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.

The race certainly was fairer thair is

beautifully chosen roads, pausing through
only , three smsll villages. No stop wss
allowed, however, the circuit being too
small about fifty miles. Six times around
was needed to cover the SIS miles.
"Neither the winner, M. Jarrot, nor t
could attain our topmost speed. Personally
I wss frequently held back by being un
able to pass some competitor on account of
the narrowness of tha rn.d. There were

ROME, Aug. J. (New York World Cable

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

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.

The French people are deeply grieved at
the decision and the last reason makes

It a wicked Insinuation.

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

out of Mrs. Psget's Ascot party.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Aug. I. The pul
pit, the press, the bar and politics were
represented today about the luncheon board
of President Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill.
Senator Millard ot Nebraska, accompanied
by a friend of his own state,, came down
from New York to talk to Mr. Roosevelt
about his western trip and to make some
arrangements for his visit to Nebraska.
The president will be in Nebraska on
dates already tentatively determined, al
though not formally announced. His visit
to Nebraska will be In the closing days of
September.
Senator Millard presented to the presi
dent John L. Webster, who wii one ot the
candldatea for the seat In the senate oc
cupied by Mr. Millard's colleague, Senator
Dietrich, and asked that he be appointed to
some good place. The president promised
to take the matter under consideration.
Among the guests at luncheon were Silas
McBee of New York, editor ot the Church
men, Bishop Dudley of the Episcopal
church, diocese of Kentucky; Charles
Nagel of 8t. Louis, George Harvey, editor
of Harper's Weekly: George W. HInman,
of Chicago, editor of the Inter Ocean, and
Edward Kent ot New York. Assurance Is
given that no particular significance at
taches to the calls of any ot the gentle
men, the dfalre ot the president being to
entertain them socially at. his country
home.
President Roosevelt Is in receipt of scores
of communications by wire and by mall re

Presldeat Receives Others.
During the day President Roosevelt re-'
celved a call from Commandants Snytnan
and Relts, two prominent Boer officers, who
have ' been prisoners . In Bermuda. They
passed a pleasant hour about ths Sagamore
Hill Orounds. ...
Mr. HInman was the last ot tha preet
dent's luncheon guests to leave. He had a
long talk with the president . about the
political situation In the United States. Hs
told Frestdent Roosevelt that barring un
foraeen contingencies Illinois In 1904 would
send to the republican national convention
a solid delegation to support his candidacy
for president.
Wilbur F. Wakeman of New York, sec
retary of the American Protective Tariff
league, and formerly appraiser of tbe port
of New York, called on the president dur
Ing the afternoon to explain to him the
work of the league toward the election
ot republican representatives. He pre
sented to Mr. Roosevelt a prosperity cir
cular which was being spread broadcast
throughout tbe country. The president ex
pressed Interest and pleasure at the work
being accomplished by the league.
This evening Lieutenant General Nelson
A. Miles, commanding the army, arrived In
Oyster Bay on a visit to Colgate Hoyt and
family for several days.
The assurance from Waablngton that Pres
ident Roosevelt will without fall be In
Omaha ,10 September was received hers with
ths keenest satisfaction. 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. The Ak-Sar-Ben data. October
2, has been given to Springfield, III., where
the president Is to participate In the cele
bration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the organization of the .Illinois state fair.
Tha aucceedlng day he will spend In Chi
cago, while his St. Louis visit will probably
be "before bis Springfield visit, ss tbe ob
jective point ot his western trip Is San
Antonio. Texas.

Omaha wa In the grasp of a severe
electrical storm last night, which began
soon after 10 o'clock. Early In the even
ing dark clouds gathered in the west and
by 9:30 peals of thunder were heard at
short Intervale and within half an hour
lightning flashes accompanied the thunder,
which Increased in volume until a heavy
rain began about 10:30.
So intense was the storm that electric
lights in streets and buildings were ex
tinguished, street car were (topped and
fire engines started.
As Is generally the case in Omaha Sat
urday night found the atreeta literally lined
on both sides with people snd vast crowds
were caught, many unprepared, by the
storm. There waa some lively skirmishing
for shelter when the thunder and lightning
had rent the heavens so badly as to open
the rain window. With the water falling
in sheets and the cars standing atlll for
an hour, atorea and corridors were Im
preseed into service as places of refuge.
Strikes Flastpolo oa Mill.
Several reports of buildings being struck
by lightning were made during the storm,
the most serious being that of the Omaha
Milling company at Sixteenth and Charles
streets. Lightning struck the flagpole on
the roof, ran down through the building
and started fires on the roof, the second
floor and the basement, entailing a loss
on the building of about 1500. The stock,
vslued at $10,000, was soaked with water
and most of thia is ruined. The building,
a four-story brick, and machinery are val
ued at $35,000. The loss on the machinery
could not be estimated last night, though
it Is considerably damaged. The company
carried ii.OOO lu.uraacc cn ths st?c! e"1?
$17,600. on the building and machinery.
The fire was first discovered by J. B.
Gamble, who lives in that neighborhood
and who was awakened by the lightning.
He turned In the fire alarm, which wa
followed shortly after by a second.
When the department arrived the flames
were Issuing from the southeast and the
southwest corners of the roof and the fire
was burning in the second story and the
basement.' Smoke' completely- fills- the.
street, making It difficult to get air the
fire. Notwithstanding the heavy downpour
of rain and the dozen streams which were
playing on the fire, as fast as it was sub
dued In one place It broke out mora fiercely
in another. To make.lt mora difficult
for the firemen', by the aid of the building
and In the rear 1 a steep embankment,
which, made slippery by tbe rain, rendered
it almost Impossible to get to the building
from these sides. It took over two hours
of hard work to subdue the flames.
The first floor of the building contained
the Immense stock of flour and ths
second and third are filled with machinery.
The smoke and fire on the machinery floors
forced several firemen who entered th
building upon their arrival to leave, and
the fighting bad to be done entirely from
the outside. The basement ot the building
Is used as an engine room. Only small
damage wa done in these.
Horse Add to Excitement.
To add to the excitement occasioned by
the fire, a horse hitched to a buggy and
