this dispatch.
The czar has addressed the following
rescript to Diegers, minister of foreign
affairs:
The great power and glory acquired by
Russia, thanks to Divine providence, the
extent of her empire and her numerous
population leave no room for any idea of
further conquests. My solicitude is ex-
clusively devoted to the peaceable devel-
opment of the country and its prosperity;
to the preservation of friendly relations
with foreign powers on a basis of existing
treaties and to the maintenance of the
empire. Having found in you constant.
Jealous and useful colaboreor for tn
promotion of these views in the
direction or our international relations, I
confer upon you my order of St. AIexan-
dria Newski in diamonds as testimony of
my gratitude.
Before their majesties left
the palace the route 20
the cathedral was sprinkled with hcIy
water. A heavy rain fell before their
majesties started but just as they took
their places under the canopy the sun
shone brilliantly. In the cathedral it WIS
noticed when the czar knelt alone to utter
prayer of intercession his eyes filed with
tears and he sobbed.
THE SPECTACLE.
Mounted Cossacks patrolled every
street, troops lining the route of the pro-
cession. The people remained bareheaded
the whole morning. Those unable to OBJ
tain admission to the Kremlin, remained
outside on their knees close to the walls
during the best part of the day, praying
for the czar. A correspondent who has
witnessed the greatest pageants IN the
last thlrty-tve years says, the spectacle
eliminating in the advent of their maies-
ties crowned and r0bed, was the most i'm
posing and splendid he ever beheld.
MISCELLANEOUS MENTION.
The cost of the coronation is estimated
at 100000 pounds, which will be covered
by issue of treasury bills.
Only thirteen newspaper correspondents
were allowed inside the cathedral during
the ceremony, six Russian and seven
foreign, the latter including one English
and one American correspondent

st. Petersburg: The coronation of the
Gear was celebrated by special services IN
all the churches to-day and by part of the
troops. The city is brilliantly illuminated
tonight, and the streets are thronged with
people. Perfect order prevailed.
BERLIN, May 27.-The Official Gazette
| says Germany has special reasons for tax
| ing sympathetic interest in the coronation
Of the czar. Family connection and COM
mon interests in peace combine to make
Germany wish for successful reign of
| the cZar.
The Nord Deutch Zeitung says the coron-
| alton may be the starting point on new
era of happiness and peace.
LONDON, May 27.-The Times cores
pondent, the only English newspaper rep
resentative in the cathedral, says the cere-
mony was grand and imposing. My pen
can give only slim and imperfect outline
of the event. Illuminations tonight are
magnificent. The city looks like a mass
of variegated fires. Audibly as he read,
in making profession of faith, the czar's
voice was grandly resonant the Metro
politan of Novogorod almost broke down
in delivering his allocution.
