The Coronation Ceremonies.

The procession moved very slowly. and
was nearly an hour in reaching the con-
gress building As the Kings carriage
moved Up. the president of the chamber
came forward and met his majesty at the
door He led him inside, followed by the
court 5ignitaries. and by the Queen Re
gent, who wore white low-neeked silk
dress, with a long train borne by four
pages. There was no nervousness in the
Kings behavior As he entered the Cortes
hall he stood for moment and bowed
first to the foreign envoys, then TO the
members of the chamber, and finally to
the Spanish mobiles. The salute was re-
turned. and his majesty walked slowly
across the room to the throne, which
was mounted on raised dais with an
altar in front
When the King reached the throne the
president OF the chamber advanced toward
him, bowed low, and proceeded to admin
lister the oath. His majesty listened to
the reading and repeated the oath in shrill
boyish tones
He then kissed the Bible and the cruci-
fix and stepped from the throne. His
mother was standing near. The boy raised
his arm. and the Queen Regent abdicatet
her title by bowling her head and touch
ing her sons hand. The homage of the
mother to the son was a necessary part
of the show
Alfonso Strengthened himself and pro-
ceeded from the room to his coach. The
procession was reformed and proceeded
to the San Francisco Cathedral, Alfonso
now the actual ruler Of his kingdom. On
the way to the Cortes. Alfonso and the
Queen Regent rode in the same coach. but
after leaving Congress the King rode
alone, as an fntimation of his new posi-
tion as real head of the nation.
The Queen Regent this morning con
ferred on President Loubet, of France the
Order of the Golden Fleece and sent to
the president 10000 pesetas (S1,S30 for the
aid of the Martinique sufferers

grave. because he was thus able
to keep pace with his parliamentary
duties.
1t is pointed out as apparently con-
firmatory of the unwelcome reports,
that, upon the Termination of the cor
onation ceremonies and conferences,
Sir Wilfrid and Lady Laurier. accom-
panied by some personal friends, will
travel on the continent for season,
and it is believed that the premier's
final decision to re- ire from the gov
eminent win not be taken until it is
seen whether his health shows perma-
nent improvement or not by the
change.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is now in his
sixty-second year. He has about
reached the zenith of his popularity in.
the domini6n, and the empire as well
He is the idol Of his party. irrespective
of nationality. and is the admiration
even of his political opponents. His
forced retirement, at the present june
ture, is viewed with regret and alarm
w the liberals. since such step would
undoubtedly change the whole situa-
ton, not only as between the two
great political parties in Canada, but
also as between the English and
French races of the Dominion. His po-
litical following is naturally appre-
hensive. that. should he cease 10 lead
his party, history will repeat itself and
the present government TO go to pieces
Just as did the conservative admins
tration shortly after the'Geath. in 1891,
Of its great leader. Sir John a. Mac
donald. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's admin
istration is almost sure to live so long
as he remains the prime minister Of
Canada, for nothing short Of some
great political upheavai could now
Dust him from power
The question of Sir Wilfrid's sue
cessor to the premiership is naturally
being debated quietly in political cir
cles. The man who stands out most
prominently in the public eye among
the other members of the cabinet. is
the minister of finance, Hon. William
S. Fielding. He is essentially self
made man. who began life as news
paper reporter and rose to the edit
orial chair Mr. Fielding became prime
minister of Nova Scotia in 1854, which
office he held continuously until 1896.
when he resigned to enter the federal
government as the finance minister. Of
the then new liberal administration Of
Canada.

Coronation of King Edward
Has Important Hearing ON
Dominion Politics.

The statement is made at Ottawa,
Ont, with somewhat startling empha-
sis, that Sir William Laurier has sat
in the dominion parliament, as the
prime minister of Canada, for the last
time. The report TO this effect, which
gained considerable currency a rev
days before the prorogation OF the re-
cent parliamentary session IN OTTAWA
was at the time received with un-
feigned surprise by the general public,
but not so by the personal friends OF
the premier. Although the latter rid
icule the idea, there is. nevertheless,
said to be ground for the statement
which is now being discussed by gov
eminent supporters throughout the
country with mingled incredibly and
dismay.
1t is even added that the announce
ment of the final retirement of Sir
Wilfrid has been set for a time not
.ater than the coming autumn. The
principal reason assigned for the pre-
mier's withdrawal from active public
life is his persistent ill-health. which
requires constant care and restfulness.
He is from time to time compelled to
take long rests at home, where, it is
said, his physician is summoned TO
attend him frequently. and he is con-
stantly subjected to severe diet.
Immediately after the close of the
parliamentary session Sir Wilfrid left
Cor a rest in the Adirondacks prior to
,,mbarking for England TO attend the
conference. To discredit the disquiet-
ing reports as to the premier's i'll
health, his friends point to the fact
that, during the past session of par
lament. he was seldom absent from
his seat in the commons chamber. anG
was as alert and keenly responsive 10
the moods of the house as ever. Never
theless, it is remarked that the nature
of his ailment is none the less
