On coronation day there will be
gathered together in Westminster Alb
hey all the wealth, beauty and nobility
of England, and not the least gorgeous
part of the historic pageant will be the
wonderful display of flashing gems,
worn alike by their majesties the King
and Queen as we'll as by the peeresses,
the royal guests and the various for
eign ENJOYS and representatives, who
on this occasion are certain to be as
resplendent with gems as their posses
sions will permit. Undoubtedly the
scene will be the most brilliant ever
witnessed. 1t was the Queens wish
that jewels should be worn, and this
intimation was more or less expected
when 1t was given out, as for some
time past the jewelers. had been beset
with inquiries as to the cost of reset
ting and the time necessary to execute
various orders, while several peeresses
have taken time by the forelock and
have their coronation jewels already
reposing safely in their jewel cases or
at their bankers.
The British crown jewels which will
be seen on this occasion, although per-
haps not quite so magnificent as those
owned by Russia, whose regalia in
clude the Orloff diamond, which Is the
largest in the world, are nevertheless
of very great beauty and value. They
include not only the historic pear
shaped ruby which was worn in the
front of the Black Princes helmet at
the battles of Cressy and Poicters, but
also the Pitt diamond, renamed the Re-
gent, which has had many adventures
and was sold to the French govern
ment by a Hindu in III, was worn by

Cravat he had Piece of watered SILK

Wilbur had his Money tied up in a
Handkerchief and he carried a Paper
Telescope loaded down with one Com
plete Change and a Catalogue of the
Institution showing that the Necessary
Expenses were not more than $S.40 per
Week.
AS the Train pulled away from Pc

and said he would try to stick 1t out.
He got out the Catalogue and read all
of the copper-riNeted Rules for the
Moral Guidance of Students.
The Curriculum had him scared. He
saw that in the next four Years he
would have to soak up practically all
the Knowledge on the Market. But
he was cheered to think that If he per-
severed and got through, he would be
entitled to wear an Alpaca Coat and a
Lawn Tie and teach in the High

Countess Of Shaftesbury had pearl
and diamond necklace given her by the
late Duke of Westminster which is
valued at e15,0O0, while her diamond
tiara too, is very fine. Countess Cado-

1t contains some very bright Brazilian
stones. Georgiana Countess of Dudley
owns some fine diamonds, but the Star

Lady Carew's emerald and diamond
tiara is a very fine one, and she also
possesses a beautiful uncut but en-

book through a firm which, for some

Collaboration is an art which seems
to flourish in England more than in
America. Witness the long period of
literary partnership which existed be-

Perhaps it is the English disposition,

on the Pacific washed shores of Sam

Osborne found combined literary ef-
forts congenial--another case of inter-
national amity in the province of let

literary partnerships exist in this
country, and, proportionately, many
more exist in England.

Salem, Mass, Dec. 24.-For alleged

PENDANTS We're held in 500 bonds. Both
furnished bail.
The cases grew out of the recent con-
gressional contests in the 9th Massa-

ley attempted to vote at a Republican
caucus and were challenged. They
took the oath of allegiance as Republic
cans and were allowed to cast a ballot.
In the election which followed the
primaries of both parties Buckley and
Andrews were sworn in as Democratic
precinct officers. Thereupon the Re-
publican city committee investigated
the cases and procured warrants for
the arrest of the two men, charging
that the caucus law had been violated.
Several hearings have been held Oh

DIEHL'S PROTEST
Against Stopping the Caracas Will Not

Washington, Dec 24.-The navy de-
partment up to noon today. had re-
ceived no word from Commander Diehl
of the gunboat Marietta, concerning
his report protesting against the action
of the blockading squadron at Caracas
in refusing to allow the Red ID liner
Caracas to remain in the harbor. yes
terday, long enough to discharge her
cargo. No request for instructions has
come from him.
The officials of the department have
entire confidence in Commander Diell's
ability to handle the situation and I'M
less they hear something from him in
the shape of a protest against the ac-
ton of the allies they will take no ac-
ton.
AS rule it is agreed that a block
aiding fleet can do pretty much as it
likes. 1t is intimated that possibly the
reason for the position taken by the
allies in declining to allow the Caracas
to remain in the harbOr at night is
that in the dark it would be difficult
to exercise surveillance of what vas
being taken out of her hold. For the
same reason the allies may have de-
cided that she should not return to the
harbor. today, but should take on her
passengers outside.

THE PRESIDENT
May Exercise Own judgement
As to Arbitrating
Present Disagreement Between Eng.
Land, Germany and Venezuela.
In Any Case He Wishes Speedy Set.
Element Of Trouble.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The proposals
of Great Britain and Germany that
President Roosevelt arbitrate the Ven
eZue!an dispute have reached Wash
ington. They are in such form that
the President can accept or reject the
proposition outright. So far, the mes
sages having been received while the
President was absent from the White
House, he has had no opportunity to
consider them. Until he does SO his de-
cisiCn cannot be known.
For the same reason, nothing can
be gathered here as to the details of
the proposals, and although great in
terest is felt as TO the extent of the
limitations which the allies will ask
shall be placed on the arbitration, Curl
osity on that point must remain I'M
satisfied until the President has finally
made up his mind what he will do.
1t is known that he is disposed to act
with all speed in the matter, for he
realizes that the conditions on the
blockade line are such that almost any
moment an unpleasant incident may
occur through the Cbstinacy of some
skipper or from genuine nisunder-
standing as to the terms of the block
