Adair Bradford, of the naval board Of
construction, Saturday submitted ia
Secretary Long minority report on
the proposed new battleships. The
report favors six and eight-inch guns
instead Of a seven-inch gun in broad

cussions leading up to the adoption
of plans for ships now building, to

ling, who never was ssparticularly fond of display, was enAplsd to omit many little ceremonials incident to the act of proclamation. When the time for the formal coronation arrives, how ever, he will have to submit to the wearing of coronation robes and crowns. It has been stated that this ceremony will not be performed for at least one year, because the coronation festivities are considered joyful rites, accompanied by much feas,ing, revels and public rejoicing.
 One of the quaintest customs com nected with the crowning of king is that which requires him to offer to fight for his throne. In the olden times, when a king reigned by power of his good right arm, this was Q necessary formality, and because it was neces- sary once it is still done. But the king no longer does his own fighting. He has champion, the hereditary cham pion of England. whose business it is to battle with all corners for the crown. The champion is always a member of the Dymoke family. When the king is crowned this champion rides into Westminster hall, mounted and in full armor. just as the champion was centuries ago. He is accompanied by the earl marshal and the lord great chamberlain, also on horseback. The hall is crowded with sightseers. A proclamation is read by one of the her. ads, challenging anybody who disputes the rights of the sovereign to com bat in an open space. The champio throws down his gauntlet as guarantee of good faith, and the hearts of all the ladies present futter iR Anticipation of fight. But it is all disappein ting sham. If some enterprising young knight were to take up challenge and gauntlet he would be run in by po- iaeman for disturbing the peace. The herald takes up the glove and hands it back to the champion. and the king is firmly seated on his throne.
 It is hoped and expected that the sev- enth Edward will reflect honor upon the royal name he has chosen for him. self. The six Edwards who preceded him were, without exception, selfish rulers; but several of them left a deep and lasting impression on the character of the nation over which they ruled.
 Edward l., surnamed "Longshanks," was born at Westminster in 1239. He participated in the seventh crusade and was returning from Palestine when he heard of his accession to the throne. The most notable acts of his career were the punishment of all Jews from England and his defeat of

He was still chucking when he boarded his suburban train, and, in his jovial frame of mind, it was only natural that he should sue ceed in engaging in conversation the man who sat next to him. He had just reached the point of saying: q heard good story tonight when the casual acquaintance's station was reached. The conductor sat down beside him for moment, but his duties compelled him to leave before the story was fairly started and he never came back.
 "Never mind,'' soliloquized the man with the story, $ Mary will enjoy it." Mary being his wife, it seemed as if there would be no escape for her. She was sleeping soundly when he reached home, but a little thing like that did not trouble him. He was still chuckling when he entered the room, but the chuckIe died away when he saw the placard that was hanging from the dimly burning gas jet. The placard read: Amy story you have heard will keep till morn ing"

THOUSANDS OF MILES OF GOLD
Rich Auriferous Sands That Are
 Found fin South New Zealand,

Astretch of rich gold bearing sand. 300 miles long by 25 miles wide, or 7,50O square miles, sounds like somewhat tall order, writes the Wellington (N. Z.) correspondent of the London press, but that is the well-authenti- cated news which comes here from across the strait.
 From the Karamea river, in the northern part of the South island, down as far as the Haarst river, in latitude A S., the whole of the west coast is al- most fabulously rich in auriferous quartz reefs. and for 300 miles the black sands are full of the precious yellow dust.
 Hitherto none but entirely unsuit- able machinery has been used for gold getting along these. Pactolian shores, but recently the Waiwhero Sluicing company has put up plant adapted to the peculiar conditions of the sand and is reaping an enormously rich harvest. The result has been g rush, and 1000 acres have already been taken 3upsby prospectors from as far away as Sydney.

the Scots under Wallace in 12es. Ed ward II. was the fourth son of Ed ward I. and the first prince of Wales. In consequence of his all-areund in- competence the government was in- trusted by the barons to 21 ordainers. He was imprisoned in Berkeley castle and murdered at the instigation of his queen, Isabella. Edward III. was the son of Edward II. and Isabella of France. He threw his mother into prison and seized the reins of govern ment. He involved England in the 100 years war with France. His reign was signalized by several visits of the "black death.' Edward ". was the son of Richard, duke of York, and Cecily Neville, daughter of the earl of Westmoreland. He played a promi- nent part in the struggle between the houses of York and Lancaster for the throne and is known to readers of fic- tion as one of the leading characters in Bulwer's "Last of the Barons.' Ed ward V. was born in Westminster ab- bey in 147O. He was king of England from April to June, 14S3, but was i'm prisoned in London tower by his uncle, Richard, duke of Gloucester, by whom he and his brother were se- cretly put to death. Edward VT. was the son of Henry VIII. by his third queen, Jane Seymour, and succeeded to the throne under the regency of his uncle, the duke of Somerset, who was supplanted by the duke of North umberland. During his reign oc- cured the publication of the 42 ar ticles of religion and the introduction of the book of common prayer.
 King Edward VII. was married in St. Georges chapel, Windsor castle, on March 10, 1863. to Princess Alex andra, oldest laughter of the king of Denmark. The, have had five chill dren, the eldest of whom, known as the duke of Clarence, was born Jam uary 8, 1864, and died in January, 1892 The second son, George, duke of York, was born June 8, 1865. Louise Victoria Alexandra Dagmar, born-Feb. ruary 20, 1867, married the duke of Fife in 1899. Victoria Alexandra was born July 6, 1868, and Maude Char lotte, born November 26, 1869, married Prince Charles, second son of the crown prince of Denmark, on July 22, 1896.
 The duke of York, who now is heir presumptive, will eventually be invest ed with the principality of Wales, but probably not until after his father has been formally crowned. The duke of York married on July 6, 1893, Princess Mary of Teck. the affianced bride of his older brother, the duke of Clar- ence, who died in 1892. They have two sons and daughter, so that the sue cession in direct line is almost abso- lutely assured.

AN EXPENSIVE CITY.
What It Costs to Support the Munfcf- pal Government of New York
 for n Single Year.

New York is the most eXtravagant city in the world. Great countries, possessing millions of square miles of territory, are governed more cheaply. One hundred million dol lars. This is double the cost of the government of Mexico. with it's 15,- 100000 inhabitants, including the cost of Mexico's army and navy. It is al- most one-third of the cost of the government of the German empire, and Germany has a population of 52, ,0O0, ,O00. It is a quarter as great as the cost of the government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, including it's army, it's gi- gantic navy and the interest on it's debt. Frances burden of taxation is crushing that wealthy nation of 40,- 100000 inhab abitants, yet New York's city government costs one-sixth as much as that of France. The ex- penditure of the government of the United States in 1860, when the coun- try's population was 31,oo0,OOO, was S63, 100000, or not very much more than half the yearly cost of the sup port of the government of New York city at the present time, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
 One hundred million dollars! This is in excess of five times the cost of carrying on the government of the imperial state of New York with a population considerably more than 100000. The departments of water supply and of docks and ferries are supported by their own revenues.

land the other day justas were his prede- cessors from time immemorial. The twentieth century ceremony varies but slightly from that practiced in the fifteenth.
 Good old Queen Victoria departed from the scenes of, her earthly pomp and glory on January a2. On the 23d the privy council met and declared the throne to have devolved on the prince of Wales. Orders were given without delay to the earl marshal, the duke Of Norfolk, and the officers of the ''college of arms' to proclaim him. The first proclamation was made in the courtyard of St. James palace. Garter king" chief officer of the col lsge, made the procIamation in sol enn form, with the earl marshal, the kings, the heralds and the pursuiv- ants in full uniform and stationed near by. At this proclamation the new king was present, sitting at the window where all his predecessors have sat.
 On the next day, the 24th of Janu- carried far and wide to the distant cltleS, the rank or the pTCcldlIHlIS officer descending as the business proceeded. The second pronounce ment was made at Charlng Cross and the third at the corner of Chancery lane. At this proclamation there YVES a modification of the ancient form, owing to the disappearance of Temple Bar. Within the so-called city of London the lord mayor and sheriHs preserve their ancient sovereignty and allow no monarch within their gates except after permission has been asked and granted. The ancient form was for the junior pursuivant to rap at the gate and show his war rant for proclamation. The ceremony of this year remained the same, bar ring the knock at the gate, which no longer exists. In the provinces the proclamations were made by the local mayors.
 In ancient times the newly made monarch was clothed in the royal trappings and wore the royal crown when going through the ceremony here described. The prince of Wales became King Edward VII. without these gaudy accessories. He wore a field marshal's uniform with the rib

 Another novel device by which ice is employed for protection against cold consists in throwing upon the car when the weather is near the zero point a plentiful stream of water which freezes at once and forms a complete coat over the vehicle. The action of the ice is the same as in the other case.
 A similar plan is frequently adopt ed in the transportation of bananas Q fruit which is particularly suscepti ble to cold. The fruit is put in papeA bags inside of heavy canvas bags and covered with salt hay when the tenn, perature is dangerously low.

Novel Method of Preserving Perish. able Goods from Freezing

In his speech to the privy coun- cil the king said he assumed the title of Edward VII. in accordance with the wish of his beloved mother, who united the virtues of a supreme do- mestic guide with the affections and patriotism of a wise, peace-loving monarch. He had respectful desire to leave the memory of his fathers name, Albert, the exclusive treasure of his mother. Notwithstanding his personal desire he could not hope to do justice to the renown and virtues associated with Prince Albert's name He would do his utmost, however, to be worthy of his great position.
