LONDON, July 26.-The Duke Of Devon
shire. president Of the Council, and other
members Of the Privy Council who left
here on a special train for Southampton
this morning. attended a meeting of the
Council on the royal yacht Victoria and
Albert off Cowes, Isle OF Wight, to-day.
This was the first meeting Of the Council
ever held in similar place or under such
circumstances. The weather at Cowes was
favorable. King Edward passed an excel
lent night and experienced no i'll effects
from the cruise around the island. The
Privy Council meeting was brief. King
Edward signed proclamations fixing the
coronation for Aug. g. and making bank
holiday of the same day. The privy coun-
cilors who had luncheon with the King
spent two hours on board the royal yacht
Orders for the naval review which is to
take place off Spithead Aug. 16 were issued
to-day. They provide for the assembling of
a fleet Aug. IL at Portsmouth to consist of
twenty three battleships, twenty four
cruisers and twenty-nine torpedo gun
boats, training ships and smaller craft.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid sailed to-
day for New York from Southampton on
the steamer Philadelphia, this being the
date fixed for Mr.. Reds return soon after
the announcement that the coronation had
been postponed. Mr.. Reid was then IN
vited to return whenever the coronation
should take place. Since that time now
ever, circumstances led the British govern
ment to give notice that under the greatly
changed conditions il would not again IN
wife the special representatives or foreign
governments to return and although Mr..
Reid was assured of a warm welcome per-
sonally it did not seem best for him to
occupy an exceptional position. With the
approval of the United States government
he is therefore carrying out the original
plan for his return.
The preparations for the coronation OF
King Edward have been resumed, but II is
impossible of course to re-arouSe VlVld
public enthusiasm in the postponed event
IT has now been decided that the whole
route over which the royal carriage Is to
pass will be flushed, dried and then sprink-
led with sand, thus forming a carpet which
will reduce the vibrations of the vehicle.
| The barriers will not be regretted at all the
cross streets intersecting the coronation
route Otherwise the original rigid police
regulat lions will be carried out. One of the
saddeSt features of the pOstpOnement OF
the Kings browning from the viewpoint of
| the speculator is the great slump in the
| price of seats. a conspicuous example or
| this is the fine stand at st. Margaret s,
! Westminster, where the best seats were
! sold for ten guineas. There prices nave
| dropped twenty per cent, While at many or
| the best places along the route from one
| guinea to three guineas secure seats pre-
! ViOusly held al five and eight guineas. Some
| smart clubs on st. James street and Pic
