Preparations of Southern Pacific and
Houston and Texss Central.
Tue Sunset line and Houston and Texas
Central have about completed the details
for handling President McKinley's special
train. aud nothing has been overlooked
that would contribute to safety, dispatch
or comfort.
The southern Paclhc has prepared and
issued special time tables. printed respec-
lively on red. white and blue paper for tho
several divisions of its line that the presi-
dents train will pass over. These schedules
give the special train absolute right Of
Track over any and all other trains. Dur
ing night runs a special engine will he run
ahead of the presidential train to Insure
perfect safety of track.
The Houston and Texas Central have
been arranging during the past week to
have their premises at the general office
buildings appropriately decorated on May
:, and the principal stations on that por-
ton of their line over which the magnin-
cent train viii pass will also be profusey

1t is safe to predict that the distinguish

any coin which he may have been asked
to buy was or was not included.
The acquisition Of the MarignoH collec-
ton by the king will have a general IN
terest much greater than that connected
with the mere fact that the two best col
lections in Italy are now to be amalga-
mated, and that the $1,000 Marignoli
coins are to be added to the 10000 and
more coins of the king. The late Mar
splendid collection. would never allow a
catalogue to be published nor illustra-
tiOns of his coins to be reproduced in the
technical reviews. King Victor Emman-
uel has given orders for a catalogue Of
the collection to be made. which, to-
gether with all the published catalogues

ceased to think of their sovereign as a
numismatist, though they are aware that
his valuable collection of italian coins
has been specially arranged in some of
the rooms of the Quirinal. Now how
ever, their interest has been reawaken-
ed by the announcement that the king
has bought the immense and unrivaled
collection of Italian coins formed by the
late Senator Filippo Morignoli, marquis
of MontecCrona.
King Victor Emmanuel's passion for
coins dates from his childhood. when his
English gcYerness, Miss Lee, used to
buy from Roman antiquaries all the GU
rious- old coins and medals she could find
general-Osio, the kings preceptor, took

The Corpus" will comprise fifteen or
sixteen qUartO volumes, printed and Illus

ty, OF which the king is president The

$500, and viii be sold for the benefit

advantage of the taste for coins thus
aW akened in the child to teach him the
history of the various Italian cities of
the Middle Ages as illustrated by their
coinage. Gradually the kings collection
grew until it numbered 10000 specimens,
many of them extremely rare, Of me-
diaeval and modern Italian coins. Sig.
Vitalini, one of the chief authorities on
numismatics, who has often served as
intermediary for the purchase of coins
for the royal collection, says that the
king knows every one of his coins by
heart. and that when at Florence or
Naples he happened not to have his col
lection with him, he could Immediately
decide without reference whether or not
