THE CORONATION.
The solemn ceremony of the coronation Of
| Alexander I'LL, car of all the Russas, took
place Sunday amid scenes of unbOunded en-
thusiasm. Despite the threatening weather
and streets muddy from the rains of Satur-
day, the streets were crowded as early as
7O'cl0ck, when the booming cannon at the
Kremlin gave the signal for the opening of
the court and other officials assembled in
the cathedral and were quickly followed by
@ large representation of distinguished per-
s0nages from all parts of the empire and
from all the principal nations of the world.
The czarowitz and grand dukes came next
pense and eager expectation, and when ev-
erything had been with military precision
got into perfect readiness, the car and
cZarina entered the cathedral, walking I'M
der canopy to the dais. The emperor wore
generals uniform and the order of st.
Andrew. He looked calm and self-possess-
ed. The empress wore silver brocade robe,
bordered with ermine. After the process
sion had filed through the cathedral and all
had taken the places assigned to them, the
coronation services began. The car was
sprinkled with holy water, and recited the
Nicene creed, and having had the imperial
mantle placed upon his shoulders asked for
the imperial crown, which he placed upon
his head himself. Further religious cere-
monies followed, after which the car call
ed the empress to him. She knelt before
him, and he placed a crown upon her head.
A moment afterward the roar of cannon
and the changing of bells announced the
conclusion OF the ceremony. The crowds In
the streets cheered wildly and as the imper-
ial party left the cathedral the scene was one
Of much enthusiasm. The military kept the
crowds, however, at respectful distance
from the procession, and never for mo-
keeping the masses rigidly at a distance
from the emperor. The imperial party par
took Of a grand banquet at the Granswitaja.
Congratulations are pouring In on the en-
peror and empress from all sides.
