READY FOR CORONATION.
King Edward Receives Hearty Greet
Ing Upon His Return to London.


London, Aug. liking Edward ar
rived at the Victoria station at $3.50 p.
m. yesterday. Free access was al
lowed the public, except to the plat
form reserved for the king.
He descended from the train without
assistance and entered an open car
riage, which started after few min
utes' delay for buckingham palace.
The king looked extremely well, and
appeared to be in excellent spirits. The
decrease of his weight, caused by the
operation, gave him an appearance Of
greater height.
Judging by appearances. the king not
only will be able to go through the
coronation ceremonies. but will be per.
fectly capable Of performing all func-
tiOns Of the service without dscOm-
fort.
The admiring cheers OF the crowd
along the kings route from Victoria
station to Buckingham palace were
mingled with expressions Of amaZement
at the appearance of the king riding in
an open landau and much of the time
hareheaded. he having removed his hat.
The king kept continually bowling and
smiling in response to the cheers Of the
people. There was little rain during the
drive to the palace. The long route via
GroSvenor place and Hyde park corner
and thence down Constitution hill was
followed.
The king passed through great sea
Of waving hats ana handkerchiefs as
he drove up to the palace. He was ap-

made at Buckingham palace last night:

last night over the tarring and feather

was not according to their IDEAS of
what it should be. Last night they
secured Mcdonald, stripped him Of his

feathers. Then they rode him on a

New Haven. Aug. Under the most
extraordinary conditions surrounding
any conflict between capital and labor
that has ever been waeed In Conpecti-
cut the Fair Haven and Westvllle
Trolley company is helpless before near
ly 800 striking conductors and motor
men. Its entire system u paralyzed.
There Is no traffic. Now and then a
lone car moves passengerless over the
lines, but its mission Is one required by
the government of the United States in
the transportation of the mails.
But 1t Is not in its physical aspects
that the strike presents 10 the officials
Of the railroad company the greatest
difficulties. A proposition that would
seem almost staggering cOnfronts the
company in the Outburst of public
sympathy and public Indignation in be-
half Of the strikers. The striking ON
plOyes find themselves supported
throughout the city by prominent ct-
zens, lawyers, the clergy, the city
council and various organizations Of
the citys business men, and even the
newspapers Of the city almost without
exception lend editorial support in ull-
mlstakeable language to the cause of
the strikers. Everywhere, apparently,
this condition prevails, and the moral
support given the conpany's unem-
plOyed Is made all the more CXtrat r.
dinary by the fact that encouragement

There has been no trolley cOmmuni-

strikers thus far have been orderly and
they are circulating in the crowds that
throng the streets In an effort 10 prevent

The consensus of opinion marks It
down as certain that a strike under
these conditions cannot long continue,
and as matter of fact strikers and
citizens anticipate prompt adjust

SUMMER COLONY SCARED.
Case Of Smallpox at Peaks Island
Caused Temporary Quarantine.


Portland, Me-, Aug. THE summer
colony ut Peaks island was thrown in.
to state of excitement yesterday
when it became known that one of the
guests at the Hotel Coronado was suf-
fering with smallpox. The victim Is
Mrs. III. f. Tarrant of New York, who
came to Portland last Saturday. She
had been visiting at Cambridge, Mass,
previous to coming here and it Is
thought she may have contracted the
disease in that city. She was III when
she arrived here, and has been con-
fined to her room ever since. leSter-
day her condition became more serious
and a physician was called. He found
that she was afflicted with sli allpoN
and the board of health decided to take
prompt and effective measures 10
guard against spread of the disease.
A squad of regular police from the
city went to the island and placed n
strict quarantine on the hotel. The
Coronado Is one of the principal hotels
on the island and nearly 300 guests
were registered there yesterday. The
Coronado has no dining room accom-
modatiOns and the guests took their
meals at other hotels and nearby
restaurants.
Yesterday was cold and dreary and
nearly all the guests were in their
rooms when the guard was thrown
around the house. For Il time the most
intense excitement prevailed. When
it was learned that the victim of the
disease had been at the island only
since Thursday. and that she had been
confined to her room all the time, it
was recognized that the danger Of con-
tagion was slight. Last night Mrs.
Tarrant was removed to the Isolation
hospital and after the residents of the
hotel had been vaccinated the quar-
antine was raised.
