Michaelovna. In the fourth were the Prin-
cess Marie of Baden, Princess Eugene of
Oldenburg, and the Grand Duchess Helen of
Mecklenberg-S
the guards, ladies of honor in carriages, a
squadron of lancers of the guard the mayor
and deputations of tradesmen joined the pro-
cession at the old Triumphal Arch.
The marshals OF the nobility of Warsaw
and several other districts did homage to the
Emperor at Tsarskaa Place. The Civil
Governor of Moscow, the judges and other
city officers received the Emperor at the Gate
of the Resurrection, where his Imperial
Majesty, the Grand Dukes and the Empress,
alighted and knelt in prayer before the pic
ture of the Virgin.
The Archbishop of Warsaw received their
majesties at the steps of the Cathedral of the
Assumption with the cross and the holy
water. At this point the cheering of the
people was perfectly deafening The pro-
cession then entered the Kremlin.
The Emperor wore the uniform of a gen.
eral, and was mounted on splendid charger.
He rode little in advance of four generals,
who were directly attending him. He main
tanned a calm demeanor, although he often
smiled graciously in resp onse to the wild en-
thusiasm which greeted him at every point.
Cheer upon cheer followed each other inces-
sduIly from the denSely packed multitude
on the streets, and from thousands of
people in balconies and windows The EN-
press was greeted with every mark of enthu-
slasm and loyalty Her daughter the Grand
Duchess Xenie, threw kisses to the people.
The mounted Grand Dukes formed a very
brilliant group. The Asatic deputations
were also magnfcently attired. The state
carriages were spendidly decorated, and the
whole effect was most gorgeous. The entire
route was lined with troops
At the moment the cortege entered the
city salute of seventy-one guns was fired
from Tsarskaia Place. The Governor-general
received the Emperor at the city boundary
and joined the cortege with his suite.
The Emperor wore the broad blue ribbon
of the order of st. Andrew over his uniform.
The Empress and Grand Duchesses wore the
national Russian dresses
After entering the Kremlin the court Of
| ticials presented their Majesties with bread
and salt on plates of silver and gold. When
their Majesties retired the bells pealed and
a salute of one hundred and one guns was
fired.
The streets through which the procession
passed were badly paved. The Duke OF Ed
| lnburg rode in the rear and on the left OF
the Gar. The Duchess of Ednburg sat in
the second coach from that in which was the
Empress. In the Red Square 5000 school
children in white robes sang Life for the
Car" At this point the enthusiasm of the
multitude and playing of the bands produced
great effect. The general verdict is that the
pageant was a great success.
General Sturm, head master of ceremonies
was thrown from his horse and had his SIX ull
fractured.

liant with Flags and Flowers.
Moscow, May 22.-The opening ceremonies
of the coronation festivities took place to-
day The decorations of the streets and
houses were completed yesterday. Ever
skawa street is almost concealed by the
bunting which futters at every door and
coign of vantage. Kiosks have been con-
structed of Russian carved wood, in which
the city worthless or military bands will be
installed. Heraldic devices and coats-of-
arms have been invented for every province
of Asia. On all sides are pictures of the i'm
perial family, and words of salutation in let
ters of every size in Slav or Russian, encir-
Gle garlands surrounded by colored lamps
Eikons, or holy images, inclosed in side
chapels glowing with FURNISHED metal vie
with massive shields and rich Byzantine
portraits of former Cars carried aloft on
gigantic spears, from which float banners
Of many forms and shapes. A thousand
cupolas of the Russian churches rise in
flaming gold beads or silver r-spangled
blues, cruder green's, or studded with i'm
mense nail-heads of every color, lighted up
by brilliant sun and tempered by floating
clouds. In the foreground are dashing troikas
with silver-harnessed steeds open caeches
full of varied uniforms or curious Asiatic
costumes, less pretentious droskys with
quaint drivers, dashing recklessly by in every
direction, while the light is left; mujiks in
red shirts and boots; courers in green and
gold liveries, jostled by generals of the Cos
sack escort abaze with orders, or scowled at
by the officials, or hustled by the police SER
geants. The feverish hustle of excitement is
added to by passing cavalry or the band of
some tardy regiment. All the first hotels and
public edfices have special decorations. The
palace of the Governor of Moscow is covered
with garlands and sweet-fir leaves, festooned
from the windows to the ground. In the
center is monogram of the initials "a. NJ, p"
ten feet high in rose blossoms. Every detail
of door or window is picked out in colored
lamps, which at night will transform the
facade into bowers of brightness, while the
portico is a forest of fir-boushs and flowers.
Every shop is resplendent with huge gold
letters OIL a black ground the characters
being in Russo-Greek or antique Slav. These
add something cabalistc to the magic of the
whole, while the respiendent profusion of
the church porches and the fretwork of light
iron canopies over every hotel door vary the
outlines until the whole scene becomes a
marvel of novelty and varied attraction.

Count Woronzoff- Dachkoff, a personal
friend of the Emperor only NM. Giers, Toll
stol, and VannoffSki will remain in the cabi-
net. AS Minister for the Home Department
young general will probably be appointed,
to whom great administrative talent loyalty,
and energy are attributed. A parsonage of
frst-rate capacity in political economy, who
at one time held the portfolio of Finance,
will be nominated Minister OF Commerce.
Count Tolstol is designated for the Ministry
of Public Instruction or the presidency of
the Council. All rumors concerning the
granting of constitution in connection
with the coronation are without foundation.
In the first place. there is nobody about the
Car who would now undertake to make
such proposition, and then the repusnance
OF the National Party to any and every re-
striction of the Cars power is opposed to it.
Finally, the diversity of races, religions, and
Intellectual conditions in Russia would
make it next to impossible to warrant denti-
cal liberties to all the inhabitants of the vast
empire. Therefore, the manifesto promul-
gaied on the occasion of the coronation will
most probably only announce a radical sim
plihcation and reorganization of the admin
istraton, scheme for increasing the nations
wealth by regulating both the agrarian ques-
ton and the state of home industry-fnally,
the necessity of putting the finances in or
der, and of making the Russian budget inde-
dendent of foreign credit by increasing reye-
nue. and reducing expenses.

April 20, ostensibly to attend to some law busi-

father, Judge John NJ. Krum, with whom no had
a law partnership, that he very SICK in Chi
cagO, AMI last week he stated that his son was
at DR.. William A. HammOnd's, New York city,

latter's residence, and of his father at his
law office, but answers were refused. 1t
was further stated that Judge Krum since had
acknowledged to Sheriff Mason, whose legal ad-
wiser Judge Krnm, jr., is, that no one was cog

rumOrs that he has lost several thousand dollars
playing poker lately, but Of this there is no d-
rect evidence. Mr.. Krumis married and has
large family of children.

Here is jury chosen by American justice
to Judge a case involving governmental
questions, and costing in fees over half a
million dollars to try. Such juryl set
OF men whom you would hardly set to
managing saw-mill; certainly not if the
machinery was at all intricate. Coarse.
featured, low-browed, uneducated, vulgar
faced men, they look as though they had
never read newspaper and had never owned
an honest opinion. Five of them are chew
ing tobacco, and their jaws are moving up
and down in unison with those of Jerry Will
son, who is now addressing them. One Of
them in the back row is asleep, and a fly is
crawling on the under lip of his wide-open
mouth. Most of the rest are leaning back ia
their chairs, and six jurors have their chairs
resting on two legs.
-Four of them are negroes, and these are
the most respectabe-looking part of the
twelve. They are better dressed. They look
cleaner, and as rule they pay better atten-
ton than their white brethren. One OF these
negroes-thrd from the left on the back
row-looks as though he might be a full
blooded African. His skin is as black as a
cake OF stove-polish, and it shines with the
same sandy metallic lustre His hair is short
