their fears
dissipated by the proclamation published
In the Oasett tonight axing August 8 as
the data for the coronation, which I al
together of more Importance than what
might have or might not have appeared
en the cart of Invitation.
The king and Queen Alexandra will leave
Buckingham palace on August IS for the
royal yacht, where the fleet will paa In
lew.
On hi return to the royal yacht the
king la expected to ' take sin extended
crulae to the northward and to spend
several week at Balmoral, where prepara
tions for the arrival of their majesties
have already been commenced.
Sir Joseph C. Plmsdale, the lord mayor
of London, expect the king to visit the
aity of London the week ending October
It, when a great luncheon will be held
In the Guild hall, which 1 to be followed
by a royal procession through the south
of London.1
All these plan way not be carried out
to the letter, ut their arrangement, eom-

king's bhyslclans. Is generally taken aa In
miring, so far as human foresight eaa be

The leaders of the . h still talk of

seems to be out of the movement, so far

have determined upon counter demontra

COMBINE THE OIL INTERESTS
London Dally Mall Asserts the Three
Monster Companies Have Made
i an Agreement.
LONDON, July SO. In It Issue of this
morning the Dally Mall assert there 1
no longer any doubt that the three monster
oil interests of Rockefeller, Rothschild and
Nobel have entered Into a working agree
ment. "Thus," say the paper, "without any pub
licity the greatest trust the world ha
ever seen has sprung Into being."
This combination, says the paper, has
been hinted at In messages from Batoum
and Moecow and it has been more clearly
shown In the offers made to Russian oil
exporters by representatives of the Nobel
and Rothschild Interests for the absorp
tion of the whole of their output. The
exporters have been forbidden to sell
through the agencies of these Interests at
a price arranged by them or to fight the
combined forces of the three oil giants.
This offer was made openly and with the
idea of maintaining prices and It has been
refused, the Russian exporters preferring
to fight. It was doubtless this combine,
continue the Dally Mall, which Induced
the Russian government to issue Invita
tion to an anti-trust conference. Spokes
men of the anti-trust combine declare It
mean a- fight to the death and that the
Independent exporters cannot hope to win.

Faces of Fire Fighters.
PITTSBURG HAS EARLY MORNING BLAZE
Fire Finally Broaght I'nder Control
and Loss Will Not Exceed a;ioo,
OOO, While None of the Flre
' men Are Fatally Injhred.
PITTSBURG, Pa., July 29. Six firemen In
jured, two eight-story buildings almoat com
pletely destroyed, a number of others
slightly damaged and a property loss esti
mated at $300,000 is the result of a fire on
Liberty street, which raged fiercely ,for
seven hours. The injured were:
William Dalzell, painfully burned about
face and hands.'
William Reese, painfully burned about the
face and hands.
Lieutenant D. Leech, hands burned and
balr singed.
C. Buckley, burned and cut about the
head.
Daniel Gallagher, cut about head and
hands.
Joseph Grim, foot cut by ax.
About 1:30 o'clock thla morning flames
were discovered Issuing from the building
at 919 Liberty street, occupied by the De-
Noon Bros.' Paint and Varnish company.
Owing to the combustible nature of the
stock the fire spread rapidly and soon the
adjoining building, occupied by Stewart
Bros., dealers In rubber goods, was alao in
flames.
As the fire spread there were frequent ex
plosion and about o'clock, when the
flames appeared to be succumbing to the ef
forts of the firemen, there was an explosion
that shook the building and shot the flames
far out over Liberty street. Five firemen
were caught and badly burned about the
hands and soorched about the face. They
were at once taken to the Homeopathic
hospital and later removed to their homes.
Their Injuries are not regarded a serious.
Meanwhile the moke and ,edor from the
burning rubber, mixed with paints, oil and
benslne, nearly stifled the firemen and made
it almost impossible for them to get at the
blaie, but they worked heroically and about
8 o'clock this morning had the flame under
control. Both building were gutted and S.
Ewart'a wholesale grocery, adjoining on the
east, was badly damaged. Speer A Hollar's
furniture store, A. C. Ellis, hat dealer, and
J. J. Porter, millinery supplies, on Pennsyl
vania avenue, suffered considerably by
smoke and water.
The origin of the fire has not been de
termined. The loss is about two-thirds cov
ered by insurance.
A revised estimate of losses tonight
places the total at 1818,600, distributed as
follows:
Stewart Bros., $176,000; Denoon Bros.,
$102,000; King estate, which own the
buildings, $16,000; Ewart A Sons, adjoin
ing the Denoon Bros., $10,000; Ktrkpat
rick Y Co., $8,000; William T. Shannon at
Sons, $2,600; Graff t Co., adjoining Stewart
Bros., $2,600; Standard Manufacturing com
pany, $2,600; A. C. Ellis Ac Co., $1,000;
Speer A Hollar. $1,000; J. K. Porter, $1,000.
The origin of the fire 1 still a mystery.
STORM PROVES DESTRUCTIVE
Dnmago Wrought by Hall nnd Wind
In North Dakota Reaches
Into Thousands.
GRAND FORKS, N. D,, July 29. Late re
ports show that the wind and hailstorm of
yesterday in the northwestern part of the
state was probably the most wldestxead
and destructive of any that ha over visited
the state.
Damage was done in Pembina, Walsh,
Grand Forks, Ramsey, Trail, Nelson and
Cavalier counties, the losses being ao num
erous and ao widespread that It Is as yet
impossible to give an accurate estimate of
the damage. Damage by wind and lightning
is considerable. The aection which appears
to have suffered most 1 that In a belt
crossing the Great Northern line near
Michigan City. Along the railroad from a
few mile eaat of Niagara to west of Mape
the crop are literally pounded 'into the
ground. This hail belt Is fully ten mile
wide and reached from north of Devils lake
well Into Grand Fork county, through one
of the beat farming regions of the state.
LARIMORB, N. D.. July 29. Latest re
ports from the district visited by yettter
day 'a hailstorm estimate that 40,000 acres
of wheat are almost a total loss, while
much more will show a loss of from one
quarter to one-half.

CHAMBERLAIN IN THE MUSE
First Appearance of Colonial locTstarj
Binoe His Accident
TALKS OF AFFAIRS IN SOUTH AFRICA
ays Government Will Carry Out All
Promises Made to the Boers,
but Will Take Its Time
In Doing So. I
LONDON. July 29. Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain appeared In the House of
Commons thla afternoon for the first time
since hla recent accident.
He wa greeted with hearty- cheering and
later he was wermly congratulated by Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman, liberal leader
In the house. . 1
Mr. Chamberlain's sppearance In the
House of Commons today was marked by
speech which won tbe applause
even ot such opponents as Henry La-
boucher. Mr. Chamberlain dealt com
prehensively with the past and future of
South Africa. "We have no Intention," he
declared, "that the Boers should break
with their old traditions. We desire that
they should preserve all the characteristic
of their race and hope they will shake
banda with us, thus securing prosperity
In South Africa under the flag which pro
tects different races and dlffeernt re
ligions." That sentiment wa tbe keynote of the
speech.
Dealing with the much discussed labor
question, Mr. Chamberlain said he believed
every Inducement to labor should be held
out to the blacks, but no scheme of com
pulsory labor would receive the slightest
government support. . There is no inten
tion of packing the country with Brit
ishers, but so much Transvaal land was
lying Idle that the colonte could only
be made a great corn producing factor by
bringing In British settlers.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman supple
mented his Congratulation by asking for
Information of the colonial conference.
He expressed the hope that lenient treat
ment would be extended to the Boer In
South Africa. Mr. Chamberlain replied that
the1 one spirit animating the members of
the conference was the desire to draw
closer together the constituent parts of
the empire, and hs thought It safe to say
that the conference bad made Important
progress toward a perfect union, to which
he himself looked forward.
Regarding South Africa, Lord Mllner, the
high commissioner, had telegraphed spon
taneously that he did not think further
legislation necessary to make the banish
ment proclamation effective. The gov
ernment, however, reserved to Itself the
important right In the new colonies to
refuse to allow the return or to keep watch
over persons who showed themselves Inimi
cal to good order and peace. "We are not
going to allow ths result of ths war to be
undermined," said Mr, . Chamberlain, "by
Intrigues carried on by nominal constitu
tional mean."
Status of South Africa.
Regarding ths future status of South
Africa th colonial secretary said the im
perial government had established a crown
colony in ths strictest sense. .The next step
would be to add a Dominated official ele
ment. Thereafter there would be an elected
official element. Nothing but circumstances
and time would separate the new colonics
from self-government, the ultimate goal of
their ambition. That consummation would
.not be delayed, If for no other reason, be
cause It might relieve the government of
the tremendous burden ofresponsib!llty In
volved In the present situation, but all must
understand that the government would not
be rushed or pushed into any action which
circumstances did not warrant.
The speaker said he was one of those op
timistic enough to believe that the new
colonies would reach the ultimate goal of
their ambition much sooner than many per
son now thought possible. So far aa the
government was concerned, the surrender
promises would be kept in spirit as well as
In letter. The government, he said, was
bound, both by honor and interest, to this
course.
There remained many question to be
dealt with; a new tariff must be arranged,
Involving Intricate question concerning
which exports must be consulted, and the
taxation of mine must be settled, but he
wished to say nothing would be done to
punish owner of mine, aa had been sug
gested In tnany quarters. The government
would do nothing to interfere with a quick
revival of development of ths country.
Subject to that consideration, Mr. Cham
berlaln continued, no man waa more anx
lou than he to recover some considerable
part of the cost of the war from South
Africa. -He thought It would be perfectly
fair to lay a fair part of tbe cost ot the
war on the principal industries of the
Transvaal, but what amount It was too
so6n to say.
Mr. Chamberlain's speech evoked crit
icism of tbe financial features of tha policy
outlined for South Africa from Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, James Bryce and others,
Mr. Byrce said he hoped the national scout
would not be used as police, but Mr. Cham
berlain said he could not see why they
should not be so employed, as he believed
they would make admirable civil guards.
Mr. Chamberlain also said he hoped the
royal Judicial commission going out to
South Africa would exercise tbe king's
clemency in view ot tbe large number of
sentence Imposed during tbe war.
BOTHA GIVES GOOD ADVICE

BERLIN. July ' 29. Ths mrriit f
Privy Councilor Loehnig to the daughter
oi a former sergeant In the German armv
has caused Herr Loehnig' retirement from
tne chief directorship of taxes for ths
province of Posen.
Herr Loehnig. who wa also flnsnce
councilor and who was a man of wealth.
has been circulating a pamphlet among hi
friend explaining his acceptance of a pen
sion July 1, at the Instance of Herr von
Rhelraban, the Prussian minister of
finance. The publication of this Damnhlet
in today' papers has caused considerable
comment, both socially and politically, be
cause Herr Loehnig, as a high official, has
had knowledge of the Prussian administra
tion of Posen and disapproved of several
features of the ministry's Polish policy. '
in this policy Herr Loehnig relates thst
after an Interchange of communications
between Berlin and the highest admlnls- :
trattve officials of the province of Posen
the Ober president of Posen told blm hs
bad nothing to say against his flsnce, but
that It was impossible for him to consent
to the marriage of one of the highest offi
cials of the province with a daughter of
an ex-sergeant, that it was as though the
colonel of a regiment proposed to do such
a thing. A ministerial councilor or a su
perior government councilor might pos
sibly marry a sergeant's daughter, but a
privy and finance ' councilor could not.
The Ober president said also that ths
commanding general and the police presi
dent shared his views on the matter.
Father of the Bride.

a secretary in one of the government's of
fices at Posen. Some weeks after his mar-
vn am ti An.n.a mlnl.tpv a T4.1Im ..1,a4
Herr Loehnig to retire, which he did. Herr
Loehnig affirms thst his opinion in the
matter of the ministry' Polish policy had
nothing to do with his retirement from
office, but notwithstanding this It 1 be
lieved the opinions did havs something to
ao wun tne councilor s retirement.
Herr Loehnig affirms that most of the
Prussian province-of Posen condemns ths
government poucy towarq tne poles, pros
ecution of Polish newspaper, and the sur
veillance of Polish societies. Herr Loeh
nig, although favoring measure to Ger
manize Poland, 1 of the opinion that this
should be carried out less ostentatiously.
The pamphelt la the subject of notice
able editorial articles In the liberal new-'
paper today, whioh predict attack on
the government in the Diet. The Voislchs
Zeltung says it Is Impossible to write about,
the matter coolly and that It read like
the time preceding the battle of Jena
when Prussian aristocracy reached ths acme
of class insolence.

of Consumption Will Be Ei
hausted In September.
PHILADELPHIA. July 29. It is stated
on reliable authority that the aupply of
anthracite coal in the bands' of railroad
and dealer here will, at tha present rate
of consumption, probably be exhausted by

that ot the Pennsylvania, ha any of ths
roads releassd the coal seised by them in
May, all of the other retaining what they
have for their own purposes.
In the caae of the Pennsylvania, that
road had no such need tor what little it
had retained, aa It could us its soft coal.
This was the reason It turned a quantity of
anthracite over to some ot Its trade the
last week.
