THE CEREMONY ABBREVIATED.
Some Big Cuts Made in the Corona
ton Programme.

London, Aug. S.-A number of i'm
portant changes in the coronation pro-
gramme were announced to-day. The
Recognition, in which the King is pre-
sented to the people by the Archbishop
of Canterbury as the "undoubted King
of the realm" will be performed but
once instead of four times as given in
the official programme. The Litany,
which was to have followed the Rec
ognition, will not be said, the sermon
will be omitted and the TIE Deum,
which was placed in the order of the
service after the presenting of the BIZ
BILE, will not be given at that time but
will b sung during the recess, at the
Gloss of the coronation Of
fee, when the King visits
st. Edwards chapel. Owing
to the age of the Very Rev.
George Granville Bradley, the dean of
Westminster. who is 81 years old. the
King has relieved him of the duty of
placing the regalia upon the altar, and
this service will be performed by Ca
non Duckworth, but the dean will pre-
sent the crown to the Archbishop for
the act of coronation and will pre-
sent the communion cup to the King.

NATIONAL BANK SHOWING.
Volume of Business the Greatest
Ever Known But Controller
RfdgeIy Notes Heavy Increase i'm

RidseIy Notes Heavy Increase in
Loans.
Washington, Aug. S.--Controller of
the Currency Ridgely to-day made the
following statement in regard to the
summary of condition of the national
banks of the United States at the
close of business on Wednesday, July
16:
THE reports of condition show the
banks to be in excellent shape as
kind. The increase in most of the items
of the statement are consi.t.n with
the universal reports of the prosperous
condition of business. and the increase
III its volume all over the country. The
footing of the statement, Sc COS, 754 ,975.
is, as might be expected, the largest
on record. The least favorable fea-
ture of the statement, however. is per-
maps the continued increase in loans
$4s,lO2, las since the statement
of April 30. 1902, and 1884,
J53,255 over the statement of
July 10, 1901. In this ex-
pansion of the volume of loans
there is, of course. considerable solid
growth and increase of values, upon
which loans can properly be based, but
there is always danger in going too far
in this direction.
THE average reserve held by the
banks has increased from 27.21 per
cent, on April 30. 1902, to 27.4S per
cent, July IS. But this is somewhat
lower than the average reserve of July
10, 1901, when ii was 2S.01 per cent.

tween Hayti and New York.
Washington, Aug S.-The United
States and Haytian Telegraph and Ca
BILE Company has appealed to the State
and Navy Departments here to pre-
vent the cutting of the cable at Cape
Haytian. According to information re-

Pierot, which is under the command
of Admiral Killick, Secretary of War
and Navy, under the revolutionary
government, intends to sever the COM
pany's cable between Cape Haytian
and New York. The company appeal
ed to the authorities here to instruct
Commander McCrea Of the gunboat
Machias to protect the cable from vio-
lence. Acting Secretary of State Adee
and Acting Secretary of the Navy
Darling decided that it was proper
for this government, in the protection
of the international interests involved,
to issue instructions and accordingly a
cablegram was sent to Commander Nc
Crea directing him to prevent the cut
ting of the cable.

London, Aug. s.--The announcement
made in Belfast that an agreement

details of the agreement are still pro-
oeeding, and, IT is believed, with every

stances connected with the

mander-i n-chief Of the forces, and
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, of the United

banquet of the new Anglo-American
Pilgrims Club, which was given at the
Carlton Hotel. Lord Kinnard presided
at the banquet.
After toasts had been drunk to King
Edward and President Roosevelt. Gen.
Wheeler, in a very eulogistic speech,
proposed Earl Roberts as honorary
president of the club. Earl Roberts,
replying to the American general, said
he hoped some day his responsibilities,
which appeared to increase with the
advance of years, would permit him 10
visit the United States, which coun-
try of all others he most desired to
see.

Gen. Wilson, E. L. Baylies and J. P.

the authorities, who were decidedly
doubtful as to whether they should
recognize their presence, finally settled
the matter by sending all of them
tickets to the Abbey, but emphasizing
the TACT that the courtesy was extend
ed in strictly personal capacity. Ras

preparations is the immense rush of

Pending in Manila Courts.
Manila. Aug. s.-Nothing is known
here of the reported sale of the lands
of the friars to an American syndicate,
and the statement that such a sale
has been made is officially discredited
The Dominicans transferred eight of
their estates in the Island of Luzon
to the Philippines Sugar Estates De-
velopment Company, in which certain
Americans are interested, in January,
1900. The government has questioned
the legality of this transfer and the
matter is now pending before the
courts. Some property belonging
to other religious orders here is
nominally outside of the control of the
church and judicial action will proba-
bly, be necessary before the govern
ment purchases the friar lands. That
there have been recent transfers of
friar property is doubted. The status
of the holdings of the friars is not be-
lieved to have changed since Gov
Taft left the Philippines for Washing
