THE CORONATION
Proclamation in the Official Gazatte
Fixes the Date as August O.

London, July 29.-The latest and most re-
liable information indicates that King Ed
wards doctors were not mistaken in fixing
Aus. . as the date upon which his MAJ jCStv
could be crowned. The sinister rumurs
which have pcrvaded all classes for the
last few days now appear to have lost
that scmblance Of probability which made
even the members of tho cabinet nervous
lest another postponement OF the corona
tion might be ncccssitatod.
The apprehension that King Edward
would be unable to stand the strain of the
coronation ceremony has been greatly les
sened by the announcement that his ma
Josty is now permitted to use his feet, and
with the aid of a stick, has done a little
walking Another late telegram from
COwes, Isle of Wight, saying that nearly
all the restrictions upon the kings diet
have been withdrawn, has been welcomed
as evidence that the recent ominous deduc-
tons We're drawn without due allowance
for the doctors extreme cauuousncss
While the King was testing his ability to
walk two stalwart Jackies stood at his
side. After this experiment which BODIED
we'll for his fulfilling the necessary coron-
alton functions at Westminster Abbey
King Edward sat smoking on the deck of
the royal yacht and watched the races of
the small yachts off Cowes.
Those who drew inferences from the fact
,
were not dated have had their fears dis
sipated by the proclamation published In
the Gazette tonight liking August as
the date for the coronation which posts
dates and is altogether more important
than anything which might or might not
have appeared upon the cards of invita-
ton.
According to the present arrangements
King Edward and Queen Alexandra Will
leave Cowes either August 6 or August :
for Buckingh1m Palace and will return to
the royal yacht August is when the en-
tire fleet will pass before King Edward
and salute him, thus making n second
naval review After his return to the yacht
the King is expected to take ali extended
cruise to the northward and subsequently
to spend some weeks at Balmoral, where
preparations for the arrival of their ma
jesties have already been commenced.
Sir Jos g, Dmsdale, the lord MAYOR of
London, expects King Edward To visit the
city of London the week ending October
H. when great luncheon will be held In
the Guildhall, which is to be followed by
royal procession through the south of
London. All these plans may not be carried
out Ia the letter, but their ARRANGEMENTS
combined with the emphatic optimism of
the Kings physicians is generally taken
as insuring, so far AS human foresight can
be relied upon the Kings coronation for
August o.

tor two years ago, as was h. A. Hunt for
StStes attorney and Geo f. Small for sec
ond assistant Judge.
There were no special speeches and about
the only interesting thing in the whole
proceedings were the remarks of ID. j. Far
rell of johnson when he was nominated
for county commissioner. He expressed
himself emphatically in favor of the pro-
hibitory law and was opposed to 10 al op-
tion. Il am a democrat, but do not b"lieve
in high license, and therefore you had bet
ter nominate somebody else" II. A, Hunt
replied by saying: I'VE want n man that
will enforce the law. The Consciousness OF
the law is because 1t is not enforced fairly;
in some places II Is lightly enforced, in
others strenuously | am somewhat afraid
we viii have to endure ii awhile longer
and so we want some one to enforce the
law because it would be more obnoxious" "
Mr. Farrell resented this by saying;
"Thcrc are not half 4 dozen men here who
would stand up and say we want free
rum" If he should he elected he would en-
force the law because he believed in IL II
would take no offense If somebody more
friendly to the law You are fighting for

emphatic declaration Mr.. Farrell was nom
mated and the convention adjourned.
