Moscow, May 2S.-Before their Maias-
Ties lett the palace the route to the cathe-
dral was sprinkled with holy water. A
heavy rain fell before their Maiesties
started, but just as they took their places
under the canopy the sun shone brilliantly.
In the cathedral it was noticed that when
the Gar knelt at one altar to utter a
prayer OF lntercessiOn his eyes filled with
tears, and he sObbed audibly as he read.
In making the profession of faith tho
var voice was grandly resonant. The
Metropolitan of NovgorOd almost broke
Gown ON delivering his allocution.
Mounted Cossacks patrOlled every street.
Inc troops lining the route of the process
sion remained bareheaded the whole morn
ing those who were unable to obtain
admission to the Kremlin remain
ed outside on their knees close
TO the walls during the best part
oil the day praying for the Car. A
correspondent who has witnessed the
greatest pageants of the last thirty-ive
years, says that the spectacle eliminating
in the advent of their Maiesties crowned
and robed was the most imposing and
splendid that he has ever beheId. The
manifesto announces the continuance of
the present state of affairs in Russia. the
conditional pardon of Poles, the remission
OF penalties for nOn-pOliticaI offenses. and
other matters as previously referred to i'm
these dispatches.
An imperial rescript, issued to-day. re-
turns the thanks of the Gar to the Grand
Duke Michael for his services. and an
nOunces his appointment as a member of
the Committee of Ministers. The rescrint
also says that the Grand Duke Alexis has
been appointed Admiral-in-Chief of the
Russian Navy, and that His Majesty has
made the following awards of the Order
of St. Andrew: To Count Tolstoi. Minister
OF the Interior; Gen. Milertin, former
ly secretary of War; Count Valuieff:
Gen. TOdelben, Gen. Count Adlerberg and

lontztf; General WOrOntcpf Dachktf and
Prince DOnd0ukof KOrrstoff; and the

There was heavy fall of rain late last
night, which interfered with the illumina-
ton in honor of the coronation
MOnslgnOr Nannutelli, special nunciO
of the Papal Court to the coronation, ar
rived here last evening. The Car will
receive him to-day. His arrival was
specially timed, according to precedent,
in order that he might avoid being pres
ent at the religious ceremony during the
coronation.
At 10 O'Clock this morning the Emperor
and Empress, seated on thrones in St.
Andrews Hall, began to receive con-
gratulatiOns. The reception of the clergy
lasted until noon, after which diplomats.
dignitaries, Generals and provincial dele
gates, the latter bringing gifts of native
jewelry, were received.
The cost of the coronation is estimated
at f2,OOO,O0O, which will be covered by an
issue of treasury bills.
Only thirteen newspaper correspondents
were allowed inside the cathedral during
the ceremony. Six were Russians and
seven were foreign, the latter including
one English and one American CORE
spOndent.
An academy professor and twelve Rus
sian artists have been appointed to make
a complete album of the events of the
coronation. The Kremlin square was so
densely packed that it would have been
impossible for any miScreant to have eX-
tricated his arms, should he have intend
ed to use them against the Car. The
Cars crown dates from the period of the
Emperor Paul l., and is valued at 3,000,-
600 rOubles.
The Emperor drove through the streets
last evening, without an escort, to view
the illumination.
The enthusiasm of the people over the
success of the coronation ceremonies is
unabated, and crowds are constantly as
Semblng under the windows of the Krem-
lin and cheering heartily fol the Gar.
The Gar and CZarina received the
Khan of Khiva and heir apparent of Bob
kara in a special audience to-day. The
heads of all the foreign States have tele-
graphed their cOngratulatiOn to the Gar.
The telegram of the Emperor William of
Germany is long and very cordial. The
Court ball this evening was splendid be-
vOnd comparison. The Car and CZarina
participated in the pOlOnaise.
The imperial crowns and mantles and
the EmperOr's presents were on view in
the large salon of the hall.
BERLIN, May 2S.-The Russian stan
dard was hOisted on the Embassy yester-
day. A solemn te deum was sung in the
Embassy Church, at which all the diplO-
matte representatives and Prussian Gen
erals and officials were present. The En-
peror, who was slightly indispOsed, and
the Crown Prince were represented by
their personal Adjutants General.
The Official Gazette says: Germany
has special reasons for taking a sympa-
thetic interest in the coronation of the
Gar. Family connection and common
interest in peace combine to make Ger
many wish for the successful reign of the
Gar"
The N0Td DeutSche ZeituRg prays that
the coronation may be the starting point
of a new era of happiness and peace.
LONDON, May 2S.-The Times CORE
spOndent, who was the only English news
paper representative in the Cathedral,
says: 1.-The ceremony was grand and inn
posing. Ny pen can give only dim and
imperfect impression of the event. The
ilIuminatiOns were magnificent. The city
