Milwaukee, Wis, May 26.-Later re-
ports from North McGregor, Ia, rela-

THE CAR OF RUSSIA CROWNED
Every Detail of the Ancient Rites Faith
fully Carried Out.

Moscow, Russia, May 26.-His Ma
jesty, the Emperor Nicolas Alexandra
witch, autocrat of all the Russias and
Her Majesty, the Empress Alexandra
Feodorovna, were solemnly crowned
to-day in the Cathedral of the Assump-
ton, with the utmost ceremony and
in accordance with all the religious
forms and ancient rites.
The weather was glorious and the
Kremlin, the countless churches, the
gold, silver and colored cupolas every
where were resplendent with sunshine
and the bells of all the churches, join
ing with those of the Cathedral at the
conclusion of different portions of the
ceremony, broken now and then by
the booming of cannon, filled the air
with grand music which thrilled
even the most impassive Moujik.
Throughout the night and early
morning myriads of people had flocked
into the city from the country and at
7:30 this morning, when the first ar
tillery salute echoed, all the streets
in the vicinity of the Kremlin were
densely thronged.
In brief, at 1920 the booming of
cannon and the pealing of bells an
nounced that the act of coronation
had been completed. At noon their
Imperial Maiesties were anointed, and
about to enter the Holy door leading
to the altar, to receive holy commun-
ion, the air was filled with JOY bells,
and cannon doomed salutes, which
echoed far nd wide. At 1890 the cere-
monies at the Cathedral were finished
and their Majesties reached the palace
at one p. IN.
Leaving the Cathedral their Majes-
ties were attired in all imperial splen-
dor nd proceeded to the Red Terrace
of the palace in full view of the inn
mense multitudes assembled, Loyalty
and enthusiastically greeted on all
sides.
The scene was one of indescribable
enthusiasm, the crowds being quite
carried away by the intensity of the
feeling awakened.
The spectacle of the coronation in
the Cathedral was impressive in the
extreme with its splendor of religious
ritual, and the solemn pomp of Rus
sian Majesty shown in all its external
phases, every little detail of the an
cient religious and regal rites being
followed out with the most minute
detail.

THE LARGEST GIRGULATl0N of AMY NORTH GAR(llNA DAILY

with any practical purpose in view
and il was stated that once the pro-
vision for free alcohol was removed from
the statute books, there would be much
difficulty in securing it's re-enact-
ment. He, therefore, offered an amend
ment to suspend the operation of the
present provision for year, instead
of repeating it. This and all other pro-
positions from the advocates of free
alcohol were voted down.
An analysis of the vote shows that
Sc Democrats, 104 Republicans and 5
Populists voted for the bill and go
Republicans and Democrats against
it.
The Senate amendments to the Cen
eral Deficiency bill, excepting the
French spoliation claims and claims
under the Bowman act,) were disa-
greed to and the bill sent to confer
ence.
Mr.. Dolliver, (Rep., Ia.), member
of the Ways and Means committee,
spoke in favor of the alcohol repeal
bill, which he said had nothing TO do
with the tariff question. 1t ws a plain
business proposition. He ridiculed the
idea of attempting Republican legisla-
tion against the opposition of the sin
ert, Populistic mass in the Senate
and the inert, free trade mass in the
White House,
Mr.. Doliver drifted from the deci-
sion of the bill into politics. He paid
his respects to Ex-Governor Horace
Boies,, of Iowa, who, he said, looking
in vain through the dust and cobwebs
of a country law Office for a Republi-
can nomination, joined the anti-pro-
hibition element in Iowa and led the
Democratic party to victory.
With cutting satire he described Mr..
Boies as tiring of the contemplation
of the legal status of the town pump
and turning his attention to broader
fields. He told of dinner at the New
York Reform Club, in 1891, at which
Cleveland Carlisle and Boies were pre-
sent and at which the latter deliver
ed a high tribute to the prosperity OF
| the country under the Mckinley law
| He eulogized the splendid leadership
of Reed, Mckinley Blaine and Harri-
son under which the Mckinley law
| had been enacted and described the
misrepresentation of that law which
| had oyerthrown the splendid Republi-
| can phalanX and had given Congress
| over to the widest assortment OF
political freaks that ever added to the
| gaiety of Nations" He went on tc
describe how Mr.. Boies had once again
| shifted his horizon and now sought
| with some local State" to restore the
| prosperity of Republican administra.
| ton by advocating the unlimited
| manufacture of so cent dollars"
The Republican side displayed q
| good deal of enthusiasm during tbs
| delivery of Mr.. Delivers remarks
| but Mr.. McMillin, Dem, Tenn.), an
grily protested against consuming
| the brief time for debate with a poll
| tical harangue and Mr.. Knox, (Rep.
Mass.), joined in the protest. The lat
| ter said such a speech would furnish
| but poor answer to those whose in
| terests were affected when they asked
for the reasons for the passage of this
| bill.
