JOY IN LONDON NOW

Kitchener, the stand ptoprfetors have to
rely on the kings first public temperance,
which is likely to be a drive through the
streets to the national thanksgiving serv-
Ice. That, however, must be some time
hence, as a man in his sixty-frst year, in
spite Of his wonderfully quick recovery
from the immediate results Of the opera
ton, will probably have to submit to a
rather lengthy convalescence.
What at first sight was one Of the most
pathetic features OF the postponement Of
the coronation, among all the serious imam
cial embarrassment on every hand. was tho

A noticeable fact, however, was that
these tears and grief" among the sharp
streets Arabs only seem to have developed
today. The symptoms spread rapidly.
Among scores Of clever little plaglarists in
other walks of life the same keen disap-
pointment was visible.
American Women Disappointed.
Had the coronation occurred American
women would have constituted one of the
most brilliant features. The duchess Of
| Marlborough had a new coronet, even more
magnificent than the big pearl-tipped tiara
she has hitherto worn at court. Her I'M
worn acquisition rlvalled that Of the duch-
ess of Portland. in which the great Port
land diamond itself. worth el2,O 900, has
been reset.
Mrs. Arthur Paget, who would have had
a seat in the kings box at Westminster
Abbey, would have worn a costly emerald
and diamond tiara. collar, pendant and,
brooches formerly, belonging to her mother,
Mrs. Paran Stevens. Mrs Paget's dress
was embroidered with diamonds and pearls
Lady Abinger, who was a Miss Magruder,
daughter of the late Commodore Magruder,
u. S. N, and widow of the third Baron
Abinger, had her peerless robes embroidered
with gold, and, besides her diamond coro-
net, would have worn a four-row pearl
necklace, clasped. with a huge sapphire and
surrounded with diamonds, once the prop"
erty OF Marie Antoinette. -.
Lady .Stratford, formerly Mrs. Samuel
Colgate Of New York, would certainly have
made a sensation as she had a very high
diamond tiara and instead Of a necklace
would have had rubies and pearls, draped
like an aiguillette. on her left shoulder.
Lady Deferin, formerly Miss. Florence
Davis of New York, intended to wear all
the heirIooms OF the Dufferin family. which
she recently inherited.
Lady Grey Egerton. who was Miss Mae
Cuyler, daughter Of the late Major ]. Wayne
Cuyler, U! s. A., was going to dress In white
embroidered with gold lilies. with q dia-
mond tiara, a diamond and pearl collar and
two necklaces, one OF rubies and diamonds
and one all diamonds.
Lady Deerhurst, step~daughter OF Charles
Bonynge of San Francisco, was to wear
beautiful black pearls, a m necklace
and a diamond tiara.
Depew Doubts the Bulletins.
NEW YORK, June 2s.-The London cor
respondent Of the Herald cables that Sena-
tor Depew, who has followed the history
Of King Edwards case very carefully, does
not entertain the most optimistic view OF
the outcome. '
III you will notice the bulletins that
have, been Issued" said the SENATOR, you
will see that they have all been worded
with the utmost care. To anyone reading
between the lines It is apparent those in
charge Of the case are not at all sanguine as
to the kings recovery. This convinces me
that the royal patients condition is far
more serious than people In general APP
preciate."
James r. Keene would express no opinion
on the chances Of the kings recovery.
Whatever the result may be-" he said,
"It will not affect values in America, II
the king should die, his son. the prince Of
Wales, would be proclaimed king within
fifteen minutes. The government would so
on as usual"

cania, which arrived early today from Liv-
erpooI and QueenstoS n, held festivities on

In the forenoon much merriment was in
dulged in IN all quarters OF the ship. At
noon the ships crew were mustered a
salute OF twenty-One guns was hred and all

Games, races and athletic competitions
filled up the afternoon entertainment In
a tug-of-war between teams representing
England and America, America won. In the
evening the usual concert was held.
The next day, June 81. at 8 o'clock In the
