INVESTIGATING EXPLOSION.
Expert Says FraterviIIe Disaster Was
 Caused by Gas.

Knoxville. June 2S-The inquest into the cause of the Fraterville mine explosion May 19, was resumed at Coal Creek this morning. Attorneys for the Coal Creek Company. owner of the fated mine, ob- jected to the inv estigation on the ground that three jurymen were relatives of men killed in the mine, and also that the law requires affidavits from two witnesses charging that unlawful violence caused the deaths before an inquest could be held
 he coroner overruled the first objec- tion, but sustained that as to the af- fldavits. These papers were filed by the two witnesses and the inquest proceeded. Only three witnesses have been examined up to 2:30 o'clock. Charles Probert, mining expert, testified 1t was dust ex- plosion and the men 6ied of suffocation.
 James Lewis. an expert, swore 1t was gas explo sion. sufrocetior causing the deaths. He said he had been in mines in many stetes in which explosions had oc- cured, but there was less destruction in this than in any he had witnessed. The inquest will be continued through to- morrow.

ORDINATIONS OF
 THE oLDEN DAYS.

Coronations are not of today CT yes terday. Probably no ceremony performed In the twentieth century, says the Lon 0on Daily Mail, Is more venerable; cer- taInly none has greater traditions. It Is difficult to realize that in main essen tials the crowning of King Edward VII of England and Emperor of India bears a striking resemblance to the onthroniza- tion of Jehoash, of whom we read in II Kings xi., that Jehciada brought forth the Kings son and Tut the crown upon him, and they clapped their hands and sad, "Gcd save the Klrg." The same pas sage also tells of the coronation oath being administered and of the ceremony of enthroning.
 It is not generally known that the jewels include a ring. the putting on of which will signify that the King lis welded to his people," The story goes that one day Edward the Confosscr was walking near hls palace at Westminster wken he was overtaken by poor pilgrim bound for Jerusal sm. He solicited aims Of the King. who. having no money on his person, took off the ring from his finger and gave 1t to the pilgrim. When, in due course, the good man reached Jerusalem, a holy parsonage learned the story of the ring and blessed it. and bade the mar return it to bs King. This behest he obeyed, and the circlet was used at all caronations until the Refor- nation, hen a new ing was made, en- graved simply with the St. George Cross. This ring has teeh used ever since.
 Equally pretty is the story associated with another object which will figure in the coronation. It Is related that at Bethel Jacob slept on a stony pillar" which was .afterward taken to Egypt Thither came Gahelus, son of the King of Athens. who took to wife Scota, daughter of Pharoah. Fearful of the growing power of Moses. they fled with the stone to Spain. Other wanderings 1t had, and finally 1t was cast on the shore of Ireland, having been used as an anchor by Simon Brech. It was then called the Stone of Destiny" and on 1t the Kings of Ireland were placed. The belief exist ed that if the chief were true successor the stone would be silent, but If a preten- der that 1t would "groan aloud as with thunder"
 Another interesting custom at the coro- nation will be the amounting of King Ed ward VII. from an ampulla, or cial, of holy oil. St. Thomas a Becket-so the story goes-was praying in a French church by night, during his punishment, when the Virgin Mary appeared to him and gave him the ampulla. It has been represented at English coronations since the year 1899. Its present counterpart Is in the shape of an eagle of gold seven inches high, the holy oil flowing through the beak. At the forthcoming coronation the Archbishop of Canterbury will pour some of the oil into a golden spoon and anoint the King In the form of a cross on the crown of the head and on both palms, saying:
 'Be thou anointed with holy oil as

FOOD SCARCE IN LONDON.
Extraordinary Preparations Are BeIna
 Made for Provisioning the City.

New York. June 23-Extraordinary pre- parations are being made for provisioning London and Its multitude of visitors on Thursday and Friday, says a Herald dis patch from London. Smithfield Is san guine there will be no shortage of meat, notwithstanding the fact that a weeks supply will have to be distributed In the first three days Billingsgate Is not so sure of it's power to meet all demands, as there will be a tremendous rush on fish though immense orders have been given at the fishing centers. It is not unlikely within the next few days that salmon lobster and soles may be at famine prices
 Last week was a fairly busy time, as 2200OO pounds of this fish reached the market. Today, tomorrow and Wednes- day half a million pounds of salmon are expected. Besides this, more than double the weeks supply of other fish will be disposed of In three days.
 The staffs of many firms have been largely increased to deal with the rush. In many cases all Thursdays and Fri days bread will be delivered on Wednes- day. but some of the bakers have found this impossible and will deliver on Thurs day.
