The Queen then made the first OF her
nserings: an altar-clOth Of gold placed
mon the altar, and an ingot OF gold
Teighing q pound placed In the obla-
ZION dish. This done, the regalia were
nlaced upon the altar, where they re-
NAMED during the litany, the COM
muni0n service, and the sermon-all
being preliminary to the taking and
Sening OF the coronation oath. After
signing the oath the Queen was an
pointed; and the mental picture one
has Of her at this moment Is one of
the most vivid. But little more than q
child either in years or In stature,
she. sat in st. Edwards chair, which
vas covered with a cloth Of gold, with
4 faldStool in front or ner placed In
front Of the altar. -Four Knights OF
the Garter held a pail OF gold over
her head, and the Sub-Dean Of West
Minister took from the altar the An,-
pulla. containing the consecrated oil.
and pouring some of 1t into the an
poiniing spoon, annointed the Queen

SUGAR TRUST WEAKENS
1T WILL NOT MAKE A FIGHT FOR
THE SENATE SCHEDULE.
Brewers of Beer Preparing to Bonn
bard the Capital with Reasons for
No Change in Their Tax,
special to the Indianapolis journal.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-It is stated on
apparently unquestionable authority that
the Sugar Trust has abandoned hope of
having the Senate sugar schedule passed
and will accept the schedule of the House
bill. Representatives of the brewers have
at length been impressed that there is dam
ger that the additional tax proposed in the
Senate tariff bill is likely to be adopted by
Congress. and they are getting ready to
lombard the Capitol with the threat of the
vengeance of the German vote" The
economic reason advanced for the proposed
beer tax is that the revenues will fall far
short the first year or two under any new
tariff law and that provision must be made
by levying a higher tax on beer to help
make UP an inevitable deficiency
The Republican senators will hold a eau
Gus Monday TO consider the tariff bill The
first effort will be to devise plans to ex-
pedite the consideration of the bill and
there will also be an attempt to reconcile
differences of opinion as to the merits of
some features. Some of the schedules are
Objectionable to many of the senators and it
is thought advisable to settle such differ
ences in caucus rather than in the Senate
The principal object of the caucus. how
ever, is to agree upon plan for the limita-
ton of the time for debate and under the
present rules this can only be done by mu-
tual consent What the tariff leaders will
first attempt is to secure an agreement
among Republican senators to restrain any
desire they may have for general speeches
and thus throw the responsibility for delay
upon the opposition. So far as agreed upon
the programme is to have Senator Aldrich
make his statement on Monday or Tuesday
of next week and to follow this by imme-
diately taking up the schedules and maxi
RppIhliran Ci1
of the chamber
There are now indications that the debate
may not be so greatly prolonged as at
first seemed probable. The Democrats.
Populists and silver Republicans all aver
