The Coming Coronation.

From the Boston Heerald
 Tomorrow the reign of black at the British court will be over. The king and queen, the royal family and the royal household will then go into half-mourn- ing. Though black has been the general wear, the mourning has not been deep, and but little crepe has been seen, fact for which the queen is largely responsi- ble. It is not expected that very much half mourning will be worn, and in fact, no one is really bound to wear mourning unless at some function where royalty is present. With the year of mourning half over, plans are already being made for the coronation ceremonies of next June. Although the route of the corona tion procession has not yet been fully decided on, bids have already been made for the use of windows in the neighbor- hood of St James Palace. Rooms with three windows, from which view of the coronation procession can be had, have been already engaged. and the price paid was said to be $500 window. or SLIGO for the room. Of course, the coronation will be a great spectacle, and those house. holders who are lucky enough to own property on the route of the procession will doubtless be able to lease all their windows at high prices.

 MT. Espy then offered an amendment striking out that part of the resolution which directed the legislature to proVloe for the support of the Agricultural schools as they now existed.

Captaln White said that he doubted f the resoiu- ton meant anything more than letter to the legislature. The convention then adjourned until tomorrow.

SETTLING THE
 CHINESE ROW Indemnity Question Has Been
 Disposed Of ONLY FEW MINOR POINTS Final Strength of Legation GarrIsons Will Probably Be 1900 Men, With Force of 5000 Distributed
 at Other Points.
ONLY FEW MINOR POINTS

London, August 6.-Lord Lansdowne, the foreign secretary in the House of Lords. today said the Chinese negotla- tions had recently made rapid and satis- factory progress.
 The indemnity question was disposed of with the exception of a few minor points. There was still some question whether the commercial facilities in China had not better be transferred to some other place than Pekin and to some more widely body than the present con- ference.
 The foreign secretary also said that the final strength of the legation garrisons at Pekin probably will be 1900 men and an additional force of 5000 men would be distributed at important points along the route to the sea.
 The secretary regarded the Anglo-Ger- man and Anglo-Russian agreements as satisfactory and as tending to the main tainence of China's territorial integrity.
