ILLNESS HAS RECONCILED ROYAL PAIR ftaaea Constaatly with Her Haa hand and Tekea Peraoaal Char of Affairs on Yacht. CCopyrlght, 1902, by Press Publliihlng Co.) ... 1. tit ..-1.1 Cm- LONDON, AUg. J.-( " fclegram Special Telegram.) King Edward l Is firmly resolved to be crowneo. - i Brday even If he has to be borne up wesi- tnlnster Abbey In a litter. When he hesrd that the duke of Norfolk bad Issued new Invitations to the abbey undated the king was extremely annoyen three minutes, averaging about fifty-four audi sent a menage to the duke directing ,niiea an Bour. That was wonderful con that all preparations be completed imme- ,ueTDg ths dlfflcultlea. I am very proud dlately, as the ceremonial certainly would cf mjr own time six hours and twenty-two take place this time. The duke of Norfolk has been tn constant direct communication' with ths queen ana h officials of the royal yacht, ana 11 ne thnnrht It desirable to omit the date from ths Invitation cards it can be realised how ell founded Is ths public uncertainty. I The desire to get the coronation over i with has grown to be a perfect monomania wlth the royal Invalid. It la reiatea inai the other dsy his frl. nd. the Marquis oe Soveral, let fall an expression which Mmed to Imoly that the coronation date Is not absolutely certalp, whereupon me testing the best railway service by on king burst Into1 a rage that caused the doc- hour. An unexpected change In the chan ters no little alarm. Everyone about the Del steamer schedule caused a loss of flf- yacht humors him as if he were a chlia ana I always assumes that the coronation on srust 9 Is as good as accomplished. The kin himself is masing an dim en gagements for the fall on that basis. If anything should happen now to defer the crowning again the doctors say that they could not be' answerable for his life, that the king Is making good progress, but his attempts to walk at this stage oi convaies- i4niihtllv are rlskv. It is noi Be lieved that In any ease he can walk up the abbey with his heavy robes. An invaiia i chair will certainly be requisitioned for that purpose. Kins la Bpertltloo. Undoubtedly the king's anxiety to be crowned is largely due to superstition. He seems to havs been beset with evil omens before his breakdown. - The World ' correspondent learns 'that when the king arrived from Aldershot and Windsor castle the royal standard could ' hot be got above half mast. It stuck there and could not be hoisted. Finally ths Union Jack was hoisted In Its stead, which went up quite easily because the halyards ex actly fitted the blocks. Ths Incident hss been oppressing the king's mind evsr since, and his doctors ssy BO treatment can do any lasting good unless he gets the coronation off his mind. They proposed that he should be crownea pri vately, but the lord chancellor, the arch bishop of Canterbury and the law officers agreed after consultation that a private coronation would have no legal effect. Although there have been many callers at the royal yacht, the king saw nobody until within the last three days outside of the royal family and 8overal. The king of tha Belgians waa only received by the aueen. When on last Saturday it was nec essary for the privy council to assemble aboard the yacht to sign the coronation proclamation mo iwu psutin oircieu were his particular irienas, tns aux or Devonshire and Lord James, because the king was so afraid that comparative strang ers might talk about his appearance and helpless condition. Despite everything the doctors say, there la a rooted belief In court clroles that the king Is not through with his disease. It Is current talk In those quarters that per haps hs will be better able to stand ths - ceremony next Saturday than six months hence. Klaer aad Qaeon. Reconciled. There Is one point on which the World Correspondent has the most positive in formation, and that Is as to the complete . reconciliation between the king and the queen. It appears that wnen tns surgical operation was about to be performed the king bad a moat affecting In- tervtew with the queen and at his request be held his band when he was being put tinder tbe Influence of chloroform. In order to gratify his expressed wish that her face might be the last he saw It the operation proved fatal. When ha waa- recovering consciousness the queen waa again brought to his slds aad hs looked gratefully at her. Sines thsn the queen has taken entlro con trol of everything concerning him. But whether other Influences will re-assert themselves later on remains to be seen. London Is preparing for the coronation la a very half-hearted fashion. The faded decorations ars being put up again, but although the routo ot tbe procession is not two miles long, there is practically no de- tnand for seats. Five out of every six houses In the fashionable part of the West End are closed, altuough it la aald that tha I while as for ths projeoted tower. Its new cwners will return in large numbers. Peers I neas would howl against - the San Marco and peereses with town mansions are en- gaging rooms at ths leading hotels for Au gust and 9. There will be a general ex odus on the following Sunday. Half pay officers ars being offered Invitations to the abbey tn order to fill it up. The whole as pect of affairs presents a painful contrast to ths delirious excitement originally pre dicted for this great ceremonial.

A note of alarm has been sounded by D. C. Loogworth, editor of a "newspaper In Cslro.

(New York World Cable gram Special Telegram.) Cardinal Oottl's ultimate elevation to the papacy Is con sidered almost assured by the manifestation of confidence In him by selecting hint from among apparently more powerful rivals for the Influential office of prefect of the propa ganda in succession to Cardinal Ledo chowskl. Cardinal Orottl will be persona grata to the American hierarchy. Cardinal Ltdochowskl's sympathies were naturally with the Teutonic and Slav elements In the Catholic church and he never quite appre elated to the full the potency of the Ame -can factor. France Is much disturbed by the from Rome .that the sacred college of nala definitely refuses to canonize f Are. ' The decision, coming after several favor able opinions had been ' Issued and com mittees has been appointed to examine Into the heroine's claims to beatification, la construed as retaliation for the expulsion of the religious orders from Frsnce. The sacred college mentions five reasons to Justify refusal. First. That Joan of Are culpably at tacked Paris on a religious fete day while the city was celebrating the birth of the mother of Jesus. Second. Her capture disproved her claim of having a heaven-ordered mission. Third. Her attempted evasion shows thst martyrdom was suffered unwillingly. Fourth. That she lacked heroism when she signed an abjuration of alleged errors. iLiu. AvwiuiUR iu tier tiwu .uuimiuu, l Is doubtful whether she died a virgin. The French people are deeply grieved at the decision and the last reason makes even nonbellevers Indignant, as they regard It a wicked Insinuation.

Whenever shs Is seen at a party she always is surrounded by the "smart" men and women. Mrs. "Jack" Leslie, Lady Randolph Churchill's sister, has supplanted Mrs. Arthur Paget as the "bear leader" to the duke and duchess ot Connought, who, not having much social talent themselves, are always dependent on soms clever woman to arrange things for them. The falling out between Mrs. Paget and the Connaughts is much talked of. It seems to have grown out of Mrs. Psget's Ascot party. Mrs. Newiiouse goes now to Homberg with Mrs. Nat Goodwin (Maxlns Elliot), whose beauty fairly stunned the kaiser, while he was squally charmsd by her de licious voice and fascinating manner. Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin have Just returned from Parts, where they have been spending a fsw daya.

(Copyright. 1902, by Press Publishing. Co.) LONDON, Aug. 2. (New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) In the an nual report ot the Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals there Is an echo of Lord Shrewsbury's attempt to slur ths victory of the American polo team In the first gsms of the International series at Hurllngham by charging Lawrence Water bury with ualng spurs cruelly. The so clety wanted to proceed with ths prosecu tion of Waterbury after Shrewsbury was shamed Into dropping It; but found only one of Shrewsbury' witnesses, a woman. who was prepared to testify.

His Inability to com October 2, the date urged by the Ak- Bar-Ben, because that Is to be. the date of the principal electrical parade, may, how ever, necessitate some change in the car nival program. If the president comes the last week la September, which now Is hinted of as the probable time the parade dates will prob ably be moved forward ,a few days. If he should come after October 2 the parade would ba repeated. It is learned from Washington that ths full Itinerary will .not be given out until September, about ten days before the time set for his departure from there, the list being held open to change for possible eon' tlngencles.
